JL MEXICAN FARM. Life at n ITaclcndn In Mexico. A week's visit at the hacienda of Tepenacasco proved one of the moEt agreeable experiences of my whole tour. The hour* was approached from the main road by a long lane through fields of the purple-flowering alfalfa, a larger and hardier clover; past a dark-walled corral, or cattle-yard; a very long, steep roofed barracks for laborers' quarters; and by a pond embowered in willows. From a distance, with its numerous outbuildings.it had the appearance of a dncnl residence. It is plainer when reached, the tpace immediately in front having ft farm-yard appearance, and containing in the center a very large stone threshing floor of the kind in which it is customary to thresh out grain, just as in the patios, by troops of running horses. It is of rubble stone, plastered and neatly whitewashed; a single liberal story in height,the part de votod to the residence having large windows, covered with gratings and a belfry on top. To this are added, cn the flanks, such a collection of granaries and corrals that a facade is made of prcbably sir hundred feet in length. Seme fonts pioject from the wall beside a door opening to the family chapel. Over tho maiD entrance-door is an inscription : " En aquesth destirro y solednd disfruto del tetoro de la paz." (In this retirement and solitnde I enjoy the treasure of peace.) Each principal gTanary or barn (called troje) is inscribed also with its title. They are bnilt to keep th6 contents cool aud of an even temperature, with walls of great thickness. Buttressed without, and with columns or piers of a yard square running down the center of the long, dim interiors, they are more like basilicas of the early Christians than one's preconceived idoi of a barn. The buildings in the central clump, not counting those detached, cover alone between four and five acres of ground. The estate of which they are the focal poin is eighteen miles in one dimension by six in the other, aud contains not less than forty thousand acres. There aro seventeen hundred Lead of neat cattle, and other things in proportion. On the pay-roll, in the week in which I was privileged to witness the operations, were laborers to the extent of eighteen hundred and fifty, men and boj3. I confess to tho fondness for country life, and with such a novel domain to explore, cne must be difficult indeed not to bo pleased. One day we mounted on horseback to go to visit the 1- ?1 UUi TiilB, WL1CXU l uu auiuidio aro kept at night according to their changes of pasture; another, to the Ojo de Agna, a lovely spring, made mention of by Humboldt; again, to examine the different crops; again, to various white hamlets that, like the city of Tulancingo, farther in the distance, dot the plain. At Acatlan is a most charming dark old ruined convent, with the green bronze bells yet hanging in the steeple. One day the househo d ensconced itself in a large wagon covered with willow boughs, and we drove to Zupitlan, a ruined hacienda, church, and hamlet on the estate itself, and held a picnic. A high grassy hill, the Cerro, behind the house, affords wide views. We are in the midst of a level valley, with gently sloping mountains on all the boundaries. The leading crops are maize barley and maguey. The lachiquero goes around every day, with its donkey earning wino skins, collecting the swtet sap from the maguey to make the pulque. He pours it into vats of skin in his department to ferment, treats it in his jracticed way for a fortnight or more, and then it is ready for sale. We beo sometimes forty plow men como in and unyoke their teams of an evening. T&e agricultural implements of the larger 6ort in use are American, but plows, spades, picks and the like are manufactured at Apulco, near by, more cheaply. There are interesting homemade wcoden (crks and shovels yet remaining. Among the rest the veritable Egyptian plow of wood, with but an iron point, is much more in use tfcan the modern sort. And for its purpose of turning shallow farrows and plowing between the rows of maize it appears, to tell the truth, not ill adapted. The ground is treated by irrigation, no less than eleven large dams, one of them creating a lake two miles long, being formed for this purpose. The portions of land used for cultivation are taken irregularly in various parts of the estate, according to their proximity to these. Euch has itR name, as Las inimas, San Antonio the Larger, San Antonio the Less. Bnt it is a grazing country, and the chief industries are the raising of animals and the making of butter and cheese. The