Opium Smoking.

correspondent of the Boston journal, In
his last letter from China, writes OF this
custom as follows: .s,s,77e. =. ..a ....ae

smoking ON the steamers during the pas

ma by the East India Company, is first
reduced from a. solid to liquid form by
boiling it in water. When ready for
the pipe it is about the consistency OF
tar. 1t is prepared and put up in little
tin boxes by the chemist, being brought
from India in the solid cake. 1t Is SO
powerful in its effects that q hundredth
part of an ounce is sfficient to intoxlcate

. Chinese Embassy.

The writer, through the interpreter,
Teh, had a conversation with the physi-
clan of the Chinese Embassy, Dr. Tso,
when in Boston, principally for the pur-
pose of learning whether, if an educated
female physician should be sent out from
this country, she would be favorably re-
ceived With egard to the present con-
nection OF women with the profession
here, the doctor stated that the practice
of midwifery was wholly in their hands;
that they were not taught the art in any
schools, but had books on the subject to
read This statement agrees with other
authorities. For example, DIR. William
Lockheapt, an English missionary physi
clan, after twenty years practice in
China, in work published in 1861, says,
il alluding to this department of the
profession, ''this practice is in China left
entirely to the women. 1t may be OBJ
served, in passing, that the Chinese race
does not appear to have run out in con-
sequence. Teh remarked that when the
empresses (wives of the emperor were
attended by physicians in case of SICK
ness, the doctor was not allowed to see
or touch the patient a string was tied
around her wrist, and she sat on one
side of window while the doctor sat on
the other and ascertained the state of
the pulse by holding the string between
his thumb and finger. Among the COM
mon people, he said, the doctor could
feel of the women's pulse and see her
tongue. In reply to the question as to
sending out an educated female physician
to teach their women the medical art,
and to practice, the doctor expressed his
approval of the idea without qualifica-
ton. The interpreter, for himself, said
it would be very good laan, and it
would receive encouragement from the
government officials. The other inter
prefer, Fung, coming into the room at
this moment, and having the proposition
stated to him, said, "good, very good" f"
Teh, being asked if he would not bear IN
mind this interview, and when the lady
came out give her all the encourage
ment he could, said, "yes, yes, certainly y
The writer had previously conferred
with Mr.. Burlingame, who expressed his
decided approval Of the plan of sending
out a medical educated women to PekiI
and his readiness to do what he could
to insure the success of her mission
There is every reason to believe that
doctress of the right stamp wonld be a
popular parsonage among all classes. and
especially in the higher grades OF society
She would be welcomed to the private
apartments of the Expresses, while the
doctor sat outside holding the string and
asking questions through third person.
It NAV here be stated, for the informa
ton of any interested, that the Mission
arv Boards are ready to, send out female
missionary physicians to Pekin and other
stations. .l.

into the habit and there is no breaking
off. 1t is as impossible for smoker to
leave off, as for boat to ascend the rap
ids of Niagara. The victim is doomed.
1t IS a costly vice, and the very poor
cannot indulge in it. 1t costs an in
veterate smoker about SIS per month,
and the vice in short time leads to
listlessness, Incidence, neglect of bust
ness, incapacity, disinclination for labor,
the breaking down of the constitution,
disease, and horrible death. The Chi
nese have 4 saying that opium smokers
make the night day and the day
night, and those who give themselves up
to the pipe, are called ''opium devils"
But here are the smokers, two of them
lying on mat with a pillow under their
heads-a little tin box of the opium, a
lighted lamp and pipe between them,
already tor descent to their paradise.
The pipe has clay bowl and a wooded
stem eighteen inches long. One of the
smokers dips wire into the opium
takes up a globule the size of pea. puts
it into the bowl holds it to the flame of
the lamp, takes the smoke into the lungs
through the mouth, letting it out thro'
his nose. A halfdozen whlffs will use
up the globule He refills the pipe,
hands it to his companion, who takes
his turn. 1t is a study TO watch the
happy feeling. At first they are hag-
gard and woe-begoLe the hanker is on
them-they are restless and uneasy. A
few whiffs and they feel better-refresh-
ed and invigorated; a few more and
they are happy; another turn and they
are silly. One of them has a counte-
nanc, now which has a good counterpart
to the drunken Bacchus recently dug up
from the ruins of the temple of that god
under the shadow of the AcropoliS, at
Athens. He grins, screws up bis eyes
giggles, makes funny faces, laughs, not
broadly with "a Legitimate humcr, but a
fine te-he-he-te-he, Indicative of the last
stage of Stiffness. Another pull at his
pipe, and. he is down in his paradise
among the gods and flowers. He will
be happy awhile, but there is hell be-
Yond--devils innumerable, tortures unut-
terable. .... ...f.r1. e. a7a.. .3-.e-

