Chinese Burial Grounds.

From All the Year Round.
AS you walk around Shanghai you
think that about one-half the land is
waste. You fancy 1t is left, as large
covers and heather-clad heaths are left
where game-preserving flourishes; but If
you look closer, you see turfoovered
mounds. 1t is burial ground. No
where else in that neighborhood will
you see square yard of land that is not
under tillage. Half our little wars with
the Chinese came from trespassing on
these cemeteries. The French at Shang-
hal had what threatened to be big row
when they wanted to drive road
through one Of them. They are taboo"
Sometimes OF an evening you may see
the village elder walking around and
explaining to the youngsters that their
ancestors of 100 years ago are buried
here, and that five mounds Off lies
that happy father who was raised to
the rank Of Marquis because his
son came out first classic and senior
wrangler in the final examination.
am speaking Of an old burial ground.
In the new one you see the solid, highly
vanished collins, (often carved) lying
on the surface. There they are left for
year or two, after which they are
matched or bricked over, according to
the wealth Of the family, the result be-
ing a mausoleum like those set up to
several of our royal family. This soon
get grown over with grass and weeds,
and ends by becoming mound, still
hallowed In the recollection OF the
elders, still visited on anniversaries with
the appointed offerings. The thing to
remember is that in China all is above
ground; there is no digging of graves;
simply laying down Of collins and COW
ing In by-and-by.
In old times they used to bury beside
their dead gold and precious stones of
all kinds. They are more economical
nowadays; one remembers how they
burn horses, and birds, and furniture,
ETC., cut out of gold and red paper, in
stead of the old offerings, which have
grown too costly. In their present state
of mind, the Chinese are not likely to
take cremation, or to let their grave
fields be desecrated by pillow or spade;
therefore they are bound to go in for
sewage, and If our people out there
want to make life pleasanter, let them
try to get an imperial edict for deodor-
izing. Our residents cannot complain
much about the unhealthiness of the
present system. The Chinese are, on
the whole, a healthy people.

Another Connecticut Cat story

From Norwich Comm Bulletin.
There were three cats in Williams
street family, and the lady of the house
concluded that one was sufficient to do
all the business, and an ediot Of death
was passed on the old cat and her kitten.
The question of the manner of death
was settled and the chloroform pur-
chased. Days passed after the chloro-
form was In the house before the execu-
toner could muster courage to execute
the sentence. To facilitate matters the
lady thought that some laudanum added
to the cats milk would produce stu
por that would make the chloroforming
easy. The drug was put in the
milk and rendered the old cat.
She tasted the food, cast her ewes
suspiciously about her and refused
to eat. The kitten rushed to the dish
to partake Of the milk and was Violent
ly knocked away by the old cat, who
took corner of the mat and covered the
dish to hide 1t from the kitten and pre-
vent her from taking the ''medicine.r
The lady could not believe 1t possible
that the act was intentional on the part
ofthe cat, and uncovered the dish and
again rendered the milk to her. She
again knocked the kitten from the dish
and covered 1t over more carefully than
before. This repetition Of the pr0tec-
tive act gained the will of the lady, and
she gave up killing the cats. She can
not satisfy her mind, however, whether
the action Of the cat was prompted by
instinct or reason. III

From the Cincinnati rimce-etar.
Rev. VIM. Jackson, pastor Of Bethany

They refused to hear him preach to-day
and locked him QUITO the church. The
pastor crept in through a rear window
and suddenly appeared In the pulpit be-
fore the congregation and opened with
the text: ''And they shall dwell to-
gether In peace and harmony" This
was the signal for war and the circus
began, and Joshua d. Alien led the at
lacking host and advanced upon the
pulpit. The Rev. Jockson armed him
self with the Bible, and with fire In his
eye, awaited the onslaught. The minis
ter was not without adherents, and
some Of the congregation, the majority
OF whom were women, rushed to his as
sistance.
The minister held his position bravely
and did execution with the Bible.
Brother Allen recklessly mounted the
pulpit steps, but the minister knocked
him known with the book. Sister Lo-
gan, armed with cane, hammered the
heads Of the brothers and sisters around
the pulpit with vim born OF lusty
arm. Pandemonium reigned. The afr
was filed with shouts, wool and torn
clothing. Finally the combatants sep
arated and pelted each other with Bibles
and hymn books. Officers were sent to
the place and the riot quelled. Brother
Allen made charge of assault and bat
terry against Brother Henry Guy and
Guy was bailed. Charges and counter
charges were made, the majority Of
them being against the pastor, but no
other arrests were made.
1t appears that the Rev. Mr.. jackson
had been repeatedly charged by the
trustees of the church with having ap-
propriated to his own use funds OF the
church. He was requested to resign,
and last Sunday did so, but demanded
$500, which he claimed he had spent for
repairs to the church. The trustees diff
fered with him, and placed the amount
at $50, and gave him that sum. He, 1t
seems, promised to give them receipt
In full. He gave them the receipt which,
on Its face, as alleged, purported to be
In full for salary, but an endorsement on
the back made 1t receipt for $50 on
account. This the trustees discovered
after the pastor had left, and they vowed
vengeance. This morning when the
Rev. Mr.. Jackson attempted to preach
they strongly objected.
