CHINESE FAMILY LIKE
% ( klnr Kmhrr !t|mn III* < anOlilan
and Aaatitllaa* la l.lfe.
A Chinaman writes as follows to the
Shanghae (China) Olrtial Empire- :
I am the third sou of my father, and
am fifty one years of age. He was a
uative of the province of 1 heh Kiang,
and was at the time of his death an ex
pectant magistrate in attendance at
the court of the provincial government
of Y . lie died at the age of fifty
four, just twenty years ago. My pa
ternal grandfather was a full magistrate
of the district of Z , iuthis province,
and we consider him the progenitor of
our family. All connection with our
Cheh Kvaug ancestors has long sine*'
been cut ofl and forgotten. 1 have also
one uncle living, the younger brother
of my father. My mother was a small
footed Cheh Kiang woman, and came
from her native province with my
father. She could speak the mandarin
dialect as well as her native tongue ;
aud it is to her that 1 am indebted for
the Kwati-liwa which 1 now use. My
mother bore my father two sons beside
myself ; one, younger than myself, died
•t the age of three or four years. I am
married to a small-footed native of
Y' , who is now forty-eight years of
age. By her I have had niue children,
four boys aud five girls. Of those
there arc five uow living. My eldest
son died at the age of twenty-five. The
eldest child living is a daughter, aged
twenty-seven, who is married to a local
trader, and belongs, of course, to my
family no longer. My eldest living
son, aged twenty-five, is employed as a
tutor to boys iu the neighborhood of
our dwelling, and his total earmugs
from this source would amount to about
eight dollars a mouth. He is married
to the daughter of a clerk in the provin
cial treasurer's office.
My second daughter wa> married this
rear" to the teacher of a boya' school.
These marriage* are the great expense
to ns respectable families. It coat mo
S3OO, nearly one year's salary, to defray
the cost of our last little afiair. Of tins
I had saved 8120. In the delicate guise of
cake money, mauy of the neighbor* con
tributed from $1 to tl. oue apiece, and
the rest I had to borrow, aud am still
paTing off. The chief expense is for
the three days' o|vn house kept during
the festivities. Pork, cakes, wines, etc,,
have to be lilierally distributed around,
and it would never do for a geutleman
of my position to be shabby. Then the
wife's outfit must always be supplied by
her own family. Tables, chairs, clothes
trunks, pots and pans, and goodness
knows what not. Ah ! you have little
idea how we Chinese fathers must scrape
and starve to do our duty respectably.
Well, my second son is still at school;
he is twenty-one years of age, but as
yet not betrothed. My youngest daugh
ter is thirteen, and" she learns her
honsehold duties at home. Of course,
all the females of our family are small
footed. My uncle's son, aged fortv
five, is stili alive and has four daugu
ters. My wife and children, and my
cousin and his four daughters, thus
form the whole of onr family.
My house consists of six apartments,
and stands me $5 a month for rent; two
of the apartment* are reception rooms.
Before I was employed by my foreign
friend I served as a clerk in the custom
house ; but never having any inclination
to squeeze I did not get on well I know
I am stupid, but I really cannot squeeze,
although my friends make sport of me
for it. I like to be quiet and independ
ent, and as long as I get my salary regu
larly paid I hope to remain of the same
mind. Were 1 lo die my wife would
take one share of what little property 1
have ; one share would be reserved "for
the expense of mv youngest daughter's
wedding, and a share apiece would go
to each of my two sons. Besides the
members of our family we keep one
coolie and one old woman to do the
rcngh work of the household. Every
day I walk four English milee to my
duties, and four miles back again in the
afternoon. This I have done for nearly
twenty years. Certainly. 1 might move
to a nearer place, but I enjoy a very
high position in my neighborhood, be
ing one of the spokesmen of the ward.
The wards are of different sizes. Oars
is a small one, consisting of not more
than two hundred houses. All small
matters are referred to the four spokes
men, who either settle the matter indi
vidually or meet in the temple to dis
cuss it Grave matters go before the
district magistrate in the usnal way.
