Japanese Miracle Workers.
Isan Francisco Chrsniclc. |

Among the arrivals on the steamship
City of Pekin were two priests from the
interior of Japan, claiming to be en-
lowed with miraculous power. They
are on their way to the Paris EXPOSE
ton with party of their countrymen,
conducted by two English gentlemen
who have for several years resided in
Japan. A Chronicle reporter interviewed
these gentlemen at their hotel and was
courteously received. t-s...t B f
They informed him that these priests
are religious enthusiasts, who profess,
through the power of faith and by the
medium Of prayer, to be enabled TO do
the most remarkable things-such as
are recorded in the Christian Gospels
as in the power of the followers of
Jesus-referring to those passages which
speak of their being able to remove
mountains, and to swallow deadly poi
sons without harm. One of the mirac-
ulous things that these priests are able
to do is to walk with naked feet over the
edges of swords ground to the keenness
of a razor, and also over bed of live
Goals. They never attempt this without
formal and fervent appeal to their
divinity for protection, and they assert
most positively that it would be impos-
sible for them to perform the works
they do without the Divine interference
in their behalf. They intend to exhibit
these remarkable powers in Paris dur
ing their stay, and will challenge the
devotees of the Christian or any other
faith to do the things that they do.
In answer to the reporters inquiry If
they would exhibit their powers in this
country, the gentlemen said that such
was not their intention, but to spend
few weeks in seeing objects of interest
on the Pacific and Atlantic slopes.
Thanking the gentlemen for o their II cou ls
quest not to mention their names should
be complied with, the reporter withdrew,
regrettipg that he would not have the
opportunity to witness this revival of
one of the lost arts. $3.50 nIt

Advice to Sections.

Bishop Huntington, of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, has word to say to
sections from which they may profit:
" A great deal may be done for quiet
ness in churches by the sexton. The
most quiet sexton / ever saw was an
apostle of silence. His eye, and ear,
and hand were everywhere, and his
genius for forestalling and suppressing
confusion was wonderful. Before service
he always changed his boots for slippers.
He glided about the aisles as noiselesly
as a ghost. He made bookkeeping a
fine art Doors and windows were fixed
so that they would never be heard. He
took care that no sound should come
from the furnace or gas fixtures after
the service began. The fact was that
this was not mere instinct of propriety
or crafty measure of success in his Of
fee it was constant answer of his be-
lieving and humble heart to the solemn
sentence, THE Lord is in His holy
temple What contrast to the clumsy,
fussy, heavy-shod brother, in charge of
the stoves in rural sanctuary remem-
Der, who was sure to start up two or
three times in the midst of prayers,
sometimes when the preacher was doing
his best to get or hold the attention of
his hearers, march around from his seat
to the fire, swing open stridulous stove
door, punch the sticks with poker, and
toss in an additional supply of fuel, CIV
ing us another shrill screech from the
hinges as a finale"

DoN'T rob your neighbor of his good
opinion of himself. Crush woman's
self-esteem, and you make her cross
grained and snappish. Do the same
with man and you only make him
morose. You may mean to create a
sweet, humble creature, but you'll never
do it. The people who think best of
themselves are apt to be the best.
Women grow pretty in believing they
are so, and fine qualities often creep out
after one has been told one has them.
1t only gratifes your own momentary
spite to force your own unfavorable
opinion deep into another's mind. 1t
It never, never did any good. All, if
this world, full of ugly people and awk-
ward people, Of silly people, and vain
people, knew their own deficiencies
what a sitting in sackcloth and ashes we
should havel The greatest of all things
that man can possess is satisfactory
identity. If that which he calls !,
pleases him, it is we'll with him; other.
wise he is utterly wretched. Let your
| fellow-beings alone; hold no Truthful
mirror before their eyes unless with a
pure intention to uproot sin. So may
mirror without flaw never be prepared
for you.

"ShOplifting - i'm Paris.

