A class of thirty Chinese Sunday
school scolars which has been formed
in CINCINNATI held Christmas fes.
tival last Sunday evening. One of
the features of the evening was an
address by Chan Pom Tip, a scholar,
IN which he thus pointed out how
hard thlng going to school is in
Cuina; I'VE have more letters in
the alphabet in our language than you
could count, but only use from 5000
to $500, that is all. We do not
commence to learn the alphabet first,
but learn it as We go along in our
reading. Tue first thing we study is
to read Confucius, our religion. The
children who first started TO school
take but very few lessons from Con-
fucius. They are instructed by their
teachers how to behave and what
tley ought to do for their parents,
aud how to pay good respect to
strangers. They must bow and call a
stranger a teacher; for the name of
teacher is held with great respect
Tue school-teacher has full charge
of the cnildreD, and the parents have
very little to do with them after they
commence to attend the school. The
teacaer sees the children more and
So understands thembetter, and sees
them in tue wrong, SO they can cor
rect them better than their parents.
After the first six months they begin
to study Coofucius, and they study
until they get through the four
Kings. Perhaps the children can get
through Confucius and the four
Kings in three or four years. Then
they go to college if they can afford
it. TIE four Kings are written by
the disciples of Confucius; he had
seventy-two, where Cnrist had twelve.
You can never get through college
until you become an officer. If you
do not want to become an officer you
have to leave college.
SIT is much harder for US to go to
school when we are little. We have
to be in school in the morning as soon
as we can see to read, and when the
teacher comes. we have to recite our
lesson, and if We do not know it, we
cannot go home for breakfast. After
breakfast we practice writing two
hours. Then the writing-books are
taken up to the teacher. We are not
allowed to play Or talk to any one
in the school. We all study out loud
at the same time and on different
lessons. The teachers are very strict,
and when it gets late and one cannot

Letter from Nashville.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, FEB. 10


Mr.. EDITOR: The lost is found,
McGlothlln turns up, and the ex-
pected revelations of bribery and
corruption by this nominally noto-
rious character proves to be an un-
satisfactory and seemingly contra
dlctQry and inconsistent statement
of heresays, offers but no accept
ancies, and nothing that would con
denim any one. 1t is an evident fact
that if he knows anything, he has so
far failed to reveal it. And from the
anxiety manifested on the part of the
prosecution and the testimony of
some other witnesses, it seems that
he has done some unwarranted talk
ing or swearing, one. One Mr..
Dowd was introduced as witness
to-day, and states that McGlothlin
was 10 his bar-room during the elec-
ton of State officers, and wanted
$40 bill changed, and held roll of
money in his other hand, which, had
it all been money, and in $40 bills,
would have amounted to four or five
hundred dollars. DoWd stated that
he was well acquainted with Nc
Glothlin, and insisted in this con-
nection that he might have had paper
in the middle, as some fellows liked
to show off. McGlothlin also said
that this roll will get two of them.
G. W. Westbrook was put upon the
stand. McGlothlin stated yesterday
that when he was summoned he had
letter from his father informing him
Of the serious illness of his mother,
and this was the grand reason why
he did not appear at the time indi-
Gated by the summons. Westbrook
said that McGlothlin was at his room,
or, at least, they were together Fri
day night before he left, and told
him, Westbrook, that it wouldn't do
for him to give testimony before that
committee, and said or intimated
that it would be the ruin of some one,
but said nothing about his mother
being sick or gong to leave on that
account. The further examination
of McGlothlin has been resumed this
evening, but nothing new developed.
The naked facts about the whole
matter are these, and nothing more !:
Lessrs. Davis and Plummer have
certainly been approached, and like
many others in and out of such
places, were unable, from inexperi-
ence, to realize the situation, and to
foresee the attitude in which they
woz,'d be placed by the publicity of
an easy, friendly and seemingly fa-
vorable response. While they
did not sell out, and in reai-
ty did not want to do SO,
yet they withheld any insult
from the parties offering, and talked
the subject over in kind and inof-
fensive manner. This gave rise to
the supposition that they would sell,
and some fellows here, failing in their
objects, which it was almost, if not
entirely, impossible to avoid this
year, became fretted, and in pas
sion charged that some purchases
had been made. Now, the better
plan is to bury the tomahawk, have
peace in the camp, and
IL arm 10 feel another's woe,
To hide the fault We see."

DIR. Hollands Invention.

Mr.. EDITOR: I have just received
axother letter from DR.. Holland,
with some additional facts about ap-
plying his invention to propel trains
of cars, which I hasten to furnish
your readers.
The doctor says: "I have my
machinery all complete in my loco
motive. It is one of the largest
size passenger engines, 40 tons, and
you may tell your Knoxville railroad
proprietors, to whom you referred
in your last, that I took the ma
chinery and entirely cold, 800 gallons
of water, and in As minutes from the
time of lighting my match to kindle
the fire, I had 20 pounds of steam
in the boiler, and in less than one
hour had 13O pounds, and the eng ne,
or rather boiler, blew off at both the
safety and pop valves, I have made
three frings and ,nere was compara-
lively no variance. Each time ten
to twelve gallons of oil-naptha-
were consumed, costing here New
York city, 36 cents, as against coal
here to do the same work, not less
than $500. am thoroughly salts
fed that I can run, at less than 8
cents per mile, full train of cars. |"
Let me add that crude oil is used
for no other purpose except to de-
compose the water; that the fluid
which heats with such rapidity is
hydrogen gas; that in all stoves and
even under the boiler you see the
beautiful pale blue fame which every
chemist reorganizes as hydrogen.
hope any one who wishes to see
this grand invention in actual opera
ton, upon going to New York City,
will not fail to go to Is Eesey street.
After a few months we expect to
have one or more retorts at tuis in-
stitution for daily use in in our
boarding hall, at which time we in
vite your readers to call and see it
more conveniently than to go to
New York.
