There is a great deal of sentiment
wasted on the Chinese question. Men
declare that this is the "land of ths
free, and the home of the brave, and
as asylum for the oppressed of all
lands," and that it is not constitu
tional to exclude any foreigners. The
talk about bravery and freedom is
one thing, and to talk about the con
stitution is another thing. The peo
ple make the constitution and the
laws, and if they prefer to make
them to keep out the Chinese, there
is nothing to prevent them from do
ing so ; but then if Americans will
not receive Chinaman, Americans
should not want to go to China. It
is the commercial interests, and mis
sion interests that are Beeking ad
mission to China, and, as a natural
result of that seeking, bring about
treaties between the two countries.

fhould not be made at his expense. Gar

The following from a city exchange
is of general interest : The following

equahcg or exceeding three-fifths of
their original proportions, are re
deemable at their full face value.
Fragments of United States notes,
silver certificates and fractional notes,
each constituting clearly one-half,
but less than three-fifths, are redeem
able at one-half the full face value of
whole notes or certificates. Frag
ments of less than a half are redeem
able only when accompanied by an
affidavit stating that the missing por

The following piece of intelligence
from Lebanon county is of no small
interest to people that hare been
having to do with speculative insur

reads : " The receiver of the late
World Company of Lebanon is about
to bring suit against all responsible
policy-holders for the recovery of the
unpaid assessments on deaths which
occurred prior to the failure of the
company. The actions will be based
on the contracts entered into between
the company and the assureu, and
which were accepted by the assignees
of the policies. Should these suits
be successful the same plan will no
doubt be followed by the receivers of
other companies, and will produce a
sensation among the speculators."
A NCMBEB of sports got up a cock

for 300 men to go to Ohio to work on a

Da. Joseph PascoAst, a distinguish
ed Philadelphia surgeon, died on the
morning of tbe 7th inst He was
77 years of age. The Philadelphia
Times, in speaking of his skill as a
surgeon, said i The great point in his
career was his skill as an operator.
He was ambidexter and could per
form operations of the most delicate
intricacy witb bis leit nana wnicn
were beyond the skill of others using
the right hand only. It was, in part,
the extraordinary facility with which
he could employ both hands at one
time which made him so successful
in the department of plastic surgery.
By the removal of strips of llesh
from the forehead and elsewhere he
has formed no less than a dosen
noses for persons who, either through
accident or 'disease, were without
them. There is a woman standing
in the Callowhill Street Market for
whom he made a nose twenty-two
years ago and no one can detect it
now from nature's own best handi
work. He was the first to show that
after the eye-brow has been destroyed
a good-looking substitute can be
made by raising a flap of the scalp
with the soft, drooping hairs of the
temple and giving it what is termed
a "long pedicle" to run into a bed cut
for it in the brow. He also furnish
ed maimed humanity with eye-lids
and eSrs. So far did his fame as an
operator extend that one of the things
which visiting foreigners marked
down as of the greatest interest in
Philadelphia was "to see Dr. Fan
coast operate.'' His hands looked
clumsy, but he could take up a large
knife, as on the occasion of the visit
of the Japanese party some years ago
to see him perform amputation at the
hip-joint and the next moment he
could take the finest needle and oper
ate upon an eye. He wus among the
first to resort to the section of the
facial nerve for the relief of neuralgia.
He was remarkably successful in op
erations for cataract and early im
proved upon the operation of "couch
ing" by complete extraction. In the
treatment of strabismus, or squint,
he was in his day unrivaled.
A down-east exchange says : The
following anecdote is related of the
late Judge .Kent, of Maine : A man
was indicted on a charge of having
burglariously entered a lumberman's
camp and stolen clothing and money.
The witness for the government tes
tified that he saw the prisoner's head,
righ t arm and shoulder thrust through
an opening he had made in the cabin,
and that the stolen articles disap
peared with them. With this the
prosecution rested. The prisoner s
counsel went to the jury gravely pro
testing that there was no case ; that
to make out a case of burglary the
prosecution must show an entrance
of the whole man at least the larger
part of him ; the feet as well as the
head must have been within the cabin.
Judge Kent instructed the jury to
return a verdict of guilty to the ex
tent which the evidence should war
rant After a brief absence the jury
returned a verdict of guilty against
the prisoner as to his right arm. right
shoulder and head, and the Judge
sentenced the arm, shoulder, and
head to the State prison for two
years, remarking that the prisoner
might do with the remainder of his
body as he pleased.
The management of the Carlisle
Indian School took a number of their
scholars to Philadelphia and gave
an entertainment an entertainment
such as are commonly given by
schools. A young Arrapahoe Indian
made the following speech :
" Study is very good, but there is
ncthinfr so good for the health as
work. God knew what was good for
men when he told us to work with
our hands. The devil tempts every
body, but the idle, lazy man who will
not work tempts the devil. He gives
plenty of work to all who do not find
it themselves. We are told that
there are but three ways of living
by working, by begging, and by steal
ing. Those who do not work do one
of the other two. We, at Carlisle
school, do not propose either to steal
or to beg for a living. When we go
back to our homes we intend to go
back with good trades, strong arms
an J veiling hearts. e will go back
to lay tuc foundations of a new life
for our people, v e wore wim gooa

her when in financial difficulty. This

finmi ForcLaa Histobt or the Usited
States was undertaken at the close of the
first hundred years of American Indepen
dence. The author proposed to give to the
whole people of the United Statea and tbe
world a thoroughly impartial history of
America, from tbe mound builders to tbe
present time. As sucb it was necessary to
steer free from whatever in recent history
would arouse sectional animosity or party
bitterness. He determined to meet all
questions of burning moment in the judi
cial rather than controversial pirit, and
while giving to every event its due impor
tance, he would seek to avoid controversy
by the gentle word that tnrneth away
wrath." Tbe work is now finished down to
President Arthur's administration. In it
the truth of American history is impartially
given in true historic form, without passion
and without fear or favor. It is a work
that all sections of the country can read
and enjoy. Although tbe author is a North
ern man and soldier, bis work is popular
and widely nsed as a text-book East, West,
North and Solk. An Alabama teacher
lately wrote aa follows, to tbe Publishers :
"We are nsing your history and like it,
though it doetn't favor we rebel. And so
it is liked throughout the country, because
it doesn't favor any aide at the expense of
truth and justice. Instead of being spread
out in many volumes, more or less didactic,
statistical or dry, the book is complete in
