The Bible in China.

, Not long ago phenomenon in China
gave lively hope of the conversion OF
the Chinese heather to Christianity.
There was sudden and remarkable
demand, in certain places, for the Bible |;
and large edition in the native tongue
was consequently struck off to supply
the anxious heather. These heather
greedily sought for the free copies of
the Bible, gratefully accepted them, and
rejoicingly marched off with them. The
missionaries were delighted as they dis
trihuted the volumes among the crowds
in waiting, and looked patiently for as
many converts as there were Bible seek
ers. But though there continued to be
an active demand among the idolators
for the Bibles that were gratuitously dis
tributed, no converts turned up. At last
the missionaries determined to under
take an investigation of this strange
state of things. 1t was melancholy
revelation for them, when they discov-
cred that the quickwitted heather were
not giving themselves up to the pious
study of their free Bibles, but were using
them in the making and repairing of
the thick paper sole of the Chinese shoe.
The supply of free Biblical material to
the Acknowledged heather of the Celes-
tial Empire was quickly cut off by the
missionaries, but in the
mean time, many of them had provided
with comfortable shoes at
the expense of tee Bible Society.-7N.

A Tragedy of the Desert.


The dispatches few days ago, says
the St. louis Repnblican, gave a brief
account of the sufferings and final death
of a St. Louis man lost in the great
Colorado Desert. The San Diego (Cali-
'fornial World, of the 14th, now comes
to hand with additional details of the
terrible affair. -
From Mr. Cassem Hirsch, of San
Louis Obispo, who has been prospect
ing through Arizona, Sonora and New
Mexico, and who arrived here yester-
day evening on his return home, we
learn some of the particulars in regard
to the man Henry Smith, who persisted
on the Colorado Desert some six days
ago. Mr.. Hirsch, in company. with
some other gentlemen, came up with
the unfortunate man some two
hours before he breathed his last. He
was perfectly sane up to the last mo-
mems and told his story as best he
could. From the disconnected way in
which it. was told, Mr.. Hirsch was en-
abled to learn that the deceased's name
was Henry Smith, and that he was en-
route for California from Arizona; that
he had wandered from the main road
and got lost and had been without
water ninety six hours, and that during
the last twelve hours his life was sus-
tanned by catching and drinking his
own as well as the urine of his two bur-
ros. After he became too weak to do
this any longer, in his desperate condi-
ton he took razor, cut his arm and
drank 81 his own blood, and final
ly his tongue became so swollen that
he could not breathe freely; he took
the razor and cut his throat on each
side of the windpipe, thus affording a
means of getting breath. He had on
his person four Mexican dollars and
So of Sanrita placer gold-dust; he also
had with him two burros, saddle and
blankets. The money found on his
person was paid out for his burial ex-
penses. While rolling in the sand he
had lost his pocket-book containing $12
in coin and 500 in greenbacks. He said
that he had formerly lived in st. Louis,
Mo, and that he had a sister living
there now, and said that her name was
Miss Sarah Smith, that she had been
married, but was divorced and had
taken her maiden name, and said she
lived on Carondelet Avenue, near the
Arsenal, and requested that she be in
Horned of his sad end. He picked out
his burial place, and gave directions as
