Seven Keys to a Safe-
"I tell you what," I said, "I shan't
come for the account any more. This
makes six times I've called for those
$470, and I shall put it in my lawyer's
-. hands."'
"No, no ; quite rigbte you, eabbee j
Pay dollar all soon. Call again."
I was reminded of all this by seeing
the Chinese Ambassadors the other
.day, and it carried me back to San
Francisco full five years ago, where I
was dealing largely in various com
modities which were much affected
by the Heathen Chinee.
I found them a patient, civil, indus
trious clas3 of people, ready to bar
gain and get things as cheaply as pos
sible, but scrupulously honest, and
ready to pay with the greatest promp
titude as long as I dealt with one man.
' When I had to do with a partnership
concern it was terrible work.
For instauce, I had trusted one firm
with goods to th- amount of nearly
$500, and no money was forthcoming.
I bullied my collector terribly, for
healwayc&mu back with an excuse
instead of money, and the spme tale,
that the firm was perfectly honest and
trustworthy, and that the money
would be paid.
"Then why don't they pay, John
son?'' I exclaimed.
"I wish you would give them a call
yourself, sir," said Johnson.
And I said I would, and did, going
to the Hongor Mercantile Company
eeven times, and always being put
off.
. It was always the same; they were
perfectly willing to pay, and messen
gers weresent, butto return sometimes
with two, or even three or four men,
members of the firm ; but while these
Chinese spenlows professed themselves
es ready to pay, there was an obstacle
in the shape of the absence of that
heathen Chinee, Jorkins.
At last I expressed myself as I have
said at the beginning of this story,
and was going out of the place when
a smiling Chinaman came up to me,
. and, holding his head on one side be
exclaimed
"Ingly Hong man, come ngain a
morrow. Payee then all-s-payee eb
bery dollar, oh, ciss."
"Well, look here," I said. "I will
come in here to-morrow at 11 o'clock,
and shall expeot to be "
"Oh, ciss, payee all dollar. Give
long, big order, lot. Goode thousand
dollar."
"I'll talk about taking your order,
my Chinese friend, when you pay for
the last,' I said gruffly: aud I went
away.
"The fellow looks honest," I said ;
"but there's no trusting these foreign
ers. They take delight in tricking an
Englishman or a Melican man as they
call it. Perhaps to-morrcw, when I
go, they'll all have pulled up stakes,
and gone east."
It was with some satisfaction, then,
that on reaching; their great shed
ware-house the next morning, I found
Mr. Pigtail in his long blue gown aud
bland smile, standing at the door,
ready to salute me with a dose of Pig
eon English which I could hardly
understand.
"Well, Mr. Ah Ree," I said as I
followed him into the bale-crowded
warehouse, which certa'nly looked as
prosperous as the great iron safe in the
corner was substantial "well, Mr.
Ah Ree, I hope you are prepared to
pay my account this morning."
"Ciss, ciss readee payee," he said.
And, placing a wicker chair for me,
he went off and dispatched' a couple
of messengers, with urgent orders
given in his barbarian tongue to
each.
This looked bad, for it was only a
repetition of the tactics followed on
former occasions tactics which al
ways resulted in a put-off.
I looked terribly gruff; but Mr.
Ah Ree, who was the senior partner,
.smiled and rubbed his hands as he
beckoned me to follow him to the far
ther parts of the warehouse, and then
showed me specimens of silk and
samples of tea, with coarse Chinese
pottery.
"Well,' I said to myself, growing a
little more easy in my mind, "there's
plenty to seize, at all events."
The result was that after my bland
friend had talked to me for about a
quarter of an hour, I booked a thou
sand dollar order for what an English
man would call sundries.
"There, ' said I, closing my book
with a slap, "this order shall be exe
cuted a9 soon as your last account is
settled."
"Ciss, ciss payee alle dollee," he
said, smiling, and pointed to a seat.