A Paris correspondent says that the
crime generally characterized as shop
lifting" is very common in Paris, the
great shops and bazars offering excep-
tional temptations Every week we hear
of arrests for petty larcenies, and in
many cases the criminals are ladies of
family and position. ! am sorry to say,
he says that number of American
ladies have been arrested here, and |
remember two which required all the
influence that Mr.. Washburne had to
get them Off They finally compromised
by paying for the goods and by giving
one hundred dollars to the poor.
Kleptomania seems TO be on the increase.
During the past week we have had three
cases that were very sad. One French
lady stole an article worth fifty cents,
although possessing large fortune, and
another the wife of a rich merchant.
has at least 100, 900 frames year to spend.
The third case is that of German
Countess, and the wife of a distinguished
General. Some time ago she took apart
ments in the Rue Lafayette, and soon
won the favor of everybody. She lived
regular life; had plenty of money and
seemed to spend her time in shopping.
Every day she came in with numerous
bundles. The other day she was de-
tected stealing some small articles in the
Magazins du Louvre, and on searching
her, other things we're found on her. She
confessed that her mania for pocketing
small things was so strong that she was
unable to resist it, and she offered to
pay any sum not to be exposed. The
proprietors said they had tried the COM
promise system with ladies so long and
vainly that they now had to try severity,
and they felt bound to prosecute the
Countess for an example. The poor
creature is in pitiful condition to-day,
and her appeals for mercy are heart
rending. All the great shops have to
employ special detectives, and men are
kept watching the counters through
holes in the ceiling. Every week sew
eral ladies are caught, but thus far n
majority have been able to compromise
with the proprietor for large sum OF
money. sH4

O'Connelps Only Duel.

O'Connell, the great liberator, fought
one duel, and killed his man. In a
speech once he alluded TO Dublin as "a
beggarly corporation" BE was almost
Immediately served with challenge
from ID Esterre, a member from Dublin.
0Connell tried in several ways TO avoid
the meeting, He disavowed anything
personal to D'Esterre. The meeting,
however, was insisted upon. When
upon the field 0'Connell made a speech
in which he said that the duel had been
arranged by the political opposition to
take him off. "They have reckoned
without their host" he said, for | am
one of the best marksmen in Ireland. l
shall kill my opponent His words
proved true. DEsterre fell at the first
FIRE MORALLY wounded. O'Connell had
one other meeting with Sir Robert
PeeD, which, however, did not come to
shots. He always declined thereafter to
accept n challenge. Having blood
upon my hands" he said, have regis
tered vow in heaven never TO meet an
other man in mortal combat"
Grattan, the master of English in
vective and whose declarations against
OOTTy anu rioou every SCHouiDOy re-
members, received challenge In re-
Spouse to both. In the case of Cory
the challenge was given on the floor of
the Irish Parliament, and the meeting
took place Immediately after adjourn
ment. Grattan was then very old, and
il was in the deep twilight After the
principals had taken position Grattan
cried out 81 cannot see the gentle
man; let him be brought nearer to me.
He has been placed too far off, Cory
was badly wounded in the arm. The
great English orator Fox had one duel,
in which he was the aggressor. He re-
ceived challenge and accepted It, AZ
ter the exchange of shots he was asked
if he would not disclaim any intention
to personally afrront his opponent. He
replied that it was no time for apologies,
and bid the duel proceed. He threw
his second shot away, and then said he
was willing to make the requested dis
claimer. After some further discussion
he said: by the way,I believe ! am
wounded" Upon investigation this was
found to be fact. na

A CURIOUS case affecting the legal
definition of cruelty to animals " has
just been decided in the English Exche-
quer at the Sittings in Banco The
Magistrates of Upper Geneur-Glynn, in
Cardigan, had decided that it was not
cruelty not to shoot mare which was
in foal, and kept for the sake of her ex-
pected foal-sufering from a hopeless
injury to the leg, which caused her
great torture whenever she moved
about, and this decision the Court of
Exchequer confirmed. But the Magis-
trates had not RENTED for appeal the
point which both the Chief Baron and
Baron Cleasby regarded as the one
really at issue-namely whether it was
not cruelty to place the poor animal in a
field where she could only feed herself
by inficting great torture on herself
through constant motion, instead of
feeding her in stall, where she need
not have used the injured leg to any
thing like the same extent.

Funeral OF a Siamcse God.

The Times of India announces the
death of one of the living idols of Siam.
The eldest of the white elephants, which
was born in 1770, died in its temple at
Bangkok in November last. Every one
knows that this famous white elephant,
before whom q whole people bow the
knee, is the emblem of the King of Siam.
1t is honored with the most beautiful
presents; for the Indians, full of the
idea of metamorphosis, still believe that
so majestic an animal could only be
animated by the spirit of god or of an
Emperor. Each white elephant pos
sesses its palace, vessel of gold, and
harness resplendent with jewels. Several
mandarins are attached to its service,
and feed it with cakes and sugar-cane.
The King of Siam is the only parsonage
before whom it bows the knee and a
similar salutation is rendered it by the
monarch. The deceased idol has been
accorded magnificent funeral. A hum
bred Buddhist priests officiated at the
ceremony. The three surviving white
elephants, preceded by trumpets and
followed by an immense concourse of
people accompanied the funeral car to
the bank of the Menam, where the King
and his nsble lords received the mortal
remains, which were transported to the
opposite bank for burial. A procession of
thirty vessels figured at that curious cere-
mony. All the floating houses, ranged
in double file on the Menam to the num-
Der of over sixty thousand were
adorned with flags of all cOlors and sym
bolical attributes.

