large and complete stock of boots and shoes

A Ch:naman'S Ambition.

The greatest ambition which keeps
alive the Chinaman's courage in this
country is the ever-prevailing idea that,
at no distant day, he will earn enough
to 90 home and there start in business,
and possibly get married. At home the
Chinaman marries at about the age of
twenty-five. Before marriage the
groom rarely sees the bride, the pre-
lim;nary arrangements being conducted
entirely by the parents, even t. the
sending of gifts between the affianced
parties. The day for the marriage ccre-
mony arrived, the bride and her friends
start from the parents house to that of
the future husband; half way there, the
groom's friends meet her, and she is by
them escorted the remainder of the
Journey Upon reaching the house of
her lover she is conducted with covered
head, into the room where he awaits
her. They sit down s de by SIDE, and
then enSues a most interesting per-
Torrance; each tries to sit upon some
part of the clothing of the other, the
one succeeding in doing so being de-
clared the future ruler Of the hou ehOld.
After this ceremony the pair retire to
another room where is an altar, and be-
fore this they worship Heaven and their
the face of the bride. A feast follows,
and the marriage is complete.
The Chinese are exceedingly proud OF
large family, and fortunate is the man
who numbers many children. The
young are brought up to respect the
memory of their ancestors. If the pa
ents are wealthy, the sons are given the
best education; but it is thought of lit
tie account to educate the daughters.
An erroneous opinion is prevalent that
a Chinaman can not return to his
own country without his queue or bang,
as it is called. Such is not tlin fact, for
John may return without it, though he
is ever afterward diShOnorCd, FIR his
family and relatives will disown him
unless he st ii wears that most charac-
teri>tic appendage. The writer is in
formed on good authority that those
who indulge in rats as food regard
ed by the better class as uncivilized,
even as we regard some of the practices
of the Indian as beneath the social scale
of the civilized white man. As rule,
the Chinese ere very social people.
Many of them come to this country
merely to learn the language, aud tLey
prove most apt pupils. The incentive
to learn English is great, as in China it
is very easy for a good English scholar
to obtain lucrative employment. Their
own language is very peculiar. although
it is about as easy for an Eng ish-speak-
ing person to learn as is the German.
Tne written Chinese, on the contrary, Is
most difficult, as it requires years of
study for thorough mastery, and even
then it is rarely accomplished. Recent
ly a well-known Chinsman, having
himself good education, sent his SON,
who was born in this country, to China,
for the purpose of acquiring an educa-
ton in tie Chinese language. In this
country the Chinese do not seek an an-
quintance outside of their own country
men; but. should an American gain
their friendship, he can rely on having
in them true friends,-Bost0B Herald

Dickens's Readings.

We can assure gu" readers who never
hear Dickens rca that they lost moth
ing which might help them to under
stand his creations His b;ographer
tells us that he and other friends re-
monstrated with him against the I'M
wisdom of the excitement and labor of
these readings; but the money returns
argued on the other de. He cont n
uei them with a few intervals until
nearly tie end of his life, went to Anne
lea a second time. in the end of 1867,
for the sole purpose of getting money
by reading, was very i'll the whole time.
hut kept on, despite of warnings. and
had his reward in the shape of enor-
nous gains $500 night. "The man
ager is always going about with an i'm
mense bundle that looks like sofa
cushion, but is in reality paper-mo"ey,
ard it had risen to the proportion
of so'a on the morning he lie for
Phi a lelphia. He cleared go, COZ in
this expedition. Befo eIeturning home
he had already settled wi h Il London
firm of Spectators to give 100 readings
more in England for $500 net.
That DICKENS was very careful man
VIII be evident to every one. His quar-
reIs with his pit blishers about money
make one of the least agreeable fca-
lures in his character. That he was
generous to his literary helpers we have
already said. The hundred readings
began, and soon again began
the distressing bodily symptoms
which had appeared in Ameri-
ca, but which the rest of the
voyage home had allayed. The doctors
at length peremptoriIy forbade the con-
t'nuance of the readings. He got bet
ter, then applied for leave to begin again,
and received permission for a final
twelve,tprovided there was no railway
travelling. We heard two of the last,
one on which he prided himself more
than auy-the murder of Nancy by
Sykes. He writes that ''the effect was
tremendous, that ''B. was SO terrified
that he was dazcd all the evening"" that
some were taken out fa'nting. We can
certainly say that tn re was no such eff
feet near US. Faein was very fine,
Sykes was passable, Noah Claypole was
a fool, but not the supreme sneak of the
story, and Nancy was intolerably ''sta-
ey." We have seen her better done at
a country theatre, and all simply be-
cause, to give her individuality, the read
er had to rave and throw himself about.
The same evening he read Mrs.
Camp" We expected much fun out If
this, but by the time it came he was ev!-
IDENTIFY exhausted, and it was painful to
watch him. He gave his last reading
on the 18th of March, 1870, and followed
it by few graceful and touching words
from the platform of heartfelt, CRATE
ful. respectful, affectionate farewell ;"
But the mischief which had begun was
now irreparable. Fresh signs of ruined
health followed one upon the other, and
on the Sth of june he was seized with a
tit, while seated at dir ner with his sis
ter-at-law, and died in twenty-four
hours, without the least return TO con-
scioI sness.-Sco tiSh RerteW.

