Modern Apothegms.

As in the ships crew the best men
are not always " found aft" so. in all
avocations, ignorance and self-conceit
often enjoy the honors and reward which
true worth and knowledge have won.
Endeavor to honor your station in
life, however humble it may be. You
will thus gain more respect than if you
seek to occupy a position for which
neither your talents nor person are
adapted.
An ignorant man believes only what
he sees. A wise man believes what 9th
ers have seen.
A mans chances of heaven are not
necessarily the less, merely because he
is rich. Neither do believe the Lord
is partial to tramps.
The whole "plan of salvation is
very brief and simple. But our learned
doctors have spun the text out into SO
many quartos and octavos, that it re-
quires collegiate course to understand
the first principles of religion.
Ii the golden description of heaven,
of which we read, is only imaginary
after all, what great disappointment
it will be to many who would like to
"buy in"
At eighteen we know it all at forty
we discover that there are few things
yet we might know. At eighty We are
willing to own that we have only just
begun to learn.
Ii you desire to preserve a good
opinion of yourself, never look at your
pedigree. For. if you do not find any
there that were hung, you will find
plenty that ought to have been.
A goodIy proportion of young nar-
ried couples spend their honeymoon in
building air-castles. Such castles,
however, generally graduate down into
a cedar wash-tub about the third year.
Don't depend too much on love and
the "ole man." my dear boy. They
both are capricious as the mule.
Be~not hasty in assuming responsible
ity; but when you once take hold, hang
on like bulldog.
Do not set the price according to the
ignorance or vanity of your customer,
but according to the quality of the
goods.
Out of fifteen mourners at funeral,
thirteen are figuring up the cost of the
trimming on the coffin. The other two
are wondering which carriage they will
be invited to ride in.

the hearts of my friends, than paraded

On VesuViuS.

An hour and half of this interest
ing walking brings us to the top, where
we halt a moment to look into the cra-
ter, thinking that this is the end of our
journey; but the guide beckons US
over, and, following him down the
side of the crater, we soon find our
selves on level with the crusted lava,
which covers nearly the whole surface
of the crater. about $50 or 200 feet be-
low the top of the cone, and at the
point where it broke down the wall of
the latter in the eruption of 1872. This
crusted lava of the crater is black, and
looks much like Stag from furnace,
but in this case it is extremely hot and
smoking, and it requires great care in
the crater not to have the boots burnt
off or the clothes set on fire, both of
which accidents often happen. I
walked out considerable distance on
the crust, which gave forth ominous,
hollow sounds IN response to my foot
steps and strokes from my stick. Here
and there sudden puffs of steam would
throw up sprays of molten lava and
sprinkle people who happened to be
near. One lady of my acquaintance
thus had her umbrella burnt up, while
a gentleman had his clothing set on
fire, another lost the soles off his boots
by walking on the hot crust, and lady
saw the crust slowly rise up just at her
feet and the molten mass flow slowly
over. OF course hasty retreat is the
thing in such cases. The molten mass
flows to the surface at various points,
and, dipping it up on my stick, I i'm
bedded number of copper coins in lit
tie masses of it. As I walked about in
this not atmosphere the conviction
gradually dawned upon me that the
crater OF Vesuvius was hollow and
deceptive mockery, and an excellent
place to get away from. 1t seems as if
I were literally standing over the jaws
of perdition and within a single step of
entering the seething realms of infer
nal spirits, and as this conviction
gained strength I turned to retrace my
steps, and as did so found an open
seam about foot wide in the crust be-
hind me, and as I was about to step
over this, on looking downward, saw
the white hot mass, within about three
feet of the surface and directly beneath
my feet. I Iquickly regained the smok-
ing ashes of the cone at the side of the
lava and Immediately felt safer, and
here sat down to make further obser.

The Chinese Army and Navy.

