and women. ¡He took all the
shown htm as nn idlotio Kng-
boy earl might take attentions from
York toadies. Maxwell actually
i down upon the poor fools who
wild over him. He seemed to
bat with such friends, and able
fjrara, and money to trifle witb
•les,'! that he was safe from the
owe, and be would smoke and
ugh, and ignora the seriousness
f bis oondition, during the
st trying hours. The first
'he showed that he was seared,
' was when the Jury brought In a ver-
of guilty. He knew he was gitilty,
t he thought the jury was oomposed
of the same kind of fools as those who
neelecl before him in Jail and toadi-
ed to him. He almost faibted when
[ the verdiot was rendered, but kta attor-
neys encouraged him to hope that there
! were years of -life before him, delays,
' new trials, etc. But his time has come,
as it comes to most criminals. Justice
may in some cases bé outraged, but'it is
becoming fáshionalbe to punish the
illty, no matter what their oondition
and Maxwell will hung. Several
ther cases before courts, notably in
Chicago and New York, demonstrate
that the picture of Justice should be a
bull-dog instead of A woman, béoause
justice is as tenacious as the bull dog;
and When it gets a hold on a criminal,
It does not let up, if justice has a fair
show.. No oue believed that theX)hi-
cago boodlers Who bad money and in-
fluence could be punished, .and yet two
men who were tools of those higher
rnp in politics, have been sentenced to
the penitentiary, and the principles,
.who aro worth milliong, accumulated
by vile prácticos, and looked up to as
invulnerable, by ambitious politicians,
are shaking in the.r boots, and hu'v-
ing night sweats, and .most of them are
inquiring the price of tickets across the
ocean, where they will go for their
health., if they ure not watched. An
aged New York millionaire, who bribed
aldermen, and Who believed that
millions could save him, who . is on
trial, was put in jail ovor Siluday for
fear he would kidnap himselr, his con-
viction is doomed so sure, though he
could havo given ten million dollar*
bail. The Judge wouldn't have U. He
wanted his man. And so tilings look
very encouraging to honest people, who
have feared that orituinais with money
oonld not be punished. Let Justice
keep up the motion, and let the people
back her up, whether she be a woman
jvlth scales, or a bull dog with teeth
fostonod to criminal trousers, ami pen-
itentiaries and gallows shall be kept
busy, and those who aro unhung and
nnoonfined behind b.u-s, will become
reasonably honest, and the world will

be better.—Peck's Sun.

Journalistio Intelligence.
Miss Birdie McGinnis, one of the
feigning belles of Austin, is not a bad-
s'looking girl, but intellectually she is
subject to a slight discount.
At a social gathering sho was intro-
duced to a distinguished journalist from
:;$4h Atit&nlo.*
"Allow me to Introduce you to Mr.
Scoop, ono of the most celebrated news-
paper writers of the day," said hor
plettd. .
^"Newspaper writer!" exclaimed
iSfdie, "I didn't know tbey wrote
newspapers. All the newspapers I've
|;'f6en wero printed."— Texas Sifl ngs.
^. Deacon's Embarrassment.
People who send dispatches frequent-
rundnrstand tlwkt a small oross under
r a word designates that tlie operator is
in doubt as to that particular word, and
the only safe thing to do under such
felrcumstanccs. unless the message 'fa
an answor and you understand the cor-
rect meaning of the word. Is £o< pay a
:small adilitional charge and have the
iSmessage repeated. A story is told of a
pious Brooklyn deacot ^who is In busi-
ness not a great many miles from the
oity hall.
He was married about six months
|'and was the owner of a handsome set-
ter dog which was named "Bailey." It
disappeared ono bright morning and
!ie deacon thought it might possibly
|í,ve returned to its former home,
laving business in Boston, he decided
i go there first and on his return stop
^the residence of tho gentleman from
Mn he purchased tho animal. Im*
\e his horror on reviving a dispatch
Parker House, Boston, from his
iter, reading; "Your wife has baby;
irn soon as possible." There was a
cross under the word "baby," but
ions deacon was not accustomed
> receiving telegrams, and uahl no at*
, ention to it- In a fever of doubt and
huspiolon ho took the first train home.
Had the good man known what the
" small cross ind cated he would have
saved faimsA* mm eaental anxiety.

