Woman's Lot in China.

A novel and striking feature in cons
nection with the Chinese minister's
in London was the new
departure taken by his excellency from
the established custom of his country,
in allowing his wifo to be psesent to
do the honors as hostess. What will
his fellow countrymen in China say to
such concession to the foreigner, to
such a deviation from such social
systemp The higher classes Of Chi
nese, like true Orientals, keep their
women strictly secluded from the yul-
gar gaze. Woman's position in China
ia not an enviable one. She is looked
down upon as an inferior, is seldom
educated, and is regarded more in the
light of an appendage than as help
meet, counsellor and friend. Even as
early as her entrance upon life she re-
celves chilling welcome. Chinese
parents invariably desire SONS, no mat
tor how many children they may have

A Girls Composition on Boys.

Boys is strange things. Boys is of
three kinds. The baby boy, the little
boy and the big boy. ! don't like the
baby boy because he squalls and kicks,
and | have to rock him with a cradle,
but il tho big boy or little boy
squalls and kicks, l can rock him
with stones. l like the little boy best
when he gets candy and gives me
some. But like the big boy best
when it SHOWS, because he can haul me
on his sled. A boy is little man if he
behaves himself, and if he doesn't he's
little devil; that is what mother said
brother Bob was the other day when
he told Miss Smith that mother said
she was an old bore. Ny papa said he
was little boy once, but mother said
she wasn't, and she wishes papa was
a little boy once more. Sister Juiar
says she doesn't like boys, aud when
| saw her and Tom Brown a setting in
the rocking chair Sunday night, size
said she was trying to squeeze the life
out him cause she didn't like him; ;
but | don't think he was hurting any
place, for he wouldn't let her get up.
This is all know about boys, and
mother says she hopes l won't never
know any more about them.

Extract from Speech of Wade IIampton.l
We will Try to aid you, my colored

to aid you in an educational point of
view. We have done much, and
would have done more but for one
thing: When we took this government
we found that your Radical friends had
left a debt OF $l5O,O00 to be paid to
school teachers for their past services
and we have been paying off that debt
out of oar educational fund. We be-
lieve IN paylag as we 60. We don't
believe in opening schools and making
teachers trade off their certificates at
a discount, and allowing the officehold>

giving You education for your children,

they adopted my suggestion, that they
should ratify an amendment to the
constitution which gives to the counties
a two mill tax for educational pur-
poses. That has been honestly appso.

Just from Memphis.


In the bar'room stepped stranger,
Der his face winning smile
That betokened there was danger
To the whisky from his guile.
Scant bis nose and very seedy;
Red his clothes, and from his eyes
Blinked expectant look and greedy,
Which he struggled to disguise.
When he grasped the whisky bottle,
Which the gay bartender passed,
He remarked there were lot ill -
In the place where he was last.
Then he paused; as he expected
Came score of questions quick;
"Just from Memphis?" and suspected
With the fever he was sick.
"Go away" they yelled frighted,
"Take the bottle-don't you pay"
And he took it so delighted,
To the curb over the way.
Kissed it there and huggcd it tightly;
Talked to it with accents sweet;
Grinned with horrid mirth, unsightly,
AT the way the boys were beat.
While his fevered breath grew shorter,
Came a tremble DER his frame;
Then he drank some-cold, cold water;
For they knew his little game.