than flies; down to the alder bush which
bends and sways beneath his tiny weight.
The robin is still here, but only as a bird
of passage; the focks remaining are of
MIR. Mieawber's family, ready to embark
for Australia, in their restless. useless
activity. On the Southerly of the pine
woods which open out on berry pastures,
they may be seen in the morning. but
scarcely heard-their only note a sharp
signal call, which bears the relation to
their spring songs that a rifle shot does
to the tune of flute. Dodging through
the alders, one still sees, occasionally, a
cat-bird, but tie single note that gener-
ally provokes dislodging stone from
the juvenile passer-by i'll summer is not
heard, nor does he attempt to recall a
strain of the tune which he, as a thrush,
and allied to the mocking bird, knows
he ought to be able to sing, and SO is al
ways unsuccessfuly endeavoring to re-
member, but contents himself in forever
moving on. Far off on the hillsides the
trident notes of the blue jay are to be
heard, and we know he is getting his
pipes into order for the winter singing,
and laying up memories of promising
oaks, from which to draw the acorn sup
plies rf .
Around the house one hears no more
the hot scintillations of the cicada,
sounding as though blown from bOund@
less wastes of burning sand but the
multitudInous voice of crlckets instead,
creaking through the still hours of the
night; still, when some ambitious three
months cockerel, remembering his new
ly acquired capacity, breaks forth into
intermittent, abridged growing, and the
grave seniors of the harem, to show that
folly is not exclusively youthful attri-
butte, join in the concert that disturbs
the rest of the neighborhood.
These things among many the thought
ful observer sees, and feels thankful for
the goodness that blends SO much of in
terest and beauty even with our rustic
life-Sprina1fetd Republican.

A Minister Ordained by Women,

A new incident in the history of the
church occurred at Marblehead. Mass. on
the I'd. At the ordination of VIM. Gar
risOn Haskell as Lastor of the First Uni
yersallist Church of that place, The Rev.
Phebe A. Hanaford, of bingham, deliv-
cred the charge, and the Rev. Olympia
Brown, of Weymouth, the prayer This be-
log, so far as am aware, the first occa-
sion when women haye taken leading
part III the ordination of any church, it
had seemed to be worthy of.notice in the
ReUOt,tiOR, and matter of interest to
the world
A novel incident of the service was
the laying on of hands, conducted by
four ministers, Mrs. Hanaford and Miss
Brown participating. The charge by
the Rev. Mrs. Hanaford was as beauti-.
tul as the eloquent words and forcible
manner of that spiritual woman could
make 1t. She commenced by saying =.
George, my dear brother, you have
chosen 'Phebe, servant of the church Of
Hiugham' to give you. the solemn charge
aud to dellevr unto you the oracles Of
God, one of which it is your belief that
there is neither tribe, nor caste, nor sex.
in the religion of Christ Jesus" Near
the close OF her remarks she expressed
her assurance that he would succeed be-
cause, among other reasons, she had
shown by choosing a woman to take
this part of the service his views, and
had thrown down the gauntlet to those
who would place women and idiots. side
by side on The statute book" As
whole, her charge was mastery, woman
ly, and more impressive than usually
listened TO on such occasions The
prayer of Miss Brown also deserves es-
pecim notice for its ferver and eloquence.
