CHINESE AT CORNELL UNIvERsITY.-We
recently announced that "a class in Chinese
had been formed at Cornell and the Tribune
now furnishes fuller particulars. Chevalier
Rochrg is the professor in "heathen Chinee,"
and first met his class, numbering about 40.
last week. The language will be useful to the
geographer, the antiquarian aud historian #

olOgist, and to the astronomer, American

guage will certainly be of great value In
China there are many opportunities for for
eigners in such departments as civil engineer
ing, chemistry, agriculture. teegraphy, clerk
ing, etc. Ihe new organization of the Gus
tom mouse service of China employs for its
higher officers all foreigners, to whom large
salaries are paid. Prof Rochrig begins, not
by teaching the alphabet, or the sounds of
the letters, and then how to speak the Ian
guage, but exhibits series of grotesque and
apparently senseless characters, and detiues
them; he requires his class to write these out
and to fix them in their memory, which is
not difficult, though all of the characters
were once the pictures of the words they rep
resent, and have been perverted in their use
and now bear no resemblance to their ORIGIN
ais. The language at fisst was wholly picior-
ial, but gradually the images became words
and in various ways changed until the slobt,
est resemblance to the objects could NOT be
traced. In the Chinese language there is no
such thing as a fiorid style or beautiful stvle

ROMAN CATHOLIC KIDNAPPING IN ROME
The Jesuts at Rome have from time imme-
mortal made no scruple of Kidnapping Jew
ish children and immuring them in converts
till their native faith and feeling were entire
ly supplanted by Romanism. The case of the
MOrtara boy became historic few years ago
from the remonstrances that it called forth
from the European powers, but another has
now come to issue that shows that the fearful
business was not abandoned. A Jewish boy
Giuseppe Coen, then nine years old, was stol-
en- from venal shoemaker, to whom he had
been apprenticed, in July, 1864, by the priests
of the Catecumeni convent. When the boy
did not come home at night, his parents
sought him of the shoemaker, who, certain of
the protection of the papal police, at length
admitted that he had delivered him to the fri
ars. The distracted mother flew to the COLI
vent, but was denied admittance and all
knowledge OF her son. Day after day she
visited the place and sat in the street before
it, watching for some token of her boy, and
beseeching permission to see him, till at
length the angry priests procured her arrest
and Imprisonment. At this point, the French
minister felt bound to interfere for humani-
ty's sake and procured her release. She had
now become insane, and the family removed
to Leghorn, to take her away from the scene
OF her bereavement, and there she regained
her reason. After the artillery of September
20 brought liberty to Rome, the Jewish par
ent were among the first In the throng of re-
turning exies, but with impolitic eagerness
attempted themselves to regain their son,
thus giving the priests time to conceal him.
Chevalier Lipari, the temporary Italian mag
istrate, however, instituted most vigorous
search, and unearthed the kidnapped boy
from private dwelling. But he was worse
than dead to his parents. Grown to young
man, he was utterly cold in his demeanor, re-
PEELED their warm Jewish affection, stigmatiz.
ed them as heretics whom he could not recog-
nize and utterly refused to return TO their
roof. Being still minor, he was at length
compelled to return to Leghorn with them,
though they signed a compact not to tamper
with his religious training.
Chevaller Lipari did not consider his work
done, but pursued and arrested Father Imperi
the chief conspirator among the priests, who
will be brought to trial. Such piece of
work as this illustrates the new regime at
Rome, but suggests further that so long as the
Leonine city is beyond the law, the work of
reform is only half accomplished.

GOOD NEWS FROM MIssrssIpPI.-It is
pleasant sign Of peace and progress to see that
Mississippi is already moving for better ac-
commodations and tenderer care of her poor
and afflicted. DR.. Foster of Vicksburg is one
of committee of the Legislature to report on
a new institution for the care of the blind of
the State, and he is now north, studying the
progress and attainments of the several
States in this section, on this and kindred
subjects. His report of the political peace
and material prosperity of Mississippi is very
encouraging. The crops, the past season,
have been very good, and business in the
towns and cities has increased considerably.
BY comparison with other Southern States,
Mississippi is least disturbed and much more
progressive. The encouragement given TO
emigration is of the amplest and most gen.
erous character. The city of Vsksburg es-
pecially is advancing, and has already con-
tracted for Nicholson pavement in its princi-
pal street. The colored people are availing
themselves of the advantages open to them
with marked success; as an instance, the col
ored man, formerly the slave of JEFF. Davis,
who purchased the ex-chief's plantation OF
10000 acres, raised 1000 bales of cotton last
year, and an equal ,quantity this.

