When John and I first began house keeping we were doubtful whether to live in apartments or take a house and let them. We finally decided upon the latter ; for as .John remarked, lodging housekeepers were such pilferers that one never knew when one's expenses ended ; like a lawyer's bill, there were so many items. We began to fancy we had chose❑ ill, however, when the little embossed card hung for three weeks in the little sitting room window without getting one applica tion, save from an old lady in the neigh borhood, who, I am certain came only out of curiosity. But at the end of that period an elder ly gentleman, in delicate health, called to look at them with his neice and decided to rent three rooms at once. I was very glad for they appeared to be quiet people, and meeting John with a hearty kiss that evening I told him we were in luck at last. "I am pleased to hear it, my girl," an swered John. "Only take my advice ; "don't be on more friendly terms with them than need be. Keep to your place. All persons have their little faults and pe culiarities, and when these become nntag onistic one house cannot hold both parties. The warmest friendship with lodgers gen erally turns to the bitterest dislike. Mrs. Jones, presuming upon Mrs. Brown's good nature, borrows her electro teapot. She makes a dent in the lid and thus strikes the first nail into the coffin of their friend ship." I stopped John's mouth with a muffin— a failing of his—but promised to do as he recommended. That, however, was not so easy. Mr. Fortesque's niece—Miss Kathleen Mil brooke—was such a quiet, sweet, amiable girl, and seemed so alone, that I was irre sistibly drawn to her, and, when we met, always had a little conversation, which, I felt sure, gave her considerable pleas ure. Indeed, her life was terribly monoto nous. No one visited them, and Mr. Fort esquc, a confirmed invalid and a hard, austere man,was irritable from disposition as well as delicate health, and, I fear, led his poor niece so wearying an existence that, I imagine, when she could get away for a chat with me she fund it a wonder ful relief. Well, they had been with us nearly a fortnight, when late one evening, a gen tleman called to see the room we had on the second floor back, and which he had heard of at the stationer's. He was very good looking, tall, with a pale face and heavy dark beard and moustache. It's very foolish, I know, but I have always been mistrustful of dark beards and moustaches. Dear John's face is as smooth as an egg. But the stranger spoke openly and fairly enough ; gave me reference to his last landlady and to the firm where he was employed, while, to clinch the mat ter, he put down the first two weeks' rent in advance, as he wished to come in that night. I felt I ought not to have left him, but I was yet nervous in the part of landlady, and hadn't the courage to refuse. And when, in about an hour, he returned, carrying his own portmanteau, and I, hav ing lighted him to his room, came back to my own room, I could not help speculating a little tremulously upon what John, who had been detained in the city, would think. John thought I had done a very foolish thing, and so terrified me out of my wits by saying our second-floor lodger was no doubt a burglar, who, when we were in bed, would break open all the cupboards and drawers with the skeleton keys and "Jemmy" (yes that was what John called it), which he bad concealed in his port manteau, that I couldn't get a wink of sleep through the night. I found everything secure, however, the next morning, and our second-floor lodger quietly waiting for his breakfast. He took it at half-past seven, leaving home at eight, and seldom returning until nearly the same hour in the evening, when he rarely went out again, doing this so regu lar that John began to leave off jetting and terrifying meabout "my burglar," and once, happening to meet him on the door step, he asked Mr. Airlie in to have a ci gar and a glass of ale. Our lodger accepted the invitation, and sat and talked for over an hour,. du ring which be saw John was trying to learn something about him; but ineffect ually. -My dear," T said, smiling, when we were alone. "I suspect you know now about as much about our burglar as I do." "Near about the same," he answered "lie's as close as the two shells of a wal nut. But I know this—" "That he is exceedingly good looking," I broke in. "Good-looking ! Bah ! That is all you women think of." "Exactly, or perhaps I shouldn't have married you, John." That made him laugh, and, getting up, he gave me a kiss for my compliment. "No," he went on, resuming his seat. "What I meant to say was that he has something upon his mind. Though he can't be more than twenty-seven at the most, he hasn't a bit of spirit, and talks with all the air of a preoccupied man, who is ever brooding over some trouble. Per haps," said John, extending his slippered feet