Our esteemed contemporary. the 81. Louis
ReDublic. publishes u yarn OF peculiar absurd
ity. IL AYERS through one OF it's correspondents
that the story lately printed in the Philadelphia
Press containing certain detailed suggestions
as to tho nature OF Mr. CLEvELAND's recent III
health. was actually but vindctive creation
OF Mr.. WILLIAM r. GRACE. According to the
Republic. the purpose Of Mr.. GRACE was to take
vengeance on Mr.. CLEVELAND for the latters
failure to reward Mr.. GRACE properly for his
political services to Mr.. CLEvELANn To give
due credit to politics we must say that wc have
mover known q politician Of any prominence SO
to overstep the normal lines OF his profession,
as to try to square up n political account by
inventing q malicious personal assault like
that which the Republic attributes to Mr.
GRACE. No amount OF disappointment on Mr..
GRACE's part In his relations with Mr.. CtEvE-
LAND can mako the Republics story anything
but ridiculous and contemplate.

He made his way from the entrance through
the crowded hall to the platform. and with the

The Archbishop. with the remark that tho

say few words on the sublime faith which
upheld Columbus through all the trials that
preceded his discovery OF America. Columbus
was religious enthusiast OF the best sort.
1t was this religious enthusiasm, he said.
which enabled him to hold his own when all
tho world looked coldly on his great project.
and it was this In tho end which had enabled
him TO triumph over every obstacle He

The nine Chinese who. after reaching this
port from Havana, were kept aboard ship for a
week. have been permitted to land. Grossly
exaggerated statements are made about the
number OF Chinese who enter our ports despite
the Exclusion law. 1t Is not true that tens Of
thousands OF them get into this country every
year. We know to q certainty how many come
In by our Atlantic ports and how many by the
Pacific: we know that every one OF them has
to give satisfactory reason for his admission
under the law. Besides the very few thus
admitted. there are some who enter the United
States surreptitiously by way OF Canada and Of
Mexico. 1t is possible that the number of these
may run up to a thousand year: but we have
never had any reason to believe that it cunts
to more than that. 1t is very difficult for a
Chinese to cross the line that divides this
country from Canada or that which divides
it from Mexico The attempt to do SO is
apt to be frustrated by the officers Of Gus
toms along or near the frontier. who are
on the watch for interlopers. A few of
these interlopers have been pabbed this year.
turned around feet and face. and sent back
over the line which they had crossed. 1t is
costly. as we'll as a dangerous thing for a Chi
nese to enter the country that way. He has to
take ship from China for British Canadian or
West Indian or Mexican port. and. when he
gets to 1t. there Is yet long distance between
him and the happy land in which laundres
are plentiful and profitable. In addition to all
this. he has to pay heavy tax to the Canadian
Government il he lands at any Canadian port.
Not more than three or four thousand Chinese
have reached Vancouver this year. and not
more than one-tenth MS many can have
reached the eastern ports OF Mexico from Cuba
elsewhere.
After obtaining such Information upon this
subject as is available. we have come to the
conclusion that not more than about a thou
sand Chinese have entered the United States
within any year. in violation OF the laws which
prohibit immigration from China.

MoNuMENr TO PROFESSOR PROCTOR.

MONUMENT TO PROFESSOR PROCTOR.
Ward Beecher, Fitz-Greene Halleck,
John Brougham, Lester Wallack and
William J. Florence, and the family
plots of Rev. T. De Witt Talmage and
Judge Leon Albeit of New Jersey.
The monument is great block of
Quincy granite, beautifully polished and
handsomely ornamented. At it's apex
is raised star, and about the plot
brass railing resting on posts of carved
rustic work. On the reverse side of the
monument there is to be an inscription,
written by Herbert Spencer at the re-
quest of Miss Mary Proctor, the profess
or's daughter. It reads:
On public as on private grounds Professor
Proctor's premature death was much to be la
mented. He united great detailed knowledge
with broad general views in an unusual de-
gree, and while admirably fitted for popular
expositor, was at the same time well equipped
for original investigation, which, had he lived,
would have added to our astronomical knowl-
edge. Professor Proctor was also to be adj
mired for his endeavors to keep the pursuit Of
science free from the corrupting and paralyz-
ing influence of state aid.
HERBERr SPENCER.
Professor Proctor was only 81 years Of
age at the time of his death. Though he
was best known in this country as lee
turer, his writings were numerous and
authoritative, and he was credited with
many important astronomical discover
les. He was phenomenal mathemati-
clan and seemed to possess an intuitive
power to handle figures rapidly.

