HOW THE HEATHEN SEES US. American and Chinese Customs Contrasted—Wah Hing says the Chinese are not Idola ters—the Missionary's Game. From the Chicago Herald. A Herald representative lately rode from Chicago to St. Louis in company with Wah Hing, a Chinese student, who is en route from an eastern college to his oriental home, the orient being west nowadays. Mr. Wah is a de lightful little gentleman, who per mitted the reporter to give his curiosity full swing and answered his questions with a gravity that made him feel somewhat abashed. 'How do you Chinamen tell each other apart ? You all look alike to me." 'Ah, that is not strange. When I first came to America I could not get acquainted with many, for everybody looked like everybody else. Especially did the women bother me. I suppose it was because the general appearance of their dress was more similar than that of the men. But I had trouble in identifying men. I think, perhaps, the same is true of all people. Ne groes still look like each other to me; and I am almost sure I never could learn to tell Indians apart. Don't you think it takes a goodj while for a per son to overcome the tendency to look at new things in too general a way ? Now, babes all look alike to me, even those of my own nationality. I think when you have become acquainted with a few Chinese persons you will cease to look at their yellow skins and almond eyes and long hair as the only features worth seeing.' 'Tell me, Mr. Wah, or Mr. Hing, which is your family name?' 'Wah is my family name. Hing is my given name—what you would call my Christian name.' 'Why do you Chinese have your names upside down ?' 'We don't; it is you whose name is backward. What was your name when you were born ?' 'Blunt.' 'Well, when did you get your other name ?' 'About three months afterward, I suppose.' 'Then why do you place the one got last ahead of the one you got first ?' 'Gracious,' mentally ejaculated the reporter, 'are the heathens coming over here to give us a reason for everything they do ? If they are I don't wish to argue these cases with them ?' 'Yes', continued Mr. Wah, 'you A mericans are a sort of wrong-end-up people in more ways than one, judged from a Chinese point of view. When it is day in China it is night here. When we are walking about with our heads up you are sticking to the under side of the earth like flies on a ceiling. Nature seems to have intended to have us in a direct contrast with you, and so most of our customs are reversed. Your boys do all the playing, and your old men are quiet and sedate. In China the old men fly the kites and play the games and the boys stand and look on. Here you have abomi nably hot dinners and freezing cold wines. At home our wines are served hot and our big dinners cold. When you meet an American he takes off his hat; when you meet a bare-headed Chinaman he will cover his head as quickly as possible. When you salute a friend here you shake his hand and squeeze it, perhaps, until it hurts him. I don't wonder your handicraftsmen are not as cunning with their fingers as the Chinese; they have all the delicacy squeezed out of them by shaking hands in this barbarous fashion of yours. In China we salute a friend by shaking one of our own hands in the other, and we are very careful not to squeeze it until the fingers stick together, as you Amei'cans sometimes do. In your art, too, I notice that you think only of perspective ; in Chinese art there is hardly a thought of perspective. We make figures without distance, you make distance without figures.' 'ls there any such thing as music in China ?' 'Oh, yes, we have some excellent music ; but you could not appreciate it until you had learned our language. There is a very close connection be tween language and music. Before I learned your language your music was simply a jumbling of deafening noise in my ears. The first piano I heard in San Francisco nearly drove out my wits, and when I heard a brass band I wondered that the law suffered such an unmusical mob to walk in the streets. Now that I know the language, I like the music of this country and Europe and can play a little on the piano. But still a Chinese orchestra is better, I think, though you would probably think it made only a very poor quality of racket.' 'Are the Chinese idolaters ?' 'Certainly M>t. The Buddhistic re ligion is very much like the Christian, except that it is a good deal older and has suffered the priests to ring in a few more superstitions. The Confucian re ligion is really only a code of morals. By the way, Confucius lived five cen turies before Christ, and taught just about the same things. Might not some of the Christian ministers defend thoir plagiaristic practices by referring to Christ's golden rule, which was al most identical to the word with the gol den rule of Confucius—'Whatsoever ye would not that men do unto you do ye not so unto them'? Takeout the 'not'and you have the Christian text. Now, as for idolatry, I can tell you where that idea came from. In almost every house in China there haugs a picture of an old man and a young child. The one national wish of China is to be as wise as age and as innocent*as infancy. Instead o( the morning prayers that Christian families have, the Chinese bow before these pictures and renew their resolutions for another day. Missionaries who don't object to being pretty well paid go to China and send back word that this is idola try. Kven Catholics, who kneel be fore their crucifix and call it holy, de- Clare us idolaters because we bow be fore an embleru of wisdom and inno cence. In some parts of China there are temples with stone or metal god 3 in them, but those gods are no more sacred than the statues of Christ or the paintings of Mary in many an American church. They are represen tations of an idea, that is all. 