to the fire, "he has robbed or is about to rob his employers." "John !" I cried, "you horrid monster Hoiv can you say such dreadful things ? It's only out of spite, because 'my bur glar' has turned out the very pattern of lodgers." I stopped, checked by a single tap at the door. It was Miss Kathleen Mil brooke. Her uncle was asleep, and she had made an excuse to come down for a chat, I know, poor child; so, as she was a favorite of John's, I asked her in. m (6. When she again went up stairs, after a pause, John said : "I say, Meg, suppose Mr. Airlie and that young girl should fall in love ?" "Nonsense, John ! Mr. Fortesque would never hear of it." "Why not 7" "Because I am certain, from what I have caught here and there, that he is much richer than he lets be seen. So it is scarcely likely he would permit his niece, who is his heiress, to marry a man who has probably robbed his employers." "You have me there, Meg; so we had better have supper." What subjeet is more prolific of ideas to a woman than marriage 7 John had put a thought into my head, which, though small as a pin's head at first, soon grew to large dimensions. Whenever I saw Mr. HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY .21, 1875. Airlie I thought of Miss Milbrooke, and whenever I. saw her I thought of him, until, in my mind, at least, they were united. And I began to hope that what John had "supposed" might be possible, ibr the more I saw of the two the more I liked them. They appeared more in need of happiness, I reflected. One might bring it to the other. But how could it ever be brought about ? Love at first sight is possible. But love at no sight at all is assuredly not; and owing to his early departure and late return, Mr. Airlie and Miss Milbrooke never met upon the stairs. "Ask them both down to tea," suggest ed John, as we sat in our cozy parlor, I at work and he doing some writing. "Mr. Fortesque would not let her come," I said. "Ask Airlie alone, then, and make an excuse to get her down afterward. At any rate it will be a relief to him, seated moping up in that little room every even ing, with not a friend with whom to ex change a word." "That might do," I pondered, pressing the tip of my needle thoughtfully to my lips; then gave such a start that I pricked myself', as I exclaimed : 'Good gracious'. John, what is that ?" "liow can I tell, Meg ?" he answered, rising quickly. "It is Mr. Forte:.;que's voice." "I-Ie is quarrelling," I exclaimed in alarm, as I hurried after John to the door. The words which made me stare were : "You unmitigated scoundrel'." Opening the door John was about to hasten out; but, abruptly drawing back, motioned me to silence. Then, mute as mice, we listened. Remember, we were lodging-house keepers. "As heaven is my witness," replied the clear, firm tones of Mr. Airlie, "I never dreamed you were under this roof; or, as I stand here, I would never have placed,,a foot in it." "You expect me to believe that ?" "You must, seeing I could gain nothing by such proximity to you." "Nothing !—nothing ! You sneaking hound ! Do you think I am blind ?" cried the old man ; and we heard the stick with which he walked strike sharply on the floor. "Not gain Kathleen, I suppose ? How do I know you would not persuade her to wed you on the sly and thus rob me of my money ? How do I know that you have not done S 3 ? You are both ca pable of the trick." "Beware, sir !" ejaculated our lodger, his voice all of a quiver. "Call me what you please—all terms are alike to me, com ing from such a father's lips—but, by Heaven ! you shall not malign that pure, noble girl, who has sacrificed herself to you. When you drove me—your son— from your doors, I offered to share my home with her, knowing the miserable life to which I left her, but she sacrificed love to gratitude ; and, because you had brought her up, poor orphan ! from her cradle, bowed her gentle head to your cruel will, and remained under your ty rannical rule. You have used hard words to me, sir, and hard words to her whose memory is dearer to me than life ; but I have managed to keep .my hands off you. But take care ! there are bounds to every man's forbearance. Do not speak ill of Kathleen." "Dare you threaten me ?" shrieked the old man. "True son of a shameless moth er." "Oh ! Heaven ! have a care !" and the sound of Mr. Airlie's voice showed the stupendous self-control he was exerting. "You drove my mother from your roof as you drove me." -Your mother left it of her own accord ; she ran away, the-" The word heuttered shall not be writ ten. It was followed by aloud, fierce cry, and a sound which told Mr. _girlie had flown at the speaker. There was the noise of a struggle, the ~a ping cries of the ell man, blended with his niece's screams for assistance. "Help! help!" she shrieked. "Oh, Richard—Richard, let go. Reflect ! lie is your father ;he is old—he is ill ! You will kill him !" We had rushed