A Chinese Courtship.

In his own fiowery kingdom the heather
Chinese who desires to become a benedict
does not dream of approaching his de
sired bride until he has heard what hel
father has to say, says the New Y DIRK Re
corder. The interview with papa on such
occasions is largely occupied by a pro
longed haggle over the amount the sutton
is to give until the bargain is adjusted
to mutual satisfaction.
Then the sutton, highly perfumed with
asafoetida, which IS the smart scent
among Chinese, as it was among the
Carthag1nians, calls on the brides mother,
and is introduced to the bride, whom il
must be understood he has not yet seen.
The visit consists largely of bowing.
scraping, fourishing the hands, cringing
in every posture, every kind of ceremon-
ial and very little conversation.
The lover does not speak one word to
his intended and seldom chances toward
her. Usually singing and dancing girls
come in and furnishs diversion. . He re-
mains in her presence for two hours OF
longer, during the whole of which time
he does not get a moment alone with his
intended, or even fair look at her face
for it is not etiquette for him to scrutin-
lie her too closely. When he has gone
he sends a present. @
It is good omen if he sends a gift Of
eggshells painted every kind Of color.
All his visits are conducted on the
same. plan. He does not get a direct and
full view Of her face until they have
"gone away" that IS, until she has been
brought in her palanquin to his house.
There is some comp ensation in the fact
that if he does not like her appearance
he can send her back home. But this
would cause such a scandal and be such
an insult to the family that, as q rule,
the question Of looks is thoroug hly in
quired into by go betWeens Of the fair
sex before any serious formal step IS taxi
en- in the matter.

BURNED HIM IN EFFIGY.
Ohio Veterans Show Their Disgust for
Hoke Smith. f.
Outbreak Caused by the Retirement OF an
Aged Pensioner,

Hokc Smith, Secretary of the interior
was burned in eh1gy Saturday night at
Rome, Ohio, in Adams county. The
burning of the figure was attended by the
widest enthusiasm and themost demon
strotjve excoriation Of the hated Cabinet
minister. -
The occasion for this, demonstration
was the dropping from the pensionrolls
of the name of j. L. Reed, an old SOL
der whose record was exceptional, and
whose entirely helpless condition made
his case u pathetic one. Reed was a
member of the Eleventh Illinois cavalry,
the regiment which Colonel Robert G..
Ingersoll commanded. He is now 35 yrs.
of age and totally without means of sup
port, his pension being the only thing
between him and absolute starvation.
The discontinuance of the pension has
made raving maniac of him. 1t was at
first intended by the old soldiers to burn
the President as companion with Hoke
but subsequently better council prevail
ed and this was abandoned.
The feeling bordered on the riotous
and all efforts to head off the leaders IN
the prosecutions of their plans were met
with derision and threats Of violence
should there be any interference. This
is only the first outburst of most in
tense feeling of hate entertained by a
majority of the soldiers of Scioto
and the adjoining counties Of Pike and
Adams toward the promulgator of the
recent pension ruling, which has tempo
rarily. at least, forced SO many soldiers OFT
the rolls and cast IL shadow of doubt up
on the integrity of all pensioners receiv-
ing pensions under the new law.
