is said to be able to put 1850, 600
men In the field, force that seems
SO large that any one might be ex-
cused for entertaining a profound re-
spect for the military strength OF the
empire Such force is not large
when compared with the area of the
country nor with the population, for
it should not be forgotten that the
Chinese empire Is almost as large as
the whole OF North America, and
that more people speak the Chinese
language than any other one tongue
on the globe. But in absolute num-
bers the Chinese army Is strong, and
we're its efficiency only eqnal TO its
numbers the plains of Central Europe
might once more behold the spectacle
of Monaghan cavalry overrunning the
fairest regions OF Christendom. If
this sight is ever witnessed however,
it will only be after some centuries
OF drilling have given the Celestials
an idea of military tactics, and the
same period of good food and proper
exercise has hardened and developed
their muscular systems to enable
them to stand the fatigue OF long
marches and the lahors Of the battle
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1894-09-28

The artillery, however, constitute an
entirely distinct branch of the service,
and by their inability to hit any
thing are wellspring OF JOY to the
enemy. For Of all cannon that were
ever invented the Chinese cannon are
the most worthless, and of all gun
ners the Celestial artillerymen are
the worst. Their native-made guns
are the poorest apology for artillery
that ever came from foundry. One
English officer tells Of gun he saw
that had been cracked in firing, and
was nevertheless continued in the
service By being patched up with
strips of bamboo and tied with
strings The guns have no sights,

Back Number Warriors.

The signal defeats the Chinese
navy has encountered in its engage
ments with the japanese ships show
that the Chinese have learned little
more of the art Of using steam ves-
sells Of war than they knew In 1860.
In that year, during the war with
the British, small gunboat grounded
In a river, was abandoned by the
crew and captured by the Celestials.
Noticing the superior speed OF the
gunbtat over their own tub-like
junks, they determined to use the
vessel, so foated her of the bar,
lighted the fire in her furnaces, pro-
duced the proper amount OF smoke
from the funnel, but was greatly sur
prised that she did not move, and
conceiving that the foreign devils
must have bewitched her, sent for
conjurers to remove the spell. All
their efforts were, however, in vain,
they finally concluded that the boat
needed a couple Of eyes painted, one
on each side Of the bow, to enable her
to see her way. Before this could be
attended 30, the boat was recaptured
by the foreigners and further expert
ment indefinitely postponed.
The efforts of the Celestials to
utilize Western methods Of army dis
cipline and Western arms in the
land service seem to have been greet
ed with somewhat more success than
this attempt to press a steamer into
the employment Of the Flowery King
dom, but with all the improvements
that necessity has forced upon the
Chinese military authorities, the
army remains, for the most part, in
a condition that renders it a scoff
and byword to the troops Of any
civilized nation. Nominally, on
paper, it is an imposing force. Ac-
cording to the Chinese official reports
1t comprises all the arms Of the SER
vice in overwhelming numbers.
There are the troops Of the Eight
Banners, including Manchus, Mon
gols and the Chinese, or rather the

Street Life in Canton.

The streets of Canton are divided
into sections Of few blocks each: and
each section is shut off from all Others
by heavy gates, that are closed at 8
o'clock in the evening. The pepulace
is 80 turbulent that for many centuries
the authorities have made it a praetice
to hold all the people of any ssction
responsible for any riot or tunult in
that section. The result is that people
have got in the habit OF regulating
affairs in their section without any
reference to the powers that be. The
electrician of the Canton plant had oc-
casion to see the effect of this in an
instance whore store wanted lights,
but the wires could not be run. because
one man objected to having hoe cut
in his house for securing pole. The
man wanting lights informed his
neighbors, and delegation waited on
the individual, and soon induced him
to withdraw his objection.

the emergency is past, and so have
neither time nor opportunity for &C
quring knowledge of drill or Of
military tactics. Little effort is made
at uniformity, either in dress or arms,
and the men composing the militia
force are in reality a mob that could
not stand moment before even a
single regiment Of European soldiers.
Unframed, undrilled, their swords,
spears, matchlocks, and bows hang
rusting on the walls Of the barracks,
save on those occasions when a dress
parade is commanded. Even then

field. 1t has never yet happened in
the history Of the world that ma
ton Of meat eaters was conquered by
an army Of grain feeders, and until
the Chinese alter their diet Europe
has nothing to fear from them.
Nor need the japanese be greatly
alarmed at the prospect before them
Of a horde Of Chinese being poured
into Corea from the plains OF China,
for the Chinese idea Of military drill
and tactics is Of the most primitive
description. Only ten years have
elapsed since the Governor Of Shan
tung reported the results Of grand
review and declared "the perform
ances Of the soldiery were found
worthy Of high commentator, as
well in shield and spear practice as
in posturing, tight-rope dancing and
other military exploits A little
later the Director General Of the
Yellow River forts also had review,
and in his report to the court stated
that "the performances Of the SOL
diery in evolutions, spear, shield and
archery practice, and in turning war
like somersaults, was Of the most sat
isfactory description. AS late as
1884 a Governor Of province on the
Yank-tse- Kiang tested his troops in
shouting, and affirmed that their
performance was past all criticism, I"
while "in gong-beating and trumpet
blowing" he never had heard their
equals. They also ran very swift
ly."
While the last named military ac-
complishment may be greeted with a
smile by those unfamiliar with c.
lestial tactics its usefulness, particu-
larly to troops whose highest merit
on the field Of battle is an ability to
beat the gong, to shout, TO turn
somersaults and dance the tight rope,
cannot be questioned, and the astute-
ness Of its Chinese officers in training
their men to speed is as deserving of
compliment as the trumpet blowing
Of the soldiers themselves. But the
Chinese see nothing absurd in such
performances, for one Of their great

saults, all of which are inexpressibly
terrifying to outside barbarians.
The Chinese army has been lately
remodeled, that is, an attempt has
been made to remodel it, though how
far this has been successful is an open
question. A number OF European
officers were appointed to teach the
tactics employed in the armies Of
more civilized states, and some de-
gree of efficiency has, it is said, been
attained In the use Of civilized
weapons. How far this statement is
true will doubtless soon be made

oLD-sTYLE FIGHTING JUNKs.

