Tho Chinaman In Maacachusr.tts~.The
' Color?il Boys at West Point.
Ifc seems that tho North ia beginning
to hav? its theories of the South reduced
to practice, and evidently the matter ia
not agreeable. The introduction of
some Chinamen into a shoe faotory iu
tho truly "loil" State of Massachusetts,
seems to have created a "terrible muss."
An indignation meeting is hold, and
"down with the Chinaman I" is the cry.
He is about to degrade the Massachu?
setts white workingmen. Tho following
resolutions wore adopted:
"Whereas, we have witnessed with
our own eyes, the introduction of China?
men into the manufactures of the East,
for the purpose of degrading tho Ame?
rican workingman and laborer, aud re?
habing them to the condition of s erf do m ;
therefore, bo it
''Resolved, That we are inflexibly op?
posed to all attempts ou the part of capi?
talists to cheapen and degrade Americau
labor by the introduction of a servile
-class of laborers from China or else?
where; while we, at the Bama timo,
heartily weloome all voluntary emigrants
Irom every clime, and pledge them our
Bympathy and encouragement in efforts
to secure for themselves aud their chil?
dren, homes on American soil.
"Resolved, That wo call upon tho
workingmen throughout the country to
hold mass meetings, and use all other
honorable means to urge upon tho Sena?
tors and Representatives in Congress tho
necessity of immediately passing tho bill
now ponding in tho Senate, entitled 'A
bill to make the importation of emigruuts
under labor contracts unlawful.'
"And be it further resolved, That wc
pledge ourselves in tho future not to
vote for or support for uuy oflioo any
party or parties who are directly or indi?
rectly interested in the importatiou of
this servile race; and that we will use our
utmost efforts to defeat those uow iu of?
fice, should they offer for re-election, if
they refuse or neglect to work aud vote
for the bill now pending in the Senate of
tho United States."
So mu oh for the Mongolian in New
England. We have also the case of the
negro at West Point. The New York
Sun gives an account of tho two negro
appointees uow at West Point. Michael
Howard, of Mississippi, and James W.
Smith, of this oity, the Bon of Israel
Smith, a well-known colored man hero.
The Sim's correspondent details the in?
sults and persecutions to which tho Yan?
kee oadets subject these "boys of des?
tiny." He alludes to his examination of
those boys-thinks that Howard will be
rejected, but that young Smith will pass
the examination successfully. He telle
ns what certain people think of the mat?
ter. He says:
Senator Coukling sent for the colored
cadets yesterday, and questioned them
couceruiug their treatment boro. Thc
boys represented their treatment by thc
professors as kind, but unkind by thc
cadets. After the Senator had dismissed
them, your correspondent asked him thc
following questions:
What do you think of the colored
boys, Senator?
Senator Conkliug-They are not re?
presentative boys, at all. They do not
represent any race. Howard represan ts
very poorly the blessed African, while
Smith represents no race at nil, bein?
neither white nor black-a kind of speck
led Mongolian.
Correspondent-What will result front
their appointment ?
Senator-The whole thing is a farce;
and a greater oalamity to West Point, sir.
They will only fail in examination, nut]
the whole turmoil will havo been foi
nothing, except that theso boys will havi
been slaughtered forerutiers of a great re?
formation-a reformation which give;
representation to four millions of non
citizens. Why Judge Hugo and Mr,
Pierce did not send rcpreseutativo Afri?
cans is a mystery to mo.
" What do you thiuk ?" said your cor
respondent, as Admiral Porter, in a re
spleudeut uuiform, was lookiug ol?ovoi
the campus this morning ut tho drilling
of the colored boys.
Admiral-Why, darkys are gooi
enough in their places-very good-von
good, sir-very good people. I like
darkys. I wish I had ono uow to-cleat
my boots !
"How as a cadot, Admiral ?"
Admiral-No place for thom here, sit
-no place for them. I'm afraid om
naval boys would drop them overboadoi
tho first cruise. Bad, sir ; but you knov
boys will be boys, and if there should bi
a darky missing, why-why-it's no pluci
for darkys any way, sir.
Admiral Porter is Bixty years old, anc
tho Secretary of War is only forty-five
So I asked the samo question of tin
young Secrotary-How will they b<
treated ?
Secrotary of War-Precisely like otho
boys. They aro so treated now by tin
professors. It is hurd to "kick ag'aius
tho pricks." There isa tromeudous pub
lie seutimeut ngaiust tho nico. Wes
Point is naturally aristocratic, but mus
come under. Four millions of cufrun
chisod mou aro Joutitled to one-tenth o
the offices. As fast as they get smar
enough to soo virtue iu certain position
they will soek them. Tho first boy
should havo boon representativo boys
They don't li ko it-I hope they nro. Bu
they shall havo fuir play. Yea, sink o
swim, livo or die, thoy shall huyo nbso
luto justice.
And tho young Secretary turned t
Mrs. Gruut, with ii flush ou his cheek, ii
if he had said a true tbiDg, evon who
everybody was opposed to Ibo sent
ment.

