LONDON, Ootober 25.-Tho award of
the Emperor William in the San Juan
case is severely commented on by some
of the London journals. The if Vines
says: ''Thedecision is unsatisfactory, un?
clear, and indecisive; but we accept it
with loyal submissiveness." Tho Times
also says: "We repudiate utterly the
absurd and baseless charge that England
intrigued at Berlin with a view to modi?
fying the judgment of the Emperor."
The Post considers the award as da?
maging to the iuterestB and diplomatic
reputation of England, as was the award
of the Geneva tribunal. It gives, says
the Post, the key to British Columbian
waters to the United States. The settle?
ment of the question hardly tends to im?
prove the relations now existing between
England and America. The Telegraph
and News reserve their oritioiem. The
Standard is silent upon the subject.

FUNERAL OP A CHINAMAN IN BELLE- 1
TLLE, N. J.-CURIOUS CEREMONIES.-On i

he grounds adjoining Capt. Harvey's i
amous laundry in Belleville, N. J., and 1
he unique ceremonies of a Chinese fu- i
?oral were performed in his honor. The '
itter days of Li Chow Chin's life were '
pent in communion with an ugly wood- i
n god, to which he remained desperate- ]
y loyul in spite of tho efforts of a Christ- '
in minister to convert him. His fane- l
al was attended by 220 Chinamen, the
otal number of Capt. Harvey's imported *
.?asherraou, dressed in wooden shoes and 1
abby pantaloons, loose shirts aud far- >
steading pig-tails. They assembled in '?
ho spacious irouing room of the hum- <
ry awaiting tho removal of the body.
Vhen all wan ready they gravely walked
own to the burial p?uoe. They sur
ounded the grave and each threw a piece
f lighted pivper down upon the corpse,
i volume of smoke arose from the grave,
nd tho spirit of Li Chow Chin was bo
leved by his brethren to have ascended
rith it to the clouds. As tho olay was
eaped on the corpse little sticks and
ieces of nickle currency were mingled
rith it, und money was distributed

A MAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE DY STARVA?
TION, AND SUBSEQUENTLY THROWS HIM?
SELF INTO TUE SEA.-A most singular
caso of euduruuco without food, fur au
almost incredible length of timo, occur?
red ou board tho Euglish ship Colonist,
whioh arrived at Suvuuuah, on Mouday
liBt, from Liverpool. It appoars, from
tho Btutemont of tho oaptniu, that u
Swede named John Watson shipped at
Liverpool for the voyage. Nothing of
an extraordinary character was observa?
ble in his appearauce or conduct for
some time, tie discharged all the duties
required of him with promptness, aud
seemed to be getting along ?uely. After
the ship had been out several days, the
Swede beoume invisible. A diligont but
unsuccessful search wus made for him in
every part of the ship. Tho first time
he was actually missed was on the night
of the Gth of Soptember, when he was
on watch. It was finally concluded that
he had jumped or fallon overboard dur?
ing the night, and, consequently, no fur?
ther search was made.
Oa the 4th of October, as one of tho
Bailors was down in the hold of the ship,
looking around, for some purpose or
other, be suddenly carno upon the miss?
ing man, lying close down among the
sacks of salt, of which the cargo of the
ship consisted, and quite near a cask of
fresh water. Hero he had been for all
that time, from the Gth of September
until the ?th of Ootober-twenty-eight
days. What he had suboisted on while
there, or if he had done ontirely without
food, does not appear. There was no?
thing on board the ship among the cargo
in thu shape of food, aud it is quite cer?
tain he did not go in search of any, else
he would havo been discovered.
The poor, unfortunate creature was
taken out, moro dead than alive, and
food and water offered to him, but he
refused them. Everything that could be
done for his comfort and to restore him
to a strong and hoalthy condition was at?
tempted, but he seemed perfectly indif?
ferent to all. As strict a watch as possi?
ble was kept over him, but on the se?
venth day after he was taken from the
hold, he seized the opportunity and
threw himself into the sea.
As soon as he was discovered, a life
preserver was thrown to the drowning
man, but instead of attempting to save
himself by means of it, he pushed it
from him. The captain then ordered a
boat to be lowered and put out for him. i
This was immediately done, but before i
it reached him he sank beneath the
waves and passed liko a bubble from i
sight aud into eternity. His body was I
never seen again. i
There appeared to be no cause at all- :
at least, so far as tho unfortunate man's
conduct and conversation were concern?
ed-upon which to baso bis singular and
persistent efforts at self-destruction. It
is quito likely that some troublo or 1
anxiety weighed upon his mind, and the 1
probability is that ho Bhipped aboard tho *
Colonist for tho purpose of getting an '
opportunity to commit suicido while far '
from homo and friends.
Perhaps his resolution to drown him- 1
self forsook him at first sight of tho deep, j
dark, blue and ever restless ocean, and
that he sought death by starvation alone,
and where no eye could eeo und no
friendly hand could save him; and final- '
ly, failing in this und wrought up to des- '
peration, he threw himself into the sea. 1
To say tho least, it is a most singular '
and determined oaso of self-destruotion. j
A THEATRICAL STORM-INGENIOUS 1
FRENCH CONTRIVANCE.-A French cor- 1
respondent gives some details of the 1
working of the wouderful ship ?ceno in 1
the (laito drama of "Le Fils de la Nuil:" i
Wo are told that the stage is entirely 1
ideated, aud three long lines of rails ure '
laid down-one coming straight down 1
from the baok towards tho lout lights, '
ind another from the left wing, while tho I
last traverses tho stage at tho first !
grooves. Tho big vessel, mounted com- !
plete upon a platform furnished with 1
rollers, remains till wanted at the ex- J
tremo back of the stage, and is pushed '
Iowa the rails and turned to the left '
ready to enter. Tho puinted doth, re- 1
prosontiug the ocean, is theti laid down, (
?nd tho first row of "waves" tako their '
places. They are little boys, who, armed 5
with semi-circular canes, creep uuder the
sauvas, and pushing their covering, imi- }
tato the movement of the sea. There
ire fifty of theso useful aids iu all; tho
second row being composed of full
grown men on their knees, and the last
ind most stormy undulations of the
main are formed by the movements of
tuxiliaries who stand erect. Tho elec?
tric light plays upon tho tops of the
waves, and tho brig appears. It soou
reaches the middle of the scene, whero
i turn-tnblo is fixed, supported by the
robust shoulders of twenty-tivo men,
who, by moving up and down in mea?
sure, imitate the rolling and pitching of
i ship in a galo of wind. The attacking
boats now como along tho horizontal
line of rails, and the vessel is boarded
and taken after a hot hand-to-hand fight.
When tho piece was first produced, some
years ago, Mr. Feohter was playing in
Paris, and his pr?sence averted a contre?
temps. The cloth representing the sea
gave way in ono part, and the head
and bust of ono of tho "waveB," who,
for tho Bake of coolness, had divested
himself of his upper garments, carno
through, and remained fully exposed to
the gaze of the audienoo. Fechter, who
represented tho pirate captain, and was
Bupposea to command on deck, did not
lose his presonco of mind, but immedi?
ately cried out, "A man over-board I"
Aided by the orew, the amazed Buper
was hauled on board, amid tho applause
of the gratified spectators, who fancied
that this rosoue from a watery gravo
formed part of tho play.
A painting has recently oome to light
in England whioh purports to have been
painted in the time of Shakspoare, and