Meanwhile, by slow degrees, five
respectable-looking Chinamen had
come into the warehouse orstore ; aud
they came round me, smiling and
talking In a bland, smooth way.
"You mean mischief," I said to my
eelf; and my hand went involuntar
ily to my pocket, where, in accord
ance with San Franeisco customs, I
carried a revolver. "You mean to get
rid of me and your debt together, my
friends. Very good, but if you do, I'll
take one of you by way of receipt."
I suppose my face did not betray
what I felt, for they closed round me
in the calmest manner, making ex
cuses, and asking me to be patient a
little longer, for their messengers were
out, as I understood them, to collect
the amount I needed.
It seemed to me that they were get
ting me farther and farther from the
door into the gloomy obscurity of the
ware-house, under the pretense of
showing me fresh goods, till at last I
felt that the time foraction had come.
In fact one of the biggest of the party
whispered something to his compan
ions, and I seized my revolver, and
was about to draw it as a fresh China
man entered the building, and theyj
hurried to meet him with a look of
relief.
Lucky for some of you, my
friends," I said, drawing a breath of
relief, and following them toward the
door, meaning to take the first oppor-
tanity that offered to make a run for
it.
To my great surprise, though, Mr.
Ah Ree came, and taking my arm,
led me toward the great safe.
'Irou coffin, eb ?" I said to my- j
self.
"Countee out de dollar, said
Mr.
Ah Ree.
And the last arrival of six compan
ions went up to the safe, placed a key
In a hole, and turned it.
Then a second did so with another
key in another hole, and so on, till
six had unlocked six locks of the great
Bafe, when Mr. Ah Ree took out a
similar key to his companions and
went up to the safe, Broiling, as he
said to me:
"Great Hong Company poor Chin
amen. Big safee big dollar. Seben
partnee take seben key, open, get de
dollar."
As he spoke he unlocked the safe,
and turned the door on its massive
hinges, and then pullingouta drawer,
he drew forth a bag marked 470 the
amount in dollars of my account and
banded the bag to me.
"No trusty no man,'' he said, smil
ing, as he shut aud locked the door,
iis six partners locking it in turn,
"No trustee once mans: all come at
once, open door all right."
From which I understood that.as in
ourtradingcommunities, two or three
or even four partners have to sign a
check to make it negotiable, my seven
Chinese friends, all partners in their
Hong or trading community, could
make no payment -without every man
was present to help unlock the treas
ure safe.
I laughed at the plan, for the heavy
dollar bag made me feel in a very good
tempe'r. They laughed too, and shook
hands very warmly, after the English
fashion, as I took ray departure,
"Nooncetnan run away all dollar,"
be said, laughing.
"I see," Isaid laughing. "You shall
have your goods in soon."
I sent them; and. for a long while
after the Hong of Ah Ree and I did a
good deal of business; but it always
took seven ke3Ts afterwards when I
wanted money to open that safe.
Antiqnity of Man.
'Mr. Sydney B. T. Skertchly.of her
majesty's geological survey, who is
stationed at Brandon, Suffolk has re
cently discovered some flint instru
ments in that neighborhood, in beds
formed before the close of the glacial
period. One was picked out of the
beds in a pit at Culford, Suffolk, and
two others were dug out of like beds
in a pit at Botany Bay, on the Nor
folk side of Brandon. It was not till
Mr. Skertchly himself found another
implement at Culford, and saw the
boulder clay above the bed from
which ho extracted it, that the impor
tance of the discovery dawned upon
him. Alongside tiie Culford imple
ment he found a deposit of broken and
scraped mammalian bones and some
fresh-water shells. These bones were
all in a circumscribed area. A jaw
bone containing teeth had been for
warded to London to be examined.
Underneath the bones the clay was
found to be burned. Mr. Skertchly's
explanation is that we have here pre
served the one solitary instance in the
whole world of a camping ground oc
curred below the boulder-clay which
belonged to the paleolithic men, and
this camping ground occurred below
the boulder-clay which belonged to
the earliest part of the glacial period.
