Clocks VS.. Cats in China.

One day, when we went TO pay visit to some
families of Chinese Christian peasants, we met,
near farm, a young lad who was taking a
buffalo to Craze along our path. We asked
him carelessly, as we passed, whether it was
yet noon. The child raised his head to look
at the sun but it was hidden behind the clouds,
and he could read no answer there The sky
is cloudy said he, but wait moment and
with these words he ran towards the farm, and
came back few minutes afterwards with cat
in his arms. Look here said he, il is not
noon yet , and he showed us the cats eyes by
pushing up the lids with his hands. We look
ed at the child with surprise, but he was evil
IDENTIFY in earnest ; and the cat. though aston
ished, and not much pleased with the expert
meut made on her eyes, behaved with most ex-
emplary compIasance. Very well,' said we,
thank you,' and he then let 60 the cat, who
made her escape pretty quickly, and we contin-
ued our route. To say the truth, we did not at
all understand the proceeding but we did not
wish to question the little pagan lest he should
find out that we were Europeans by birth.
As coon as ever we reached the farm how
ever, we made haste TO ask onr Christians
whether they could tell the clock by looking
into cats eyes. They seemed surprised at
the question but as there was no danger in
confessing to them our ignorance of the proper
ties of the cats eyes, we related what had Just
taken place. That was all that was necessary
our complaisant neophytes Immediately gave
chase to all the cats in the neighborhood.-
They brought US three or four, and explained
in what manner they might be made use Of for
watches. They pointed out that the pupils of
their eyes went on growing narrower until 12
o'clock, when they became like fine line as
thin as a hair, drawn perpendicularly across
the eye, and that after IL the dilation recon-

Without hesitation and almost without sur
prise, the account of the investment was read
over and deeds OF estate and evidences of prop
erty in the name of Benjamin Fuller were pro-
duced. Houses, ships and cargoes were plac-
ed over to the rightful owner, and a rigid ac-
count of expenses and commissions was rem
dered, and with no comment or inquiry, the
poor man was left alone.
The day passed on, and Old Seth was again
toiling in business when a captain arrived from
the Mediterranean, entered and placed in his
hands a package. 1t was will bestowing
upon him all the property of the mysterious
old man, accumulated by himself as agent.
The true story of the mysterious visitor was
never told, but long afterwards it was recalled
to mind that Mohammedan merchant named
Hamet Ben Foula, had been in America when
the first incident occurred, and the passenger
who came and returned in the Yankee ship,
was called by the same name. This merchant
continued his business with Old Seth long af
forwards, and the latter never surmised thai
the tall Arab was the old decrepit man who
was his benefactor, nor that he held his prop
erty by will of one who still lived.

About Boarding.

Here is the other side, presented by corre-
spondent of the Home Journal. He says :-

noon, and night; and if agreeable, 10 have

tered at all times, taking away all sense Of
privacy or retirement if in trouble or ioy ,you
feel compelled 10 hide all traces from the gaze
of strangers. To lack the comforts of home.
to eat whatever others choose you should,
cooked as they please, whether sick or well,
living under system OF surveillance, almost
equal to that described by Bayard Taylor, as
existing among the japanese; feeling only
free when your door is locked for the night,
TO feel constantly obliged 10 entertain the COM
pany, and (worst of all y be entertained, to be
waited upon by untidy, careless servants,
obliged to keep everything under lock and

South Boston, who wears these paper dickies
sometimes, thought he would have some sport.
He accordingly took a half dozen Of them,
which he had worn until quite dirty, and put
ting them in with parcel of dirty clothes.
sent them TO his washerwoman. She, poor
soul, suspecting no trick, took them and put
them into her kettle, and gave them good
boiling. OF course when they came out they
had all fallen to pieces. In great alarm
she FASTENED to her employer and told him
that she believed her kettle was haunted, for
his dickies had all fallen to pieces. He ad-
ministered very severe rebuke, which fright
ened her half out of her wits, and gave her
another batch to wash. Back she went, and
with the greatest care, lest another catastrophe
should befall her dickies, she put them into
the kettle again. But 10 and behold, when
they came out they were also all in fragments.
This was too much for the good lady, who
really began TO believe that the evil one was
in her pot. With far greater alarm than on
the previous occasion, she went to the man
and told him that his dickies were again
ruined, in spite of all her exertions, 'and,
added she, Il believe Satan himself is in my
house at work. After quizzing her to his
hearts content, our waggish paper dickey
wearer told the good woman where the diff
Guilty arose, and she returned home quite re-
lieved, for she had actually made up her mind
that something supernatural had got hold Of
her kettle.

a Good Story.

