and on the stage The child in this case
was little acrobat, known on the bills bv
the title of prince Leo" He is, it ap-
pears, only seven years old, but he has been
made to perform nightly in a variety show, "
IN New York, feats that are dangerous even
when undertaken by a man of iron nerves
and trained muscle. The man who held him
in bondage treated him with brutal cruelty,
and kept him in the densest ignorance. His
childish frame has been warped and irrepar-
ably injured by the unnatural strain to
which it has been subjected. and his life has
been in constant danger, not merely from
the hazardous feats which he performed in
public, but from the blows and kicks which
formed his masters system of teaching.
Even the Audience which was witnessing
the child's Performance applauded the Off

WHAT a DEAD cHINANAS Is WoRTn.-
Among the cargo Of the ship Criterion
which cleared from San Francisco, Cal. for
China on the 4th inst, were 365 boxes billed
as - preserved meats" and valued at 81 $50.
The high price of this class of goods indica-
ted by these figures caused some curiosity
among the Custom House officials, who,
being ANXIOUS to know wherein the extra
value of the commodity lay, instituted in
vestisation. The result was that the boyes
were found to contain the bones of dead
Cinnamon, whom one Fook Hing Tong de-
sired TO transplant to the Flowery King
dom. Out of the discovery grew a copun-
drum " If 365 boxes ere worth 81 $50.
what is one dead Chinaman worth 30 No
answer could be obtained because it was
impossible to find out just how many were
ID each bex. An enterprising individual.
however, interviewed the Superintendent. Of
the Morgde and learned that the value of
th'naman's bones is Just about Sl04. This
information obtained, a calculation was next
resorted to in order to find the number Of

Moody and Sankey close their series Of
meetings in Brooklyn. this week, going
thence to Philadelphia. For three weeks, day
and evening, they have heli their meetings,
which have been unexampled in point Of mum
bers in attendance, and rarely equalled in
point of interest The crowds have in
creased rather th2n diminished throughout,
and the statement is freely made that the
great body Of the Christian people Of the
city realize the necessity for boiler living,
and many are eon-ecrating themselves to the
work of eyangeli,ts During the past week,
special efforts have been made t. make the
church members relinqui>h the space in the
Rink, to persons making no profession of re-
ligious character. On Tuesday, after the
usual services, Mr.. Moody babe the gentle

The new, that the Vice President of the
United States i. wing at the point Of death
under an apopleetie stroke, is startling vet

nature. from which he suffered some two
years ago, was an ominous warning and

peri hi, duties a. President Of the Sen
ate, hi- friends have at no time since, We
think. been free from very grave apprchen-
si0ns that he would not live out his term Of
office Mr. Wilson's age is 63. and he has
been almost continuously in public life
for tAirty-iiye years. His career as
legislator began when he was -
years Old, in 1910, By his election to the
Massachusetts, House Of Representatives
From this lie was transferred to the higher
branch OF the Legislature, and for two years,
1851 and -. be was President Of the Mas-a-
ehusettS Senate. He was kept before the
public by his prominence among the organi-
zers of the Free Soil party, and by his can
didacy, on the Free Soil ticket, for Congress,
and for the Goyernorship Of Massachusetts,
His subsequent services in the organization
Of the Republican party, and in the fight
against slavery, will never be forgotten. In
1853, he entered the nited States Senate,
and held the oiH'e Of Senator, BIZ four sue
cessiye elections, for Is years, till he re-
signed, On the 81 Of March, 1873, to accept
the higher position Of Vice-P President of the
United States and President of the Senate
We are not undertaking a sketch of Mr..
Wilson's busy and useful life, but have sim
ply noted some Of the prominent events in
it, recalled by the sad announcement that
hi- career on earth is probably ending.
The constitution and laws Of Congress
make provision for filling vacancy occur
ring in both the offices of President and
Vice President; but there is, we believe,
no provision for filling vacancy in the Vice
Presidency only.
