CHINESE ARMAAIENrS.

It Is thought by many, that should
an European war occur, England
may, perhaps, find herself with an
Asiatic war on her hands too. The
letters sent to the Times from month
to month by correspondents in China,
show that there are always plenty of
disputes going on between English
subjects and Chinese officials, any one
OF which might be made the excuse for
serious quarrel. The Chinese have
been preparing for war steadily for
for some years. Thirty-f1ve years ago
we ridiculed the Chinese ornaments:
and no doubt soldiers armed with
bows and arrows were not very formid-
able. But twenty years later they
had learnt the use Of artillery. as
our experience at the Taku forts
taught US.
Since the war Of 1860 the Celestials
have been recognizing their forces.
both by land and sea. They have
had the help OF English and American
officers. They have replaced their
junks with ironclads; they have
armed these and their land defences
with rifled guns Of the heaviest metal.
They have an army of q. million
OF men, a considerable portion
or them provided with breech-load-
Ing rifles. Above all, the Chinese
troops are now disciplined as they
never were before. Now, against
whom are all these preparations di-
rectedp Anglo-Indians have no diff
Guilty in answering the question, they
say, Against England" against the
foreign DEVILS" as the Chinese call
US. They thoroughly detest us be-
cause we have already beaten them,
and fined them heavily more than
once - because we are ever vexing
them by our endeavors to open up
their country.

CURIOUS FREAK OF A DOG.

A Radnorshire lady, who was mar
r1ed in March, and came to reside in
Yorkshire, England, recently raid a
visit to her father, who, before she
was married, had kept two or three
sheep-dogs, of which she was very
fond. Since then he has retired from
business, and disposed of all but one
dog. This one met the lady with de-
monstrations Of great delight upon
her arrival at her fathers house. and
that night, the dog went a distance of
seven miles to house where one
OF the other dogs had been sent, (the
latter was blind, but kept as being an
old favorite.) In the morning when
the lady went to the door she not only
saw the dog which had given her such
a glad reception the day previously.
but also the old blind one, which had
evidently been brought by the other
dog to welcome her. When the
second night came the old blind one
was taken back to its home by the
same dog, which afterward returned
having travelled q distance of twenty.
eight miles to give pleasure to the old
blind one.

CHAPTER XIV.

THE FINAL EFFORT OF THE FINAL STRUGGLE.
Andrea Ferrato remained silent He
said nothing in answer to Count Sandorf.
His Corsican blood boiled within him.
He had forgotten the fugitives for whom
up to then, he had risked so much. He
thought only of the Spaniard, he saw
only Carpena!
The scoundrell The scoundrel !"
he murmured, at length. "Yesl Ho
knows all! We are at his mercyl L
ought TO have understood"
Sandorf and Bathory looked anxiouslv
at the fisherman. They waited for what
he was going TO say, what he was going
TO do. There was not an instant to lose.
The informer had, perhaps, already done
his work.
- Count" said Andrea, "the police
mT enter my house at any moment.
Ahat oeggar knows or supposes that you
are here. He came TO bargain with me.
My daughter was to be the price of his
silence. He would ruin you to be
revenged on me. II the police come you
cannot escape, andyou will be discovered.
Yes; you must go at once"
You are right, Ferrato," answered
Count Sandorf. "but before we separate
let mo thank you for all you have done
and oil you intended to do"
What 1 intended to do shall still
do, answered Andrea seriously.
I'VE refuse, said Bathory.
Yes. we refuse" added Sandorf.
You are already too deeply compro-
missed as it is. II they find MS in your
house they will send you TO the hulks.
Come. Stephen. let us leave this house
before we bring ruin and misfortune on
It Escape. but escape alone"
Ferrato seized Sandorfs baud
"Where will you 20 ?" said he. The
country is all watched by the authorities,
the police are patrolling il night and
day; there is not a spot on the coast that
you can get of from. not a footpath
across the frontier that is free. To go
without me Is 10 so to your death"
Follow my father, added Maria
"Whatever happens he viii do his
duty and Try 10 save you"
That is Il, daughter said Ferrato.
" 1t is only my duty. Your brother can
wait for US in the boat The night Is
dark. Before We can DO seen we shall
be at sea Goodbye. Marie. Good-byel"

THE YANKEE WON.

A Clever Trick Played at the Expense
of Florida Congressman.
Congressman Dougherty, of Florida, is a
firm bel lever in the superior attractions
of his State, as the following true story,
related by the Washington Critic, will
testify: On one occasion Massachusetts
man was his guest, and the Congressman
took him around showing him the charms
nature had so lavishly bestowed upon the
favored section.
"See," said Colonel Dougherty, rapt-
urously. "the beautiful flowers, the lus-
cious fruits, the soft blue sky, the birds
of brilliant plumage, the gentle undula-
tons of the land"
Yankee, slapping his face and hands, ST
see, but these Internal mosquitoes ruin
the prospect"
"Why, my dear sir" expostulated
DouRherty, ''there are no MOSQUITOES
here. You are totally mistaken. You
only think So"
The visitor wouldn't be persuaded.
however, and after an argument, empha.
sized by slaps, he accepted bet of fifty
dollars from his host that he (the host)
would take of his clothes and lie on his
face in the sand for ten minutes and not
be disturbed by the mosquitoes, nor show
the slightest sign of discomfort.
The Congressman peeled down to the
skin, Frustrated himself, and the visitor
stood over him holding a watch with one
hand and fighting the pests with the
other.
For five, six, seven minutes Dougherty
lay there, covered with mosquitoes, but
betraying not the slightest emotion. The
visitor by this time thought he was going
to lose his fifty, and with great sagacity,
took sun-glass from his pocket and
focused the rays on the Congressman's
back For quarter of a minute Dough-
erty never finched, then he began to
squirm. The Yankee kept perfectly still.
In three quarters of a minute Doughertv
was comforting like man in agony, and
stretching back one hand appealingiy &c
the visitor he called out:
Say, Boston, il you'll let me kill that
confounded yellow-jacket I'll go you fifty
dollars more on the mosquitoes"