'Speaking of religious, I must tell you what I thought of America when I first came here. Hiding on the rail road, I noticed crosses stuck in the ground every few rods beside the track. They were held in place by wires that ran from one to another; though I supposed, of course, that they were re ligious emblems until I learned that they were telegraph poles with cross arms for the wires. 'I wrote home some wonderful things about this country when I first came here. As we were coming through lowa the train was stopped at a little bridge over a creek, and the engineer went down and found a girl baby in the water. lat once wrote home that Americans had a barbarous habit of drowning their surplus female children. Not long after that I heard for the first time that some such story bad gained currency in America about China. I suppose it started in somewhat the same manner.' 'ls it true, Mr. Wah, that the Chinese give away their babies ?' 'lt is just as true as that they drown them. No, they do not eive them away. I suppose that story started from the fact that Chinese mothers very often change babies for weekS and months at a time. You know they be gin training children there almost as soon as they are born; and as there are no schools for infants the mothers trade babies, because it is a well-es tablished fact that a mother's love blinds her to the faults of her own chil dren which others can plainly soe. Then, too, the child is apt to have the same faults as the mother, and you know we do not see oar own faults as others see them.' State, Press Notes. —The Catawissa A/eics-Item says the ten dollars a day which Legislator Hines draws is wasted on a dollar and a half man. —The Indiana Messenger thinks the over-flowing State Treasury will cheer the hearts of the ten-dollar Leg ißlatu r e for some time yet. —The Williamsport Qazette and Bulletin wants to know if Chairman Ilensel proposes to assess the Demo cratic Governor and teu-dollar-a-day legislators for campaign funds this year. —The Pittsburgh Dispatch is of the opinion that for a good fat sinecure the position of members of the Pennsyl vania Legislature in this year of our Lord is equaled by few and excelled by none. —Chairman Hensel's Lancaster In telligencer is advising the Democrats not to yield another inch in the mat ter of apportionment, but if they can get no concessions from the Senate to adjourn and relegate the matter to the peopte to decide. IIARRISBURO, August 10—The House met and adjourned until Monday eve ning. No business was transacted, owing to a want of a quorum. The Republican Senators had a grand jubi lation last night over the breaking away of Coxe and the others, and it is freely predicted that the Legislature will get away on Tuesday, August 21st, the day set in the Senate resolu tion for final adjournment, but the Governor may throw a bombshell into camp by vetoing the appropriation bill on the ground of no work no pay. Should he do this the average Legisla tor who has sat not exceeding three hours per day during three days in the week would get little sympathy. —The Philadelphia Record tersely suggests that those representatives in the Legislature who find it impossible, in consequence of party fealty, to obey the mandate of the Constitution re quiring them to apportion the State into districts should resign their places. This is the only way to honorably es cape the performance of an oath-bound duty. —Mr Frederick Singer, Slackwater, Pa., says: "I had dyspepsia for six years. I used Brown's Iron Bitters and felt immediate relief." There are nearly six thousand Americans residing in Paris. Even when trade is rather dull in other lines, there is generally a bustle in dry goods stores. —Mrs. Zachariah Chandler, of Mich igan, is now living in Maine with her daughter, Senator Hale's wife. |CgTTast, brilliant and fashionable are the Diamond Dye colors.

Peruna. This medii-ino was introduced to the medical profession and to the pub lic at large by S. B. Ilartman, M. IV, in 1877, after he had prescribed it to over 40,000 patients in almost every disease to which flesh is heir. It wholly composed of numerous vegetable ingredients, each one of which is acknowledged by the medical profession to be the most potent of all the herbal remedies known to medical science. But its grate virtue is mainly attri butable to the new and peculiar pro portions in which the harmonious in gredients are combined, and to the ex treme cave exercised in its manufac ture, using only the pure, active prin ciples, and excluding all that is crude or irritating.
