A Wonderful Parrot.
Having recently read of what is
termed a wonderful, parrot, I am tempt¬
ed to give the readers of the Hartford
Times a scrap from the history of what
was probably one of the most remark¬
able birds of its kind ever known :
This parrot was owned in this city
by Mrs. B - who received it as a
present from ’an officer in the navy.
When presented to Mrs. B-, the
parrot could only speak in Spanish,
which he had acquired from the sailors,
and it is safe to assert that some of this
jargon would not sound well to ears
polite, as Polly always talked Spanish
when out of temper or jealous of at¬
tentions shown other pets of the house¬
hold.
Mr. B and family lived at
this time in the building next south of
the Trust Company’s block, and while
this block was in process of erection he
greatly annoyed the hod-carriers by
bawling out, when they stopped imita¬ for a
rest, “ more mortar !” in perfect which would
tion of the men above,
cause them to refill their hods onl) to
find the tubs full, at the top, and no
alternative but for them to stand there
and hold them until there was room
made for their load. Polly seemed to
enjoy this very much, and chuckled
heartily when he saw the man start up
at bis call. He also served the brick
carriers in a similar manner.
One day Polly, having his liberty,
thought he would try his wings, so he
flew off, and found it more difficult to
stop than to start. But he finally
landed in a garden alight. on Arch T3uch street,
where he was seen to an
arrival caused some commotion, and
when the woman of the house ap¬
proached him, Polly cried, “I B-- want to
go home ; I want to see Mrs.
When at home Polly always called his
mistress by the more familiar name of
Laura, and it was only by mentioning
his mistress’s surname that the finder
knew who he belonged to, and inform¬
ed the owner as to his whereabouts.
When his mistress arrived, Polly show¬
ed great joy, and exclaimed, “Polly is
so glad to see Mrs. B --,’’ adding,
“Polly kiss Mrs. B- and suiting
the action to the word, held his bill up
close to her lips, and made a smacking
sound, in imitation of kissing.
Had Polly always lived in New
England, he would probably have had
more reverence for things devout, hut
he had very little regard for the Sab
bath or devotional forms.
One morning, the family, in the
midst ot their devotions, were inter
lupted and amused by the ejaculatory
tons ol Polly, in these words : “Lord
Cod Almighty, Nelson, dry up!”
Nelson was the Christian name ol the
man offering the prayer. It is needless
to add that the petition was never pom
pie ted.
The late Dr. Deadly, ^ when calling
one day, was “Go greeted by Polly with
this remark: home, boy, go home,”
alid then to himself, as if rebuking
hi self for, such a remark, he added, “0,
Polly B--, you are a very naughty,
naughty boy! winding up his soldo
quy with a peculiar chuckle, andj

“Polly is so cold”—and indeed
for the wind had blown open a door
dose to bis cage, and was playing full
upon lmn. The remark just quoted, I
will add in passing, was also made by
Polly just before he died.
A bachelor friend of the family
upon calling one morning, was
by Polly with a new version of his
favorite song of “Hi ! Biddy Martin !”
which was as follows: “Hi, Doctor
Tobin, tiptoe fine, can’t get a wife to
suit his mind. Oh, ain’ you ashamed ?”
The doctor naturally supposed that this
had been taught the bird, which was
not the case, but was only one of the
many instances where Polly incorporated
names into his songs. He sang the
words and tunes to Wait for the
Wagon” and “Pop goes the Weazel” so
distinctly that the visitors would sup¬
pose it to be a human voice, and it was (
often difficult to undeceive them.
American Cotton Manufactures.
An important account of the condi¬
tion and progress of cotton manufac¬
turing in this country has been prepar¬
ed by Mr. B. F. Nourse, of Boston, at
the request of number of English
merchants and manufacturers, and in
reply to a series of questions submitted
by them.
An examination of Mr. Nourse’s care¬
fully prepared figures shows some curi¬
ous and not unimportant facts in rela¬
tion to this great industry. In the first
place, it would" seem that we had in
1860 one cotton spindle to every six of
our population, in 1870 one to every
five and a half, and in 1878 one to
every four. We manufactured in 1860
over thirty-eight yards of cotton goods
per head of population, in 1870 over
thirty-sevens yards per head, and in
1.878 over sixty-five yards per head.