These remains were thus far older
than anything previously discovered.
Tracing the boulder-clay and the beds
beneath across the country, he saw
that the implements fouud at Botany
Bay were of the same age. The men
who lived before the boulder-clay ap
peared to him to be more intimately
connected in time with the men or
the paleolithic gravels lying upon the
boulder-clay, than were the latter
with the. men of the neolithic age,
who scooped out these ancient flint
mines near Brandon called 'Grimes
Graves.' '
A good story is told by a Covington,
Ky., gentleman, to this effect: A
country merchant visited the city, a
few day ago, and, going to Cincinnati,
purchased from a dollar store a table-caster,
which he took iiome with
him, and after putting a tag on it
marked '$14' made it a present to a
Methodist preacher, whose church
his family attended. The reverend
gentleman took the package home,
opened it, and examined the contents.
The next day he brought the caster
(with the card attached) back to the
groceryman, and said to him : 'I am
too poor in this world's goods to af
ford to display so valuable a caster on
my table, and if you have no objec
tions I should like to return it and
take $14 worth of groceries for my
family in its stead.1 The merchant
could do nothing but acquiesce, but
fancy his feelings.
The Ohio papers publish the last
letter written to his wife by Mr. A.
Toland, -who committed suicide at his
home, near Decatur, III., last week.
His wife was visiting friends at Lon
don, Ohio, and he wrote her that hav
ing been unable to keep his pledge
not to drink intoxicating liquors, and
having been drunk several times since
her departure, he had concluded to
shoot himself that he might not fur
ther disgrace her and his ohild. The
letter explains how he was tempted
to break his pledge, and concludes as
follows: 'You muBt believe me when
I say that I am eorry for you and Bes
sie for the disgraceful manner of my
death. But I am so heartily ashamed
of myself that I reafl cannot help do
ing so. Now, farewell forever, foryou
and Bessie are too good and true.'
There is a whole temperance lecture
in this tragedy, and a warning for
those who fail to encourage the re
formed drunkard in well-doing.

Passage of the Dardanelles.
I The London Standard publishes
the following letter, written by an of
ficer on board one of the irou-clads,
describing the mauoeu vers of the fleet
when orderea'to the Dardanelles:
The morning of the 24th was calm
aud sunshiny as the fleet lay quietly
at a jonor in Vourlan Bay, expecting
the arrival of the mail and news from
Europe, of which there was a most
coubiderable dearth. Toward noon
the wiud began to rise to a stitf breeze,
and while lunch was on a telegram
arrived, the upshot of which was
that the signal went up to prepare in
stantly for sea. Before 5 o'clock the
fleet, consisting of the tiaiamis,
the yatch of the Commander-in-Chief;
the Agiucourt, flagship of Sir
J. C. Uommerell ; the Swifr.su re.Tem
eraire, Sultan, Rupert, Hutspur.Rubd
and Research were uuder weigh, any
proceeded to the north, pasttbelslaud
of Lesbos. The orders were to pass
through the Dardanelles peacefully if
possible, but to resist any attempt at
obstruction. It was a prevalent idea
in the fleet that permission had been
granted in the first instance by the
Turkish government, but that it had
been subsequently rescinded. The
nightof the departure was stormy, and
the day dawned bleak aud rainy when
the Island of Tenedos came in view.
The Salamis steamed into Besika Bay
for the latest telegrams, and, on com
ing out, the Admiral lifted his flac to
the Sultan, the Vice Consul from
Cimnak also arriving and embarking
on board that ship. The fleet then
received orders to prepare for action
without any outward demonstration,
so that, though the upper yards were
sent down, the topgallant masts were
left standing. The Salamis then
steamed ahead to Chanak, to give
warning of the approach of the fleet.