Weak Lungs.
The lungs of the human body are
more subject to disease than any other
vital organ. Coming directly in contact
every moment with the poisons floating
in the atmosphere, it is not at all won
derful that the delicate tissues should
more often than any other organ be the
seat of disease. It is a source of grati
fication that modern science and inves
tigation have proved that the greatest
number of lnng diseases are curable.
In years past nothing has been more
common than to hear medical men say :
" Oh, he has disease of the longs, I can
donathing. '* Postmortem examinations
upon a large scale hare developed the
fact that pulmonary phthisis is common
in many cases where it is classed as
something else. Numerous cases are
recorded where the patient has died of
other disease, and the lungs haTe re
vealed the old cicafcix perfectly healed
and the surrounding tissues restored to
health.
Instances are known where even aL en
tire lobo ot the lnng has been solidified
and the balaoge of the organ continued
to do double work, and this with small
inconvenience. In a series of examina
tions made at the hospital of Edinburgh,
it was found that the lungs of at least
tone-third of those who diet! over forty
years of age showed signs of former dis
ease. A series of experiments at the
hospital at Paris, of persons dying over
sixty years of age, developed the same
facts. That consumption is hereditary,
no medical man donbts ; that, by judi
cious treatment and by obeying wise
laws it can be enred, hardly admits of a
question. People who have lnng trou
ble should not get into the habit of
believing themselves doomed in oonse
quence of it Such impression often
goes far toward retarding the work of
care. Out-door exercise, pure air,
wholesome food, dry and warm clothing,
ample protection to the chest and to
the feet, and the weak-lnnged people
have lived, and will often live, to the
allotted years of man's life. —Chicago

Fires.
There is just now what writers who
wish to be fine would call "an epi
demic " of conflagrations. Reports of
fires reach as from all parts of the coun
try. When the "devouring element,"
which is another approved phrase, de
stroys a city, the accounts are long aud
impressive, aid the statement of dam
age-, in flgnr- s, startling; yet the ag
gregate of loss by isolated fires dnriug
the last few days is very large, footing,
in not a larg< number cases taken col
lectively,not less than SIOO,OOO. Cmses
in many of these cases are DOI given;
but there is one cause, carelessness,
which, for want of a better, may lie
safely assigned. Now and then mention
is made of a " defective flue," which is
carelessness in the concrete. It would
be very easy to preach about prudence
and caution, bat the best warning is to
be found in the facts. The present hard
weather naturally leads to the employ
ment of a higher temperature in
warming buildings of all kinds which
require to be warmed ; and the
result is greater danger and more
frequent burnings. Very few houses
get anything like a careful inspection at
the beginning of winter, so that flues
which are defective remain so, and heat
ing apparatus which is dangerons is not
made safe, as it might easily be at small
expense. There are men of such pra
denee that their houses are not likely to
take fire from any fault of their own;
but they are not many. The world will
go on trusting to good luck until the
final oon flag ration; but protest against
Rucb iufatnation will not be in vain, if
nere <- r there it shall save a home or a
life.— Neir York Tribune.

Mayflower anil I'tinariler.
Speaking of relics, just before we
reached Portsmouth, a man entered into
conversation with me. He said:
" Yon are from the West 7"
I murmured something about the vast
illimitable, etc., aud the man said:
" Y'onrs is a new country, a new coua
trv; a u-e-w country."
"Yes, I told him, it was new, but it was
the only one we hail, and accordingly we
wore it Sundays and week days alike,
worked and went to parties in it, and it
would soon look a thousand years old.
• 4 We," the man said, " come down
from the venerable mists of antiquity.
It is a glorious thought."
Yee, I said, but it wasn't pleasant. I
was in Boston four days, and it east
winded and rained three of them. It was
misty enough, but spoiled the prospect.
