The system of taxation 10 quite unlike
that of other countries. Taxes outside
Of Pekin2 are paid on arabic land only,
the tax varying 18th the crop.producloe
quality OF the soil. Inside the city OF
Psking there is no tax on land, houses or
personal property. Goods brought to
the city gates pay lekin tax. bot are
exempt from taxation afterward. The
only tax on iand and houses in Peking
is on the sale Of real estate, ten per cent
being charged on the price obtained for
the property sold. There is also . tax
bling license fee. Outside Of Pek-
ing, Chinese subjects are liable to be
called on to perform certain duties when
ever the Emperor pssses thruogh their
districts, bat this duty may be avoided
by the payment Of small tax. All
moneys spent on public account IN
pekiug come from the imperial treasury.
and the expenditure is not limited to
funds raised by taxation in the city.
The bulk Of the people in Psking pay
no taxes whatever. The man who owns
his house and lot aud his implements Of
labor enjoys bis earnings without tax or

CHINESE CHILDREN.
How They Trained and What
 Their Amuaements Are,

Rather bright is the average Chinese boy, an active little fellow. his almond shaped eyes, shining like a pair of jet beads, with no clothes to speak of in sum- mer and In winter dressed like small edition of his father. As a baby he is and his first Chinese words are 'pa" and "ma," just as though he spoke English.
 The first great event of the boys life and his first trial Is when the barber is called in to shave his head. He gener- ally proves on that occasion to be a true "wa-wa, with vigorous lungs. After this first shaving, his head for several years seems to send forth what may be called "queue sprouts" tn every direction the hair ought to grow. Sometimes as many as five or six, each braided and tied with red cord. are found upon one boy. The great day of his youthful life, the day of "trousers with pockets in 'em," is when all these smaller queues are shaved off and the single Queue-the queue of manhood-is started.
 Chinese boys have great many amuse- ments open to them. They play mar
 with the foot instead of the fingers. They play game like battledora and shuttlecock, only the sole of the foot takes the place of the battledore. It is wonderful what skill they acquire in the game and the length of time they will
 keep the little tuft of feathers in the air, never allowing 1t once to touch the ground.
 Kite-fying Is universal in China, though that is rather 0 mans amusement there. But the range of toys for children is al- | most endless in It's variety, and while they are ruder and far cheaper than the elaborate clockwork contrivances with
 us. they serve the purpose equally we'll. But boy life in China Is not all made up | of play. His preparation for manhood Is 1 made much the same as with us, and | when he reaches suitable age he Is either sent to school or put to work. Schools are found in all tho cities and | villages, not supported by tax, but by | subscription or tuition fees, and all l Chinese parents who can possibly afford | it send their sons to school. The sons of | the''poorest peasants-poor with a pow | erty of which we know nothing-may | aspire to the highest offices in the state,
 excepting only the imperial throne.
 This Is not mere theory. All the
 offices in the gift of the emperor are filled
 with the sons of common people. The
 pathway to these successes is education.
 Hence every nerve Is strained. every sac
 rifiee is made, to keep the boy at school. IN. Y. World.

Opening of the Hearing Before the
 Railroad Committee.
 The railroad committee gave hear ing yesterday afternoon in the commits sioners' rooms at the capitol, to all parties interested in the petition of tue Consolidated road for an increase of S50,- 0O0, 900 to its capital stock.
 Henry c. Robinson and Lynde Harri son counsel for the road, represented the Hartford and MT Naples of Nerwalk, spoke against the measure. President Clark on account of illness, was unable to be present. House Chairman Brown of the committee, said that Simeon E. Baldwin of New Haven, representing the Housatonic road, would not be present, but would like to be heardon the petition before the hearing was closed.
 Mir Robinson thought that it would cost fully S10,00O,OOO to remove the grade crossings and that the present grade crossing bill was an unfair one. No reasonable man would attack the proposition to permit the road to pay it's debts. The absortion of leased lines will make the stockholders interested in | the Consolidated as owners instead of | tenants.
 MT Goodwin of East Hartford then took the floor. He opposed the granting l of the petition in its present shape. Mir Robinson says the stock will not be l watered, but what is there to prevent the Consolidated road frem watering 1 its stock if the management wants to. In 1857 an amendment was made to the charter of the New York, New Haven & | Hartford authorizing it to increase its capital stock. It was watered at that time to large extent. The charter provided that the stock should not be watered. but it was all the same. He knew that the officers of the com pany concealed and covered up the profits of the company, which were much larger than they appeared. He was in favor of double tracking the road, but he wanted it done in an honorable | way.
 | MT Naples replied to the much-boast- ed statement of the Consolidated road that it had voluntarily reduced the fare on its line to 3 cents per mile. The statement was misleading. It was true that on some parts of it's road it had made this reduction, but he believed be- tween New York and Springfield the rate was only this amount. Between many other places the rate was from 5 to cents per mile.
 An adjournment was taken at o'clock until ? o'clock this afternoon.

CITY DOG FIGHTERS TAKEN IN.

A Crowd of Sharp New York Sports Fooled by Connecticut Tanks. Here is a spicy account of the recent fake dog fight, from the New York Evening News:
 About 75 leg-weary, disgusted, mud l bespattered sports returned last evening | to this city from Waterbury, Conn, | where, in pursuance to articles of agree l ment drawn up six weeks ago, they went Saturday evening te tightt he 25- pound bull terrior Sport against Jersey, a crack dog supposed to hail from Wa 1 terbury.
 The 75 sports were badly taken in by | the Nutmeggers, who took the innocent Gothamites on wild-goose chase over hills, through dales, across swamps, and l finally landed them at Cotton Hollow, I about eight miles from Waterbury. The rendezvous at Cotton Hollow was low down dive, kept by low-down dealer in cast-offs from the most disreputable dens of vice ill this town-poor wretch es of women, whose depravity was to much for even the not easily shocked sports from Gotham.
 l One Harry Eaton kept the place, and, to the surprise of the New Workers, 1t developed that the dive-keeper was like wise the packer of the alleged Water bury dog. Surprise No 1.
 1 Then it turned out that the Waterbury dog was a crack New York dog, fur nished by a crack New York cock and dog fancier. Surprise No ?.
 Then it came about that the Water
 bury crowd would not fight at all Sur, prise No 3.
 The stakes were $500, one half of
 which had been posted as forfeit. The Nutmeggers owned the stakeholder, who wouldn't give the forfeit to the New
 Yorker. That was surprise No 4.
 In fact, the sharp, shrewd, old-time sports from New York were whip sawed, double-crossed and double banked by lot of Connecticut Tanks
