A German paper gives an account or a strange inoident wnica occurred lately on the occasion of a marriage before the civil authorities in Algeria. The official required the consent of the mother, and asked if she were present. A loud bass voice answered, 'Yes. The Mayer looked np and saw a tall soldier before him. "That is well," he said; "let the mother come here her consent and signature are neoessary, To the astonishment of all present, the soldier approached the Mayor witn long strides, sainted in military fashion, and said: "You onli for the mother of the bride; she stands before, yon." "Very well, sir," replied the Mayor: "then stana tacfc, x can take no T must see the mother the mother. lte)l yon J" "Aad I repeat," rejoined the soldier, "that she stands before you. My name is Mnria L . I nave been thirty-six vears in tbe service. I have been through several campaigns, and obtained the rank of sergeant; here are my papers, the permission to wear uniform, ana my nomination as ser geant-major. TheMayor carefully examined the documents and found them perfectly cor rect, and completed tbe marriage of the bridal pair, the mother blessing them so fervently with her deen bass voice that all present were more startled than touched. Itew Tear's Day In China, A nong Kong correspondent of T7ie Graphic gives the following description of a popular Chinese holiday, and partly explains why the manufacture of fire-crackers is so largely carried on by the Celestials. "The 'but one is imperative. He will work from the beginning of the year to the end, or very nearly, without intermission; he will live on the most ridiculously inexpensive diet, dress in a yard of calico in sum mer and a superincumbent covering of rags in winter, but he must have one holiday, and on that day he must satisfy the one inex tinguishable longing of his nature. His holiday is New Year's Day; the craving of his passionnle soul on that solemn occasion is crackers. The British Government has made a great compromise with its Chinese subjects in Hong Kong. The Chinaman abstains from the use of crackers as a rule, and in return is allowed to indulge himself to his heart's content in that delirious luxury on tne great festival of the China New Year. Not only in the China town, but all over the colony, crackers are sanctioned by the law during this fearful period. The streets become red with the exploded paper canes, which cover the ground like leaves in autumn; the air is filled with sul phureous fumes, the European heads in the colony ache as if they would split; but un interruptedly for two days and nights the detonations continue. Crackers on New Year's Day constitute an old, or, in Pigeon English, an 'olo custum.' If the Governor of Hong Kong were to require the native population to adore his sedan chair on their knees when he passed, or were to exeoute a few of them every Sunday morning, pour passer le temps, that might be borne, but to forbid the use of crackers on New Year's Day would create a revolution in the island. "To call them crackers, though they cannot be called anything else, is to convey a feeble idea of their nature to European readers. A Chinese cracker is a slab of explosive fire works about an inch thick, four inches wide, and of any length you please. It goes off in a succession of explosions, each of which is quite as loud as the report of a musket, and hops about from one side of the street to the other during the brief climax of its existence, flying ten or twelve yards in .unforeseen directions at every bang, in a manner which thrills a Chinese breast with a joy beyond expression. At every other doorway, while the New Year festival lasts, there stands a group of Chinamen wholly devoted to the task of letting off these diabolical preparations. They have risen, most of them, at about four in tbe morning, to begin the delightful day on which crackers may lawfully be used. How they can reconcile their economical and saving consciences to the idea of spending so much of their substance on a fleeting pleasure is a problem impossible to solve; but in the matter of crackers a miser in China would be extravagant. What is the end of wealth if it cannot in some way or other be made to sub serve enjoyment Doubtless tne sages have left moral maxims in abuodance for the pur pose of justifying so national a taste. These it is the custom of the country to write np up and down, we might say, considering the perpendicular character of Chinese caligraphy on strips of paper, wnicn are suspended lor tne edification ol benolders about tne snops and rooms. The preparation of these by ac complished 'scholars, who have imbibed the wisdom of the great classic writers, is quite a business by itself. "Tne weariness of soul wnicn comes over the European mind in Gough street, after twenty-four hours of the New Year pande monium, can hardly be conceived to ears familiar with no worse noises than the gentle buzz of life in Cheapside, or the cheerful activity of a boiler manufactory. Every Chinaman who is not engaged in letting off crackers employs his time in beating a gong; and when myriads of these are giving tongue all over a town at onee, nothing but crackers could be heard above tne dm. it all seems to be an undiluted gratification to Chinese ears, 'beautiful as songs of the immortals,' 'celestial melodies of love,' like those of whiah Longfellow dreams. The tympana of the Chinese must be made of different stuff from ours; their whole nervous-system indeed must be unlike that of Europeans, and their pecu liarities in this respeot might form an interest ing study on the border-land between phy siology and psychology, uneir wonderful cal lousness to death, and tne stoicism they often exhibit under torture, would perhaps be found to spring from causes not entirely dissimilar to those which prompt their annual debauch on crackers. illuminations at nignt. and special per formanoes at the native theatres, feasts among the wealthy, and 'sing-songs' for all ranks and ages, help to celebrate the New Year; but the minor details of the festival mar readilv be lor (rotten bv a foreigner. . ..." . .... - - - There is only one thing about it be ean never forget tbe nninterrmttent volley of explo sions which last for eight-and-forty hours, In the pure Chinese cities like Canton, the New Year celebration lasts much longer; but. except to gratify a curiosity wnicn is soon ap peased, Europeans seldom penerate their tangled streets at such a time, in Hong Kong, however, you cannot escape from the riot, and can only bear it with any fortitude you nave at your disposal. jjusmess is en tirely suspended, sleep is out of tne question, reading is impossible, conversation is about M easy as in a London cab. Xou can t go off in)o the country, for your coolies, however docile they may be at other times, would leave you if you wanted them to work on that day. Xou can t row away across the Harbor, for your boatmen are helping the other ser vants to let off crackers. There is nothing for it but to wait till tbe ehanvart is over. envying Alexander Selkirk,' and joining in all tr a J ..1 il . , 1 . ii xioiBiiut uouuuuiutiuna 01 villainous wut petre."
