A Gigantic Sham.

Punc ure the Chinese empire by any
foreign rower, 0nd it Mould he found to be
a gigantic sham. The population Of the
cities, as enumerated by Marco Polo, has
given an exaggerated opinion o. the popula-
ton. Feking, stated at eleven millions,
does not contain more than seven or eisa.
hundred thousand, and Nanking, stated at
the same fabulous population, does not con-
tain at present population of more than
900, 600; while as to the population of the
entire empire, 10 actual sensus has been
taken for more than ii centuries, and no re-
liable basis exists for making an estimate
of the population. The opinion Of the
wealth Of china is equally exaggerated, for
in what does this wealth consist.
In the agricultural region the improve
nents are Of an economical charater, there
are 30 fences, ,and the farm houses are a mere
trumpery collection of mud straw. There
are no great manufactures requiring the

are 10 railways, but few steamship COMFY

there is not a road in Chira ten miles long
over which spring vehicle can pass in

+, In what, then, does this immagined
wealth really consist? The masses of the

to be Jood. As tic Chinese people pre-.

History in Procession,

A correspondent ofTheTribune propose,
that one feature OF the opening services a,
the Observation-Disclosures shall
be a grand historical pageant. The idea is
good one: and, since there will no doub,
be demonstration Of the professional
order included ID the programme, we would
be glad to see this proposition given prac.
teal shape. As presented blythe Tribune's
correspondent the plan takes On the form
of series of tableaux grants, represen-
tative of persons and scenes Intimately
connected with national history and pro.
] ,rees and susceptible of picturesque illus,
! traJions. The writer submits skeleton Of
groupings such as might be arranged to
occupy place in the proposed pageant,
viz:
| 1. The Morse men. with an ancient
/ Morse dragon, or galley, containing Left
Ericsson, Bjorn the Red, Trofnn, Gudrida
and ttc,r follower.
2. Columbus.
3. Prince de Leon and DeSoto.
4. The Cabots, Sir Walter Raleigh, and
other English explorers.
5. Captain John Smith, (withP Powhaten.
POcabontas, etc.)
6. Hendrix Hudson and the Dutch.
Z. The Plymouth Pilgrims.
8. Printz, and the Swedes.
Q. Penn and the Qaakers.
10. The Cavaliers.
II. The Euguenots.
12. The first German settlers, includIpr
the Moravians.
13. Scenes cf COLONEL Life.
IA. Scenes of the Revolutionary War,
with all the principal characters individual
ly represented.
Is. The War of 1912 Is
l6 The Overland Migration Of lS49.
II. North and South; tableau of Recon
citation.
To carry out the details of scheme Of
this kind would require labor, brains and
money, no doubt. But, as contrasted in
character and appropriateness, with the
average parade seen on holiday occasions,
such pageant as this would be worthy of
all it would cost, and would take Its place
as among the finest features of the opening
ceremonies of the Exhibition
Inasmuch as not one 1.-THE of those who
will be in Philadelphia on the opening dav
will get within gunshot of the Centennial
Buildings to witnes. or tasc rart in the
Ceremonies, something cf the kind suggest
ci w"u.d seem to BE- necessity of the case
by way of satisfying the curiosity of the
thousand who VIII 20 to see some new
thing \ parade of the common order
will not meet tae cravings of that SURFING
crowd who Will swarm in the streets of
Philadelphia next Fourth Of Jniv. Hence
there is room for what will best attract the
attention Of sightseers who belong to the
sidewalk committee More over, the patrio.
tic suggestion which an American historir
cal procession would give rise to in the
minds of spectators could not fail to EN-
thuse all who beheld it. The idea seems
to US, therefore, TO be timely and prac-
teal one. and, il worked out with care by
a competent committee having the cons.
dence and cooperation Of the people, there
is no reason why pageant Of the kind
proposed shOuld not prove most iuteres-
ting feature of the Centennial exercises.--

A strange funeral procession arrived at
Santa Fe one day last week There were
20 freight wagons in the procession and
each wagon was hearse, loaded with the
remains of soldiers, in different stages Of
decay. These bad been buried, one By
one, ranging through period OF several
years, at Fort Craig, and recently the re
mains were removed to the government
cemetery at Santa Fe. The bodies were
ezhumed, just ike sacks og ore. Only one
body, that OF Lieut.. Drew, was transported
in 4 coffin. This officer perishec of sGurst
on the jorpadel .iuerta, six years ago.
His remains when exposed to Inspection at
Santa Fe, presented a rather natural ap.
earance. The tongue, OF what remained
of it, still proiruded from the mouth, eyi
depcing the suffering attending bis horri-
bic death. In this singular and CHASTITY
procession were 40 bodies. The wagons
discharged their Skeletonic freight in the
government oemetary, and each gunny sack
and contents was dropped into a separate
grave. There were no religious or miIeta-
~ ceremonies and the men hired to accom-
pany the procession tossed the sacks Of
bones about with as little care and feeling
as they would boxes of merchandise.