Collie.

1he symptoms of collie, one of the
most fatal diseases to horse, are read
lily detected. The horse invariably
scrapes with his fore feet, kicks at the
stomach and shifts about, turns around,
smells the floor, lies down, rolls, re-
naming for a time on his back and
breathes heavily throughout. At re-
cent meeting of the London Farmers
Club. a relief and sure cure was pre-
sented by a gentleman who has been
all his life among horses. When the
horse shows the symptoms of an attack
of collie, apply at once a horse cloth or
wooden rug, wrung out of boiling water,
to the stomach and to the sides and
cover with another couple of cloths TO
retain the heat. As they cool renew
the cloths Ms often as needful. A large
bran poul ice. as hot as can be borne.
is equally effective and retains the heat
longer.-CaicaQo JourrsGl.

The Bazaar, India.

The immense number of stalls for
sweetmeats is among the most striking
peculiarities of native bazaar. The
consumption thereof must be tremen-
dous, to say nothing of the quantity Of
sugar cane which old and young seem
to MUNICH whenever they are not chew
ing betel. And yet the beauty of their
teeth is by no means in accordance with
our theories of the disadvantage of such
dainties. Every mouth alike displays
rows of such dazzling ivory as put most
Europeans to shame-the latter too Of
ten reminding us of that Northumbrian
farmer who went TO ''canny Newcas-
tie" to invest in a set of false teeth, and
returned with complete set of box
wood, with. as he justly remarked,
were only half the price land mair the
color of the auld anes." Perhaps re-
spectful insolence could hardly have de-
vised a more cutting remark than that
of bearer, who, when his master had
thoroughly lost his temper, observed
with low salaam, and quite in accord
ance with his duty as valet, that he
thought master had forgotten to brush
his teeth that morning! As 10 the ma
tives, they are forever brushing theirs.
or rather polishing them, with soft fat
stick about the width of your finger.
AS YOU pass through native town in
the early morning it seems rs if the
whole population had turned out of
their houses to perform this part of their
toilet in public, and such an amount of
scraping and polishing goes on that you
marvel how any enamel is left. Nor is
this the only part of the morning
adornment that occurs in public. The
bath is either at the river or the open
tank, but promscuous washing goes on
in the street at all hours and seasons,
as does also the work of the barber,
who reduces the fine silky black hair TO
a very small top-knot. This is the only
moment when the lower caste HiEdus
are ever seen bare-headeu. If, there
fore, YOU care to mark the strange di-
versity of cranial development between
the elongated high skulls of the upper
castles and the low type common to the
scrfs. or low castles, lin other words,
the descendants of the Aryans and those
of the aboriginal races of lndia), the
portunity for study. In short, but for
this celestial top-knot you might mag
inc, as You glance at a group of those
shining skulls that you had got into a
colony of the hairless men of Australia;
that curious tribe of aborigiucs known
as the Bald Men of the Flinders and
Albert Rivers, who literally are desti-
tute of any vcstigc of hair, and 60
through life from their birth to their
grave as bald as billiard hall. Ger
tainly mother nature would have saved
the Hindus a great deal of trouble if
she had created them with the same de-
ticiency. Next comes the painting of
those curious lines and marks on the
face, denotng caste and otherwisc SYM
bolical. Some have three white lines,
others perpendicular stripes; a small
horizontal line on the forehead denotes
having bathed; in fact, being ready for
society. Other marks show at whose
shrine worship has been offered; the
trident, for instance, denoting the wor-
shippers of S sa.-Bctgrarta.
