Scheme to Put the "Great Knstern" In the
Immigrant Trade.
Houston, Sept. 21. The project of se
curing the mammoth steamship Great
Eastern to run between London, New
Orleans and Galveston to take out cotton
and other products and bring back emi
grants is in a fairway of being fully estab
lished. Gov. Kobert3 of this state has re
ceived a letter dated London, Sept. 2d,
stating that before this reaches you the
Great Eastern will be in the hands of
engineers preparatory to making her first
Texas trip. The object of the scheme is
to bring over emigrants, provided the peo
ple of the states show a disposition to aid
the undertaking and prepare to receive
emigrants and give them the necessary
assistance in securing homes and giving
'them employment. The governor has
written the company fully in regard to
the matter, and there is no reason to
doubt the ultimate success of the" scheme,
and possibly before many weeks the great
ship willbe in our waters.
The Tables Again Turned.
Portland, 'Sept. 22. Errors in tele
graphic returns amount to two tenths of
one per cent. Copies of' official returns
have been carefully footed and compared
with footings received from Augusta. An
error is found of 100 in footing up Penob
scot county, seven lacking towns are add
ed and the final result is Davis 73,040;
Plaisted, 73.S14; Plaistad's plurality, 174.
Scattering were not on the sheets reeeiv
here, but at Augusta, footing 470, which
is probably correct. This result must be
very near, although some towns are still
not official and the democratic state com
mittee, although their tables are not com
plete, agree that they will come out very
near this, although these figures are from
official returns. The official envass of
them is not made until the legislature
meets in January, and only that body
takes cognizance of errors in them. The
plurality amendment is carried by a large
majority.

Chinese Immigration.
Washington. Sept. 23. The U. S. min
ister at Peking informs the department
of state that the U.S. consul at Hongkong
reports that, durirm the quarter ending
June 13, 1SS0, 5000 emigrants left Hong
kong for the United States, of which 7
were females and 44 boys.
Daring Stage Robbery.
Auburn, Sept. 22. The Forest Hill stage
coming down this morning, was stopped
by one man about six miles from here.
He took the driver's boots and $20 from
a Chinaman and about $20 from the other
passengers. Another Chinaman had
about $200, but he denied having coin,
and as the robber did not search him, be
escaped loss. Congressman Papeand an
other man going to Forest Hill in a buggy
were stopped by the same man who took
a watch and about $300 from Mr. Page.
He made all the passengers get out the
stage and attempted to blow the iron
treasure box open, exploding two charges
on it but'did not damage it.
The Status of Lands Occupied by Indians
St. Louis, Sept. 21. Judge Krum, James
O. Broadhead and John F. Philips, a
committee to report on the status of the
government lands of Indian territory, and
particularly in the Ocklahama strips, will
report lo a citizens' meeting to-night
that the jurisdictions of this vast territory
was not acquired from the Indians, but
by purchase of the United States from
France. The Indians never had a title to
the country, and simply occupied it under
contract and permission from the United
States. The government had by various
so-called treaties assigned to Indians
throughout the country certain lands, but
has never granted them freehold of the
land in any case, nor can the government
by treaty give them the right to occupy
perpetuity. In fact, according to the law
of nations, treaties can only be made be
tween civilized people or nations. The
president cannot will or dispose of lands
by treaty: congress alone has this power.
The treaties were simply agreement to
allow the Indians to cultivate lands under
existing acts of congress. Persons may
enter pre-emption and homestead claims
on any lands not reserved by the govern
ment for other purposes. There can be
no valid objection to settlement of these
lands.