up stairs, but before we reached the landing those pleading words of his cousin had calmed the just ire of the man, and his passion wai again subdued. We found Mr. Fortesque leaning against the drawing-room door, panting for breath, and half supported by Kathleen Milbrooke, whose tearful eyes were turned with com passion upon Mr. Airlie, who stood apart, his arms folded, his head drooped upon his chest. "Would you kill me ?" gasped the old man as we arrived. "No," was the an. - 4wer, "I would have you live that heaven may soften your heart by a slower approach of death, so that you may on your knees beg my dear mother's forgiveness for the ill you have done her in word and deed. She may pardon you; as yet I cannot." At this Mr. Fortesque . s fury once more broke forth ; but his niece making John an imploring sign they managed to bear him back into the room, swearing terribly against his son, and vowing that he would disinherit his niece if she ever exchanged words with him again. _ _ _ She did, however, for when the old man lay exhausted and insensible from his fury she left us in charge and slipped out to her cousin, and I caught these words through the closing door. "My own darling, you are too good for me to blame though lam the sufferer.— Know I will ever love and li7atch over you until my death. 7 I expected after this that Mr. Airlie would leave, and that night. He told me his father was ry rich, but almost a mad-man from a selfish, jealous temper; that he bad so cruelly treated his wife that she had been compelled to leave him when he had cast the most shameful accusations upon her, even after her death, which ac cusations, repeated to his son, had driven him away also. His father; Mr. Airlie added, possessed a large estate in Devonshire, and why he lived in apartments he did not know, un less it was an idea of hiding Miss Mil brooke's whereabouts from him, her cous in, as he was aware of the strong affection existing between them. We were sorry to lose Mr. Airlie, and I could not help promising; him that he should be well informed of all that took place re specting Kathleen. This, however, I was not able long to do, for the next morning Mr. Fortesque gave me notice of his inten tion to leave directly when he could arise from the bed upon which his unnatural passion had thrown him. But that night the climax came. It was about two in the morning, when I was awakened by a terrible smell of fire. Arousing John, we went into the passage to find it full of smoke. '•Merciful beavens!"l cried, "the house is on fire :" it was so. We thought of our lodgers and strove to ascend to them, but were driven back by volumes of dark smoke rushing down, through which the red glare of flame was visible. The fire was in Mr. Fortesque's rooms. `'Oh, poor Miss Kathleen !" I shrieked. "Help ! help !" I threw the street door open, and filled the place with cries for assistance. I was soon jained in the appeal by Mr. Fortesque and his niece from the upper window. They had evidently tried the stairs and fhund it impossible to descend. John had just ran off to the engine sta tion, when, from the opposite direction, T perceived a man coining toward me. I recognized him at once. "011, Mr. Airlie, thank heavun it is you!" I ejaculated. .• "Good Ifeaven ! what is the matter ?" he asked. I began to tell hint, but the form of Kathl( ilbrooke at the window related it quicker than word'. In a second her cousin had (haled into the burning house. I ibllowed, but already he had vanished up the stairs. One, two minutes, and, blackened, burnt, he was back with Kathleen 31ilbrooke. "Oh, dear Richard :" she cried, "my uncle." "Do not fear, I will save him, if possi ble, darling," he answered, again disap pearing amid the smoke. Three, four, five minutes it seemed now before he descendeJ, with the old man wrapped in the coverlet, and clinging wildly around his son's neck. We bore him into the open air, for he Fe3lned suffocated and paralyzed with ter ror. Airlic rested him on his knee; but Mr. Fortesque would not unclasp his arms from him. llis eyes were closed. The crowd gathered. I bade them keep back. The fire.engine rattled up, but I could not leave that group. Abruptly Mr. Fortesquc looked up, and his eyes rested upon the blackened features of Mr. Airlie. llestarted violently, then exclaimed "Richard ! was it ion, then, who saved "I was so fortunate," he answered qui "You are in no dancter, now, sir." There was a pause. The old man never removed his gaze. Then I saw a great change come o'er his features. "Richard," he said in low voice, "can you forgive ?" "Yes, father; but rather ask it of her," and he pointed upward. "I do—l have, when in yonder awful room. Mary, pardon !" he murmured, lifting his eyes. Afterward he added, anxiously : "My will—my will ! It is there—burnt ! Thank Heaven for that." lle made an effort to turn toward the burning house, and in the effort fell back on his son's shoulder dead. * * * * * I have no more to say. The will being burnt, of course Richard Fortesque alias Airlie, succeeded to his father's property and also married his cousin Miss Milbrook. They now reside in Devonshire, and when we pay a visit there—which we do frequently—we always are sure of a hear ty welcome from the family of our "Second Floor Lodger. 7 for ill ill ion.

