The recentdiecovery of a Chinese leper named Sam Ling in Newark, and the consequent local excitetnent thereupon, writes a physician in the Philadelphia Press, have had quite a marked effect in reawakening New Yorkera to a consciousness that there is a vast deal of this hor- rible disease wherever there are Chinamen, and that this city has a large Chinese population. Out of prudent consideration for the pre- judice of white people, who gener- ally believe the disease infectious— an opinion not shared by the Chi- nese—our Mongolian neighbors generally take very :good .care to hide away their lepers: Whether leprosy is really. infec- tions or nut, Californians—who have had more opportunities to study Chinese life than we of the East have enjoyed—think that it is, and certainly a good many white people have died of it on the Paci- fic slope. I was perfectly cognizant of one such case that was painfully tragic. A. young man, treasurer and general manager of a' flourishing brewi ug company,in.whick-he owu'ed an interest, boarded where I did, on O'Farrell street. I do not think that I ever knew a more genial, generous, clever and popular young fellow than he was. One day he called ilia to his room and directed my attention to a siu- gular spot on the right side of his neck, where the collar ordinarily covered it. It was about the size of a dime, round, and looked as if painted with 'Linc -white, or rather as if ell color had been extracted frOln the ;issues there. 'Do yuu know what that is 1' ho asked me. I hesitated. While I believed that I kuew—for I had already been examining leprosy consider- ably—it seoined lou awful a thing to think that my handsome, talented, blithe young friend, whoa[ we all liked so much for his untidy worth, had upon him the ineffaceable brand of that t no t o l u most horrible (loom. 'I believe you suspect what it is, as I. de,' he went ou, 'but We will see how it progres=es. . We may both be wrong.' Some six weeks later he called me in again to look at the spot. It had grown tothe bigness of a silver quarter ! And another spot was showiug. Nu doubt was possible. He was doomed. • 'I know when I caught it ; . three years ago,' he remarked. We wasted no words (Beetlesing the situation, for we both knew that his condition was hopeless. He simply pressed my hands, saying, 'Don't mention it to anybody'.' I said, 'No.' A few days passed, in which he seemed as light-hearted as aver. Meanwhile, as we afterward learned, he was quietly and syste• matically closing up all his business affairs. Then ono night as we met in the hall ho shook hauds and said, `Good-bye.' I understood him cor- rectly but could not., under the cir- cumstances, disapprove of his pur- pose. He went our—and did not return. Two or three days elapsed. The landlady—a pretty little widow, as good as she was charming, to whom he was engaged to be married --was very anxious about hint. At his place of business thel'0 was much Wonderment over his departure. Itis friends, and ho had many, were ;ill exercised about him. The news reached us that away down in Santa Rosa, in a lonely place by the bank of a stream, had been found the body of a young man, handsome and well-dressed, but without any- thing about him to give any clue to his identity. A bullet•hole was through his head end a revolver, with one chamber empty, was still clutched in his right hand. It was our friend. 1-}e had pelt a stop to his leprosy, the only ono-possible— death. - Bt GOING TO SCHOOL. .Dear little roan, so you are back in school and •you don't like it pretty well I don't think I Well that's natural and boy like, but it isn't right. Going to school is great fun, after you are too old to go any mote, which will be when you are old enough to die, and then I sup- pose you will go to another school. When I was your age I don't think I liked going to school a little bit, but that was because I didn't have vary much sense when I was young. 1 only worked and studied about six or seven hours a clay then, and had but three teachers to obey. I was the gladdest boy you ever knew, when I got out of school, and you never knew inc. Since then I have been at work all the time, and have to oboy more people than I ever saw in a school house at on•o time. The editor says if I don',I have my con• position ready by Friday night he wont have it at all, the foreman says lin must have it in hand Friday morning or it wont go in, the proof' reader says if he doesn't get the proofs Thnrsday night, they will have to read themselves and the 4ompoa.itore--there are seventy-&ve or eighty of them --declare they will strike if I don't write more plainly and punctuate properly, and spell better. Then I used to recite before a small class, or the school at most, and uoap• I have to read my gompest- tien and say my piece before all the subscribers. When I was a boy the teacher corrected me in the pree• encs of the clase, but now,, the critic, a terrible fellow he is, corrects me right out in print before everybody, and when I don't say my lesson to suit him doesn't he duet my jacket fur me, though The way he makes the lint fly is a caution, and the worst of it is I daron't ` holler,' and so got over it ; that would only slake him worse, and besides everybody would laugh at me and cry, Give him Soule more iu the same place.' He can —and does— say just as nice things as he. does rough ones, but you have to dot your i's and cross your is to earn his approval. Then I have to work for my landlord, and the gra• eery man and the tax, collector and shoemaker, and I don't know how many other people. I have to buy oil for the marching club of my party, and I have to march in the dust or the mud, and listen to long speeches and make some longer ones Myself. I have to say `please' and thank you ' and say 'sir' when I speak to the governor; I dareu't go 'itf`"b y iere-feet;'atld' 1've'ouly been fishing once this year, and then 1 didn't stay long and didn't catch anything; at the table, no slitter how hungry I am, I have to solve everybody else before I get a bit to eat myself, and 1 ant always the last ono waited on ; a urian down in Bogus Hollow says ho is goiug to lick me for shooting his clog—and he looks like a man of his word, too—when everybody kuows l'ut afraid of a gun and couldn't hit a flock of bares anyhow, on a cost, and with globe sights ; another mai) threatens to put me in jail if 1 don't pay a hill that I have three receipts for, and a poor widow wuruan iu Rag alloy, who takes in washing and gin, is going to sue me if 1 don't pay her $10 because my cow tore up her garden, when she has no garden and I never owned a cow in my life. I eau't follow the cir- cus procession, I can't stay home when I have the toothache, I can't get excused when the fish are biting; some of the boys in this great big school are bullies, and some of them are fools, and some of them are toadies, and some of them are sneaks, and some are liars, and some of them are great, big hearted, loving fellows, that you want to be with all the time, but they're so busy you can only snatch a word with them once in a long while. It isn't so° very much different from your own school after all, only the discipline is more severe, and the Toacher•is strict, while he is loving and gentle. But every time you break a rile you smart for it. I don't wonder that some of the 'older pupils are glad, glad, glad, when their lessons ale all said, and the blotted books are put away, and they are called up into the higher - room, where they will be closer to the Master, and all the hard places in the old lessons will be,explained away so lovingly and clearly that never a sigh will punctuate the recitation, and never a tear blister the pages that we blur and blunder over so stupidly ,and blindly now. Al), my little ratan, you'd better learn to love your school ; you'll never get out of,it until they send word to the sexton that you have graduated.—ROBERT J. BURDETTE.

He immediately opened fire on them, killing both the boys • and seriously wounding Margaret. After getting nearly home with the girls be was told that the other two, Hattie and Nancy, had eloped with Ned Gleason and Thos. Allison.