greater part of ?the cattle are hornlesp, which is effected by a Bimple process of staring tho tender horn when sprouting, after which it does not increase. The idea is worth attention by American farmers and those who have to do with the trans. portation cf cattle. The calf here remains with its mother under all circumstances. It i* a quaint sight) at milkingtime to see it lassoed fast to its mother, whose hindlegs aro also lassoed, waiting by no means patently the conclusion of the ceremony. Each of the departments is under the command of its own chief, and an accurate supervision and record is made of tho whole. The bookkeeper, "Don Angel," a taciturn young can, native of old Spain, with a talent for minutiae, tills out weekly, ?n a blank form, a statement going into the closest detail. For keeping the tally of revenues which amount to 820,000 a /ear his own salary is $400 " and fonnd." Tho administrator, "Don Kafael," is paid $1,000, and has, besides, various lands and cas-itas of his own?a person of substance, in fact. He is a steady-goiDg man of middle age, with a prominent scar on his forehead. I imagined some interesting story. No, he said it was got in breaking a vicious horse. A sensible man lets fighting alone; there are enough at that already. The Americans have excellent ideas. They all woik; all wish to improve and make money. Without money a person might as well take himself off to the cemetery at once. The butter and cheese making is under control of " Don Dasiel." He is a large, handsome youug man, with ro3y cheeks, coal-black Lair and beard, and excellent teeth?a picture of health. He is of a lively turn withal, assembles aronnd him congenial spirits, and the strumming of a guitar and such choruses as, "Amarillo si, amarillo no, Amarilla v verJo me lo pinto," may be heard from his room long after the sedate and tho fatigued have gone to bed. An* tber inmate of the household is a youth of eighteen, a very voluble young person, Salvudor, who proffers himself often as a guide. He is a cadet learning the business of conducting a hacienda; or, as some think, a young ecapegrace of good connections put here to be kept out of miichief. Outside the household are the mayordomoandthe sobrcealiente, chief aids of Don Rafirl; the jiastero, who looks after tho pastures; the caporal, who has principal charge of tho ttock. These are officials of a humble order, dark, blanketed men, bandit looking enough on bom-back, but in reality as gentle as need be wished for. The peons or day-laborers livo in about as poor a condition as the Irish peasants ?except for having the advantage iu climate?receive from six to tmrtyseven cents a day for their labor, and seem without either chance or ambition to better themselves. There is a prison room at the mansion, where one is occasionally locked up for a couple of days. Not that it is permitted by Jaw, but "they are not civilizated," as the proprietor explains, in English which still leaves something to be desired. Nobody makes any disturbance abont it, and otherwise they would not work." The family epends a small portion of tho year here, in an informal style of liviDg. Sel-vants and all call the young mistress Choiita, a diminutive of her name, Soledad. There is no expectation "bf receiving or paying visits in the neighborhood. Social life, owing to the distances and the scarcity of neighbors, does not exist. It must have been * 1 ? 3 ' ?r* A mnvmrn jonety maeeu juriuu juuuj girl who had been employed as goveimssof small children in the adjoinii g hacienda shortly before.

The old furniture, of thestyle of the FiretEmpire,would command a premium from bric-a-brac dealers. The rooms are large and finely proportioned. There are an octagon . chamber, with beds in columned niches and another haying thebedrai6rd upon a platform of highly palatial effect. J The first proprietor is said to have been | a man, finally ruined by his extravaJ gance, who had half Tulancingo at his | table; and if he were inspired by a sudI den notion to go to tho capital, one i hundred and thirty miles, say, distant, he rode iiis horses till they dropped dead under him.? IF. H. bishop, in Harper s Magazine. The Mack Chinese of <;;e Nan Shan j Mountains. A correspondent cf tho Chinese i Mail writes: I re-cmeied Kan-chou ' Fu, havinp been away twelve days iD i tho Nan Shan mountains, and having ! learned that the people called by the I Chineso yellow or Whuang Fan-tze, ! arc Iv themselves called Oigours J (Mongols), and the black or Tier Fan- j tze are called by the Oigours Tan gut- i tas, or Tansrouths.