Wonders Of the Prairie Mirage,

From the New York Evening Postl
The mirages of the plains are of
wonderous beauty. In the autumn,
when all the atmospheric conditions
are perfect, strange transformations
take place upon the prairies. 1t is the
morning Of such day. Along the
eastern horizon a narrow belt of light
appears. AS it grows broader the sill
very gray of its lower line changes to
gold. Fleecy clouds above the belt
take on yellow red. The grayish
shadows of dawn lift slowly from the
earth and impefceptibly float skyward.
Just before the red disk of the sun
peers above the horizon line weird ls-
lands appear in the sky-islands cloth
ed with trees and wavy grasses, ard
held together by threads of yellow,
green and azure. The earth stands
inverted in the sky. The wooded
bluffs and timber lands of the prairie
turn bottom upward in the glucous
ether above, with their feet knee>deep
in water. The groundwork OF this H.
usion is a grayish, semi-opaque mist,
hut the smallest object is limned
against it with marvellous fidelity.
Objects far beyond the vision over the
prairie are bought into plain view BY
this ethereal mirror. | have seen a
little village thirty miles away over
the plains standing in the sky, every
feature traced with the .minuteness OF
a line engraving. could distinguish
the dogs wandering through the
streets, the cows standing idly about
the yard, and the opening and closing
of door in the cabins. l have seen
dog -sledges, whose trains were out Of
sight below the horizon, trail through
the sky in tortuous course; long lines
of cart train, swaying to and tro ovel
the sand dunes of the sky. In all these
cases the ground does not appear
only the objects growing upon or pass
ing over 1t. Everything has the ap-
pearance of growing or standing ii
water. The feet of animals, the roots
of trees, the foundations of houses, are
all lost in an aqueous mist.

The Crinoline.

New Orleans Times.
Twenty five years have been record
ed since the day when crinoline was
invented and first bloomed, so to speak
in the world. We all remember its
delicious outlines, its spreading per-
fection, and-its treachery sometimes
when the wearer sat down. We can
dimly recall how the ballroom bellies
shimmering silk fitted tightly for
couple of inches, and then cascaded out
from the waist with recklcssness and
bounty which alone served to render
1t admirable. We are still haunted by
The recollection Of how philosophy was
naught and investigation futile in the>
orizing upon how the thing was made
and its real object. There was much
speculation upon it if we remember
rightly in 1854. The elder Bennett
devoted four and half columns day
in the Herald to discussing the subject
of ventilation as applied to crinoline
and Faraday, IN England, submitted
to the Spectator a number of powerful
articles in which he erdeavored to
trace the mania tor folding doors to the
new form overskirt.
Darwin, then quite young, assai'ed
the prevalent idea that the spreading
of the dress was due to maltormation of
the gluteus maximus, and based 1t
upon the hypothesis that it was caused
by electrical repulsion.
The most startling effect, however,
was upon the fashionable, not the sclen-
tifc world. 1t was discovered that
halls capable Of containing one thou
sand dancers of assorted sex before
crinoline appeared, could only accom-
modate 24s 3 theoretically, and l43
actual after its introduction. Theatres,
capable OF containing $500 persons, and
employing stars at prices which
necessitated house Of 2o7O TO pay ex-
pences, found themselves bankrupt,
because, with an audience of 1900
every inch of space was crowded. The
J only persons materially benefited were
the aronauts, who, by purchasing a
cast off silk skirt, could make large
balloon cheaply.
The epidemic of crinoline ragged for n
period OF ten years. Suddenly, one
: day, woman from the semblance OF an
inverted top, collapsed to; the ridged
lines of knitting needle, and crino-
. line went tie way Of all flesh. There
] was brief interregnum, during which
the true anatomy of the fair sex NIGH
be studied with less pronencss to ma
e terial error than before. Then came
= the Grecian bend, with its spinal con.
= plications. Then the long trail. Ther
l the short trail. Then no trail at all
! Then the classic drapery and the pul
e back, which left oply conscience to keel
: a woman from freezing to death, ano
= set the world by the ears in frenzy 0
admiration. This has last ed up t.
the present. What next? Is it th
return of the world to the days o
Hebe, and Helen and Andromache
u Is natuie to be superior to art, ant
@ dress but All humble servitor to tn

upon perfectly feasible process by
which he can and will drive gas ont of
streets and houses, and give the cleo
trio light in its stead The new light,
he says, besides being a great deal

expensive than the old one
Moreover, the same wire is to bring

as light, and be as available tor cook
