Dr. Carver is, no doubt, the beRt
short-range marksman in the world. lie
gave his second exhibition at Deerfoot
lark, and astonished everybody who
saw him. Ho is as fine a specimen of
' fully-developed manhood as ever walked
on Manhattan Island. More than six
feet high, every part of his body is built
to oorroppond. Ilia chest is so deep that
it would take a powerful rifle to send a
bullet through it. His shoulders are
broad and high, and altogether, he is
exactly the man that ordinary people
wouIcId t put themselves out of the way
to pick a qnai rel with.
The scene of the shooting is worthy of
description. A small woodon shod, with
a bar in one corner; in front of this a
tablo, on which were lour rifles, several
boxes of cartridges, and half a dozen
score-books. Fifteen or twenty feet in
front of this, again, a barrel and a man,
the man taking the glnss balls out of
the barrel and throwing them in the air,
and Dr. Carver breaking them with the
bullets as fast as they appeared. Some
body was always at work loading a rifle.
The marksman could fire them faster
than the loaders could load. And they
were the most remarkable rifles breech
loaders, of course. When they were
opened at the end one enrtridge was
shoved in after another, till it seemed as
if the first one must surely be some
where np by the muzzle.
Dr. Carver's costume has nothing to
do with his markrmauship, and his shoot
ing is strictly business. He seldom
misses what ho fires at. Most of the
time was taken np in shooting glass
balls, filled with feathers. The balls
were of the thinnest film of glass, slight
ly tinted, so as to be seen easily in the
air, and, when they broke, the feathers
scattered in every direction. The balls
were thrown about twenty feet into the
air, and the marksman was not more
i-unu uiieen yaras irom them at any
time. It was noticeable that the shot
was invariably fired just as the upward
impetus of the glass ball ceased and it
was about to begin its fall. This close
glass-ball shooting did not give the idea
of remarkable skill, probably on account
of the short distance, even though the
average was nine hit out of every ten.
'It looked much more wonderful when
- the assistant threw the glass balls as far
as he could and Dr. Carver broke each
one as it flew, the distance being not
less than one hundred yards. Several
coins were shot straight through the
center, as they whirled through the air.
One of the most astounding of Dr.
Carver's feats was his hitting a bell5
metal ball when it was almost out o
sight up in the air. The ball is so made
that when the bullet strikes it it rings like
small gong. The assistant threw this
ball many times as high as he could
throw it, till, sometimes, it could hardly
be seen, but every time- the marksman
brought the sound out of it. He also
cut iu two all the lead pencils he could
induce the spectators to throw into the
air, and he fired successfully at a large
number of unused cartridges. When
' he assistant threw two glass balls up at
'he same time the rifleman, with a
.Jonble-barre weapon, first broke one
pud then the other, without making a
. ingle failure.
Tue two requisites for good shooting
a otiof course, an immovable rest for the
; run-stock and a steady hand and arm
J .ir t ho barrel. The secret of Dr. Car
ver's wonderful marksmanship maybe
'this immense and perfectly-balanced
)ly, which stands firm as a rock. With
toady hand also, such a man may do
lost incomprehensible things with a
d riflo. Ilis body seems able to with
out any attacks of nervousness; yet
en he misses a shot he is very likely
misa the two or three succeeding
s, a sure sign that the mis3 flurries
;i. Another of his peculiarities is
fc he-aims with both eyes open so
t he can keep an eye on the Indians,
ays, while ho is firing at a buffalo.
?r. Carver's shoot ng has astonished
York. Nothing to equal it has ever
a seen here before. Whether or not
fould be able to cope with some of
Creedmoor marksrueu on their long
"ns, is an interesting question.

Feeding (J boats In China.
The carpenter who has been making
Our new book-case says he wants to go
to his home for a few days somo work
is awaitiog him there; the Chinese
writer says he wishes to go there is a
message to be sent iu the direction of
his village, he can carry it, and,
being at leisure, can spend a few days
with his family; our house boy says he,
also, must go his "muddar" has been
sick, is now "more better," and he must
go and see her.
And so theo; rpenter andlthe writer have
gone, and the boy is going; but it seems
so strange, their all asking to go at the
same time, that I suspect that at least
part of them had some untold reason for
it, and, when I remind myself that it is
now the last of August, that it is the
time of the full moon, and that last
night our Chinese neighbors were going
about out of doors carrying bowls of
boiled rice, and that in front of the
houses in the street near by were little
fires with those thin, filmy ash-flakes
that remain from burned paper scattered
about them, I feel sure that I have
guessed the reason, and that it is a wish
to celebrate at their homes the Festival
of Burning Clothes, and the Friendless
Ghost's Feast.
