MORE OF RoDMAN's DoINGs.-It is reported
that Rodman, Brooklyn's defaulting deputy col
lector, has plundered the Long Island club of
SlO, 600. Rodman was the first treasurer of the
club, and a number of members, when the club
wanted money, signed a note for the above
amount. This note Sprague got hold of, and
has given it as part of security to make good
Rodman's defalcation. An examination of the
books is being made. Rodman refuses to make
any statements whatever. His counsel has ad-
vised him to make no disclosures, and says he
has a good defense.

Lanterns in China.

A Chinaman and his lantern are insep-
arabic. Let him start on any errand
which is likely to occupy him until sun
set, and his lantern will be the first ar
ticle that he lays hands on to carry with
him. Even on the brightest moonlight
night he considers it his drty to pro-
vide himself with artificial light and
it is curious sight, at a large fire at
night, to see the crowds which fill the
streets, every man with his lantern held
aloft, although the practice originated,
no doubt, in the absence of any system
of public lighting for the streets and
highways. The lantern has none the
less it uses IN daylight. Suspended
shops, it declares the surname of the
proprietor within, IN huge characters,
and no respectable domicile is without
one. Indeed, all lanterns, whether car
ried in the hand or otherwise, are in
scribed with the surnames of their
owners, so that, while walking the
street of a night, a man can always dis
cern that his friend Jones or Robinson
is approaching long bofore his figure is
discernible. Official persons show their
titles on their lanterns, not their names,
rule which is frequently abused by
vagabonds, who have only to show a
lantern inscribed ''The Magistrate" to
be able to extract money from the weak
and unwary. Wealthy families and Off
cials affect the large, globular lantern ;
the common classes smaller one, of
cylindrical shape. The characters are
always inscribed in red or black paint,
save in time of mourning, when the blue
is employed. Lanterns form an impor-
tant adjunct to all processions-idola-
trous, hymeneal and funereal-and on
such occasions, the larger the lantern,
the more imposing is its effect consid-
cred
