have been done all easily enough by
simply amending our old charter; but

Of our present Council-R. q. John

Their term expires in July next. The
present Council has done more bust
ness than all former ones combined
since the election Of H. E. Pickett
away back in the sixties. For the
past three months they have been
trying to float some twenty year
seven per cent bonds with q New

forty thousand dollars, for the pur.
pose Of taking up all outstanding
warrants that are now drawing 1C

A NEW SONG 1N CH1Na


 The Chinamen in this country are con- ducting themselves discretsly in the trying situation in which they have been placed by the Geary Expulsion act. And one of them who lives in this city even takes 8 rather humorous view of his predicament He js Sunday School scholar, and his teacher has been trying to get him to learn the Lords prayer. He didn't seem to want to or think he needed to, as he would have to leave the country soon, and he didn't feel that the Lords prayer would be par tioularly useful to him in China. His teacher tried to persuade him that it would, and added as 6 further inducement that if he would learn 1t it would help him to get into heaven. He looked up slyly and asked her if she didn't think some proyis- ion would be made for the exclusion of Chinamen from Heavenf
 The Chinamen in China are much stirred up by the attack on their brethren in the United States. It has revived the Chinese hatred of foreigners wkom they classify with f'rats," and the Americans among them are now special subjects of their wrath. The latest intelligence is that in the province of Human, Tu Ne Tu, an in- fuential Chinese scholar, has issued Ca new song" in which he declares steamboats were designed as 8 convenient means of decoying to sea and drowning Chinese passengers, and rates the telegraph as g device to spy out the land. He charges the foreigners with being kidnappers and murderers of children and as being the in troducsrs of opium into that country. The Thew song" has been distributed through several provinces, and the feeling against foreigners has been so intensifled that an outbreak is expected.
 Of course the Chinsmen in China can't be expected to understand and appreciate the patriotic (and po]iticaD motives that found expression in the Geary act. Nsr can they fairly be expected to listen very kindly to missionaries who hail from this country. The missionaries will be lucky if they are not violently punished for what has been done here.

A SILENT W0MAN.

One by one the roses fall, and one by one the old beliefs vanish. And though the old jokes are harder to kill than even the old beliefs, occasionally one of them gets damaging rap. The old joke about the talkativeness of women has had . long life. It has been almost believed that it was the fondnsss of Woman for talking that got the human race into trouble in the Garden of Eden, the idea being that Woman would talk with the devil rather than not talk st all. And she funny men have from time immenorial, done their best to perpetuate this and similar notions, until the world is pretty well permested with the feeling that Woman must talk If she would live, and that nothing can stop her. Owing to tLe persistence of the funny men, wise men have be- come infected with the joke about Woman's tongueyness. Samuel Johnson eaid: "I am not so lost in lexicography as to forget that words are the daughters of earth, and that things are tho sons of heaven" This is a very learned and in- genious way of saying that Woman and words are intimately related. Dr. Haddern also says "words are mems daughters, but Gcd's sons are things" And Herbert goes SO far as to say that "Words are women." If this is true, of course women are words, the funny men are at one with the wise men, and the old joke, like come other old jokes, is founded on fact When looked at in this way, the argument that Heaven is not placs where women are. bs- cause there was onca silence there for half an hour looks reason able, and the discus sions of the Board of Lady Managers oi the Columbian Expedition, and also those of the Congress of Women are under atAndable.
 But, however. It is not always we'll tt pin ons'a faith to an old joke, even if i
 has succeeded in securing the suppor
 of poets, of sages, and sacred writer.
 Womsn's tongue can bs stopped, and sh' l can be as silent as "ths silence that Is il
 the starry sky" Nor does is need tn,
 resurrection of old Bill Jones to psoye thi
 important statement. There are living
 supporters of it in Alabama, who can a
 any time come forward to testify to tn
 fact that . woman can exist without talk
 ing. There is a woman in that State wh
 was struck by lightning ssvsn years az
 and has never spoken sincs. She is il
 good health, and is much respected in
 community where gossip is prevalent, an
 where the old joke about the tongue c
 Woman persists.
