Chinese Foot DefOrmIty.


THE other day 1 heard that a Chinese
lady of rank had lately come with her
husband on visit to Santa Barbara, and
her feet were only two inches and three
quarters long. Making inquiries of our
laundry boy, All Foy, as TO where the
Chinese lady with little feet could be
seen, he told me her husband was cousin
of Sing Lee, proprietor of wash house in
town, and she was staying there.
Sing Lee courteously conducted us
through the dark wash house, where men
were beating clothes with bamboo sticks,
scrubbing them in the suds with bamboo
brushes, and a China boy was cooking
dinner in big pot over a little furnacc,4s
range of berths like those of ocean
steamers, and, lifting the curtains of the
bed, introduced us to the lady by saying
" This is my cousin" The woman i'm
mediately rose from the bed on which she
was sitting and extended her hand to each
of us, saying, "How do" Her husband
was sitting by her side, holding boy a
year old he was also very pleased at our
visit, and proud of the notice we took of
his boy, who was already dressed in
trousers and gown, and wore red silk
turban cap on his head. The wife was
more elegantly dressed than any Chinese
| had yet seen. Her hair was deliberately
dressed, and fastened up in puffs and coils
by long dagger,shaped pins of gold. HeI
gown or robe was loose, extended to the
knee, and had big, loose sleeves, distended
by hoops her robe was of dark blue silk,
embroidered with yellow and red
silk; her arms had several bracelet
ornaments; her hands were small
and well-formed, and covered with
rings; she wore big hoops OF
gold in her ears; she had pretty face,
oval shaped, large eyes, small mouth and
dimpled cheeks. She smiled frequently
as we conversed with Sing Lee, but took
no part in the conversation. | think she
only could speak very few sentences
When said we wanted TO see her foot,
she evidently understood, for she laughed

got on my knee, and took her foot in
my lap and examined il closely, and
measured il. The foot and leg were
bound tightly in white satin, apparently
sewed neatly around the limb. There
were banus of gold around her ankles
her ankle measured ten inches in circum
ference at its smallest place. her foot was
two and three-quarteT inches long, two
inches broad IN the middle, and one incl

stockings she wore blue satin slippers

Scurvy Legs on Fowls.

AMONG the many remedies given for
this disease the following from the
Poultry Nation is probably as good as any
in use:
Remedies for this unsightly malady are
often given, but in answer to numerous
inquiries we give the treatment we are at
present using, when necessary. 1t is
simply to anOint the legs and toes of af-
feCted fowls twice week till cured with
a mixture composed of carbon oil, one
gill; sulphur, one.half ounce; stir well
together, and add one gill of fish or lard
oil and thirty to forty drops of pure car
bolic acid. Stir well before using, and
apply with brush or cloth, soaking it
well in. Scaly or scurvy leg is caused by
minute insect that burrows in the skin
under the scales of the shank of fowls
legs. The insect is invisible, except un-
der the microscope, and is similar to the
sheep scab" and itch" parasite. The
first indication of the disease is a slightly
roughened appearance of the inside of the
shank, near the hook joint 1t develops
rapidly till the scales are entirely de-
stroyed, and replaced by irregular, en-
larging, warty excresences, encrusting the
whole shank from the hook to the toes
The application of our remedy will kill
the cause, and the crust will crumble
away, leaving the leg smooth; but once
destroyed, the natural scale can never be
restored. This disease is infectious by
contact and incubation. 1t is not apt to
spread among fowls where their perches
are often saturated with carbon oil or
when under treatment for it. 1t is most
swiftly and surely transmitted by hatch
ing hens and mothers to small chicks
Breeders cannot be too careful in select
ing hens for maternal duties having no
trace of the affection. A little thorough
ness on its appearance will make an easy

VIM. A. WheeIer's Letter of Acceptance.

The following is the Hon. William A.
Wheeler's letter accepting the Republican
nomination for Vice President of the
United States:

the same, and asking my attention TO the sum

platform adopted by the Convention.
A nomination made with ,auch -unanimity i'm

Convention. | give my cordial assent. The Re.
publican party has intrenched In the organic law
OF our land the doctrine that liberty Is the sp-

full effect TO this principle by securing 10 every
American citizen complete liberty and exact equal

Upon the question OF our Southern relations,
my Views were recently expressed a. a member Of

Hentatiyes upon Southern afaire. Those Views
remain unchanged, and were thus expressed: We.

the masses OF the South, 50 far behind IN many Of
the attributes Of enlightened Improvement aud

The Way To Make Good Soup.

