In the crowd "Oh." said tho rustic nobody II get my
money have only one pound, and mean TO Keep that
my mouth" This remark was overheard by one or our
small but clever street boys who watched his oppor
tuuity and when the honest cOuutryman had got few
hundred yards his way, suddenly scattered few pei
pies ground before him, and began 10 pick them
up again. crying To the rustic lie did :" "G0u gimme

pocket and the honest British public distributed ITSELF

SIR: 1t is the opinion of many Republicans
that the party hold in their hands the winning cards in
the coming Presidential election but by their own fool
shness are destined throw away their chances Ad-
mit you please that Mr. Blaine is not the most proper
candidate for the Cincinnati Convention to take up
(Which by no assent toy, 1t good policy for
the friends OF other Republican candidates to join with
the Democrats their vain attempts to smrch the most
gallant leader OF the Republican partyl Do they think
the friends Of Mr. Blaine will allow such attempts to sue
1t the general opinion Of the people that before
they have done with 1t they will find there are blows TO
give as well as take" In opcn honorable compet'-
ton all would have been satisfied but to attempt to Kill
off James g. Blaine in order to mako room for their
fsvortes will not work. the schemers will find out to
their sorrow The cry now IL Blaine nothing" with

A Chinaman at the Exhibition.

A capital type Of Chinese manhood is
to be seen in the person of stout mid
dle-aged merchant, who holds position
through many hours of the day in the
southernmost compartment of the Chi
nese allotment ibis queue, his shaver
head, his ample, well-tormed figure, his
blandness, his serene content-the quick
intelligence and the contagious mirthful-
ness which light up his features as he
listens to the varying reports of his in
terpreter. are something as well worth
seeing as the curious wares In his exhib-
it. His stalwart proportions, mated
with an alert shrewdness, give a better
intimation of those directing forces
which preside over the great industries
of China than we are apt to get from the
sallow laundrymen SO familiar to us, or
from most of the subordinates in attend

Military Discipline in China.

A terrible instance of the severity of
the military discipline enforce! by GER
tain Chinese officers occurred only the
other day at Soochow. AS a band of
soldiers were being marched through
the town the attention of one of the
men was attracted byan itinerant needle
woman-one of those virtuous and use
full ladies whose whole stock-in- trade
consists Of housewife, a thimble, and
a little stool; and this man, it seems,
took the liberty of patting or stroking
the woman's cheek as he passed. Up
sprang the outraged lady, and retorted
in good set terms, treating the adven-
turous warrior to a sound bit of her
mind at the top of her injured voice.
The officer in charge stepped up to her.
"Don't make such noise" he said,
quietly; ''be patient, it shall not occur
again" The soldiers passed on, and in
a quarter of an hour the mans head was
adjoining the city walls. It is said the
woman, who had been the innocent
cause of the catastrophe was sadly grieved
at this unlooked-for and dreadful result.

TOughened Glass.

The new process for making tough
and unbreakable glass has been greatly
improved since it's first announcement,
and the material, in the form of lamp
chimneys, t1mblers, etc., is now offered
in commercial quantities. The success
attending the experiments already made
have inspired further research in the
same field, and number of new pro-
cesses, of more or less valne, are report
ed. In the original process, glassware,
raised to a red, or melting heat, is
plunged into bath Of oily and fatty mat
ter, and the result is to give the glass an
entirely new character. Instead Of
breaking with star like fractue under
slight blow, it resists serious blows, and,
besides certain amount of elasticity
above that it had before, displays a
toughness and cohesion many times in
excess of its ordinary character. If
broken at all, it disintegrates and flies
into great number of minute particles,
