WEDNESDAY, MARCH Mt MOTHER-IN-LAW. She is coming, she is coming, unhappv fate; Time, tide and my wife's mother were known to wait. She is coming like a martinet, do peace must fly, With all the tender graces that are When she's nigh. She wilt wash and scold Ibe childre . g boss the serrant girl, R:pc saw my lamblike temper and s nerves a-wbir?; Talk volumes on economy, bu? all the declare My wife's allowance is not half as mu I should spare. A perfect Send at bargaining, she'll sal to bay v A host of things ?I can'tafford, all pure cm^nesty ; 11 * PU have tojigive'up smoking to g< children frocks, And my corns will soon be aching fro patches on my socks. She'll need a peck of battons to sew oi and there, And spools of twist and cotton for eve and tear; .And, to clap.the awful climax, she so knows how to .bake, '--'Andaba cook is unsurpassed, from < " stew to steak, ?. Thatj-while- I -hate to have her come * "hatred's tinged with woe, When sh?departs, I must confess, I h? jeeber^ol Chinese Opinions of Am cans and Their In? stitutions. "Wilmington Messenger. The Americans used to be sensitive to loreign criticism. 1 ?, Trollope aod Charles Dickens gre angered them when they publie their impressions of this cono Since then much has been writte V Americans and American instit uth There have been macy to praise censare bas not been withheld. Oo * the best ^ books of observation was Hep worth Dixon, a man of distinga ed parts and an English man. " V/e believe that books written ablernen and women and not no in tone do good. They correct st gross defects and awaken reflect . . ,t among Intelligent home people. ?j is good for any people to know w other peoples think of them. 1 American is apt to be "bumptiou and it is said that the Northern n abroad is quite sure to make it koo that he is from the greatest country the planet, and that he has mach .commend hi?n. Bat be it as it may, since the "Tm cefits Abroad"-a most laughable a entertaining book-was written, it 1 not been oat of order for people .bave opinions about the great I public, its institutions, customs, el The latest and one of the most int? .eating accounts of what others think 'this country is by Dr. William A. .Martin, an Indianian resident io Chic *a&i President of the Im penni Tu Wen College at Poking. He has be in China since 1850. Ile is a schola ly, able man. He has writteu ma of China? its language, edacatio philosophy, etc. It is a great mjstal that most Americans fall into to u der value the Chinese, and to reg a; themas, mere barbarians. They a the oldest nation and in some respec a most remarkable people. The possess a literature of merit, and ha\ : able learned men. At tbis very tim . they have a commission composed i twelve learned men visiting the variot ? countries, making observations ao hereafter will embody them io volume; Worss of travel by Chinamen are n< cn common. President Martin hs read one composed of fifteen volume; Ia! the Forum for February he fui Dishes a paper entitled "As the Chines See Us." It is very entertaining. ] shows bow closely visiting Ch?name have regarded and studied the manners customs, laws, etc., of the Uuitei States. The result has not been favor " able to the vanity of our people. I; fact the Chinese philosophers and states men have returned to their own lam batter .an.-nVd than ever with thei - own rustications. They are not at all enamored o . ?bat they have seen of Americai newspapers, thinking them harmful Says Dr. Martin, they do not deuj their influence, but think while un marking the bad they "two often roil the fair fame of good men.*' The) say "nothing could be worse for public morals." They think that dishing ut daily the evil and bad news is h artful; that it perverts the taste and quickens a morbid appetite. There is much ol truth ia this. They hold that the "amount of. worthless matter thus forced on their attention, of necessity precludes thc reading of classic authors. It makes men superficial-knowing many things rather than knowing much-and it" has an unquestionable tendency to lower the standard of liter? ary taste." Who can say truthfully that this is a false accusation ? Nor are the Chinese philosophers and travellers any more enamored of the American theatre. They see the evil with clear, utipur^ed vision. Here is their view as reproduced by President Martin "The masterpieces of the classic drama are rarely placed on tho board. The favorite p!ays are those that teach no moral lessen, and depend for their fascinating power on enlisting the imagination on the side of the lower passions. In many instances little is left for the imagination to supply ; scenes that ought to be withheld from modest eyes are represented in detail, and the wealth and fashion of the land are drawn together by the charms of women of doubtful reputation." Who can deny the accuracy of the criticism, and say that they are not ch se observer? of the real ? They do not like our customs as to women being in the public glare. They are amazed at the "elopements of wives and daughters, clandestine marriages, and the scandals of divorce." These things are unknown in their own land. They do not fail tc comment u:."