Meeting: of Railway Agents.
New York, Sept. 22. The national as-
aocif ion oi general passenger and ticket
agents resumed its session. Land grant
roads of Kansas and Nebraska expressed
themselves us very much hurt in their
business in cousequence of false reports
about droughts, failures of crops, etc., in
tae country through whicn these roads
run, and asked the association as a body
to put on sale on the 9th of November,
for one day only, round trip tickets from
eastern points to these roads, to show
that the reports are exaggerated : granted.
How They do it in Arkansas.
Little Bock, Sept. 23. Democratic
canvarsers to-day threw out 2U6 republi
can votes from Young township, which
elects all democratic county candidates
except a sheriff and judge. The pretext
is that Young county commissioners did
not hoM up their hands or kiss the bible
when sworn The probabilities are that
the repudiation amendment is adopted,
but the result is not announced because
it is feared that it will injure Hancock.
The Schwatka Expedition.
New Bedi'oki), Mass., Sept, 23. Mem
bers of the expedition headed by Lieut.
Fred Schwatka. which sailed from New
York June 1. 1873, for Ratlin's Bay aud
Kincr William'.s Land for the purpose of
seeking further data upon the fate of Sir
John Frankhu, have arrived. Though
the special object of the search, recovery
of the records of the Franklin expedition,
which according to Esquimaux testimony
were known to exist at specified point,
was not attained, the explorers have nev
ertheless obtained man' relics of the
Franklin party, Including the remains of
Lient. Irving. I hey have, moreover,
carried out to the letter instructions of
the promoter of the expedition, to "make
it a geographical success." The largest
sledge ride on record, both m regard to
time and space, has been achieved in the
face of phenomenally cold weather and
deprivation of customary food, impor
taut rivers and coast have been discov
ered, and serious errors on former charts
have been corrected. The adventures of
the. Schwatka expedition add pages of
interest to the romance of a relic explora
tion and furnish all the world is ever
likely to know of the fate of Sir John
Franklin. The conduct of Capt. Barry of
the Eathan in reference to supplies of
food intended t be deposited for the
expedition, is unaccountable and needs
explanation, as the absence of these
supplies on their return came near
proving fatal to Lieut. Schwatka's party.
The result of the expedition has shown
that it is feasible for white men to adapt
themselves to the climate and life of the
Esquimaux in presecuting journeys in
polar regions, and they are not neces
sarily restricted to any particular season
of the year for that purpose, but can
travel at any time and in the same way
which natives travel.
Chinese Labor at North Adams a Complete
Failure.
The Daily News1 North Adanis' special
says the experimet of running the Samp
son Manufacturing Co.'s shoe shop at
North Ada.ns, Mass., with Chinese labor
has proved a failure, and the last celestial
hrs departed lor a more congenial field of
labor. A short time since Mr. Sampson
was in this city. He then expressed
himsels much better satisfied with Chin
ese than Caucasian labor, as he said it
was steadier and more dependence could
be placed upon it. He does not now
give his reason for abandoning the pro
ject. A Sign of the Times.

A Wonderful Sea Mnnstrr Caught near
Victoria
Victoria, Sept. 22. The steamship Em
pire fron San Francisco arrived this
morning.
A genuine sea serpent six feet in length,
with the orthodox mane, a head shaped
like a panther and the tail whittled down
to a sharp point, was brought in by In
dians yesteru.iv, who caught it in "deep
water' in the strains. Its appearance
creates intense interest among the srv
ants, and the oldest fishermen cannot
place the monster. '1 he serpent has been
photographed and the body will be pre
served inspirits and sent to Ottawa for
classification.

