CELEBRATING THE FULL MOON
A Chinese Festival Duly Observed by tho
Chinese Colony.

Chinese Colony.
Two Cinnamon were standing on street
corner last Thursday night gazing intently at
the full moon. Quite crowd collected
around them, but to these they paid no atten-
tion, being absorbed in contemplating the
shining satellite
GLOW you likap asked one OF the other.
'Me lika belly much How you lika|
"Me lika too"
And then they both folded their hands
across their breasts and continued to gaze.
"What's up, john" asked q reporter.
''Mloon lup," replied tho pagan, blandly. ,
After considerable pumping during which
process the Celestial was very roticent about
giving any information, the following was ex7
acted:
1t is and has beon the custom of the Chi
nese for untold centuries to celebrate tho first
full moon in September This is called
incoming" and the celebration is an interest
ing one. The first full moon camo on the
fourteenth, and the third season was ushered
in with all due pomp and demonstration. The
Cinnamon in this as we'll as other cities meet
on this day, and it is regarded by them as
prototype of "Walshingtome birthday" or
fourth Of Julee." In this city down town
laundry was selected as scene Of the festivi-
ties Sitting out in front of tho laundry
were the older Cinnamon commenting on the
moon and it's appearance. They talked in
low tones, and seemed indifferent as to their
surroundings.
Inside everything presented quite differ
ent scene. In the center of large room was
spread sumptuous repast of Celestial good
things. At the head of the table was small
damask covered cabinet, before which burned
seven lighted candles of prismatic colors,
representing the rainbow. The front of the
cabinet was perforated with small holes, rep
resenting the stars, while a large round hole
in the center was intended TO suggest the
moon. Through these perforations came
light from some candles inside.
The menu of the feast was very palatable,
and the Mongolian banqueters did
full justice to it, In the center
| of tho table was pyramid ol
cakes made in all shapes Of the moon, half
quarter, and full. A liquor of q pale, milky
color, made of rice, was freely imbibed. The
cakes on the table, the reporter was informed
had been baked year and were very digest
ible. Music was supplied by tho natives, who,
with tom toms, gong and cymbal, raised quite
din. To this music the feasters would keep
rythmic tune with their feet and would oc'
casionally pirouette the entire length Of the
room.
After the banquet had been discussed the
whole assemblage adjourned TO the roof Of the
house and watched the full, white ora glide
through the heavens until daybreak. Perfect
silence was maintained throughout the watch,
and the only words uttered was an occasional
| belly goode."

A Half Finished Statue OF an Indian
with q History.

The half finished marble statue, which
has stood in front of Rosseau's stone yard at
the intersection of the capitol park and North
capitol street for many years, has attracted
much attention from passers by and Others.
At night it resembles a solitary ghost, and in
the daytime grim sentinel standing alone
and keeping silent vigil. The figure from its
commanding position has witnessed every
presidential Inauguration since Buchanan's,
and has felt the steady tramp of many troops
during the stormy days of the rebellion. Its
history has been kept secret by Mr. Rosseau, a
quaint little Frenchman, but yesterday, when
interrogated by a REPUBLICAN reporter about
the Clipped figure he said; " l will tell you
about it. although / have refused to tell hun
dreds who have asked the same question.
The figure was started by me in 1853, and
was designed to be the representation Of an
Indian chief, to be placed at the main front of
the capitol. When half finished q crack was
discovered and the figure left in its present
condition. | have told you the secret, be-
cause next week the half finished Indian,
who has weathered the storms of thirty years,
will be chiseled into a sweet little cherub for
the grave of a child at Genwood cemetery"

A Remarkable Cure OF sorofu,n.

William S. Baker, of Lewis, Vego county,

old. We tried several physicians, but the
boy got no relief from their treatment
Noticing your Scovill's Sarsaparilla Stillingia,
or Blood and Liver Syrup, recommended so
highly, 1 bought some of it of you in the
year 1862, and continued taking it till the
sores finally healed up. He is now 81 years
of age, and being satisfied that your medicine
did him so much good when he used it, we
want to try it again in another case, and now
write to you to get some more of it,

the late Francis Burke, Esq, NJ. ID,
aged 70 years, fully fortified by the
holy rites of the Roman Catholic
Church, of which she was through

her last minutes she had the conso-
lation of being surrounded by sever
al members Of her much respected
and truly amiable family. Three OF
her sons, Dir. Thomas Burke, La

A NEGLECTED REGION,

There are about dozen counties
of Southern Missouri and Northern
Arkansas which have long remained
nndeveloped because they were
wholly dependent ON ST. Louis for Il
market, and could reach her only by
long drives with loaded wagons over
unbridged streams and roads often
impossible. Having surrounded this
district with st. Louis roads at Il
great distance, we have treated it as
an inalienable commercial possess
ion which we could safely leave to
develop itself. But Chicago roads
are entering it both from the east
and from the west. Ii is land Of
enormous water power, rich in the
most valuable lumber, Astounding in
valuable minerals, and with a climate
and soil favorable to the production
OF great wealth in grain, cotton and
live stock. Every one of these coun.
ties penetrated by railroad will
rapidly grow in wealth and popula-
ton. Wherever Chicago road is
located through them. lumber com
panies from Wisconsin and Mich.
gan swarm in ahead of the track
layers, buy up the timber, locate
their saw mills, lay ont town sites
and bring in large following OF
merchants, traders, farmers aad
stock men. 1t looks now as if that
entire region, with all its resources.
is already surrendered to Chicago.
A Chicago road from Kansas City
has recently laid its track from
Springfield through Howell and Ore
gon counties into Arkansas. pnd in
tie month OF March The freight re.
ceived at West Plains station was
i, 549652 pounds, and the freight
shipped thence, exclusive Of ear
loads, amounted to 1927 $50 pounds.

