Chlneae Law A oorreepoodent of the New York Kvangeli*t thus describe* hi visit to a court in Canton, China: The court-room wan TWT plain. A oou- Sde of jodgea sat behind tables, lie ore whom a number of prinonem wore brought in. The mode of proceeding was very foreign to American or Euro pean ideas. There wa neither jury nor witnesses, Thia simplified matters ex ceedingly. There is no trUl by jury iu China. 'While we haggle and Ixvggle about impaneling juries and getting tes timony" and tliua trials drag on for week*, in China no auch obstacle is al lowed to impede the rapid course of jus tice, and, wltat ia more, there are no lawyers to perplex Ute onirt with their srgnmente, but the jttdge has it all hi* omu way. He ia aim ply confronted with the accuaed, and they hare it all betwe<u them. While we Stood here a number of priaouera were brought in; some were carried in baakete (aa they are borne to execution), and dumped on the atone pavement like o many bushels of jx>ta toes; others were led in with chains around their necks. As each one's uamc was called he came forward and fell on his kncec before the judge and lifted up his bands to >xvg for mercy. He was then told of the crime of wliich he was accused, and given opportunity if he had any thing to aay iu h\a own defense. There was no apparent harshness or cruelty toward hitn, except that he was presum.-d to lw guilty, unless he could prove bis innocence; contrary to the English maxim of law, tliat a man is to lie presumed lunocent until he ia proved guuty. In thia, however, the Cnineae practice i* not very different from that which exists at this day iu ao enlight ened a country as France. In one case two men were accused of robbery witli rjolice —a capital offense —but by the Chinese law uo man o*ll 1h punishwitli death unless he con fesses his crime ; hence every means is employed to lewd a criminal to acknowl edge Uia guilt. Of course in a case of life and death he will deny it as long as he can. But if he will not confess, the court proceeds to take stringent meas ures to make him confess, for which pur poac th< * two men vrere uow put to the torture. The mode of torture was this : There w re two round pil'amiu the hall. Each man was on his* kueea, with his feet chaiuetl behind him. so tliat he could not stir. He was then placed with his lxack to one of these columns, and cords were fastened around his thumbs ' "lid great toe*. and drawn back tightly to the pillow behind. Thia aoon pro duces intense suffering. Their breasts hii*ved, the reins on their foreheads stood out like whipcords, and every eature betrayed the most excruciating agony. Every few minutes an officer of the court naked if you were ready to con fess, and as often they answered, " No ; ever would they coulees that they had committed such "a crime." They were told if they did not confess, they wonld lie subjected to still greater torture. But still they hekl out, though every moment seemed an hour of pain. While these poor wretches were thus writhing in agony, I turned to the judge to see how be bore the spectacle of such suffering. He sat at his table quite un moved; yet he did not seem like s bru tal man, but like a man of education, such as one might see on the bench in England and America. He seemed to look upon it as the ordinary txinrsc of proceeding*, and a necessary step in the conviction of a criminal He nsed no bravado, and offcrtxt no tannt or insult. But the cries of ths sufferers did not more him, nor prevent his tsking his accustomed case. He at fanning him self and smoking his pipe, as if he said he could stand it as long as they could. The sight was too painful to witness more than a few moments, and I rushed :.way, leav' lg the men still hanging to the pillars f torture. I confess I felt a relief when I went back the next day, to hear that they hail sot yielded, but held ont unflinchingly to the last. Hew A HOT trees on as Errand. There are so many bright spots in the life of s farm-boy that I sometimes think I shouli?like to liTe life over again; I should almost be willing to be a girl if it were not for the choree. There is great comfort to a bov in the amount of work he can get rid of doing. It is something astonishing how slow he can go ou an errand—he who leads the school a race. The world is new and interesting to him, aud there is so much to take his attention off when he is sent to doanvthing. Per haps he could not explain himself, why, when he is sent to a neighbor's after yeast, he stops to atone the frogs; he js iot exactly crnel; \mt he wants to see ff be can hit'em. No other living thing can go so slow as a boy sent on an errand. His legs seems to be lead, noless he happens to eapy a woodchuck in a ad joining lot, when he