rAs chinese Regard II as an Instrument
Of Evil.

e
Two American bicyclers, Allen and
Sachtleben, tell in the Century Of their
meeting with Chinaman in the heart
OF the fowery kingdom who electrified
them by addressing them in the purest
English. HE was one of that party
OF mandarins' sons which hnd been
sent over to our country some years
ago, as an experiment by the Chinese
government, to receive thorough
American training. We cannot here
give the history Of that experiment, as
Mr.. Woo related it-how they were
subsequently accused of cutting off
their queues and becoming denational-
lied, how, in consequence, they were
recalled to their native land, and de-
graded rather than elevated, both by
the people and the government be-
cause they were foreign in their senti-
ments and habits; and how, at last,
they gradually began to force recogni-
ton through the power Of merit alone.
He had now been sent out by the gov
ernment to engineer the extension Of
the telegraph line from Su-chou to
Urumtsi, for it was feared by the gov
ernment that the employment of for
eigner in this capacity would only in
crease the pswer for evil which the ma
tives already attributed to this foreign
innovation. The similarity in the
phrases telegraph pole and dry heaven
had inspired the common belief that
the line of poles then stretching across
the country was responsible for the
long.existing drought. In one night
several miles of poles were sawed shor,
off, by the secret order of banded
conspiracy. After several decapita'
tions, the poles were now being re
stored, and labeled with the words
Put up by order Of the emperor"

PARIS SEWER BOOTS.
How Thsy Are Utilized In Making Fine
Shoes for Ladies'.


Shoes for Ladies'.
Speaking Of the fashions brings us to
an odd discovery which has recently
been made. There is a small shop on
the other side of the Seine, in the Rue
des Ecoles, which deals exclusively
with the secondhand boots of the men
who work in sewers. These boots, says
q Paris letter, are furnished by the
state, and come half way up to the
thigh, and each man is allowed new
pair every six months. When new they
cost nine dollars; when sold second
hand they realize the modest sum OF
fifty cents; but as at least six thousand
pairs per annnm are sent to the Rue
des Ecoles it makes quite a booming
industry.
The leather Of these boots is, SO to
speak, tanned by the alkaline and
greasy water in which the sewer-clean-
ers so perpetually paddle, and they are
eagerly sought for by the great
Partisan bootmakers; for this leather,
being at once tough and light, serves
to sustain the curve of the Louis XIV.
heel AT first this was done by piece
Of iron; but that was heavy and clum-
sy, SO finally the ingenious dealer hit
upon this substitute, to the delight Of
the sewer-cleaners, who realized a
modest sum, and the content Of the
fashionable bootmaker, whose shoes
profted by the change; but the great
lady whose satin-shod feet glide over
the earth with such majesty Of gait
little knows that one of the component
parts Of her dainty footgear has risen
from sewer to reach her.

Persons Of an inquisltivc turn Of mind have
been in the habit for a long time past OF ask
ing themselves one another and everybody else,
ms often as opportunity offered. by what mys-
ferrous and fruitful processes police captains
on salaries of 81 80 per annum succeed In graf
flying luxurious personal tastes, supporting
large families in IA generous and cnvlablc man
ner and accommodating handsome fortunes for
their own dedication and the solnce OF their
postcrlty. 1t Is painful illustration OF mans
inhumanity TO man. by reason Of which count
less thousands mourn. that a large number or
suspicious citizens have drifted into the belief
that the police officials who thus fare sumptu-
ouslv and lay up rich treasures on earth out or
comparatlvely nothing In the way OF salaries
are accustomed to sell protection to lawbrakcrs
for SPOT cash And many individuals who are
not given to harsh Judgment have undoubtedly
been persuaded TO adopt this view during the
last three months by the testimony OF witnesses

Board In fact. there has been general as
