Languages of Finger. Rings.

In case of gentleman wishing to
marry-literally "in the market with
his heart-he wears a plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger of the
left or heart hand. When success at
tends his suit, and he is actually en-
gagged, the ring passes on to the third
finger. Ii, however; the gentleman de-
sires to tell the fair ones that he not
only is not /" in the Market" but that he
does not design to marry at all, he wears
the signet upon his little finger, and all
the ladies may understand that he is out
of their reach. With the fair sex the
laws of the ring" are !: A plain or
chased gold ring on the little finger OF
the right hand implies not engaged"
or, in plain words, "ready for propos-
ais, sealed or otherwise" When en-
gagged the ring passes to the third finger
of the right hand. When married the
third finger of the left hand receives it.
If the fair one proposes to defy all siege
to her heart, she places the rings on her
first and fourth finger, one on each
like two charms. to keep away the
tempter. 1t is somewhat singular that
this latter disposition of rings is very
rare.

Swearing Cinnamon.

In the county court the trial OF the
People vs. All Chez and Ah Quong, in
dicted for robbing a Chinawoman of
jewelry and other valuables, was begun.
The parties to the suit being all Mongo-
lians, it was concluded to swear the wit
nesses by the most binding Chinese
form. As the ceremony consisted of
sacrifice both by fire and blood, it was
found necessary to adjourn to the side
walk in front of the courthouse. A
chicken and the necessary joss sticks or
wooden .tapers were procured, and the
latter stuck in the ground and lighted.
While they were burning the prosecut-
robbed) held an animated consultation
with the Rev. Mr.. Nevin, court inter-
prefer, after which two wax tapers were
lighted, and after being brought in con-
tact with the neck of the chicken, were
stuck in the ground. Now began the
serious business. A formidable piece
of yellow paper, covered with Chinese
characters, was brought out and handed
to Mr.. Nevin. who declined to receive
it, saying in English that if he or any
white man read it the ceremony would
lose much OF it's force, as the witnesses
would claim that they had not under
stood him. The document was then
rendered to several Cinnamon, all of
whom refused to read it, one saying in
good English that he would not read the
paper for hundred thousand dollars.
Finally Chinaman was found brave
enough to undertake the Office. He
read the dread formula first to the
woman, who repeated it as he read. At
the conclusion a large bundle of paper
previously prepared, was lighted. over
which the woman stepped a couple of
times, and then took possession of the
chicken and the sacrificial knife, clea-
ver-shaped implement, which had lain
by the side of the fire during the read.
ing of the oath. The male witnesses
were then arranged in front of the fire,
the oath was gain read, each repeating
it after the reader, who, after he had
finished reading it, threw it on the fire.
The Cinnamon then, one by one, step
ped over the fire, the head of the chick
en- was chopped off by the woman and
the sacrifice was accomplished. We
made an effort to get translation OF
the oath, but were unsuccessful, Mr..
Nevin informing our messenger that,
as he had not read the document, he
could not accommodate us.--L0s An

A PrOfessiOna al Tiger-SIayer.
D'Harnancourt, the great professio

D'Harnancourt, the great professional
tiger-slayer, who is employed by Great
Britain, through the government of
Singapore, to exercise his speciality, is a
native of the United States, though of
French extraction. His father having
been taken prisoner while with Napo.
leon in the Moscow campaign, was sent
to Siberia, whence he escaped, and
came to this country. The SON was
born on the plains of the far West, and
early bccamea hunter, ranging in search
of game ever an immense territory.
DESTROYS to see the world, he went to
sea was wrecked off Formosa, and
badly treated by the natives OF that
island. An English captain induced
him to visit Singapore, where he got
his engagement, his price being $50 per
head for tigers. DHarnancourt is saw.
ing money to go to Algeria, where he
will be under French authority. and
where he can kill lions instead of tigers,
as he covets the fame of lion-slayer,
and is desirous to rival Girard. The
American Gaul is said to be not only
fearless, but reckless, and has had many
desperate encounters, from which good
luck alone has delivered him. He is in
clined to intemperance also, and it is
not unlikely that some tiger will ere
long hunt him with fatal success, and
save him the trouble of journey to
Africa.