gives chase to it like a deer; and it is a curious fact about l>oys, that two will be a great deal slower about doing anything than one, and that the more you have to help TOU on a piece of work the lees is accomplished. Boys have a great power of helping each other to do nothing; and they are so innocent about it, and nnoonseioua. •' I went as (inick as ever 1 ooold," says the hoy. His father asks him why he didn't stay all night, when be has been absent three . hours ou s ten-nyaute errand. The sar casm has no effect on the boy. Going after cows was a serious thing in my day. I had to climb a hill which was covered with wild strawberries in the season. Could any boy pass by those ripe berries? And then, in the fragrant bul pasture there were beds of winter green with red berries, tufts of colum bine, roots of sassafras to be dag, ami dozens of things good to eat or to smell, that I could not resist It sometimes , < ven lay in my way to climb a tree to look for a crow's nest, or to swing in the top, and to try if I oould see the steeple of the village church. It became very im portant sometimes for me to see that steeple, and in the midst of my investi gations the tin born wonld blow a great blast from the farm-house, which would send a cold chill down my back iu the hottest days. I knew what it meant It had a frightfully impatient quaver in it, not at all like the sweet note that called us to dinner from the hay field. It said: "Why on earth doesn't that boy come home, it is almost dark, and the cows ain't milked?" And that was the time the cows had to start into a brisk pace and make up for lost time. I wonder if any boy ever drove the cows home late who did not aay that the cows were at the farther end of the pasture, and thst " Old Brindle " was hidden in the woods and be couldn't find her for ever so long! The brindle oow is the boy's scape-goat, many a time.— ChaHe* Dudley/ Warner, in " Being a Roy." An Old Bullfighter's Struggle. The London Times' Madrid corres pondent give* this incident of the I mil fights which made a part of the festivities following the mgrriage of the King of Hpain : Casas, commonly called Salamandiino, ia a veteran matador, seventy years of age, who, baring figured in Queen Isabella's marriage festivities, wished, although he hail long retired from the field, to appear in Friday's and Saturday's bullfights. He appeared dressed in blue, embroidered with silver ; his gray hair was gathered into a knot behind ; aud over his pure white shirt waved a long, red cravet. On the fourth boll b< ing let loose he advanced toward the royal box to request permision to encounter it. All the torreros cluster ed round him to protect him. The bull is attracted toward Balamanchino, who holds his scarlet mantle in one hand and his sword in the other. The straggle commences, bnt Casas Is old, he is not firm on his legs, his muscles Are not supple, his arm is not sure. Twice the bull throws him down. He is thought to be dead, but he is up again and returns to the fight. There is a cry of " Fueral " and pocket-hand kerchiefs are waved to stop him ; but the obstinate matador wishes to win a lost laurel. Fortune however, is, unpropitious ; seven times he attaoks the bull, seven times he misses it. Ac rding to custom, after seven unsuccess ful attacks, the bull's life isjjwfe, and, shaking ite streutfflfe may he-enter the --4 he applause of the spec jj/tH; tnHe, on the other hand its un- Bpttnuate combatant is hissed. I ' A Chinese Tea i'lantntion. We take the following account of a riait to a Chinese tea plantation from an article in St. Xichola* Muijasins : Break l ist over, we jumped ashore again, and, desiring to conduct our sight-seeing svstem ttiealiy, started for the fields. Hirst we walked to the foot of a hill a little distance off, where some men in short cotton trousers and jackets were laying out a new plantation. The ground was accurately markisl off, anil in i>rie place the little plants, only an inch <>r two in height, were just allowing aliovo the ground. In another, the seeds little round balls they looked like —were Ixung planted 111 the rows. Tassipg another field, where some men wore st work with their h>es in true Chinese style, stopping every few mo mcuta to smoke their pirn's, we catuc st last to where the plants had nttaiuisl some sire and the actual picking was going on. The plants themselves were from two to six feet high, acconhng to age, ami from repeated cuttings down had grown into dense masses of small twigs. Many of Uieui were covered with little white Hower*. somewhat sim ilar to the jasimue, ami seeds inclosed in a easing not unlike that of the haxel nut, but thinner and full of oil. Charley thought they looked like little laurel hushes ; to me, tluise that had Ixxm well pi 'ked wore net unlike huekleWrry t bushes, only the leaves were, of course, a much darker green. The first pick ing, usually in Aprd, is when the b-avee are very young ami tender, commanding a much higher price tlmu those subse quently plucked. The second is a mouth later, when they have attained maturity ; and as uu propitious weather wouhl be likely to ruiu tliem, great ex peditiou isn-eil 111 getting ui the "fop the entire population turning out to assist, A third, ami even a fourth, fol lows ; but the quality rapidly deteri orates, and but a -mall proportion of these last pickings is prepared for ex port. The plantations were tilled with a merry crowd, composed principally of women and children, all engaged in stripping the bushes as rapidly as pos sible, yet with great care ami dexterity, so as not to bruise the leaves. They hxiked up from their work and screamed to each other iu their harsh guttural toues, easting glances of astonishment at the barbarians. Following some of Ihecuolits. who with filled bags were trudging oh' to too eurmg-house, we saw the most interesting operation of all. Here, at least thirty young girls were engaged iu assorting the leaves, picking out all the dead and yellow ones, and preparing them for the hands of the rollers and firers. Our entrwuec excited quite a commotion among the damsels, as we #crv probably the first barbarians they had seen, and we hail the reputa tion of Uviug entirely on fat babies. A won! from Akong, who had joined ua, re-assured them, ami in a few miubtes Charley was airing his little stock of Chinese, m >re, I thought, to their amusement than their edification. Leav ing this room we went into another where the curing was in progress. On one side extended a long furnace built of bricks, with large iron pans placed at equal distances, and heated by chanxxtl dree below. Into these pans leaves by the basketful were poured, stirred rapidly for a few minutes, and then re moved to large bamboo frames, where they were rolled and kneaded until all the green juice was freed. They were then scattered loosely iu large, flat flas kets. and placed iu the sun to dry. Subsequently, the leaves were again carried to the funimxe and exposed to a gentle heat, uutil they curled and twisted themselves into the shapes so familiar to yon all. Some of the finer kinds often prepared for exportation are rolled over bv ham before being fired. The great object appears to be to prevent the leaf from breaking ; hence, in the commoner kinds and those intended for home con sumption, winch do not receive the same { care, the leaves are found to be very mncli broken. In fact, the preparation of this latter sort is very simple : a mere drying in the snn. after which it pre sent* a dry, hrokeu appearance, like autumn leaves. Muic at the Pari" Exposition Gen. Torben, United States consul general at Paris, baa transmitted to Governor McCormick, commissioner general of the United States to the Paris exposition, full details of the proposed international musical festival, which is to.take place in connection with the ex position The invitation to participate in these entertainments has already leen accepted by England, Italy, Spain, Sweden. Norway, Prussia and other Eu ropean nations. All lists of authors,and. ao far as possible, the names of the pieces of music to be performed, must lie sent in as early as the Ist of May. The French commissioner-general, however, reserves the right to revise the lists if he ahall find it necessary for the purpose of exclnding anything calculated to pro voke political manifesUtiona or to wound national sensibilities. Changes in the programmes or additions to them may also be made after the Ist of May by permission of the commissioner-generaf. No applications will be received by the French authorities from individuals or associations, unless presented through their respective commissioners-general. No question will be raised as to the na tionality of the performers. They will be regarded as representing the country under whose flag they are presentee!. The Grande Salle du Trocadero,which will aooommo-late nearly five thousand |>eople, as well as a smaller concert room in the same building, will be placed at the disposal of the jverfonners tree of charge. The receipts of each concert will belong to the nation by which it ia given ; but from these receipts mnat lie paid all the incidental expenses, except those pertaining to the police arrange ments, which will be assumed by the French government Each country must provide for its own wants with respect to orchestral or other accompaniments. The manic of living composers can be presented only by the nations to which they respectively