THE DAILY EYti IN G TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FKIDAY OUTOHKR 7; IKO. THE CU1XESE AT JV OUT II ADAMS. THEIR TROORESS AS SHOEMAKERS THEM HABITS. A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser. writes from North Adams as follows: "It was Hot without some minor difficulties (bat the company of raw Chinese landed at Mr. Sampson's doors last June were trans formed into the force of competent shoe makers who now make the bottomers' room of his factory hum like a beehivo, every team at work, and not a white man to be seen in the ' hall. The obstacles of the want of a common language and the hostilities of the Crispins made the progress at the outset slow and halting. At first only indiffer ent instructors could be obtained, and with poor teachers the learners naturally made poor shoos, and there was the discouraging task of unlearning to be gone through. But at last exorbitant prices brought competent shoe makers to teach the new apprenticed; aui tho expedient of haDging up a perfect shoe for each team to model from brought about the desired result, in thnt tho imitative workmen avoided copying the casual errors and awk wardness of their teachers. Then the pro gress became steady; and thoBe quali fied by experience to judge, any it has been quite worthy to compare with that of any set of green hands of any nationality during the same length of time. In the whole company of seventy-live there were found three men inclined to take things easily, and to reflect with equanimity on the fact that their wages were paid by the month and not by the job. A happy thought put these men into the same team, where they could hinder nobody but each other, and where any disposition to idle over the work would be at once apparent; and the "lazy team" now does as much work as any in the room. 'With this single exception, there has been universal ambition to advance as fast as it was deemed best to have pro gress made; and the result has been oui I'letoly satisfactory. "The way in which this progress was regu lated is curious, and worth noting for the benefit of other manufacturers who may, in the course of human events, find themselves charged with the task of educating Oriental workmen. "When the room got 'fairly to going' Mr. Foremaa Ah Sing, otherwise Charlie, informed his men that they might nee how much they could do in the week. The result was recorded, and the next week they tried it again. There was an advance in the number but the slightest possible de terioration in the quality of tho shoes made. The boy b. were hurrjing too much; so the word was given to hold on, make only the number of cases already reached, and make them well. At once the desired improvement was visible, without any loss of speed. Then the system of 'stints' was resorted to, for a change. Each team was given a certain number to be done in the day, and done well, the men to have all time saved for leisure. The emulation thus produced worked the best results. Some smart teams finished their stint at three o'clock; nearly all at live, the regular hour of closing being six. li'hua the ambition of the new hands is guided; what is gained in the quantity of shoes ma le is not lost in the quality of the product; aad the progress is both swift and steady. In a solitary instance there was found a little care lessness, an inclination to get the stint done early at the cost of a little rough workman ship in the shoe; but Ah Sing's understand ing of his men and ready wit were again prompt with a remedy. The careless team was docked fifty cents or so on wages. The Chinaman's tender spot was found a weak ness not so very unlike that of the average Yankee that we can att'ord to sneer at it iud there has been no more cause for complaint in the character of the shoes completed by that team. This week there are no stints; the room is doing all it can; and the result will be a gain of ten cases on the former max imum. "Three of the Chinese have been taught the use of the difficult and intricate pegging machine. They learned readily and well, vpoiling fewer shoes in the process than any green hands who have learned the trade in tho same shop before them. And what they know they knowjnot superficially but thorough ly. They understand their machines as a Yankee would, and can oil them, put them in order, and take them to pieces if need be, as well as they work them. "The number of shoes which the smartest Chinese team can turn out in a given day is not yet equal to that which a veteran trio of shoemakers of Caucasian blood baa been able to finish in the same time. There is no ap parent reason why the same rate of work should not be reached eventually; but three months of practice is too soon to look for it. Nevertheless the shoemakers even now ac complish the same amount of work in a month which tho same number of white Crispins have done. It is the old story of the hare and the tortoise. The Chinamen work steadily along from the week's begin ning to the week's end, and, what is still more in contrast with the experience of the employers of white mechanics as they aver age in our day, the Chinamen begin promptly at the week's beginning again. The representative smart man of the Crispin lodge does his ninety pairs of shoes a day for Monday, Tuesd ly, and Wednesday; lies off to rest Thursday; works again, perhaps, on Friday; stops in the middle of the day Saturday, takes his wages, and proceed) to spend them. lie is missing on the following Monday and Tuesday per haps driving a fast horse, perhaps drinking in the saloon, perhaps visiting bis sweetheart in the next town, perhaps gone to Boston to nee the sights, possibly reading iLI-ichylus in his private room or canvassing his district ia support of Mr. Wendell Thillips at any rate absent from his bench at the shop; throwing the team to which he belongs into confusion, and materially reducing his tally and the ag gregate production of the factory. Perhaps when he returns to work in the middle of the week his hands are trembling, his eyes dimmed with Aksbyhw, his interest more fixed on Mr. Wendell Phillips than on his last, and so the shoe he throws into the heap is not equal to the smart man's usual standard. None of these things happen to Ah My. He likes his work so well that in the summer mornings he is found at his post at a quarter before C, three-quarters of an hour before the time when the working clay begins. He is glad when the day is ended, to be sure; aad jumps about and chatters as merrily as a boy let loose from school; but he never antici pates the hoar at this end of the day, uod b'u bhoes are alike on all days of the wnek. lie even ignores that great New Eogland festival of cattle show, which the Crispin or the girl in the print factory observes as faithfully as the farmer of hundreds of acres; and this week, for the first time in a life's experience, Mr. Sampson has kept his shop guiug through the days of the local fair. "It is this evenness