ORIENTAL AFFAIRS.
Interesting News Notes From China
and Japan.

and Japan.
By the steamer Oceanic, (which arrived
last night from the Orient. we have advices
from Hong-Kong to February and from
Yokohama to February H.
Reports of the disastrous effects of the
severe winter in Northern China continued
10 be received. Although the heavy fall Of
snow has been welcomed by the farmer
class, the unusual cold has been fatal to
many of the poorer inhabitants of the cities.
AT Marking many people have been frozen
to death-so many, indeed. that, according
to native paper. the charitable institutions
find that their stocks of ceffins, which are
held in readiness to assist the poor, were
soon exhausted, and the cofin-makers had
to work overtime to meet the demand. 1t
Is further stated that the books kept for
the purpose by TWO charitable institutions
only, out Of over dozen in Marking City,
showed that over $50 infants had been
buried within ten days by these two insti-
tutions alone.
Frank Lenz the bicyclist. writes to a
northern paper from kiukiang, which place
he reached after "a hard pull" on the Goth
ult The bicycle seems 10 have been more
OF nuisance than anything else for a con-
siderable portion of the journey. as he says
he had to hire coolies TO carry il, while he
had Talked 165 miles through ice, snow and
mud.
On January piratieal boat. manned by
twenty Annamites. attacked Chinese jlnk
on voyage from Pakhoi to Haiphoug. The.
junk received the attack with a discharge
of her cannon, and when the pirates at
tempted to board her the crew met them
with rifles aud hatchets, with the result that
not more than eight of the pirates were left
uDinjured when they drew off.
a japanese mRn-of- war has been sent to
Hawaii
Harmony has been restored between the
Japanese Diet and the Ministry.
The weather in Japan is colder than has

Significance of Intermarriages.

The American nation exhibits in its
heterogeneous character the results of this
divinely directed law. without the opera
tions of which all other means toward the
development Of a common impulse of patri.
otism would be hndered and crippled,
writes John Lambert Payne in an article on
The Secret Of Happy Marriages" in the
March Ladies Home Journal. An appeal
to statistical facts is here opportune. By
reference to the census returns of 1851
those for 1891 being unfinis hed-it will be
seen that there were then living in the
United States 5T3. 434 persons having native
fathers and foreign mothers, and 1881, GA
who had native mothers aud foreign faith
ers. These figures, while clearly establish
ing the fact had just indicated. also show
the nature of the intermarriages which had
taken place up to that time. It was a sig
nihcant thing that the affipitieS formed be-
tween foreign men and native women were
considerably more numerous than those
between native men and foreign women.

DEADENlNG PAIN.
An Important Discovery Which,. Gas
Been Made Recently.
st Louis Republic.

ST Louis Republic.
A discovery in the domain of anestnetics
is being good deal talked about in medi-
cal circles In Vienna, which, if 1t bear the
severe tests which it is proposed to apply to
it, will prove an inestimabe boon to suffer-
ing humanity. Neither of the two agencies
heretofore employed by surgeons 10 deaden
or minimize physical pain during serious
operations - chlorOfOrm and cocaine is
wholly free from danger. Chlorofnrm
cannot be administered to persons suffer-
ing from heart disease, poverty OF blood,
ETC., and cocaine infections under the
skin have more than once had exceed
ingIy deleterious effects. The new
discovery, which is credited to DIR. K. l..
Schleich, determines the fact that absolute
local immunity from pain even during p1o.
tracted operations can be Obtained without
reSortng TO general parcosis of the patient,
so that sufferer may remain perfectly
conscious during the amputation of his
hand or foot without undergoing the tor
lures usually associated with such opera
tions. or exposing himself to the danger of
sylc0De ever present in the operating r. om
1t appears that sub-cutaneous iniectiaus of
a solution oil sugar or salt, and even of
simple cold distilled water. will produce
exactly the same local anesthetic effects as
cocaine.
The explanation of the phenomenon is
simple: Local insensibillty to pain is
caused in the case of cocaine by purely
chemical changes; whlo cold water acts
mechanically by means of high pressure
and low temperature. Under the influence
of the high pressure and sudden lowering
Of temperature. the blood and lymph are
driven from the region operated upon to
places where the pressure is less. The
tissue is thus deprived Of Its supply of blood,
and temporary paralysis of the nerves re-
suits. 1t is stated on the authority of one
Of the first physicians in EuroDe that the
importance of this discovery is all the more
undoubted seeing that If, in given case,
cold water alone should fail to produce the
needful degree of insen sibllity, a weak and
absolutely harmless solution of cocaine
would prove certainly efficaciOus.

