WE have debarred the Chinese from
crossing our frontiers. We were forced
to that prohibition as a necessary
measure of self-defense. and, as q rule,
it is rigidly enforced. Yet the Chinese
do not assassinate the officers of the
law. nor pillage factories whose owners
have refused their demands. They
are far less inimical to public order
than thousands of immigrants from
countries that boast of high degree

A Narrow Escape for New Workers

4 few days ago an accident occurred
on the Ninth avenue elevated road at the
curve on One Hundred and Tenth street,
which was significant chiefly from the
view of what might have been and what
has been predicted will occur at this dan
gerous and lofty curve sooner or later. At
this point the motor, drawing weil-flled
train, broke down and before its speed
could be checked, several ties were torn
up and fell to the street below, the flying
pieces striking and slightly iniuring two
young men named Albert Patterson and
Andrew White.
Great excitement prevailed among the
numerous passengers on the train, but
fortunately the cars kept the track and a
terrible catastrophe was avoided.

JEWELS IN THE SEA-.
An Incident ii the Life Of the Austrian
Ex- Empress Of Mexico. II

An Incident III the Life of the Austrian
Ex- Empress Of Mexico.
Sixty feet below the surface Of the,
sea, says the New York Recorder, at the
foot of the rocks where Schtos Miramar
is built, ropes of priceless pearls are
sunk in an iron cage. They are the
property Of the now demented ex-
Empress Charlotte of Mexico. The I'M
fortunate archduchess wore these
pearls-her husbands first gift to her
day and night around her beautiful
throat, until her return from the disas-
trous Mexican expedition which cost
her husband life and her own reason.
The gems sickened and lost their
lovely orient when she lay sick unto
death at Vienna, after having received
the news of Emperor Maximiian's
tragic end. They suddenly turned a
dull waxy yellow, and the jewelers. who
were consulted as to the best means OF
restoring them to their former tint de-
clared that the only way of doing SO
was TO lower them to the bottom of the
sea for an Indefinite period.
Sch1oss Miramar, as is well known,
was the creation and pride of the ILL
fated archdulxe, who, led away by his
wife's Unsuitable ambition, left this par
adise on earth to undertake a hopeless
enterprise, which he regretted from the
first moment that he set foot on The soil
of Mexico. Percfled on the edge Of a
rocky promontory, and built entirely of
the purest white marble, the fairy-ike
palace. with it's glorious foreground OF
sapphire-blue sea and it's background Of
green hills and feathery palms, is be-
yond description either by pen or brush.
From the windows and terraces one
looks down upon the deep water full
eighty feet below, a water so transpar~
ent and pure that the eye can penetrate
through it's twenty fathoms and follow
the capricious and delicateiy-tinted sub
marine vegetation growing far down on
the golden sand.
The gardens, rising in a gentle slope
behind the castle, are a mass OF BIOS
soming flowers and Of rarest trees and.
bushes, while fountains as magnificent
as those of Versailles refresh the air in
every direction.
It is to this unique place that the all
ing pearls have been taken, and it is re-
ported that they are gradually recover
ing their beauty after their bath OF over
twenty tivs. years in the calm waters
which once reflected the dark beauty OF
their fair waarer.

Ways of the German. Empress.

The German empress has been great
~ annoyed of late with applications
from all sorts and conditions OF men to.
act as godmother to their children. The
annoyance has gone SO far that the en-
press has made it an iron bound rule to
confer the honor only when she is ac-
quainted personally with one or other
of the parents. However, in all other.
cases, after satisfactory investigation
has been made, she causes to be for-
warded to the unsuccessful applicants
a bank note of one hundred marks and
a roll Of fine linen. If, however, she
hears that the parents are we'll to do,
her liberality takes the form of a hand,
some cloak for the baby, embroidered
with the imperial monogram.

A Knowing Porker.

