The Chinese ConfectIoner, His Product
 and His Shop.
ISnrcial Corresnondence.


 HoNGKoNG, April 17.-It was n German cynic, was it not, who said that the first thing a savage did in becoming semicivi- lized was to invent something to make him drunk? Next to that, so far as can see, he invents or discovers some form of candy or sweetmcat. In the earliest history of our race a sweet tooth was as common as today.
 The far cast is, if possible moro devoted to the ConfcctionCr than the west. His stand is always attended If not surround ed, by street urchins His wares arc pUr- chased by child and graybcard, by women of fashion and street laborcrs. Though his profits are small, so small as to seem ridic- ulOus, his trade is so large that he nets fair income and lives comfortably and well. What he sells for cash costs him cash, which, in American currency, would be seven -twcnticths of n cent and flvC-twCn- tieths of q cent. A finer margin then this would bc hard to imagine. Tho C0nfcC- tioncr, or as tho circus people at home style him, the candy butcher, is Omni- present in China. He has largo stores and littlc shops, big factories and tiny ones, stalls, booths and stands, gOCarts and push. ! carts and sometimes chair and table, or even pan tray about his neck. All sorts 1 and conditions of men arc in the business merchants and manufacturers, who are the aristocrats of the trade; old men and old women, too weak to do moro than at | tend counter; stalwart fellows, who car " around all day with ease an outfit of | stand, stool and stock in trade that must weigh 100 pounds; little boys not yet in | their teens, in whom the commercial in | stinct is potent, who start their career on l Q capital of few cents; bumbuatmCn and sampan women, who pcddlc their wares from ship to ship; boatmen whose custom CTS arc tho crew and passengers of newly arrived steamers.
 At Swatow, in tho pleasant gloom of a street arcade. 1 ran across two rival mCr- chants in the business The ono was a lit tie boy of about D, who had n high stool and bamboo table, on which wrrc his wares. The other was an old man, who had seemingly passed his thrCrsc"rc years and ten, and who had, likewise, n stool, table and outfit of goods. Neither one had probably moro than 25 cents worth of goods all told, but they kept up noise that was almost dcafrning. sometimes the cracked voice of the old man took the lead, but generally tho shrill treble of the child was in the ascendant. They hailed every ono who went by and left no stone unturn cd to sell something. watched them five minutes and saw that youth was distanc ing old age, and then went on.
 The candy market of the cast is larger and moro varied than that of home, al though tho workmanship is unSpCakahly inferior and the artistic effect comparative

SERMONS IN HIS FINGERS.
Rev. Job Turner and His Work AmOn
 the Deaf and Dumb.

Shakespeare found sermons in stones, but Rev. Job Turner has them in his fingers. He cannot speak or hear word, but he can preach with both hands and literally point out the straight and nar- row way that leads to eternal life with his wonderful fingers. The Rev. Job Turner is 75 years of age, has been a deaf mute all his life and is one of the few ordained ministers of the gospel who are able to preach to the deaf and dumb MT. Turner is sent out by the Protestant Episcopal church, and his travelling expenses are paid by the church and those who desire to help him. He is now making a tour of the United States, and hc not only breaches at the various institutions for tho deaf and dumb. but i'll every city he looks up the unfortunatcs and does his cvanCcliStic work ill some house or hall.

 The old Rutgers church, to which he was called, was on tho verge of total collapse. The pastor had left 1t, the congregation had scattered, and a work begun back in 1796, when the church was one of three Presbyterian churches in New York. seemed at an inglorious end. A master hand was needed to draw the church from its slough of des- pond, and Dr. Booths was the hand that did the work. Owing to his tireless labors, the congregation increased to grat- flying proportions. a magnificent new church was built much farther up town. and the dying institution speedily be came one of the strong Presbyterian churches of the metropolis. Dr. Booth is a determined opponent of Dr. Briggs and his teachings.

The proceedings contained nothing of a sensa- tional character. being confined to routine matters with one or two exceptions.
