| A Letter from Chlhm. - TrsaoBO. Pakiha. Cauka. j b I [Ktb. 17. 18H8. ! ' Dear Wave:— I suppose you would, a be Interested in hearing of some of I be ' >• strange things which arc done in the 4 tMcstial Kingdom. Their New Year y came on February 1-JtU.this year. Tbla i, is Ibe time, and the only time that (he r. Chinese have for rest, recreation and ]• pleasure ; consequently it is observed r in a in i nr or that imlicates that they intend to make the moat of the holidays ' a while they last. Very liule is done for f- si* daya in t e way of labor. If a woman should lake up her • cwiug they say that her eyes will fail her, she will i g«t deaf and her teeth wid itrop out. so there is not much needle work don -. But gambling is practiced to a great , extent by men and women. On the 18ih i '• I went to Peking to sec the great | metropolis for tlie first rimo. a distance i of fifteen miles. There are I luce ways - of traveling to the above place. In a , cart, on a donkey, and by the grand i canal. The lalier way means, for this . season of tlie year, on an 'ice sled. As , the first two waya are not very comfort- j able, we decided to go on the ico. , The aids are about five reel long, four , wide and two high. There ia a narrow , iron itinner set into a wooden one. ( so that Ibe sled slips over the ice liko t a pair < f skate*. These are drawn by , one man. who runs along tor a short t distance to get up a litilc velocity, then c when he si I a down on the forward part , and pals lire ice with his fcit. which i are quccrly shod to keep up the speed. ! ' This rests him and when the impetus is i exhausted he is rested for aootlu-r run. r ' His feet have first a covering of straw, 1 then bide is bound around them with < Uie hair side out to prevent slipping! t be also has two sharp iron nails in < nrh ( shoe to make him more steady. These ■ . shoes are quite a curiosity and they do ■ , nut have the appearance of discomfort, i A handful of straw would not be rccog- ' Dined as a stocking in America. These t 1 are only worn by men working on Hie t ice. Tim first eight wo got of tlie i Capital was tlie watch-towers on the I • wall.' The wall is quite imposing, ami < r to a foreigner, who was brought up t _ where rail fences were a thing of the . past, it bad a decided antique appear, j ance. Over every gale there ia a for- ■ tress fifty or sixty feel in height, and t I containing many cannon. After pass- , I iog this ga'o we came into an inclosure j having an area of three or four acres, which looks like a gnat prison yanl. ( as the walls are equal on all sidca. , I should judge the tblcknc s of the wall | would lie from 00 to 80 feet. To get r into the city we have to pass another « strong gale. If a bow and arrow enemy f j would be in a bad position while pausing • through this inclosurc, as they would e 1 be delayed with allot and missiles from I the top of the wall. Tlie inside of the g city is a curiosity, all the buildings are t j marie of mml or brick auil in arch iter- l, turn they resemble at flrat chicken coops f and cow sheds, as tliey are only about \ a half story high. The roofs are either j made of tUcs or a kind of morlar. As h wood ia very expensive tlie door* to t most of the-houacs are made like lattice e work an covered with paper. Those t who can afford it have a blanket a attached lo Ibe t p of the door casing t! and reaching to the sill, wli ch keeps f, out a great amount of cold. As it never o rains here In winter, paper windows n and doors last for months. There is a '! brick or mud fence around every c houac, and that has a solid wooden gate, i, The streets have an abrupt ridge in the c middle, about It loet wide and 8 Let B high. This ia to render them pa tabic e during the rainy season. The streets a quite wide, bat bore and there shops 1 are built right in them, so it renders l them cramped in places. There are no t sewers in working order and all the f refuse la thrown on the suiface aud I gathered by fa meta. t It is now Hut evory one makes them- ' selves, and alt they have,- look beautiful. ( New clothes are put on by rich and i r poor. Those who cannot afford to buy, t hire them for a few days from a pawn i shop and pay a big renL Every gMc | has the gate gods freshly pasted on; i every house has a large motto p in led i an red paper pasted on the door ; every - exposed stick of luab r in Use lumber yard has a message on it to some of the ! gods. The same is true with the brick i _ yards, a little slip of paper pasted on ( every exposed brick. Many of tl>e : carts have those messages attached to ; every rpoke, and others will havo It . only on the shafts. The animals also * have them on their harness or aaddles. I saw a long train of camels bearing coal into the city, and they bad the message" pasted on their back-cloth. ? A little baby camel brought up-the rear j* and It had no back-cloth, so his New . Year's card waa fastened to the hair. f The street* are filled with the debris of fire crackers, and the ear is deafened by their ceectaut report. These are supposed to Insure prosperity for the coming year by driving awsv devils. ^ Many of Ibe shop-keepers or merchant* )hlre m err to come to their place of business and hammer on goags tad rattle chains for the same purpose; to that la Se clatter would tend to drive a nervous a person cnucy. About a week before New Year they take down the kitchen •- god - and bum him, first pasting bis ° month up with taffy, so that be will *. not tall of their short-comings when be gets to Heaven From this time to the first day of the first mi nth, there Is no R god to fear in Ibe household and wick. cdneM ia indulged in without fear. When the new god is pasted up, they fesir^his presence and thinta move on in M that would interest the little folks a* u with two baskets, one at either end of a ~ pole, sod In each of the baskets was a P child. Re w», selling them for slaves. s Eirwtrbsrxs

