when He Was Twenty-One.

FROM the Memphis Scimitar.
There is a young criminal lawyer in this
city who. on the occasion of his becoming
OF age, began the celebration of his birth
day in way that caused his household
great deal of CONSERVATION.
On the eve Of the fete, shortly after mid
night, the young mans family were sud-
denly startled from their slumbers by q
loud voice in the house calling. There's
a man in the house! There's a man in the
housew
The valiant pater familias rushed from
his room, bearing in his hands a heavy bill
let of firewood, to learn the cause of the
disturbance and to capture the intruder His
son was standing in the hall, shouting at
the top of his voice.
Where's the MANI" exclaimed the old
gentleman.

young man. This is he. At last I'm twen-
ty-one!"

snake charmer warned him to keep away,
saying II was not The Englishman
laughed and grasped the cobra in his hand.
1t bit him and he died within a few hours.
This is also the home of the python and
other great snakes of many kinds some Of
which are to be found in the water. One
twenty-five feet long and eighteen inches in
circumference was caught the other day
on the deck of a steamer lying at the
wharf. 1t had probably come in with the
cargo or had climbed up the chains from
the water. In my voyage to Singapore the
captain showed me a snake swimming in
the water some distance away from our
vessel 1t was, 1 judge, at least thirty
feet long. The captain ran for his rife, but
before he could shoot the monster had
dived under the water and we saw II no
more. FRANK q. CARPENTER.

SINGAPORE, Strait of Malacca.
This Is the land of the Malays. Singa-
pore has a large number of them and the
peninsula which here juts into the Indian
ocean forming the tail of southeastern
Asia is their home, The Siamese farther
up are almost altogether Of Malay eX-
traction and all the islands of this vast
archipelago through which I have been
travelling are more or less pure Malay. The
purest of all, however, are those on the
Strait of Malacca and about the Malay
peninsula, and this is perhaps the best
place in the world for the study of the race.
1t is just now an especially interesting
study for u.s. The Malays are the cousins
of our Filipinos, and their character today
is not far different from that of the Taga-
los and the Visayans.
The Drones of South Asia.
1t may be that the Filipinos have become
more Industrious by their change of envi-
ronment, but if not they will never be a
great working race. The Malays are the
drones of this part of the world. They
originally came from Sumatra and owned
Singapore when the English took possession
of the island. AS a result they should be
the rlCAeSt OF tNe nations, whereas tney are
the poorest. The profits of the change Of
ownership have gone to the Chinese and
East Indians and the Malays seem con-
tent that they should hold them.
I had a talk with the Sultan of Johore
the Malay ruler of the state on the main
land opposite Singapore. He has a rich
country, which raises vast quantities of
pepper and coffee. and which produces gold,
silver and tin. He tells me that he has to
get Chinese coolies to work his plantations
and that his own people will not labor.
The hotel where 1 am staying in Singapore
recently lost two of its Chinese walters.
Among the applicants for their places were
two young Malays. They offered to do the
work for the same as the Chinese, but said
they could not come earlier than 8 o'clock
in the morning that they should need from
II until 1 for their MONDAY sleep and
would want to close the days work at
about Z o'clock in the evening. They were
of course dismissed without further qucs-
tion.
Look Like FilipinOs.
The Malays of this part Of the world look
much like our Filipinos. They are perhaps
little taller, but they have the same mu-
latto complexion and the same straight
figures and independent walk. Their hands
and feet are small. The most of them look
well-bred; they are very proud and naughty

and are quick to resent an injury. They
remember an insult long time and
told in Manila that it was impossible to
trust a Filipino. The English merchants
said that they often made good servants,
but that they required more watching than
a mule. One man told me of a number of
instances where Filipino bookkeepers and
other clerks had been scrapulously honest
for ten years and upward, and then alb
seconded with the property of their masters.
The same is said TO be the character of the
Malays of the strait.
Our Mohammedans are now confined to

as soon as they are able to crawl. The
betel habit is even worse. 1t consists of
chewing the nut of the Areca palm mixed
with tobacco and lime. This turns the
teeth black, swells the tongue, puffs out
the lips and makes them crack AS the
people chew they spit and their expectora-
tlons are the color of blood. If you have
ever had tooth pulled and tried to cleanse
your mouth afterward you have gone
through some of the experiences of betel
chewing as far as saliva Is concerned.

Those who seeded timothy on VIII eat

ing grass for this seasons pasture.
The papers say that Mayor Hayes is
threatening dire vengeance upon the
Democratic party if there is not a
change in the city central commit
tee.
DIR. Joseph A. Ross and Miss Leila
Benson Welsh were married in St.
Paul's church, Trappe, Wednesday
evening.
The engagement of Rev. E. NJ.
Hardcastle, Jr., NJ. D., formerly of
Easton, to Miss Helen S. Van Pelt, of
Philadelphia, is announced.
Jos. H. Ching, the st. Mary county
lawyer, who was one of the leaders in
the census conspiracy in that county
was sentenced to two years imprison-
ment and pay a fine of $1,000.
Farmers are very busy now with
their corn and help is very scarce too,
harvest is expected to commence on
the Goth; the weather has COTTON very
warm the past few days, the ther-
monter marking as high as 80 in
the shade.
The amount of business done at the
Easton postoffice the past year was
! So, 1876, the highest the office has ever
attained. This insures the postmaster
a salary of $4,000. There is little or
no doubt that this year the receipts
will exceed $4,000.
The fruit crop promises to be good.
A fair quantity of summer and fall ap-
pies and with the winter varieties q
full crop. Cherries were hurt by con-
tinued cloudy weather during May,
and will be only about one half the
crop promised earlier in the season.
There is not that harmony of co-opera
ton in the democratic party through
out the State as democrats desire there
should be. The friends of Mayor
Hayes and the supporters of the State
management in Baltimore city are a
loggerheads, and, just at this time,
reconciliation of the factions SEEM
very remote. The cause of the trou
able is alleged to be broken pledges.
For some time past the condition
of farmers all over the country ha

DELAWARE RIVER CHANNEL.
An Impressive Argument in Favor of
Deepening the Channel.

An impressive argument in favor of
deepening the channel of the Delaware
river was made by the owners of the
Steamer Noordland, of the American
Line, when upon sailing last Saturday,
she left on the Philadelphia wharf 1000
tons of freight which she had room for
but which she could not safely carry over
the Delaware shoals. Vessels that
cannot be fully loaded at our wharves
because of the shallow channel cannot
be profitable sailed from Philadelphia.
They are driven elsewhere, the busi-
ness of the city is decreased and the
interests of merchants and manufac-
turers desirous of availing themselves
of natural facilities of transportation
are disastrously effected.
The attention of the members of the
legislature is respectfully directed to
to the Noordland incident. 1t illus
trates a difficulty and hazard of
every day experience.
