The Chinese as Soldiers.

"What are the distinctive military qualities of the Chinese, Commodore ?" asked a reporter of Commodore Filli- brown, of the American Navy.
 "Unfinching bravery, or as some would term it, foolhardiness. Chinese soldiers resemble the Mohammedans in this: They believe that by exposing themselves to the deadliest dangers and dying in the heat of battle they are sure to win eternal bliss in their Celestial Paradise. Life is, therefore, little cher ished by them, and death-even though it be caused by a recklessness that is akin to suicide-is held to be the most desirable of all things. This wild relig- ious devotion urges them to do the most extraordinary. deeds. They have been known to leap by hundreds into river and to die by drowning, though it was possible for them to escape from their enemies by land. This contempt for life in one sense enhances their value as soldiers, since by it they are driven to do deeds that less enthusiastic nations might refrain from.
 "You must remember, however, that the Chinese soldiers and sailors have been for many years officered by Euro peans, and are we'll acquainted with the latest and best inventions in modern warfare. The popular conception of China is that of dense, benighted nation, cleaving in all things to the sim plicity of antiquity and quite ignorant of scientific methods of making war. That, however, is a delusion, as any vis- itor to China will readily acknowledge. I was there in 1854, and noted how eagerly the Chinese were adopting the military and naval customs of Europe. Chinese Gordon worked hard to bring about this state of things, and has won much gratitude from the Celestials."

The Latest Fashions.
AUTUMN DRESSES.

The woolen dresses imported for street suits for the early autumn are distin- guished by severe plainness in design and in trimmings, depending for their beauty on the fine fit of the corsage and the graceful flowing lines of the skirt and its drapery. The corsage may, if preferred, be simple round waist with out basque or sash, merely finished by a belt ribbon with front bow. This round waist is long, and has high darts that give an appearance of slenderness; the back may have either one or two side forms on each side, and there is a seam down the middle; the standing collar is very high and the shoulders are short, meeting sleeve that is rounded high on the front, but which has less of the pad ded puffed fullness about the armhole than those lately worn. These details are confined to the lining of the dress, as the outside may be put on in varied ways; thus it may be laid smoothly up- on the lining or it may be gathered at the neck and waist line in front and back, or else the gathers may be confined to the front only and the back may be quite plain; or, again, the fullness may be only at the belt and spread out in fan style, becoming plain on the shoulders; or, still further, this fullness may be held in small pleats or tucks instead of gathers. The preference, however, for heavy wool goods is for the plain smooth waist, and this can be diversified by in- troducing a vest, or square plastron which may be full or flat, or by the use of revers or bretelles extending from the shoulders to the waist. Modistes here prefer to make round waists separate from the skirt, lengthening it few inches below the waist line, and thrust ing that part under the belt to which the skirts are attached; on English dresses, however, the skirts are sewed perma- nently to the waist, which is finished by A yelling cord in the old fashioned way. - HnrlleT.'s Bdzdr

MeteOrs by the Millions.
THE EARTH NOW UNDERGOING A FIERCE COMMANDMENT BY THE STRAY SHELLS OF SPACE.

The earth is now passing through the stream of August meteors, generally seen in the northwestern sky after mid night. A single observer under favor able circumstances sees from six to eight meteors an hour. But he sees only one-fiEth or one-sixth of those visible above the horizon. The total number, therefore, visible in an hour at a given station is about thirty-five. If we should multiply this by twenty-four we should get over eight hundred as the number visible at given point of the earth's surface in an entire day, provided that clouds or sunlight did not interfere with the observation.
 From a single point on tho earth's surface, however, we see only small portion of the atmospheric envelope, and it is within this atmospheric en- velope that the meteors become visible. The total number visible over the whole earth in a day would be upward of 10000 times the number visible at single station, or 10000 multiplied by 800 equals s,0OO, 900 as the number of meteors falling every day to the earth, which would, in the absence of the sun, moon and clouds, be visible to the naked eye.
 Fortunately for us, these bodies are not very large, and a protective atmos- phere interposes between us and their tumultuous assault. Were 1t otherwise everything on the surface of the earth would be battered down to common level. For the most part these bodies are dissolved in the upper regions of the atmosphere and descend imperceptibly as meteoric dust, a deposit of which has sometimes beer found upon the tops of mountains.
 The August meteors were usually oi an orange color, moved very rapidly and usually left streaks which lasted for one or more seconds. These streaks ara highly useful in enabling us to fix the radiant point with precision.

SUNK IN BOSTON HARBOR.
The Rose Standish Sunk by n Collision
 Her Passengers nre Saved.

