Horrors OF tha Chine e War.

Out of lengthy letter from Canton,
descriptive Of the great revolution going
on in China, we clipped this extract, re
lating to the capture Of the great city Of
Nankin:
"Of the Tartcr garrison, more than
10000, including the families Of the. sol
diers; women and children, were either
put to the sword or committed suicide, it
being point Of honor with that singular
people 70 perish rather than to yield
Every one. OF the priests, whether of the
Bulhist or Taouist religion, and who
were very numerous there, were massa-
cred. Their numbers could not have been
less than 500 or 2, coo; while those xii
led in the assault, the mining Of the walls,
and the en,ry Of the rebels, are said to
amount to over 90, coo men. Very many
! families were completely annihilated by
suicide. The streets were blocked up
4 with dead bodies

anticipated by many intelligent judg-
ments, a scene. even more awful will be
Witnessed. The local officers, all the

Sir James Macintosh, the historian,
was married early in life before he had
attained fortune or fame, to Miss
Catherine Stuart, a young Scotch lady,
distinguished more for the excellencies
of her character than for her personal
charms. After eight years of happy
welded life, during which she became
the mother of three children, she died.
A few days after her death, the be-
reayed husband wrote to friend, de-
pieting the character of his wife in the
following terms: -sU
81 was guided in my choice only by
the blind affection of youth. 1 found
an intelligent companion and tender
friend, a prudent monitress, the most
faithful of wives and a mother as ten
der as children had ever the misfortune
to lose. / met a woman who BY the
tender management of my weaknesses,
gradually corrected the most pernicious
of them. She became prudent from
affection and though of the most gener-
GUS nature, she was taught frugality
and economy by her love for me. Du-
ring the most critical period of my life,
she preserved order in my affairs, from
the care of which she relieved me-
She gently reclaimed me from dissipa-
ton; she urged my Incidence to all the
exertions that have been useful and
creditable TO me; and she was perpetual
ly at hand to admonish my needless
To her owe whatever
| am; to her whatever l shall be. In
her solicitude for my interests, she
never for a moment forgot my feelings
or my character. Even in her occa-
sional resentment, for which l but too
often gave her cause, (would to God I
could recall those momentsl) she had
no sullenness or acrimony. Her feelings
were warm and impetuous, but she was
placable, tender and constant. Such
was she whom have lost, and | have
lost her when her excellent natural
sense was rapidly improving, after
eight years of struggle and distress had
bound us fast together, and moulded
our tempers to each other; when a
of her worth had refined my
youthful love into friendship and before
age had deprived it of its original ardor.

Some years ago the Rev. Mr.. Axley,
of eccentric but pious memory, had
preached to one of the congregations of
his circuit, and after the sermon, as was
the custom with Methodist preachers in
those days, and it still is, when they do
their duty, the preacher had class
meeting. He had questioned each
brother and sister on the subject of their
experience, and practice, and enjoy
ment in the divine life, giving each a
word of encouragement, comfort, and
advice, as the case seemed to require,
filling up the intervals by singing a
suitable verse with life and spirit, until
all the members had been questioned
but certain very prominent member of
the church who it seems owned distil-
lery, but by some means his preacher
had found out the fact. When, after
the most serious conversation with
others the following took place.
Preacher.-Well brother Jerry how
do you come on making whisky?
Brother.-(Somewhat startled. y
Oh, l don't know exactly, tolerable well
enough.
P-Well brother tell us how much
money you give for bushel of corn.
B.-Twenty-fye cents a bushel.
P.-Twenty-fye cents; very cheap
that, 1 should say; but another ques-
ton; how much whisky do you suppose
one bushel of corn will make?
B.-Can't say. L suppose about
three gallons. Very much confused. }
P.-So three. gallons! Why that's a
considerable turn out, should judge.
But brother what do you get for a gal
Ion of whisky?
B.-Looking rather wild. Seven
ty-fve cents.
P.-Seventy-fve cents. Two hun
dred per cent? and that too, | reckon
by the barrel; you get more by the jug
full. But, brother, tell your brethren,
isn't the slops very good to fatten hogs?
B.-Yes, very good.
P.-And won't the hogs you fatten
for nothing on the slops come mighty
nigh paying for the corn? ia1sf
B.-Well, very nigh it.
P.-But to come to the question,
brother, do you make good article?
VIII it bear bead?
By this time his brother was SO per-
fectly confused by the preachers inter-
rogatories, he had began to wish he had
never seen the preacher or distillery
either. The class could scarcely main
tain their gravity during the dialogue,
and he SO tormented, every time he met
a neighbor, by the salutation; ''well.
brother, how do you come on making
whisky?" and edo you make good
article? will it bear bead?" that he
actually broke up his distillery and be-
,ame consistent Methodist.

