some one derisively from the rear Of the

"Arrah, now, y galootp replied Mike
quickly, your ghost wouldn't have need

duced by this sally, he resumed:

cried, but let's give three cheers for

'The crowd responded again and

him holding on tight to his dammit and

but have an idea that, as Tompy knew
where to look for it, he disinterred it
that very night.
"Well, Mike sailed from Cape Town
in the next ship that left, but whether
he ever reached home and Nora with
his diamond, or not, don't know, for

quickly with the back of his hand.

the man in the ulster, springing up and
seizing his fellow travellers han.l "Ye

The tall man could not believe it at
first; but when the truth dawned upon
him he fell to wringing his old friends
hand, till feared he would pull the arm
off. The scene was fast becoming en-

up, and the guard throwing open the
door of the compartment and thrusting
his head in, yelled: Harrington station,

That was my getting off place, so seiz-

CHINESE LITERATURE.
Great Work Done by the mission
aries as Scholars.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-The work of
missionaries outside of their strictly re-
igious field has not received the atten.
ton it deserves. To them we are in
debted for much valuable knowledge of
wild countries, and still more for re-
ports on the religion, habits and philoso-
ply of other races. Especially is this
true of China, for there is so little gen.
eral interest in such matters that but for
the missionaries we should have remain
ed much longer in ignorance of Chinese
philosophy.
The only foreigners making any effort
to acquire the Chinese language are the
missionaries, and it is due to such men
as Williams and Legge that the doctrines
of Confucius and the teachings of Budd-
hism have been exhumed from their
deep oblivion and set up in readable Ian
guage. 1t is here, more than in any
thing else, that the work of these men is
manifest. Through years of ceaseless
toll of DIR. Legge, the metaphysical and
ethical writings of Mencius have been
placed alongside of Bacon and Plato and
Moses.
The literature of Buddhism likewise
shows deep thought and ascetic piety,
and has marked the founders and ex-
ponents of that ancient religion. Gems
of literature, poetry and proverbs have
been brought to light by the researches
of Christian scholars.
While the general influence of Euro
pean life has not tended to increase the
respect of the Chinese for our alleged
superior civilization and morality, yet it
is true that the literary research of mis-
sionaries has done much toward bring
ing about better understanding be-
tween the two races, by giving to each,
in their own language, the ideas and
purposes of the other.
With increased shipping facilities and
a consequent increasing commerce in
China, and with the demoralizing and
enervating effects of opium upon her
people removed, there is yet hope for a
brighter future for that queer old coun-
try.

Bu'ne.Jones's Gre d test Work.

According to the London correspond
ent of The Liverpool Post, Mr.. Burne-
Jones is nearly approaching the compile
ton Of the greatest work of his life. It
is commission he undertook many
years ago for Mr.. Agnew, and upon
which he has bestowed an infinitude of
loving care. The subject is found in the
old legend of the Briary Rose, which
Tennyson put into verse nearly sixty
years ago.
Every one knows the story as told
in the dainty verse Of ''The Day Dream"
with its pictures of the sleeping palace,
the sleeping beauty, the arrival of the
fairy prince with "joyful eyes, and
lighter footed than the fox" how he
broke the charm that Tapped his love in
sleep and how:
Over the hills and far away
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
And deep into the dying day
The happy princess followed him.
Mr. Burne-Jones tells the story in his
own way in four pictures of colossal pro-
portion and infinite beauty. The work
is so far forward that there is hope of its
being exhibited in Bond street next year.

a French electrician has devised a new
telegraphic system founded on the com
bination of mechanical stenography
with telegraphy. This system can be
applied inditferently to any steno-
grapLS machine worked by a key
board. As soon as spoken the words
are, so to say, decomposed By the ear
of the operator at the keyboard.
The syllables are printed in small
distinct lines on tape of paper, and

operator can print 200 words minute

THE DIFFERENCE ON OUR SIDE.

Our county superintendency seems
to remain in about the same condi-
tion-the people asking for an expla-
nation, the three members OF the
county commissioners court doggedly
remaining silent. But yesterday it is
reported there was CLEAN of Joy and
comfort in their eyes. 1t had been
announced that the commissioners
court of Bexar county had suddenly
and summary abolished its superin-
tendent, and our court were happy
in the company they had found. But
what does that action in Bexar county
mean? 1t seems it was as sudden
and unannounced as was the
backward step here. But there
is another most important
matter to be considered. Travis
county has out side of Austin 6O94
school children, Bexar county has out
side of San Antonio only 1882 school
children. In other words with less
area Travis county has nearly three
times as many school children. That
is, superintendent in Bexar county
would be compelled to travel futher
and then not visit a third as many
schools as he would in Travis county.
The action then of BeXar county's
commissioners court cannot be used
to bolster up what our commissioners
have done. And right here the
STATESMAN must insist that no eX-
traneous conditions or circumstances
must be allowed to be counted against
a system by the best experience
and ability pronounced good and eff
ticient. 1t has proven of finished
benefit in other counties of the State
where thoroughly tried and tested,
and it will prove of equal advantage
here. Logic and common sense, sound
judgment and history stand out boldly
in its favor. and it can not be downed
by the ipse dixit of three men that
can not but confess that at best they
are poorly equipped with experience in
public school matters.

THE San Antonio Express never
uttered broad principle that is truer
than this, and it is applicable not
only to Bexar but in every county in
the State, notably Travis, where such
work of improvement is to be carried
on. The Express says: "The most
important thing the people of this
county have to look after in connec-
ton with the coming election is to
see to it that no political convention
or combination that attempts to foist
an incompetent county judge upon
the people, shall succeed. OF all the
offices this comes closer to the mate
rial interests OF the people-the in
cumbent has greatest power for good
or evil, and no one but competent,
and in every way worthy, man should