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT TILE CHINESE. In a previous letter I gave my impres sions of the Chinese in San Francisco. I know more about them now than I did then, for this morning I went down to the wharf where lay the monstrous steamer, the "City of Tokio," and saw a thousand of them, more or less, crawl out of the bowels of that mighty leviathan, and plant their feet for the first time on Freedom's soil. They were the genuine article, and a look at them was entertaining, as well as instructive. They are allowed to come off the ship in squads of twenty, each with his or her baggage, and are hospitably re cieved by the custom-house officer of Un cle Sam, who shows them more attention than they ever get again. He first com pels them to open their baggage, which he examines with a rapidity that is miracu lous. He tosses out their clothing, hold ing up each article to the light to see that nothing dutiable is hi Iden in its folds. He opens their empty and half-empty cans of provision to the same end, and after tossing their traps about in a manner that makes them howl with anguish, lie sub jeets their person to an examination of the most searching nature. He peals off dies shirts, takes off their seal fs, examines their long queues; in short he goes through them. This is to detect smuggling. For be it known that the Chinese are the most expert hiders. Many an innocent-looking Ki Wo has brought through enough opium on his person, or concealed in his baggage, to not only defray his expenses, but leave him enough to get back upon. It' he is not an opium sharp he may have silks, and other goods that are light and easily concealed, the duty on which, iflie escapes, would make him decently rich. I saw one stripped who had silk thread wrapped about his body, the duty on which was S4SO. Another one had the staff of a Chinese umbrella hollowed so as to hold precious stones and opium euough to set him up for life in his native village. But the custom house officers are very smart, and from long experience arc up to the most of their little games. The most of them come to grief. After they are examined, the officer, if he finds no dutiable goods about them, puts a chalk mark on tlteir baggage and another on their backs and they are free to depart. The employment agents are waiting for them. They are loaded up in express wagons and taken to various lodging-rouses, where they stay till work is found them. They were all at work the next day. So far I have spoken only of the men, but there remains to he considered the WOMEN. Outside the ropes that keep the crowd away from the emigrants stood a dozen hard-faced Chinese women waiting patient ly. What were they waiting for ? Why the female emigrants. As each one pass• ed the ordeal of the customs officers she was siezed by these waiting women, a few words passed, a document in Chinese was exhibited, and the would lc: carried off. Every one of the women on that ship had been bought in China by the kcerrs of the Chinese bagnios, and were consign ed to them like so many pieces of mer chandise. The harridans here contriet with their agents in China, who, for so much in hand paid. buy girls anti ship them. When they arrive they are taken to the dens on Dupont. -Jackson, and Pa cific streets: and kept there in abject slav ory till they have earned their price and pas sage and made a certain profit for the keep er when, if they arc yet alive, they are free. There were forty-eight or these unfortu nates on the "City of Tokio." Every Chinese woman WHO IS SEEN ON TUE. MEET. is a prostitute. The aristocratic Chinese. the merchants and manufacturers. hate their wives with them, but no on: ever sees them. They are kept I.:11.4911y eluded from the gaze of all mankind. Th.. Orientals who do not lwlieve that woincn have souls. and they keep their jast as they would any other luxury. Amin, , them wives ar bought and s dd. and s•teh trifles as love, affection. or rc , pect even, never bother them. The common man buys a wif: and sells her when he tires or her, and his title to her is respect ed. Those brought for the lrernnis are held by a regular bill of sale, which every Chinaman will support. for he holds his own wire in that way. The Chinese wo_ mee need a few Susan B. Anthonys cHlN.vrows cannot be said to have been seen ti.l one has taken the trip I did kit night. T.