Horrors of a Cooiie Ship.

Everybody is acoueinted with the many
tales of horror which have made famous the
coolie trade. but it Is too generally thought
that those horrors are no longer enacted.
Still, the coolie ships, which are nearly as
bad as the former slave traders, continue to
ply on the Pacific ocean, as has been diplo-
matically divulged to the world in the recent
celebrated case of the ship Marie Loluse
This coolie trade is conducted especially be-
tween Macao, in China, and Callao, Peru,
where the unfortunate and decoyed Chinese
are used to extract the little guano yet re-
manning on the Chincha Islands, or to work
on the new beds discovered at Macabi, La
Independence, and other bays along the Pc
ruvian coast. The ships engaged IN the
coolie traffic are almost exclusively Italian
or Spanish. The last tragedy that occurred
in connection with that trade, happened on
the Sth of June last, on board the Italian
vessel Napoleone Camarero, which sailed
from Macao, with a crew Of 40 men, 663
coolies for Callao, and g 900 packets Of fire
works. After lapse of two days the in
terpreter discovered a plot among the
emigrants to seize the ship. The captain
Immediately ordered one half OF them 10 be
confined in the hold, but the next day those
who remained on deck armed themselves
with knives, Delaying pins, pieces of wood,
in short, anything they could lay their
hands on, and attacked the crew, who de-
Tended themselves with muskets aud reyolv-
ers. Tire coolies then massed themselves on
the forecastle and set fire to the vessel, hop
ing that the crew would set to work at the
pumps to extinguish the flames. During
that time they had also freed their comrades
and murdered the few sailors they could get
bold of. The captain, seeing what they
We're doing, ordered the boats to be lowered,
and left the ship with the remainder of his
men Some sailors who remained ON board,
with the doctor, the magazine man, and the
interpreter, were unable to prevent the
flames from reaching the fireworks, and the
ship blew up, scattering the fragments of
the mutineers in every direction under the
very eyes of the escaped crew.

A Pleasant Place.

A good story is told at the expense of a
somewhat inexperienced housekeeper in this
city who found herself one morning without
a servant to cook or wash. A few hours
trial convinced her that she must have help,
and she started out in search of a girl
After calling at several places without sue
cess, she was passing one of the. best resi-
dences in the city, and observed n tidy-look-
ing woman cleaning the yard. Hating,
she inquired of the woman whether she
knew of girl that could be hired. The
answer was in the negative. The lady
had by this time become desperate, and re-
solved to hire the woman before her, al
though she knew it was wrong to covet her
neigtb, : servant. In low tone of voice
she began to relate her troubles, and wound
up by urging the woman to leave Mis-
and come with her, offering her a dollar
more a week than she was then receiving
The woman answered that she liked her
place, and could not be induced t. give it
up. And she added
Besides, generally sleep with Mr.,
and don't think he would allow me to go
away"
The lady departed, utterly astoni>hed at
what she had heard. Her feelings may be
imagined when she afterward learned that
she had been talking with the mistress of
the mansion, and the wife Of one of our
most esteemed citizens.

RESISTING THE EVIL ONE.-At camp
meeting, not long ago, a man clad Ill a thih
linen suit, seated himself on one of the
ricketty benches beside fat man, who oc-
cupied full one-thiId of the concern. when
the services were ended the fat man arose,
and the gentleman in thin linen suddenly
began twisting about in a surprising man
ner while his countenance was signihcant
of mortal anguish.
His actions attracted the attention OF
some of the brethren, and one of them.
solemn-visaged individual, who looked as
though he had just swallowed pill, ap-
preached the writhing body, and laid his
hand on the mans shoulder and SAID:
'Brother, if you are resisting The cruel
promptings of the Evil One, strive manful-
ly, and you will triumph at last. Remem-
ber Jacob wrestled with the angel, and"
81 dunno but he did," interrupted tho
aponized man, ''but if Jacob had the seat
of his trousers and little of his hide caught
in a consarned crack he wouldn't feel like
raslin' with an angel or any other crlttef!

A Chinese Dentist.