As to marriage tho girls are usually given to young men of their own choosing, but tho bridegroom must pay handsomely for his wife. A marriage arrangement was made the other day thus: A chief's daughter, about eighteen years old, was promised to a ycuug man, who promised to give the chief, his future father-in-law, ten brood mares, fifty cows, 150 cheep and ten pieces of woolen cloth; twice that amount was asked by the chief, but tho matter was Talked 1 down, over buttered tea and tsamba, to 1 the above tune A Llama priest married a wife a ytar ago in his brother's name; the youn ? woman gave birth to a sou and her parents claimed the said son as theirs as he bad not been bargained for in the contract; the priest was then persuaded 1 to give up the boy, much against his will; his wife has since died without j giving birth to another child, and the priest instituted a lawsuit for therecov- j j ery of the said boy, which the parents of the woman refuse to give up on any account. Poor boy 1 The Si-fan priests and womer aro dressed in a single gar- j ment, of coareo serge, reaching from tho shoulder to the knee, and generally eked out with a pair of coarse leather boots; the garment is double breasted, and is fastened around tho waist by a strong leather girdle, from which are suspended several things, such as a fcnifo, chopsticks, bits of copper, brass and agato, and above the girdle a wooden bowl is carried for inilk, tea and tsamba. The Fan-izo live principally on milk, butter, tea and black barley meal, or tsamba, but they eat any kind of flesh eagerly, excepting fish; they are exceedingly fond of whisky, which they call arrack, like tho Indians and Kashgarians. They salute each other with a bow and the bands placed palms together, and fingers extended forward; they also put cut the tongue, like tho Thibetans, j and they worship all sorts of painted j pictures of women nearly naked.

There are some people who arc so | i quarrelsome that if they had two ideas j j in their head at tho same time they i j would fall out with each other. Most of us know something about | ' tho discipline of poverty, and feel I | quite ready to experience some of the j j awful responsibilities of weaitu. In the voyage of life we should imi- ; ' tate the ancient manners, who, without I I losing fi2iit of the earth, trusted to the j | heavenly signs for their guidance. Truth can hardly be expected to I adapt herself to the crooked policy and ! j wily sinuosities of worldly affaiis, for J | truth, like light, travels only in straight lines.

After figuring on the value a few minutes?during which time a customer in a big overcoat entered and looked at, but did not buy, some sleeve j buttons ? the colonel presented the I check for the amoui t due on the dia5 monds. The lady in charge of the shop I refused to take the check and he said | he would go and draw the money himj self, which he did, leaving the bag in I charge of the la-ly.

' In his recent lecture in New York j city Bob Burdette, the Burlington | (Iowa) journalist, made a sensation by j his allutuns to Bob Iugersoll.

Tha memorial Berrices ordorod by Congress commemorating tho life and public services of tho lato President Garfiold were held in the hall of the Houbo of Representatives. Prior to 10 o'clock a. m. admission to the capitol was refus3d to all Bave i members of the two Houbob of Congress and their employes, but at that hour the doors were thrown open to persons fortunate onough to hold ticUcta to the memorial services to tho lato President Garfield, and before 1 half an hour had passod tho galleries of tho House wero filled to tlioir utmost capacity. The large majority of tho spectators were ladies, 1 who, out of respect to tho occasion, had for tho most part discarded bright colors, and a somber black was the prevailing huo of their costumes. There were no signs of mourning in tho hall. Tho fnll-length portrait of tho lato President waa hung just back of the chairs of the presiding officers, beinu itself undraped. The three front rows of (leaks in the chamber bad been removed and their places occupied by a largo number of chairs to accommodate tho invited guests. The Representatives wore early in attundanco, all boing arrayed in black, and a low appearing in full evening dress. In tho lobby, back of tho speaker's desk, the marino band was stattonod, and lrom 10 o'clock until noon it wliiled away tho toditim of the passing hours by bursts of solemn music. At 11:30 a. m.