ithem in the street. Chinese ladies never go out on the street, hut at this time tliey stand tn , their gate ways, to show their new '' i clothes to the passers-by . Their small « feet arc very prettily decorated with ® 1 cloth shoes of bright colors. They use r ! powder very extensively on their fate. * . The Catholics have a modcr.. cathedral e : which has not been long completed and I : it gives them (the natives), no little 1 1 trouble or two rva'oos : 1st. It is so f ; high that it is certain to ( ring bnd luck > on the whole neighborhood. 3d- Since ' , it was rained on last summer, ii has de- ' . velopcd a yellow or imperial roof, and I that is only used for the Emperor as he ■ has a storehouse where yellow tile is . kept and no bunildlng ran have t .cm - put on. This building did not attract 1 attention till the pa'nt was washed oil 1 rain. It makes a go-d deal of stir 1 it was Dot detected soon enough, > were secured. 1 have not sald'anything 1 about the evangelistic work as It would I take up as much space as this, and 1 1 of the habits of tlie people first. In |ums- ■ along the b i'iness parts of the city ' number of kite shops. In a few days ' the kite winds will commeno-. They are southerly breezes. During the wini all the winds are from the north and ' west Kite flying is as imporlant lo I tin ni for their prosperity us is the tirc1, cracker. They are made to represent ail kinds of animals and demons. I saw i and a devil going along arm in arm. Many of the kites are ramie so that they i require nt tail. The great advantage derived from kite flying Is this : The air and- impurities of the Eoipl o are good air is brought down the string i mailer of much importance lo havo • kites employed in Ibis very ccscnWe are al way. very anxious to get the i as it seems like an old friend. 1 I would be a little m -re voluminous in • his stAteuients. 1 am not finding fault, i only suggerting what I think would be i more agreeable to the ncthi r corrcspon1 dent. I was much interested in reading your clipping on the origin of throwing ■ rice. The supersiliotne ol this people are eomprebonsi n .ami when 1 get ■ some of them "boiled down" I will let i you hear from me on that score. There s a funeral going on at this present time across the street from here and the i eoplc let their darkened ideas i havo freo vent at such a time. A few minutes ago there waa a terrible tumult feet from where 1 am writing. When I got out they were burin ing a paper cow so that the dead person can havo it to her to the unknown world. and street boys and they cuter into their work with the whole heart Tiicjr hallow and yell so the spirit will not a dog barks at night they know the reason. It is because tlie spirit lit on the temple roof snd is sitting Firc-crackc.s are set off and everything is done to make the spirit take its flight. They keep up the fanersl services for a week or more and some they keep the dead in Uio house a year. All of their coffins are made of heavy plant and they arc sealed with morlar and lime put in with tlie coipae. The catafalque on which the coffin is carried to the grave is very clumsy and is comprised of two long spars with cross pieces. Sixty-four, or .norc men are required to carry iL The mourning color is white, and the family walk, or at least, the sous and male m turners do. oldest son must be supported as his grief must be extreme, no matter if father luu been dead for a year, (as often the case or not in (frequent), and hlre^ wallers must wail at Intervals, and tbey can joke and ltugh between time*. reason bouiea are kept in the bouse for such long periods may bo from sevI erml causes. 1st. They msy be loo poor , buy a burial place. 2d. Thoy may i not be able to agree on a propitious plaro, f r If they don't have the proper uurial place the departed spirit will I them and consequently they are r very anxious to get a propitious spot r where Ibe dragon's and tiger's influence i proper. 8J. They might not be able t pa for the coffin, and the undertaker ■ can keep It above ground till the pay Is i forthcoming. At the grave there are > paper houses burned, also all kinds of t animals that the spirit is supposed to- > need, and firecracker* are again act off. I saw an old woman dying a few days I ago. Tbey never let a person die on P the bed (kang) if they do their spirit - will enter tbo bed (the bed is made of r brick) so when they see a person is about ' to pass off tbey dress tbtm in their best ■ clothes and carry them on a board to the s place of honor, the hall wqy, ami they 1 have incense burning and what looked e lo me like high log houses made of cmndy snd -wo Ugh silver duties with four spB pies in each one. -Tbey had s picture of '- the dying woman and while I was I here a tbey sent it away to be mounted on ; cloth ao that tbey could worship it a* toon as the spirit left the body. Tbey have three spirits, ono goes to heaven t one remains In the tablet, which they s worship, and one is taken to the -grave t. and remain* there. While funeral services are going on it Is not proper to 0 sleep hut I think sometime* thev can't IB do the proper thing, but the nobe an.l |1 nowllng would have a tendencv to assist lower. i propriety. Tills woman who ha* lost died across the war was found ® dead on her "kang" In the morning. O This caused s great row as lit China L. nothing bad can happen without some . one is to blame, and by the way th* " howling waa carried on there must have ' been some one severely tongue-hubed. n This "kang" must be torn down, as U g contains her spirit. 1 am ashamed for writing such a lengthy letter but won't bother you soon 8 spin.

