BURMESE WREsTLERs.-Ko-Phoo and negro en-
tered the arena first and commenced operations. The
preliminary maneuyers between the opponents were
exceedingly amusing. IL Itappeared to me that Sam
bO did not exactly comprehend the kind of warfare
in which he was to engage in, for he commenced
sparring out after the most approved fashion, If
he were expected to take part in pugilistic en-
counter. The Burman kept about him at little
distance, dodging round with peculiar kind Of
hop, with his body slightly bent towards bis an-
tagonist, and thrusting out his hand and dragging
it back again, with motion as if he wanted to
touch the others flesh, but burst not for fear of
getting burnt. Sometimes he would with amazing
quckness thrust his face pretty closely within the
others reach, when the negro would make bic
straight out would be sure to miss his object,
amidst screams of laughter from the spectators.
Amusing as this sort of fun was, we were begin
ming to think il was m0notonous, when the Bur-
man made quick and sudden motion, seized
Sambo near the hip with one hand, and with
maneuver, executed with such suddenness and
dexterty to be UNDESIRABLE to any but the most
attentive spectator, threw him over his head, and
brought him fat on his back upon the saw dust.
This was evidently a different sort of thing from
what Sambo had bargained for. He arose, before
the plaudits announcing Ko-Phoo's victory had
ceased, and resOlutely SPARED out again he made
a blow at the champion, which that individual
luckily eontrived to avoid, or he would probably
nave Deef hurI, anu ioilo"eu uP 'ne ettsSA fiSpf-
ously. Ko-Phoo, however, watched his opportu-
nifty. and repeated the achievement, this time
hinging Sambo with such force upon the ground,
that he was glad to retire from the arena, leaving
Ko-P Phoo to his prizes Of silk and muslin. The
artillery man came next. He was q tall, stout,
muscular Irishman, and apparently q scientific
wrestler and he, too turned out no match for ko-
Phoo He was, however, to do him justice. a far
more formidable opponent to the Burman than was
the negro, and Ko-Phoo seemed to appreciate the
fact. He was unequal to the Burman in skill not
withstanding, and he, also, had to endure the
modification of defeat.-Fou Years IN Bnrnah

Prevalence Of 1pfnnticide in China.

Much has been said of infanticide in China
but it appears to be exaggerated. Children
are generally worth something; parents might
sell them, or at any rate could take them to
the founding hospital, of which there is gem
orally one in every city; but during the fam
inc alluded to, there were doubtless many
mothers who were unable to supply the natu-
raj nourishment to their offspring, and the
infants died, or perhaps were put an end to.
1t struck me at the time that many infants
must be destroyed, and went to the small
tower, not for from Shanghai, into which the
bodies of children are cast. The tower covers
well, and stands about twenty-four feet
high; at the upper part are two small arched
windows, through which the children arc
thrown. On climbing up to look down
through the windows, was Mortified to find,
that not only was the well full, but the tower
piled to the top with bodies
The keen frosty weather prevented putre-
faction giving earlier. notice of the dead pile
there accumulated. The infants were wrap
ped in mats or old clothes; but there was
nothing to lead to the belief that they were
thrown there alive, or that they had been
killed; and without better evidence than ex-
lists, the Chinese at Shanghai should have
the benefit of the doubt, and we may believe
that most of the children died natural death,
and were deposited in this recognized recep-
tacle for their corpses, to save the expense OF
a regular burial. AT the foot of the tower
remains of smell fires were visible, showing
that offsprings had been made to "ioss," !"
through that most glaring of cheats, paper
syce The strongest evidence against the
tower is its proximity to Buddhist nunnery
these are often most disreputable places.
There was one at Foochow, in which the
nuns behaved so grossly that they were put
to death; and the funds of the nunnery con-
fiscated to the Government.-TdosIOe Years

How Uncle Sam is Defrauded of his Land.
The Washington correspondent of the New
Orleans Commercial Bulletin in speaking of
the Homestead Bill, now before the Senate
gives the following illustration of the man.
ner in which Government lands are disposed
of; .r O.
Let me give you one instance how land
frauds can be and are practiced. Congress
gave quarter section (l60 acres) to each
soldier or volunteer who actually served in
the war of 1912, the proof of service being
his name upon the pay roll Of the army or the
volunteer corps actually in service. A bill
was subsequently introduced and passed, ali-
thorizing verbal testimony of service, as it
was assured there were few q very few
hard cases where parties had served but
whose names could not be found on the rolls
Eight thousand men(regulars and volunteers)
were at the battle of Plattsburg when Sir
George Provost and the British were repulsed
in September 1914, all the real survivors of
which, whose names were ON the rolls, of
course, obtained their 100 acres each, but
under the law authorizing oral testimony,
the Land office has actually issued ticenty-
SeUen thousand land warrants to the SURVIVORS,
every man and mothers son of whom have
proved in the most satisfactory and conclu-
sive manner that he was at this battle
Twenty-seven thousand survivors of eight
thousand men after an interval of more than
forty yearsl This fact has been stated to me
personally by the present Secretary of the
INTERIOR and you will see it officially stated
on the floor ofthe Senate whenever the de-
bate on the Homestead Bill comes up The
proofs in all these cases were so complete and
regular that there was no setting them aside,
and though in the aggregate they were mon
strous lie, yet they could not be rejected IN
diUtdually. Now, ifsuch things can be and
are done under the very nose as it were of
the Government, in near and thickly settled
States like Vermont, New Hampshire, New
York, etc., what chance is there to detect
frauds out in the distant and unsettled terrific
res of the Western States, or to prove that
John Nokes, under one hundred different
names, is not an actual settler, on as many
quarter sections, not one of which perhaps
five white men besides the surveyors have

Editorial Dissensions-A Peculiar Literary
journal


journal.
OF the New York Saturday Press the
New York correspondent of the Charleston
Courier writes as follows: .-
We have sharp and lively weekly news
paper here, called the Saturday Press. Its
editorial gallery combines some queer
features. There are Yankees and Southern
ers in it; descendants of the Quakers and of
and moral philosophers. 1t is the most orig
inal paper / ever read, and has some very
capital things in its columns occasionally.
The originator and present proprietor is from
Boston, a Mr.. II. W. Clapp, jr. He has made
more reputation than money out of it so far
One partner having sunk what he put in, re-
tired. Clapp now offers thirty shares for sale
at two thousand dollars. 1t is pity such
paper should need funds. 1t ought to bepub-
lished in Fairy Land.
The contributors and editors of the Press
usually get along very well. But if they
were angels, which they are not, they would
have to clash and cry out once in a while.
When Miss Bateman appeared as EVAN
geline" at the Winter Garden, the Fenel-
leonitist, who does the drama in the most
Frenchy style, was down on the young lady
most ferociously. The editor was friend of
the family, and he wouldn't stand it. Mr..
Fenelleonitist received his walking papers.
Then Bohemia was made to howl. This
affair continued while the young lady from
Acadia sojourned among us. Upon her de-
parture the savage dramatic butcher was
taken back to the bosom of his fellow-labor-
ers, and hear this afternoon Saturday the
Bohemian's holiday, that all the tribe are in
happy council, eating good dinner, drinking
old bourbon, and drawing it anything but
mild. .. n..uaI .u
