CHAPTER XIV.

Then came one last unspeakaDly grand
war-pagcant, st finale to the terrible five
years. tragedy-.the review IT Grants and
Shermans warriors at Washington before
President Johnson and his Cabinet.
For twelve hours this triunphal process
sion, forty miles long, in solid columns,
rolled through the broad avenues Of the
capital, with tattered flags flying and drums
beating. The world has seen before gor-
geous military displays, flashing with the
porup Of war, but never surely did mans
eye rest on q scene of such thrilling grand
eur as the endless march OF those dust
stained ,weather-beaten men, who had in the
blind devotion Of pure patriotism dared and
done 50 much for Fathcrland. The very air
was oppressive, as though responding to the
deep emotion of the crowds who saw them
pass. Greybeards wept, and sobbing wo-
men held up their little ones to gaze upon
tho solid ranks. that they might tell their
children's children they had seen the saviors
of their country.
Within six months all that mighty host had
returned home to the tranquil pursuits Of
civil life. Nations looked on in wonder as
they saw the disbandinR OF the immense
armies without the disorder and anarchy
they had prophesied. Surely no greater
proof was over given tho world OF the sta
bility Of /: republican government
Now, it CHANGED one day that Harry, eman-
cipated from the thraldom Of duty, was
strolling along the streets Of Washington,
purchasing in the crowded streets little
souvenirs to take home to his dear ones on
the bank of the st. Clair, when he encouu-
tered Willie Mckenzie. walking with o
f1ashlly dressed young man, whose cheap

street, Harry was left free to run down his
quarry. What an Insignificant little, vulgar
cad the fellow was, and to think that such
an apology for man should have poured
out the ife-b.ood Of big-hearted Frank
Barclay.
When Mckenzie was well out Of sight,
Winthrop quickened his pace, and, laying
his hand on tho fellows shoulder, said:

house, dingy mansion which had evidently
seen better days, but which now with bind

walls, looked indeed o cherries abode.
Dismounting and throwing tho bride OF
his horse to his orderly, he climbed the
stone steps and knocked at the door. There
was no answer. Again and again be re-
peated the blows till he could hear their
echoes revcrberating through the dismal
rooms, and was about to retire with the bit

THE MISSIONARY BABY EATING
Korean Gold Mines and a Chence for
American Capital-Ssoal at Night
Fire Signals on The Mountains.

SEOUL, KOREA, November 80, 1855
Especial Correspondence of THE
HERALD THE Americans have now
the swing in Korea, though the British
hog is supposed to be trying to root its
way in by the aid of the Chinese gov
eminent. Back of the opposition by
China to Korea's sending LEI alton to
Washington, and mixed with the pres
ent troubles between the two countries,
is a strong British influence. Great
Britain has the most selfish foreign
policy of any country on the face of the
globe. 1t would be glad to throw
Korea to China, in order to keep it out
OF the hands Of Russia, where, by the
way, it is now in no danger Of going.
1t would, in this way, the more easily
control Korea's small foreign trade
The national honor of the British is
matter of shillings and pence. The
English half-penny is bigger in their
eyes than the comfort of this whole
round earth. They forced the Chinese
TO become opidm-eaters to add trifle
to their income, and it is an open secret
in Japan that the adoption of English
railways and the letting of contracts to
English subjects was the price paid for
their pretended support in treaty re-
vision. a British foreign minister upon
being sent to Japan expressed himself
in favor OF the rights of the Japanese,
and he was told by the home govern
ment that he might do what he could
for Japan, but that he must remember
that anything that was asked for by the
Japanese might be demanded by the
Chinese as well.

