Gloves in Early:::Iinles.

The manufacture of gloves has been
an important trade in France from early
times. In 100, or thereabouts, Charlie
magne granted an unlimited right to
the Abbot and monks of Sithin to make
gloves from the skins of the deer they
killed. Tie Council of AK, 800, pro-
hibited the inferior clergy from wear
ing anything but sheepszin gloves.
Before this the fathers of the church
had inyeighed against the practice of
glove-wearing as effeminate. The GLOW
ers OF Paris constitute considerable
community, having statutes and laws
dating back to 1880, which were CON
firmed, added to and renewed by Louis
XIV. in 1866. The word glove being of
Anglo-Saxon origin Prof. Skeat says
it is referred to in the poem of Beo-
wulf," under the name Of 1t is
conjectured by some that the Saxons
introduced the trade of glove-making
into England. Gloves do not appear to
have been worn here before the end of
the tenth or the beginning of the
eleventh century, and at that time they
were Of special German manufacture:
as five pairs Of gloves formed no small
part of the duty paid to Ethelred III.
by society of German merchants for
the protection Of their trade in this
country, which Strut observes was q
proof OF their great rarity, and conse-
quent limitation to the most exalted
Personages. Gloves were not generally
worn in England until the fourteenth
century, when they became popular
with the better classes, who carried
them in their hands, according to Fair
holt; but not until the sixteenth cent
tnry do we. find constant allusion to
them.-AIl the Yenr ROaI2,d

The Temple OF Diana,

This was built, as Pliny says, on q
soft foundation to guard against the
shocks of earthquakes. The founda-
ton. therefore, was laid in a swamp,
wood and charcoal were interposed to
absorb the wet, and the arches form a
subterranean labyrinth, in which water
stagnates, all of which is SO at the pres
ent day. The superstructure bears all
the evidences of an edifce which was
destroyed eight times, and took $50
years in building and rebuilding. It
now consists of several walls of immense
blocks of marble, the fronts of which
are perforated with small cavities, into
which were sunk the shanks of the
brass and silver plates, with which the
walls were faced. In several places
where the walls have fallen, they have
exposed cornices and holdings of
former edifce, against which the new
walls had been built up. Some of the
vast porphyry pillars which formed the
front portico still lie PROSTATE before it;
but others were brought by Constan-
tine to his new city of Constantinople.
The heather temple was dilapidated to
build the Christian church of st. So
phia, in which these pillars are again
become the great support of an anti
Christian edifce. But the most inter
esting circumstance of the building to
me is the great illustration it gives to
the acts of the apostles. Here is the
place where St. Paul excited the com
motion among the silver and brass
fmiths who worked for the temple; and
over the way was the theater, into
which the people rushed. carrying with
them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's
compas ions. Hence they had q full
view OF the magnificent front of the
temple, which they pointed out as that
(which all Asia worshipeth" and in
their enthusiasm they cried out, "Great
is Diana of the Ephesians!" to whom
such temple belonged.

A Chinese Hotel.