At precisely 12 o'clock tbe Bouso waa called to order by Speaker Keifer and prayer was offered by "the ct.aplain of the House. Tho speaker then said: " This day has been dedicated by tho action of tbe tnro bousos of Congress to services iu commemoration of the life and doath of James Abram Garfield, late President of tho United States. Thi9 houee is now assembled and ready to perform its part." Tho resolutions "ettinjj apart tho day for tho memorial services wero next road by Clerk McI'horeon. At 12:10 tbo Senato was announced, and all rose respectfully as tho Senators, headod by tho officers of that body, entorodaud took their assigned seatn. They were followed bythochiuf justice and tho aesociato justices of tho supreme court, aresaou lu iiioir ruucn ui uuiuc. n^mu the assembled multitude arose aa tho Pretident of tho United States and his cabinet were announced. They wero accomjianicd l>y Sonator Sherman and Representative McKinley, chairman of the committeo of arrangementa. The President took the front scat on the right of the presiding officers' ohair, nest to that occupied by Cyrua W. Field. At 12:30 the orator of tho day, James 0. Blaine, waa announcod, and his adrcnt was the sigual for a round of applause. The ceremonies were thon opened by a short prayer by Chaplain F. D. Powor, of the House, after which President Davis suid: "This day is dedicated by Congress for memorial services on tho late President of the United States, Jamea A. Garfield. Ipresont to you the Hon. Jame8 G. Blaine, who haa been fitly chosen as tho orator for this historical occasion." Mr. Blaine then rose and standing at the clerk'a desk, immediately in front of the two presiding officers, proceeded with improsaivoneas of manner and clearnesa of tone to deliver his eulogy from manuscript. The eulogy was ct ncludud at 1.60 p. si., having taken just an hour and a half in it doliverv. Aa Mr. Blaine gave utterance to tho last "solemn words, the spectators broke into a storm of applauso, which was not huslicd for some moments. Mr. Blaine began hia oration by giving a sketch of Garfield's ancestry; then adverted to tho struggles of his early lire; then to his career as a soliiier, making special reference to hia honors won at Ch camauga; thon told how ho left tho army for ConI omcioi olrAtskVtAs) f?n on ft. lacrin. lator, alluding to bis skill in dobate, and comparing him with other, great political leaders, saving lio "perhaps more nearly resembled Mr. Seward in his supreme faith in the all-conquering power of a princip e;" next the orator spoke of the dead President's nomination and of his candidacy and election; thin referring to his life as Presidont the . orajor made mention of his assiduous and conscientious discharge of bis duties while in the presidential chair, and of his ambition for the success of his admiuistration; after speaking of the political events which disturbed the dead President's serenity, the orator referred to his roligisus views, saying: "The religious olement in Garfiold's character was deep and earnest." Finally, after paying a tribute to Garfield's liberality, charity anil tolerance, Mr. Blaine concluded as fallows: "Great in life, he was suipassingly great in dor.tb. For no cause, in the very frenzy of wantonness and wickedness, by tho rod hand < of murder, he was thrust from the full tide of j this world's interest, from its hopes, its aspirations, its victories, into tbo Tisiblo presence of doath?and ho did not quail.

