then, through the, command of the
stern and irascible old Pope, Julius 11,

is not nnfrequently resorted to by, beg-.
gars, when with sound eyes they can
not earn a livelihood. I They will some
times blind their children In early, life, ,
by means of lime, or by puncturing the
eyes with a toanse needle. The follow-
'
ing plan is' towever the Most extraor
dinary one that has been met with.—
Four men were - seen one day crawling
on their hands and knees, having lo s t.
theirlegs a few inches be low the knee.
Theyasserted that their eight legs had
all! been burned of? in a fire. But it
was ascertained that iii the southern
part of the province. of Shansung beg
gars have their legs taken off by a pro
fessional beggar-surgedn ; his plan be
ing to tie ,a piece of thin string around
the middle Of the calf, drawing it closer
day by day, till mortification of the
loWer limb ensues. After a while the
bone. is exposed, sawed through,' the
**end closed up, and the beggars sent
ferth, amidst the congratulations of
their friend's, as in a fair way to obtain
a beggar's fortune. Numbers however
sink under the tortures of the tedious
operation. Devices which remind one
of Western rogues are sometimes rasor
ted to. .
Mr. Cobbold, who was forMerly a
'Missionary in Niugpo, in his very en
tertaining book, ',Pictures of the,Chi

own.. A man came to his house with
his wrist fearfully wounded-hacked

amputation, A Buddhist priest was
engaged as nurse; the surgeon set to
work to remove • the bandage ; the pa
tient shrieked in a becoming manner;
-roll after roll of the bandage was re
moved, until at last the wrist was dis
closed, perfectly sound and whole. So
, An ._
geniously was ,the .imposture contri
ved, that it thus at first deceived-even
the practical eye of a foreign surgeon.
• There is a large division In the beg
gar host whose character is low even iu
the estimation of their friends. They.,
have mostly ,been thieves in former
days, and though set at liberty, they yet
carry the badges of their crimes about
with them, whether as a punishment,
as a sign of penitence, or as a means of
exciting compassion, the writer is not
prepared to,say. They are called "man
darin beggars." Some wear a. very,
small wooden collar, . a model of the
Caugue borne by convicted thieves in
the streets. Others carry a heavy stone,
on their' shoulders from morning till
night, their crimes being ,greater than
.thefirst. class. -Others, , again, have a
Idayy iron spear padlocked to their foot
. and shoulder. These are chiefly. men

Canadian Winter'Sp 'rt " .

• Of the richer-classes of Canada, •It is
wenknown that a set 'of people more
capable of enjoying theniselves does '
not WO. Yet few' mere tourists have
a chance of seeing them at their gaYest.
When the cold is most keen and the
wind outs like a knife; when the great
Canadian river is turned into amass of
joined icebergs, and Is no longer-an easy
highway from thelakes' to the ocean ;
IVltert the Grand Trunk .railway, that ,

and its trains are breaking

lii every large town, t e
temple of jollity is the strati g rink.— ,
In summer, this building lo ks merely
an immense wooden shed, ery:dt eery
and uninviting. But in w ter, when _
it is floored With smooth ice, and its
,walls are kiting with flags and other-
wise cunningly decorated, when it is
brilliantly lit up at' night and filled
with bright faces and gay dresses, the
shed is transformed and beeoineS a fairy '
palace,' However deep the snow may
have fallen o drifted outside; there is
good skatingV. all times, within ; and
in ail) evenin s the rink is the scene of
the most picturesque Canadiad festivi
ties. Montreal people fell you that,
when you have seen a fancy ball in
their rink, you May at any moment dle
In Contentment. In Canada, skating is
more than a mere pasiime ; it is a seri
ous business, one of the trials of life, i ,
one of the tests of personal merit, and
offers one of the moat conspicuous fields
for the winning of honor and renown.
Thus Canadians will say of some belle.;
I whose claims to distinction they wish 1
to uphold, " She may not be ai pretty
as A—, nor as pleasing in manner as
B--, but her skating is perfectr br ,
of some beau, "He is'nt handsome,
and he is'nt agreeable; but you should
Just see him waltz upon skates !" 'Be
side Mcating an d an extraordinary
amount of dancing, the sleigh and "to
boggin" play a great part in the amuse
meats of a Canadian winter. Boston
is called the headquarters of sleighing
for the whole of the continent; but
though the equipages may not be in
such throngs, or so grand. anywhere in .
Canada, as on the famed "Brighton
Road" of the Bostonians, onn keen and '
clear afternoon, still.sleiging in Cana
sla is not only the chief means of loco- :
motioh for half Of the year, but the
foremost among occasions for sociabil
ity, the most successful. of match-ma
kers, the most characteristic amuse
ment of the country. Nothing can roll
Upon wheels in a Canadian winter—
everything_glides upon runners, to the'
music of tinkling bells. And then is'
the time of " muflins ;" that is, whey a
1.112;t2, n-railing liiinself ol4he custom of '
the country, has secured a young lady
for the season, to share with him his .
sleigh-driving and other of the nation
al amusements, in Canadian phrase she
is called his " intiffin." The' origin of
the term seems to be.wrapped hfobseu
rity i Canadians will not address them
selves in earnest to itsjinvestigation ;
an\d, no more serious suggestion can be
gOt from them, than that the things
may have been so called " because fel- .
lers are always burning their fingers
with them."
Of the sport of " toboggining," ono.
of the most curious points is the great=
ness of its celebrity in Canada, contras
ted with'the almost absolute igibirance
of its name beyond the frontier.—`,i A
toboggin," says a late work upon Can
ada by a Canadian, " IS' a light Indian .
steigh,•made of very thin wood, curled -
over in front, and ustd chiefly by_ plea
sure parties in sliding down hillsides
covered with crusted but lightly packed
snow." A toboggin is made to hold at
least two person's, and as, in'the prac
tice of the sp9rt. these two persons are
usually of ditfei V ent sexes, some light is '
thUs thrown uptiti the great esteem in
Which it is field by Capadians. The -
sitter in the back scat of the toboggin
steers, with his hand. AnY want of
care or skill on his' part, is pretty sure-'
to lead to an upset. However, as the
'Sleigh Is light, and the • selected snow ,
bank probably not very hard, such-up-
sets are only the occasions for more _
merriment, and , zonietiunea do good ser- -,
vice by calling fortli-the talent of sore

miniature sleigh, and slide (1(44 at full
speed, gaining a velociy Which some
times carries them, i , is titid, half
