Funeral Of q Chinese Mason.

A stunning Chinese funeral took place
in this city yesterday afternoon, says a
recent issue of Virginia City (Nev.
paper, deceased having been member
of the Masonic order, as it exists among
the Mongolians. An American brass
band headed the procession, which was
composed OF Cinnamon wearing badges
and other decorations denoting their
rank, while in large covered vehicle that
followed the hearse were seated num-
Der of female musicians--a regular
Chinese band, in fact. The instruments
were fddles, guitars, drums, cymbals
and gongs. The noise made by the Ce-
lestial musicians was such that after
they came up and passed not another
note from the American band was heard.
They gave their late brother good
send.off. Behind the native band wagon
came wagon loaded with roast pig and
all manner OF good things eatable and
drinkable to be left at the grave. Strips
Of paper pierced in three places with
crescent-shared holes in rows of five
were strewn by thousands along the
whole route of the procession. The
Americans who crowded the line OF
march-outside Northumberland to
consider the whole thing sort of farce,
and rather jolly affair. A bevy of
Piute squaws standing at the corner of
G and Taylor streets laughed until the
tears ran down their cheeks when the
Chinese band came along. These SIM
pie children of the desert doubtless put
themselves outside of all the viands left
at the grave Of the defunct as soon as
the shades of evening covered the hills.

Roses In Winter.

1t a recent regular monthly meeting
OF the New York Horticultural soci2 2p
the business was to elect half dC1sa
new members and to listen to the read
ing Of a prize essay. Mr.. Peter Hender-
son, the veteran florist, offered in No
vember last a special prize of $25 to the
writer OF the best essay on {" Rose Cul-
ture for Winter Blooming" The prize
went to William Bennett, florist, Flat
bush. Mr.. Bennett advised that cuttings
should be taken from the strongest roots,
as early as January if possible. In
March plant them in the rose house
The border in which they are to be set
should be of strong loamy soil, with no
manure. Drainage of the border should
be perfect. While the roses are grow
ing during the summer months, they
must be we'll watered continually. The
v,rieties best to grow for winter are
Bon Silene, Saffrano, Sprunt, Cornelia
Cook, Nephitos, Douglas. Madam, Tai
cot, Pearl of the Garden and Marshal
Neil. These comprise all shades OF
c,lor known in roses. Pruning should
be done sparingly; roses are usually
hurt by overzealous pruners. The tenn
perature in the night should not average
bove ffty.five degrees Fahrenheit, and
by day seventy.fve degrees. Finally
Mr.. Bennett said that the causes of
failure to produce winter rose blooms
are not Only that the border is usually
manured too richly, but also that the
borders are badly drained and the roses
too closely pruned. Great care should
be taken to begin the temperature low
when the rose-house is closed up in the
fall. If weather permits, the tempera-
ture at the beginning should be forty
five degrees in the night, ranging up to
fifty five degrees in daylight.

German Superstitions.

The directions prescribed as preven-
.tives against all sorts OF witchcraft vary
in different parts of Germany, and a, 9
generally limited to certain provinces.
Thus, in Silesia, people carefully avoid
swallowing cats hair or fragment of
thread, as this imprudence would cer-
tainly cause consumption. In the Tyrol,
eating sparrow is believed to bring
about st. Vitus' dance; and in Hesse,

HTbe Tug OF War"

The recent two days exhibition of
amateur athletic games, il. Gilmore's
garden, New York, resulted in series
of interesting contests, consisting of
rnnning and walking matches, veloci.
pede and hurdle racing, and "tugs Of
war;" in which two "teams catch hold
of a rope and try to pull each other
over a mark. 1he last event in the ex.
hibition-a tug Of war between twenty
men-is described thus by reporter:
Tho concluding event WAS tug of
war-the final of the contest OF the
previous evening-between the Scottish
American team and the team of the EN-
pire City gymnasium. The former had
never before been beaten, and looked
like winners in their pretty uniforms,
displaying magniicently. .developedmus-
cles. The Empire City mer, were knot
ty fellows, apparently workingmen, and
were simply stripped to their shirts and
pantaloons. The struggle vas the fin.
est that ever took place. AT the flush Of
the pistol the Scots went to work imme-
diately with every muscle Of their bod.
les and all the skill for which they have
won reputation, but they did not
bulge their opponents an inch. Then
tbe Empire City men pulled for all they
we're worth, and succeeded in dragging
their opponents foot toward the line.
The cheers, yells, whistles and cat-calls
that arose from the assemblnge at this
were simply deafening. The triumph
of the Scotchmen had been regarded as,
foregone conclusion, and the delight OF
the crowd at this indication that the con-
test was not to be altogether one-sided
was indescribable. Men lost their heads
and jumped around like .lunatics, at the
some time, shouting themselves hoarse
at one team or the other. Until the end
of the contest the din had no cessation
nor the excitement any abatement. The
mortified Scotchmen rallied and made q
supreme effort, bat they lost another
inch in go doing. Pull followed pull in
quick succession; the punched muscles
on the arms, backs, and legs of the
Scotehmen swelled and writhed, and
their powerful bodies swayed from side
to side under an intermittent strain that
seemed almost enough to part the thick
rope. but the others were like rocks, and
yielded not hairs breadth. On the
contrary, they proved quick to take ad-
vantage of every relaxation Of their op-
ponents, and added inch after inch to
their advantage, until they had clear
gain of four or five feet. Then they just
anchored themselves and held on. The
Scotchmen got mad at length, and began
tauntiog the Empire City mer, but they
stopped on being promptly hissed. The
ifteen minutes were fast slipping away.
Bricing themselves, tie Scotchmen
partly arose, and pulled until it wonld
seem that something must break. But
to no avail. Ths~ssrtQl shot went of
which gave the, Empire C,ty men the
vic6ory, and shout aHassshat. shook