~7orably upon the want of reference a?' i ?eoera lion for parents and forefathers. There are other interestiu^ points touched on, but we turn to one other point only-the jury system. They are astonii.hed at its absurdity and failure. They say that the system is most skillfully arranged to defeat justice. This is the opinion of many people not Mongolians. There are observers and philosophers of other nationalities who do not believe that the American jury system is the best j possible But we will not discuss tte j point, hot turn to the Chinese to see | how they regard our dt-arly cherished I institution. Acc^.ing to their inter- - preter they hold that "a court combats . of threedementi>-beuch, bar, tho jury, the seeood and third apparently serv? ing no other ends than to pervert law and to screen the guilty. In their eyes the jury is open to three objections : 1, while the weighing of evidence requires a trained mind, the jurors are chosen at random and are chiefly uneducated men ; 2, their verdict is required to be unanimous, making conviction next to impossible io cases that admit of a difference of opioioo ; 3, to secure impartiality they are required to declare beforehand that they have formed no opioi?a on the subject; they are ac-* cordingly men who either do. agt ?ad or 4.0 not reflect. ,-Ia additwif^fo these objections, much time is lost in impanel? ing a jury ;~a?td^rnen the judge has to instruct, them how ? to understand the evidence. Why not permit the judge and a couple of assessors to pass on the facts ia the first place V These philosophers and thinkers have some decided views of the tendency of the American bar, and do not hesitate I to condemn it sharply. They say, among other things, that it is the func ! tion of the lawyer, "to present only a one sided view of the case," and that ?."he seeks not the triumph:'of rfght, but the success of his client." Bat let us close an already long article with a longer quotation : "The opposing- counsel strives to determine the court in a contrary direction, and between these contending winds the arrow of justice will not fail to go straight to the mark ! Each advocate brow beats the other's witnesses; he lays snares for the un weary ; aad to weaken their testimony he does his best to ruin their reputa? tions. One who has the gift of elo? quence appeals to the sympathies or prejudices of the jurors, who, being unsophisticated men, are liable to be carried away by his oratory. He .acquires a name for power over a jury, and the litigant who can offer bim the heaviest fee is almost sure to win his suit. What an original scheme for the promotion of even banded justice !*' In China they have no bar or jury, and they will not copy from America in either particular. How far their views are correct as to the effects cf the American system we leave with the men who practice in the courts. We merely wish to note a very interesting and pointed discussion. The Mon? golians are evidently close observers and of marked intelligence. mmmmWM>-~++~- WT tm - A York County Eabbit Hunt During the Christ? mas Holidays.

I was talking to Dr. Talmage a few evenings ago, and he said : 'It was a turning point with me when in Wynkoop's book store in Syracuse many years ago, when a youth, I picked ont from a heap of books a volume entitled, 'The Beauties of Ruskin.' It was only a book o? extracts, but it was all pure honey, and I was unsatisfied until I had purchased all of Ruskin's works. And what a heaven I went through in reading his 'Seven Lamps of Architecture' and his 'Stones of Venice' it is impossible for me to describe, except that it gave me rapture for good books and an ever? lasting disgust foi decrepit or im? moral books that will last me while I live.'-Edward W. Bok's Letter. The Woman and the Live Faucet. A queer accident befell a Portland woman last week. An electric light wire had sagged to the tinned roof ol' her house and the current was con? ducted by tho water pipe on the out? side of the house to a trap in the cellar : thence by the waste pipe to a sink on the second floor ; thence by the water pipe to the street, so that when the lady put lier hand on the faucet of thc water pipe she couldn't let go. But, luckily, the wind was blowing, and as the wires swayed the water pipe and its adjuncts were electrified with but an intermittent current, so the lady was liberated after a few minutes' imprisonment and considerable suffering. Mr. G D. O'Leary of Yorkville, who is at Baltimore under the treatment of Koch's lymph for consumption, writes that he is growing stronger. Aecordiog to the last census of the indians in this country they have decreased in the past decade about 25.000. In 1880 they numbered 256, 127, in 1890 248,273.
