Most of tlio inhabitants of Chinatown
re followers of cither l'udilha or Con
fucius, or both. The endeavors of Dr.
Hall and other prominent divines to in
terest the Chinese population in the
American Suuday-srhool nnd church sys
tem have been attended by such remark
able success that at lc:iat one-quarter of
tho 4,000 Chinese in New York and
vicinity are attendants at some American
place of worship.
A pood Buddhist may Indulge to an
unlimited extent in fan tan (or Chineso
faro), policy and opium without losing
caste. Christianized Chinese, on the
other hand, drop theso vices the moment
they are converted, and make war upon
the classes who protit by them. Tho
pamblers, joint-keepers and opium deal
ers of Mott street are, therefore, pood
orthodox Buddhists, and do everything
in their power to keep up the native
faiths and to prevent proselyting by
Christian ministers and missionaries.
To counteract the work done in the past
fall and -winter by Dr. Hall and others,
there has been what may be termed a
revival in Chinatown. Excursions have
been mado to Belleville, N. J., where is
the only joss-house cast of the Kocky
mountains.
The latest move in this odd warfare is
the holding of niuivo services in Mott
street which are largely attended.
The Sunday evening exercises at 16
Mott street are held in the club-rooms,
which are appropriately decorated. Mot
toes, banners and gay cards ornament the
walls. Portraits or symbolic pictures of
various josses or spiritual powers are
hung in handsome frames or rolled upon
dark wooden rollers. By the wall at
one end of the room stands a large table
covered with an exquisite silk cover em
broidered in colors and gold bullion. In
front of tho table on the floor were heavy
knee mats and cushions for the devout to
kneel upon in their prayers. Last Sun
day about thirty persons were present, of
whom nearly all are old residents of New
York. Tho priests and worshipers
were engaged in tho unreligious task
of eating dried watermelon seeds.
In a short time two attendants
' brought in largo trays containing sacri
ficial goods and utensils. Everything
was arranged in triplicate, the services
being in honor of the distinguished
josses Lew, Kwan and Jon. There were
three pairs of chopsticks, three cups,
three saucers, three bowls, three plates,
three spoons, and many other triplets.
Three immenso candlesticks of fantastic
pattern, each containing a candle which
in size, shape and color looked like a
boiled beet, were then placed on the
table and the candles lighted. A large
bonze urn, eighteen inches high, filled
with fine white sand, was then placed in
front of the candlesticks and the sacri
ficial wares arranged in irregular lines.
The priest turned to tho audience and
extended his hand. All arose and ad
justed their queues, robes and hats. The
priest walked over to tho praying-mats,
and stood upon tho one nearest the mid
die of the table. An attendant handed
him a pot of hot tea, which ho took and
with which he filled the three teacups
ou tho table. lie then knelt and made
three bows, to the west, north and east,
and thereupon from each cup spilled a
few drops of tea upon tho floor before
each of the three divinities. The second
attendant brought a delicate porcelain
pitcher of orange-wine with which tho
priest wont through the same cere
mony as with the tea. He
then from a lacquered tray
lifted a handful of joss-sticks, which
after igniting he inserted in the white
sand of the bronze urn. From these a
thick cloud of dense aromatic smoke
rose during the remainder of the cere
mony and filled the rooms until all
teemed to be in a thin, gray mist. Ho
then saluted the three divinities each
three times and then blessed the congre
gation, lie next proceeded t o "lay up
treasure in heaven" by burning imitation
money in a chating dish. This money
comprised trade and Mexican dollars cut
out of dilver tinsel, American eagles,
Chinese ccins and ingots from gold tin
sel and miniature imitations of green
backs. Again more bows and blessings.
When the last V had been consumed an
elder of the congregation came forward
and handed the priest a bundle of strips
of red paper on which were written the
prayers of those pieseut and of friends
unable to attend. These followed
the fate of the burned money.
During its combustion tho priest again
knelt and bowed so vigorously that his
forehead struck the floor several times
with considerable violence. ' Rising ho
turned, biessea the congregation, ami
going across the room joined them.
They then, one by one, proceeded to the
place he had vacated, knelt, bowed and
saluted in about the same manner. hen
the reporter left about twenty had gone
tnrougu the cereinonv. I wo hours ai.
terwurd the priest was assisting the
proprietor of a neighboring saloon in
violating the excise law, and nearly, if
not quite all, of the congreg.ition were
gambling in adjacent fan tau saloons.
An illustration of tho changes cllected
by the Chinese missions is in the diminu
tion in the number of and more espec
ially in the business done by the u'am-
bling houses and joints of Chinatown.
I here are now but eighteen of the
former and two of tho latter where two
years ago there were respectively thirty
five and twenty. 'vnj Chin Foo, in

Red Pepper and Salt for Cholera.
A Massachusetts correspondent calls
our attention to the publication, about
thirty years ago. of a very successful
cholera cure, i.itioihicei in this way:
The captain of an emigrant ship, coming
from Kuiope, had lost many of his pas
sengers by cholera, although freely
dooiug all who wye sick with tiie reme
dies then usual. At lust he made a pre
scription of his own one teuspoouful
of red pepper and a tubhspoouful of
salt to a half pint of boiling water; this
to be given as hot as possible, to every
patient w hen first taken. It is uaid lha'l
this umplo remedy utted us a charm,
cuiiugullthe cases on board that fehip,
aud attaining considerable general popu
larity during the tiu,e of that" choleia
viaitatiok. Scientific Amtrian.