CASTIGLIONE's SAD DAYS.
Moving All Her Belongings in a
Haudrarf
Paris Cor. London Truth.


Paris Cor. London Truth
The Comtesse de Castigione, on the fall
of the French empire. sought hermitage in
the very heart of Paris. in the Place Ven
dome. She, like Luna, only went abroad
at night. Fortune had forsaken her. but
her beauty not entirely. All her life she
was proud, eccentric being. On finding
that the world had rolled from her she
grew misanthropic, and came. like Dau-
mier's private soldier, to the conclusion,
''que tout ce qu'il a de meilleur chez
Phomme c'est le CHEN" The sole COM
panion of her nocturnal walks was for
years shaggy shepherds dog. 1t died in
the course of nature and was succeeded by
frowzy poodle of the breed which blind
men best like.
The lease of her habitation in the Place
Vendome expiring, the landlord gave her
notice to quit last month. A little more
time was given for her fitting. which was
performed on handcart, the handsome
furniture which remained to her after her
star waned having been sold pecemeal.
She had only the merest wreckage to re-
move.
The Countess welded in superlative de-
gree the scepter of beauty at the court of
the Tuileries. She appeared there as an
Italian patriotess, and was reputed to have
been sent on a parallel mission to that
which the gallant Commander Nigra frl-
hlled. 1t was his business, as writer OF
madrigals and otherwise, to get round the
Empress and her ladies. as it was hers to
win influence with the Emperor and those
gentlemen who might have his ear and be
expected to hold it. 1t was rather remark
able that she singled out DR.. Evans as the
person next to his Imperial Majesty who
was best worth gaining. l believe that his
friendship was not OF the purely fair
weather character.

A QUEER LANGUAGE.
Scarcity of English Words of COM
mon Gender.

The New Peterson.
There really seems TO be no hope for
words which we class as common gender,
so that we shall perhaps forever hear our
servants refer to their "lady friend" or
their gentleman cousin" Nor can we de-
sire such a complete differentiation that
would compel us to be strictly logical in
giving the feminine of "Michigander," or
constrain us to follow an example already set
in reference TO a wOman's convention as
moving In the even soprano of their
ways" This latter might be improve d
upon by saying meZZO-sopran0 of her way,
But, Joking aside. how are we 10 refer to
the presiding officer OF an assembly of
women? VIII Mrs. President do? Or shall
we, In our rules OF parliamentary prac-
tice, suggest The Chair? Perhaps this
would answer. But suppose the chair ap-
points a committee, and in announcing the
members desires that Mrs. A. should pre-
side at the deliberatiOn of this committee.
how shall she indicate it? Shall she say II
appoint Mrs. A. chairman" or chairwoman?
This latter bears to close a resemblance to
charwoman to be popular. and in the broad
pronunciation Of some, might be mistak en-
for IT, Would IL do to say charmistress?
III not. what shall we advise? Again, we
are likely soon to see women on our juries,
and tits more than probable that one of them
would be selected to render the verdict. In
such an event confusion might result, mas
much as our statutes prescribe the func-
tions of the foreman. Shall these States, as
soon as they admit women on the jury, re-
wise their statutes in this regard? Ii SO.
forewomsn? foreman or fOreniistress? or
what?

An Improved FIange.
New York Sun.

The improved form of flange devised some
time cince for copper pi pes, and which re-
ceived commendation as realizing in It's
application most useful purpose. is being
adopted by some OF the principal Steamship
companies. The object of this simple and
ingenious device is to strengthen the pine in
its weakest part. namely, the line Of braz-
the hange with brackets the latter grinning
the pipe firmly and taking up the cross
vibrations and cross strains. which of course
would otherwise come on the brazing. The
junction between the safety flange and the
pipe Is not. asfusual, at right angles to the
