Under the above caption The Mad

the following, which will be of in
terest to the old Watertown friends
of Mr.. Goodnow:
POSTMASTER Henry Goodnow and
Station Agent Stevens, of the Illinois
Central road at Belleville, caused an
excitement in the little village on the
county line yesterday that dwarfed
and is still overshadowing the Chinese
war and the assassination of Kino
Humbert. Mr. Goodnow met Mr..
Stevens on the street, before a hall
dozen business men, and accused him
of forging postoffice letter box re-
ceipt. Mr.. Stevens entered a general
denial and Mr.. Goodnow thereupon
offered to bet him 800 that forg-
cry had been committed. Mr.. Ste.
vens got his money and met Mr.. Good
now at Manson's store. but after Mr..
Goodnow had placed bis 800 in Mr..
MansOns hands Mr.. Stevens refused tC
make the bet. The village is divided
into Goodnow and Stevens factions
and the flying sparks from the rival

unnecessary expense"

TRADE OF TIENTSIN.
1t Is One of the Most Important Com
merctal Cities of the Chinese
Coast.

The bund, or water front, gives one
some adequate idea of the commercial
Importance of Tientsin. The decks
of Liverpool or New York, although
many times greater in extent, are not
more crowded and busy. Here the
lighters, anchored in the river, Just
across the way from the great ware
houses, are loaded with cargo to be
sent out or which has just been re-
ceived from the ships at Taku. There
are mountains Of bales done up in
mating and bound securely with iron
for their protection in the long Jour
ney to the uttermost quarters of the
globe; there are boxes and casks of
Chinese make marked London or
Hamburg, and In the midst of all this
merchandise throngs of half-naked
coolies swarm like insects, insects fur
nished with lusty and never-silent
voices. There are tons of wool from
Mongolia, camels' hair, skins, char
coal, and soda from Siberia, mats and
grain. One now and then has whiffs
of musty perfume, the breath of ORR
entail bazars, spice and sandalwood.
1t is one of the busiest spots in the
world and can furnish a succinct OBJ
ject lesson to one at all interested in
the problem of our commercial rela-
tions with the far east.
