NEW YORK. December THE two Chi
nese treaties, while separate instruments,
will be considered together. and be treated
as virtually one by the Executive. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Hayes, in his annual
message, will make a general statement Of
the nature Of these treaties, and transmit
them TO the Senate in executive session,
with . full statement Of the work Of the
Commission. In negotiating them their
prompt ratification a. the hands Of the
Senate is expected. The Chinese authori-
ties have already been exerting their in
auence through their Consular Office in
Havana, to check any further emigration
of Chinese labor 10 the South. Strong
efforts have been made for some time past
by the sugar planters in Louisiana, to i'm
port Chinese labor from Cuba, but thus
far it has met with little success, owing to
the opporition Of the Chinese Consuls. aud
hereafter il is likely to be almost stopped.
II is believed that the new treaty Of com
merce with China Nill give a great impetus
to trade between the two countries.
Another dispatch says: The first treaty
relates mainly to the question Of Chinese
immigration, and the other is a com
mercial treaty. In the frat, the Chinese
Government practically leaves the subject
OF the regulation Of immigration 10 the
decision and control Of the United States.
In return for this concession. some new
and important commercial privileges have
been granted IN the second treaty, which
regulates the whole spbiest os commercial

Retiring Army Officers.

WASHINGTON, December lit is under
stood that the chief obstacle in the way of
the army retirenlents, favored by Presi-
dent Hayes, is the hostility Of General
Sherman. He does not believe in retiring
men who, although old, are doing very
we'll, anil who are not so old as staff off,
GERS in Europe. 1t appears there are q
officers, equa! aud above the grade OF
Lieutenant-CUlonel, who might he retired
under the law Ms vacancies occur on the
retired list. This would promote l35
younger officers, who, with their friends,
are urging that the law should be enforced.
All Of the p, except s, are staff officers.
1t is a source OF great concern to the Off
GERS whether President Hayes persists in
his desire TO Keep the retired list full, or
whether Genera! SAerman's policy, not to
retire men Is long Is II can possibly be
sxolded, Is adopted. The general opinion

Some months ago an English tourist,
lingering in country church-yard, was
present at a funeral, and observed among
the group OF mOurners young man, who
particularly attracted attention by his
swollen face, and the utter detection of
his appearance. Here at least is one
true mourner," thought the Englisnman.
While this thought was passing through
his mind the supposed mourner took up
a skull which lay on the top ola heap Of
dry mold and crumbled bones. He
raised it to his lips, and, with his own
teeth, extracted tooth from it.
Horror filled the stranger as he watched
this proceeding, and saw him throw the
skull carelessly away, while he wrapped
the tooth in paper and put it in his
pocket. "Can you tell me why he did
thatw asked our tourist of an old man
who stood beside him during the funeral
ceremony. GAY, surely, your honor; the
pocr bay was very bad wi the toothaehe,
an it's allowed to be a cure if you draw
tooth frae skull wi your ain teeth.
He'll sew the tooth in his clothes an
wear it as long as be lives" "You don't
tell me SO! Do you think the remedy
will be efeetualw It's like enough,
sir" replied the old man, showing where
a tooth was sewed in the lining Of his
own waistcoat. "It's five years since
pulled that ane the same way, an never
had touch O. the toothaehe since"

$50 quickly sometimes" said Sterne,
''has the wheel Of fortune turned round
that many man has lived to enjoy the
benefit Of that charity which his own
piety projected" A dozen years ago a
New Orleans banker, the founder of one
OF the principal railroads in Louisiana,
helped to build charity home. He was
induced subsequently, to enter into the
scheme of establishing gas works at
Havana. He lost his whole fortune.
Later he became an inmate of the estab-
lishment his fortune had helped to build.
Now he has recovered and has aceumu-
lated another fortune.

a Serious Obstacle
IlanYhr AnMs


A young darkeY had conceived violent
passion for neighboring mulattress, and
taking her one night behind him on an old
farm mule set out for Georgetown to have
the ceremony of marriage celebrated. But
in endeavoring to navigate mud-hole on
the Georgetown hill the mule apparently
lost his power of locomotion, and the dark
ey got down to examine into the cause of
it. Unfortunately, he got too close to the
animals hind legs, and an unexpected con-
vulsion Of the mules extremities shot him
out to the side Of the road with violence
which resembled the discharge of a canon
ball
"What's de matter ~ inquired the pros
pective bride, astonished at these hurried
movements.
"Matter! dar's heap de matter. Dis we'd

A Wonderful EIes1RlerizeE'.

Strange stories come from India Of the
feats performed by a native mesmerize1
named Buni, whose magnetic power would
appear to be found to be quite Irresistible
by the lower animals, upon which he ex-
clusiyely exerts it. He gives seances, to
which the public are invited to bring al
manner of ferocious and untamable wild
beasts, and holds them with glittering
eye. In a few seconds they subside into a
condition of cataleptic stiffness, from which
they can only be revived by certain passes
which he solemnly executes with his right
hand
A snake in a state of violent Irritation
was brought to BUM by menagerie pro-
prietor, inclosed in a wooden cage. When
deposited on the platform it was WIithing
and kissing fercely. BUM bent over the
cage and fixed his eye upon its occupant,
gently waving his hand over the serpent's;
restless head. In less than minute the
snake stretched itself out, stiffened, and
lay apparently dead. Buni took it up and
thrust several needles into its body, but it
gave no sign of life. A few passes then
restored it to its former angry activity.
Subsequently savage dog, held in a leash
by its owner, was brought in, and, at
Buni's command, let loose upon him. AS
it was rushing toward him, bristling with
fury, he raised his hand, and in a second
the fierce brute dropped upon its belly as
though stricken by lightning. He seemed
absolutely paralyzed by some unknown
agency, and was unable to remove mus
Gle until released from the magnetizer,s
spell by a majestic wave Of his hand.

a Serious Error.

So many people rush unthinllingly into
matrimony! Marriage is SO often the re-
suit of circumstances which throw two per-
sons together-of !; consideration Of the fit
ness of things-of momentary impulses, Or
Of cool deliberation-and which should be
the happiest state Of things is often the un-
happiest. And people speak of a wedding
as they would 4 lottery, where there are
more blanks than prizes. The only true
matches are made by love, and when two
people have really loyed-really loved from
the depths of their very hearts-no othing
eanever quite part them again. We do not
say this of those who have only been called,
or called themselves, lovers. a couple
may be engaged, or it may be, even
married, and yet that wonderful tie of great
love may never have existed between them.
When 1t does exist, all the waters cannot
quench it, nor the seas cover it. Forever
and foreVer---atlast, in the fcreverof II ffe-
thosetWo are more than any two who have
not loved can pc. Sometimes happy tate
actually nnites two who love thus, and
they live long, happy life together.

ton turned upon the subject of genera

had never seen him again; another said he

third would give one hundred dollars tc
see an honest man.
II have not yet lost my faith in human

seat. aAny of you may call in stranger

bill to go and get changed. If he fails to

are. "
Halt-a-dozen men rushed to the door
A seedy, gaunt and evil-looking African
was peddling by in the rain, and he was
selected to make the test.
Stranger" said the man who hadn't
lost confidence, stake this five-dollar bill
around the corner and get it changed, and
will give you ten cents.'
The black man departed Withouta word,
and for the next ten minutes the laugh
was on the man who sent him. 1t died
away, however, as the African slouched
in, handed out the bill, and said:
II runned all ober, and nobody could
change him."
He was given his ten cents, and the man
who lost the quarter by the boy said he