Our greatest export of cotton products
before the war was in I860. During trade
the war this branch of our export
became insignificant; since 1870 it has
steadily increased, but with falling
prices, raw cotton having also become
much cheaper. In 1870 our exports of
cotton goods were valued at three and
a half millions; in 1878 at eleven and a
half millions—still a trifling amount,
and in quantity only six and two-fifths
per cent, of oar total production, Eng¬
land exporting seventy-eight per cent,
of hers. Our exports in 1860—eighteen
years ago—were of nearly the same
value as those of 1878.
Improvements in machinery in these
eighteen years have resulted in increas¬
ing the product of the mills per hand
from fifty to sixty-five per cent., accord¬
ing as the fabrics are coarse or fine ;
and at the same time the weekly earn¬
ings of operatives are ten to twenty
five per cent, larger now than in 1860.
and the cost of living of the same kind
less than then. At the same time the
returns on capital invested have fallen
from eight per cent, in 1860 to five per
Lent. in 1878, the total capital having
increased from ninety-eight millions in
the first year to two hundred and eight
millions in the last. These figures show
that the greaterperfection of machinery,
contrary to a common supposition, has
not decreased, but increased the pay of
the operatives, while it has steadily
decreased the capitalist’s share of profit.
This is in strict consonance with expe¬
rience in England during the last half
century. do manufac¬
It is shown that we uow
ture the coarser cotton England; goods more
cheaply than they can in that
we are able to build all cotton machi¬
nery as cheaply here as it can be done
abroad, and that our export of cotton
goods has increased in the last three
years at the rate of sixty per cent, in
quantity and thirty-six per cent, under
the difficulty that we must regain our
place in markets which since 1860 our
competitors take have fully because occupied, and
this will time, it requires
a new direction of capital and commer¬
cial enterprise.

The Chinese Problem.
What a Boston Man who has Lived in China
and California Thinks of it.
The following is an extract from a
private letter received by a gentleman
in New York from his son in Calistoga,
California. The writer has lived in
California as well as in Chinn long
enough to know whereof he writer. He
has generally been a Republic:! in
politics both during his residence in
Boston and in Califo v nia.
The causes of depression here seem
to be more varied than in the east. Of
course, you either saw, heard or read of
the great California agitator Kearney,
who was with you curing your State
election. Well, I fully agree with him
on one point, viz: That the Chinese are
a curse to this country, and instead of
developing the resources of the State
tend to retard such development. It
may seem strange or paradoxical that a
frugal, industrious race as the Chinese
are should prove detrimental to this
country, but the reason is plain to one
who has lived here for a while.
In the first place their strongest hold
is as house servants of all kinus. They
are, as a rule, good, capable keep servants, the
aud honest—so long as. you
keys of the pantry, linen, chest, etc.,
in your own hands. So far, so good ;
and if the white women servants whom
they displace could find other employ¬
ments they would be a great gain. But
let one of these women go to a clothing
house for sewing and sne is told that
her work is given to Chinese tailors.
If she goes to a boot and shoe factory
a Chinaman is there ahead of her.
And so it is in almost every branch
were a woman might find employment. employed
The Chinese are even being
in a printing Louse in San Francisco,
where formerly 1(30 or more young
girls were employed. Another portion
of the Chinese are market gardeners. sell
They work the land cheaper, for
less money and live on food that a
white man would starve on. They hands, are
miners, day laborers, ranch
wash(wo)men, fishermen, in fact,
ALMOST EVERYTHING EXCEPT LAWYERS,
and as they gain a foothold in any
trade they begin to cut the wages down
until they get them so low that a man
not a Chinese would starve on such pay.
One of the great causes of the scarci¬
ty of money on this coast is the presence
of the Chinese here, combined with the
control over women that a half dozen
men on this coast have. When a
Chinaman gets a dollar, whether as
wages, or by mining, or sale of goods,
it is one dollar less in the Unit'd States.
That dollar never afterwr ds passes
out of Chinese hands, except in the
payment of faxes or customs. A
Chinaman never trades at the store of
any one but a Cliinaman, and that
dollar passes around among Chinese
until it finds its way to San Francisco,
into the hands of one of the s ; x com¬
panies, or other importing houses, and
by them melted down and shipped to
China, where it is lost forever.
China is something light a sponge in
this respect, as it takes in all the sil¬
ver that is put near i', but. the hardest
"•queeze fails to get anything out ol it.
Tne semi-monthly steamer from San
Francisco to Hong Kong takes from
$100,000 to $1,000,000 worth of
treasure to China, a greater part of
which is shipped by Chinese merchants.
In return we receive Chinese food,
which no one but a Chinaman will eat,
aud it is only intended for their con¬
sumption. The tea and silk is paid for
in a different manner.
