The testimony taken by tH4 Chinese
Commissioner in Ban Francisco in reference
tt the shoe trade was very interesting. On
October 28th a manufacturer testifieJ that
four years ago the average wages of
journeymen guoe makers ranged from $24

able to earn only from $16 to $18 a week.
This reduction he aUritJbteU to the employ
ment of Chinese joiirceymeu. ..The price of
Chinese labor in San Francisco, he said,
was on a level with that of white labor in
New England. As assistant forewoman in
a factory in Which 300 Chinese journeyman
were hired; slated that 23 young woman
were also employed on upperf. They did
not like to work with the Chinese, but
starvation was the alternative. There are
hundreds of unemployed white women in
the city who wonld gladly take the place
oftht Chinese, and they could certainly
work with greater rapidity.

Gov. Hayes sets a pplendid example
to his friends by his calm dignity aud
readiness to accept the will of the peo
ple. Gov, Tilden would but do his
duty If ho would put a stop to the
reckless mischief-makers among his
followers who blantantly insist that
returns which do not please them
must bi fraudulent, and that a de
cision Which does not please them
must be resisted. It is not to his
credit that, while they threaten, ho is
silent. Has he hot the patriotism to
tell his followers that the laws must bo
obeyed? Has he not the good sense
to repeat tho calm advice given by
Gov. Hayes, and to remind his fol
fowers that the actual results of elec
tions are decided, not by hopes or
bojtsts, but by official returns?; Y.

Hartford, November 11. Much ex
citement baa been aroused in West
Hartford by f'ettorts that Benjamin
F. Bissel, a well-to-do farmer, who
died last week arid was buried bn tho
8tb instant, had been poisoned. A
post-mortem examination by three
Hartford physicians, the day before
the burial, brough to light some bus
picibtis facts which led, them to re
move the stomach of the deceased,
and it ha3 been placed in the hands of
the State tiSfetoist, Professor Hall, of
this city, for ad analysis. His report
is expected nest Monday, and mean
while Mrs. Bissel ahd an Irish laborer
on the farm, who are believed to be
jointly implicated in the affair, are
said to be Under surveillance.
Cremation is to be suspended, and
instead of destroying a corpee by fire,
as the ancients did, or making gas of
tho same, as has been suggested, an
inventor of Grenoble, France, pro
poses the opposite method, and pre
serves them forever; "At th e decease
of an individual the body is plunged
into a liquid invented by him, and in
about five yeas the individual is
tunied into stoile. Tho gerret of the
petrification is known only to the dis
coverer. But he ges further. He
says that in a thousand years time, if
persons will preserve their relatives
aud friends, they will be able to build
a house with them, and thus live in
residences surrounded by their ances
tors." Another application Of this
process has beeri suggested, namely,
to have the petrified corpse nickel
plated or electro-plated with bronze,
and 11 a statute of oji Individual is de
sired, to place the corpse On a proper
pedestal, sd M to fulfil the functions of
being the' etatuc Of the party deceased.