Pigs are not supposed to have much
sense, but G.. 81. C1rrier, Of Abbott, Me-,
has one that knows thing or two.
The infant porcupine is fond Of taking
a bath in the river, to which its owner
objects, and every time he got out OF
his pen, Currier would board it up a
little higher. That did not stop piggy,
however, aud Mr.. G. watched to see
how he got out. It appeared that the
boards were nailed on two or three
inches apart and the pig would climb to
the top by putting his toes in the cracl1
and, there being a rose suspended over
the outside, he would catch it in his
mouth and lower himself to the ground.

1t Is tTnearthed Tn The Ljttle Town of
chichester, County OF Durham
There is s. svell~known Ro1nan site 10
the county OF Durham, on the banks OF
the river Wear, about d mile north OF
the Episcopal town Of Bishop Auck-
land; it is called chichester. A few
years ago, Says the London Illustrated
News. some interesting discoveries
were made by JohE Proud, a Local So
licitor and antiquary; bat a re11arkaele
addition has been made by the unearth~
ing OF an altar Oh She land OF j. e. :
Newly, the present resident of Bin
chester hall, who is now having water
pipes laid to supply his household. :
This altar is of large size, four feet.
three inches in height by one loot two
and one-half inches in breadth and one :.
foot one~half inch in depth, and it is in
excellent preservation. 1t has sculp-
t,ared on it's sides the four principal Sac
rifcial implements, the 'Ssecuris," or
ak, the sscuiter," or knife, the ''patera,"
or dish, and the 'prsefericulu1n,' or jug.
Besides this it bears AL inscription,
which. expanding the abbreviated
words, is read as follows: "Jovi Optlho
Maxine, ct Matribus Ollototis, sive
Transm arinis, Pomponius Donatus,
Benefciarius Consulis, Pro Salute Sua
ct Suo1~u1n, Votum solvit libenti az

fes: 'tTo Jupiter, the Best and Great

rine, Mothers, Pomponius Donatus,

for the safety of himself and those be-

There is a town or village now in Spain
called Olot, but it is at distance from
the Vitto1lisn country, in the northeast
corner, near the Mediterranean sea and
the frontier of France. It is conceiv-

4 BOY BAROMETER.
His Straight Fair Kinks Three Days Be-


His Straight Fair Kinks Three Days Be-
fore a Big Storm.
There is man in Centerville town
ship, St. Clair county, ILL.,, who boasts
of a remarkable boy, says the St. Louis
Republic. The mans name is Johnson,
and he recently removed there from
Kansas, but stopped few weeks III
East St. Louis before he finally decided
to locate permanently in Centerville.
The boy is a plump, good-natured and
intelligent lad of about twelve years,
with glossy black hair as straight as an
arrow, and goes by the name of Walter.
He is the only son and the pride OF his
fathers heart. His father boasts that
the boy is irregular barometer, and that
he can always tell three days ahead OF
an approaching storm by the peculiar ac-
ton of the boy. According to the state
ment made by the father to a prominent
divine, just three days before storm
Of any magnitude the boys hair will
begin to l1inl, and in an incredibly
short space of time will curl almost in
ringlets on the back of his head, with
short curls in front, which remain in
that condition until after the storm,
when it resumes it's natural condition
and remains straight until the approach
of another storm.
Mr.. johnson warned the farmers of
his neighborhoed of the approaching
storm which occurred on recent morn
ing at five o'clock, for the boys hair
still kept curled, which satisfied his
father that there was another storm
approaching. The curls were thicker
and longer the next day, and sure
enough the vicinity was visited by a
violent storm on that evening. An
hour afterward his black hair straight
ened out again and the fears of the
people in the vicinity were very much
relieved, as they were satisfied that the
terrible storms were over for the present.

Ireland of the right to govern itself IN

support OF the nation than expenditure

Hannibal Ham1in's Coat.

Hannibal Hamlin wore to the very
last the full-dress suit of black broad
cloth with expansive shirt front that
formed in antebellum days the dis
tinctive attire of public men. It was
the style of suit that Webster and Clay
were always clad in when they adj
dressed the senate, and it has survived
in few isolated instances, Of which
Hamlin's was probably the most con-
spicuops. It connected the powdered
wig and court costume OF Adams and
Madison with the more modern Prince
Albert Of Depew and Ingalls,
