II« Carries Only the l argest Caliber of Pistols. When a Chinaman buys a pair of boots he selects the largest to be had because he gets more leather for his money says the San Francisco Examiner: In buying pistols only those of the largest, calibre suit him, and of those he pur chases the most superior. No cheap affair can be sold to a highbinder. The arms are rarely purchased until st man has been doomed to death or a fight between “tongs” has been decided upon. Then some respectable looking ' Chinaman, pernnps a merchant, visits a) gunshop, and with the untmost care se-l lects one or more revolvers of the larg est sizes. The pistols arc critically ex-i nmined as to “pull,” certainty of action j in the cylinders, and the length of the! point on the hammer Which strikes the! primer and discharges the shell. Nearly all of those purchased have “long” barrels, 7 1-2 inches and are arms intended for army or navy use. and to be carried in hostlers. But the highbin der has no use for a holster. When he takes up the pistol it is'to kill some man within a few minutes, ams mayhap on | short notice, so be must have bis wea pon where it can be so gripped and put! into action instantly. The peculiarj dress of the Chinese especially favors; the murderous “binder” in concealing! the pistol and yet have it under com mand. The long flowing sleeves of tbe| outer garment worn on the steet by all Chinese serve a double purpose on a lushbinder. Often the assassin detailed to kill tome fanciful enemy or opponent of aj “tong” straps his revolver to his fore arm by a rubber band or other fastening from which the weapon can be instan-l taneouely disengaged. The pistol iiesj along the inner portion _of the arm.! where it can be carried without attract- i ing attention. If one of the Chinatownj detectives chances on purpose to brush , strongly against the “binder" in passing! nothing is felt of the weapon that Js ready for use as soon as the man mark- i ed for death appears. At other times,, when waiting about for a street fight to begin or when walk-1 ing from a tonghouse to seme battle-1 ground, the pistol is carried in the waistband of the trousers, where it can,! be quickly reached by raising the blouse. In cold 'weather it sometimes becomes, necessary under the highbinder code, to put a man to death, and then the as sassin may take his six-shooter in the hand and conceal it by turning down his long sleeves. That way of carrying the pistol is considered equally as desirable with the manner also affected in cold seasons when the “binder” covers his hands bv hiding them in his sleeves as ladies use a muff. One hand holds the pistol and when the victim can be stolen upon the weapon merely pushed against the cloth and fired through it. No one sees the pistol and it is easy for the murderer to escappe in the excite ment which always follows gun fire in Chinatown. Searching a Chinaman is mat ter quite different to that of going through one in civilized dress. Any where from five to twelve garments covering the trunk m'wt be closely ex amined. to make sure that no deftly con cealed pocket bolls a weapon. home times beneath half a dozen blouses a coat of mail or an armor of quilted paper is found, either being impervious to bullets. , If the desperate Mongals were expert marksmen there might be less objection to tlueir pistol practice on each other, but they are notorious errafre “hots. a few rears ago certain shooting gal leries of' the citv were frequented by Chinese bni when a playful white man one day killed one of the yellow marks wen irtead of aiming at the regular target the Chinese patronage ceased. Although quite indifferent to death, the Chinese have not yet learned to handle firearms properly. When they hold the pistol «t arm's length, they nearly always turn the faro away at the instant of firing. A high-binder who can remain complacent among the reports of a thousand trig fire-crackers, shrinks from looking through the sights of his pistol until the lead bos been sent ou its mission of death. Sometimes the murderers grasp the pistol with both hands and by using the double action discharge four or five shots in half that number of seconds. A rest across the arm is a favorite posi tion and one of the most effective, since it permits something like steady aim, although it is said that the high binder never keeps his eyes open when the pistol is discharged. No remedy at law has been effective in preventing resort to arms by the highbinders. Finos of $250 have been imposed for carrying concealed weapons and wihtin 24 hours a dozen “binders were fighting with pistols on the street.” The rule recently made by Chief Crow ley may operate to lesson the danger to’ pedestrians about Chinatown, because every Chinese arrested at the scene of the ’shooting will be compelled to de fend himself in court as a principal and pay attorney’s foes. Heretofore there has been an agreement among the "tongs" to settle their grievances outside of court, but the now rule will make such procedure unnecessary, siuee noth ing can be saved by so doing. A BY FATHER RYAN. The following graceful poem, hitherto unpublished, by Father Ryan, says the New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat, was written in about the year 1876, while staying with some friends on their beautiful planta tion In Mississippi. Always at home in the haunts of nature, with a heart and mind attuned to all that was lovely hud loveable In human life, the changeful eharm of the vernal season, in that rural retreat, and the quiet happiness of the household where he was an honored guest, awoke within him sentiments which found fitting expression in song. Admirers of Father Ryan's writings will be interested In this poem of occasion from the pen of the beloved poet, priest and patriot: TO MR. AND MRS. A. M. T. Just when the gentle hand of spring Cante fringing the trees with bud and leaf, And when the blades