Early in the afternoon the eutrance
was reached ; the fleet halted for a
short time at the Rubicon, and then,
in good order, column of divisions
line ahead, steamed quickly into the
Dardanelles. No attack was expected
from the forts Seddul Bahr, or Castle
ofEurope, and Kurn Kalch, Castle of
Asia, at the entrance, as in any case
the fight for the passage must have
really taken placeat Chanak, the nar
rowest part of the strait, the entrance
being only two miles wide. The guns
were now loaded and run not quite
out, butonly level with the ship'sside
and with the the tampions in them.
Those ships possessing Gatling guns
hoisted them into the tops so an to
bring them to bear on the embras
sures of the forts. The men were
cheerful and steady, though at the
moment every man believed that
fighting must ensue with the terrible
forts at Chanak ; and yet none know
whom they were going to fight, wheth
er Turks or Russians, nor why they
were going to fight them, for in the
fleet there was no news of what was
going on in the world ashore. At
length the terrible Chanak was ap
proached ; and then at the last mo
ment was Been a signal hoiated from
the Salamis, which told that the pas
sage would not be desputed. The
Sultau then saluted the Turkish flag
and proceeded with the Salamis; yet,
to the general disappointment, the re
mainder of the fleet were ordered to
return to the nparest anchorage. Besi
ka Bay. During the journey the
largest iron-clads had all of them
their steam anchors ready, so thev
might be anchored bow and stern off
the forts, to assault them if required.
There is an old castle and a stronc
earth fort on the opposite side of the
narrows to Chanak, and the stream is
known to have torpedoes laid down,
so that the most sanguine could not
have expected a bloodless vlcetory had
it been necessary to force the Dardan
elles. The fleet had certainly a most
imposing uspect, and there was much
that was striking to be seen from the
fleet itself. On its return the day
cleared up. and there was seen the
grand island of Imbros basking in the
sun, "Est in consp ectu Tenedos," for
the peak was not lost sight of
from sunrise. If every one at
home only knew how anxious
the crews of the ship3 are to
get some real news about the war
they could not but admire the cheer
ful obedience with which the men
execute orders that are unintelligible
to them. It is Interesting, as well as
important, to know that as the fleet
passed betweeu the castles of Europe
and Asia the guard turned out and
presented arms to the ship. There
wrr a strong feeling in the fleet at th
time or the advance that the passai e
of the Dardanelles could certainly
have heen forced had it been rpquir
ed. But at Chanak thpre are two I w
forts, stated to mount forty ton
Tvrupp enns, and therr is an upper
fort, with a plunging fire, so that it
would have taken sometime to des
troy them.

Pleasant Homes
Some years since we recollect hear
ing a man relate how he had in twen
ty years made a comfortable fortune.
He had a wife of taste, enterprise and
industry. He would buy a farm
which had been run down by neglect
and slovenness house unpainted,
fence broken down and the front
yard a hog range. He could alwa3s
buy cheap, as such owners were al
ways in debt and had to sell. He
wotId then repair it by painting aud
other small but Important items. But
he said his main dependence was on
his wife. She would soon have the
old garden brilliant with flowers,
while she would improvise cheap rus
tic porches or piazzas, and have them
just laughing with the sweet vines.
Then the place would be sold for near
ly double the price of purchase six
months previous. Then he would
buy again, thus buying and selling
continually. We do not however, in
troduce these things to be followed in
all respects, but to illustrate the in
creased value attached to a farm
adorned by a little tastsand industry.
But that is not all. There is real en
joyment in havingthe home in which
one is to live and die adorned in a
manner which no gorgeous upholster
ing nor gilded moldings sustaining
costly lace can compete with. The
dark green ivy leaves and vines,
which can be taught to twine about
walls, pictures and windows, add re
finement and comfort and content
ment to any home. And yet how
cheap these priceless companion orna
ments, to whioh Solomon in all his
glory could not compare. Plant flaw
era and train the vines if you would
have the world envy 'i-in your
home, and seek to ?? ,"f bj that
which he can commandC-p'ut whleh
will never perpetuate i' beauty.