America opened Japan, and had
Americans pushed their trades as the
British have done, they might be the
foremost power there. They stand to-
day in ths same relation to Korea that
they did to Japan along back in the
sixties, and in the words of Admiral
Shufeldt, who made the first treaty
with Korea, it is to be hoped that they
will hold their position, and take ad-
vantage of their opportunities. Korea
has one Of tae best climates IN the
world, and its mineral resources are al
most altogether und eveloped. Minister
Dinsmore tells me- that the King esrec-
tally taVors America, and that he is
anxious that capitalists should come ia
and develop the gold mines. The total
output of these mines last year was, as
said in former letter, about So, 900. 600
in nuggets and dust. But this was
chiefly the result of placer mining.
though some of it was extracted from
quartz. Korean quartz mining is of the
most primitive character. Large
round stones are rolled back and forth
over the quartz, which rests on hard
surface. 1t Is admitted that fully 50
per cent. OF the gold is loet, and the
use OF practical machinery might make
parts OF this country a second Cali
forula. Gold is found in all of the eight
provinces Of Korea, but the mines have
SO far existed only in several. l asked
Minister DiDsmore whether he thought
good terms could be made as to these
mines. He replied: yes, and Ameri-
cans would have the preference over
others IN making such contracts, IN.

The soldier in General Sherman's
army who, during a fight, began to cry
and said he wished he was "a baby and
a gal baby at that" would never have
done SO had he lived in Korea The
''gal" babies here, if they belong to the
better classes, end their life of fun at
years. After this they are not to be
seen on the streets, end no woman has
any thing 10 do with any one but her
brothers, her father and her husband.
Korean ladies have place in the back
of the house to themselves. Fashion
in dress does not change with them,
and their lives are those of almost per-
feet desolation. Those you see on the
street are the common women, or SER
wants, and these have green gowns over
their heads, and their dresses, which, l
am told, are cut after the same style as
those of the ladies, consist of short
skirt with a waist band about foot
wide which comes up and clasps their
breasts squeezing them almost like
corset. Over this comes short jacket
with sleeves which when wnnkled
plainly shows the decollette dividing of
yellow skin between belt and waist.
The only jewelry see is in the hairpins
which are in some cases twelve inches
long and as big around as your little
finger. They are made of silver and
jade. and sometimes have knobs on
them as big as the hand of 2-year old
baby. The servants of the palace wear
peck of false hair on their heads coil
ed in thick rolls. The Korean ladies
are very glad to see foreign ladies, but
few Of them are able to return the calls.
One of them told an American friend of
mine that she found it very hard to lead
such secluded life, and she longed for
the customs of our country. All Kor-
can ladies smoke. They have their
polite ways of bowling, and their code
of etiquette, and not few of them
rule their husbands. The laws Of
divorce are almost altogether on the
husbands side, and widows among the
better classes do not marry again.

There is now one big American firm
in Korea. and here at Seoul the foreign
colony, which is made up of three or
four score of bright men and women. is
almost altogether American. The

Considering the povery of Korea,
one might suppose that the foreigners
here had hard life. This is far from
the case. They have comfortable
homes at Seoul, and their provisions,
which come in large part from China,
are plenty and good. They have a
pleasant society among themselves,
play tennis, have concerts, and as far
as l can hear, are the most free from
social chickering's and strife of any OF
the foreign colonies of the western
Pacific. Their lives are reasonably
safe except in such outbreaks as that
of last June, when some of the anti
foreign fanatics among the natives
started the story that the foreign devils
were feasting on Korean babies. Then
for time 1t looks squally, and the
troops have to be called from one OF
our men of war, which usually lies III
the harbor at Chemulpo. The foreign
ers keep ia doors. The king sends out
proclamation, the Koreans quiet
down and it is again all quiet On the
river which flows by Seoul.

The only women who have the right
to be seen by men outside their own
families, are the dancing girls, and these
are much like the Geishss of Japan.
They are called in at feasts, and there
are many famous dancers who are en-
loyed especially to appear before the
King. These girls wear fine dresses Of
silk, and they whiten their skins with
powder and paint. They sing in a sort
OF chant and their dance is series of
posturing like that of the same class of
girls in Japan. Many of them become
concubines, and concubinage is com
mon in Korea.