" My aucestors," he said, "cameover
in the Mayflower. But yours?"— And
he looked at rae with a rising inflection.
I tried to slay him with a look of si
lent scorn, but she missed fire.
"Your ancestors, I take it," said the
man, "did not come over iu the May
flower ?"
And then I turned upon him. "Sir,"
I remarked, "th s Mayflower, I take it,
was a Bailing ship ?"
"She was," he said, vainly endeavor
ing to stifle his emotion, " she was a
sailing ship."
"Thoii," I said haughtily, "most
assuredly my ancestors did not come
over in the Mayflower. It has never
been the misfortune of iny family to be
compelled to take passage on any ship
of the merchant marine. My ancestors
came over in a Canard steamer, first
cabin, no steerage passengers carried,
only ten days from Liverpool, and the
minute they landed in New Y'ork, they
went straight up to Mrs. Astor'a tavern,
and took front rooms on the parlor
floor."
I thought I ha<l crushed that man,
but I may be blessed if he didn't look as
though he pitied me. Jlaukrye />ur

Ham be It a** First Speech.
The following is a description of the
first appearance in public of the man
who now weilds almost imperial power
in France. " Not until 1868 did Gam
betta come before the public. A radi
cal paper conceived the idea of raising
a monument to the Republican Hamlin,
who perished in the troubles of 1851.
The emperor took alarm, and ordered a
prosecution of the papers which printed
the Bandin subscriptions.
This was a golden opportunity for
the enemies of the empire. Under the
guise of legal defence they could give
free vert to their daugcroas sentiments.
"Jules Favre was tile lawyer for the
accused journal. Jast nt the time of
the trial he was taken sick, and sent
Qambetta in his stead.
" When the case was called, Favre
did not make his appearance; but a
rather heavy, awkward, ill-clad, swarthy
man, with a white flower in his button
hole, and his left hand in bis trousers
pocket—one evidently not knowu to the
conr'—rose leisurely anl announced
that Favre hail been so good as to ask
him, Leon Qambetta, to conduct the
defence in his absenoe.
"The formal proceedings over, Qam
betta rose to reply. Then was heard
for the first time by a crowded Preueh
audience that rich, sounding, vehement,
magnetic eloquence, which has stamped
this man as the greatest orator of the
present century.
" Its impetuous torrent startled and
paralyzed the imperial judges, no that
they forgot to attempt to check it. The
proenreur sat speech lees; the efvectators
were thrilled with emotion, aud broke
into unrestrained applause."'
Frightening the Nheplierd
One of the most interesting voyage*
made by Captain Boytou in his rubier
an it was down the river, from
Toledo in Bpaiu to Lisliou in Portugal.
Tliis was the loudest und most danger
on a of hia trips. Ffo completed 1,00*)
kilometers in eighteen days, passing 102
waterfalls, varying in height from a few
feet to tweuty five meters. IwHuies in
nnmeraole rapids. Toward the last of
this dangerous voyage, the following
amnaing incident, taken from the
captain's account of hie trip, occur
red: The river strikes into wil i
country through the mountains, a
perfect wilderness. Sometimes there
would be great bowlders in the stream
like big paving stones, round on all
sides; at other times there would ba
layers of aand. I kept on through that
wild country three days and three
nights. All the provisions 1 had was a
piece of bread about as big as my two
fists. The second day I got some olives
in a tree, and on the morning of the
fourth day 1 had another adventure—to
me amusing. I saw ahead of me
on the top of the rocks a shepherd cut
ting off olive branches, which he was
casting down to a girl who stood on a
ledge close to the river feeding coat*.
The girl perceiving me uttered a cry,
and, the attention of the man being thus
called to the curious object in the tiver,
he WHS so frightened that he fell from
tho tree and made off. The girl, with
more courage, picked up a big bowlder
and waited, watching with her big eyes,
I wondering what the strange thing ooul.t
be. But the current took me swiftly
| along, and thus I left them.

