Street Scenes in Pekfp.

In the busy streets of trade the scene
is most animated. Thousands of scar
let signs with gilded Inscriptions hang
from oblique poles raised in front OF
shops. Carts, palanquins, mules,
camels, coolies, soldiers and merchants
throng the streets, while to add to the
confusion mynads of children play
about your legs, and the old men car
rying their kites toward the walls add
to the singularity of the scene. The
kites, representing dragons, eagles,
etc., are managed with a dexterity
which comes only from lifelong
practice. They are sometimes furnish
ed with molisn attachments which imi
tate the songs of birds or the voices OF
men. The pigeons also in Pekin are
frequently provided with q very light
kind of eolian harp, which il secured
tightly to the two feathers of their
tails, so that in flying through the air
the harps sound harmoniously. This
curious, indistinct note had excited
the counts attention, and he learned
it's cause from pigeon which fell dead
at his feet, having in its fight struck
itself against the cord of one of the
kites. Their use was explained by the
natives as protection against the
hawks, which are common in Pekin.-

ssspsaketssis Rev v!snfsF ChkHee, .o9I nj
Last Friday evening &th6 building was
crowded. epd Mtss Qhsffee was ,eensid-
erably animated. He was. sitting ,ips 4
'legs CROSSED, and hiBf voice sending forth
a volume of song. The upper leg was
swinging majesticaiiy, the motion in
creasihg as the singing advanced. They
had just reached that part of the hymn
where it says, 'tThen t can safaly reach
my home, my God, my heaven, my all, !"
and Mr.. Chaffee was doing his level
best and had just got out-... Then
can safely reach my home," when the
oscillating limb came suddenly in cen.
tact with miserable dog that had in
some way got into the house, and sent
it flying and howllng under one Of the
benches. OF course MI. C6affee was
surprised, but when a little woman
popped up in the gallery and shook an
ominous.iooking umbrella Ut him, and
cried in voice Of passion, *''You kick
that dog again. you Illinoy giraffe, and
you won't sa1ely reach your home," he
was more than astonished-he was
fairly macadamized. He subsequently
told our informant that che never be-
fore was so completely fabergasted, 80
thoroughly circumbobulated," what
ever that means.-Danb,.yy Nesus.

Mosquitoes Of the Red River OF the
ENrth.

Red River Letter to the New York Times.
Your readers who have fished in Ad-
irondack swamps, or lived on New Jer-
sey flats, may fancy they know some-
thing of mosquitoes, but it is all a
mistake. These creatures here rise in
q cloud; they are terrible to man and
beast; they make sleep unendurable
without q netting. People carry mos
quito netting in this region in their
pockets, as they do handkerchiets else
where. I saw men digging at road
track, each with his pocket head net,
and they could hardly get on with their
work. A gentleman at Duluth told me
they used to be as plenty here (though
they have mainly disappeared),
and that 1t was considered as
much piece of etiquette to
take off your coat and shake it, before
entering friends house, as it would
be now to wipe your feet. Ny excellent
friend, Rev. DR.. Rodgers. undertook to
address religious meeting recently at
Hawley, in the evening, and both he
and tho audience were fairly driven oat
'by~ these little pests. ~ heard one
authentic instance Of saw,mill being
stopped by. mosquitoes. 1t was the
workmen, !howesef; and hot the ma
chinery that was impeded. Horses are
not unfrequently killed by them. A gen
tleman told me yesterday that in hard
days ride he is often obliged to stop
and clean the nostrils of the horse of
these insects, while the hide is black
with them,