The Chinese think that persons after
they are dead need the .same things as
when they are alive, and that if they
are not supplied with them they can
revenge themselves upon the people in
this world, bringing them ill-health or
bad luck in business. This being the
case, of course people try to keep the
ghosts of their relations in as comforta
ble and quiet a state as they can.
If a father should die, his friends,
while he remained nnburied, would
every day put a dish of rice and, per
haps, a basin of water, by his coffin, so
that his ghost might eat and wash. Af
terwards, they would at times carry food
and drink to his grave, or place it be
fore the wooden tablet, which, to honor
him, would be set up in his house. To
supply him with cloihes and money, or
anything else he might need, like a
house, a boat or . a chair, paper imita
tions of these things would be made and
burned, after which it would be thought
the ghost could make use of them. Fif
teen days at this season of the year are
considered the most lucky time for mak
ing these offerings. Large quantities of
clothes and other paper articles are then
sold, and there is a great burning of
them all over the country.
Besides these well-to-do family ghosts,
there is another cla a of whom people
are dreadfully afraid. These are the
spirits of very wicked men, and of child
less persons who have left nobody be
hind them in this world to care for
them. They are supposed to be wan
dering about in a most forlorn condition
and to be able to do a great deal of mis
chief. To put them in good humor,
and to induoe them to keep out of the way
of the living, a feast is made for them
every summer.
I For several years past, this feast has
been given in an open plot of ground
jut outside our yard and under our
sitting-room windows, so that I have
often seen it, though I am obliged to
say I have never spied any ghosts com
iDg to eat of it.
livery year the ceremonies are the
same. Early in the day four tall poles
are planted in the ground about a dozen
feet apart, and so placed as to mark a
square; about twenty feet from the
ground a wooden floor is built between
the poles. A few men who stand upon
this platform direct every thing. Usual
ly, one or two of them seem to be
priests; once, I recognized the leader as
an expert juggler whose tricks I had
witnessed only a short time before. A
fiart of the feast has been made ready
teforehand and is at once arranged on
tho platform. At two corners are placod
ornamented cones, six or eight feet
high, which, I suppose, it is expected
will appear to tho ghosts to be solid
cakes, but which are, in reality, only
bamboo frames, thinly plastered over
with a mixture of flour and sugar; be
sides these are green oranges, other
fresh fruit, and articles of different
kinds. Boon, offerings of food begin to
come in from the neighborhood, and are
drawn nn bv ropes tv the Platform
these are, mostly, baskets of boiled rioo,
and have a bit of wood holding a red
paper stuck in the middle of the rice,
suppose the giver's name is upon the
paper, and after the feast the baskets
seem to be restored to the persons who
brought them; thence can then betaken
away, and eaten at home,
At length the platform is well laden
with food, which remaius exposed in the
sun and wind for several hours, during
winch time a grent noise is kept np with
gongs and other musical instruments.

sometimes half a dozen rushing after
the same fragment, and now and then a
man trying to clamber np the poles to
secure a portion before it falls. When
the stage is cleared the crowd disperses.
and the Ghosts' Feast is ended.
In this region the people are very
poor, but in a large and rich community
this festivity would be kept with splen
dor even, and with much cost.
. Last year, a part of tho wooden frame
word foil, and one man was injured. I
think this may make tho old ground
seem unlucky to the Chinese, and load
them to seek a new place for this year's
feast.
Let ns hope they will do so. for to
have a set of the most wickod and un
happy ghosts asked to dinner under
one s windows, is not, after all so amus
ing as it is noisy and sadly foolish.
Old Clothes, v
It is wonderful what an amount of
adaptability there is in old clothes, and
how readily they consent to be made
over, brushed np. washed, sponsred.