Marriage of Jesse Grant and Miss Chap
man San Francisco, Sept. 22 Last evening
Jesse Ii. Grant was married to Miss Liz
zie, daughter of W. S. Chapman, at the
Palace Hotel. The affair was very quiet,
only a few friends being present.
Anecdotes of Ole Bull.
Ole Bull was a very abstemious and
careful liver. He drank no strong
liquors, and never ate to excess. His
food was simple, consisting largely of
fruit and vegetables. To this mode of
life may be attributed his general good
health. He was remarkably neat and
simple in his attire. He never wore
heels upon his shoes or boots, contend
ing that they had the effect of giving the
body an unnatural, stooping posture.
He had a great aversion to hypocrisy and
affection. Upon one occasion a visitor
laughed immoderately at one of the
violinist's witty stories, and afterward
apologized for seeming rudeness. (Jbi
said Mr. Bull, "do not mind; I like to
see any one natural. Do not be ashamed
of laughing nor crying when you feel
like it. It is strange that human nature
is prone to make an excuse for its better
impulses."
He disliked much of the German mu
sic, and "Wagner's compositions in par
ticular, although he was personally a
warm friend of the composer of "the
music of the future." He preferred Ital
ian music to all other. " I do not have
to try to like the music of Yerdi," said
he; "it comes without trying." He con
sidered "Aida"a masterpiece. He was
also fond of Gounod's "Faust." "Why,"
he remarked, "the Germans bang away
with their mechanical exactness and end
less harmonies, but they neglect the
purer, sweet melodies which reach the
hearts of the people. The majority of
the public have no time to read between
the lines. Captious critics have averred
that Ole Bull was not a classical musi
cian because he played folks' songs aud
catered to the taste of the public.
"Why," he said, "if the people pay then
money to hear me play 'Lucy Long' and
' The Arkansas Traveler,' why should I
not gratify them? I should feel that 1
had cheated them if I did not consult the
taste of my audience. Besides, I gener
ally play the light pieces for encores,
after having given them more solid selec
tions." Numberless anecdotes might be re
lated to illustrate his wonderful good
nature and hearty, sincere desire to add
to the happiness of all with whom he
came in contact. Upon one occasion a
friend had called upon him at the Tre
mont House to invite him to take a ride
in the suburbs. At about the same time
he heard a little boy of his acquaintance
who had broken his leg and was unable
to leave his bed. "I must decline your
kind invitation to ride," he replied to
his friend, and he passed the afternoon
in playing tho violin for the amusement
of thelittle invalid. He disliked rules
and creeds with a feeling ajjproaching
detestation. He created his own canons
of art, and he changed them at pleasure.
A well-known Boston conductor once
pleasantly accused Mr. Bull of never
-i n j . . .
playing tue same piece in tne same tempi.
"Of course not," was tho reply; anyone
can follow the time in the same old way;
I never feel in the same mood twice.
Win' should I always play in the same
time and with the same color? It is your
plodding nobody who is satisfied. I am
ambitious!" The conductor appreciated
tho wit, if not the logic of the re)ly.

The Home of Washington. A corres
pondent of the Now York Evening Post
writes: "While at Mount Yernon the
home of Washington the other day, I
was greatly struck with the slip-shod
condition in which the house and its con
tents are kept. The estate belongs to the
women of the United States, and I am
sure, did they but know the facts, they
would interest themselves in their prop
erty, and raise sufficient money to put
the house in thorough repair, and to have
the relics of Washington more carefully
kept than is done at present. The walls
in some of the rooms are covered with
cheap chromo-lithographs and prints,
having no claims either to artistic excel
lence or historical value; and these
should, and could, easily be replaced by
engravings possessing these qualities. I
have no definite idea of tho cost of put
ting the house in order, but I am sure
that an expenditure of $3000 would be
more than ample; and I think some of
our patriotic women should lake the
matter in hand, and have the home of
Washington restored to its original
beauty and cleanliness.
Hawaiian Chinese Troubles. There
has been a queer Cabinet crisis in the
Hawaiian Kingdom, the immediate causo
of which was the appointment of an un
popuh r Minister of Foreign Relations.
This official, one Celsus Cicsar Moreno,
who is described as "a foreign ad
venturer," and who, according to one
account, was threatened by the populace
with a coat of tar and feathers, is in fa
vor of Chinese trade and immigration.
But, for other reasons he has made him
self personally obnoxious to the people,
who seriously discussed tho dethrone
ment of King Kalakaua and the selection
of Queen Emma as their sovereign. The
entire Hawaiian army was ordered to
guard the Royal Palace, and revolution
was at one time imminent. But the
King wisely changed his mind, dismissed
his favorite foreigner, and restored order
by a single blow. His course brings
peace to tho Hawaiian Kingdom, which,
as that political fiction is chiefly sup
ported by thrifty American traders and
planters,' is good for American interests
in the Pacific.

French Historical Drama.
The manner in which the French dra
matists of the classical school Corneille,
Racine and Voltaire treated history is
well known. Outside of France, none
can read "Monammeci, or um, uj.
OYPn "AtlmliA " without being disturbed
by a feeling of ludicrousness on account
of the glaring discrepancy Detween uib
the historical reality and the artistic rep
resentation. With Yictor Hugo, hgw-
ever, and the romantic school, the his
torical drama made a great progress in
Franca. Tt. learned to use that which m
history is picturesque, and, in this re-