Joseffy, the pianist, practices hours
daily upon a dumb pmno, and Von
Bulow carries one with him in his travels
to keep up his practice, and Liszt is said
to use ono assiduously. The object of
substituting a silent instrument, which
is said to be growing in favor with musi
cian?, is to subordinate the sense of
hearing in practice, and to protect the
player from the nervous fatigue produced
by the. use- of that sense, at the same
time that the senses of sight and touch
are employed. A skilled musician said
recently that the exhaustion from practis
ing upon a pinno was greater than most
persons imagined, lie doubted whother
a street paver was as much exhausted by
a day's labor as a man who is obliged to
practise all tho afternoon. lie favored
the use of a piano that mado no noiso.
He had heard a physician say that the
nervous headaches of young women in
musical conservatories were largely due
to the din of practice, and it was
often thought that this noise impaired
tho musical sense. Tho mute piano
makes tho performer depend upon his eye
and his touch, and enforces more atten
tion to tho score, so that ho will bo able
to get a notion of the music upon sight
reading. inere are some mute pianos
in New York and several in Boston. The
first one sent to this country came from
Weimar, and after the model of this ono
others were constructed. The mute
piano has a full keyboard, and has the
appearance of an ordinary piano, but
there is neither sounding board nor
strings within the instrument. The
keys are weighted with lead, and pro
vided with springs which cause them to
quickly go back to their places when
touched. The tension may be regulated
bo as to correspond with the piano to be
used for playing the music with sounds.
Then the touch need not be varied, and
the Bounding piano need not be used ex
cept to correct errors in the shading of
notes. It is further claimed that it
is economy to uso a mute piano, as an
expert will play havoc with a good
piano in two or threo years' hard prac
tice. The muscular and nervous strength
required in modern exhibition piano play
ing is surprisingly great. Faellen, of Bal
timore, has so worked upon the muscles
of his fingers as to bo ablo to surprise
his acquaintances with feats of digital
strength and nerve. Carrero, with a
very small hand, can crush the finger of
a strong man without moving her arm.
This power comes from long practice,
which to the devotee is limited only by
endurance, and it is expected that the
muto piano will increase practice, and
accordingly develop more brilliant and
difficult piano playing. The instruments
are inexpensive, but are made only when
ordered. A piano manufacturer says
that they should not cost over $25 or $30,
as one can easily be made out of a cast
oil instrument, Saturday Ecening Herald.
A Dog's Fight for Life with Ravens.
The Echo de la Frontiers recently cave
an account of a remarkable occurrence
in that part of the country. It was to
the effect that some ravens that were
starving during the snowy weather of
January had pounced upon a dog and
devoured him. Wishing to assure our
selves of the truth of the statement, we
wrote directly to tho superintendent of
the Saint Albert glassworks, who, at
our request, kindly gave us some accur
ate data upon the subject. We repro
duce a portion of his letter:
My dog, which was a long-haired
Scotch terrier, was playing with some
other dogs in a field adjoining the
works, when he was attacked by some
ravens that were doubtless famished.
He was about two hundred feet from the
building, when the workmen saw him
surrounded by the birds. There were
at least a hundred of the lat
ter in the field, but only about
thirty of them had attacked, him.
Theso at first surrounded him on every
side, but soon divided into two bands.
Some flow in front of the dog, other be
hind him, pushing him forward. Those
in front of him rose to a height of about
six feet and then swooped down upon
him, and always struck him in the same
place. Tho dog, which had at first tried
to defend himself, endeavored to escape,
but the ravens in front and behind pre
vented him, and kept continually lacer
ating him with their bills. They had
put out ono of his eyes, had made a deep
wound in his neck, and would certainly
have picked him to pieces upon the spot
had not a boy of the establishment been
sent to his relief by the workmen.
AVhen tho dog was picked up, the ra
vens, far from flying away, remained
near the earth, rather aggressive than
timorous. They remained for some time
whence their prev had been taken, while
tho boy ran to the works with the poor
old faithful dog, which had to be killed
two days afterward, on account of his
wounds. 1M Nature, France.
A Buddhist Temple in New York.
A New York letter discloses the curi
ous fact that there is in that city 'a con
gregation of Buddhists who worship in
w hat I suppose must be called by cour
tesy a Buddhist temple in the eighth
ward. The temple is a small, dingy,
old two-story brick house, distinguished
from houses in the vicinity only by a
huge B on a silver door plate. Some
years ago a woman named Blavatsky,
the same who is now in India, where as
she claims, she is working miracles,
visited New York to make converts to
Buddhism. I was taken to her apart
ments once by an incipient Buddhist
and duly rega'el with an unlimited
quantity of tea and a pipe: the old
woman herself "swilling lea," as Dick
ens would say, and pulling away at an
old clay pipe all tho time 1 was there. I
frequently visited thu remarkable mis'
sionary, but the never succeeded in con
verting me. All she succeeded in dping
with me was to induce nie, just before
she left for India, to buy of her a stiulled
alligator, which her converts had, been
taught to regard with religious awe, but
winch she had no compunction is dispos
ing of to a lieu-tic. 1 presume that the
maall Buddhist congregation is one of
the tesults of her sojourn here. I'eihapi
tho temple in the eighth ward is adorned
with a stuffed monkey which I end not
purchase because I thought th4 price I
paid lor the alligator would more
than compensate Madame Blavatsky for
the tea and tul.acco (both first class) she
una wasted on me."