• The following story from Ufo, w
decidedly discounts the romance
Enoch Arden, was completely corro'
atedia the West End last ew"
Year ago, in.tbe mining town of
to-Pool, nostllng among the monnti
of the coast of Wales, George Poland
and Hary Davis were married: |ml<t
the: great rejoicings or their many
friends. All things* at first oou^ti4
to make thoir wedded life a happy one,
•ttd ai the years pWised by ohlldren
blessed the r humble home. Roland
had risen and become an engineer at
one of the mines, and Mrs. PulanCTWfl
the landlady of a country inn. Po-
land's work necessitated his abscesos
from home several nights in a week.
A domestic servant led tho husband,
after one of his departures, to doubt
his wife's fidelity. His prido being in-
jured, and, being a quick-tempered
man, he upbraided Mrs. Poland. She
In turn answered him hastily, and he
in the heat of his passion cast her off.
Bushing out of the house, he never
retted till on board a steamer bound
iorAmerioa. - ■;#§§§
Became to Pittsburg and obtained
work In ono of the coal mines near the
city. There he worked steadily and
endeavored to forget the woman of
whom he believed that she had wrong-
ed him in far-off Wales. After being
In America a few months, he reoeived
a letter from a friend in old home,
which stated that hla wife was ill, and
Would never reoovor.
In 1861 Poland met Mrs, Mary Simp-
son, a widow who kept a boarding
house st Banksville; and, being in-
formed that his wife was dead, he pro-
posed and was accepted by the widow
as her husband. They were
QUIETLY MAKUIKD,
Which was not generally known to
their friends,, and their married life
passed without serious disturbance un-
til 188.5, whon th >y were separated iu
a romantio way. í ; :
Oho summer day. two years ago, a
taveling little lady walked into tho
"Old Stone Tavern" on the Washing-
ton pike, and, with a pronounced
Welsh accent; asked, where George
Poland resided. The proprietor jok-
ingly asked her if she was his wife."
She replied with such seriousness that
the. host determined to send for Po-
land. as be was a particular friend of
his. The long-separuted couple met in
.the diniug-room of the hotel, where
the proprietor left them to tell their
stories.
Mrs. Poland then explained that aft-
er, a few ^-ears of toil and struggle
without ■ success, she determined to
come to America and find luir husband.
Drfting to Wdkesbarre, l'enu., her
sons obtained work iu the mines and
were doing well. Of Poland she heard
nothing until two years 'ago, when a
f.uuily moved from Pittsburg lo Wil-
kesbarre. and told the woman where
her bus baud was. She came on to this
city and found him married to another
woman. Ho had I.tile lo s;ty, but she
determined to leave h ui to enjoy his
soound wedded experience, and in his
company returned to Wilkesbarre.
rOLAND OA ME BACK
To this city, but did not live with pie
second wife, who soou afterward fell 11
and died, it Is said, from the result of
brooding over tho great oriuie she
thought she had committed. Poland
boarded with one of the two children
of his second wife, but later ho furnish-
a bouse of his own, and had his
daughter keep houso for him until
several woeks ago, when she left him.
Deserted by bis former friends, old
and partially blind from the result of
an accident, he, upon the ad vico of a
ffiend wrote to his Wrst wife, begged
her forgiveness for tho wrong he had
done her and pleaded With her to come
back to him. She consented, and ar-
rived iu town last Tuesday. • •• i
The old oouple (Poland being now
ovor seventy years of age, and Mrs.
Poland a few years younger) were seen
Mast ovening wending their way to a
grocery store to lay in a stock of pro-
yis.ons as happy as any young married
couple just begining life together.

inisblbg
k forward hopefully to the time
whon the Chinese will cease to be a
disturbing factor in their population
and industries. 'Under the caw of an
•xperlenood guide, acquainted with the
language and people, we made an eve-
ning flit to Chinatown,. We anterod
several Joss-housos, where were all the
paraphernalia oí heathen worship.
These places are a source of revuue
and the privilege of keeping them, It la
said, is sold to the higliost b dder.
Here are the altars, incense, tbe burn-
ing lamps, 4 ho images, .and the
worshipers, but Iu them all we sawi IJO,
evidence of reverence or of religious
feeling. Some of those temples are
decorated with elegant woods, carv-
ings, screens, bronses, images, and
hangings of goldeu em broideries. One
ace of interest we visited was a ban-
¡uet hall whioh. we were told, was the
'hiñese Delmonloo. Here dinners ara
given by the weaUhy merchants and
othen to their fr onds or distinguished
visitors. 'A banquet seernod Just to
have ended. Musicians making a hor-
rid din, singing wofoen with the most
vnmus'.cal voices, young girls and men
gambling with dominoes or other de-
vices, are in various parts of the room.
A lordly iChinátuan reclines upon a
rlohly upholsiered chair and smokes
his fragrant cigar with an evident air
of self-esteem and soK-sntisfatlon, I
one oorn'er is a luxurious ooucb, on
which reollnes two elegeutlydrossed
Chinese. On the finger of «
Í1
moi
the opium pipe,and one is in the very act
of preparing to smoke the drng which,
while it yields delicious unconsoious-
ness, saps tho very foundation of health
and moral character. We partake ol
a cup of fragrant tea aud sweetmeats,
for which wo pay a round price (the
Chinese know how to charge), and go
on our way. Two features of Chinese
life are patent to us as we walk the
streets. F.rst, the woman slavery, and
second tho gambling hells. Under the
stars and stripe* a slavery worse til an
that whioh hold the southern negroes
exists in San Franc sco.. Nor Is it un-
known to tho authorities. Women,
even girls of touderest ago* aro brought
from China, bought as slaves, held as
slavos, guarded as slaves and sold for
immoral purposos us slaves. Walking
along the streets, ono seos them look-
ing out of little grated windows, the
victims of man's lust and avarlee.
Visiting the mission of the Methodist
Ep soopal church on Suuday, we saw
at the services nineteen women and
g ris who had b6on rescued from this'
slavery, and are sheltered, educated,
and Christianized by the missionary
and his ass stunts. As we pawed
through a narrow street our guide
called attention to men standing guard.
These wero sonti'uols watching at the
doors of gambling dens, ready to glvo
warning ut the moment of danger. The
doors are iron-clad, and On inspootlng
several wo discovered the marks of the
sledge-hammer, where on previous
occassious the police had broken in. Iu
one square, on the right and on
the loft there must have been
two dozen such places, and per-
haps as many pitiful women slaves
peering ont of their little
own These things are
tho sathorltles. Thoir oponneas more
than justifies the, report that hush
monoy iá paid to the polios^ One can
not bat conclude that the Chluesu are
an undesirable population, not merely,
as tho uverage Californian will tell yoú,
bo cause ho works mora cheaply than
tho American, sends his money out of
tbe country and brings leprosy in, but,
mure than all, he is a moral loper,
corrupt and corrupting, and i no com-
munity can harbor him and. daily soe
and tolerate his vices withont conta-
gion. . ■ ■ .¿f
