Tho great Influx of "Coleatlala" mnynltto ,lo called a plaguo it gre.tt moral plague. I hco by tho papon that Jo rtcph Cook, of Boston, tlio great lecturer and preacher, bceins to think that thin Is tho way God has taken to Christian l.'.o that great nation. Henry AVurd .Xlcocher also thinks that there is great injustice In passing tliln bill; that It Is thwarting tho grcut work of dlssoml ting our religion among thorn, I sup poso that I may oxprosa my opinion on tho matter in tho Homo Circle. I am glad, In u modified way, that the bill has passed. There is no doubt that tho presence of these foreigners crowds out and cheapens white labor, yot I know our folks would not have been nblu to have much of our farm grubbed and put into crops, if It had not been for this cheap labor. Wo got just uhout tho money buck that wo paid tho Chinamen, In tho tlrJt year's crop, while, if we had hired whito labor, It would have cot fifty dollurs an nifre, and thon I should liavo had to rook for and wait on the men while thoy wero at work. Tlio Chinamen cloared the land for ubout twelvo dollar an ucro, and I was put to no troublo wlmtover grout Item for us pojr women, I can assure you. Then wo tjold them some fat hogs for u bg prico, also omo flour and chickens. It seems to mo that they could not have saved much mouoy out of the price to send back to China, If the wear and tear of clothes and tools wero aUo to be taken into considera tion. Many compluln that our boy cannot get work on account of there being so many Chinamen in the coun try! which I daro eay Is partly thocaso, yet I think theso trades unions do moro harm In this matter than tho Chinese do, for It is nowadays almost impossible to got n boy In to learn any trade. It heeras us 'f thoio who are proOelent In tho mechanical nrtu wero afraid of filling up tho ranks and thus cheapen skilled labor. Tho Chinese, -rrw,'iwMnr-trjiL , ; as a general thing, only do tho work that calls for mere physical strength to accomplish, or work in tho kitchen, which last employment, I nm afire, no white man wishes to eontond for. They nro'howcrsor wood and drawn ors of water." T liko to flay theso few Word-i, for I lllco to boo both sides of a question. Thoy certainly do help ub poor women in housowork, and washing nnd irou ing those ovorlasting ehlrt-a that re quire so much strength to givo a good polish to, doing it all so cheaply us to mako it posslblo for every woman to bo rellovcd of this greatest burden of housekeeping. There is very tittle uso to think of Christianizing thom. Thoy care to learn tho Biblo nnd to read only that it holps them to make moro money. They will never, as n people, to any oxtont, leavo their own Joss. I am willing to think that thoro is plenty of thom now in tho country for nil practi cal purposes, nnd um glad tho hill has pasecd. M. C. Instinct In Itlrils. Uy Instinct, I mean "u propensity prior to pxperlouco nnd independent of instruction." It is found in every department of the uulmal kingdom, but least of all In tho human species. Human ro.isun is presumed to super sedo its necessity. Hut it 1.4 humiliat ing to know that instinct is u moro un erring guldn in the nniuinl thnu reason in man. Hence man often degrades himself beknv tho brute, by indulgonco in narcotic polsonu which tho nnlmal cannot bo induced to touch. Tlio in stinct of birds Inclines thom to build their nesto, brood upon their oggn, and feed and protect thoir young. Some birds protect thoir nests with such ex quisite skill that they sot tho art of mnn ntdoflanco. And it is worthy of special notico that ovcry bird of tho samo bpccles build n nest In tho siwno form and usually of tho samo sort of mntorlnls. Tho robin, wren, nnd quail, for lustunco, nlwnys build their nests so exactly liko thoir kind that no dif ference can bo scon botwoou thom. No nuiUer if'tliq bird has migrated from jt'diatunt .country, or has lived a solitary life, his nest is liko others of tho samo species, oven to tho. laying of tho lust straw; nnd the location of that nest is always similar. Tho robin al ways builds upon u tree, tho quail upon tho ground, tho woodpecker, in a hole. This nest Is 111 way b prepared be foro tho bird lays her eggs. Instinct has glvou this nnlmal fore sight, skill, and, iwiselom. Hence, ho providoH for tho future, oxecutjs his plans, and directs nl his movements to tho attainment of a doflnltd end. Af- tor tho oggs'are deposited In (lis nest, this salntf nflopeholty1 induces tho bird to brood iipoir'thom' until they uro hatched. How'doca sho know that tho gorm of tho future bird Is deposited in tho egg? Who has taught her that tho warmthfrom-tho' body-will develop and bring to lifp-thnt'gorni? Neither experience, instruction, nor reason can have anything to do with this Htrango work of tho bird, yet all thcuo com bined could not. hecuro the same re sults with'puch undovlatlng certainty. And, when tho brood uro hutched, In stinct manifests Itself in tho affection of tho mother for her young. How sho caresses them with hor tender notes; lulls ami quiets them with her gentle voice; places food In their moiitn; cherishes and keeps them warm; teaches them to gather Lfood for themselves; pushes them oil the limb, that they may learn to fly. In a word, this mother bird performs u part of to many nurses employed to help such young and shiftless creatures. Hero is it remarkable fact touching tho af fection and care of this mother for tho young. Just no long as tho young bird needs the mother's cure, (his af fection is cherished and exercised, but Just as soon us ho can shift for himself, this atfectlon ceases. Now tho mother knows no more of her own oflnprltig than of any other birds of the same Hock. Hero observe tho self-sacriflco of Instinct. Count tho cost to tho bird of hatching and fearing her young. Hho was formed for liberty, yet she volunturlly submits to confinement, and at tho very reason when all nature invites her abroad. Sho remains upon hor not without food or recreation until sho Is wastod to skin and bone. Then mark tho suuacity of tho bird in escaping danger. Tho hen knows tho hawk as tin enemy, oven whllo sailing iu mid air, and warns hor chickens of their ilangor. fcJho knows tho harm less dove, and expresses no fear at her approach. Tho quail uud partridge leijjn lameness to attract attention whllo their young are escaping from danger. Tho night-hawk seeks a place un the ground as near tho color of her- gulf as possible, to escapo observation. Endless Illustrations might bo adduced to show tho wonders of Instinct, he- ana Farmer Have a clean kitchen, a neat wife in It, a clean cupboard, a clean dairy, and a cle.tr conscience.

