A clrenmstance camo to light yesterday afternoon which tends to place Ald. George E, Whlte, of the Tenth Ward, in a damaging position—that of a mutllator of public documents for tho benefit of himacl! or hisfriende; sud parenthetically it may be romarked that not very long ago a similar charge was preferred agalnst him. It appenre that shortly before the April clectlon ex- Ald, Walsh, of the Tenth (old Eleventh) Ward, had his pockets pretty well lined with ‘ira bables,™ and was_spoflthg for an_ opportunity to wager them [nsums varying from $10 10 320. “Jlo flmhly succceded §n booking severnl bets to the effect that Georme B, White would not receive more than threo votes more than A. 1. Smith, the other Republican candidate for Alderman in the Tenth Ward. Theso licts were taken by some of White's henchmen, and it Is sup- posed that e furnished tho stamps_ which they put up. Tho election came off, and White's majority over Sinith was declared by the Judges provions to the official canvass to be only two voles. Walsh therefore won. White's henchmen kick- ed, and told tho stake holder not to give up the monoy, as thero was an error ln the count, White told Smith that he beat him some ten or tiwelve votes instead of Lwo, and on belng asked how ha knew, rald that the judges had made an error. The vote in the Firat Precinct of the Tenth Ward was the night of election de- clared to be 270 for Smith. Boil was registered on the poll-book ond on the tally-sheet and fta duplicate, The judges told Smith that there 'wns no arror. The cvening on which the vote was canvassed by the Councll, Ald. White requeated Ald, Cullerton to call his vote two or three more than it really was, which he rofoscd to do. v “Poll-book tho course y was mnoticed that two Ink strokes had been run through, the figures **70" and ** g0 ™ written above. How it was done or by whom It was done no one knows, bat the internal svldence goea to show quite concluaivoly that White hnd a hand fnit. Itwos for the pecunlary interest of the henchmen whom he backed that the record should be falsified, and White himeelf, for all thatis known to the country, might have had a similar in- tereat. Ald.

From Our nm; Correspondent. PmrLADELIRIA, Muy 13.—When lttle Mrs, Ching-Ti sat down in her cottage on the banks of the great Yellow River, and began the con- struction of onc of those elaborato ornamental screons for which tho Celestials are o celebrat- ed, she probably did not dream of thio uses to which it was to be put. Poor thing! as she toil- ed day after day, lovingly ading touch efter touch, so that the fantastic figurcs emerged gradunlly from the Inner soul of the canvas, it Is quite llkcly that she never cast a thought upon the destination of ler work, beyond 8 porhops-unuxpressed ambition that it might some day adorn the luxurious aportment of a Mandarin. Did she know that. the creation of her subtlo tingers would be borne far across the wesry cxpanso of water to the strange ond wonderful land of which she hod lieard occaslonal rumors, there to be gazed upon by thousands s o specimen of woman’s handlwork, would not her little hands havo trembled with delight, and perhaps have been unequal to tho dellcate task? Likely enoupgh. She hersdlf was In all probability enly a commonplace, snub-nosed, weak-minded fe- male of the lower order, obliged to énrn hér daily bowl of rice and cup of tun by protracted ton, and personally not at all attractive from the high standpolut of Amerlean fdens regard- ing beauty. If she Lnd come over hers during the Centennlal year to sce the great show, of which stie undoubtedly has never heard o sylla- ble, it Is hardly probable thot her American sia- ters wonld have admitted her to thelr councils, or treated her as other than oncof o very fn- ferior raco of belngs, ecarcely humau. But Mra, Cuing-T1, I will sy it for her, s no alouch of an artist. If hér palntings do not have the freg- dom, grace, and scopo of those producetl by | clvilized hands, it {s not the fault of her brain or hands, It is because of tho lack of material under which she suffers. Secing In her dafly walks only one character f costume, sho naturally knows only how to paint the human figure in o pig-tall, o checketed gown, shoes with toes very anuch turned up, end a fan. Ienca her lack of varlety insubjects, 1ler religion and tradition afford her more opportunitis for the display of those picturosque qualitics that dia. tingulsh the trie ortist.
