ghe Novel Way in Which They Receive
Their Pay.
The Chinese soldier receives his pay once
a month only. and Chinese months, it may
be remembered, are much larger than those
we are accustomed to reckon by. On the
eve of the pay day the captain of the COM
pany, together with his sergeant-major,
goes and receives the amount of money re-
quisite to pay his company from his next
superior officer.
This ia not paid to him in jingling coins.
but in pure silver. which, however. has been
broken into somewhat irregular pieces.
The whole of the night preceding pay day
IL occupied in weighing out for each man
the required quantity of silver. and this
occupation, as may be imagined. is q very
tedious one, and only successfully accom-
plished by infinite care, for here a piece the
size of pins mead has to DO clipped off.
End there u piece of larger dimensions has
50 be added to make up weight, and any
deviation oPe way or the other means the
loss of perhaps a days pay or more to some
poor defender of the celestial empire.
When the process of melting out Is accom-
plished the silver is carefully wrapped in
paper, Upon which ia written the name OF
the intended recipient. On the following
afternoon the company is mustered. and tha
serQeant-major divides the money, com.
mencine with the first man in the COMPANY
and going on to the last. When the divi-
sion is concluded the question ia asked in
stentorian tones: Has any one else a
claim2" and the customary mo- having
been promptly given, the men are then dis
missed.
Each one now repairs to the nearest
t.adeSnan's shop. where he exchanges his
silver. For one tael he receives 1000 small
coins called cash. perforated in the center

string, and, having received the proper

The private receives three and ons-half

out of which he has to provide himself with

LORD SALISBURYLIKES 1T.

Nobody need look for speedy
declaration of war with England
over the Bering Sea difficulty, for
such result is highly improbable
The matter is pretty likely to be set
tied amicably as soon as Lord Sails
bury gets enough of controversy-of
which, by the way, he is said to be
very fond. G. w. Smalley, the Lon
don correspondent of the New York
Tribune, has something to say con-
corning the delay on Salisbury s part,
as follows:
A subject like Bering sea, says Mr.
Smalley, with it's historical, legal and
diplomatic intricacies, suits him. He
revels in it, and he will go on arguing
with complacency till the last seal in the
remOteSt waters of the Pacific has been
slaughtered by his marauding clients
from Canada, if he is allowed. He will
agree to nothing from which he can
plausibly dissent. His refusal to extend
or to renew the 1nodus vivendii is only his
way of expressing his pleasure in con-
t1nued correspondence with the state de-
partment at Washington"
This being the case, it remains for
the United States government to in
sist on less fooling and a closer at
tention to business by the English
lord in a matter touching this coun-
try's rights in the seal fisheries.

sons desiring to take advantage of
this excellent opportunity should at
tend to it at once and write the state
board at Braintree.
In this connection it may be sug-
gested that if the state of Vermont is
anxious to advertise her attractions.
she might proftably put into the
hands of her board of agriculture a
larger fund for that special purpose,
and not expect her newspapers to pub
lish column after column of advertis-
ing matter with no compensation
therefor. While Vermont journals
should be, and are, all willing to give
considera BILE effort for the good ofthe
ORDER" they are, contrary to the
custom in other states, called upon
altogether too frequently to devote
a large amount of space to free adj
vertising for state boards and state
committees. If the State Board of
Agriculture is expected to boom the
state it should not be crippled for
lack of funds with which to do bust
ness a other business men do.

AFTER T4MMANY.

Rev. DIR. c. II. Parkhurst, pastor
of the Madison Square Presbyterian
church in New York, preached his
second sermon on municipal corrup-
ton last Sunday, and Tammanv was
numerically scored in the presence of
one of the largest audiences that ever
assembled in that fashiona BILE church.
The preacher said Tammany was not
so much political party as it was a
commercial corporation, organized
in the interest of making the most
possible out of its official opportuni-
ty. DIR. Parkhurst's sermon was not
filled with glittering generalities, but
he named 254 saloons opened on
Sunday, and by actual count 243S
people were found in them. In the
same precinct in which his church is
located, a fashionable part of New
York, he found several gambling
houses and thirty disorderlv houses.
DIR. Parkhurst had pages of type
written evidence on his desk to prove
all his statements, and they will be
presented to the proper courts in due
time.
DR.. Parkhurst's arraignment of
Tammany-governed New York was
none too severe, and the statements
he made were all true. He is to be
commended for his fearlessness and
much good will result from his search
ing Investigations of the way crime
is encouraged in New York

Another forward step in the educa-
ton of women has just been made
by the announcement that Yale col
lege will open a postgraduate course
for women, giving them the same
chance to complete their education
that is furnished by the universities
of Oxford and Cambridge in England
and at the European universities.
Yale is the first university in the
United States to take this step by

A WERE VISITATION.