Some of the Russian newspapers, in
view of the contingency of a war with
China, give some particulars of the
military and naval forces of that coun-
try. The chief portion of the Chinese
army consists of ''the First Army Corps"
composed of eight Mantchou, eight
Tartar, and eight Chinese corps, and
the garrison of Pekin. The soldiers of
the First Army Corps" are seldom
drilled, and are mostly armed with old
swords, bows, spears, and other anti
quated weapons. Being badly paid,
they earn their living by working az all
sorts of trades. and are of but little use
as soldiers. Their total strength, ex-
elusive of officers, is about los 900 men.
consists of II, 500 men. Besides these
there are two corps 16,5OO strong,
which form the emperor's bodyguard,
and division of infantry Of 10000 men
whose duty it is to keep order in the
capital and its suburbs. There is also
third army, which daring the present
century has been almost exclusively
employed in time of war. This is the
so called "Green Banner Army"
which is composed of eighteen army
corps, in correspondence with the
eighteen provinces of the empire.
Each army corps has five divisions, and
each division five camps. A general
commands each division, and the civil
governors are the commanders in
chief of the troops stationed in their
respective districts. The total strength
of the Green Banner Army" on paper
is about 651 900 men, with 7 900 officers,
but it is probable that not more than
one-half of this force could be brought
into the field. Barely $4,000 of them
are armed with European weapons and
drilled according to the principles of
European tactics; the remainder still
carry spears, matchlocks, and short
swords. Finally, there is kind of ir-
regular volunteer corps, which is called
in when the regular army has proved
incapable of suppressing an insurrection
or putting down brigandage. The corps
is even worse armed than the others,
possesses but little training, and is
hardly amenable to discipline. AS for
the Chinese navy, its ships are for the
most part badly constructed and INSULT
ciently manned. There are a few Euro
pean officers. but the majority of the
naval officers are Chinese, who are very
ignorant and inefficient. The fleet is
divided into three groups, those of
Canton, Fukien and Kiang-su. The
Canton division consists of twelve YES
sells, three of which are screw junks,
two English guH-boats, and seven
steamers, also purchased in England,
and commanded by foreign officers.
The ships of the Fukien fleet were built
at the docks of Foo-choo, under the di
rection of a French Lieutenant of the
navy in the Chinese service. These
ships are provided with good engines,
and are armed with French naval guns.
Among them are corvette with thir-
teen guns, six gunboats, and eight
transport ships. The Kiang-su Divi-
sion consists of two frigates, nine gun
boats, and few transports, badly
built and manned. 1t is said that the
Chinese Government is now preparing
to reorganize its army and navy, and
some Chinese officers have been at
tached to a Prussian regiment with

SEATTLE. WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
The Bonnie Hands That Make Good
Bread.
BY SAMUEL EDGAR.

/ own the charms of rounded arms,
Of eyes that loves soft lustre shed,
OF raven hair, and tresses fair
OF cheeks that toy with white and red,
OF pouting lips where Cupid dips
The arrows that to hearts are sped;
But none of these my fancy please.
Like the bonnie hands that make good bread.
Some handshave art to move the heart
By waking music's sweet appeal;
Some borrow dyes from perfect skies,
And through the canvas make us feel;
Some make the dress fair forms caress,
To win the heart and turn the head
For me more rare, beyond compare,
Are the bonnie hands that make good bread.
Gay maiden, vain the rustling train,
Those jeweled hands so idly crossed;
That idler mind can pleasure fad
In every hour ignobly lost
But FL not seek wheneer l wed,
For ieweled hands, or gold, or lands,
But for the bonnie hands that make good bread.

Where Booth is Buried.

The Washington correspondent of
the Buffalo Commercial writes: 1t was
only after some patient inquiry that I
could ascertain the facts, which are in
teresting, and so far as know are yet
unpublished. Booth died, as will be
remembered, in a barn in Maryland,
from wound received from the mus
ket of Boston Corbett, His body was
brought to Washington, and after hav-
ing been identified by the court-martial
before which his fellow-conspirators
were tried, was dissected by the sur
geon-general of the army. The brain
and heart and some other parts of the
body were preserved iH alcohol. and
are now on exhibition in the medical
museum of the surgeon-general's Of
fee. The building in which the assas-
sination occurred was Ford's theater.
The government confscated it, but
afterward Ford was paid its full value,
and it has since been used as the head
quarters of the medical corps of the
army. The brain and heart of Booth
are in jars, standing in case that is
situated very near the actual scene of
the assassination.
After the surgeon had done with
Booths body, it was buried in a grave
in the arsenal grounds. Only half a
dozen persons knew the exact spot,
which was unmarked. In 1867 Edwin
Booth, the actor, sent Mr.. Weaver, the
sexton of Christ's church, Baltimore,
to Washington, with request that the
remains of his brother might be taken
up and removed to the family burial
place. After some delay the rec dest
was granted by President Johnson,
who was finally appealed to, and Mr..
Weaver took the body to the cemetery
in Baltimore and buried it beside the
elder Booth and others of the family.
The removal was conducted with great
secrecy, and was concealed from Sec
retary Stanton.

It is asserted that DR.. Affenberg has
cured woman who had been severely
bitten by mad dog, and who
showed unmistakable symptoms of hy-
drophobia. He injected curare (woorili
poison) under the skin, to the amount
Of three grains within five hours. The
curare counteracted the effect of the
poison producing hydrophobia SYM
toms, but threatened to cause death by
paralysis of the heart and respiratory
organs. Artificial respiration. how
ever, kept up vital action until the
crisis was over.

Attention is being called in the West
to the cruelties inflicted upon hogs and
cattle by drivers and railroad employees.
A favorite instrument for hurrying the
beasts is pole with screw brad on
the end. This iron is jabbed into the
flank Of hog or steer, and on being
Withdrawn it tears oat piece of flesh.
A Chicago packer says that out of 3 900
hides he found 2,1OO punctured. A
common means of rousing exhausted
cattle is to twist their tails until the
joints are broken. A law to punish
these tortures has been passed by the
Illinois Legislature.

erary phenomenon. Though he has
been before the public as an author
since 1861, he is only ~ years old. This
is the more singular because his fame
rests upon extensive scholarship and
earnest investigation OF topics that men
seldom master until after middle life.
He was born near Dublin, decided to
be an author at II, and had read more
books at IA than most young men at 20.

Yesterday fornoon when it be-
