why the Heathen are Recalled

Chicago, 30.-Boston special: The
Journal publishes the reason which actu-
ated the Chinese government in recall
ing Its young men, who are students at
Hartford. 1t seems the Emperor, a year
ago, dispatched mandarin in high rank
TO Hartford to inquire into the workings
of the educational commission. This in
dividual had never been outside the lin
its Of his native land, snd possessed only
book knowledge of foreign countries. On
reaching Hartford he was Mortified at
finding the wards Of his nation had be-
come Americsnized to an alarming de-
gree, some being so far acclimated
as to have parted with their pig
tails. The shock was too great for the
nerves of the conservative functtonary.
Yung Wing, the able head of the CON-
mission, failed in his efforts to clear
away the prejudices Of his visitor, who
declared the effect oftheir sojourn was to
ALLEVIATE the boys from their country and
its customs, to undermine the most
sacred traditional principles of govern
ment, and socially to implant and fuster
seditious ideas which would become q
germ Of social, if not civil and religious
trouble among their own people; the
whole influence and tendency of the
mission was pernicious and dangerous in
the extreme. He therefore recommended
the immediate abandonment Of the en-
terprise and the recall of all students,
and this course has been adopted by thu
home government It is understood the
chinese government was very largely in
fueRced by the fact that colleges and
scientific schools in America do not fur
nish practical industrial instruction, and
was also misled by its special envoy de-
Claring that the machinery and manu-
featuring products in the great mills of
the country were inferior. The students
will therefore be sent to France and
Germany. Chinese officials, residents in
this country, are trying 30 convince their
government that the statements about
the inferiority OF our machinery and
products are unfounSed.

A Filler for porous and Hard Woods
Use boiled oil and corn starch stirred
into very thick paste. Add little japan
and reduce with turpentine. Add no color
for light ash. For dark ash and chestnut,
use little raw sienna for walnut burnt
umber and slight amount of Venetianred;
for bay wood, burnt sienna. In no case
use more color than Is required TO overcome
the white appearance Of the starch unless
you wish TO stain the wood. This filler ls
worked with brush and rags in the usual
manner: Let it dry 48 hours, or until ii is
in condition to rub down with No. sand
paper, without much cumming up, and if
an extra fine finish is desired fill again with
the same materials, using less oil, but more
of japan and turpentine. The second coat
will not shrink, it being supported by the
first coat. When the second coat is hard,
the wood Is ready for finishing up in any
desired style or TO any degree of mcety by
following up the usual methods. This
formula is not intended for rosewood, and
Will not be satisfactory IL used therefor.

There recently expired in the infirmary
Of the prison at Odessa an individual, by
name Vacili Tchoumaik, native of Ismail,
of Kalmuck descent, who during the major
part of the ninety-six years of his life ap-
pears to have been an unmitigated public
nuisance. Born about 1856, Vacili grew
up to the physical proportions of Hercules
and the strength of Samson. He was duly
drawn for the conscriptioH, and served his
time as soldier, but he disdaiDed such
placid laurels as those which crown the
shake of the celebrated Russian drum-ma-
ior whose waxen efigy, in full uniform and
holding little wax dwarf in the hollow of
one big hand, smiles through his mustache
upon mankind at Nine. Tussaud. On OBJ
tanning his discharge V4cli Tchoumaik
adopted brigandage as his profession; and
il is estimated that IN the course of his ca
reer as bandit, he committed no fewer
than eighty murders. During many years
he and the outlaws forming his band kept
the country round about Odessa in a con-
tinuous state of terror, while the Russian
police rather connIved at than interferes
with the miscreants' doings. At length an
exceptional superintendent named Khordo
hcvsky undertook the task Of abrogating
him. The brigand chief was surrounded
in roadside inn where he had taken refuge,
and after sanguinary struggle he and
several of his followers were captured,
The fine old Russian code of criminal iurls.
prudence being then prevalent, Vacili re-
manned nine VI ars in prison before he was
tried. In 1859, however, lie was sentenced
to the knout and to 20 years hard labor In
Siberia. The brigand was at that period
IA years of age. Five years afterws rd he
escaped and made his way back to Odessa
but he was again caught, tried, and rele-
gated to penal servitude. Once more, In
1869, he made his temperance at Odessa,
and after two years confinement in Jail put
Justice to the trouble of again trying him,
and sending him back to Siberia. In the
middle of last May this patrlarchal bandit
made fifth and final appearance in the
vicinity of Odessa, and distinguished him
self by attempting to- steal w9gon and
horses belonging to some German colonists.
The sturdy Teutons, however, gave the
veteran desperate very warm reception.
They soundly belabored Vacili and COM
panion of his, and. binding them hand and
foot, delivered them over to the authorities.
Tchoumaik was found to have had seven
of his ribs broken, and to have been other
wise so roughly handled that he was re-
moved to the prison infrmary, where, on
the 30th uitimo he died. He was ninety
six years OF age, and but for the drubbing
which he received at the hands of tine Ger
man colonists might have survived 10 have
been centennarian among convicts.
