SOCIAL LIrE OF THE CHINESE
MANNER OF BErRorHAL.


BetrothaI, in China, is a matter with
which the parties most deeply concerned
have generally little TO do. Their pa
rents or guardians manage their betrOthal
much in the following manner:
A person is employed rs a gO-between,
or matCh-maker, between the families.
The proverb says: Without a gO-be.
tween, a betrOthal cannot be effected. "
This person may be either a man or a
woman. Usually the go-between en-
gagged by the family Which first makes
the proposal, Is employed by both fanli-
lies in subsequent negotiations.
The negotiation is generally COM
menced by the family to which the bay
OF young man belongs. The gO-betWeen
IS furnished with a card, stating the an
cestrai name, and the eight characters
which denote the hour, day, month and
year Of birth of the candidate for matri-
mony This card he takes 10 the family
indicated, and tenders proposal
Of marriage in regard TO a daughter in
behalf of a son OF the party employing
him. 1.-THE parents or guardians OF The
girl, after instituting inquiries about the
family making it, are willing 10 enter
tain the proposal, they consult a fortune
teller, who decides, after considering the
eight characters which indicate the time
OF the birth OF the parties, whether the
beu0thal would be iittingand aUspiciou-.
If a favorable decision is made, the go
between is furnished with a card indicat-
ing the hour, day, month and year when
the girl they are willing to hatroth was
born, which he delivers To the family
who employed him. The parents Of the
lad then consult a tortUne-teller in
regard to the proposed betrothment,
him with the characte!s
which Indicate the ages of the boy and
the girl If this fortune-teller pro-
favorably, and the two families
agree in regard TO the details Of the mar
riage, a formal assent is made to the be-

Fsv perscns are aware Of the value and
variety OF dogs. varying, as they do, IN
weight from one hundred ana eighty
bohnds TO less than one pound, and ia
vslue from Hve hundred dollars TO less
than nothing. A description Of tbe'difer,
ent varieties may not be- uniDteresting;
The Siberian bloodhound weighs about
one hundred and sixty pounds, and
measures forty inches in girtb. and is
worth neatly. FIVE hundred dollars The
st. Bernard deg, which Is Of q buff or
light.red color. is very large and valuable.
The Newfoundland dog, when pure, 10
nearly black, aud its pups are worth from
ten 10 twenty dollars. The shepherd dog,
or Scotch colly, is wonderful for its pa
thence, fidelity aud bravery. IL is worth
from $50 to $500. The English mastlll,
. good watrh dog, Is worth from SIS 10
$25. OF terriers, the black aud tan is
most admired. 1t varies in weight from
one pound to twenty-five ponnds, and 10.
cfeases in value as it decreases in weight.
A member Of the bar in this city has one
which weighs less than pound, and is
the smallest we have ever seen. 1t could
not be bought for $3.50. -4a.
Terriers are often crossed with the Italian
grsyhouud. producing very delicate. but
extremely useless dog The Scotch terrier
is the hardest ofldogs, is,very ouregeous,
and is worth from $40 1880. the Scotch
deerhouud is the rarest and most valuable
of hunting dogs. They ore very rare, and
are owned principally by the nobility OF
England They are worth $lOO each -
The beagle is the smallest OF the hound
kiad, of superior scent and endurar ce, aud
Is the best sort OF frsbbit hunter. English
greybonnds, The heetest Of dogs, are worth
from $25 to 500 each. The Italian grey
hound is merely parlor dog. The pure
breed is rare and valuable, 6ne one
being worth $3.50.
There is o great variety of pointers. set
'ters, and spaniels. The Prince Charles
variety is the most valuable of spaniels -
He is supposed to have originated in Japan,
where similar breed exists. He has a
round head, short nose, long, curly ears,
large foil eyes, black and tan color, and
never weighs over ten pounds.
They have been sold in England at
auction, and have brought as high as So.
600 each. The coach dog is from Deu
mark, aud is not Of much value. Some
Arctic sled dogs and E quimaux dogs were
brought by DR.. Kane, One was kept
for long while at the United Stale,
Hospital, at West Philadelphia. They
are tox-like in shape, remarkable for eclivi J
and vigilance, and have au acuer sense Of
hearing than any other dog. Most Of the
dogs about our streets are spurious, and
not even halfbreeds -Pliladelphia Press.

+ MANLY MEN Certain snobs of the
Southern press, write chronicle complain Is
that the negroes, in place of showing a
thankful and humble disposition for their
freedom, assume airs of equality, aud no
longer take the gutter when passing white
men. These complaints go far toward
establishing the claims of equal
ity of races, and certainly prove lh t
emancipation came not day 500 soou.-
The coIored people would be up6t for free

attitude Of slaves For our part, we
never fully appreciated the life services Of
Abraham Lincoln until We had connected
the manly bearing of colored troops on the
ferry boats, in the railroad cars, and in
the streets, with bis policy. The negroes
may, perhaps, be somewhat ex,ravagant in
their demonstration at their to long deferred
freedom, but much may be pardoned to
men who 6pd themselves for the first time
in possession of themselves, their wives,
children and earnings. The only wonder
is that they stood the wong SO patiently

Every valley through which a river flows,
has its own little streams 10 swell the
current; every mountain side at whose foot
the river winds, has its own springs and
torrents to pour down into the increasing
tide; every rain that falls, and snow that
melts, adds i,s measure to The growing
fulness that is poured at last into the
ocean.
The influence OF Gods truth and Spirit, is
at frst, like the stfesmlet where you can
see every pebble on the bottom, aud where
nothing bat leaves and insects are borne
onward by the tide. When you have
persevered in following down the courese