In priority of time the Chinese are ahead
of us in some of the arts of civilization. but
in most of the finer and higher kinds of art,
as surgery, etc, their proficiency Is little re-
moved from halfsavage bungfing. cor
respondent of the Cincinnati "Commercia
describes Chinese dentistry, and gives US an
idea of what the Shanghai tooth carpenters
amount to as professionals:
The native dentists are the merest char
latlns. and practice as magicians and cure
alls. They insert artificial teeth OF the sea-
horse, which arc kept in place by copper
wire wrappings or fastenings to the adjacent
natural teeth, and charge about three cents
Der tooth for the operation. Teeth are ex-
tracted by hocus-pocus process which the
dental impo<tor calls coughing up" The
method of extraction is this The dentist
applies a white powder represented to be
the salt extracted from the sweat OF the
horse Dr. EaStlake found this white pow
! der to be nothing more or less than arsenic,
which causes the gum to slough, when the
tooth is easily removed by the operators
! fingers.
But the Chinese method of curing the
toothache was what puzzled him most, and
| longest deiied detection. The operations, IL
] should have been stated, are all performed
| in temple or in the space in front, under a
large umlv vella, the idea being that religious
ceremony IS in some way connected with
| them.
Toothache is caused BY maggot which
gets into the tooth somehow or other while
the patient is asleep, or while he is laughing
immoderately. 1t must be removed alive,
or the patient will go mad. He is, therefore,
placed on a seat and his head thrown back.
The dentist inserts a long pair of forceps,
and. after fnmbling around for a few sec
onds, produces between the nippers a little
wriggling black maggot-the cause OF the
whole trouble.
DR.. Eastlake witnessed this operation re-
| peatedly. bat it was only after obtaining
surreptitious possession of the forceps that
he discovered the trick. lie found that one
arm of the forceps only was of iron the
other was of bamboo, painted to resemble
the other. In the hollow of the bamboo
were found number of little black mag
gots, probably obtained from decayed yege-
tables or decomPosing matter. When nee

THE EYES OF AN IRISH GIRL.

You may talk of black eyes and blue
About brown eyes, and hazel, and gray;
You may praise as.you.please every hue
Known on earth since its earliest day;
But no other eyes under the sun
Can set poor human heart in a whirl,
With their pathos and mischief and fun,
Like the eyes of bright Irish girl.
They are soft as the down on a dove,
They are mild as a midsummer dawn,
They are warm as the red heart of love,
They are coy as the glance of fawn.
Tender, pensive, and dreamy as night,
Bright and pure as the daintiest pearl,
Yet merrily mad sprite
Are the eyes of a young Irish girl.
They can soothe and delight with beam,
They can rouse and inspire with a glance,
They can chill and reprove with a gleam,
That is keen as the flash of lance.
To bring peace or the pangs of despair
To ones breast, be he noble or churl,
There is nothing on earth TO compare
With the eyes of a true Irish girl.
You may search cabin, cottage and hall,
Thro' the loveliest lands that are known;
But the loveliest land of them all
Has no eyes like the eyes of our own.
There are faces, no doubt, quite as sweet,
And as fair, under ring.et and curl,
But no light like the splendors that meet
In the eyes of glad Irish girl.
All! Dame Nature was cruelty kind
When she took from her tenderest skies
The most exquisite tints she could find
And bestowed them on soft Irish eyes.
For no other eyes under the sun
Can set human heart in whirl
With their pathos and mischief and fun,
Like the eyes of bright Irish girl.

The English Language.

Morses system of telegraphy is a power
full means Of spreading the English Ian
guage throughout the world 1t is found
that more matter can be sent in the English
than in any other language. Its simplicity,
conciseness, and strength, put it into the
very fore front Of the battle between West
ern civilization and the sleepy empire of the
East. English capital invested in railroads,
steamships, and lines of telegraphy, as
though so many mighty arteries, is pouring
the resistless power and uniting energy of
all the English-speaking nations through
the barriers of heathenism. Wherever
English capital goes, there goes with it the
English language-progressive, aggressive,
dominant, and unyielding. Japan is about
to adopt it as national language; it is
rapidly spreading throughout India; it is
calling pretty loudly at the closed doors of
China; it is sinking along the shores, and
around the islands of Polynesia. Austria
liza is now connected with Europe by an
English-speaking wire, and the islands of
the East Indies are feeling the influence of
this resistless tide. And so viii this vast
current keep flowing on and on till it pene-
trates to the four quarters Of the earth.