A Windsor (England) dispatch ?ay? that, us Qaeen Victoria was entering her carriage about 6 p. si at tho railway station, a man in tho station-yard deliberately fired a pistol at her. The queen had been in London uinco Tuesday, where she gave a drawingroom reception on Wednesday in honor of the Princess Helena, of Waldack, who is to marry Prince Leopold. She arrived at Windsor at about 5 p. m., and walked across the platform of the depoi to her carriage, which was waiting to tako her 10 the cas-tlo. John Brown had already ascended to his seat behind the carriage, when a man standing at the entrance to tho station-yard among a number of spectators pointed e, pistol at the carriage and fire'I. To judge from the report tho pistol was not heavily loadod. Tho que.n, who was probably not aware what hkd happeued, was immediately driven to tho castlo, but bo'ore she {Missed, the man !iad been seized by the superintendent of tho borough polico, who was standing near by. Ho was also violently seized by the crowd, and was only reacnod from them when three or four policemen came to tho superintendent's assistance. The pistol was captured i?? nr>o of tlm nrmvtl. The man cave his name as Roderick MacLean. Ho was taken into High street, and thence to the police station in a cab, lollowed by a largo crowd of p ople. The queen arrived at tho castle at 5:25 p. St., where a largo number of pooplo awaited her. Sbo immediately ordered an eqnorryto proceed to tho dopot to inquire if any one Had been hurt. 1 ho report ot tho pistol was sharp but not. loud. MacLean apparently intendod firing again, when tho revolver, which seemed to bo a new one, was knocked from his hand by a byistandor and handed to tho polico. Eaton scholars wero prominent in the attempt to lynch MacLean. The Right Hon. Sir Henry F. Ponsonby, tho qneen's secretary, procoode'd to tho police station, and, after obtaining all the information possible, telegraphed to Mr. Gladstone tho facta of tho assault. The would-be murderer, Roderick MacLoan, a grocer's assistant, said that hnuger prompted him to commit tho crime. He was roughly handled by the crowd beforo he was arrested. Ue was miserably dressed, and is described aa a wretchod-looking object. Ho was prevented from firing a second stiot by a bystandor. The queen is said not to havo been alarmed. The uoctora pronounced the would-bo murderer sane. m*mamrnammm Effects of the Floods. ,A Memphis dispatch gives the following graphic account of tho disastrous effects of tho floods along the Mississippi: it would require an artist's pen to picture tho grandonr of tho Mississippi as, at its present Hoodtido, it Bweeps with a mighty power down to tho gulf, while its releutless current everywhere carries upon its bosom the evidence of its destructive Dowers. From Cairo, III., to Vicksburg, Hiss., thero -is scarcely anything to bo seen btrt a dreary watery waste, extending in many localities fit teen miles into tlie interior from either bank. The damage that bus bwn done to farming interests by the great overflow cannot now bo estimated. Thousands of cattle and other stock have been drowned Mid hundreds are now daily dying of starvation . The inhabitants of the bottom lands have been driven from their homes and are now existing as best they may on ridges where 1 astily bnilt huts afford them shelter and where they would eoon starvo wore not food provided. Never before within the hirtory of tho country was there so much enffering experienced by tho people of tho Mississippi valJoy aa now, and, what with the rising waters and the incessant rains, the disasters of the luture cannot bo foretold. Breaks have also occurred in the levees near Belmont, Mo., and between Belmont and Osceola, Ark. Through this vast area of country the waters are pouring in mighty volumes into tho head waters of tho St. Francis river, overflowing tho ontiro St Francis river valley to a depth of fonrteen inches deoper than was ever before known. This large body of water again finds its way back into the main channel Just abovo Ilelena, Ark., and has caused the greatest disaster to tho people below, from Council Bend, Ark., fortv miles south of Memphis, to Friar's Poii't, Miss. The river is a foot higher than it was ut iho great flood of 1862, and ia Btill rising at tbo rate of two inchcs a day. Levees that have withstood all tho hi^h waters that have occurred within llio pas', twenty yearn have been brokon, and dwellings that were built