belong, but ont of re gard to the exigencies of those countries which have leen relatively unproduc tive of mnaic, the works of dead oom posera may be selected at will by any nation. Application will lie made for a reduc tion of the rates of transportation for persons and material from the French porta to Pari*, and the suspension of the rights of authors and editors will also lx> requested by the French commissioner general. The main objects sought in giving this festival are variety of musical com position, excellence of execution and the expression of character and seutiment as translated in music. The French au thorities are earnest in the desire that the United States may be represented with an ample programme.— New York Herald. Would Vouch for Him. A hilarious sort of a man who does business on Griswold street, says the Detroit Free Press, entered the office of an acquaintance the other day, and asked for the loan of twenty-five dol lars. The gentleman hated to refuse, bnt yet forced himself to say : "I have the money, but if I let yon have it my family will .want for food be fore Saturday night. " Shoo! I gness not! You let me have the money, and if you get out of provisions I'll take yon to a grocery where they'll trust you for thirty days on my vouching for your integrity, and I'll do the vouching, though it's a thing I seldom do for anybody, owing to the risk." " But—but," stammered the other. " And I've got a barrel of carrots in my barn," continued the other, "and if worst comes to worst, I'll be hanged if I don't give von the pile ? I wont see a man starve after he's done me a favor!" It was like pulling teeth, but he got Ihe money. "Ten dimes make one dollar," said the schoolmaster. " Now go on, sir. 1 Ten dollars make one—what ?" " They make one mighty glsd, these times," re plied the boy, and the teacher, who hadn't got his last month's salary yet, concluded the boy was about right. Toe Marh I'reeture.

Everything was uow ready, and the formalities all completed except the signature of "J. N." to the paja-r. By this time the old fellow was pretty thoroughly convinced that the pro.ved ings meant business in earnest, ami he became visibly nervous and ill at ease.

"I want it distinctly understood," remarked the martvr, rising, " I don't want to bo hung—f want to bo shot." " Yon shall be," said the governor, "to-morrow, at noon."

Old Faithful Argus aas an old watch-dug, and I**- louged to a farmer's family in Albany, il. Having lung outlived his useful ness ias it was presumed*, his owners had determined to put hini out of the war, and had several times UIM- >#ed •f nim, they thought, but he had alw ays returned to them alive and well. Finally a neighbor called oue day, with his rifle in his hand. He had been out after a fox. One of the boys laid in with him to take Arcus out in the woods aud shoot him. The old dog was always crazy to follow a gun. He lay in the shed aud heard the conversation, and when, fiuglly the rifleman called to him, he got tip and followed hits out, — followed him around to the rear of the barn, and there disappeared. It would seem that he undershxni ex actly the meaning of the compact which had been framed against his life. At all events, he disappeared, and fur six days we saw him not, though two or three times we fancied we could detect his tracks, where he had been at the swill-tub during the night. The seventh night of the dog's ale sence was the night of Saturday. Dur ing the day soap had la-en made and ladled down, and a heavy baking done in the old oven. Somewhere past mid night all hands were aroused by the Itarking and howling, aud whiuiug and scratching of old Argus. We knew the voice, hut we were determined not to let him in. He redouble-1 his cnes and his scratching n|>on the dour. At length the head of the family, in his wrath, took down a loaded musket, —loaded for a hawk, —threw np a win dow of the sitting-room. No sooner was the sash raised than the old dog came in with a bound, and without stopping to see what his reception was to be, he leaped through the door opening from the great kitchen out into the wash room and wood-shed, where he howled and scratched like one isjeseaacd. John and I knew that something must be wrong outside, so we unfastened the door, and as we opened it the dog bounded ont to the sited, where there was a great wooden box half fllleifNrith ashes. But we had to go no further to 1 car 14 what was the matter. The shed was filled with sinoke, aud a sharp crackling broke upon our ear*. The IISII-IKIX WHS on fire, from coals which had been care lessly thrown in during the afternoon before, and the fire had taken to the dry pine partition between the shed and wash-room, and had made its way al most to the