Peculiarities of the Race That Has Long

The Manchus, as a body, really do
not care two straws about Confucius,
though it is part of their policy to
make a great fuss, just as Napoleon
found it paid best to humor the popes.
or course, l am speaking of the gen
uine typical Manchus, who are fast dy-
ing out and become p%etticoated prigs
of Cinnamon, but without a China
mans su%ppleness and brains. The true
Manchu has an honest contempt for
writing fellows;' he has long since
forgotten his w language, and now
speaks a rough, energetic, bastard Chi
nese, called Pekingese, with a good,
honest country burr. 1t bears much
the same relation to literary Chi
nese' that Hindustani does 20 Sans
krit; or, better still, that the Viennese
dialect does to German. The emDcr-
or of China on formal occasions, de-
scanting on funerals, Confucius, flial
piety, and SO on, is like E. J. Dillon's
French president, ~descanting On right
civilization and justice" The real
human Manchu emperor making broad
Jokes in the coarse Peking brogue,
cracking melon seeds and putting at
his water pipe withal, may be COM
pared with his majesty, the Emperor
Francis Joseph with a feather in his
billycock and a pot of Pilsener beer
before him, smoking a long, coarse,
Italian Avana da %quindici with a straw
run through it, and exchanging re-
parties with his private cronies in
piquant Viennese. The Manchus like
sport, good living and fresh air; they
neither care nor profess to care one
little bit about the Chinese empire,
except in so far as it is a big elastic
sponge out of which can be squeezed
at suitable intervals a rich nutriment.

took a keen pleasure, as we'll as a
pride, in running the vast machine as
economically and as uprightly as pos
sible, and ever nov there is a consiG-
cradle quantity Of good manly leaven
in Manchu mankind, just as there is
in any other mankind, and it is this
minority Of good men which keeps
things going, not to speak Of the leav-
Ell of good in the Chinese or Confu-
clan element, which combines with the
excellence on the Manchu side, even
as in the United States the under
stratum of solid worth in party life

Even When the Mark Is Hit.
With regard to the effects of gun.
shots upon a balloon, the following ex-
periments were made, says the Pail
Mall Magazine. A shot was fired from
a Lebel rifle at a balloon at an alti-
tIde Of 500 feet. 1t only penetrated the
fabric below the equator, and no ap-
preciable result ensued. After this
many shots were fired, several pene-
trating the balloon and passing out
near the upper valve. After a lapse
of six hours the balloon descended
quietly to the ground, by reason of the
loss of gas through the bullet holes.
But it appeared that, whatever the
number of shots, the loss of gas was
never sufficient to cause the balloon to
fall rapidly. On another occasion, a
shrapnel shell was fired from a seven
FOUNDER Armstrong u at a balloon
having an altitude of 1,500 feet, but
this being above the limit of elevation
Of the gun, it was impossible to hit it.
In any case, had it been possible to
do so, the shell would have penetrated
the balloon below the equator and
passed out again so low down as to
cause no serious loss of gas. Indeed,
a balloon loses but little of it's lifting
power-that is, little of its gas-if the
hole is made below the equator. Once
a gore was split up to within a few
feet Of the upper valve; at first the
balloon fell rapidly, then the wind
filled out the tapping fabric, and it
sailed quietly to earth.

no government seems perfect while
man tolls yet suffers from hunger:
where years Of honest labor will leave
him nothing but the %workhouse in his
old age, and compel him TO rear hig
children in degradation and ignorance
To us every report Of privation and
every crime is a proof of imperfection
in our social system. 1t is the level
of the masses by which we should
measure our greatness. 1t is the ele-
walton Of the masses that will insure
the perpetuity of our institutions.
For these reasons we would guard
their interests we'll. While we have
no quarrel with the wealth OF the
country, and especially the great bank
ing institutions about which our critic
seems to feel so badly. yet We do not
feel that they need much of our watch
full care, for they have demonstrated
the fact that they are fully able to
take care Of themselves.
We believe the one thing that the
lover of America and it's institutions
needs to fear is organized wealth. Espe-
cially when concentrated in the hands
of a few men, who through purely
selfish motives would use the power
that their wealth gives them to rob
their fellow-men. 1t is natural that
they should. In their transactions
