Quiet in Chinatown,

All was quiet in Chinatown last night.
The boycott on the Sam Yups is still
being pushed with logged determination.
1t looks as though the See Yups had
made up their minds to effectually freeze
out the merchants of the tabooed company
The latter put in the evening heroically
waiting for the customers that never came,
their only patrons being such Chinese as
were relatives.
OF course, all these stores were watched,
but there we're no attempts at physical
force; in fact, there was no reason for any,
because there was pretty general under
standing that Chinese seen going into the
boycotted places would be unpleasantly
remem bered. The See Yups have opened
some opposition butcher-shops on Dupont
street

was beating the animal over the head when
officer Hooper of the Society for Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals. who was passing at the

but thought better of it and accompanied the

sorcery. was a coachman. who. by some

sorcery, was a coachman, who, by some
peculiar process Of reasoning, was re-
garded by the ignorant as past master
in the occult sciences One of his vic
Tins was a girl who was extremely
anxious to be welded to the object of
her affections. The young man could
not be induced to come forward, SO she
consulted the jehu, who told her that
she would be married in the beginning
of February. She put q certain sum of
money down as an installment, and. al
though disappointed, was returning
with the remainder, when the police In
i4ervened and arrested the jehu.
Another dupe was a married woman,
who wanted TO ascertain whether she
had any chance Of obtaining q divorce.
The cards were propitious, and she
cheerfully unloosed her purse strings,
but the divorce has not been pro-
nounced, nor is there any likelihood of
such termination TO her troubles
Great amusement, on the other hand,
was created by the deposition of a ven

he evicted an evil spirit from her habit
alton. She had called on him with her
daughter and he had told them that
the house was bewitched On receipt
of the sum of eighteen francs the
ccachman paid her a visit, and after
shutting himself up in the stable for
ten minutes he emerged with the joyful
tidings that he had discovered "a fatal
toad" and had driven it OFF the prem
Uses. From that moment, the old
woman declared, she had been at
peace, and she wound up with the ex-
preston OF her gratitude and of her
confidence in the great sorcerer. In an

stained with human blood or who has
engaged in deadly dueling. When Gen.
Jackson came to the white house he
had the reputation of having wounded
two men in duelS and killed one. He
had received tive wounds in street
fracases, one of which, from the hands
of Senator Thomas II. Benton. he bore
conspicuously all his life. 1t was said
that ''Old Hickory" had been in
dozen duels and hundred personal
encounters when he entered the white
house. During these latter years we

bred Christian gentlemen and ladies.
The quarrelsome, querulous swaggerer
is no longer popular political idol 4
No matter what differences of opinion
NAV arise, nor how excited statesmen
may become in debate. nor what wicked
things they may say to each other,
there viii never more be dueling In
Washington nor in this vicinity. The
day of blood atonernent at the hands of
man has gone forever. There remains
but little of the dueling spirit. even in
those states where the southern sun
presumably gives to men hotter blood
and quicker tempers.
During recent years there have been
no drunken scenes in the capitol, either
In the senate or house of representa-
tives, with one exception. A celebrated
debate was closed during the early
days of the Fifty-third congress by
senator who has lived over from the
past generation; and his voice was very
shaky, and his ideas were mixed, be-
cause he had palpably dallied too long
with the demon that destroys. Our
fathers and grandfathers lived in an
age when drunkenness was as normal
as sobriety and temperance are to-day.
In those times, maudlin scenes were
common at the capitol, and they were
not considered disgraceful; but were
regarded as exceedingly funny. But
the cause of temperance has grown and
the influence of the ladies of the land
has been so potent that the future leg
islation of our country will be the
product of sober brains.
Just before the war, and during that
great militant epoch, there were gam
bling houses all along Pennsylvania
avenue from the capitol to the white
house. To-day there is not a single
game running in Washington which
statesmen patronize. Of course there
are some low dives here, as in all cities,
but none which statesmen dare to
enter. Before and during the war it
was not considered wicked or improper
for senators and representatives,
strolling along Pennsylvania avenue,
to enter public gambling houses and
engage IN games Of chance. Nobody
paid any attention TO such conduct on
the part Of public men The newspa-
pers Of to-day would quickly chronicle
the event if any member of the senate
or of the house should frequent such
places But in those days the nswspa-
pers made no mention Of the lives Of
the great men who were attending to
congressional duties but two or three
hours each day, and passing from
twelve to fifteen hours in saloons and
gambling houses.
1t is comfortable reflection that the
world is growing better; at least our
portion of it. The Christian men and
women throughout the country will DO