above the high wator mark of previous years have been flooded to the depth of a foot or more. At Arkansas City tho wator has invaded every dwelling. Half of Helena, Aik., ia undor water, and the greatest f'ars are entertained that the lovee which protects tho front of the city will break. ' Tho condition of thoso whose lands have been inundated ia best described in the following appeal, which was forwarded on their behalf to-day: "Our country is in a deplorable condition. Many of our people are now without anything to eat oxcept tho drowned stuck, and unions aid comes in tho way ofproviaions many will perish from hunger. The stock, hogs and cattlo are drowning day after day as they are driven from danger to doatb. The levees continue to break and the watore rise, driving people from their floating houses, barely escaping with their lives." 1 Another account eays: "Our stock are on the lsvee starving to death. They are dying day by day, and miny people cannot get ort of their house > and without assistance from some source many are bound to starve. Hundreds of no^roes, who havo been driven from their homes in Crittenden and Phillips counties, Aik., havo arrived hero and are uttorly destitute. There are many yet within tip. inundated region who aro coopod up in their cabinB, unable to get away from lack cf means of conveyance. In many dwellings mules havo been taken in and occupy tho porches and hallways, while the owners Bleep withifl tho rooms. Negroes are living in gin lofts, o* rafts and on platforms." The inoritablo rusJJ of this great bubmersion must bo a dolay in planting and a material decrease in acreage. The prospects to the merchant and planter throughout the valley aro ploomy, and tho outlook tor a cessation of the present suffering is anything but hopefnL A Greonvillo (Miss.) dispatch says: " The Boh'var lovee broko ypHterday morning. Riverton, Wade, Clay and Badgat Jevoes a so broke through, and it is reported that the Concordia broko the day bofore. These breaks will cause the overflow of every plantation in Bolivar county. The nvor fell here four inches last night, and is still falling rapidly. Rosedale, the county seat of Bolivar county, is six feet under wator. Tho Ledqw offico and other houses are washed away. Clark's front levee on Lake Bulah is gone. This will cause an overflow of what was left of Bolivar county. Williams' bayou lovee in thia county is broken, and aU of the northern portion of Washington county and the back lands throughout Issaquena and Sherkey counties will go under. A number of paoplo were drowned at Riverton. Accounts of suffering and Iosb of life continue to come in, and excecd anything that has ever attended previous inundations of the Mississippi river." Another Memphis dispatch says: "Advicos from Rivorton, Slias., 150 miles below Memphis, say that tbe lovoes broke on Monday night. Several persona were drownod, among tho numb jr Benjamin Hoyne, shipping clerk, who tried to go to tho assistance of & Mrs. Bradshaw, and was drawn into the channel, lho livo stock is all drownod and there aro no provisions for the people to Bubsist on. Tho break occurred about 100 yards above Dancan's. At Duncan's there aro no lens than twenty-three women and children, and many more are huddled together Dn tho levee, half naked, frozen and hungry.

A representative of the Lynn (Ma?x.) [tem, in a late ramble throughout that city, gathered, among other scraps of interest and nformation, the following: The first place nsil.?d by the reporter was the fruit store of Mr. J. Levett, No. 67 Market street, in esponse to a rumor that the proprietor had jeen cured of the rheumatism by the great emedy. Mr. Levett not being in, the reporter had a talk with his son. Mr. Levett ftatecl that his father had been cured of an jxceedingly bad attack of rheumatism by he St. Jacobs Oil. He had the disease in lis right arm and shoulder, which became perfectly helpless after being aflected a few lours, flis pain was so great that he could lotrestin comfort or attend to business with iny degree of satisfaction. AfUr enduring his sort of thing for some time he purihased a bottle of the Great German Reme- i iy and began to apply it. lie did not nince matters at all, but just lined the Oil , or all it was worth. After pursuing this , node of treatment for three days the pain ( vas banished and his father was in a perectly healthy condition. He has never incc felt any rheumatic pain. A Relic of (vuiteau.

