Chinese Infanticide.

We have all heard the Chinese
Charged with infanticide. We believe
that crime to be less prevalent with them
than it is with u.s. If children are ever
exposed, as has been seen on a wayside
tar near Honam, we believe that bitter
want and hope that charity would
provide for the child better than the
mother could have been the moving
causes. As general rule, self-interest
acts as the strongest bar to this vice.
That the life of the male children should
beIpreserved is most important, as the
Chinese law will compel the sons to
maintain their parents, and in the event
of all the sons dying no one would be
able to offer that worship at the tomb of
the father and mother on which their
happiness in another state is supposed
to depend. With the girls preservation
is almost as important, and they are a
marketable commodity either as wives
or as servants. Indeed, it is no very rare
thing to see basketful of babies sent
down from Canton to Hong Kong for
sale at prices ranging from g to s..
These are all girls. In denying the ex-
istence of infanticide it is necessary to
make one exception. This is among the
Tan-kia, or boat population. These are
race of people of different descent and
religion from the Chinese, governed by
their own magistrates, and SO looked
down upon by the other classes that no
child of boat-woman can compete in
the literary examinations, or, whatever
his ability may be, become an aspirant
for office. This class is excessively SUI
perstitious, and we have heard it stated
by missionaries that when child be-
longing to people of this class suffers
from any lingering malady, and recovery
becomes hopeless, they will put it to
death with circumstances of great cruel
ty, believing it not to be their cnild but
changeling, and fancy that a demon
has taken the place of their offspring for
the purpose of entailing on them expense
and trouble for which they could never
iget any return. Temple Bar.

The following spicy article is from the
WAynssburg Republican OfthiS week:
1t was dinner time ut the Walton House,
last Tuesday, and there was dinipg.room
full Of guests all intent upon the one desire
to satisfy the cravings Of the inner nature.
Among Others at the tables were two young
lady sisters, the Misses D., who were stopping
for few days at the hotel, and a young mar.
ried map by the name OF W, who represents
u well Known mercantile house In Wheeling,
W. Va, When the young women referred to
had finished their repaSt aud were pass
ing out Of the dining room, the
larger Of tho two halted by the seat
OF Mr.. ". rs she was passing along.
~ would like to see you in the parlOr after
dinner" "VeIy well" replied Mr.. W.
though to be thus approached by an almost
totally strange woman, put the blush on the
Young man. After dinner when he had
smoked cigar aud luXuriated upon the ease
and comfort that good midday meal
brings to healthy person, 1t bethOught Mr.
W. he had mn engagement 10 meet lady in
the parlOr, and he ut once made his way
thitber. The two ladies were already there,
but or his entering one OF them retired
leaving him and the one that had requested
the interview alone together. On Mr.. W.
taking seat Miss b. ut once proceeded 10
business and said:
Nils D.-"Mr. W. l believe you cores
pended with me for some time"
Mr.. W.-"You are mistaken, never cor
responded with you"
Miss Dyes you did; thought it was
you as soon as saw you, and when l saw
your handwriting l knew 1t was"
MI, WI don't understand you, for
never have written to strange lady since
have been married, which Is ten years"
Miss D.-"You needn't deny II for have
some Of your letters yet, but the most Of
that you wrote them will give up what
have and the matter shall end right here,
but II you wont make the acknowledgement
don't know where it will end
Mr.. WI never wrote you a letter, hence
will make no confessions Of the kind
Just at this juncture the other Miss D.
stepped into the parlOr and ut once took up
the case by saying; YES you did write to
my sister; | have seen and read the letters,
and | know you are the one who wrote
them"
Two 10 one against W. was little more
than he was prepared for and he was dumb
founded. But fortunately for him about
this time the sisters got into dispute about
something, giving each other the lie, and
one of them slapped the other in the mouth
This was Mr.. W.'s opportunity and he got
out Of the room, heaving, as be said, sigh
Of relief whea he put the threshold between
him and his accusers.
Mr.. W. says hG has travelled come and
done business for number of years, has
been in unpleasant places before, but this
was the most trying ordeal lie ever went
through.
BlackmAil, Mr.. W. thinks, was the object
Of the bold but shrewd young woman, and
in his embarrassment and confusion at be-
ing taken thus unawares and in such way
he, for the moment, thought to pay them to
get out, but his better Judgment prevailed,
and now he is thankful that he didn't com
nit himself in any way to the designing
and, evidently bad young woman.
