Juh Not Dead.

DEMGNG, Oct. SIC. D. Fitch returned,
yesterday from Casa Grandes, where he has
been in communication with the Indians
who murdered Patrick Finn on May g. He
discovered where he was buried and will go
again to remove the remains. He says that
Juh is not dead, but IS raiding in southern
chihuahua. Jose Lepaz, Mexican, who has
a half brother with Geronimo's band, opened
communication with the Indian camp and
got the particulars of Finn's death, and also
declares that Charles McComas was killed in
a ravine on the north side of the boundary
line. The Indians, after waiting in vain for
reinforcements from San Carlos, have split
up into small raiding parties.

ment aggregating SO 800 were entered against
o. L. Baskin, horse-aollar manufacturer to-
day, and his place was taken possession of

Germ in this city. NJ B. Fielding, president
of the Cotton Exchange, expressed the
opinion that the New York market will not
be affected. He considers the absence of a
marginal clause in the contracts entered into
in the Liverpool market as rrrah ing their
transactions more risky, while the American
system calling for margin, tends to keep
prevents any material loss to any individual
The losses in that way become so distributed
when they do occur, that no one is seriously
affected thereby. If such a system had ex-
listed in Liverpool the extensive failure Of
yesterday would not have occurred.

THE CHINESE RELIGION.

There are three elements in the
Chinese religion. That of Confu-
cius, which is merely ritual ser
vice. At the proper time the EN-
peror and States dignitaries offer
up sacrifices to their ancestors
warriors, statesmen, etc, and from
the fact that this offering was
made to those who have passed
away, who have been denied many
early missionaries formed the be-
lief that it was a worship of Heav-
EN-. In his directions in regard to
ancestral worship, Confucius
clearly recognizes a future exist
ence. It is also believed that the
body has a soul, or spiritual ex-
istence, and consequently they
believe that the body may be ex-
alted or purified.
The Chinese invented alchemy,
from which that of Europe was
undoubtedly derived. They also
invented soothsaying, and practice
it to a ridiculous extent. They
commence no work without going
to the priest and learning a lucky
day The same is true of starting
upon journey, digging a grave,
sending a boy to school, or, in
short, before commencing any
thing in life. They are great be
levers in evil spirits; they think
the air is all peoplod with them
and they are continually trying to
frighten them away. For this
reason they never go out after
dark without singing at the top of
their voices, and, said the speaker,
If anything would scare away evil
spirits, Chinese singing would GER
tainly do it.
The third riligion is Buddhism,
Some of the Buddhist temples
have hundreds Of idols by which
they picture future states of tor
ment and bliss; statues that rival
Dante s lnferno.-On Buddhist
belief is that whatever a man is
here on earth that will he be in
the future world. Hence, they
seek Office even more eagerly than
do the people Of this country.
They believe that the condition Of
the dead depeands much upon
offerings their descendants make
to their memory. This ancestral
worship is one of the strongest
points in q Chinamans religion.
There is little spiritualism in their
religion, most Of what at first ap-
pears to be such being a mere
practice; a custom that has come
down to them from their ancestors.

FALLING OF A METEOR.

Fort WORTH, TEXAS, April 10.
Dispatch from Williams Ranch,
Brown county, says that about 2
o'clock Sunday morning a great
meteor fell in the outskirts of
town, killing several head of cattle
and destroying the dwelling house
Of Martinez Garcia, a Mexican
herdsman, who, with his family
consisting Of his wife and five
children, are all buried beneath
the ruins. In it's decent the me-
teor resembled a massive ball of
fire, and the shock was similar to
that of an earthquake. It is still
hot and steaming. 1t is embed
ded in the earth probably 100 feet
and towers above the surface
about seventy feet, and will cover
one acre of ground. Conclusion
was terrific, nearly every window
in town being shattered. People
were hurled violently from their
beds, and goods III storehouses
thrown from the shelves. No
lives lost as far as known, except
the Mexican herdsman and his
family, although several buildings
fell to the ground. Cattle fed in
terror in every dire ction, and the
air was filed with sulphurons gas
The widest confusion prevailed
as it was a long time before any
body could even conjecture what
it was. This is the largest meteor
that has ever fallen, and it has al
ready been visited by many peo-
pie, and will doubtless continue to
attract great attention for months
to come. It has occasioned great
excitement, not only here but in
all the surrounding country.
