A Chinaman's Moral Ledger

The idea of posting ones good and
bad deeds in a ledger, so as 70 be abe
to strike a balance now and again with
view TO determining one chances in
the next world, is one that would be
hardly likely to occur 10 anv one but a
Chinese. In the last number Of the
Clina So RecOrdcr, Mr.. Scarborough. the
author of the interesting work on
Chinese Proverbs, - gives rs an ex-
tract from the running account Kept
with the gods by one Li-Chun Tsung,
which we may safely saw is unique in
the annals OF bookkeeping. On the
debit sido we find the entries: "FOr be-
ing at variance with my brothers
through listening to my wife's talk,
900; for uDdutiful treatment of my
wife parents. 100: for ST oking opium
ten times. 10" The numbers indicate,
Of course, so many black marks. Per
contra. we find on the credit side of the
account, For bur ing poor friend at
my expense, 200; for carefully nursing
my ck mother, 30; for making my
wi join in meritOrious works,
100" We in Europe will be of opinion
that if nursing his own mother is Only

KANsAs CITY. Mo-. January %

KANSAS CITY, Mo, January o.
One of the most horrible cases of death by
accidental shooting which ever occurr d hap
pened at the house of Sands w Hopkins
about three miles south of this city, this after
noon, by the accidental discharge of a shot
gun, young Hopkins blowing the entire head
off his young and beautiful WIFE The hus-
band and wife were alone in the sitting-rOOm
when the terrible tragedy occurred, and his
story of the affair is as follows:
&C. 1t is all so horrible" said the young man
that 1 hardly know how to begin. On my
return from town tod went to the barn
and tut up the horse, my wife joining ms
and together we re-2ntercd the house. After
some little work my wife went into the sitting
room or library, and sat down b the stove in
a rocking-chair with some work in her hands.

for some time, and proceeded to load it and
clean the locks, as l had noticed some
rabbit tracks near the barn, and wanted to have
the gun ready for instant use. One barrel was
already lOaded-the left one an1 going into
the room where my wife was, l loaded the re-
maining barrel and then sat down in chair
nearly in front of her and took up a small Oh
can to oil the locks Of the gun, which were
somewhat rusty. ] allowef the gun barrel to
rest partially across my M and leg during the
operation, when suddenly, as pulled back the
hammer OF the barrel, il slipped out of my fin-
gers and then the gun went off with noise

about it, as was nearly wild. The ch1rge of

A Dangerous Sitnation.

When the regular train which left Rat Port
age yesterday morning was nearing the bridge
over the Winnipeg River, the driver noticed a
man walking the structure. The train ap-
preached the bridge by a curve, so that the
man could not see his danger. The bridge is
too narrow to permit person to stand on one
side till a train should pass, and it was impOssi-
bic for him to reach the other side before the
train would OveTtal<e him. To jump rom the
bridge was certain death The only course
open was TO clutch the outer board, and, sus-
pended between life and death, await the re-
suit. This the man did, and the train, which
could not be stopped, came laundering on.
The conductor, recoIecting that the steps of
the Pullman car were very low, and would
probably strike the mans head, rushed to the
rear of the train and uncoupled the car, which,
by the prompt application of brakes,
stopped in time. The man pulled himself up
and reached the other end of the bridge
At this instant freight train observed
baC king around the curve, and there stood the
Pullman in the middle of the bridge, filed

means of escape, and Notwithstanding the
shouts of the train officials the freight train