THE best meat for soup purposes is shin
of beef, the meat with the bones, boiled
for several hours always till the liquid is
reduced one-half. A pound of fresh meat
should make Il quart or two of good soup,
but the meat should always be cut up
small. Soup made from any other beef
but that of shin will not jelly, but will
taste like good beef tea. After the shin
knuckle of veal will make soup of
prime quality. The lean end of a neck of
mutton is also good; but in making soup
from this latter a half pint of water should
be put to the meat, be closely covered and
always to boil quarter of an hour, then
be poured off and put away in a basin to
cool, after which put the necessary water
to the meat and convert it into stock
When the soup made from this is about tC
be sent to the table take the fat off the
small portion that was put away; mix the
liquor, not the fat, in with the soup, and
it will give a delicious fresh flavor of NUT
ton. Stock may be made from any meat
poultry or game, but must always be put
in cold water, and be without fat. II
must always be strained, suffered to gel
entirely cold, the fat be then taken off and
put away before the stock can be convert
ed into soup.
The economical way to make beef soup
is to procure some large bones on which
there is more or less meat, saw them into
pieces three or four inches long, so thai
the marrow can escape from the cavities
Marrow will make the soup rich and OF
excellent fiavor.-N. Y. Herald.

An Ambitious Cow.

" HUMPHREY ShUeRuE's COW" has be.
come notorious lately for her almost hu.
man attempts to climb to the top Of
Powers & Bort's elevator on the levee by
the means of the outside stairway that
leads to the upper stories of the building
Yesterday she had evidently resolved to
go to the top or die in the attempt, for her
efforts proved almost fatal, something in
this way: About six O'Clock in the after
noon she began to ascend, and succeeded
in reaching the last step but one from the
top, and was about to give below of sat
isfaction, when, alas the steps on which
her hind feet rested broke through, and
down went her legs through the opening,
leaving her body standing in nearly up
right position, twenty feet above the
ground. A crowd soon gathered, but
could do nothing to extricate her, and her
own endeavors to free herself caused the
spectators to expect every moment to see
the stairway fall and dash the venture
some bovine to pieces, but, to their aston
ishment, she, with sudden movement
peculiar to herself, freed her limbs and
started down with rush for safety. Ere
she reached the bottom of the steps, how
ever, she slipped, and, falling down, came
near breaking one of her fore-legs, and
tore away considerable portion of the
-Rlirway. When she once more landed
on terra firma it was found, upon exam
inatiOn that she was entirely uninjured I;
but it was narrow escape.-LedUenioor

The South Carolina Massacre.

We commend to the Democratic papers
which are so Justify demanding that ven.
geance shall be visited upon Sitting Bull
for his massacre of3white men, the mas.
sacre Of black men held as prisoners by
white Democrats at Hamburg, 9. q. The
story OF the Infamous outrage is substanti.
ally as follows, the facts being gathered
from Southern Democratic newspapers /:
Hamburg, s. g., a decayed town, stranded
by the War, is governed by colored men.
1t possesses, or possessed before the mas.
sacre, colored Militia company. re-
gularly organized and armed by the State,
as militia companies are organized and
armed In Illinois or any Northern State.
The colored men of Hamburg are Repub-
llcans; the white men are Democrats.
On the 4th inst, this company, while
parading in one of the public streets. was
approached by two white men, who de-
manded, in an offensive manner, that the
company should break ranks. and, allow
them 10 drive through instead of going
around them, which the Captain refused
10 do, as any white Captain would have
done. The company was therefore sum.
moned TO appear before a cOlored Trial
Justice for obstructing the highway, and.
pending the trial thecOunsel for the plain.
tifts, Maj Gen. Butler, an ex- Confederate
officer in conjunction with the Trial Justice
and others, demanded that the company
should be disarmed. Several interviews
were Ael1 with the Captain of the Com
