How they Manage Things In China.

Chinese elopements are well managed.
None but the lazy deserve the fair ;
there is neither ladder nor trellis to be
scaled and the old gentleman is easily
persuaded that whatever is, is right.
There was Ho, the LATEST wight Of Hang
chow, who lived by odd jobs, and never
could get regular employment. One
night, while he was drinking tea at a
wayside inn, he boasted that he would
never do another days work unless he
could find a rich employer with pretty
daughters. An old fellow named Tsiang,
who overheard the remark, was so en-
ragged by it that he engaged all the
laborers who were present except Ho,
and refused to give him nights lodg-
ing. Poor Ho went to sleep in Tsiang's 3
back yard, and very mournful was he.
Suddenly a great bundle of cloths was
thrown out OF a window. Thinking
there were thieves in the house, and not
being in mood to protect the farmers
household, he put the bundle on his
back, and trudged down the road with
it. Soon he heard steps behind him..
The infuriated farmer? Not 80. 1t was
only a pretty girl. She joined him, and
walked by his side without saying a
word or looking at him. On they went
through the dark night, mile upon mile,
and Just as the day was breaking they
reached the village inn. Then she
looked at him, and shrieked. 1t was
not the young cousin who had wooed
her to pack up her clothes and meet him
at midnight. It was only poor lazy Ho.
well, well," she said Il" there is nc
help for it. We must get married as
soon as possible.
Married they we're the old gentleman
behaved nicely ; dowly, immense.

A Year In the New York Police Courts.

From the annual report of the New
York board of police justices, we find
that the total number of arrangements
in the police courts for last year were
1866, of whom 57.859 were males and
22,OO6 females. o: these some thirty
per cent. were discharged.
There is showing Of decrease in the
number of offenders compared with the
previous year of 5,3S8, or eight and a
half per cent. . -,
For the four years ending with 1876
there were 338, 1886 arrests and arralgn-
ments.
If the arrangements for violation OF
the liquor law are excluded we find re.
duction in offences of ten and one-third
per cent. in 1877 as compared with 1874
and a reduction of six per cent. as COM
pared with each of the years 1875 and
1876.
There we're 1929 persons held to
answer under charge of felony, 799 OF
burglary, twenty-one of carrying con-
cealed weapons, fifty eight Of embezzle.
ment, 129 of false pretences, $40 OF
felonious assault, 813 of grand larceny,
13O of robbery, All of larceny from the
person, ten Of homicide, and 2,79S OF
petit larceny.
Violation Of the liquor law imprison-
ed 1922 persons.
There we're %, ,669 persons arrhigned
for intoxication. Even at these terrible
! figures the report shows decrease OF
thirty three per cent. during the past
three years. In 1874, 4O,777 were ar
rested for this offence.
The number of venders of obscene
literature has been reduced one-hal1
since 1876.
Fines and fees were collected in the
several police courts during the yea,
amounting to $42, 057.

The Story of May.Day.

When the Romans came to Britain to
live, many hundred years ago, they
brought, of course, their own customs
and festivals, among which was one in
memory of Flora, the Goddess of Flow
ers. The heathen-our ancestors, you
know-adoLted them with delight, be-
ing in the childhood OF their race. They
became very popular; and when, some
years later, a good priest, Gregory,
came (from Rome also) to convert the
natives, he wisely took advantage Of
their fondness for festivals, and not try
ing to suppress them, he simply altered
them from heather feasts to Christian
games, by substituting the names Of
saints and martyrs for heather gods and
goddesses. Thus the Floralia became
May-day celebration, and lost none of
it's popularity by the change. On the
contrary, it was carried on all over Eng
land for ages, till it's origin would have
been lost but for few pains-taking old
writer's, who "made notes" of every
thing.
The Floralin we care nothing for, but
he May-day games have lasted nearly
10 our day, and some relics of it survive
n our young country. When yon crown
q May queen, or go with May party.
you are simply following custom that
the Romans began, and that our remote
ancestors in England carried to such
lengths, that not only ordinary people
but lords and ladies, and even king and
queen laid aside their state and went I" a
Maying" early in the morning, to wash
their faces in May dew, and bring home
fresh boughs and flowers to deck the
May-pole, which reared it's fowery
grown in every village. .-iS. Nicholas

4 Letters Remarkable Journey.

A letter was mailed in the New York
Post Office on February 6, 1876, con.
tanning ten gold sovereigns, and directed
to Mary Botten, Aschueha, Australia.
The letter was sent to San Francisco,
and was returned to New York. Thence
II was sent to London, to Australia, to
the dead-letter Office at Sydney, and
thence at the request of the sender, it
was forwarded to Demmnquillen, New
South Wales. Not delivered there, 1t
went next to the dsad-letter Office at
Melbourne, thence to London, thence to
the dead letter office at Washington, and
finally it came back to New York, more
than two years after it started. But the
sovereigns were missing. Inquiry at
the foreign Office elected the response
that the case was closed. It was after
wards found from marks on the envelope
that the loss must have occurred between
sydney and Melbourne. The case was
again opened, and the result was that
the sovereigns were found in the Mel
bourne office in their luchskin covering:
George Wilson, the sender, has received
the money from Postmaster James, OF
New York. More than forty letters
were sent from the New York Office re-
parding the matter.