My encounter with a shark, however,
while crossing the strait of Messina in
1877, will long be remembered by me
and those who accompanied me on that
eventful trip. I don't believe 1 would
have undertaken the trip hail it not been
for the rumors that were iu circulation
that I dare not try it. The water* of
tins famous strait are alive with sharks
of the fiercest description at almost all
season# of the year, and, before my
venture, it was said that but one mau
hail ever sueeeedel iu crossing it alive,
and this was no less a j-ersouage than
Saint Francisco, who, as the legend has
it, threw off hi# cloak and passed over
dry shod. When it was given out that
I was to make the attempt to swim over
in my armor, old fishermen and natives
gave me up as either insane or a man in
alliance with Satan. When all my ar
rangements were perfected, on the lftth
of Mafh, last year, I entered the water
during the morning accompanied by two
boats filled with member* of the Italian
press, officials of the marine dejartiuent
and other#, each of whom was thorough
ly armed to protect me in ease ! was at
tacked by the ' man eater#,' as the
sharks of this strait are justlv termed.
The water was somewhat rough and the
current fearfully strong and hard to bat
tle against, but I paddled away with
all my strength and succeeded in mak
ingthe middle of the strait without ac
cident or any of my ex
pected foes, although the people in the
boats sighted several and shouted to me
to be on my guard. All at once, when
near a crested wave, I saw a dark object
shooting tinder the water toward me and
knew it was a sliark. I raised my head
and the upper part of mv body from the
water, and drawing my long ami sharp |
knife which I usually carry, awaited his
coming. I had to wait but a second, as
the monster was then on to me. I saw
him turn on his back andopen hia jaws, j
and then I made a lunge for bis white
belly with mv knife. The blade pene
trated the skin a short distance from the
mouth, and as soon as the shark felt it
he made a turn with lightning-like
rapidity and hit me a fearful blow on t
the side with his tail, breaking on® of
my rib*. I still retained my hold on the
handle of my knife, resolved not to lose
it, and was drawn under the water by the
shark. When I arose to the surface mv
antagonist was not to be seen, but it was
evident that he bad got all he wanted.
I was not frightened in the least by the
fish, but I confess I ttad considerable
fear of the men in the boats as tliey
fired wildiy at the shark, and I narrowly
escaped the bullets intended for him.
Well, to make a long story short, I sue-'
eeeded in making the trip all right.
The fishermen had never heard of such
a thing before, and dubbed me Haint
something and looked upon me with
awe."
Keep Dwellings Dry
A warm and dry atm-wphere is not un
wholesome, but when cloudy or rainy
weather brings a sultry air which damp
ens everything around us, the atmos
phere may lie loaded with the germs of
disease, aud fire is needed to destrov
them. The walls, the ceilings and the
floors of apartments should never be al
lowed to become damp. Sometimes,
when the warmth of the uir is oppressive,
fire is more necessary to preserve health
thnn it is at another season to protect us
from the cold of winter; and the rooms
of a dwelling should never be left with
out the means of warming and drying.
Investigations have shown that many
of the most fatal diseases are caused by
the germs of vegetable and animal life,
and that a humid atmosphere is most
favorable for their propagation. It is,
therefore, uegleeting to avail ourselves
of the great discoveries of the age, and
failing to protect onrnelve* from scourges
which so fearfully afflict families, when
we ignore the dangers which surround
nB. Apartments expi sed to the full ac
tion of the sun may be bug comfortable
in hot weather thnn th-.e from which
the snn's rays are excluded, but they
are more wholesome, and wlieu conta
gious diseases prevail in closely-built
cities it is found that the inmates of
houses on that side of the street expos
ed to the sun are less liable to be nftJifU
od, while the greatest windier of *i"k
are always found where there is the
least exposure to the rays of the great
disinfector—the sun.— Cin*innafi Ar

the vestrymen. His name la affixed to
the coutract for tiie new church, which
f.>r minuteness of specification woul.l
serve u a model for tiKsieru building
committees. James Parentis agreed to
build the church for 4800. "The shin
gle* wore to be of the lewt juniper,
thrce-futtrths of an inch thick, eighteen
inches long, and to show MI inches."