and faithfulness of wexk, this display of qualities on which the employer oan rely in making up his pro gramme and accepting contracts for the sea ton, that makes Mr. Sampson abundantly satisfied with the experiment he haimadj so well pleased, indeed, that as he extends his business ho will bring more new apprentices from California or from China, mix them in with thoRe now at work, and so teach them more quickly and more cheaply than tho first were taught. His enterprise his cost hi in $.'50,000 more than half in money paid out, the rest in loss of time while teaching the new comers a few at a time but he now pro duces shoes of unexceptionable quality for two dollars a case less than he ever did be fore, and confidently counts on soon getting out the best shoes put in the mirket any. where for six dollars a case less than indif ferent ones formerly cost him. Headers fa miliar with "such matters can estimate for themselves whether at the end of his three years' contract his investment ia likely to prove a sagacious one." BISMARCK'S RELIGIOUS CHARACTER. BY rilll.lP 8CHAFF, D. 1). Dr. Schaff is one of tho most eminent German scholars in this country. En. The astounding events now passing iu Europe remind me of my promise to trtusUte for the iV. Y, Observer extracts from so ue interesting and characteristic letters of Count Bismarck which I collected last year in Prus sia and which give unmistakable evidence that this extraordinary man the victor of Napoleon and tho first statesman of the ago is no stranger to religious experience. Jlis master. King William, is an honest, God fearing old soldier, and every observer of hjs public conduct in this French war must have been struck with tho tone of unalTected mod esty, truthfulness, and pious recognition of the hand of God in the events of history. I am confident that Bismarck fully shares thoie feelings. I know from a number of facts which I learned from his pastor (the Kev. Mr. Southron, a most earnest evangelical preacher in Berlin,) and several of his inti mate friends, that, whatever may have been his former life, he is now a man of decided Protestant religious convictions and irre proachable private character. But lot him Bpeok for himself. (From a letter dated Berlin, Deo. 26, 1865. "My Dear A. Although I am hard pressed for time, I cannot leave unanswered an inter pellation which is addressed to me from an honest heart with an appeal to Christ s name. I sincerely regret if I give offense to believ ing Christians, but I am certain that in my position such offense! is unavoidable. In the camp of my necessary political opponents there are, no doubt, many Christians who are far ahead of me on the way of salvation, and yet, on account of what on both sides belongs to earth, I must live in 'conflict with them. I need only appeal to what you say yourself: 'Nothing of the public life on high eminence remains hidden.' Where is the man who, in such a position, does not give offense, justly or unjustly? I coucede more than this, for your utterance that nothing remains hidden is not true. Would to God that, besides what the world knows of me, I had no other sins on my soul, for which I hope forgveness only by trusting in the blood of Christ (fur die ick nur imyertraueti avf Chrtsti Blut Vergcbung hoffe). As a statesman, I am not even sufficiently bold, but rather timid in my feeling, because it is not easy in questions with which I have to wrestle to gain that clearness on which alone trust in God cau thrive. He who calls me an unscrupulous politician does me in justice: let him first try his conscience on this battle-field. If I stake my life on this cause, I do it in that confidence in God which I have nursed and strengthened in long and severe conflict, but in honest and humble prayer to God." In a letter to his wife, written from Frank fort, 1851, Bismarck confesses to a serious change of his view of tho world: "Day before yesterday I dined with at Wiesbaden, and looked, with a mixture of sadness and wisdom, upon the theatre of former folly. May it please God to fill wita His clear and strong wine that vessel in which, twenty years ago, the champagne of youth uselessly evaporated, leaving but empty dregs behind. Where and bomay and Miss be now ? How many are dead and buried, with whom I then wasted away the time in courting, drinking, gam bling (mit deucn ich damals licbclte, becherte, wurfeltc)! How many changes has my view of the world (Weltausahanung) undergone within the last fourteen years ! How much appears to me little now, what then appeared great: how much is venerable to me what I then laughed at ! How many a leaf may yet bud from our inner man and worthlessly fade away till another fourteen years have passed by, if we should live till 18(JA ! "I cannot conceive how a man who reflects, and yet ignores God, can endure life for con tempt and ennui. I do not know how I stood it formerly. If I had to live now as I did then, without God, without thee, with out children, I could see no reason why I should not lay off this life liko an unclean shirt. And yet most of my acquaintances are in this condition, and yet they live. If I ask, in individual cases, what justifies this or that man to continue to live, to labor, to worry himself, to intrigue and to act as a spy, I verily do not know. "You must not infer from this scribbling that I feel particularly gloomy; on the cou trary, I feel as if, on a beautiful September day, I looked upon the leaves as they turn yellow; healthy and cbe&iful, yet a little sad, a littlo homesick, longing after the wood, the sea, the wilderness, afcer thee and the children, all mixed with suuaet and Beethoven." The Question of Descent. At a recent meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, an English bishop cloned a sarcastic speech against the Dar winians by turning to Professor Huxley, their leading representative, and blandly asking, in trie presence ot tne large audience: ."Is the learned gentleman really willing to have it go forth to the world that he believes himself to be descended from a monkey ?" Professor Huxley rose and replied in his quiet manner: "It seems to me that the learned bishop hardly appreciated our position and duty as men of science. We are not here to inquire what we would prefer, but what is true. The progrebs of science from the beginning has tieeu a conflict with old prejudices. The ; origin of man is not a question of likes and ! diBhkes, to be settled by consulting the feel ; ings, but it is a question of evidence, to be I settled by strict scientiiia investigation. But, i as the learned bishop is onrions to know my ! state of feelings upon the subject, I have no I hesitation in saving that, were it a matter of choice with me (which clearly it is not) whe I tber I shLuld be descended from a respect j I ble nioDkey, or from a bishop of the English i Chnrt.h who can put his brains to no belter rise than to ridicule scieuce and misrepresent l its rnlti VHtois.