is a masterpiece, leaving far behind all
other attempts of the kind, even
"Wallenstfiin's Lacrer.5' bv Schiller, or
the famous introduction to Goethe's "Eg
niont." But it never learned to draw
the historical charaoter. In " Patrie
the passions delineated are those which
flourish in the Parisian salons, and
the delineation itself, whenever it be
comes strong and striking, is local
Parisian and exclusively modern.
"Garin" has the advantages and dis
advantages of the school to which it bo-
longs, and nothing beyond. What was
picturesque m the life in the loudai cas
tle in France in the begiuning of tho
thirteenth century has been picked up
and put together with great skill, and its
effect on the stage is probably considera
ble. But the delineation of passion, of
character, is stupid. In the opening
scene the lord of the castle curses his
-w-. . . . i . it i 11 :
son. .but m tlie thirteenth century mere
was not in all Christendom a father who
would undertake to pronounce a curse
or a blessing in his family. That was
the privilege of the Church, and none
but the witch or tho sorcerer dared to
encroach upon this privilege. After the
Reformation, when the priest was driven
out of the house and the family was re
modeled after the type of tho Old Testa
ment, the pronunciation of blessings or
curses became an affair of tho house
father. In tho next scene the lord mar
ries a Moorish Princess who runs
about with a Jew and makes money as
a dancing-girl. But in the thir
teenth century such a union was a sheer
impossibility. There was not in the
whole church a priest who dared to per
form such a marriage, and even if there
had been, the whole retinue, from the
vassal to the serf, would have left such a
knight and fled m terror from such a
castle as if it were a plague-stricken
spot. In this manner the plot goes on
from beginning to end; not at one single
point the passions delineated coincide
with the actual passions of the time rep
resented. . But this manner is not
Shakespeare's. Trnth to the historical
character, not only to its picturesque
appurtenances, was the great lesson
which the German dramatists drew a
century ago from Shakespeare, and by
which they created the historical drama
in Germany, and it is this same lesson
which the French -dramatists of to-day
must draw from him in order to make
the historical drama in France an art of
high order, but which Paul Delair, in
suite of tho Parisian critics, has not
drawn in his "Garin."
The Politeness of Our Forefathers.
Not long since, while turning over tho
dusty contents of a box of books labelled
"all at Gd.," my attention was drawn to a
rusty little 12mo, bound in well-worn
sheepskin. A short examination showed
it was complete, and for the small sum of
sixpence I bocame the iDossessor oi a lit-
erarv treasure which has since auoruea
me much gratification and amusement:
"The Rules of Civility; or Certain Ways
of Deportment observed in France,
amongst all Persons of Quality upon
Several Occasions. Translated out oi
French." Such is tho title of the work
which has brought up this train of ideas,
and its perusal goes far to convince me
that our ancestors were not to be envied.
Of tire instructions given for behavior at
table the following are the most curious
of those that are fit for general perusal.
"In eating, observe to let your hands
be clean; feed not with both both your
hands, nor keep your knife in your hand;
dip not your finger in the sauce, nor
lick when you have done. Wipo your
mouth and keep your spoon clean. Gnaw
not bones nor handle dogs, nor spawl
upon the floor; and if you have occasion
to sneeze or cough, take your hat,
or put your napkin before
your face. Drink not with
your mouth full nor unwiped, nor so
long till you are forced to breathe in the
glass. He must have a care his hand be
not first in the dish, unless he be desired
to help his neighbors. If you be carv'd
'tis but civil to accept what ever is of
fered, pulling off your hat still when it
is done by a superior. To give any
thing from your own plate to another to
eat of, though ho be an inferior, savors
of arrogance, much lesss an apple or a
pear that hath been bit by you before.
Have a care likewise of blowing froth
from off a cup, or any dust from roasted
apple or a toast; for the proverb saith,
"There is no wind, but there is some
rain." We are to wipe our spoon every
time we put it into the dish; some peo
ple being so delicate, they will not eat
after a man has eat with his spoon and
not wiped it. Tis rude to drink to a
ladv of your own, much more of greater
quality than yourself, with your hat on,
and to be covere'd when she is drinking
to you. When dinner is going up, to any
noblemen's table where you aro a stran
ger, or of inferior quality, 'tis civil and
good manners to be uncover'd. If it so
happens that you be alone together with
a person of quality, and the candle be to
be snuffed, you must do it with the
snuffers, not with your fingers, and that
neatly and quick, lest the person of
honor be offended with the smell." Tlie
Antiquary.
Apache Devastation.
fliftt there is not on this
continent a country possessing greater
natural resources than the State of bo
nora, Mexico. It has been celebrated
for its wonderful mineral wealth from
time immemorial, and the highest au
thorities are united in crediting it witii

