DEVILS oE CHINESE MYTHOLOGY.
Their Return to Earth-Burning Sscri-
hcen-Sniritmnl Marriage.


According to hcathcn belief the devils Of
Chinese mythology begin their periodic visits
to this world to-day They remain here for
seven days. They bring with them the rela-
tivcs, in spirit form, of the living, and cX-
pect good treatment from the latter. The
Chinese residents of Pittshurg have made ali
arrangements Ia give their spiritual guests
warm greeting. At their homes or in public
places they will offer up burnt sacrifices, con-
sstng of chickens. ducks, pork, fruits, sugar,
nuts, eggs and 50 forth The Chinese devils
are usually accredited with hcin. very smart.
and good Judges of what constitutes good
sacrifice. and if they discover that mortalS
are not Offering up the first and best fruits of
the land, they are apt to act aS torneutIug rs
only devils can.
The devils come upon the earth from the
first Ia the seventh DAYS Of every seventh
Chinese month. They are supposed 10 wear
the same kind Of clothing as i worn 10y living
Cinnamon, and they deprnd upon their
periodic visits tu earth Ia get supplied with
the proper outfit Consequently this week,
besides the sacrifice Of the articles above
mentioned, there will l." n general Offering
up of certain kind Of money which Is sup
posel t0 PASS as legal tender IN the spiritual
world. This takes the form Of paper richly
decorated with gold leaf and Chinese insCrlp-
tionS, and is about five inches l"nry and wide.
The clothing burned is also richly decorated
with many cnl1rS. These sacrifices are uSIl-
ally burncI at night on the seven days Of the
devils visit.
The Chinese have other serious beliefs about
the spiritual world. They think that ~ S,on
as a person dies he goes at once t. the next
world. There the immortalS have laws poll
tics, marriages. etr., as well a. mortals do on
this earth. When man and wife die they
Pcct to I've united again hereafter, hut when
unmarried persons die their spirits wander
about on earth until their parents have found
a suitable companion for them in the upper
evil spirit enters into the heart OF the mortal
whom he loves, and tOrmrntS it to death.
The spiritual marriage among the Chinese is
usually cundurtel 10y women. Ii boy is
dead. his mother looks around to find a girl
of about the same age who can be his spirit
ual mate Only the fortune teller has the
right TO appoint the day for the marriage A
priest performs the ceremony. Many prayers
are repeated from morning until night, until
the hour has come. Then the priest rails the
couple, who are represented ON paper, 10y the
names which they were known by before
death, says many pleasant words, and pro-
nounces them man and wife.--PittSburg

Senator Whitthorne.

Every Democrat and every honest
citizen well be glad to see the Hon
Washington Curraf WhitthorI .
back in Congress-this time at the
Senators end of the Capitol.
The appointment of Gen. Whit
thorn by Gov Bate to the seat made
vacant by the resignation of Senator
jackson was celebrated by the peo-
pie of Tennesse9 with bonfires and
cannon firing in Nashville, Knox
vile, Memphis and elsewhere in the
State. The tribute was spontaneous
for the appointment of Gen. Whit
thorn had not been expected and it
is gratifying to note that the val
liable service which Whitthorn rem
6ered in the House of Representa-
tives are fully appreciated by his
fellow citizens in Tennessee.
Time goes so fast that there may
be readers of the Sun who do no
remember that to Whitthorn, of
Tennessee more than to any other
man then in Congress, the country
owes that thorough exposure of
Robesonism in the Navy Depart.
ment which was the first breach
made In tAe lines of intrenched cor
ruption. No Democrat did more
to make possible the election Of Mr.!
TiTden'in 1875, OF to bring about
the change in public sentiment
which finally drove the Republican
party out of power.
Senator Whittholn is an honest
man, and a civil service refo1mer of
the right sort.-New York Sun.