[Brooklyn (N. Y.) Eigle.] While Mr. Beecher and Dr. Talm&ge are making special efforte tbia spring to save the son Is of the people, the Great German Remedy is supplementing the good work by preserving and restoring health. The two influences are widely different, yet strangely alike. It is one of those rare occasions where the spiritual and physical meet on common gronnd, both operating differently, yet each working toward the accomplishment of the same purpoee, viz., the happiness of mankind. Thas moralized the reportor after Tisiting the great Brooklyn revivals and subsequently interviewing several citizens of New York upon tho work of the Great Qerman Remedy. Calling upon Mr. John 8. Krem, agent for the New York and Baltimore Transportation line, pier 7, North river, tho reporter asked that gontleman if he or any of the omployos of tho company had boen using tho 8t. Jacobs Oil this season. Mr. Krom promptly answerod that the Great German Remedy was well known by those doing business at tho pier. Ho had used the Oil, and had recommended it to several of tho men, and it had never failed to perform all that was needed. He was attacked with lumbago this winter, and, seeing tho many good words spoken by the citizens of Now York in favor of Tia flf Tannlio fiil Tin a/1 frt crivA it fL trial. It acted like a charm, subduing hia trouble with almost magic celerity. He had not anticipated such rapid restoration, and confessed that tho wonderful action of tho great healer surprised him. Ho had never found auch quick relief in all his previous experience, and, sinco using the Oil, he has never had occasion to employ the services of any liniment for tho roasou that it had radically cured him of all rheumatic pain. The gratitying action of tho St. Jacobs Oil in his own caso gave him unlimited confidonco in its great curative power, and he freely advised tho men in tho employ of the company to use it whenovor they had occasion to need a liniment. It had givon relief in soveral instances to the employes* Tho moat pronounced instance of its power was in tho caso of a commander of ono of the company's bargee, Captain Samuel Jarrett, who wa i severely afflicted with rheumatism. Captain Jarrett had sufferod considerably with tho rhoumatiam, and complained that he could not secure reliof. He was told to try St. Jacobe Oil Tho captain applied the Great Gorman Remedy and foand relief. He was then in Baltimore in his vessel Mr. Krem also stated the janitresa of tho rooms he occupied waa also healed by 8t. Jacob's OiL The woman is subject to rhenmatism of a mtoto type. She did not seem to get relief from any of tho romedies she t?os nsing, so he gave her a bottle of the German Romody. She ased it, and afterward said it bad relieved her, and she was load in its praise. Mr. Krem said that his experience with tho St. Jacobs Oil justified him in pronouncing it a superb remedy, and he emphatically recommended its amployment'by bis friends and acquaintances. The Chinese New Year. Kwong He Ho, Chinese merchant of Pell street, sat yesterday on an ebony stool covered with a thinly padded cushion of turkey red. The stool came from China, and "cost $4. Two dollars was added in the way of duty at this port. Five other stools just like this one were occupied by friends of the merchant. It was the Chinese New Year. Kwong was dressed like a native and looked very intelligent. He wore on the third finger of his left hand a diamond ring which he said cost him $63. The pride depicted on his face as he looked around 1 1 T* TT.no lilB Hliup WHO VCij piUUUBUlDi 11 rraa a small room, but stored with hundreds of attractive and costly things. Six clerks with loose sacks and quenes jostled one another behind the counter. Innumerable shelves were burdened with indescribablo matters. Four feet of wall was stocked as an apothecary's shop, another four feet as a china store, still another as a tailor's establishment, and so on. Embroidered silks and figured crockery made a bright and artistic show. Among a confusion of small matters on the counter stood a complicated tobacco pipe worth $20, from Shanghai, a saucer of fine tobacco mingled with quarters of lemon peel to keep it moist and a garnet-colored glass tray and flagon set in a ring of small wine glasses. Kwong received the reporter and Policeman McCoy with marked courtesy, and filling two of the glasses from the flagon, proffered this courtesy of the day to his visitors, remarking, "Take a glass of wine." "Chinese wine?" the reporter inquired, drinking. "No, gin," tho merchant responded, laconically. Then Kwong drew attention to his New Year's table, wHicn was in a corner. The central piece npon it was a lacquered octcgonal box, filled with candy. Behind was a small metal pot in which diminutive wedges ot sandal wood were burning. A supply of sandal wood wedges stood piled on a tray at hand. Round about were bronze images and handsome ornaments carved in ebony. A cloth of crimson silk, sowed over with gold embroidery and small circular sections of looking glass, depended from the front of the table. Kwong handled this bit of silk tenderly, and said that it was as costly as it was beautiful. Strips of pictured Chinese paper hung on the walls behind the table, and from the ceiling above depended two enormous lantern frames o carved ebony, which Kwone said were worth $12 apiece. The hospitality of the candy was accepted by the reporter and also by Policeman McCoy. It was queer candy, Itko bits of dried apple in form and diversified in color, but very toothsome. Kwong said that he had made 100 calls and was now receiving. Friends dropped in at intervals, shook hands with themselves, which is the Chinese way, and said "Happy New Year." Among others came an American doctor with five ladies, all of whom were received with high courtesy by the popular merchant. "What happened at Kwong'a was re peated yesterday at every Chinese house n the city. In gambliLg and opinm places it was jnst the same. Chinamen wore their holiday shirts, which differ from those worn every day in that they are padded. Some wore silver gray, of great beauty, and edged with fur.

