his cousin, Yee Cob, the celestial

duced Yee Lee to accompany him, and the
cousins separated, Yee Cob going by wav of
San Francisco and Yee Lee by way of VAN

Yee Lee arrived safely at his old
home and there met and married the
Chinese belle of his parents selection.
After brief honeymoon he returned with
Yee Cob as far as Yokohama, where
the twain separated, each taking the route
BY which they came. Yee Cob was ad-
mitted all right and came on to Pittsburg
Yee Lee purchased a through ticket
from Victoria to Pittsburg. He was, how
ever, refused admission to the United
States by Colonel Nelson, United States
Immigrant Inspector. He was, therefore,
compelled to return to Gretna, just across
the Canadian line from North Dakota.
Colonel Nelson refused to recognize Yee
Lees Pittsburg credentials, and Yee Lee
was compelled to abide in Gretna for 80
days He wrote to his brother Yee Tang,
OF Irwin, Pa, and the latter waited upon
Mr. Donehoo. The reverend gentle
man prepared letter identifying
Yee Lee and proving his citizenship.
These were sent to Colonel Nelson, but had
no effect. The papers were returned un-
recognized. First Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, Judge Crounse, was written
to and an official explanation was demanded
and received from Nelson, and the China
man was finally admitted.
During the delay however Yee Lee had
been seized by the Canadian Government
smallpox broke out among the Grents
Cinnamon, and Yee Lee, with number of
others, was 1uarantined five miles oat in the
country. Rev. Donehoo insisted upon the
Chinaman's release and the United States
Government was induced to act in the
matter. The Chinaman did not bring his
wife with him

Why tho La dies Want 1t,

The demand for the famous Camellia
flour is something wonderful There is no
hard explanation to be given. It's simple.
Camellia makes bread that delights house,
KEEPERS, because it is milled by the finest
process known to the milling business.
Every bushel of wheat is carefully in
spected. The -four is tested by baking be-
tore leaving the mill. Is it any wonder
that the ladies want Camellia, the flour
that bakes the ightest, incest, richest bread

The other day party of Cleveland men
from the Sixth ward, Allegheny, headed by
Alexander Wilson, went out the Perrys-
vile road to a farm owned by the daughter
of lifelong Democrat, who had before his
death provided that certain hickory trees
left standing in the fields should only be
sacrificed tor Presidential poles. The party
selected the finest they could find, and be-
tween drinks chopped it down. When, with
a mighty crash, the shapely old hickory
fell to the ground there was a commotion in
the foliage A moment later three dark
gray animals bounded out and scampered
across the corn field. *
''Coons, by thunder!" calculated one of
the party.
A rush was made for the fleeing quad
rupeds, but they all escaped. The incident
produced mourntul change in the spirits
of the party, from which they have not yet
recovered.

Above the Constitution.

There is no government in the civilized
world, except possibly Russia, which is
not to some extent under the domination
of popular opinion. The present emperor
of Germany is the most virile monarch in
Europe, but he dare not oppose too griev
ously the will of his subjects. If there is
any written instrument of government
powerful beyond all other laws, it is our
own constitution, for it is the rule of ac-
ton prescribed by the people for the guild
ance and control of their agents. But the
history of the federal power shows that
there is a power above the constitution,
and that is the power of popular opinion.
There have often been times when the con-
stitution has not stood in the way of the
peoples will.
Even the supreme court will change it's
mind if the people are persistent. 1t has
not been always necessary for popular
opinion to demand the breaking or flexion
of the constitutions; it is only necessary
that it should approve what has been DONE
The purchases of Louisiana and Alaska,
and the many instances of executive and
legislative acts during the war of the re
bellion that were clearly beyond the CON
stitutional grants of power. are cases in
point which will occur to any one who is
at all familiar with our constitutional his

The Young American,

A boy is an odd piece of furniture, but
he is the ground and chief ingredient of
the man. Delude not Yourself with the
belief that the boy is not all he pretentis

an incomprehensiblef fellow to any one but
another boy, and because he will presently
grow into the awkward between-hay-and

don't signify that he is an idiot now. He

THE Mississippi river is

THE Mississippi river is proving
treacherous at Memphis. which is in
danger of becoming an inland city. This
would be q severe blow to Memphis and
all the towns along the lower Mississippi.
but the river towns above St. Louis have
come to be quite independent Of the
river. The contention that it regulates
railroad rates is true with regard to
freight between LEGAL points north or
south along the river. Railroad tariffs
between these points go up when navi-
CATION closes. But it has come to be
that the river has no perceptible effect
on through tariffs between Mississippi
river points and the principal cities east
or west. Competition between trunk
lines east and west. the Dubuque Tele-
graph holds, regulates these rates now
quite independent Of the river. and the
railroads are operated with such economy
that they can afford to compete with the