The EPIDEMc AT NEW ORLEANs.-A
telegraphic dispatch received at New
York from the secretary of the Howard
Association, dated New Orleans, Au-
gust 18th, says: "Tar barrels are burn
ing through the streets-cannon are f.
ring. We have eight hospitals. God
knows when it viii stop"
The following is an extract from a
letter received from a private correspon-
dent at New Orleans, dated the 18th
August:
People begin to die here in way that
does not resemble the yellow fever
Within few days many have died in
less than "a hours after being taken, and
almost Immediately after the breath has
left the body it has turned spotted, be-
ing covered all over with black spots, so
that it is supposed that there is some
other pestilence among us beside yellow
fever. Some think it is the plague
same as was so fatal in Rio Janeiro last
year. 1t is enough, however, for us to
know that from $40 to $50 daily die by
the prevailing epidemic. Our cemetery
reports of interments by no means in
clude all; many are hurried out of the
city and die and are buried in the coun-
try. l have never before seen so much
alarm and confusion about sickness in
this city; all flee who can get away. 1t
rains every day and hot sun is stewing
us up when not raining.

A SIAMEsE 1NyEsTMENT.-Ab
three months ago gentleman of Caddo
Parish, La, left among other personal
property to his two sons a valuable
slave named Jim. Jim was favorite
of both his masters, and neither would
sell his half of Jim, to the other; but,
about the first of this month, gentle
man of this city who has plantation
in Louisiana, and in whose service Jim
was hired, informs us that one of his
owners, finding himself involved, re-
solved to sell his half of the slave at
auction, for cash, and did not wish his
brother to get him. @
The boy Jim had accumulated, by
one way and another, small pile OF
money, and when he was put up at auc-
ton in the slave market at New Orleans,
Jim bought one half of himself Well,
time wore on, Jim working faithfully
for the man to whom he was hired, re-
ceiyed one half his earnings himself,
until about the first of the month,
when, in swimming bayou, he become
weak, and fearing that he should drown,
cried Justly for help, and offered his
half of himself to any one who would
save him. A man standing on the
shore showed of in a skiff, and got to,
Jim Just as he was about to go UNDER
and pulled him in. Jim now, like an
honest fellow, offered to give his de-
Iiverer deed for his own half of him
self, which his magnanimous preserver
declined taking, when Jim imploringly
held up his hands and exclaimed; "lf
ebber Jim gifts any more money, massa,

WAsHINGTON's WEALTH-THE MOUNT
VERNoN EsTATE.-The following extract
Is taken from an old book published by
Russelle & West, Boston, in the year
1900, entitled ''Washington's Political
Legacies, and dedicated by the editors
to Mrs. Martha Washington:
General Washington was at one time
probably one of the greatest land-hold-
ers in .he United States. His annual
receipt from his estates amounted in
1876 to four thousand pounds sterling.
His property, at the same period, was
estimated to be worth one hundred and
sixty thousand pounds sterling, which is
a very large sum in federal money, was
considered very great fortune at that
early day in this country for any one
man to possess. His estate at Mount
Vernon alone was computed in 1897 to
consist of nine thousand acres of land,
of which enough was in cultivation to
produce, in a single year, ten thousand
bushels of corn and seven thousand
bushels of wheat. In a succeeding year
he raised two hundred lambs, sowed
twenty-seven bushels of faxseed, and
planted seven hundred bushels of pota
toes.

NA writer from the South saws.

1t may be new to most of your readers
that there is danger of New Orleans vet
becoming an inland town. The Bayou
Plaquemine-a branch of the Mississip-
pi-which sets out in nearly straight
line for the Gulf of Mexico, is rapidly
enlarging itself. And unless something
is done to check its progress, it will in a
few years become the main channel
The Plaquemine sets off 1875 milesnorth
of New Orleans, and, owing to the
straight course of its channel, it is no
further from the Gulf of Mexico
Hence a gain of 1875 miles to those who
go to the Upper Mississippi by the Pla-
quemine. d.
