A Chlnaman on Our Treatment of
China,


China.
If America thinks that an influx of
Chinese is ruinous to the country, the
only proper course for her is to take
counsel with China in the matter;
for as long as there is intercourse
between the two nations, it stands to
reason that neither should take any
action affecting the name or interest
of the other without consulting the
other. Citizens of the United States
first encouraged the Chinese to immi
CRATE. 1t is not reasonable, then, for
China to demand that in this conflict
of interest no arbitrary and high
handed action shall be taken by the
United States, but that there shall
be forbearance and compromise?
We condemn the exclusion bill al
together, because it singles us out
for exclusion and thereby degrades
us, not only before the world, but
before all other Asiatics. But | let
that pass, because it was agreed to
by the emperor after mutual consul
tation. We condemn, however, the
one thousand dollar qualification
bill, which was made law without
our knowledge and consent, and We
condemn each and every effort to
pass anti-Chinese bills without coun-
sci having first been taken with our
government. If we feel aggrieved at
the American peoples hostility, We
feel indignant at their leaders for
their manner of showing this hostil-
ity.
What America has to fear is not
from China, but from the fact that
she stands before the world convicted
of Injustice toward a weak nation,
and that she puts her citizens here in
a delicate and painful situation. An
American Protestant Episcopal cler-
gyman in Hou-Kow, anticipating the
adoption of the Geary bill, wrote to
his archdeacon: "If this bill is not
rescinded-and there seems no chance
of that - we had better turn our
Chinese mission over to the Church
of England and devote ourselves to
| Japan" This was not because he
| apprehended retaliation from the
Chinese, but as Il man of honor and
seIf-resDect, he felt he could not face
an audience. So the minister and
consuls would feel in respect to the
mandarins; so would merchants of
the stamp of Russell, Cunningham,
Olyphant, Purdon and Wetm ore feel
in respect to their dealers; and so
would every Christian man of every
Christian country feel in respect to
the pagan nations of the earth

Coast of the United States.

A question having arisen as to the
length of the coast line of the United
States, the coast and gOedetic survey
was recently called upon to furnish n
statement of the length in statute
miles of the general seacoast of the
Atlantic, gulf, Pacific and Alaskan
waters, and also the coast line in
statute miles of the same coasts, in
Guiding islands, bays, rivers, etc, to

of Mexico, 1852 miles; Pacific ocean,
1910 miles; Alaska, 1850 miles.
Including islands, bays and rivers to
the head of tidewater, the statement
was: Atlantic ocean, 36,516 miles; /;

One WAY of ProposInR.

An English writer tells an amusing
story of country house where a
regular daily routine is observed, and
where no chanch is given one of
breaking the monotony. 1t is of a
man who wanted to stay in a coun.
try house, thinking it would give
him the opportunity of proposing to
a girl with whom he had been in love
for a long time. His visit was to
last a fortnight, but the last evening
came without his having had one
chance of being alone with her during
the whole time. AS he sat at dinner
(of course she was at the opposite
end of the tablet, he felt the time was
fast passing away, and in a few hours
he would no longer be in the same
house with her. When the ladies
went to the drawing room he would
have to sit on in the dining room.
His host might allow him to look in
at the drawing room for few min
utes that evening, but after that his
presence would be required in the bill
lard room. In utter desperation he
took up the menu card and on it
wrote: 7" Will you marry me?" He
doubled it up, telling the butler to
give it to the lady in question. He
did so. She read it, and, with the
perfect sang froid born only of the
nineteenth century, said: "Tell the
gentleman Yes

NOT FAR AWAY.

Not far away
The city where they walk today,
The undisc overed country where the 1rlends
Are resting that walked with us yesterday,
And in our visions we their forms may see,
Because the veil is lifted when we sleep,
Angels come nearer then, their watch TO Keep,
And those we love speak low to you ana me-
Not far away
The country where no sorrows ever come
The land of sweet release, the land OF endless
peace,
The heavenly home.
Look not so far for streets all paved with
gold,
For happiness untold,
For softly-swinging pearly gates
That stood ajar to let our loved ones IN,
For heaven is nearer to us, every one,
Than we can know.
And when at evening sinks the western sun
On couch of gold and crimson, sinks to rest,
And folds the gentle evening to his breast,
The angels come and go.
Thrusting aside the trifling films between,
Keep watch'and ward above us in onr dreams
Clasp close within their own the outstretched
hand,
Quiet the doubts that rise
To separate US from Paradise
And lead us onward to the bette 4Pn9.

The Patent Mixer,

A new invention is out in England,
which is destined to astonish even
the Yankees. 1t is said that it can
milk any number of cows at the same
time. An English paper thus de-
scribes it: "The mixer consists of
a machine somewhat resembling an
air pump, to which the cow is at
tached by a number of tubes. On the
occasion when the lord mayor of
London lent his patronage to the in
teresting experiment, the proceedings
commenced with the arrival of n
gentleman of agricultural aspect,
who calmly nslIP his ,,!,5 shirt ! sleeves 5e,,,,
mination ts ., he was cap
able of milking 80 number of cows
by the patent mixer or any other
way. Mr.. Nicholson, one of the pat
entees, now began to connect the
COW by number of valve tubes to
the machine. The first tube ran di-
rect from the machine and ended in
a milk can OF a new pattern. From
the latter ran another tube which
terminated in four small ones, to
which in turn were affixed four small
horns tipped with India rubber. Mr..
Nicholson quickly affixed the latter
to the teats of the COW and the fun
began. The operation was done ST.
lently but effectually by the octopus
looking combination of tubes and
horns, assisted by the pump, and the
crowd expressed their satisfaction in
audible terms. The astonishment of
the COW was, it is said, iudicrous in
the extreme. There is no doubt a
big future before this machine which
leaves the impression that there is no
future for the picturesque and warb-
ling dairymaid."

1t IS said on the best authority that
30,000,000 bushels Of salt are consumed
in this country. The average American
gets away with fifty pounds Of salt every
year. The quantity taken at time is so
small that person hardly notices it, but
a years consumption Of salt by one per-
son is almost bushel. An Englishman
gets along on twenty-five pounds year,
and in France an ordinary man swallows
eighteen pounds between New Years
day and December. IL calculations
amount anything there is no danger Of a
scarcity of the saline article, for a famous
statistician has declared that if all the
salt in the ocean were piled together, it
would make a bulk equal to 1000, 900
cubic miles. He never saw all this salt,
but he says it is there, and all rhat need
be done is to get it safely ashore. Cur
