MT. STERLING, KENTUCKY, TUESDAY, AUGUST 80 1892
NEWS IN BRIEF.

Col. VIM. B. McCreery, United
States Consul at Valparaiso, who ar
rived in New York recently, re-
ports that he was treated with great
cordially and courtesy. There is not
a particle of truth in the stories of i'll
feelings on the part of the Chilians
against Americans. The relations be-
tween the two people, as between the
two governments, are of the most COZ
dial and friendly nature, and Ameri-
cans are uniformly treated kindly and
well. Among the better class of
Chilians this is especially noticeable.
Both government and people are
friendly to Mr.. Egan; if there has
been any ill-feeling towards him it
has subsidized. The American trade is
as good as it has ever been. There is
no prejudice whatever against citi-
zens of the United States, and they
have as good chance as others in
the markets.

Honesty in Finland.
GEORGE o. BARNES,

The Films are an upright. faithful
and hospitable people. A writer in
the Saturday Review speaks of their
honesty as proverbial, and proceeds to
give some experiences of his own as
illustrative Of the sclupulous and even
"heroic" manner in which they tell
the truth, and the whole truth, under
the most difficult circumstances.
This seems to be exactly the kind
of apparatus l am looking tor" 1 said
to merchant in Helsingfors, as L
looked at an article worth about sew
enty-fiv dollars; II will buy it at
once if, knowing what l take it for,
you can honestly. advise me to take
it,"
"No, sir" he answered. 81 do not
recommend you to take it, nor have L
anything in stock just now that would
suit you." And lett the shop and
purchased what wanted elsewhere.
Heres your fare" said l to a
peasant in the interior, who had
driven for three hours through the
woods, as handed him four shillings,
"No, sir, that's double my fare" he
replied, returning me half the money.
And when told him he might keep
it for his honesty, he slightly nodded
his thanks with the dignity of one of
natures gentlemen, from which de-
faint pride and bringing obsequious-
ness were equally absent.

The Chinese exclusion act requires
that photographs be taken of every
Chinanan in the country--these pho.
tographs to be in triplicate, one copy
to be kept at Washington, one in the
internal revenue office of the district,

himself. Besides submitting to being

characteristics, and pay fee to cover
the expense of all this.