The steamer Rose Standish, of the Boston and Bingham Company, plying between Boston, Downer Landing, and Hingham, was sunk in the harbor with in sight of the wharf from which she had sailed at 5:15 p. m. on Thursday. The harbor was full of sailing craft, and Capt Ingraham says he was feeling his way among the boats to get into clear water, and was just rounding the stern of large schooner when he deserted the Commercial Company's tug Wesley A. Cove bearing down upon him. There was no time, the Captain said, to even blow his whistle before the propeller was upon him. The Standish was struck foot abaft of the forward port gangway, the prov of the tug forcing its way clear through the deck and planking into the engine room, scatter ing the lighted coals in every direction, igniting all the woodwork in the vicinity and, as an officer of the boat said, "She would have burned up if she hadn't sunk so quickly.
 There were 101 passengers on board, and for time there was great excite ment among them. The instant Capt. Inpraham saw that his vessel must sink he blew distress signal on his steam whistle. This called five tugs and the steamer William Harrison from the .I:ooo,,k ,r,bo o,-,zaS kr fba ouSictonoa oF tha disabled steamer, and so excellent was the discipline of the crew of the Standish, and the ability of the aiding boats, that every passenger was taken from the sinking steamer without even "getting their feet wet" Considering that the Standish sank within six minutes after she was struck, the safe and speedy removal of thepassengers was remark able.

Frightened Peasants.

The belief of the peasants in Southern France that the physicians engaged in the cholera hospitals were employed by the Government to remove the super fuous population reveals a frightful so- cial condition in one part at least of the French Republic. It seems that the peasants of North Italy have the same aversion to calling in doctors for cholera, though their version does not proceed from the same belief. They prefer ''old woman's remedies" to those of the faculty, and it is perhaps doing no in- justice to the condition of medical science in the rural parts of Italy to ad- init that the prescription of an amateur old woman is as likely to be efficient as that of 8 professional old woman, be- sides being cheaper. The Italians have inherited belief to the efficacy of processions which has not been disturbed by the secularization of Italian politics, and recently created riot at Lucca be- cause the police forbade the exhibition of saint who was supposed to be a specific for cholera. These specimens of Italian sanitary precautions ought tc increase the vigilance of our quarantine | officials.

AN OLD HERO IN WANT.
4 Noted AIaior-tseneraI of the War Reduced
 to the Verge of starvation.

Gems. Hancock, Terrell, Porter and Mcclellan have been appointed com mittee of trust to relieve an old soldier of the late war from falling into want. The gallant hero is Major Gen. John Benton.
 "His history" said Gen. Terrell, ''is the strangest have ever heard of. He is the son of General in the Mexican war, and comes of the same stock as Senator Benton. He was educated at West Point, where he was my chum. He left the school, engaged in literary pursuits and married a wealthy lady of Nashville. When the war came he joined the North and was deserted by his Southern wife and children and dis owned by his family. With heart al- most broken he did his duty, and was made captain in an Ohio regiment. He took part in all the campaigns of the war and made brilliant record"
 "At Murfreesboro Gen. Benton won his stars, being made brigadier, and at Chattanooga, just sfterwsrd, he was created maior-general, and superseded Gen. Rosecrans, being next to Gen. Grant. His career was now stopped by his imperious temper, for he offended Grant, and Benton was kept in the background. However, in a short time the fortunes of war brought him under Sherman, with whom he marched down to the sea, and entered Charleston be- fore the main body of troops appeared. Benton, always high-spirited, was reck- less to an extreme, because of his domestic difficulties, and immediately after the investment of Charleston he had quarrel with Gen. Sherman, and he was court-martialed. No conviction followed, but he resigned and left the country.
 "Benton was next heard from in the Russo. Turkish war, where he command ed Q division of Turks, and was the backbone of the defense of Plevna He was superseded, however, and narrowly escaped being strangled as n friend of Mehemet Ali. After that he departed in disgust for Americs. Here he has been getting poorer ever since he arrived. His literary ability has left him just enough power to earn little now and then. He is too proud to seek for help and make himself known, and although he seemed to have little money when l last saw him few weeks ago, he now has none. He applied to me to see if could not save him from disposing of his sword. Said he: I have never dishonored it; it is bright, and has been my companion for many years, and do not want to sell it; but will be compelled if cannot get a little money. I am now old and weak; I cannot work hard; have lost my home, my friends, my country, and without the grace of God to keep me up would sink in the bottomless pit. Help me, old friend, if you can. "

Diseased Cattle Killed.

The first slaughter of animals, under an act of the last General Assembly ito suppress and prevent the spread of pleuro- pneumonia among cattle" WAS made at Elmhurst, H., by the State Veterinarian, Dr. PaAren. A Justice of the Peace signed the papers condemning the diseased cattle and appointed three disinterested persons to appraise them. Ten condemned animals were app raised at $3,0O0. Some of them were shot with pistol and the others knocked in the head with an axe. Several veterinary surgeons made an examination of the bodies, and the lungs of six of the ten animals contained what was announced to be evidence of euro-pneumonia in its worst form. Mir. Boyd says he was satisfied that the animals must be slaughtered, but that the appraisement would not come within $10,0 ,0O0 of his loss, as all were Jerseys with approved records.