the warm suns bring Were given glad promise of golden sheaf; Just when the b.rds began to sing Joy hymns after their winter's grief, I wandered weary to a place, Tired of toil, 1 sought for rest, Where nature wore her mildest grace— I Went where I was more than guest. Strange, tall trees rose as if they fain Would wear as crowns the clouds of skies; The sad winds swept with low refrain Through branchi s breathing softest sighs; And o’er the Held and down tile lane Sweet flowers, the dreams of Paradise, Bloomed up into this world of pain. Where all that's fairest soonest dies; And 'neath the trees a little stream Went winding slowly round and round, Just like a poet's mystic dream, With here a silence, there a sound. The lowly groud. beneath the sheen Os March day suns, now dim, now bright, Now emeralds of golden greeu In flashing or in fading light; And here and there throughout the scene The timid wild flowers met the sight; While over all the sun and shade Swept l.ke a strangely woven veil. Folding the flowers that else might fade, Gum-ding young rosebuds from the gale. And blossoms of most varied hue Bedecked the forest everywhere, While valleys wore the robes of blue, Bright woven by the violets fair; And there was gladness all around: It was a place so fair to see. And yet so simple,—there I found How sweet a quite home may bo. Four children,—and thro’ all the day They flung their laughter o’er the place; Bl ight as the flowers in happy May, The children shed a sweet pure grace Around this quiet home, and they To father and to mot Iter brought The entiles of pure ' love unsought; It was a happy, happy spot, Too dear to be fore er forgot. Farewell, sweet place! I came as guest; From toll, in thee I found relief, I fuuud-lii thee a home am! rest— But, ah! the days are far too brief. Farewell! I go. but w.lh me come Sweet memories that long will last; I'll think of thee as of a home That stands forever in my past. -A. J. RYAN. PRE«BYTERY SENSATION. Columbia, S. C., April 12.—(Special.)— During the session of the Charleston Presbytery today the case of Miss Sadie Means, of Columbia, against the Second Presbyterian church was taken up. Two weeks ago Miss Means was suspended from this church because she holds a nosition in the tele phone exchange which necessitates her working an hour on Sunday. The com plaint alleges that Miss Means is a young girl dependent upon her own efforts for a livelihood and could not give up the position. It alleges furthermore that there are several members of the church whose positions require them to work on Sunday and no notice has ever been taken of it. The case has already caus ed a great deal of talk and is liable to brovoke a warm discussion in the Pres ter?'. The young lady has many friends who will advocate her cause. The peti tion was referred to a committee and will be reported tomorrow. The case intis already caused one fisticuff between two leading members of the church. CONSTERNATION IN ENGLAND.

The proceedings in the Fnited States court before Judge Pardee yesterday, in which the Richmond Terminal played so prominent a part in moving to have the receiver of the Central railroad dis charged and the orders of the court an nulled, have excited universal comment, as they were entirely unexpected and fell like a thunder clap. President and Receiver W. G. Oakman of the Richmond Terminal Company was seen in regard to the action of that, company last, night, and in response to a querry said: “We made these motions under the Rowena Clarke case simply to protect our interests, which would be practically extinguished under the proposed plan of reorganization, and we are bound to re sist it in self-defense. "The orders passed by the court, re ferred to by Mr. Crawford, are indefen sible and subversive of propriety ami justice, arid we will resist them on that ground because we own a majority of the stock in the Central railroad, which, under the reorganization, can't escape from confiscation, and our in terests would be entirely destroyed. The Terminal owns 42.000 shares of Central stock, for which $7,000,000 or more was paid to the syndicate incltisive of im provements. These interests which have been disfranchised would be entirely confiscated ttjuler the reorganization plan, and we propose,to resist, it.” “What do you propose to do in case you carry your point?” was asked. Up to now we have been quiescent in regard to oitr plans, and I cannot fore cast the future. There will be time for action after the present matter hits been disposed of.”—Savannah News. ADRIFT ON THE OCEAN. lie Crew of the Ella M. Storer Supposed to I Hove Vlutinled. New York. April 12.—The steamship City of Augusta, from Savannah for New York, when off Cape Lookout on Monday morning sighted a three-masted schooner a few miles to the starboard and drifting aimlessly about. A stiff breeze was blowing, but only two jibs w<ere set and the vessel was not attempt ing to make lieadway and no sign of life was aboard. Captain Catherine ran close enough to hail, when four men showed themselves and gave gruff assurance that every thing was all right and no help wanted.

How Secretary Carlisle Proposes to Help the Treasurv. Washington, April 12.—The action of Secretary Carlisle in refusing to purchase the Bowling Green site, New York City, for a custom house and in declining to ac cept the Chestnut street site in Philadel phia for the United States mint is taken as indicating bls policy in regard to the policy of the erection of public buildings which Is understood to be to defer the en tering upon costly works in the present condition of the treasury. Three million do liars would have been withdrawn for the p ymenT of these two sites had the treas ury authorities acted favorably lu the ; '"it*Vs"generally believed that Mr. Lamont, j as Secretary of War, who has charge of . the river and harbor expenditures, will , follow on this same line of action.