dyed, or otherwise rejuvenated, till it
would almost require an expert to tell
that they were not new. A cunning
hand can indeed make a very presentable
garment from two old ones ; and who
of ns that has bestowed some anoient
article upon our washer or herb woman,
but is more or less amazed to see to what
good account she turns it, how fairly it
rewards her pains, and what a lesson
drops from the folds of this bit of cast
off clothing? If there are sermons in
Btones, old clothes preach to us, some
times, as well. There is a charm, per
haps, in wearing them which those who
make haste to put on new ones fail to
recognize; there is always the certain
pleasure of saving the new ones ; at
least the surety that no accident of the
day can greatly afflict ns ; that we are
not obliged to "move in deference to our
attire ; that we can ramble in the woods
without anxiety ; that neither sun nor
rain can disturb our tranquility ; that a
careless or awkward neighbor at table
has no alarm for us. In our old clothes
we can romp with the children, and little
fingers where bread and molasses yet
linger have no terrors for us. If we
need to transplant our flowers, to weed
the garden bed, to pick the peas for
dinner, how plainly precept and example
point to the old clothes I how comfort
able we are in them ! It is the old shoe
that never pinches or squeaks, the old
gown that never interrupts digestion or
peace of mind, the old glove that has
shaped itself to the hand, the old cloak
that advertises our approach to our
neighbors, and gives them notice to
change the baby's apron and set the
room to rights, the old hat that is not
afraid to be caught in a shower. They
have adapted themselves to our require
ments ; they suit ns, as nothing new
was ever known to do. " If you have
any enterprise before you, try it in your
old clothes," says tho sage 'of Walden
Woods ; yet such is the common preju
dice against them, that a stranger thus
apparelled would fall under some sus
picion among ns ; being in possession
of no other data from which to infer her
social and mental position, we should
naturally accepttheautiquity of her
clothes as a ceitiflcate of inferiority.
At the same time, this fact in no way
diminishes the ability of old clothes to
confer a happy-go-lucky mood upon the
wearer, who is not obliged to mind his
p's and q'B for fear of ruffling his plum
age. Bazar.
Fashion Notes.
Grenadines and all tissuo fabrics are
made with a low waist lining.
The prominent features of the new
basque aro the combination proportions.
Upturned pleats are still admired in
the arranging of draperies of all kinds.
Lisle thread gloves for gentlemen and
ladies are preferred for summer wear.
Deep collars aud tiny capes give a
novel and somewhat dressy effect to the
toilet.
A handsome " wrap" for tho shoulder
cau be formed of silk, luce, gauze, and
tissue.
A noticeablechange has been instituted
in the formation of drapery. This searf
like transition alludes more particularly
to light suits.
Lace mitts and long lace gloves, of
bright and pale dyes, are much admired
for full toilets. Lace mitts are also worn
on the promenade.
Shoulder drapery gives a classical fin
ish to a prinoesse (tress. These shoulder
garnitures are called " wraps," and are
represented in mode goods.
Etruscun jewelry is very popular.
Jewelry enameled in imitation of Ilindoo
ideas is pretty. Plain carved gold is much
worn. Chatelaines are fashionable for
dressy occasions.
Velvet bands, with clasp and fringed
ends of silver and gold, or simply tied in
a pretty bow, are much worn.
One of the daintiest and most becom
ing seasonable toilets is either lawn or
muslin. Some of the patterns and the
delicacy of designs are positively poeti
cal attractions, so far as expression of
dress can be displayed. The self-garnitures,
combined with lace edgings, con
stitute the chief embellishments.

The Amount of Money to be Expended
Persons who have bad little experience as advertisers,
often have a pretty olear anderatandina of what they
would like to do, but are entirely iguurantof tha pro.
bstile ooat.
We have made out for such person a plan of advar.
t sitiK oaliinn for sn investment of W,iH, and on sub
unit ma: it fur approval found our customer dismsyad
at tha magnitude of the expense, he not hsving contem
plated an eipenriiture oioeeding $'jm or iji.'Viu. In such
a ova labor would have been saved, it at the com.
mnncrment of the negotiation tlie question had been
asked : " Aow much money are yon prepared to devote
to this advertising 1"
The Confidence of Our Patrons a
Matter of Prime Importance.
It is a matter of prima importance to us, for tbe
f urposeof maintaining onr influence with publishers,
hat it shall come to lie understood among them tbat
our statements abont the advertising to be done, or not
to t e done, are to be relied upon, and to this and our
dealing with our advertimng patrons must be upon
a baau of mutual oonhdenoe and good faith.
Our Cuitomers Entitled to Our Best
Services.
Whenever we are doing the advertising for any
individual, or firm, we oonsider then entitled to our
best servioes. If they suggeat using a paper which we
know to be not the beat for the purpose, ae say so and
give the reasons. We otten expend a good deal of
tune for very small advertiasrs, much more than the
profits on their patronage would warrant : but wa are
oonlent, as they entrust to us what they have to dis
perse, snd lufluence in our direction the patronage of
their friends and acquaintances.