roof. A smart wind wan blowing, and in ton minute* more the tiro would have been beyond our control, and those ten min ute* wonld havo been given to the enemy but for the dog. AH it was, having water handy, we put oat the tire with only the loss of an gab-box and a part of the partition; but the ex perience gained waa worth more than that. Grand old dog ! He had crept to the house to mtiHfy his hunger from the poor swill-bucket fearing death if he were discovered; but when lie found dauger to the family,—a danger which he must have ooraprcpeuded, instantly, and completely,—he thought no more of self; to save those whom he had loved became bis sole object, and how he did it we havo seen. He sure there was no morn thoughts of lulling tliat dog, nor of giving him away. A (hnnge of Climate Yesterday morning a forlorn cricket that had been tempted out of doors Bjr the warm weather of the preceding days was shivering along the streets looking at a cheap second-hand ulster and wishing that he were home, when he met a wasp that had been locked out during the fall house-cleaniug. "I am almost frozen," said the cricket, "my hands are fairly numb with cold." "Put them in my cuat-tuil jKs-kets," replied the wasp, eheerfully, ' 'and warm *iero." The cricket did so, and the wasp im mediately warmed him with the im proved heating machinery located in the after part of liis system. The cricket merely paused to remark that there ap peared to be a cayenne nepper manu factory in the neighborhood, crawled under the plank walk to die, while the wasp, who was foud of his little joke, wentawav singing merrily, "Come, come away to tbe try-sting place."—Burling ton Hawkeye.

The Great Limestone Belt ot Kansas. i The Attractive Region of the West lly Mn)<>r If. Inmnn. The " Great Centra Plain* " are a geograph ical feature of th* State of Kansas. Covared with a remarkably nutritious vegetation, for ivnituno* they were an imnwDN pasturage for countless herd* of buffalo, antelope and other ruminating animals, whose habitat was the far-stretching green prairies that to-day form i one of the most Iwenlifal agricultural portions of the Mississippi Valley. Less than ten years ago this region was believed, by the mass of th- people in the Fast, to be an unprofitable desert, but it is now the acknowledged garden of the Continent This truly magnificent coun try can claim the most luxuriant soil of all the "Oreat West." and a climate that approaches perfection, at least Ir. B. K. Fryer, one of | the most eminent surgeons In tbs Army, and who was stationed for years at Fort Barker, four miles from the Town of Kllsworth, de clared this to be the " most perfect climate in the world." The whole country is traversed by a series of constant streams, sweet and wholesome spring* and spring-fed pools. De licious water Is also always obtained in wells, 'by digging, at easily-accessible depths. It is already conceded that the I' ruled rtlaies is rap idly tiecoming the granary of the world, par ticularly in the production of wheat Kansa*. an Empire in itself. Is taking the lead in the culture of thi cereal, and in a short time will lie acknowledged .juoen of all tho States in the production of this great staple The Slate, especially her peculiarly wonderful fertile cen tral area, compr sed in what is now known as the " limestone belt." under the test of only a few years, ha* proved to the world the Im mense average its soil is capable of. Each tear increase* the limit of the wheat-belt, as the frontier is pushed toward the mountains, within which sre found the greatest possibili ties, agriculturally. It is a remarkable fact that nearly all the lands of the Kansas Taciflc Railway are in cluded in tho limestone region under consider ation. and that south of this limit, iu that di rection, it cesses altogether, and the country presents another geological formation, the soil of which i* very sandy, and which, though at present, from fttUnrna <>/ it* wry prinuii ernes* is capable of producing good crops in seasons of abuiidntit rainfall, lacks the iuheren' -piali ties of relf-fcr ilixa'io* mid mn*l rnpitUy drf riorati In this particulai the Smoky Bui Vpl ley is immensely superior to t'ie areuacious lands of ttio region south, which is drained ky the Arkansas and tributary streams. It is well known by every farmer that lime, in some of its combinations, constitutes the essential in gredient iu all the more va'uahle grains and grasses. Its presence in the soil is consequent ly to be considered as a condition of fertility. It also acts a*~a constitutional ameliorant, of much power, and, when mixed with or under lying tough or viscid clay, it renders them fri ■l>l* mm) a>uwquM)U; mora iaio*t4lt)b to the action of tßM>i|>b*rtr forces.
