THE CHINESE ARMY.
Good Material, But Undisciplined and
Badly Organized.

Good Material, But Undisciphneo and
Badly Organized.
IL see that some of the people who
have been recently in China credit that
nation with considerable improvement
of late in military matters" says an
army officer who has Travelled some
what extensively in the Flowery King
dom. There would have to be-con-
siderable more improvement than
seems likely to occur, however, before
the army would ever be entitled to a
high standing in a military point of
view. I am not speaking of fighting.
The Chinese certainly fight we'll.
There seems to be total Indifference.
to death and danger on the part of a,
Chinaman that comes, suppose, from
their fatalism and their peculiar re-.
ligious views.
But in the art of war, as the civil.
lied nations understand it, they are
away behind the Caucasian race, and I
don't see how, under Chinese customs,
they can ever catch up. Take the one;
exercise of Workmanship. They have
competitive matches, to be sure, but,
while the poorer marksmen are pun
ished. the best are rewarded with only;
the same kind of a square silver medal
that is worn by a Generals dog.
The pay of the rank and file is toll.
erablv large measured by the standard
of wages in the country, but the men;
are paid very irregularly, and serious
trouble on that account occurs not in
frequently. The officers are unedu-
Gated, and are willing generally to act
as menials for their superiors in the
hope of promotion, which depends on
caprice. They are generally dissipated,
idle fellows. given to opium smoking
in spite OF the regulations which for
bid it. The non-commissioned officers
are hardly distinguishable from the:
priyates. The soldiers are employed:
for various duties other than military
and are badly armed. The Govern.
ment has procured costly weapons,
such as repeating rifles, but these are
not kept in good order, and the waste
fulness and official corruption Of the
Government has impaired the spirit Of
the army as it has every thing else I
ever saw in China-"-M. Y. Mail G:s6

Guard Against Fire.

Salem might well profit by Seat
tle's experience and have everything
in readiness for visitation of the
devouring flames. The fire engines
are now drawn by horses, and ii is
possible for the engines to be at the
scene of the conllagration very soon
after the alarm is given. II
would now bc well to see that the
hydrants are all in easy working
order. All connections should be-
looked to and then Salem need have
no fear from sudden destruction.
The fire boys are in good trim, and
everything necessary for their use
should be provided.