Devoured Ijy Liions-A FrlsUtful Bean??
The usually quiet little villago of Mid
dlotown, Missouri,'was lately tbrowu into
a painful fever of exoitomonfc, by an
awful catastrophe whioh ocourred to the
band lately attached to James Robinson
& Co.'s circus and animal show, and led
by Professor M. C. Sexton.
Upon starting out from Cincinnati for
the season, the mnnagagement deter?
mined to produce something novel iu
tho way of u baud chariot, aud conceived
the idea of mounting the baud upou
the colossul den of performing Numi
diau lions, aud whioh would form ouo of
tbo priucipalaud most imposing features
of tho show. Although repeatedly warned
by Professor Sextou that he duomed tho
cage iusecuro and dangerous in tho ex?
treme, the managers still persisted in
compelling the baud to rido upon it.
Nothing, however, occurred uutil the
fatal morning of tho 12th instaut.
The baud took their places and the
procession commenced to move amid tho
shouts of the multitude of rustics who
had assembled to witness tho grand pa?
geant, and hear tho eulivouing strains of
musio. As the driver endenvorod to
make a turu iu the streets the lenders bo
camo entangled and threw the entire
team into confusion and ho lost control
of them, aud becoming frightened, they
broke into a violent ruu. Upou tho op?
posite side of the street the fore-wheel of
the cage came in contact with a largo
rock with such force as to cause tho
braces and stanchions whioh supported
tho roof to give way, thereby precipitat?
ing thu entire baud into the awful pit
bolow.
For au i os taut the vost crowd was par?
alyzed with fear, but for a momout ouly,
uud then arose such a shriek of agony us
was uevor heard before. Tho awful
groans of terror and ngouy which arose
from tho poor victims who wore bein;:
torn, lacerated by the frightful monster?
below, was heart-rending and sickening
to a torriblo degree. Every momeut some
oue of tho baud would extricate them?
selves from tho debris, aud leap over thc
sidos of the cago to tho grouud with c
wild spring, aud faint, away upou striking
tho earth, so great was terror. But hu?
man nature could not stand and soe mee
literally devoured beforo their very e3*cs
for there were williug hearts aud strong
arms ready to render every assistance
necessary to rescue tho unfortunate vie
tims of this shocking calamity. A hard
ware store which happened to stand op
p?sito was invaded by tho request of tin
uoble-hearted proprietor.and pitch-forks
crowbars, uud long bars of irou, aud ii
fact every available weapon, was brough
into requisition. Tho side-doors of tin
cage wore quickly toro from their fasten
iugs, and then a horrible sight was pre
sooted to view. Mingled among th
brilliant uniform <yf thu poor unfortil
nates lay logs, arms, torn from their sock
ets aud half devoured, while tho savag
brutes glared ferociously with their sick
ly greou-colored eyes (upon the p?trifie
crowd. Professor Charles White arrive
at this momeut, and gave orders in re
gard to extricating the dead aud won ml
ed-ho well knowing it would bo u ililli
cult and dangerous undertaking to rc
move them from the infuriated monster.
Statiouing meu with forks aud bars a
every available point, ho sprang feurlcs;
ly into the den amid the savage monster;
aud commenced ruising tho wounded au
passing them upon the outside to thei
frieutls. Ho had succeeded in removiu
tho wounded, and .was proceeding t
gather up ?thu remains of the Ufeles:
whou the mammoth lion, known to shovi
meu as old Nero, sprang with a frigb
ful roar upon his keeper, fasteuing hi
teeth and claws in him in his neck an
suoulders, lacerating him ia a horribl
maimer. Professor White made th re
herculean efforts to shake tho moustt
off, but without avail, aud gave ordors t
fire upon him. The contents of four c.
Colt's navys were immediately put int
tho carcass of tho ferocious auimal, au
ho fell dead; and the bravo little mai
notwithstanding the fearful mauner i
which ho was wounded, never loft th
cage until every vestige of tho dead wi
carefully gathered and placed upou
sheet, preparatory for burial. It wi
found that three of the ten who monnte
the cage a short time beforo wore kille
outright, aud four others torribly larci
rated. Tho names of tho killed aro Ai
gust Shoer, Conrad Freeiz aud Charl?
Greiner. Coffins were procurod aud a
immediate burial determined upon, ?
tho bodies wore so fiightfully torn an
lacerated as to bounrocoguizublo to the
most intimate friends. It was a me hu
choly day for Middletou, aud a sadd?
day for tho friends and companions <
the deceased. Of all the vast multitud
who started out in tho morning with ai
ticipations of a glad holiday, few left f(
their homes with dry eyes after the trip
funeral, for the entire community follov
od tho romains to the quiet little cern
tory. At midnight tho carcass of tl
slain beast was quietly buried nu tho h
where was intended to bo given thu c
hibitiou, but which was uover aceon
plished. Tho lions oro tho sumo (om
which nearly cost Prof. Charles Will