THE San francisco Chronicle relates
the following series Of strange coinci-
dences: "a few years ago thcreresidcd
at the Mission San Jose, in Alameda
county, two young ladies, between
whom, although not Of Kin, a strong
friendship existed. They we're married
at the same time and by the same SER
vice. They then took up their re-
sidcnccs, one at Haywards and the other
at Alvarado in the course Of time they
gave birth to children on The same day,
the birth ofone child preceding that
of the other by two hours. Three weeks
later both children died on the same
day, the eldest dying just two hours be-
fore the other. Three weeks after the
death of the children both mothers died
on the same day.

ONE of the things incident to CONN, on
lo@ determining the rights of husband
and wife, IS that the wife is not rcspon-
sible for wrongs committed by herself
during marriage. Thus, if she were
guilty OF SANDER, legal redress therefor
could be had from her husband only,
no matter iFin equity she had abundant
property by marriage settlement to an
sTcr any damages which her wrong
might cause. A late case in Illinois holds
that under the statutes passed in that
State, giving the wife control of separate
property and OF her earnings, the hus-
band is not liable for wrongs committed
by her witboat his presence or participa-
ton. The Judge, who pronounced the
decision in a somewhat dirge-like strain,
said, 1.-The scepter has departed from the
husband: the chains ofthe past has been
broken by TIE progression of the present;
and the wife may now enter upon the
stern conflicts ofhie untrammeled. She
no longer clings to and depends upon
man, but has the legal cigh, and aspires
to battle with him in the eatest of the
forum; to outvle him in the healing art;
to climb with him the steps of fame;
and to share with him in every occupa-
tion. Her brain and hands and tongue
are her own and she alone should be

Civous life.

In reviewing book on this subject,
by Thomas Frost. the Acc3sn,y picks
out these facts about English circus per-
formers, Circus lie IS not very different
from the larger life outside, and these
versatile individuals often lead but
sorry existence until they rise out of the
ruck and do something different from
their companions. They must astonish
in order to live, and those that astonish
the most will make She best living; so it
has been with Van Amburg, Carter,
and other ''iion kings with Lcoterd,
Blondin; and other gyunasts. Mana
gers arc somtimes hard put to it for a
novelty, and thei, attempts to obtain one
are often laugha0le enough. Wallet,
the clown. and Pablo Fanque, the negro
rope dancer Otherwise William Darby),
when in partnership together at Glas-
gov, hit on The ezDedient of turning an
Irish posturer in their company, whose
nomd' arena was Fildcrini, into & CHI
nese. The ITishman was shaved, stain
ed, and dressed N Chinese costume, and
had the name of ki-hi-chin-fann-foo
conferred upon him His appearance
was so far a success that two veritable
Cinnamon, who had wijoossed, his per-
;ormanccs, tool; him Tor countryman
of theirs bat each time they inquired for
him at the stage door theywere told he
could not be seen. These repeated re-
buds made the honest ''Celestials" sus-
picious--not of his reality but of his
treatment bv his employers. Thinking
that he was held in durance and only
released in order to appear in the ring,
they went TO the police court and made
an affidavit to that effect. The unfort-
innate Pablo Fanque. therefore, was
called upon for an explanation, ana was
obliged to put the Irish pcsturer into
the witness box to declare that he could
not speak word Of Chinese, and had
never been in China in his life.
Circus performers corGTccata together
and speak alaneuage of their own. Mr..
Frost marks of a large district on the
south side of the river as the profess
sional quarter OF London. He says:
At least three-fourths Of what 7 have
termed the amusing classes, whether
connected with circases, tbcatcrs, pub
tic gardens, or music halls--actors, sing
ers, dancers, equestrians, niov gym-
nasts, acrobats, juCglers, Ic arcr5---
may be found in the day time at least,
within the area bounded by line drawn
from Waterloo Bridge to the Victoria
Thcater, AMI thence al lionr Gibson
street and Oakley street, down Eennlng-
ton road as far as the Cross, and thence
to VauxhaIl Bridge.
In the morning walk from Westmin-
ster Bridge to Waterloo road the acrobats
aud rope-danccrs Of the ci-cuses and mu-
sic halls may be easily recognized by
their dress, and visit to Barnard's tav-
ern, opposite Astlco's, Or the Pheasant,
in the rear Of the theater viii show
large percentage Of circus 'artistes" be-
fore the bar.
The author gives some specimens of
the circus slang, which seems te have
been drawn from many quarters. A
circus man never mentions q woman by
any other term then dona and bono, is
his ordinary word for good; but these
foreign equivalents arc few.