Lewis, nearly' 00 years old, was found frozen to 'death last night in tho public road iu Albemarlo county. Ho was farming In a small way In tho country, and it is supposed that ho had gono out to cutsomo wood. Capt. Lewis had led an ovontful life, and was famous as tho last survivor of tho Lowls and Clarko expedition to ex plore tho Missouri rlvor. Morrlwother Lowls, tho oldest eon of Mrs. Marks, of Locust Hill, by her former marrltigo with Col. Wm. Lowls or tho Itovolu tlonary nrmy, was prlvato Becrotury to Prccldont JcfTerHon shortly after tho purchase of tho Louisiana territory, nnd was selected to oxploro that purchase. Ho had permission from tho President of selecting his aid nnd companion, and ho choso Lieut. Clarko of tho regular army. Tho company was organized with about thirty prlvato soldiers nnd commanded by Captains Lowls and Clarke. Capt. Lewis also took along ono of his slaves, u youth of-.lO, named Tom. Tom was remnrknbly black, and nelthor comely in person nor nttrnctlvo in manner. Tom was Captain Lewis' favorito Iwdy servant, and ttuck by his mastor to tho last. Captul i Lowls often told how Tom had saved his lifo after the expedition had crossed tho Rocky Mountains and was about to descend tho Columbia river. Lewis was in the wilderness with no companion savo Tom, who had been christened by the soldiers " Captain Tom Lewis," which uamo stuck to him to tho day of his death. Tho two wero attacked by thrco Indiana from hostilo tnbos then in that country, dipt. Lowls was seriously wounded iu tho thigh. Ho eonl tho only hall in his rlflo through tlio head of ono of his assailants. Tho other two rushed on him mid would havo slain him had not Tom hurled one Insonslblo to tho ground, and with tho butt end ef tlio gun of his prostrnto mastor brained tho other. Ho was herculean In strength, Ho went through all tho trials nnd hardships of that groat expe dition without rflinchlng. Tho Lowls and Clarko expedition terminated in 1800. Capt. Lewis camo to his mothor'a home, near Joy Depot, In Albemarlo county, and wont thence to St. Louis, tho capital of Missouri Territory, of which ho was thon Governor. On his roturn ho stopped at a llttlo Inn on tho roadsldo somowh'erojn Tennessee. In tho rnbrnliig he was found' dead in his room,' with' his throat" cut,' whoihor by another lor somd uiiaccountabto pur pose, or by himself, romalns a mystery to this day. Tom was his body-sorvant then, and know moro nbout this mys tery than any one oho, but lio always shook his head when asked, "and said, "This Is a matter tho less talked about tho hotter." On tho death or his old master, Tom rcturnod to Albemarlo county, nnd wl(h savings bonght a small farm, which he occupied on the day of his death. It Is supposed that from fonblenoftS and exhaustion ho foil In the road, uud, not being ablo to rise, was frozen to death. His death cuds tho list of survivors of that historic expedition. "Hoy Wnntfd." A tracloiiiian once itdverthctl in tho morning imperii for u boy to work In tho shop, run errand, and mako him jii'tf gouerully useful. Iu n few hours tho Miop wiw thronged with boyaof nil iige, hWxh, hortu, and condltlond, all wantlt.g to find u Hltuation. Tho Mhopkeoper wanted only one boy, but how to get tho right ouo was a great dlfllculty. He thought ho mubt dud (tome plan to lc&on tho number of applicant, and give him u better op. portunlty of belectlng a good one. So ho went them nil nutty, and thought tho mutter over a llttlo. Tho next morn ing tho ptiper.i contained the following udvortKeuiLnt: " Wanted u loy who obey hl.t mo ther." Now, then, thought tho trademnan, I hIiiiII w-o noon who will apply. Ho ulso put u bill in his bhow window with theHO wordd on It. And how how many do euppo&o did come? Tho story Is that there were only two of all tho numerous lxyj (.coking employ ment in that large city who felt that thoy could honestly como and ay, " I oboy rny mother.' Tho crowd of lad was indeed quick ly thinned out most eirectuully, and tho tradesman hud not much troublo in .selocting a boy. Such boya iw thoso boy. that obey their mothere aro In great demand.

As soon'os thoy got down to the breakfast tablo, whoro thoro was a light, each saw that tho other's bond resembled n confused checker board. After it had finally dawned upon them what tho difficulty was, and thoy had screamed as much as tho occasion Beomcd to call for, thoy retired without any special premeditation.