FREAKS OF LIGHTNING. - A singular QO
oident occurred at Bound O, Golleton
County, oh Wednesday last. Mr. E. A.
Willis ati(l Iiis two children were caught
in a rain nod thunder storm, and took
refuge nuder u tall pine tree, hugging
close to tho trunk, Mr. Willis himself
resting his forehead against the tree.
While thoy wero in this position, the tree
was struck by lightning, the bolt passing
down tho tree, making a deep incision in
the trunk, until it roached a spot oppo?
site Mr. Willis' head, when it shot to?
ward his right breast, perforated Ins
clothing, then passed down his body to
tho abdomen, where it divided into two
parts, and continued its courue down
both his legs to tho ground, leaving a
black mark encircling euch leg, near tho
ankle where his drawers wero tiod. Ho
was stunned by tho shock, and, falling,
lay unconscious for some moments.
After recovering his souses, though disa?
bled in his legs and body, be managed
to crawl some distance to a neighbor's
house, and make kuowu bis case. Ho
j was taken in and attended to, while par
tics wont iu search of the children. They
found one of them, a littlo girl, lying
near tho tree, unconscious, the lightning
having struck her on the top of the head,
tearing a sun-bonnet which she wore, nil
to pieces, and leaving a dark Hue on her
cheek, as well as singeing her hair. Slio
was carried to the house, restoratives
wero administered, her consciousness re?
turned, and, in a few hours, sbo was ap?
parently ns well as ever. Tho other child
was fouud unhurt, though close to his
sister when sbo was struck. Mr. Willis,
though injured severely by tho shook, is
recovering. A singular circumstance
connected with this case is as follows:
On theVext morning, in tho samo neigh?
borhood, two meu were uotcbiug a tur?
pentine tree, wbeu a similar storm came
up as they were conversing about tho ac?
cident to Mr. Willis. Fouling alarmed
as the storm approached, they left their
work at the tree ?iud separated, goiug in
difforout directions. Thoy hud not gone
moro than ten or fifteou yurds, when the
tree on which they were at work was
struck by lightning, and shivered into
ut oms. Their escape might bo con?
sidered miraculous. Had it not been for
the accident of tho previous clay', teach?
ing thom prudence, they would botli
probably have been killed.

Logan hit the nail on tho bead in tin
debate on this matter last Saturday
when ho said: "The question to bude

be declared entitled to a seat in a bod;
which had passed a unanimous r?solu

have had a chance, but he stupidly cam

after such declaration, claiming adam