The mortar for tiie oatsude walls, which
were of brick, was to be two-third*
lime au.t one third sand; the mortar for
the inside wall was to t*< one-half lime
and one-half waud. " Tlie arch** and
pediments to be in the Tuscan order.
The altar-piece, pnlpit and canopy to
be IODIC." But it appears that con
tractor* even in those early days hail
some of the failiugs of incalern times.
James Parson* failed to fulfill his con
tract, and the vestry mad© an agreement
witii Colonel John Carlyle for the addi
tional stun of Alioto oomplet<\the work.
On the tweuty-scventh of Februarr,
1773, the church having Iteeu formally
delivered to the vestry, ten of the pews
were offered for wale.
Pew So, 5 was purchased by General
Washington for £M'> 10s., tiie Light-t
price paid.
These jH-w* were square, with seats
on three sides and the bsck nearly aa
high a* the head of the occupant. But
in I8l5 and 1817, some of the old square
pews were divided, and the remainder
in 1821. Washington's among the nwt,
but in 1837 it was restored to its former
shajw. It was again divided, but awn
restored to its original form, and so attll
remains. During the war, the city b©
ing in possepwiou of Union troop*, the
•■wtars and *triiH>*" floatiwl over this
pew.
In 1804 Givirge Washington Parke
Onstia, Mrs. Washington's grandson,
whom General Washington adopted,
presented to the parish Washington's
Bible, published in 1772, and now in
us© on the altar.
The building lis* Iveen little by little
remodeled to suit modern tastes.
The old pew of Washington is allowed
to retain its original shape, except the
hark is lowered like the rest. Visitors
to Washington go in large numbers to
attend Sunday morning service at Christ
church and sit iti the pew where Wash
ington worshiped.
Dissecting an Klephant.
Professors and students of the Colum
bia veterinary college New York,
dragged the carcass of the baby ele
phant that died the day before in (sen
fral park into their courtyard. Then
they prepared to hoist it to their dis
secting room. At they had
fitted tip au incline plane, placed the
animal upon it, nud adjourned for the

went with sharpened knives at the ab

Finlav (*iit ami osrve.l a'rout the head.
When the examination wan litiinlied.
Prof. SpitsUn gave an explanation of the
autopsy :
" This auitnnl was about to years
old, and had not, of course, attained its
full growth. Its w- .glit was about SOO
pound*. That apougy, honeyoouibed
lookinc bone ooutaina the air chambers.
Yon notice Uiat there are two skulls. Tn
the skull of the elephaut that went mud
in the Koyal college, tf London, 400
bullets were emlwddoil, yet onl v one of
that tuimlier caunod death. The only
way to death, in iny opinion, when
tiring at the head, ia through the eye.
" Thta ia the brain. It* weight ia
live ponnda," the profesaor said. Plac
ing a human bruin beside it, he con
tinued : " The intellectual portion is
well developed. Th convolutions are
more intricate than those of the human
brain. The spinal eord is not as largo as
that of the horse. The trunk ia rich
with nerves nud ranaclea. The eye is
smaller thin the horse's. The heart,
you will notice, has two points; in that
it li tier a from all other animals. Tins
*haoe in seen in a marine monster,
whone shape ia somewhat like to that of
the porpoise. The complex mass of
mnsclo on the neck, which supports the
head, is most interesting. The direct
cause of death was pulmonary couges
tion. The lungs were ao congested that
they sank in water."
The hide was exhibited. The cover
ing of the feet, looked like large rub
ber shoes. The hide at this part is
I more than three-ijuarters' of an inch in
thickness.

©enter of Houatou, Texas, a livery stable
where their boraes splendid annuals,
but stolen - Lad u left sine© their
arrival iu the city a few days Iwforc.