• do it, get on good terms with the Chief t . Police, and have him to detail one of the policemen in that district to take you through. You will see things that, to an American, would .seem impossible. Yon go through long, narrow, dark passages, swarming with the heathen, and smelling of all the horrors that sin, dirt, and filth can produce. Understand, these are the quarters of the low Chinese. You enter a room.in a cellar, or in the garret, as the case may be, ten feet long. five feet wide, and six feet high. End in that space you will find six, or even more, Chinamen, re clining on shelves, one above the other. and all smoking opium. In the lower berth, on the floor, is always an old wrinkled scoundrel, who lets these berths by the night, and sells the wretched oceu.. pants the stupifying drug. He is a thief by day, as probably are all the occupants of his cell. lint as he sells the opium he gets the entire products of their day's work. And imagine a building lour stories high, each story divided into two, 50 feet by 120, with an average of six to each room 10 by G ! There are a dozen such building—a dozen, yes, fifty !--and scores of smaller ones, and all filled as I have stated. In these dark passages, narrow alleys, and dismal courts, dwell the CHINESE THIEVES, male and female. Here they concoct their robberies, and here they bring their booty and hide. But burried as they are in numbers it avails them but little. The olseers on this beat know every one of them, and, as they cannot leave the eitv. it is easy enough to find them. It would be unsafe for a white man to go through these places alone, but with an officer one is safe as he would be with a thousand about him. The Chinaman has a wholesome fear of an officer and never molests one. POLITICALLY California is mixed this year as it hast•een for several years past. The Republican party happened to have among its leaders a large number of heavy capitalists inter ested in the Central Pacific. Road. and of course those who tight that road fight the party. The Independents, made tip of three-fourths Republican and ..Ile fourth Democrats, elected Booth Governor two years ago, and will probably (wry the State this fall. The Central Paeiti.; is, in all senses, a monopoly. Every passenger and every pound of freight that crosses the continent has to pay tribute to it, anti then tariffs have not always been at reason able as could have been wished. And the managers are, as all other men are. selfish. They want all they can get, and, as a mat ter of course, they squeeze the people. They have alway something for a legisla ture to do, some . .Ax to avoid, some laud to gobble, and what is worse, they dis criminate against the established cities in favor of their own speculations. For all the sins of this gigantic corpora tion, the Republican party is held respon sible, because it has been in • power. The people forget that Democrats have been guilty as well as Republicans; but as the party has held the reins, it is charged with every break in the harness. The tight in this State is really between the railroad aiel anti-railroad, and the anti's will win. The Independents will have more votes than both the oil organ izations, at least so it looks to-day. All the towns and e:ties have gievanees and they somehow have identified the Repub lican party with the road, and so down it goes. But when it comes to a presiden tial contest, when the issues are national instead of local, up it will come again. The members of the Independent party will wheel into line again—they will drop into their old places. and California will take her place in the Republican ranks. The Republican State Convention at Sacremento, yesterday nominated a splen did ticket, the lion. 'l'. G. Phleps heading it for Governor. And the platform is as good as the ticket. It opposes monopolies • of all kinds, !livers irrigation. anti is alto gether a platform which the people ought to be pleased with. The ticket is made up of' men who. it' elected, will make the platform a reality. With this ticket and platform the Republicans ought to carry the State, but the feeling is now against them; but there may be a change before the election. The party is determined upon a fight for it at all events. B USI N ESS is good on this coast. and everything is prosperous. The hard times which squats on the shoulders of prosperity in the east. ern states is unknown here. San FrAneisen is building up more rapidly than ever be fore, and is building up better. The new Palace Hotel will be the largest and finest in America, or the world ; and there are two others going up almost :is large. Beautiful and costly dwellings are being built in all parts of the city. and an enor mous number of smaller dwellings are showing their ribs in all directions. F:very body seems to be doing well. The pleas ant chink of the gobi piece. and the deli cious rattle of the silver delight the ear everywhere. By the way, (Kim) AN!) sit.' E[ are alone used here, and it is odd to an eastern man.