Samuel Deaton, of Christiansburg, Ohio, who had rheumatism nineteen years, says the following is what cured him: " 1 quart rye whisky, 1 oz. wild cherry bark (root), 1 oz. prickly ash root, 1 oz. yelbw dock root, 1 oz. spikenard root, 1 oz. genetian root, 1 oz. gum myrrh. If ono bottle don't cure you, try another. Take three drinks a day. Two bottles cured me." White bread tilono will not support animal life. Bread made of the whole graiu will. The experiment has been tried in Frauce by Magendie. Dogs were the subject of the trial, and every care was taken to equalize all tha other conditions?to proportion the quantity | of food given in each case to the j nminlif nf <lin nnt'mnl nrnflnmpntpfl ! npou, and so forth. Tho result was sufficiently marked. At the end of forty days the dogs fed solely on white bread died. The do?8 fed on bread made of tho whole grain remained vigorous, healthy and well nourished. The habit of commencing dinner j with soup has without doubt its origin , iu the fact that aliment in this fiuid J form?in fact, readily digested?soon 1 enters tho blood and refreshes the ; hungry man, who, after a considerable j fast and much activity, sits down with ; i sense of exhaustion to commence his j principal meal. In two or three min- I utes after he has taken a plate of good j rarm soup, the feeling of exhaustion lisappears and irritability gives way to ! ;he rising sense of good-feliowship j with the circle. The sonp introduces i it once into tho system a small installnent of ready digested food, and saves j ho short peritd of time which must jo spent by tho stomach in deriving j omo nutriment from solid aliment, as j roll as indirectly strengthening the j 1-gan of digpstion itself for its forth- j oming duties. Kan; Ynrlf inriAs hn.vfl rriven a man 10,500 damages for having bis eye put i nt i>y the shattering of a pane of glass j a a horse-car by collision with another i ar, and a woman SO,000 for a broken 1 neo pan (?ot in a horse-car. In the j itter ease, the woman on entering tho j ar told the cocdnctorwhero she wished i o get out; he forgot it and went by at I rapid rate; sho motioned to hirn withut effcct; she then rose and called his I ttention again when ho rang and the ar stopped suddenly. A passenger's, jgs were sprawled in tho passage, and bis with her inertia threw the woman eavily upon the floor. The railroads re finding out that people have rights d can maintain them too. Tbe Growth of Nerronnea. Nervousness is & rapidly growing ailment. Whoa there is no orgaoic disease its origin is usually imperfect digestion. Hostetter's , Stomach Bitters, a remedy peculiarly effica- ] cioua in eases of nervousness, acts primarily < upon the stomacli, restoring its activity, pro- ' moting tho secretion of the cnstric juice, over- J coming the immediate bodily disturbance re- ( Bulting from dyspepsia, and remedying that , depletion of muscular substauco and strength, t and tho nervous symptoms which it ultimately ^ produces. With the renewed activity of the I dicostive functions nerve quietude returna, an J, increasing inability to rest soundly ia connter- < acted, mental despondency ia supplanted by a | feeling of cheerfulness and the rolish for food } is augmented. Tlio remedy is safe and unob- i jectionable, and may Mao bo relied upon to overcomo and prevent fever and ague, biliousne6S and counttpation. Mb.