The Daily Evening Traveller tells the fol-
lowing good story. Is the wag not certain
apo;hecary who keeps not thousand miles
from the head of Broadway! 1t sounds like
Williams joke:
The PAPER DIcKIEs.-It is well known
that within the past year new wrinkle under
the sun has made its appearance. The novel;
ty is none other than paper dickies, and good
ones, too, made SO neatly that it is really hard
work to detect them. They of course are
good only for one term of service, and cannot
be washed, but they cost little or nothing, and
to poor old bach, who has no one to do his
washing and mending, it is as cheap to have a
new paper dickey every time he wishes a
clean one, as to have one made OF linen washed
twice week.
But we have story with regard to these
dickies worth telling. A certain wag in

age and obeisance Of his loyal ministers and
subjects. Then the firing of cannon announced
the close of the ceremony and the full opening
Of the Bairam. This continues four days, in
feasting, revelry. and special devotions. The
mosques are all lighted, and the minarets
illuminated at night. The coffee-houses are
crowded with Turks smoking, drinking coffee,
and listening to street singers and story telers.
Every Mussulman who can afford it, and es-
pecially every Mussulwoman, appears in new

This feast is kept in remembrance of the Pill
grims, and begins on the tenth month, Dhu'l-

grimage of Mecca, They there offer up
sheep, goats and samels, and eat part them
selves, while they distribute the rest to the
poor. Hence the nature of the festival at
Constantnople. The continued feast upon
mutton for four days is great luxury to the
poorer classes, for they ordinarily live almost
entirely upon vegetables and fruits-cucum-
bers and melons In summer, and figs and
grapes in autumn. The grapes here are in
deed delicious, the finest in clusters and fla
vor in the world. The ceremony of blessing
them has Just been finished, and we have them
now in great abundance. The priests go out
into the vineyards and pronounce benedic-
tion upon them for the use of man. After this
they are regarded healthful and good. Previ-
ously it is considered sin to pick or eat them.
The sin, however, is not often committed, for
they always receive the blessing as soon as
they begin TO ripen. They are 'sour grapes

What a Newspaper does without reward.

The result of my observations enables me
to state as a fact, that publishers of newspa-
pers are more poorly rewarded than any other
class of men in the United States who invest
an equal amount of labor, capital, and thought.
They are expected to do more service for less
pay, to stand more sponging and 'deadhead-
ing to puff and defend more people, and sorts
of people, without fee or hope of reward, than
any other class They credit wider and long
er, get oftener cheated, suffer more pecuniary
loss, and are oftener the victims of misplaced
confidence, than any other calling in the COM
munity People pay printers bill more re-
Iuctanty than any other. It goes harder with
them to expend dollar on valuable newspa-
per than ten on a useless gawgaw; yet every

The Last Of the Randolphs-A Nephew
of John Randolph.

A southern correspondent of the Home
Journal, sends it the following interesting
sketch g
&c During the summer of 1854 | had some
business transactions which called me to the
county of Charlotte, in lower Virginia. A mild
and lovely Sabbath morning found me seated
in one of the comfortably cushioned pews of
the village church at the Court House. As it
wanted few minutes to the hour of service,
my eye wandered over the large and respect
ful looking audience assembled, and was final
ly attracted by a very eccentric individual,
who was just entering-a rather aged man,
tall, of dark complexion, long white hair wav-
ing plentifully over his shoulders, and an
equally venerable beard flowing on his breast.
His step was active and graceful, his form
erect and manly. But his peculiar actions
were in striking contrast to his dignifed ap-
pearance. At first | thought him only eccen-
trio, but few moments of further observation
proved to me that he was insane.
Immediately on entering the pew he knelt
towards the wall, crossed himself, and, appa-
rently, repeated prayer. He then sat down,
drew out white cambria, delicately per-
fumed, wiped his brow, removed his gloves,
stroked his hair and beard, took up his Bible,
kissed it and read, examined his cane, used his
handkerchief again-and all the time keeping
himself in constant motion. | say all the
time, but, occasionally, he was passive for a
few minutes-his attention, apparently, aroused
by some truths from the minister,-but these
times were rare. His countenance assumed
all kinds of expressions. Contempt, alarm,
pleasure, earnestness, sorrow and anger, fitted
across it in rapid succession. 1t reminded me
more of what children call making faces than
anything else.
After the services were over, 1 ascertained
that this gentleman was no other than the
nephew of John Randolph, of Roanoke. He
calls himself Sir John St. George Randolph !;
himself remarked with bitterness, during his
last days, that their blood flowed in the veins
of but one single scion, and he was deaf, dumb
and insane. So much tor human greatness
The subject of this sketch-although physical
ly, and now mentally, defective-had mind
cultivated in the highest degree. In his youth
he was sent to Paris, where, under the protec-
ton of celebrated able, he received thor
ough education. Having the capacity TO re-
ceive, and the wealth to command, no pains
were spared in the improvement of his intel
lectual faculties. But it was labor lost for,
on returning to his home in Virginia, he met
with, and loved a young lady, whom he ad-
dressed, but was refused on account of his ply
sical defects. On becoming aware of the truth
he was plunged in the most profound grief,
from which he was at last aroused, but
insane.
He has considerable wealth, which is man.
aged by his friends and, being harmless, he
comes and goes as he pleases, and is gratified
in all his whims. Wrecked as his mind is,
he still commands respect and his peculiar
manners do not attract the attention of his ac-
quaintances, or excite merriment, as one would
suppose. b."
