Caring for Deprayed Spirits.
ROAST PIG AND CHICKEN AND PAPER MAN
AND MAID sERvA IT'S AT THE GRAVE.

The part of Evergreen Cemetery
looked all day like Chinese fair. Be
fore each little earthern pile was group
of devoted Cinnamon, with lighted
tapers and joss sticks and huge pile of
roasted pigs, chickens and other delica-
cies, to delight the spirits of departed
ones. Alongside of the sacrifcial offer
ings were the various figures made out
of fire cracker and other colored paper,
some in the shape of men and women,
beasts, birds and dragons, while others
initiated the various currencies of the
world. They were mostly stamped on
the paper, instead of made into the life
size figures, as is the custom in China.
The ceremonies of sending servants
and provisions to the dead were conduct
ed in solemn silence. Hardly a word
was uttered by the devotees except an
occasional whisper to the attendants
when anything was required. After all
the daInties had been formally offered
to the dead a match was applied to the
pile of paper servants, prayers, and mo-
ney, and just before the blaze died out an
urn of rice wine was poured upon 1t.
This was a parting drink to the spirit
who carried away the presents.
The ceremonies over, the roasted pigs
and chickens were carried back into the
various carriage and carted back to
Mott street and laundries throughout
the city.
In hina the period for sending offer
ings to the dead la3ts ten days, but here
it is briefer. In Mot street yesterday
it was a general holiday with the China
men.--Neoo York San.

JACKSON AND THE VETERAN.
The President Would not Dismiss he HTau
D., With a Pound of Lead in His Body.


Removals from Office that places
might be provided for jackson men were
the order of the day, but President
! Jackson was not disposed to displace
any veteran soldier. Among other vic
tins designated for removal by the
politicians was General Solomon Van
Rensselaer,, whose gallant services
against Great Britain in the war of 1912
had been rewarded by an election to the
House of Representatives, followed by
/ is appointment as Postmaster of Al
bany. He was a decided Federallst.
and the petition for his removal was
headed by Martin Van Bu en- and Silas
Wright.
Rensselaer, receive | NScordgal greeting
from General Jackson at u public re-
ception, and then, taking a seat in a
corner, he waited until the room was
cleared, when he again approached the
President, saying: General Jackson,
have come here to talk to you about
my Office The politicians want to take
it from me, and they know have moth
ing else to live upon.n I he President
made no reply. till the aged Postmas er
began to take off his coat in the most
excited manner, when Old Hickory
broke out with the inquiry: "What in
the Heavens name are you going to do2
Why do you take off your coat here2"
'Well, sir, am going to show you my
wounds, which l received in fighting
for my country against the English :"
"Put it on at once. sitn' was the reply:
81 am surprised that q man of your age
should make such an exhibition of him
self" and the eyes Of the iron President
were sutfused with tears as, without an
other word, he bade his ancient foe
good evening.
The next day Messrs. Van Buren and
Wright called at the White House and
were shown up into the Presidents
room, where they found him smoking a
clay pipe. Mr.. Wright soon COM
menced to solicit the removal Of Gen.
Van Rensselaer,, asserting that he had
been known as very active advocate of
John Quincy Adams; that he had liter
ally forfeited his place by his earnest
opposition to the Jackson men, and that
If he were not removed the new Admin
istration would be seriously injured.
He had hardly finished the last sentence
when Jackson sprang to his feet, flung
his pipe into the fire, and exclaimed,
with great vehemence, 81 take the con
sequences, sir | take the conse-
quences By the Eternal! I will not
remove the old mani l cannot remove
him! Why, Mr.. Wright, do you not
know that he carries more than pound
of British lead in his body?" That set
tied the question, and General Van
Rensselaer, remained undisturbed as
Postmaster at Albany through the Jack
son Administration, although Martin
Van Buren, when he came into power,
promptly bounced" him

Mexican Vanity.

The Mexicans are an ignorant, blood
thirsty lot, who are never so happy as
when in the midest of pillages, robbery
and bloodshed They are vain, con-
ceited people. and have the most enlarged
ideas of their own prowess and valor.
To illustrate this I will tell you of GER
tain incident which happened only a
month or two ago. A young Mexican
from the City of Mexico, who is con-
nected with the government, came to
Washington, after a tour of nearly all
the prominent cities of the country. 1
asked him what his impressions were of
our people. He said that he was as
tonished at the strides which the United
States had made in civilization and the
arts. He spoke particularly of IN sic,
of which he is very fond, and said that
he had the good fortune to be present at
the concerts given by the famous Mexi-