originally destined, apparenuy,
herit a more than ordinary snaro ui
worldly prosperity; for it muse noc u
forgotten that, in addition to the curse
of revolution, which has blighted to such
a terrible extent the whole of Mexico,
and which even now threatens its utter
Sonora has suf-
fered from an infinity of local disorders-
and accidents, from tne many pema in
cident to the border State, from the raids
of filibusters, the bitter quarrels and
feuds of her own principal citizens, the
antagonism of races, the insubordina
tion of her industrious, but ca
pricious, Indian population; ana
last, but by no means least
from the terrible, bloodtuirsty, war
like, insatiable Apaches. Terrible, indeed,
has been the desolation wrought by these
inhuman fiends, the implacable foes of
all peaceful industry, and the arts o5

and inhuman, it is sad to say, have been
the reprisals which at occasional inter-

Before reading the terrible story which
follows, it is necessary to picture to one
self the depopulated villages, the ruined
haciendas, the deserted mines, the deso
lation aud misery created by this dreaded
h-ihfi. and to remember that the war of
civilized races against the Indians is a
war of industry and intelligence against
ji nomadic nooule who have proved them
selves, with a few rare exceptions, in-
capable of being elevated above a condi
tion of barbarism; who require and de
mand not acres, or hundreds of acres,
but .countless thousands, to sustain eacn
tribe'; that the most enlightened and
humane nolicv has hitherto wholly failed
to convert them to the arts of peace; that
the civilization of tho entire continent is
as desirable as it is inevitable; and that
the passions of the savage nature which
run riot in tho contest awake, inovita
bly, the almost equally savage passions,
of the pioneers and frontiersmen, whose
destiny it is to conquer or be conquered
by them. Calif ornian .
The Coat of a Boy.
A clergyman who has been discoursing
about boys has devoted considerable at
tention to the cost of these somewhat
necessary individuals, and he estimates
the expense of bringing a good boy, with,
ordinary advantages of city life, to the
age of fifteen at about five thousand dol
lars; these figures are about doubled by
tho time the boy is of age, 'if he goes
through college. A bad boy, arrived at
the age mentioned, costs fully as much,
even if he has not been to college, and
the computation, as the reverend gentle
man forcibly suggests, does not include
the value of the mother's tears and the
father's gray hairs. Most men who have
brought up boys will agree that the esti
mate is not too" high, and some of them
will be obsorvant enough to wonder if
there is any other investment of equal
magnitude that is made with as much,
carelessness and stupidity. A piece of
property upon which live or ten thousand
dollars must be expended would seem to
any business manto be deserving of the
most careful treatment that its owner's
intelligence can devise, but in the case
of a boy, the money is generally expend
ed as a matter of course, with little or
no definite object but to keep the irop-'
orty in existence and to save the owner
from finding it a nuisance to himself.
A farm or a horso is considered
good according to its yield
or to its promise of yield, no
matter of much painstaking treatment
may first be necessary, but a boy who
passes for best is merely he who makes
feast trouble. The most promising colt,
either for ornament or use, is the one
that is most irrepressible, but the irre
pressible boy of a family is sure to be the
least valued after ho has become too old
to be a mere play-thing, and when he is
not ruined by being allowed to manage
himself he is quite likely to be misman
aged until good for nothing. To regard a
boy in the mere light of an investment
and treat him accordingly would seem
cruelly cold and heartless, yet the
natural result of such an estimate would
be more beneficial to all concerned than
the present system is, for it would com
pel considerable personal attention by
the owner, whereas the usual plan is to
hire somebody else, sometimes a nurse,
again a teacher, to stand in the parents'
place in all matters that are not included
in lodging, food and clothes, so that the
owner may have more time to devote to
oLhcr business or to pleasure. How this
Xlan works has been demonstrated mil
lions of times to the dissatisfaction of all
concerned, yet the blundering goes on
more and more industriously as ad
vancing civilization gives men and wo
men a wider range of affairs in which to
interest themselves. Is it not about time
for such nonsense to cease and for the
boy and his sister to be treated according
to their economic importance?
The argument of a holy lile ought to
be cumulative increasing and strength
ening every day. Whatever it may
prove at the first, it ought to prove in
finitely more after years of work, trial,
temptation and battling with tlie storms.
