From tho Spectator goth Septsmbor.)

The Standard correspondent at St. Peters
burg, in q telegram published on Tuesday,
gives some curious information as to the
pressure of the Chinese upon nelghbourlng
States. Their rapid colonisation of the
Amur and of South Ussuria is beginning to
cause anxiety to the Russian Government.
While the Russians have entirely failed to
plant their own people on the lands OF these
Provinces, the irrepressible Chinaman is pour
ing over the frontier and making himself. a
new home. There is talk Of imposing a
polltax on the. immigrants, or OF finding
some other means of checking their advance
but it is difficult to see how this is to be
accomplished. It is all very well to keep
the Chinese from landing at San Francisco
or Sydney, but quite another matter to pre-,
vent them oozing across the u~nsurveyed and
unwatchable boundary-line of Russia's south
eastern POSSESSIONS. Assuredly we ought to
be thankful that we have 80 perfect q butter
State as Tibet between China and India.
and that even in Burmah there is a belt OF
hill-tribes to the north which hides the at
fractions Of our new province. Once give
the Chinese the nance to swarm INTO India,
and we should nave the difficulty OF govern
Q multiplied q hundredfold. It was the
knowledge Of this fact that made Lord DIAL
housie determine never to meddle with Up

Breaking Into Safes.

The favorite method of modern burg
lars is absolute breaking of safe.
This is done by the application of pow
erful levers. The burglars have
learned the lesson of Archmedes, who
said that if he could only find place
to rest his lever he would move the
world. The safe itself supplies to the
skillful burglar the most sold fu,crum,
and the ombinatiop or sectional sim
my" tool whose power is almost un-
limited. The different sections of this
''jimmy" are adjustable, so that burg
lar may carry in his pocket enough
sections to make lever twenty feet
long if need be. Such tool inserted
in crack or hole made for tine pur-
pose, or fissure in the framework of a
safe, will tear the stoutest iron as easily
as woman tears a strip of cloth. -

The Dnke's EYeglass.

The Grand Duke Constantine, the
most talented and clever member of the
imperial family of Romanoff, was won't
to disconcert prosy bores who were
presented to him for the first tlme His
single eyeglass hung from his neck by
an elastic cord, and as soon as ever his
interlocutor had embarked on some
long winded speech, he would quietly
give the elastic an imperceptible twitch,
which had the effect of sending the
eyeglass rebounding up to his eye,
where it remained fixed without any
appare ent effors or action on his part.
He would then gaze fixedly through the
eyeglass at the unfortunate speaker,
just as though nothing had happened.
The effect of this little manmuvre was
generally to disconcsrt complet tely the
new presentee, whose utterances were
cut short, not only by the manner in
which the mon ocle appeared to fly up
to the Grand Dukes eye of its own ac-
cord, but also by the fact that his i'm
rsral highness seemed totally unmovcd
sreby.

The Chinese Minister at washington.

The present Chinese Minister is very
exclusive in his habits. His prede-
cessor was one of the most agreeable
and popular men in society, and was
always to be seen wherever anything
interesting was going on, and all the
attaches of the legation also took an
active part in the gayeties of Wash
ington. The present minister, Mr..
Hen, not only does not propose to in
dulge in social festivities himself, but
has prohibited the attaches of the le-
cation from doing SO, which deprives
Washington society of soma of its most
attractive ornaments Mr.. Hen is the
first Chinese minister to the United
States to bring his wife with him, but
he might as we'll have left her at homo
so far as the outside world is concerned,
for she, it is understood, will remain a
recluse.
A prominent gentleman and lady in
this city, writes a Washington corre-
spondent of the Chicago N5aos, who
lived some time in China and have been
very intimate at the Legation ever since
it was established here, called upon the
Minister and his wife the other after
noon, having first given notice of their
in ~ y Tha I'M.
ceived them very cordially in the parlor
upon their arrival and sent q servant for
his wife, who came down wearing q
coronet Of gold and diamonds. She is
little woman, not bigger than child
of ten years, and her feet are so small
that she could scarcely walk across the
room. She chatted pleasantly, how
ever, through an interpreter, and as the
caller was the first American lady she
had ever come in contact with she had
a great many curious questions to ask
about the manners and customs of
women in this country.
a lew days later the call was returned
with great ceremony, and then followed
an invitation to dinner. The Minister
accepted for himself, but sent his wife's
regrets, with an explanation that, as
she had never dined except in the Chi
ncsc fashion, she desired to be excused.
She was informed that there would be
no other guests, but held to her refusal,
and sent as peace offering hand
somely carved chest filled with the
richest silks, which will form portion
of the trousseau of the young lady of
tho family, who is soon to be married.
The Minister came to the dinner, but
not being used to the knives and forks
at the table found much difficulty in
eating. About all the poor man could
get to his mouth was bread and olives.
