Tatt00ing in Burmah.

At the mention OF tattooing, the Eng
lish reader will be disposed to lower
the BuYmah Indian or South Sea Is
lander. or other wild oitshoot of hu-
manity. Yet, it is no mark of any
such want of culture. From the edu-
Gated native Judge who sits on the
bench to administer the law OF Eng
land, who speaks and writes the Eng
iish language, drives in his baYouche,
and attends the social gathering of
English ladies and gentlemen, to the
humbles5 laborer in the field, every
man of the population is tattooed, not
at pleasure and within the limits he
himsc f may draw, but by rigid Gus
tom which devotes to the tattooer's
art the body OF every man from the
waist to below the knee. Within this
area every Burman is branded with
close tapestry OF lions, griilins, and
other fabulous monsters, in deep blue
pigment, forced under the skin by q
painful process. Red tattooing is con-
fined to the upper part Of the body.
This necessary decoration is begun at
an early age, and the prescribed sur
face IS only gradually covered, but the

very Young boys is the cause of no lit

death. l have myself met only one
Burman who was not thus decorated,
aud he was Il kind of privileged noun
tebank to whom the license of clown
was allowed, and who was the good
natured butt of his companions. The
tattooer is proud to execute his most
artistic designs (Which he will display
on a scroll like tailors patterns) on
the arms of English officers. and among
those who have served in Burmah the
samples of this art are among the COM
monest relics shown to admiring friends
ut home. Whatever may have been the
origin of this strange custom. 1t is con-
sidered an essential mark OF manliness,
and the Burmese youth who shrank

A Peruvian newspaper, the D0lSd,
says that extraordinary phenomena
have been observed in connection with
the "Corpuna' volcano in the Province
of Castillo, which have caused great
alarm among the population. The i'm
mense banks of snow which have
crowned its summit from time imme-
mortal have suddenly melted away with
such rapidity rs to cause torrents to
rush down the sides of the mountain,
washing out immense quantities Of
stones and earth. The river below, be-
ing unable to contain the great body of
water so suddenly added to it, over
flowed its banks, causing great damage
and distress. y great chasm or lateral
crater next opened on one side, throw
ing ont volumes of smoke and steam as
we'll as tongues of flame, which were
distinctly visible at night, accompanied
with loud subterranean rumblings. 1t
had never been supposed that the Cor
puma was or could be volcano, and
there is no tradition that it. was ever in
a state OF eruption. Nor within the
memory of man has It's crown Of snow
ever been absent.
CANINE CONsrANCY.-A singular in

of the canine race is Just now the talk
of the East End, IN the region of
Forbes street. About two years ago
gentleman residing on Forbes street
paid the debt of nature. While in life
he had been the possessor of a pet dog,
upon which he had bestowed consider
able attention. After his death the
dog manifested every sign OF grief.
Previous to the death of its master it
had been good natured and friend TO
all; but after his demise, the animal
refused to take food from any hand but
that of its mistrcss-the widow of its
deceased friend and owner. 1t noticed
no one. and was listless and morosc-
permitting no one to bestow any atten-
ton upon it, except its mistress. \
couple Of weeks since, the lady died.
Since that time the dog has not eaten Il
bite, and so far rs has been observed
has not taken drink of water. The
have done all that was posi-
BILE to induce it to eat, but with no
avail, and it is slowly dying of actual
grief and starvation. Judging from
personal appearances, llS hours VIII

when it dies to bury it between the
graves of its beloved master and mis-
tress. -PU>6myh Commercial Ga.ette.

Good Times.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter sees
good times ahead. 1t says: Peace and
plenty we have had before, though
never a peace that gave more promise
of being enduring, nor plenty in such
variety and profusion as to embrace
nearly everything that is derived from
the bounty of Providence or the ingenu-
ity of man. Nature appears to have
been busy beyond her wont in replacing
the treasures consumed in the strife of
war, and amid the illusions produced
by false system of finance. The bene-
fits ACQUIRING from these expanded
sources of wealth have been distributed
among the multitude. The industrious
and frugal are coming to the front, the
adventuresome and speculative are be-
ing driven to the rear; the chances of
the few to accumulate large fortunes,
suddenly, are dimishing; similarly the
opportunities of the many to acquire a
modest competency by steady and per-
sistent effort are on the increase.

SOciabiIiu,

Think how much happiness you con-
vey to each other by kindly notice
and cheerful conv ersation. Think
how much sunshine such socialability
lets back into your soul. Who does
not feel more cheerful and contented
for receiving a polite bow and a genial
"good-morning," with a hearty shake
of the hand? Who does not make HIM
self happier by these little expressions
of fellow-feeling and goodwill. Silence,
and stiff, unbending reverse, are essen
TALLY selfish and vulgar. The generous
and polite man has pleasant recogni-
ton, cheerful words for all he meets.
He scatters sunbeams wherever he
goes. He paves the path of Others
with smiles. He makes society genial,
and the world delightful, to those who
would else find them cold, selfish. and
forlorn. And what he gives is but a

wherever you go, and wrap your slight

spirit that is genial
