fore feel it a duty to give them as good a
time as possible. Offerings of food and
drink are therefore prepared, and with
them an elaborate ritual to soothe the self
love of said ancestors. And here is the
local reporters account of the way they
did it: about o'clock in the afternoon
a procession entered the door between the
huge statues. Half dozen small boys in
blue silk shoms represented prominent
highlander families The committees from
the society were grown men in long robes
of blue and garnet brocaded satin. The
priest came last in red gown bordered
with gold embroidery.
within the sanctuary the altar was
piled high with cakes, fruit and vegetables
Candles and incense burned before the
images. The priest pounded on bronze
gong, went through great many motions
and intoned from book, the musicians
keeping time with his voice and gong prob
ably as long as three hours without
pause. The children squatted onsthe floor
behind the priest, while the committees
ranged themselves on benches along the
sides of the room. The outer court was
crowded with Chinese, all smoking and all
with their hats on, with here and there
curious white man.
"The din and powwow continued with
scarcely an interval until midnight, when
the evil spirits were supposed to be fright
ened OF and the wandering ghosts satisfied.
AS q conclusion to the ceremonies all the
images and finery used were burned"

Captain A. g. Weissert, the new COM

in Canton, o., and at the age of five was
taken by his parents to Wisconsin. He
is a graduate of the Racine high school
and of the University of Michigan,
though his educational career was cut in
two by the war, and is now a leading
lawyer of Milwaukee. He volunteered
at the beginning of the war and was
rejected on account Of his youth; tried
1t three more times and was rejected
each time for the same reason, but in
September, 1861, having completed his
eighteenth year, he secured place in

He participated in forty-two battles
and skirmishes, and was seriously

Sicilian brigands, who make with the
Neapolitan fine romantic figures in italian
opera, have survived thirty years i'm
proved rule in the southern provinces Of
the kingdom of Italy. It requires more
than one generation to reclaim rustic
population addicted to lawless and violent
deeds. which under the reign of King Bomba
and preceding Bourbons were viewed with
more liberation than the crime of patriot
ism and liberal political sentiment for
then while Baron Poerio, Professors Set
tembrini and Spaventa and fifty other good
citizens languished in chains in the dun
geons of Ischia and Procida ferocious free
booters and man slayers went scot free.
The latest victim of Sicilian banditti near
Catania, is Baron Antonino Spitalieri,
country gentleman, who was riding home
with four servants from the house Of
Baroness Ciancio, where he had been stay
ing on neighborly visit. Six mounted
brigands with magazine rifles attacked the
party, bound them and carried them off,
gathered more force to the gang and then
stormed and plundered the baron's villa,
where his wife and son, a mere boy, showed
greatcourage and firmness. The ruffians
ate and drank of the. best in their captive's
house, with champagne and cigars, got a
large sum of money, above $4,000, and
finally released the baron, kissing him and
his son with exuberant affection when they

TREATING THE GHOSTS.

chinese Highbinders Honor the Shades
of Their Ancestors.
1t is an odd fact that though the Chinese
have beer numerous in California for forty
years or so there is the same curiosity
about their religion and rather more igno-
rance than at the start. The best explana-
tion offered is that the Chinese themselves
do not exactly know what their faith now
is They are in transition state, and
many ceremonies once religious are now
merely social. This is the case even among
Christians.
OF the ceremonies which once had deep
religious significance, but have recently
become the mere ritual of the tribes or or
ders, one of the most interesting is that OF
providing for ghost ancestors AS an illus
tration, let us take the last celebration of
the Ping Kung Tong, powerful high
binder society, as described in the San
Francisco Chronicle. The Ping Kung
Tong, says The Chronicle, took the old
store at 740 jackson street as temple and
fitted it up. The interior displayed all the
gaudy splendor of embroidery and gliding,
grotesque figures and paper flowers, bronze
vessels and silken draperies, as seen in the
josshouses generally. At the entrance on
the pavement stood two giant doorkeepers
to frighten away the evil spirits. These
great images were attired in robes heavy
With gold and brilliant in decoration. At
the feet of one crouched a tiger and at the
feet of the other a dragon. Gay fans, Ian
terms and paper streamers added to the
startling effect.
1t is not easy to describe in English suit
ed to all latitudes the ceremonies which
followed, and it is far more difficult to
specify their significance. Suffice it to say
that the Chinese believe that their ances-
tors, who are condemned to that inter-
mediate state we call hades, are allowed
once year to leave it and wander around
in search of such comfort as their earthly
relatives can supply. Said relatives there
