a PECULIAR PEOPLE.

THERE are some odd facts in regard to
the + suit of six or seven thousand years of
Gh nese civilization, and we presume that
those VINO may specu ate upon the probable
condition of the Anglo Saxon on or about
the LIST Of January $40 AID. will not over
look a few of the salient features which
have grown up over the advanced age of
she Monaghan dynasty. just think of it:
there is not road in all the broad expanse
OF popu Gus China where even a wheelbar-
row could be driven or horse led except
around Shanghai, and here the English
have built them. They have no cemeteries
no tombstones mark their last resting place
on earth. Those who own private gardens
bury their dead and those of their friends
herein. Those who have no gardens or
plots of ground lay The bodies of the dead
in rough boxes on the surface Of the open
ields. The Chinese regard the souls of
their ancestry as III Ks In the length of
great chain, which, they say, enables them
20 reach up to the Supreme Source Of life
and Ruler of the universe. This is the rea.
sou why these remarkably quick.witted,
keen people will not tolerate the construc.
ton of a railroei iii their country. They
declare that the locomotive and rafting
trains would certainly violate the sacred
charm Influenced in their behalf by causing
the abrupt, scared flight of their ancestry,
who are ever lowering around them.
They have no banks in China, and no coin
Of value except our silver and that of Next
90. They have no lawyers, but they have h
perfect, rigidly enforced system of law and
order. The principals alone can plead their
cases. The first social rank in China can
only be attained by literary merit AL
Cinnamon read and write, because educa-
zion IL compulsory. Every man in China
Il free to compete for literary degree, and
last year one hundred and seven thousand
candidates for this honor were entered at
Canton for examination. Those Of this
large number who pass muster here are free
10 advance to the higher national grade
competition at Pekin--annually held there
land when they pass this ordeal they be-
come rnaudarins and live in high estate at
the public expense. No military man is al
lowed to compete for these liberal honors in
China. This annual selection from the
whole Chinese people of its rulers, who
represent its best thought and mental
power, has probably been the greatest and
most potent factor Of their remarkable vi
tality and preservation as nation, but at
me same time it increases the wonder that
they should have stood still on the avenue
Of progress for hundreds of years.

Be Sensible.

Do not be above your business. he who
turns mp his nose Mt work quarrels will
bread and butter. He is q poor smith who
- afraid Of his own sparks; there's some
discomfort in all trades except chimney
sweeping. II sailors give up going to sea
because Of the wet; If bakers left of bak
ing bread because it is hard work II plough
men would not plough because of cold, and
tailou would not make our clothes for fear
Of pricking their fingers, what pass we
would come to. Nonsense, my fine fellow,
there's no shame about any honest calling
don't be afraid of soiling your hands, there's
plenty of soap to be had.
All trades are good to good traders. Lu..
cifer matches pay wen if you sell enough OF
them. You cannot get honey if you are
frightened at bees, nor plant corn if you
are afraid Of getting mud on your boots.
When bars Of iron melt under the south
wind; when you can dig the fields with
toothpicln; blow ships along with fans
manure the crops with lavender water, and
grow plum cases In flower pots, there will
s. . 6ne time for handles but until the
millennium comes we shall all have deal

PASSING THE TEUToNIc GUARD.

One OF the most efficient divisions in the
Army of the Potomac, as organized by
Gen. Mcclellan in the fall OF 1861, was
that commanded by Blenker, who came
at he head OF the First German rifles of
New York, about 500 strong, and became
the commander of some IL 900 men nearly
all of them Germans. Like the children
of the captive Jews WHO spoke 'half in
Hebrew and half in the speech of Ashdod,,
these Teutonic warriors had vague idea
OF the English language, and their style OF
challenging" was unique.
As l was going the grand rounds with
a lady and gentleman from Boston, we
were passed through all the pickets on
the Leesburg turnpike on the presentation
of free season ticket on railroad route
which was first shown by accident instead
OF the legitimate pass from headquarters,
and afterwards to test the knowledge of
the sentries. "Yshl dat ish goot-for-
vartl" was the approving verdict after
each ostensible careful examination of the
card.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the London Tele,
graph who went to the Yellowstone Park
vscently was astonished by the big farms
wAioh he saw In Dakota. He wrote "The
particular farm we inspected was twelve
niles square. 1t was one vast field Of
wheat no division of any kind appearing
except roads for wagons and horses. On
he morning we visited it the harvesters
were to commence reaping, and one hun.

FRENCH NAVAL CATS.

TIE most humble Of the civil function
aries Of the French Republic are the naval
sats. There are some hundreds of them
and their Importance is duly recognized by
he State, which supports them in such
somfort and dignity as BELTS their official
yosition. The French naval cat enters the
service in his kittenhood, and spends the
lrst year or two of his active career on
board man-of-war, where he is berthed in
the hold and permitted to devour whatever
ne can catch. Having thus passed through
his apprenticeship, he is sent ashore and
quartered at one Of the FIVE naval ports as

CURIOUS FRENCH I.RGACIEs.

NJ. BOURBON has left twenty thousand
francs to the Paris poor Of the Seventh
ACCOMPLISHMENT, with the proviso that the
nunici pality shall keep his tomb in order.
The co1icll provides that the interest shall
be given each year to n poor family having
7narrageahle daughter. The good doctor
must have read the biography of Van
Steemskerk. the Dutch painter, who left
similar provision for the dowerless girls
of his native village. He did not seem to
have cared, however, for the spiok.and- span
appearance of HE grave, because the will ex-
presslv stated that the wedding should take
pace on the spot In addition he left in
strnctions for the disposal of his wine, of
which he possessed sixteen thousand bot
ties. Two hundred were to be consumed
at each marriage until the stock was ex-
hsusted. Curious bargains are the order
of the day here. Another gentleman has
left sum to the Academic Franchise to
be converted into an annual prize for the
most shining example of filal piety. Assur-
r!ly, if the virtues do not flourish in
France it is not for The want of encourage,

PhOtographing a Cyclone.

What would make a finerpanorama
than a series OF pictures OF a Kansas
town struck by a cyclone, showing it,
first, in its ordinary state; second,
with the big black cloud which presag-
ed the stormin the background; third,
with the inhabitants fleeing for shelter
to their cyclone pits; fourth, with the
buildings hurting wildly through the
air and the few inhabitants who did
not reach cover in time mixed up
among the flying debris; and last, with
the houses and stores mostly In ruins,
and the peoplecautiously crawling out
of the pits to view the wreck? Ii, in
stead of five, 500 views should be TAX
en- a few seconds apart, the wholecould

only difficulty in making sets of views
like these would beto havethe photog-
rapher. ready with his Gamers and a
set of plates just at the right moment,
and to prevent him and his machine
from blowing away with the rest ofthe
things. But surely modern science can
easily solve such a trivial difficulty as
this. The possibilities of instantane-

In the fields for them to eat and make
no attempt to get in, but just al Don
as the corn began to ripen they began
to look for places to break in. Iheard
another man not long since say he had
an old SOW which would stealinto the
field at night and come out before day.
This may sound rather wonderful, but
a more remarkable Ease than this has
Just lately fallen under my notice.