DEATH IN A VOLCANO-ACCOUNT OF
TUE DEATH OF TWO ADVENTUROUS TOUR?
ISTS IN THE CRATER OF VESUVIUS.-The
Hevista, of Naping, contains tho follow?
ing aocuuut of tho loss of two gentlemen
iu tho oruter of Vesuvius, who, with
great temerity, insisted on being lowered
down to the dark auvern, immediately
below tho orifico of the crater:
A party was formed to asceud Mount
Vesuvius on Friday afternoon, in the
Cufio di Europa. Tho party consisted of
two American?, three Englishmen and
one Frenchman. On Sunday night,
they took carriages'from tho coffe for
Resina, roaching there at half-past ll
1'. M. Having procured horses, guides
and other necessaries, they started for
the burning mountain, and began the
ascent, one Luigi Garoglo leading as
cicerone, and arrived at the base of the
uppermost, cone, further thau whioh
horses do not go. The tourists thon be?
gan the ascent over the hillocks and
boulders of lava until the vicinity of the
crater was reached, when Messrs. James
Wilcox and Francois Le Mieur, an Ame?
rican and a Frenchman, insisted on being
lowered down to the cavern which is
forinod below the mouth of the volcano.
Tho guides, who provide themselves
with ropes for that purpose, complied
with tho request of the foreigners, and
lowered them down. The mountain
being perfeotly quiet, no danger was an?
ticipated; but when one of the party
above tho crater called out to the rash
adventurers, no answer was returned
The guides, growing anxious, cried,
"Gentlemen, you had better hold on to
the ends of the ropes." Still the ropes
remained slack, and no answer came
from the sulphurous and murky cavern
below. Twenty minutes passed, and the
adventurers were yet silent. It was then
proposed that one of thu guides should
bo lowered and hold on to the ropes
until he had investigated the appearance
of the cavern base. He had hardly en?
tered when he cried loudly, "Su/ su/ non
e'e nienle che una pietra slretiissina," (Up!
upi there's nothing hore but a very nar?
row rock.)
As far as any living person can tell the
rest, the unfortunate strangers, the vic?
tims of their own imprudence, were
burled into the mysterious abysses ol
Mount Vesuvius.
In this same month, sixteen years ago,
two Englishmen of birth and fortune
and a French comedian committed the
?ame terrible error. The same ambition
which urged them to scale tho icy height'
?f the Matterhorn, also nerved them tc
search insidious Vesuvius while it slept,
aud they woro either lost in some laby?
rinth of lava aud ashes or smothered bj
vapor of sulphur.