A Boys Attempt at Suicide.

A New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer says that Charles
Eichsman, aged fourteen, attempted
suicide by shooting recently, and lies in
a precarious condition. The Eichsmans
are quiet people. Charles complained
of iii treatment from his father and
brothers, and said he was severely
whipped for stealing small sums OF
money and for lying. About week
ago he said to some of his comrades II
he was beaten again he would shoot
himself. On Monday his father threat
ened to have him whipped when his
eldest brother returned from work.
Charles was sent on an errand, when he
went to butchers shop and presented
a note, purporting to have been written
bv his father. The note asked for the
loan of pistol to shoot dog. Charles
had written the note, initiating closely
his fathers handwriting. The butcher
gave him his seven-shooter, and the boy
went away. .s+ .a,t Z 8.,s...a
On the street he met companion
aged ten, and with him went to some
vacant lots. Here he said, g Johnny,
am going to shoot myself; go away,
that's good fellow" He then pushed
Johnny away and took the revolver
from his pocket. Johnny had gone only
a few steps when he heard the report OF
a pistol, and turning, saw young Eichs,
man fall. 1t was found that the ball had
entered lust above the navel, but II
could not be found by probing The
wound is not thought to be fatal, but
death is likely to occur from the nervous
shock. The boy says he did the deco
from fear of punishment, but seems t.
regret it. He is said to have been al
inveterate reader of dime novels.

OLD LAREDO.

The original Laredo, on the Mexican
side, says correspondent of the Civil
Engineer, 10 small town of some seven
hundred inhabitants, New Laredo, on
the Texas bank, having about five hun
dred. Old Laredo is built in the usual
Mexican style, of course. On the inn
mediate bank of the river it is laid off
into very narrow streets, generally the
case with all Mexican towns, and in i'm
itation of the towns and cities of Spain.
The houses are a mixture of stone and
adobe, and generally but one story high.
The Laredoans live in the usual style
of Mexicans, and subsist upon the ever
lasting tartilla, smoked beef and pepper,
the last mentioned being an indispensa-
BILE article for the table of every Next
can, from Diaz down to the lowest peon
that works the coffee plantations of the
Valley of Orizaba. The wealthy citi-
zens of the towns initiate the American
fashions; some of the ladies of the Mex
lean bon ton, in fact, dress fully up to
New York or st. Louis fashion plates,
and what they lack of surprising their
st. Louis, Chicago, or New York sisters
in this respect, is the glorious and warm
brilliancy of their dark Spanish eyes
that fash under clouds of jet black
tresses. which are suffered to languidly
float over their fair foreheads. Old
Laredo is destined, in very short time
to become the terminus of at least two
lines of railway, connecting it with the
vast railway system of the United
States. One of these is the Interna-
tional and Great Northern Railway,
already completed to Austin, the capital
of Texas. Both will connect Laredo
with St. Louis direct, and as good a
thing as the great capitalists of st. Louis
could do would be to at once invest in
Old Laredo lots and blocks, which
neither Diaz nor the robbers of Coahuila
can put upon the backs of pack mules
and carry away.

How Bulgarian Traders Quarrel.

A dispute not unfrequently arises and
a crowd gathers about the irate traders !;
but no blows are struck in the East. A
quarrel is accompanied by a series of
highly exasperated expectations, re-
Winding the observers of nocturnal
feline combat. One of the soi-distant
combatants spits upon the pavement in
what he conceives to be an intensely
malignant and daring way; his antago-
mist Immediately follows suit and spits
upon his side of the street in what he
imagines to be more desperate and
blood-curdling style, and if the contro-
versy is very deadly one, the partici-
pants keep up bombardment of the
unfortunate sidewalk until their lips
are so dry that they rattle in vain to at
tempt to expend more ammunition.
When this point is reached the dis
putants generally walk off in different
directions, turning back every two min
utes for the first two miles to shake
their fists in the direction they suppose
their antagonist to have taken.
