Sewer Soaked Leather.

a Paris correspondent describes one
of the oldest industries of that city to
be found in little shop in the Rue
DIES Ecoles, which deals exclusively
with the secondhand boots of the men
who work in the sewers. These boots
are furnished by the state and come
half way up the thigh, and each man
is allowed new pair every six
months. When new they cost 50;
when sold secondhand they realize
the modest sum of 80 cents; but as at
least 5000 pairs per annum 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-cleaners 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.

A PERUVIAN SOLDIER,
Who Became Chinese General and
Married Royalty.

Jacinto Perez, once a common SOL
der in the Colombian army, and we'll
known in Panama. where he served his
last two years in the ranks, died four
months ago in Canton. mandarin of
the Chinese empire and military gov
ernor of the province, leaving widow,
the aunt of the emperor, and three
children. Relatives of Perez, now
upon the isthmus, received the news
by the last China mail coming
via San Francisco.
After leaving the army in 1873
Perez kept for time a little shop
near the old railway depot, where he
repaired pistols and patched up old
guns, mended sewing machines and
Anticipated locks.
A year later he suddenly took his
departure in company with young
Peruvian who had been sailor on
one of the steamers of the Pacific mail
steamship company.
They reached Canton after visiting
San Francisco and Australia in 1881,
and established themselves as sire o.
peddlers, in which business they seem
to have accumulated some little
wealth. Perez called himself '.Thito-
Fa-Le,n and the Peruvian, his partner,
took the name of ''Pan-Lan." They
were natural linguists ana soon spoke
Chinese perfectly; they made many
friends and were admitted 10 member
ship in several Chinese secret socie-
ties.
After two years residence in the
country they settled down in promi-
nent street and branched out as i'm
porters of British and American i'm
proved firearms, displaying fine line
of samples, including Spanish swords
and cutlasses and daggers as side
line. In connection with this they
opened fencing school in back
room, numbering shortly among their
scholars in the art many of the local
military officers of the Chinese service.
Fencing became q popular fad" in
Canton, and the influence of the two
South Americans grew as their patron
age increased.
When in 1884 the great Istieli re-
bellion occurred on the frontier of
Mongolis. both the Colombian and
his Peruvian partner, leaving their
establishment in the hands of native
Chinese clerks, joined the military eX-
petition sent by orders of the emperor
to qucll the uprising in the capacity of
instructors and staff officers. In the
very first battle they so distinguished
| themselves as to be brevetted major
generals of the empire. In the second
| engagement the Peruvian was killed.
The revolt sutfocated. ''Thito-Fa-Len
was promoted to acknowledgement
second in command of the imperial
| guard at Picking. In that capacity he
discovered plot of his superior officer
against the emperor, killed the officer,
and was then made chief of the guard
| grand marshal of the empire. He
was for time the intimate companion
and trusted friend of his majesty. finally
married the latters aunt, and returned
to Canton as mandarin, governor and
military commander of the city and
province, in which capacity he died
leaving an enormous fortune. and three
children, who have since been adopted
by the emperor.
