Oriental Impertinence.

Tho world is pretty we'll used by this
time to find many Of its new" achieve
ments merely fresh discoveries of some
art or invention known and lost cen
turtles ago by the Chinese. We draw the
line, however, at being robbed Of our
literary glories. Some one has discover
ed that an old Chinese-or is it Japa-
nese?-poem has been unearthed that
much resembles 1.-The Last Leaf" by
our Holmes of revered memory. This is
not the last leaf, but the last straw that
is bearable. If those persistent orientals
do not stop matching our successes with
their cast off history, We'll start new
crusade to find and raze to tie ground
the factory for manufacturing replicas
Of modern achievements, which must
be hidden somewhere in the interior OF
the effete east.-New York Times.

ticed seven days in the week riding up
and down town in one or another of the
elevated lines. His eyes are keen and
small, and occasionally he makes note
OF something that occurs to him. He
never appears to see anything of what s
going on around him, but it is noticed
that train guards shout out the names
OF stations in louder tone, and the
whole crew becomes suddenly imbued
with new life, as it were.
The little man who causes such a
metamorphosis is Colonel F. X. Hahn,
manager Of the Manhattan Elevated
system. and one Of the most capable
railroad men in the country. He goes
over all his lines daily, besides putting
in some eight hours Of intense labor on
the details Of the Manhattan's opera

The Listing and Shipping Bills.

The postponed hearing on the listing
bill didn't take place. Gov. Davis, at
whose request this time was set for a
hearing, thought he had no more to say
and presented remonstrance signed by
ex-Gov. ROBBIE and seven past masters of
oranges. Senator Wiggin read letter
from the Governor of Vermont, saying
that the listing law worked well in that
state.
The committee then went into execu-
tive session and voted in favor of the
shipping tax bill 1t was thought by the
committee, however, that the provision
that vessel on which 40 per cent. of its
original cost was expended in repairs
might be taken advantage of. Ship owners
might expend 80 per cent, make repairs
oftener, and avoid the renewal of age
The committee suggests that when repairs
amounting to 25 per cent. of the original
cost are made, it shall be valued ut five
eighths its age.