The Fifty first congress was the tar

gress, which has recently adjourned,
has been the target for the criticism and

men are exerting leadership in the evo-

impossible for men to write the truths

however, she set to work roofing here
and there in an apparently ain1less
manner, but really and truly that she
might divert the rooster into searching
for worms in the fresh-turned soil, so
that the coast would be clear for her to
pursue her investigations in regard to
the apple.
Suddenly happy thought seemed to
take possession of her. Rushing back
to the tree she called her pigs around
her, and by sundry grunts and squeals,
which we are as yet unprepared to
translate literally, confided her design
to them. At least Judge this to be
tho case, for Immediately they, with
one accord, united with her in giving
such succession of startling squeals
that at first the young cock was scared
within an inch of his naughty life. It
took all the courage which he possessed
TO prevent his fleeing ANONYMOUSLY,
but he stood his ground tremblingly,
Us II he expected every minute
would be the next" as the old
woman said. Meanwhile the racket
among the hogs was unabating, and,
the ROSTERS curiosity getting the bet
ter of his trepidation, he ventured little
nearer to ascertain the cause of the
connection. This was the cue for re-
pewed energy on the part of the SOW
and her dutiful family. Throwing a
deal more rigor into her voice, she
turned her eyes skyward, whereupon
the pigs threw deal more vigor into
<ha,r L.,
eyes also skyward. This proved too
much for the rooster. so he Clipped in
a lively staccato, and turned his eyes
skyward. AS he did so, the CLEAN OF
the red apple doomed up beneath the
blue. and the mystery was solved.
With preparatory Tapping of his
glossy wings and a crow that almost
failed 20 qusver the proud cock mounted
the bough and made his way confident
~ through the leaves to the coveted
apple. He clucked and gurgled COM
placently TO himself as he went. showing
in every movement with what contempt
he held the poor hogs that were still
gazing upward, and would have full
benefit of his exhibition of superiority.
When the apple was at length reached
he gave one crow, loud and long, to
herald his victory, and dived his beak
a half inch down into its mellow cheek,
when 20, the rosy red apple, with all its
lusciousness. was down in the midst Of
the squealing pigs.
The old sow looked up softly as her
teeth sunk deep into the apple. and

TOOK TO STRATEGY
Porcine Shrewdness Proves Too.
Much for Mr.. Rooster.
How Mother Of Pigs Utilized the Wings
Of . Proud Barnyard Autocrat to
Her Advantage Then Shs
Winkod the Other Eye.

B. J. Lloyd, of Franklin county,
Tenn, possesses a SOW. Toward the
end of last fall this sow, with her litter
of young pigs, was turned into the or
chard to pick up precarious livelihood
as best she could from the stray fruit
that might drop from the trees. She
managed to make pretty creditable
scuffie of it between her cleaning Of
the fallen fruit and her rather persist
ent roofing, but there came a time
when the fruit ceased to fall with any
degree of prodigality for the simple
reason that there was none left TO drop.
Now, one day, when the season was
pretty well spent and the old SOW with
her steady roofing and her unsatisfed
longing for the fruit that had passed
was in much the same condition, she
CHANGED to observe On the topmost
branch of a tree a big ripe red apple.
First she made dash at the trunk Of
the tree, hoping to shake the apple
from the limb, as she had done many
one during the season. But the tree
was an old one and her strength was
inadequate to move it. This no doubt
nonplussed her to certain extent, but
she showed no outward signs of failure.
With persistence worthy a nobler
cause, she rushed frantically against
the nearest adjoining tree, thinking, no
doubt that she might give it shake
which could be transmitted from limb
to limb to its neighbor till the apple
was finally dislodged. But it was no
go; the apple held on, though its twig
did wave little under the poor sow's
repeated exertions.
About this time a sprightly game
rooster, sporting his first plumes,
CHANGED to find his way into the or
chard, and, Of course, took possession
of it with as lordly an air as if it had
been arranged under his immediate
jurisdiction and for his especial benefit.
Meanwhile the SOW began to eve him
little obviously. She was familiar
enough with the feathered tribe to
know that they had the advantage OF
her above her own native heath, and
she had no notion of giving away to
the rooster her information concerning
the whereabouts of the apple. Instead,

glad to know that their aggregate Of
forts have been producing notable re-
suits. We cannot see, in our several
communities, that people are growing
much better. But the men who are
sent to congress are fairly representa-
tive of the people: and the fact that
their moral tone is wonderfully ele-
waited is strongly a manifestation Of the
fact that the sentiment Of the country
concerning morality and superior char
acter is potential and elevating. When
statesmen drank, fought duels, gam
bled and were publicly maudlin, they
were representative OF the people; for
if the general moral tone of the country
had been otherwise the statesmen would
not have dared to defy public opinion.
Then, as now, the public men courted
popular favor. Then drunkenness and
gam bling were not unpopular with the
people. Our statesmen are better to-
day because our people are better.