Last weeks blizzard at the West
was severe one, and the worst of
the season. Not only was much
damage done to property, and in the
effects of the storm on business gener-
ally, but there was considerableloss of

NOT EXACTLY HARMONIOUS

There is trouble in the air for Yer
portion of them who have hitherto
assumed the role of boss At a meet
ing of the committee at Montpelier
the other day it was voted to hold
the state convention at Montpelier
on Thursday, May 5. This decision
does not suit a good many democrats
in the southern part of the state,
who aver that it was understood
pretty distinctly at the last conven-
ton that the next one was to be held
at Rutland, and the change to Mont
pelier is looked upon as, indirectly at
least, viola ton Of that understand
ing. The members of the committee
from Chittenden, Rutland and Wind
ham counties refused to sign the call
for the convention at Montpelier
and thereby hangs a little unpleas-
antness, which our dem ocratic friends
will have to arrange before unanimi-

In this week s issue of the Argus
Editor Atkins in a lengthy article ex-

that he is ready to close up his share

he disclaims any attempt or desire
TO assume the character of boss or

All of which confirms the opinion
that when the convention meets in
May, something may "occur''-if the
chairman's opposers carry out half
OF what they threaten.

HERE'S A PRACTICAL HINT.

In view of recent events, in which
the republican newspapers Of Yer
mont and the state republican COM
mittee were very directly concerned.
possibly the latter may find useful
hint in the following paragraph. No
extended comment thereon is neces-
sary:
Col. Albert Clarke of the Boston Home
Market club laments the small circula-
ton of republican newspapers. There is
cause, judging from his standpoint
There appears to be a marked difference
in the views of the two leading parties
on the question of support for their
organs. The democrats support their
home weeklies, which are thereby made
stronger and more influential The
republican managers, on the other hand
let their home publications severely alone
during campaigns and encourage the
large city journals and the production of
so called campaign literature, having
little influence and no encouragement for
legitimate purposes.

PATCH WORK KING.

The agitat ton of the road question
is well kept up, and our exchanges
are putting in a word in favor of a
system of road-making that will be
sonnet thing like permanent, and not
a decided waste Of money. The
Burlington Free Press remarks on
this subject, that 1.-The first step
necessary in Vermont is to stop
throwing money into mudholes, as
is too frequently done at present,
and to make road improvements
that will be permanent. When this
is accomplished it will be time enough
to talk about the expenditure of
large sum and the construction of an
elaborate system OF highways"
Correct enough. The patching up
has been pursued long enough. Keep
talking, for the need of better roads
in this state is question beyond
dispute, and everything that the
newspapers can do to wake up the
people and bring about reform in
this direction will be effort well in
vested. Progress along this line is
as important as much of that pro-
gress of which Hon. Victor l. Spear
had so much to say last week.

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.

Congressman Harter of Ohio, a
democrat prominent in the house,
has recently called on Senator D. B..
Hill to give frankly, and squarely, his
position on the silver question, so
that his fellow-demOcrats may know
Just where to find him. This the
senator has thus far declined to do
probably because he cannot do so
satisfactorily to both sections of his
party.
The Atlanta Constitution, whose
editor is a close political friend of
Hill and an earnest defender of the
latter's claim to the presidency. says
that Hill stands for 1.-The free and
unlimited coinage of silver" In this
connection the Buffalo Courier, also
democratic, declares that Hill could
never carry New York state on any
such platform, which would involve
"a crusade against the millions of
men and the vast interests opposed
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver
Representa- tive Williams of MasSa-
chusetts, another democrat, remarks
that 1.-The party that wins in the
next presidential contest will be
party that favors honest money"
Putting all these things together,
it will be seen that David B. Hill is
located between two fires, the effect of
which he is likely to feel before the
voters of the country are through
with him.
