The Arrival of the Corean Embassy i'm
 New York.
 From the New York Sun
 The embassy from Tah Chosen, commonly known as Corea, arrived in this city Monday. They left Washington at 10:4O in care of Lieutenant Mason, Ensign Foulke and Acting Secretary of State John Davis. The train got to Jersey City at 5:30. A reporter of the Sun and an ambassador from the Fifth Avenue Hotel were the only persons waiting to receive them. The ambassador had five coaches waiting outside snd was on the look out for the luggage. The Ooreans were in the second parlor coach. and they remained there until most of the passengers had gone out of the station. Then startling figure came down the car steps and stood on the platform. It wore blue night-gown with red sleeves and had black Alpine hat on it's head Eight more, more or less like it, came ont of the car like rainbow unwind ing itself and stood like string of circus posters in the station. Their white gowns with blue sleeves, brown gowns with yell low sleeves, and red gowns with green sleeves Each man had different set of colors. These outer gowns had long sIits and openings, through which gay colored under gowns could be seen. When they walked it was like watching kaleidoscope. Every step revealed some new vagary of color.
 The hats were conical. broad-hrimmad and black. They were made of fine bam-

boo, silks and horsehair, and were nearly transparent They were fastened on by q string of polished amber beads, which passed under the chin. Under the cap was 70 skull cap of the same material, covering the hair. which was gathered into tep knot. The shoes were like the ordinary Chinese shoes, thick soled and with broad black edges. All the party had round full faces, with almond eyes set widely apart, and deep olive complexions. Some were smoothly shaYen, others wore dropping moustaches, and some had full boards. Their hair is very thin, black and silky.
 They fell in line according to their rank and marched with petticoated gait toward the carriages Min Young k, the envoy ex traordinary and minister plenipotentiary, went first. He is @ nephew of the Queen of Tah Chosun and is 8 prince. Then came Hong Young Six, the vice minister, and Lo Koang Pom, the secretary, who IS clever man and draws skillfully. Next was an De- cidental interval in the person Of MT. Perc1- val Lowell, foreign secretary, an American, and graduate of Harvard. He is 8 cousin of James Russell Lowell, and was travelling in Japan for pleasure when he was requested to join the embassy. He is a smooth-faeed, handsome young man, twenty-eight years Of age, and speaks Japanese fuently. The gal ly colored attaches came next-Yu Xiii Ohun. Pycn, Su, Ku Yong Chol. Hyon Henng Thek and Oheu Kyong Sek. The Chinese intsrpre- ter, Woo Ii Tang, followed, and Mir. Low ell's private secretary, a Japanese, Tsnneje- TO Miyaoka, was last. He is very small and wore ordinary clothing.
 With the exception of their remarkable costume they conform as far as possible to civilized customs They are pleased with American food, use knives and forks, and are anxious and eager to pick up polite American manners. All speak little Japanese.
 The population of Tah Chosun IS about 15 ,O0O, 900 souls, engaged in agricultural and mining pursuits. The capital, Soul, has about 750, GOO inhabitants. The interior of the country is rich in gold and silver mines It is in great need of machinery. The Uni ted States is the only civilized nation with which it has any treaty.
 Only two Europeans are known to have learned Corean. It has phonetic alphabet and an extensive literature. Buddhism is the national religion.
 The name Tsh Chosun means ''the great land of the morning calm" ''So-ul' means merely ''the capital" The city has another name, which is kept secret from foreigners.

Depraved Females.
Women Who Hang About 8 County Jail Out of Curfosity.
 .N<nI.-..