TLeir confederate, Johnson, bad been
qmetly arretted a few hour* previously.
Ait the bandits stepped in tlie entrance
—fine-looking, jxtwerfnl fellowa—they
were wen Ut lie bewvily armed. Around
the waist of each was a ; lstol-belt, from
wloob ghttenxl twenty-five or thirty
cartridges of the 45 caliber sine, and
from which bung, concealed lieneath
their hnaev voolaoy ©oat*. a |air of
beautiful silver-mounted pistol*.
Before the desperadoes got to their
horses Deputy Sheriff Morris planted
himself m front of Willis, and, looking
him fearlessly in the eye, quietly re
marked, a* though talking to a kid
al'Wed dandy, " 1 want yon." The
ttaiiait understood him. Instantly hia
right hantl gr*s|ed one of the glistening
pistols. Qtliek aa thought the deputy
seised hrni, and a rongh and-tunitde
contest ensued, tlie desperado putting
forth hia full strength to get hia pistol
into position to ahoot the offleer, and the
latter, knowing hi* life * at *t ke,
fiercely clutching hi* enemy. Anothei
officer came up, aud Willui was eventu
ally disarmed—not, however, befor© he
had thrown Morris to the pavement.
Meantime the other bandit, Henry
Darlington, alias Walker, was tackled
by Deputy Hher.tie Fant and Wis*l.
They succeeded in slipping the brace
lets on their prisoner, and had proceed
ed a few steps toward the priaou, when
he made one anddeu, herculean effort.
Officer Fant was thrown down on the
sidewalk in front of a hotel, and the
bandit was about braining him with a
chair, when Deputy Wood, aeeiiig the
jvenl of Ins companion, drew his wi
sh' ter.rtid l aving the drop on Walk
er, tiie . I'm ball jmswd through one
of tlie luuga, producing a fatal wouud.
N'o further resistance was offered l>y
the bandit, who was conveyed to jail.
Walker or Darlington, al hough Lav
ing the ln'st surgical attenti >n, died the
following day in jail. His last hours
were full of dreadful Buffering, yet
though conscious he was treading on tiie
oinflnesof eternity, made no confession.
The young desperado's eyes closed in
death, surrounded by no friends. The
body was quietly buried. It was subse
quently shown* that this yonug man,
like his two confederates, had heretofore
Itclonged to one of the most formidable
and dangerous gangs of highwaymen,
rubbers, murderers and stage thieves.
Origin of Diphtheria.
Diphtheria is t>elieved to have prigi
nated in Egypt more than '2,000 years
ago. It prevailed in Egypt and Asia
Minor, to which it extended during the
first 500 years, ami hence was early
called Egyptian or Syriae disease. Hav
ing invaded Europe, the disease ap
pred in Home, A. D. 330; and being
nkiu to the plague, of which it may t>e
a remote modification, have ha<i the
same origin, with some similar charac
teristics, and being like it and malig
nant typns highlv contagious, the dis
cs*© in its 1.500 years" transit on the
©ont'uent of Europe, nfferhHl mainly
rural districts and gar -1 mined towns ft
had extended to Holland, IU which it
was epidemic, in 1337; to Puna in 1570,
and appear© I m 1771; having prevailed
more extensively in France in 1818 and
1835, aud in England and the Unite.!
State* from 1850 to IHfiO, and more or
less since.
In liotli city aud country more cases
have occurred, other tilings tveuig equal,
in warm autumnal and wjnter weather iu
damp localities, where the air is almost
destitute of or.one, a powerful disinfect
ant, and being saturated with moisture
is in a low or uegativ- electrical con
dition of the nervous system, and cor
respondingly diminishing vitality, iu
those predisposed to tlie disease; damp
air alto, doubt lea*, by dimiuishing tlie
cutaneous exhalu ion, and otherwise
may increase the predisposition t< tins
as well as other kindred diseases.
