A Hundred Million Bullets.

By the steamer City of New York,
which arrived from China last Sunday,
came Henry Comstock, the foreign
agent of the Remington gun manufac-
turers Of New York, who has just made
large contract with the Chinese Gov
eminent for the new Remington-Lee
rifle and ammunition: Mr.. Comstock
was waited upon by rep orter.
"Well, I will tell YOU" said Mr..
Comstock, america has q wrong idea
as to China's strength in case of war.
She has now thirty five first-class gun
boats and standing army of 1000, 900
men. The men that belong to the
army are brave set Of fellows and will
fight if an opportunity presents itself.
Those that think they are towards are
greatly mistaken. The army is now
supplied with the old-style guns. I
have just made a contract with the
government for 10000 latest i'm.
proved Remington-Lee rifles and
100 900, 600 cartridges, and more
orders are to follow. They are
shipped from New York by the way, of
Liverpool to Shanghai
AT the present time the French have
eighteen gunborts IN the Chinese
waters, but only half that number are

teristics.
On Africa's desert sands, says a writer in
Through Mail, the ostrich has his home. He
is massive feathered vegetable of the genus
bigbirdi. He is mainly composed of stalk
with few "leaves" on each elbow and at the
end of his coat-tail
wife to do all the work, while he INDUCES
in idle day dreams, or pursues the Egyptian
locust and green bottle-fy across the arid
plains Of '7Araby the Best" She plants
the seeds of posterity deep in the desert sands,
then, gazes with an approving smile while the
sun brings forth the feathered crop.
Of late years the attempt has been made to
force the ostrich to become naturaGzed
American citizen, but the attempt has about
proved a failure, owing to the eccentricity OF
the climate and the bad habits he had acquired
since becoming citizen OF this free and glori-
GUS republic.
When upon his native heath he was modest
and unobstrusive, and when stranger pre-
sented his card or a few 'leaden pellets of
gratitude" he invariably fled, and in grief and
shame hid his head in the sand, while he
whistled defiance through his left ear.
Since his residence in America he has paid
little or no attention to the matter of his dress,
but struts around and, like the fashionable
waman, wears little to conceal his shape, I'M
less it be few fancy feathers pair of
breeches, a plug hat and a pair of spectacles
would add to his appearance that look of dig

Our adopted son of the East is too much of
a ''kicker" to be Of any use in politics. Agen-
tie tap with his foot is sufficient to knock a
man so far that it will take him until the judy
ment day to get back.
But he is the proprietor of an appetite that
causes our champion pie biters and clam bake
heroes to turn green with envy. He gobbles
up the steel hoop skirt and old stovepipe that
have outlived their usefulness; railroad spikes
and door-knobs cause his stomach not twinge,
while old tomato cans, hair-pins or false teeth
follow each other in rapid succession. In one
week he can denude village common of all
the above discarded relics of art, scattered in
tempting form by refined public, yet pine
for more, and he likes nothing be ter than to
make Christmas dinner off the entire con-
fonts of a hardware store, but he is not likely
through mistake, to swallow a grindstone in
stead of a cheese

In 1871 Thomas Colt, then twelve years old,
was taken to Bellevue Hospital, suffering from
disease which had destroyed his nose and
lips and had begun to effect his eyes, He was
taken in charge by Dr. Gustavus Sabine, and
since that time has been under treatment with a
view to replacing the lost parts Of the face.
After the course of the disease had been
checked, the process Of building up was be-
gun by cutting away the flesh about the
edges Of the orifice, where the nose had
been. Then the inside of the large finger
the right hand was hayed, and the fresh cut
wound was fitted where the nose should be-
The hand was held in place by bandages and
plaster of paris until the finger had grown
fast to the forehead and cheeks of the patient
In the meantime the mouth was covered by
the lads throat through which he was fed and
through which he also breathed.
When the grating Of the finger to the face
was completed, and the circulation established
the finger was amputated near the knuckle,
leaving two and-a-half joints attached to
CURED about year, but the process was
only begun The next step was to trim down
the finger into the shape Of nose by remov-
ing the bone and gradually building up the
flesh on each side and drawing the skin from
the cheeks and forehead over it. In course of

The eyes of the unfortunate boy had both
been drawn out of position somewhat and
these were Strengthened by clipping nerves in

were also patched up at the inner ends.
The next step was to give the boy new pair

pieces of flesh from the cheeks and grating
them in place bit by bit
Yesterday after thirteen years of experience
under surgeons knife, having meantime
operations, the patient, now young man, left
the hospital His face was smooth, and to the
casual observer bore no traces Of what he had
passed through. The case is extraordinary
for the extent of the work done and the per-

What is the truth to believe,
What is the right to be done?
Caught in the webs I weave,
- halt from sun to sun. &
The bright wind flows along,
Calm natures streaming law,
And it's stroke is soft and strong
Asa leopard's velvet paw.
Free of the doubling mind,
Full Of the Olden power,
Are the tree, and the bee, and the wind
And the wren and the brave May flower
Man was the last to appear,
A glow at the close of day;
Slow clambering now in fear,
He gropes his slackened way.
All the up thrust is gone,
Force that came from of old,
Up through the fish and the swan,
And the sea-king's mighty mold
The youth of the world is fled,
There are omens in the sky,
Spheres that are chilled and dead,
And the close of an age ia nigh.
The time is too short to grieve,
Or to choose, for the end is one;
And what is the truth to believe,
And what is the right to be done?
