BIsMARcK's CALcULATIoNs.-On of the
sharp Partisan Journalists, investigating the
causes of the war, attributes il 10 the glebis-
ttte. Count Bismarck, he says, carefully
watched all that was done in Paris early in
The year. "Of the army" he said, '.2s5 ,G57
soldiers voted Yes, and 46 ,210 voted No--to-
ial, 331 SIT. This" he argued, 'is the full
amount that Napoleon can bring into the
field .at short notice." Therefore, Moltke,
taking the same view, prerafations for ac-
repting the expected challenge from the En-
peror Were. quietly but earnestly made in
Germany, and when the challenge came a
German army marched into France instead
OF French army invading Germany. 1t ap-
pears that, as Bismarck had counted, Naro-
leon had only $4,000 soldiers ready for action.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun writes from Louisa county, Va. ::
'In my brief sojourn up here l have
seen no less than three young white
men with a eleanly shaved strip Of
scalp from their forehead to the napes
Of their neeks, the strip in each in
stance being about one inch and q
half in width. On inquiry I learned
that these youths belong to the guard
employed by the contractors on the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad to watch
the convicts at work on the road, and
that the shaved scalp was the penalty
Of falling asleep while on duty. AS
1 know OF no law authorizing this
punishment for the offense named, I
suppose it is inflicted and submitted
to by private agreement between the
guards and the contractors. Those I
have seen were on visit home, and
had had the remainder OF their hair
clipped as short Rs posIble.n

Superstition Of the Alaska Indians.

Superstition Of the Alaska Indians.
A correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin writes as follows from
Sitka: 1t may be unknown to your
readers that the Indians Of some pOr-
tions Of this Territory have been in
the habit Of sacrificing the lives OF
one OF more slaves on the death of
any one Of their chiefs or medicine
men. The custom is based on the
suppositiOn that in the spirit land the
services Of such slaves are necessary
to the comfort and well being of the
departed, and to avoid the trouble Of
employing such in that happy hunt
ing ground, they dispatch one of his
human chattels at the same time
the spirit Of the warrior chief takes
its upward fight. An instance Of
this occurred here three weeks ago.
About ten o'clock the sentinel on the
palisade gate, leading to IndiantOWn,
was attracted by the Wailing cry Of q
squaW. Inquiring the cause Of her
distress, she informed him that her
son was tied up preparatory to being
stabbed-the usual mode Of dispatch
ing them-fOr the purpose above men-
toned The commandant Of the post
was notified, and an officer was sent
to rescue the intended victim Of such
barbarity. On the officers arrival, a
strange sight presented itself. On a
bed lay the dying chief; an intelli-
gent looking boy Of ten or twelve
years Of age, bound hand and foot,
looked the incarnation Of dispair.-
Around him, with drawn Knives,
stood the relatives Of the dying man,
at whose signal they would be buried
in the vitals Of the trembling youth.
The sOmbre gloom Of the apartment,
lit up itfully by the smOuldering
FIRE; the wild, unearthly sound Of the
tig-tigl, and wailing death-ery of the
tribe outside the house, made up a pic
ture to be appreciated only by a wit
ness Of the scene. The officer imme-
diately released the boy and brought
him to the garrison, where he was
kept until the family Of the departed
warrior promised not to mOlest him
in the future. This has been the sec
Ond instance Of the kind occurring
here since our occupation of the Ter
ritOry.

THE CHINESE pOMESTICS.


The Chinese are so quick to learn,
and so fond Of appearing skillful, that
they will attempt things for the first
time, and do them well, with the air
Of an old expert A friend Of ours,
who has q Chinaman for q cook, feels
sure that a good many Of the dishes
that he prepares are extempOraneOus,
but wonderfully successful limitations
that he has never prepared them be-
tore, but simply kept his bright little
eyes, at some time or other. on the
operation This man-servant is a
marvel. He keeps the kitchen i'm
naculately clean, but the lady Of the
house scarcely ever sees him working.
And all his culinary operations are
carried on without fuss, confusion or
dirt. 1t is almost like being in heaven.
Another friend, in illustration Of the
quiekuess of our Celestial visitors, tells
Us what he saw at a church in San
Francisco. Two strangers entered
and took a seat in frOnt ola Chinanan.
He had no book, but upon seeing one
Of the strangers searching for the
hymn, he leaned forward, took the
book from him, turned down the cor
ners Of the leaves between his forefin-
ger and thumb, and in a tWinkling
Openedit at the right place, and pO-
litely handed il back. The man was
so surprised that he could hardly sing.
But he was destined to q still greater
astOnishment, for not having noticed
that the second verse OF the last hymn
was to be omitted, he began to sing il,
and was tapped on the shoulder by
the vigilant ChinRman, who quietly
put his finger on the third stanZa. We
ger lost his breath entirely.
Chinaman learn the language with
wonderful eelerity; and they ara neat,
industrious, frugal and harmless
Surely there is room for some Of them
in such rOOmy country as this, where
so many families are boarding in great
and at high prices with
their servants.