Out of Curiosity.
 (From the Cleveland Leader.l
 The depraved taste of certain class of humanity is very we'll shown in the way they run after criminals. The greater the crime the greater the hero. Gases of this kind can be cited from the history of any jail or prison in the country, but 1t is only necessa- ry to mention the manner in which Charles Seymour was treated during his imprison- ment at the bounty jail The best that the market afforded was always at his disposal, while love-Ietters, bouquets and sweetmeats were heaped upon him in abundance by his devoted female admirers. s'Nothing was too good for poor Charley" said Turnkey Valen- tine of the county jail, using the words he had often heard applied to that individual, land now James Donahue and Glassman are receiving like attention,' he continued. ''The fact of it is, we never have brutal or dastardly criminal within these walls but what they are much sought after by the idle curiosity y-seeker or pampered and fed by some of their more ardent admirers, so much so that they not only become disgusting 10 us, but 8 perfect nuisance. Two persons lolled their way in here to-day, one of them being about half dumb, and walking up to that iron door, began peering through into the corridors. I asked them what they want ed, and they replied that they would like to catch glimpse of Donahue, just to see how he looked They were not friends Of his, but representatives of that raft of curiosity seekers that come here almost daily, and so told them to get out, and be quick about it, too. lost my patience little, admit but you would not wonder at 1t If you were both cred to death by these people as we are"
 'sYeay" chimed in Turnkey Thomas, sstell him about Glassman, the great feeder upon human noses" The speaker referred to Charles GIassman, who bit of the nose of W. J. McFeo recently, and for which canni- balistic propensities he was bound over to the Court of Common Pleas
 ''Not only well dressed ladies coms here regularly to see him." continued Turnkey Thomas, "but negro girl is so completely gone on him that she hangs around here about all the time and brings to him at noon times dinner made up of the choicest bits you could imagine Yesterday I found nicely dressed white girl about fifteen years of age, leaning up against the bars looking anxioNsly in. I inquired whom she wished to see and she said, MT. Glassman.' Are you friend of his ? asked. Well, yes, I have slight acquaintance with him. she re- piled. told her to go home, as that was better piece for her than to be hanging around j.iI, trying to become better acquainted with criminals. And thus it goes on day af- ter day, and we are beginning to think that if 8 man wants to reach the pinnacle of fame and become exceedingly popular, with the fairer sex especially, all he is obliged to do is to cut some ones throat or commit some brutal assault"

The discussion concerning the reformation of primary elections proceeds, and parts of it are well worth attention. A system has been tried fer two years in Gloucester county, New Jersey, with good results. The details are as follows: The central committee re. ceives nominations in writing; with the nom ination goes the acceptance of the candidate named and his agreement to abide by the issue of the primary. At the primary each Republican voter may vote for two of the candidates for given position, as his first and second choice. When the voting is over the committee announces as the candidate agreed upon the one who has majority of all the votes for first choice. If there be no such state of the vote, then the individual who has majori- ty of the second choice votes is designated as the candidate. Furthermore, in the contingency that these tests are un- successful. then the committee decides upon the person having majority of the votes after adding the first and second choice bal lot together. Failure to find candidate after these trials is followed by g special election between the two candidates having the highest number of first and second. .choioe votes combined.

 The Supreme court of the State of Mime sota has recently given decision which is in teresting to persons living on the line of g railroad. The case was this: Sparks from an engine of railroad set fire to the barn of N. the wind carried the flames to the barn of J., which was also burned. J. sued the railroad company, which pleaded negligence in N. The court said tsThe fault of N. was not in anything he did or neglected to do after ths fire was thrown from the engine but in this, that he disregarded his duty to his neighbors by having his property in such condition that fire would be readily com municated to their property. Either one of the wrong -doers is responsible, and the con current negligence of the other would be no defence The defendant was negligent and must pay the judgment /"
 France has B troublesome pension list as well as this country. The French govern ment employs 1s6, ,364 persons in the civil service, and pays them yearly salary of 287 million francs, or an average of $500. Ordinarily no one is entitled to @ pension who is not at least sixty years old, and has served fully thirty years. But as the gov ernment deducts five per cent. of all salaries for pension purposes, and is bound to return this amount after five years service, while fifteen years service creates title to public subsidies, it pays at present nine million dol lars year to civil pensioners, and nearly two-thirds of this amount is taken out of taxes. An attempt has been made to reduce the liabilities of the State on the pension account; but the attempt has failed. and every political change increases the pension list in France.