THE FAlRY's GIFT.
BY ANDREW LANG.

("Take short views. "-Sydney Smith.)
The Fays that to my christ'ning came
(For come they did, my nurses taught
me,)
They did not bring me wealth OF fame.
IT'S very little that they brought me.
But one, the crosssest of the crew,
The ugly old one, unlimited,
Said, / shall be avenged on you,
My child: you shall grow up short
sighted!n
With magic juices did she lave
Mine eyes, and wrought her wicked
pleasure.
Well, of all the gifts the Fairies gave,
Here is the present that treasure!
The bore whom others fear and flee
[ do not fear, do not flee him;
I pass him calm as calm can be;
/ do not cut do not see him!
And with my feeble eyes and dim!
Where you see patchy fields and
fences,
For me the mists of Turner swim
My "azure distance ;" soon commences!
Nay. as I blink about the streets
Of this befogged and miry city,
Why, almost every girl one meets
Seems preternaturally pretty!
"Try spectacles, ones friends intone
You'll see the world correctly through
them.
But have visions of my own,
And not for worlds would | undo
them!

CHIEF JUSTICE OF SAMOA.
A Vermont Lawyer Appointed to That Inn
sportant Office.

A Vermont Lawyer Appointed to That Inn
sportant Ofice.
The position of chief justice Of Samoa
is peculiar one, and the Office is filled
in a peculiar way. The incumbent is
practically supreme on the islands, as
his court is the highest tribunal of the
nation, andehis decision is final. Under
the treaty between them on the matter
Germany, England and the United States
have all to agree on the appointment of
the chief justice or else submit it to
some disinterested power. That is how
it came about that the king of Sweden
appointed Chief Justice Cedarkrantz.
who has not given satisfaction and has
been removed.
Henry G. Ide, who succeeds him, was
appointed on the recommendation of the
German government, the other two gov
ernments concurring. Mr.. Ide knows
all about the Samoan question, for he
was chairman Of the commission ap-
pointed in 1891 by the three governments
mentioned to settle the Samoan land
troubles and spent over ayear there, rem
dering very valuable services. AS dis
putes over land titles create a large part

of the business submitted to the chief
justice, Mr.. Ide ought to be well quail
fed for his new position.
Mr.. Ide is native of Vermont and has
been very successful practicing law
yer at st. Johnsbury, in that state, since
1870. He is in his fiftieth year and was
educated at Dartmouth college, gradu-
ating in the class of 1866, of which he
was valedictorian. After leaving college
he was for two years principal Of the St.
Johnsbury academy, which he had him
self attended as boy, and in 1869 went
to Arlington, Mass, as principal Of the
high school there. He is a Republican
and has held many offices under that
party. He was attorney Of Caledonia
county from 1875 to 1878 and state SEN
ator from 1882 to 1886. He was presi-
dent of the Republican state convention
in 1884 and a delegate to the national
convention in 1888.
There is no politics in his appointment
to the chief justiceship, as President
Cleveland was in measure compelled
to appoint Germany's nominee and GER
tainly could not decline to do so for mere
party reasons.

Admiral Tryon's dispatch box, which

in order to provide against the risks of
accidents the box was lined with lead
and perforated with many holes to in
sure its at once sinking to the bottom of
the sea if it happened to- come into the

An Appropriate Monument to Mark His
Resting Place.
Ever since his sad and lonely death
from yellow fever in New York city on
Sept. IL, 1888, the remains of Professor
Richard A. Proctor. the great astrono-
mer, have laid in neglected grave in
the burial lot of friend in Greenwood
cemetery, Brooklyn, touching illustra-
ton of how apt the world is to forget
even it's greatest men when once they
have passed away from the scene of their
labors and triumphs. No stone has
marked his resting place, and the mound
that once was there is now almost eff
faced. But at last, through the gener-
osity of George W. Childs of Philadel-
phia, the long neglect is to be repaired,
and the professors coffin will be re-
moved to more appropriate grave, and
the site marked with a fitting monu-
ment.
The new grave will also be in Green
wood, but in a much better location.
