Europe would ring with one cry of iudgna-

English and French have been attempting to
do this very thing in China, and the Chinese
Government has only done its duty in resist
ing them. This was evident to every BODY
all over the continent of Europe from the
very first, and even the English are now be-
ginning to see the matter in the same light.


No one can have the right to force another
to trade with him, and every man may shut
his door when he pleases But they saw to
the Chinese; "Rascals you must like us;
you shall trade with us. You must receive
our ambassadors, though you know well
enough they are only spies who want to dis
cover your weak points and open the way

And thou shouldst kiss away my tears
And smile away my pain;
And whisper words of untold joy


When we shall meet again:

And live but for each other
But ah the angels ca alled thee home,

Jane Wade, a girl about % years Of
age, was sentenced to four years i'm
prisonment in the Connecticut State
Prison, by the Court IN New London
county, for stealing a horse. Her time
of imprisonment expired last October,
when she was employed bya family in
Weathersfeld to do housework. In March
last, the family finding she was accustomed
to stealing, turned her away. Frequent
ly, since then, they have missed articles
about the house, and found evidences that
some persons had been about the premises.
They finally discovered Miss Wade in the
house, and she acknowledged that she had
been there frequently and slept in the ash
hole at night. But her strangest adven-
ture was in breaking into State Prison =:
One night last week, she scaled the stone
wall that incloses the prison, by climbing
a tree. The wall is about 90 feet high.
From the yard, she crawled into the
kitchen, which is separated from the male
prisoners, and is not guarded at night,
through an outlet for the ashes, which
connects with the yard. She slept in this
ash hole for six nights, and, when found,
had six empty mush or pudding pans by
her side, which she had taken from the
kitchen when full. On Sunday night
/ last, she snored so loud in her ash bed as
to attract the attention of the matron, and
after a search was found and dragged out.
The. opinion Of an eminent lawyer has
been given that Miss Wade may be in
dicted and convicted Of burglary, she
having broken into the State Prison, in
the night season, and stolen six pans Of
meal pudding! There is not parallel
case on record.