Now, is there any State in the l nion
that can stand a drain of from $200,
000 to $400,000 a month and not be¬
gin in a very short time to find ready
cash getting short? This drain has
been going on here for years past, and
is caused, too, by a people who have no
sympathies witu us, who are totally
different in every respect.
Taxation of Personal Property.

endorsement that he owned no taxable
personal property in excess of his debts
[In order to obtain a clear statement of
; the matter a reporter of the Evening
Post to-day applied to State Assessor
James A. Briggs. In reply to questions
Mr Briefs said:
"I have real tho including published Mr. statements Vander
i this subject, he had personal
hilt’s affidavit that no
property liable to taxation over and
above his indebtedness. I am surprised should
that any intelligent of Mr. person Vanderbilt’s
question the truth
affidavit. He is a gentleman who can¬
not afford to misrepresent to the tax
commissioners his liability for personal
taxes. The railroads in this State are
taxed by law as corporations, and
stocks in them cannot be assessed to
individuals. Neither can the stocks of
any other corporation created under
the laws of any otiier State individuals be personal¬ in
ly assessed or taxed to
this State. This was decided in the
case of Trowbridge against the Com
missioners of Taxes by the Supreme
Court of New York.
“I have for years understbod that
Mr. Vanderbilt, in his gigantic borrowers opera¬
tions, was one of the largest has
of money in the laud. If a man
$5,000,000 of personal property, and
owes that sum, he is not liable for any
personal tax. The law allows a person
to change taxab.e into non-taxable se¬
curities, and this way he may escape
taxation. The railroads with which
Mr. Vanderbilt is so largely interested
in this State paid last year some $900,
000 of taxes.
'As long as the present law remains
on the statute book of the State of New
York, regulating the taxation of per¬
sonal property of individuals the amount
will become small by degrees and
beautifully less every year until there
Is nothing found to tax. The reduction
has been more than $100,000,000 in
this city within the last few years.
A« long as the law exempts bonds, na¬
tional currency and'all securities of the
Goverment, and allows persons to de¬
duct their personal property from their
debts, it will be difficult to get taxes
for any considerable amount from
persons who are engaged in large
operations, as their obligations will
more than cover their personality.
Women’s Ages.
Helen of Troy was over forty when
she perpetrated the most famous elope*
meut on record, and, cs the seige of
Troy lasted a decade, she must have
been quite elderly when the ill fortune
of Paris restored her to her husband,
who is reported to have received her
with unquestioning love and gratitude. she
Pericles wedded Aspasia when was
thirty-six, and yet afterward, for thirty
years or more held an undiminished
reputation for beauty. Cleopatra under was her
past thirty when Antony fell
spell, which never lessened until her
death, nearly ten years after. Livia
was thirty-three when she won the heart
of Augustus, over whom she maintain¬
ed her ascendancy to the last. The
extraordinary Diane de Poictiers was
thirty-six when Henry II. of France
(then Duke of Orleans, and just half
her age) became attached to her, and
she was held as the first lady and most
beautiful woman at Court up to the
period of the monarch’s death and of
the accession to power ot Catharine o
Medicis. Annie of Austria we.s thirty
eight when she was the handsomest
queen of Europe, and when Bucking¬
ham and Richelieu were her jealous
admireis. Ninon de l’Encles, the most
celebrated wit and beauty of her day,
\Vd8 the idol of three generations of the
golden youth of France, and was seven
ty-two when the Abbe de Bernis fell in
love with her. A rare combination of
culture, talents and personal attractions
en do wed their possessor seemingly with
the gilts of eternal youth. Blanca
Capello was tHrty-eight when the
Grand Duke Francisco, of Florence, fell
captive to her charms, and made her
his wife, though he was five years her
junior. L - iis XIV. wedded Mme. de
Mp’ntenon when she w#s forty-three Russia,
years of age. Catharine II. of
was thirty-three when she seized the
empire and captivated the dashiug
young Orloff. Gp to the time of her
death (at sixty-seven) she seems to have
retained the same bewitching heartfelt powers,
tor the lamentations were
among all those who had ever known
her personally. Mdlle. Mar, the trage 1 -
dienne, only attained the zenith of her
beauty and power between forty and
forty-five, when the loveliness of her
hands and arms especially was celebra¬
ted throughout Europe. Mme. Reca
mer was thirty-eight when she ,waB,
without dispute, declared to be the
most beautiful woman in Europe, which
rank she held for fifteen years.