guage, making such changes in the order and
succession sIi of the words as are necessary.
This is shown in the numerals, which all ma
IONS call by different names, but understand
alike. The Chinese is truly a difficult Ian
Suage, having multitude of characters, quite
complicated. The grammatical relation OF
the words is omitted, the reader being obliged
to supply Land to use his Imagination freely.
Altogether it seems to be an algebraic Ian
guase, ahording excellent mental gymnastics.
The professor has studied the Chinese Ian
guase and literature, both ancient and mod
ern, very thoroughly, and is well prepared to
instruct students in it. He will first teach
the class the language of the present day, and
the modern literature, and then to those who
wish, he will give instruction in the ancient
literature and trace up the origin OF the Ian
guaSe. The textbook will soon be published
oy tne pI oiessor. Besides this, he is preparing
wofk on the Indian language, containing
sketches OF various hitherto nearly unknown
languages. AS soon as few preparations
have been completed, instruction can be Civ

Thunder in November is suggestive of Ru.
fus Choate's description of the climate of
New England, viz:
"Co.d to-day, hot tomorrow; mercury at
eighty degrees in the morning, with a wind
at southwest, and in three hours more sea-
turn, wind at east, thick fog from the very
bottom OF the ocean, and fall of forty degrees
of Fahrenheit; now so dry as to kill all the
beans in New Hampshire, then floods carry
ing off the bridges and dams on the Penob-
scot and Connecticut; snow in Portsmouth
in July, and the next day a man and yoke
of oxen killed by lightning in Rhode Island
you would think the world was twenty times
coming to an end! But 1 don't know how it
is; we go along; the early and the latter rain
falls each in his season, seed time aud harvest
do not fail. The sixty days of hot corn wealth
er are pretty sure to be measured out to us;
the Indian summer with its bland southwest
and mitigated sunshine brings all up; and on
the 25th of November. or thereabouts, being
Thursday, three millions of grateful people,
in meeting houses, or around the family board
give thanks for year of health, plenty and
happiness"

be had of Bailey & Noyes.
little while ago we read with pleasure the
first volume of the series entitled The Tone
masters, and now we have from the press of
Lee u Shepard the second volume, which is
devoted to Handel and Haydn. Like the pre-
vlous volume it is very interesting, and in the
form of domestic story collects the more i'm
portant part of the biographies of the great
composers, and instructs US the method and
peculiarities of their compositions and many
technicalities of the science of music. They
are valuable books for the young student.
They can be purchased of Dresser & Aver.
Vagabond Adcentures is the very appropriate
title of a little book-half Juvenile and half
grown up-just issued from the press of Fields
Osgood s. Co. 1t is the story of Ralph Keller
who, on account of domestic difficulty at home
ran away at the early age of eleven, and after
a couple of years of varied experiences as n
cabin boy and stewards assistant on hoard
lake steamers, becomes au honored member of
the burnt cork profession, aud finally, after
picking up fair education, sees Europe with
bundle and staff, at total money expense of
less than $500. We would not commend all his
experiences to the imitation of Young Ameri-
ca, by any means, but Mr.. Keeer gives us a
graphic sketch of real life in the lower stratum
of life. in which some of his years were spent,
and completely strips the romance from the

CLUB life in London has attained its great

CLUE life in London has attained its great
est perfection. In no other city in the world
are clubs so numerous, so arstocratic, or so
expensive. There are upwards OF fifty clubs,
in which all the professions and ranks of life
have representatives. The roll of these clubs
foots up over A. 900 members, and their ex-
penses over million pounds. When clubs
were first started they were regarded with
much hostility, as being antagonstc TO do
mestic life, and the ladies displayed an intense
spirit against them. The clubs, however, scr-
vived and fOurished under their enmity, and
it was found that they discouraged coarse
drunkenness, the prevalent vice of English
men; encouragedeocial intercourse-of which
ladies partook elsewhere, refined the man
ners OF the members, constituted courts of
honor, and tended most materially to the
manufacture of gentlemen. The London
clubs are private hotels on vast and magnif-
cent scale. They have billiard-rooms, coffee
rooms, ninepin-rooms, splendid libraries, sa-
looms, furniture and plate, of the costliest and
rarest description.

THERE was case lin the police court at
Boston Highlands last week OF particular in
terest TO pedders of split tickets at elections.
Isaac p. Graeg attended the Boston election
in the capacity OF vote distributor, and OBJ
tanning some Democratic votes from a dis
tributor of that party, proceeded to paste
on the name of a favorite candidate for the
purpose ,of deceiving unwary adherents OF
Adams. Mr.. Rogers. the Democrat of whom
he obtained the votes, seeing what he was do
ing, demanded the ballots back again, and on
Gragg's refusing to give them up snatched
them out of his hand. sThsreupon Gragg
sued him for assault, and won his case, the
judge decided that he had right to use
tickets peacefully procured as he saw fit, and
that no man had a right to take them away
by force. But we hope the practice of split
tickets will not become prevalent because it
is declared legal. 1t is a mean thing to do,
and very demoralizing to our politics and pol
iticianS.