An Essay on Roller Skates.

The roller skate is a hayward lit
tie quadruped. It's as frolicsome
and more innocent looking than
lamb, but for interfering with ones
upright attitude in the community
it is perhaps the best machine that
has appeared in Salt Lake City.
Ones first feeling on standing up
on pair Of roller skates is an un-
comfortable tendency to come from
together. One foot may start cut
toward Idaho while the other as
proptly strikes out for Arizona.
The legs do not stand by each other
rs legs related by blood should do,
but each shows disposition to set
up in business alone, and leave you
to take care of yourself as best you
may. The awkdwarness of this ar
rangement is apparent. While they
are setting up independently, there
is nothing for you to do but to sit
down and await further develop
ments. And you have to sit down,
too, without having made any previ-
Gus preparation for it, and without
having devoted as much thought TO
it as you might have done had you
been consulted in the matter.
One of the most noticeable things
at skating rink is the strong at
traction between the human body
and the floor of the rink. If the hu-
man body "a been coming through
space for days and days, at the rate
of million miles second. without
stopping at eating stations, and not
except IS, Sundays, when it strikes
the floor, we could understand why
it struck the floor with SO much vio-
lence. AS it is, however, the thing
is inexpllcabe. =
There are different kinds of falls
in vogue at the rink. There are the
rear falls, and front. falls, the Cardi-
nal Wolsey fall, the fall one across
the other, three in pile, and so on.
There are some of the falls that l
would like to be excused from de
scribing. The rear fall is the favor
lite, 1t is more frequently utilized
than any other. There are two posi-
tions in skating, the perpendicular
and the horizontal. Advanced skat-
ers prefer the perpendicular, while
others affect the hor. ntal.
Skates are no respectors Of per-
sons. They will lay aus minister
of the Gospel or the n yor of the
city as readily as they will a short
coated, one-suspender boy, or giddy
girl.
When one of mans feet starts
out for Nevada and the other for
Colorado, that does separate him
from the floor or brean ap his fun.
Other portions of his body will take
the place his feet have just vacated,
with promptness that is surprising.
And he will find that the fun has
just begun-for the people looking
on.
The equipments for the rink is a

was there with one Of his tenants at
the time Of the storm: "Ihe wind
blew from the southwest, and It's
force was beyond all powers OF de-
scription. The side Of the mountains
which before the storm were covered
with trees, now show none standing,
even the oaks being snapped in twain
like pipcstems. After the wind came
the bail and it lasted until the ground
was covered with ice. Many Of the
stones were nearly as large as hen
eggs. 4. Ii. Risor, the postmaster,
lost his store and residence. and prob
ably most of the mail Three hun
bred dollars in currency was also
scattered by the winds, eighty nine
dollars being found this morning.
Mr.. Risor was seriously injured about
the spine. My residence, stables
and store, occupied by ]. Z. Cox,
were leveled, as we're also the resi-
ijuences of j. G. McMurray and all
others at that place.
Your correspondent visited White
Oak this forenoon, and found the
track of the cyclone averaged three
miles In width, and that 1T came
from south OF the river at the point
nearest White Oak The telegraph
wire was blogu down for distance
of nearly four miles, and no fences
could be seen anywhere. Trees two
and three feet in diameter were up
rooted, broken and twisted like twigs.
One monster OF the forest more than
two feet thick, lay around the rail-
road track, the iron rail beneath it
broken in pieces. Pile after pile of
green railroad ties were found blown
around as if they had been matches,
and car load Of lumber had been
emptied, the side stakes broken
short off. Reports of the destruction
of property and loss of life reach
me from every direction. Thomas
Ross and wife and William Heron,
living one mile north, were fatally
injured, and their houses swept away.
w. +. Mccain, David Hall, John
Brasure and Wallace, all lost their
houses-Wallace's was one story
and half log house, the upper half
being carried away. Daniel Wade,
VIM. Ham and Zachariah Harper,
also lost all their buildings. The
| Union church and school house, one
and quarter miles northwest of
here, is also in ruins. Daniel Wade
lost everything in his house. The
only building of any kind which re-
mains standing here is the section
house, which was not squarely in
the track OF the storm. AT Gays
mill, two miles west, one small resi-
dence is all that remains standing.
In this vicinity f. j. Lewis house
and a half dozen others are in ruins.
A storm of such severity was never
before known here.
