Mourning Costume Of Coreaus.

Mourning in Corea is a most burden
some Guty. When a father dies, for in
stance, the sons must dress themselves in
a suit Of ~sackcloth, with a rope girdle
about the waist. On the head is worn
an enormous hat, about the size of a rain
umbrella, and made of basket work.
This hides tie whole upper portion Of the
body, and for further protection against
obtrusion the mourne carries a large fan
before his face. II was in this disguise that
the Jesuits were enabled to enter the
country and Gerry on their work. They
lave Tut recently laid it aside. Even the
pipe IL wrapped with white paper and
white shoes IRE worn. The mourner is
not expected to DO any work, but at
stated times 10 has duties to perform at
lis ancestors tomb. All this is very
hard for some TO bear, US the whole re-
sources Of a fairly prosperous family may
thus be exhausted. In the case of useful
officials whom the king cannot spare
from duty, the period of mourning may
be shortened by royal decree.-Cor. San

Tho People Of Roumania

The Roumanians or Wallachians are a
people of entirely different type from the
Saxons. A conquered race, though they
claim descent from the ancient Romans,
they are nevertheless regarded with con-
tempt by all their ~neighbors, and have
become infatuated by centuries Of OPP
preston and abuse to habits of cowardice.
subseryiency and deceit, Yet they are
a race of singular yigor and fertility,
noted for their longevity and personal
beauty. Whereas the Saxon counten-
ances look as if rudely carved from wood,
those of the Roumanians frequently re-
call the faces to be found an old canoes
and signet rings.
The forms assumed by their supersti-
tons show that they are an imaginative
and p~oetical people. They have cordial
and gracious manners, and their family
feelings are SO warm that each miserable
Roumanian hut, overlooking with chill
dren, is the home of kindness and affec-
ton. Each child is regarded as a new
blessing from the Almighty, and to he
childless as the greatest Of Affections.
Their Saxon neighbors speak of them
with contempt as immoral, and there is
undoubtedly ground for the reproach,
but it should be remembered that the
Saxon maintains his superior morality at
the cost Of frequent divorces and amid do
nestle discussions, while the Roumanlan,
to whom an early marriage is forbidden
by military regulations, seldom breaks
the informal nnion contracted in his
youth, and preserves always a spirit of
kindliness in his domestic relations. -

Literary work, poker, cigarettes and the

''Recollections of a Dizzy Life" and to
h~aye.acquir.d a knowledge of the Amer

Americans with spare cash and a dispo-
sition to play. He smokes an incalcula-

Bacillus. But this active life begins to
tell IN him. He is said to be thin and
nervous and it is thought that the state
of his health will convince him of the
necessity of giving up his literary work.

no longer contest with Senator VIM. E. Chand-

on March next, but that he would retire in
Chandler's favor. In return for this Chandler

Gallinger position in President Harrison's

beat Chandler in the race. DR.. Gallinger goes

Merrimack county he has II out of the "a

the majorities are largely in his favor In Bel

Hillsboro and Cheshire Gallinger has
not less than two-thirds of each delegation,

THE TALK OF LONDON.
The Inquiry into Mr.. Sheehy's Arrest
Salisbury and the Holborn Election.


Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The commission appointed
to inquire into p. Sheehy's arrest will proba-
bly, report Tuesday. 1t is believed there will
be serious differences of opinion. and the re-
port will therefore either be colorless or there
will be majority and minority reports. The
fact that reporters were excluded indicates
that the majority, although small, is opposed to
the Parnellites.
Lord Salisburys reference to the liberal can
didate in Holborn of 1886 as a black man is
much commented on, his opponents reminding
him that the queen Of England is also empress
OF India. Salisbury's explanation of the in
creased support of the liberal candidate at the
recent election is untenable, because at the
election which took place only six months be-
fore the election of 1856 the liberal candidate
was an Englishman and an astute LAWYER and
the result was practically the same Naoroji.
the black man referred to, is a middle-aged
gentleman, hardly darker in complexion than
many Englishmen. He is a retired Bombay
merchant and is considered an authority on
questions of trade and finance.
The appointment of Norman to be governor
OF Queensland is generally approved. The
post was refused by Lords Balfour and Dunra-

the lot First it was said that the Tiber creek
sewer ran under it and there could be no safe
foundation, statement which Mr.. Smith says
he proved to be erroneous. Then Mr.. Webb
urged that the Commissioners could not spare
the money asked for the ground, and finally
they purchased elsewhere, through Mr. Cox.
These objections, Mr.. Smith saws. were no,
raised until after he presented the letter au.
thorizing him alone to sell the lot.
