An oriental writer has recently
given an interesting description
of an ancient burial in the Chi.
nese empire. 1t was the custom
for the wealthy man 10 pro-
cure his coffin when he had
reached the age of forty. He
would then have it painted three
times a year with a composition
resembling sllicate paint or ena-
mel, which formed an exceedingly
hard coating. The process of
making this paint is now one of
the lost arts Of China. If the
owner Of the coffin lived long
enough, the frequent painting
each coat being of considerable
thickness-caused it to assume the
appearance of sarcophagus, with
a foot or more in thickness OF
this hard stone-like shell. After
death the veins and cavities Of
the persons stomach were filled
with quicksilver for the purpose
of preserving the body. A piece
of jade would then be placed
in each nostril and ear, and in
one hand, while q piece of bar
silver would be placed in the other
hand. The body thus prepared
was placed on layer OF t'quick'
silver within the coffin the latter
was sealed, and the whole de.
posted in it's final resting-place

SMUGGLING. are rife along the
water front respecting an alleged extensive
smuggling on shore of opium from the
British steamer CLAIMS Castle, from Hong
kong, now lying at San Francisco. When
leaving Hongkopg the steamer, among
other members of the crew, had on board

and ten Chinese sailors. The chests of the
latter were slowed forward in the fore

officers. On Thursday William Lawton,
one OF the customs inspectors in charge of
the steamer, saw the chests in the forecastle
prior to leaving the watch at 6 o'clock in

them, and upon inquiry was informed by
the Waterman of the steamer and the off.

were removed on Thursday evening, be-

surreptitiously removed by the crew, and
did not pass inspection by the officers, and
the surmise is that they contained opium
and other valuable dutiable goods.
