STREETS OF PEKIN.

Sights and Scenes in the Great Capital.
 The town is always most animated. At certain hours of the day the streets are as crowded with ot-passengers
 riders on horseback, and carriages as those of London or of Paris. There is plenty to interest or amuse the specta- tor: Tartar carts and Chinese chaises
 blue or green sedan-chairs, the color varying according to the rank and i'm portance of the owner; grooms of the palace in yellow livery, couriers of the emperor in yellow and black uniforms
 long strings of camels belonging tc MOngOl caravans, condemned prisoners wearing or carrying their cGngues, etc.. etc.; and on either side of the carriage way, under shelters or in the open air, musicians and jugglers, mountebauks and necromancers, public scribes, sec ond-hand booksellers, old-clothesmen, furniture brokers, cobblers and harness makers, barbers and chiropodists, cooks and pastry cooks, sellers of fruit and tea merchants; in a word, every variety of itinerant dealer, resulting in an infinite variety of bright and picturesque scenes Or wedding procession marches down the street, with it's band, it's lanterns, it's banners, it's parasols the attendant servants in gala costumes, and the bride carried be- heath a red canopy. Or perhaps funeral eortege of apparently endless length, with its fiute-players and gong | beaters, it's incense burners, it's Bud | dhist priests chanting litanies, it's mourners making grimaces and howl | ing, succeeded by long string of vehi- cles laden with all the things supposed
 to be necessary to the defunct in the | life beyond the tomb; behind which
 come the relations and friends of the deceased, clad in white hair-cloth and, | last of all, borne on the shoulders of six
 teen, twenty or thirty hired assistants,
 the huge catafal4ue itself, loaded with l gilded sculpture and hung with beauti- 1 fully embroidered blue silk hangings. The filth of the streets is yet another
 element of the picturesque. No descrip-
 tion could possibly give an idea of it.
 Dust two feet deep, or lakes of mud, and at every turn heaps of refuse, for
 which half-nal1ed btggars are fighting
 with mungy dogs; every conceivable
 smell, and every conceivable variety of
 rubbish. no police anl no drainage!--

CONDITION OF THE ARMY.
Generals Brooke and Merritt Report Dis
 cipline Good in Their Commands.

Generals Brooke and Merritt Report Dis
 cipline Good in Their Commands.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-General Brooke, commanding the Department of the Platte, has submitted his annual report to the War Department. The report says that the discipline of the troops has been good during tue year, and the instructions in the new drill regulations, target prac- tice and signaling have progressed satis- factorily at the posts
 The report shows an increase of court martials over those of last year, due to the efforts of officers to maintain disci- pline and also in a measure to the de- crease in the number of old soldiers in the various regiments.
 Gen. Brooke says this increase may be expected to continue until commanding officers oi troops shall be upheld in minor disciplinary measures. The report shows that the post exchanges have passed be- yond the experimental stage and may now be considered a successful and valu- able institution.
 Gen. Merritt, commanding the Depart ment of the Dakotas, in his annual re- port to the War Department, states that the troops in his department are in an excellent state of discipline and well in structed. There is much complaint among line officers, however, because of a lack of good material for non-commis stoned officers.
 Many of the best men leave the army, the report says, after a short ser vice un- der recent regulations.
 Gen Merritt renews his recommenda- tion of last year, that the pay of these men should be increased, as matter of justice. for the work required, and it now looks as if it were even more neces- sary, the General continues, to keep up the tone of the army. Indian recruiting does not progress favorably so far as the foot companies are concerned.

The Hustlers of the Valley.

The Hustlers ot the NalIey'
 I. Many moons have passed away Since first we met each other; found the lady of my choice Out shopping with her mother. Our friendship grew and one bright night I tried my heart to rally; Twas passing by that famous store, 'The hustlers of the Valley
 II. The thought had often crossed our minds, That we should be united; The cry thought, indeed 'tis true, Made both our hearts delighted. But thought and practice are two things That do not always tally, And yet we kept our minds upon The Hustlers of the Valley"
 III. We waited-trIed to save the cash, But single that's a trick; Sunday nights would come and go, The cash kept going quick At last we bOted,-boldly struck A bee line through an alley Ana landed in that famous stare, The Hustlers of the Valley
 ". We first examined all the stock On their spacious floors; The busy clerks were kind, polite. So different from other stores. The stock was all the heart could ask, With prices suiting Tom or Sally; And soon we found ourselves at home, With "The Hustlers of the Valley"
 V. Che year has passed. and now we say To friends on every hand; Don't hesitate, but go at once, To South Main clear to Grand. Of all the stocks that we could find, There's none with them could tally; Now don'C forget, but keep in mind, ''The Hustlers of the Valley"