utter indifference of the Caucasian to

Huup of our finger for tho good or ill
opinion of any half million human ani?
mals that tho Almighty ever put on two
legs or four. Their abuse and thoir
puffery, their adulation aud damnation,
fall alike ou oareless ears. Rhinoceros
hide is Paris muslin or silk tissue, beside
the cuticle that enwraps our editorial
sensibilities. Week after week, our con
tompt for contemporary comment is
shown, by our republication, indiscrimi?
nately, of their vilest and bitterest do
nunoiations, aud their most fulsome
flatteries. See it under head of "Cauca?
sian Abroad." Their fiercest attacks aro
mosquito bites on an iron-olad monitor.
Wo care not one continental tinker's
d-imo for the love or hate of any oity,
County, State or country beneath the
sun. And wo wouldn't budge a split
hair's breadth, from our path, to shun
the world, the flesh and the devil. We
have no apologies or explanations to
make. It ain't in our line. And yet, a
word is due to some of our farmer
frionds. In a hurriedly written artiole
on the Aullville horror, last week, we
rather too sweepingly spoke of it as the
outgrowth of the teachings of the so
called -Farmers' Club. We should
have said, the teachings of some promi?
nent members of that organization. As
a body, it has probably never incited
monocracy; we know that thero are
good men in it, firm friends of ours and
upposers of all outlawry. No allusion
to thom was intended, of course; but
there is no disputing the fact that mem?
bers of that association, some of them
tottering old meu with one foot in the
grave and the dirt orambling in under
the other, have urged such measures,
md talked of lynching, hanging, ropes
ind swinging up, until the public mind
has grown familiar with such atrocious
ideas. We trust our County has wit?
nessed its last scene of the sort.

'ou are caught iu a shower of rain, and
'our Panama gets wet through, you have
inly to wriug it out as though it were a

o dry, and in a quarter of an hour it

L lio Spaniards declare that a Panama is
hot proof and an infallible protection
gainst sun-stroke; but of these asser
ions I have my doubts. Tho lifo of a I
Amarna hat may bo measured by that o? !

mt. At all events, thoro is a cunning
latter in New York who, for ten dollars,
rill undertake to return to you, as good
,s new, n Panama hat which is twenty
ears old, aud has been in the wars, und
hiuwrecked, and thrown iuto a lime
tilu, a tan-pit, and a bucket of tar. This
lecrleas hat is not to be purchased at a
nean price. It is the dearest head-gear
nauufuctured. Red-skinned maidens
lave intoned whole cantos of Indian
ipics while they plaited and sewed to?
gether thoso minute oiroles of straw. A

THE ELECTION.-We were nevor more
ur (in sed at the rosult of an election
hau we wero at the election just held
or member of Congress for this District.
iVe were aware that a large number of
vhite voters felt reluotanoe in voting for
rollinson for Governor, because ho was
vhat is termed a carpet-bagger, but wo
lid not expect to find them turning their
mcks upon ono of tba best and noblest
>f Carolina's sons, and aid in electing a
nan who they know had brought more
rouble and disorder among them than
ill the other corrupt officials in the couu
ry.
Wo cannot see the consistency of those
nea who refuse to vote for a Northern
nan because ho is a Northern man and
,vlmt they call a carpet-bagger, and at
.he same time refuse to vote for an ho?
nored and honorable son of South Caro
ina against a corrupt scalawag. The
itay-at-homes and the cowards of this
'Jongressionul District have elected A. 8.
Wallace over the Hon. B. F. Perry.

O, TEMPORA! O, MORES!-Grant's own

The Patriot thu" refreshes its very short
memory:
BLOWING LU,r AND COLD.-Within a
short twelve months the New York
Times said: "Sheriff O'Brien's share of
tho stealings is put down at $800,000."
To day tho Times says: "With James
O'Brien us Mayor, New York may be
sure of honest government." The motto
of the Times is probably "Tempora mu
tantur." And adds: "Brick Pomeroy is
said to be engaged on the New York
Times. He is a terrible weight to carry
for any party that pretends to decency,
and will have to eat a great many of his
own words. Bat when wo see Jack
Mosby and BOBS Tweed in the same boat
with Ben. Butler and Zack Chandler,
nothing in the way of political compli?
cation and inconsistency need excite
surprise."
