CHILDREN IN CHINA.-Chinese women
bear no great love Ior children, and they
think it quite proper that blind or de.
formed inlants should be killed. Several
years since little girl was sick with
smallpox, and when she got well it was
found that her eyesight was gone. Her
mother was the first to say that she
ought to be killed, and day by day the
hafd.h arted woman talked to ner hus-
band III Ihis manner Until he consented
to get rid OF the child. He called the
little thing to him one day and took her
out Tor "a walk, with the intention OF
leaving her in thicket, either to starve
or be eaten by wolves. Wnen near the
spot where he was to abandon her, he
concluded that he could not be so cruel
to u helpless little one, and straightWay
returned home with the child. The
mother was sorely disappointed to meet
the two again, but the father said he
would rather labor twice as hard for u
livelihood, and save the chiiU5 life. The
mother had to submit, and now the girl
ls fifteen years of age, and has learned
to do SO many things that there will be
no trouble i'll getting her husband.

This is no quack nostrum, but the
prescription of regular and successful
city physician of extensive practice and
reputation; the prescription has been
used for some years IN our own families
with invariable success.
During the late war it was given to
many of our friends and volunteers in
the army, who were suffering from Diar.
rhea, caused by change of water, un-
healthy and improperly cooked food,
and in every case it was used with the
best results.
Travellers, who are subject to so many
changes of water and diet, will find this
a valuable article. The Walls are small
and strong, and can be carried without
inconvenience.
Every family should have bottle OF
this Cordial ready for immediate use. A
single dose of only a few drops in the
early stage OF these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder.
1t is scientific prescription prepared
with the greatest care, and we recon-
mend it with the utmost confidence as the
best remedy known for the diseases
mentioned.

Correspondence Of the London Ti;sesJ
The little city of Sistova is much bet
ter built than the majority of Turkish
Danubian towns. Many of the buildings
are of stone, and the streets are uneven,
they are washed by every shower, and
are consequently not as odorous as other
Moslem cities.
When ! entered the Turkish quarter
of the town (Which had been deserted)
| found that the pillagers had been there.
Turkish books and manuscripts Uttered
the streets; the Moslem hosses and
shops were minus doors and windows,
and their interiors were empty. / en-
tered mosque, and found little Bulgar-
ian children gathering firewood from the
mass of spliE tered woodwork which COW
cred the floor. The building had not
been seriously injured, but all light
and easily smashed articles were in
pieces.
Upon inquiry | found that Russian
soldiers and Bulgarian residents were
equally responsible for these vandalisms.
Had the Turkish inhabitants remained
in their residences | am satisfied they
would have saved their property; but
no soldiers will respect empty houses.
/ have seen deserted villages entered
during the civil war in America and the
furniture destroyed in the most wanton
manner merely from the spirit of de-
struction which is latent in every nation
when they are in arms and in an enemy'e
country; and / am compelled to admit
that the presence of the owners did not
always save furniture or other valuables
during that fearful civil war. / am nc
apologist for outrages committed by any
one; but ! only state what i have seen
in other countries, and attribute the
plundering and smashing in the Turkish
quarter of Sistova to the general spirit
of mischief which pervades every army
in the world
The Cadi of Sistova is the only Turk
that ! heard of in town. He has been
treated with all possible respect, and his
house has been unmolested. | saw in
one of the streets of Sistova company
of uniformed Bulgarians being drilled
by Sergeant. What change in six
teen days-the naughty Moslem fugi-
tive, his property scattered about the
streets, and the serf, the despised
Giaour," drilling in the public streets
Could there be more complete revolu-
ton? The Bulgarian part of the city is
better built and more comfortable in APP
pearance than the Turkish.
| went into one of the Bulgarian
churches and found one of the most
beautifully carved wooden screens, COW
ering the whole end of the church, that
| have ever seen; the circular arches
supporting the gallery were very light
and graceful, and the whole edifice re-
Elected credit upon the taste, wealth,
and liberality of the Bulgarians of Sis
tova.

GLEANLNGS FROM THE MUSE.
A wOMAN's LETTER.


My letters late by one day,
But truth is, Jenny dear,
Ned Grayson came on Sunday
1t seems he's always here.
He, and young Fred M Kenzie,
They staid three blessed hours,
And ma was in frenzy
He brought some lovely flowers.
mean to tell you, Jenny,
The news and everything,
But find there isn't anyl-
Oh, next week, Ned's to sing
With the Mozart Club at Irving;
I'll manage, dear, to go,
The Fates and weather serving
/ don't want ma to know!
Jen, lovers are nuiSancel
George brought the ring last night
A solitaire, like Susan's;
Ii gave me such a fright
| cried and wouldn't wear it,
How, underneath the sun,
Do girls contriye to bear it.
This narrowing down TO one?
Poor George, the foolish fellow,
Began to storm and Hing,
And turned quite green and yellow
j hate that sort of thing.
Now, Ned is always quiet;
think his cool, gray eye,
Would still an Irish riot,
Or make q regiment fly.
But what's so very funny
About him, Ned, mean,-
He hasn't any money;
/ heard from Clarence Green
Just how he's situated
Keeps books for Webb & Ware.
All, well those things are fatedl
George owns a million, square.
Yes, dear, Fate trims the corners,
Rough-hew them as we may
We can't 90 clad like mourners,
Or weep the liyelong day.
But, oh, don't breathe it JENNY
I'd marry Ned, you see,
Without one single penny,
If only he loved mel
All, well-well- well--that's folly,
But sometimes, Jcn, I've thought,
He, too seemed melancholy;
Quick glanoes that Eve caught,
Looked full of speechless sadness
There goes silly tear,
To blot the page what madnessl
Goodbye, pet, George is here.
We dine at Ella Johnson's.
p. ST. must decide,
He won't sta nd too much nonsense.
The crepe comes full yard wide.
Don't get the buff, it fades so;
Have train and split-up sacque,
For organdies are made So
My heart aches. Love to Jack.

ant wouldn't pay her rent. She was
summoned in due form, and had no hest
tation in admitting that she owed for
two months rent. She hadn't paid and
didn't mean to pay because she came
from Ohio and wasn't used to the WAYS
OF this State. If she found out that one
of the ways was for people to pay their
house rent, why, she'd pay hers All

she smilingly replied:

but | haven't got acclimated yet.
| think month more will decide whether
| shall pay or not. Pm a stranger, you
see, and | don't want to take any rash
steps,
well, I've just returned from the
house. She begged hard to be allowed
time to get used to the water, the thun-
der-showers and the noise of brass bands,
but out went her furniture, out went
she, and she was moving into barn
when | left. She never shed tear nor
heaved sigh, and while was carrying
