EtINTING A SPECIALTY. -
Vitt tot-Ztlier.
Our Second-Floor Lodger.
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

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

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_

cannot be said to have been seen ti.l one

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.