Hotels vary in China, and one or two
in Manchuria had q spacious dignity
about them, and rooms that were bright
and fairly kept; and some are worse
than that we entered now, for We were
on high road where foreigners are be-
coming frequent. Ate the upper end
there was a small building for superior
guests. It was divided into three COM
partments, with earthen floors; the eat
ing den had broken table and broken
chair; the other two were for sleeping,
and lamp cast dim light into the
darkness tiny wick that foated in q
sea of oil in an iron. saucer crusted with
the dirt of centuries. A meal under
such circumstances was not exhilaratng.
The beef we had carried with us was SO
manipulated in the cooking that it
looked exactly like dish of caterpillars;
there was eggplant stewed in poris
broth-but pigs and dogs are the scay-
engers of China; there was seasoning
of sea-slugs lat three skillings pound
and of other condiments that we're
spread at an open window in reach of
the cooks brawny arm there were mess-
es in bowls, balls of soft cakes like
putty from glaciers shop, and there
was musty rice. The trusty Ii changed
the uneaten courses with evident con-
Germ, and at last carried in triumph hot
water for the tea, but against the bowls
which he suggested for tea-cups lip,
nose and stomach revolted, and we with
drew to bed, cold and supperless, like
naughty children. A mattress was
stretched upon the hollow brick coun-
ter which serves as bedstead, and under
meath which we forbade the usual fire,
afraid Of what the heat might bring
forth. We shivered through the early
hours of the night with our feet to the
bare, repulsive wall, and our head to the
passage. In the dull light it seemed as
if hideous things crept along the ceiling,
shining things rested on the walls, and
crawling things gnawed among the
paper and straw on the floor; fingers
were thrust through the paper panes of
the little lattice window, and probably
eyes peeped in, and the rush of chill air
was welcome because it was pure; and,
as we dozed and watched, the mules
munched outside, and the porters talked,
and the querulous song Of some gayer
spirit rose above the other voices.
There was a patter of little feet, a
squeak, rat, more rats. @They some
times fall down throug Oh the thin
ceiling" a friend had said. We could
stand it no longer. The "Hall of 1O, 600
Felicities" had become to us "Tem-
ple of Horrors" and in the third watch
ofthe night we had taken to the road
once more, and saw, below the frosty
stars, the lamps of other carts ss they
sparkled over the plain.-Good Words.

WHICH IS BEST?

The repudiationists Of Middle
and West Tennessee, under the
leadership of Savage, Wilson,

the last Legislature, are laboring
with might and main to defeat the

it is their victory. It will be so
interpreted in and out of the State.

votes half vote with the repudia-
tionists. Now suppose the PROPOSE

anime the curiosities of the institu-
ton of which we have before so
feelingly spoken. Once there, a
base hireling of the bloated bond
holders, with malice aforethought,
locked the door On him, while an
other, with a huge pair of scissors,
clipped off the sacred "pig-tail."
Imagine, gentle reader, his surprise
and grief. How was he, if any
thing should happen to him,to obtain
entrance into that land where all
good Cinnamon are popularity sup
posed to go? The thought was too
dreadful, andshe determined to ex-
tract, in his own bland way, some
wealth from the pockets of the
cruel Sheriff. He hied him to the
Clerk of the United States
Circuit Court and cried out
for vengeance. After much
wearysome thought on the part Of
that much perturbed individual, and
much opposition on his part, he is
sued a writ, calling upon the Sher-
if to appear and show cause why
he should not hand over to his out
ragged victim the small pittance Of
$4,000. You will now see how
much Chinaman's hair is worth.
Why, we would sell our sweet
hearts for half that sum, and it's
warranted genuine at least it was
by the shopkeeper where she got it.
The Sheriff, with a niggardliness
perfectly too awful" refused this
pitiful sum, and said that he was
only an agent of the Supervisors,
who were agents of the city govern
ment of San Francisco, who were
agents Of the whole people. The
issue being settled, those peace
makers and moneyAsayers, the law.
yers, began their music. Mr.. Rows

mems for the same. Also, that the
original act was directed against
one class only, who were subjects o.
a foreign country and entitled tc
the protection of the United States
The case being tried, Judge Field:
in delivering his opinion, said:
1.-The ordinance was intended only
for the Chinese in San Francisco
This was avOWed by the Supervisors
on its passage. It was so understood
by every one, and it is not enforced
against any others The reason ad
vanced for its adoption, and now
| urged for It's continuance, is that only
| the dread of the loss of his queue will
induce Chinaman to pay the file
| Probably the bastinado, or the knout
or the thumbscrew, or the rack, woult
accomplish the same end; and n
doubt the Chinamsn would prefe
either of these modes of torture t,
that which entails upon him disgrace
among his countIymen and carries will
it the constant dread of misfortune
and suffering after death. 1t is no
creditable to the humanity and civil
ization of our people, much less t
their Christianity, that an ordinanc
of this character was possible"
Thus Mr.. Kow won his case
Furthermore, the Chinese, thong

lays bare the private life of the great
preacher, which has not been as exem-
plary as it might have been. The di-
yorce was granted.