manifest 1t is certain, however,
that only ten years ago, during the
war with the French in Tonquin, the
recognized regiments were little
more efficient than the mob OF shout
ing, gong beating, and somersault-
turning Celestials, who were the
sport Of both French and British sol
diers and sailors in previous wars.
Even now, however, the constitution
of the army differs little from what
it was when China, at the beginning
OF this century, having been, so to
speak, the cock OF the walk in East
ern Asia from time immemorial, was
regarded by all her people as abso-
lutely invincible.
The leading branch Of the military
service Is found in the "Bannermen. !"
These are the descendants of the
original invaders, who, by law, have
the right to guard the Emperor's per-
son and the twenty-four gates Of the
forbidden City," Pekin. AS there
are over 100, 900 Of these men In Pc
kin alone, it is obvious that they can
not all be so employed, SO selections
are made from their number to form
privileged corps, the crack regi-
ment Of the Chinese army. This
body is armed with bows and arrows,
save on great occasions, when they
wear swords and carry lances or hal
herds. They stand guard at the gates
of Pekin, at the palace, and escort
the Emperor on his Journeys. The
regiments next in honor are also
armed with bows and arrows, very
good bows, no doubt, and excellent
arrows, but still somewhat behind
the times. AS though in recognition
OF the fact, they arc provided with
matchlocks, with which they are sup
posed to exercise six times a month,
firing three shots on each exercise
day. Much more Importance, how
ever, is attached to the archery prac-
tice, for, though 1t is no disgrace TO
soldier not to hit anything with his
matchbox, some discredit attaches
TO a failure with the bow. The prin-
cipal drill is with the scaling ladder,
1t being taken for granted that the
enemy will always seek refuge in
some place that needs to be scaled,
though much attention Is alyo given
to leapiug and jumping on horses,
running at full speed. These do not
comprise all the drills, for the SOL
diers are taught TO use the sword,
the club or military fail, and also to
beat the gong In the most ear-split-
ting and terrifying manner.
The army of the Green Standard
constitutes the great body of the
Chinese militia. Assembled when an
emergency demands the use of troops,
they are generally disbanded when

and artillery men who have tried to
use the Chinese product are often
tempted to believe that IL Is some OF
that powder that was first invented.
The Chinese guns merely throw out
the shot and that is about all. Dur
ing the opium war the English,
watching the Chinese batteries, often
saw the round balls used drop from
the gun at the distance OF few yards
and roll away, and even when the
Celestial shooting was at its best, the
balls glanced from the wooden sides
OF the men -of-war, generally without
throwing off a splinter. Besides
their cannon the artillery men are
provided with bows and arrows, gen.
orally much more effective than their
guns. They have no gongs, the re-
port of the artillery being supposed
. to answer the same purpose, but they
are provided with one weapon, which,
so far as known, is peculiar TO China.
1t is known by Chinese name.
which, translated into English, Sig
nifies the "stink-pot, and it justifies
its appellation. 1t is a small vessel
or jar Of pottery filled with sulphur
and other combustibles, and is used
by lighting the inflammables within
and then throwing it among the
enemy. One match, burning under
the human nose is bad enough, but
the general effect OF this peculiar
weapon is that of barrel Of matches,
and no wonder can be felt at the fact
that, when landed on the deck of a
hostile ship, it speedily drives the
defenders from the scene. With can
non, stink-pots, and bountiful sup
ply Of very large tirecrackers TO use,
when their guns from any cause fail
to go off, Chinese battery is well
provided for either attack or defense,
and is Justly regarded as the bulwark
Of the national independence.
To what extent the warlike appli-
ances Of ten Or twelve years ago have
been supplemented by more modern
and improved devices is uncertain,
but Judging from the fact that Of the
troops dispatched to Corea, some at
least were armed with bows and ar
rows, it is fair TO presume that in nc
inconsiderable degree the time
honored implements Of war still hold
their place in the Chinese bands, and
were it not that the Japanese are
better provided, the international
duel would be about as interesting
and as bloody as if it were fought
with mops, washboards, ard fiat

was born in Paris 56 years ago. He
fed from France with his mother in
1S48, and was educated at Claremont,
England. In 1861, accompanied by
his brother and the Prince de Join
vile, his uncle, he went to Paris,
and then proceeded to the United
States. Here the brothers served one
year as captains Of volunteers on
Gen. McClellan's staff and then re-
turned to Europe. In 1871 the
Comte de Paris was made mem Der

ment, but was pardoned after serv-
ing four months. This made him
extremely popular with a certain
portion Of the French nation, but
when he soon after broke off his en-
gagement with his cousin, the
Princess Marguerite, who had shown
so much devotion during his impris-
onment, he alienated the hearts of
many. He is joyial, pleasure-loving
young prince, and has served for some
time in an English infantry regiment
in India, and has also spent con.
siderable time tiger hunting there.

these mysterious appliances, and
often remove them from the foreign
guns purchased for the use of the
navy, sometimes replacing them with
pieces of bamboo. With the native
guns 1t is impossible to hit anything,
partly from the lack of sights, partly
from other faults in the piece, and
partly from the worthlessness of the
powder. 1t Is said the Chinese in