Mr. I. J. Jsiaes who is writing the book about Augusta, being gotten up by the Arkel I’ublishiug Co., relates some interesting experiences ami gives some valuable information iu and about the Transvaal tend Southern Africa. Mr. Isaacs three years ago was livflig in South Africa. He receives regularly it daily paper published at a thriving town in the upper part of the Transvaal, throe hundred miles from n railroad, one of three other daily papers published in the same place.. The paper is equal to anything in the south in the United States; six years ago this town site' was walked upon by lions. Now it has thirty thousand Inhabitants..lt. has three thea tre*) musical societies, art clubs, schools of the finest kind, and buildings of stone surpassing ns a rule the buiM ings of the cities of Georgia. It is a gold mining town. The mining companies are English. The ore is shipped to Englund. The natives—Zulus—are as a class more intelligent than the blacks of this country. Throe miles from this city, however, they wear no clothes. The Transvaal, which covers the whole southern part of Africa, for hundreds of miles above Capo Town, is taken posses sion inf by the English. There is also a sprinkling of Germans. The whole of the Transvaal is a prarie or treeless country. The soil is r<d clay, and the whole face of the country is covered with immense ant hills. Yet all over this land gold abounds. When asked if there was danger from the natives in travelling through the Transvaal. Mr. Isaacs smiled and re plied that there was no more danger in going anywhere one wished in the Trans vaal than in walking upon Broad street, Augusta, Gilm The Zulu nativi s one meets are harmless. The English power is asserted in the Transvaal as it is ev erywhere else. An English subject is protected al, all hazards ami this is ful ly understood by the natives. But apart from this the natives are inoffensive. Travelling when l there are no railroads is done by stage. Travelling in South Attica is very costly. The fare is about S2OO from Southhampton. England to Cape Town. A few hundred miles by stage >n the Transvaal will cost yoit front forty to sixty dollars. Ewrthing else in the country is proportionately high except tobacco, which can be bought for three cents a pound. Beer is one dollar a pint. The Transvaal. Mr. Isaacs says, is the coming country. Men can go' from here there and make money. Railroads are being constructed in the Transvaal. Above the Transvaal where the woods are reached, the African country is not yet open to civilization. As is well known millions ol acres of timber over lie this region, but when railroads reach it, and the timber is ent away the country will become inhabited. The woods are at present filled with savages tribes, dwarfs and all curious kinds of human creatures. Mr. Isaacs describes the modes of freight transportation in South Africa as being done by huge oxen—generally six constituting a team. When asked if there was any emigra tion to the Transvaal from the Asiatic countries, he replied in the affirmative, though I here were not many of these Asiatics in the country. Mr. Isaacs was asked by the Chron icle reporter of his impression of the Sahara desert as gathered at the dis tance he was from it. and if the thought of crossing it took upon the public mind there the form of horror it was thought over hero to take. “Yes.” Mr. Isaacs re plied. hi fact nobody thought of cross ing it. Os course some of the natives crossed it, because they knew how, and where to go so as to strike the oases, but it was certain dentil for anyone else to venture into the desert. “Was it thought in Africa that arti ficial oases would ever* be arranged across the desert so as to perfect trails?” was asked Mr. Isaacs. “Oh yes, this had been tried, and would doubtless be done some day, but: not: now because there was no great need for if. no commerce waiting for tins route. Os course people were not lost upon th» desert in any numbers, because they did not for a moment think of trying to cross it. They wore not sucked into it as in a whirl pool. so that there was no danger in it. It lay there. People would go out upon it around the edges constantly of course, but this was it small matter. Stanley was a wonderful man. The pub lic was under the impression largely that .Stanley entered Africa from the American side. This is of course a mis take. He went in from the Asiatic side or that, quarter near Madagascar.” Hr. Isaacs is a. very interesting talker upon Africa, and throws a great deal of light upon the state of progress in this far-away, little understood but interest ing region es the world.

C'., April 12.—(Special.)— The Journal this afternoon publishes an article saying that inasmuch as tho Gov ernor and State Commissioner Traxler were returning from the West on their whiskey hunting tour without bringing spirits for the liquor dispensary, it was said by a gentleman in a position to know that the whiskey men of the north west bail refused to sell whiskey unless the Governor could secure them for the amount of the purchase. The dealers will want some guarantee of payment from the state more thau the fact that tho law ■authorizes the state dispenser to pur chase whiskey without having made any specific arrangement for the payment thereof. It is generally believed by the whiskey dealers that the fifty thousand dollars appropriated by the legislature is only about sufficient to fit up, and inaugu rate the dispensary without the purchase of liquors.