he The Classics. — What eouid be more conducive to the pleasure of students, !W and all those who are interested in. the higher cultivation of tlie inleficrtual capabilities, than a careful study ol the lnsc comparable writings that have deeended from the bauds of the celebrated Greek "J and Roman philosophers ? Many people 'h who have never had occasion to inJc vestlgate this very important branch of tr> education, naturally suppose that such * studies are only calculated to serve as a ~e pastime for learned men, and those who are never reipi red to depend upon their j " own resources as a means of subsistence. ie This is a great mistake, because the '• scholars among those classes who do not , " chance to he endowed with such esteem- ' jj cd blessing" as tbo e whom wc have " mentioned, havo the mono natural abili- I ir ty. and might be enabled to enjoy with j '• the same degree of satisfaction, those j c beautiful thoughts which have arisen in j 8 the great minds of ancient men; and, " likewise, there should not be a failure j to realize that a comprehcndve kniwl- j 0 edge of the I,alin and Greek languages, ' '• constitutes the true foundation of an cdY ucatiun, accel rates the acquiring of tl1 most any English course of study. From ' a moral standpoint, this is a subject that 1' should receive the earnest consideration 1 1 «l M«e parents who would not havo 11 their children become addicted to ;ho 0 habit of reading the "trashy" literature ] of the present dsy, such as every observ- I ' log pcrsou will agree. Is only that which 1 * U likely to iDfuso an unwhulcsoine dis. j { ' a practice. Whereas, if an interest can ! y once be awakened in tlie classical stud. 1 c lea. It dues that de.-ire (or the light , 0 and unprofitable rending to rink to the i e lower! condition imaginable. And why ? ' ' Simply bcca-iBc the Mudcn' has heromo ' 8 so fasciuatcd with the beautiful language ' 1 of the Greek poetry, and unparalleled 0 historical narratives, that the questionable literature falls beneath Ids notie . ' thus considering that it is far w -r»e than \ to that from which no U iicfit may p . . i 1 ribly be derived. There are probably \ 0 ducliou" l-> whl b we have a particular i '* reference wcie brought forth by those 8 ore of Paganism. This is an iudbputo- \ ® We truth, but when such u.ngnanim ty ' ' and sublimity of expression as thus de- . wheso religion was a belief in a plurality , * of Gods, is noticed ; are there not many i e useful lesson" lo be drawn from thecou- j ' difih ullles under which th-y labored, I J and nlso comprehend the vastly super. ; 1 lor advantages that are offered to the , ' people in this enlighteueJ age. By a , 9 knowledge of Greek the teachings of the i ' N.w Testament lnay be more clearly re- J ' carded, and staqdy because the English ' 1 language Is inadequate to fully portray , r tlu- iuspiriug | air rages dud convey the I 1 meaning lliat was Inlendtd in the origi 1 ' nal composiiion. And without speaking ' of the many w ays ia which learned men | 1 now consider these studies advantag- I 5 cous, as regards t ■ disappointment, bc- ' cause of having ex. ended so much time j ' and labor in this direction, the rich , " trcas ires of aucient thought, so phasing- I ' ly described in the highest order of ] 3 poetical works, history and biography, • 3 become accessible to the mind; otb- < ' erwl«e, a vast amount of satisfaction I * would lie realized from tbc-Yxmsclour- ' ' ncss of having gained a knowledge of ' that which is pronounced to be a very 1 important feature of au education, name- ^ 1 ly, the study of the classics. 5 W.

WnEATOx. r The Growth of Prohibition. > Since 1888 neith r of the two great f political parties has bad a clear mmjo ity s of votes in the Stale of New York, the 1 successful one being. rather more than 1 satisfied with a pluraliy. This condition L of affairs has been brought about, in t in large part, by the Prohibitionists, '- whose numerical growth at the polls is * scarcely appreciated except possibly by y the leaders of parties. In the Bute of is New York there were polled in 1880— if loss than eight year* ago— only 1517 U Prohibition vote*. In 1884 there wore e cast 24.090 of them; In 1888 the number >t had increased to 80,487. lu this State * tlie Prohibitlen party has not grown so le rapidly, yet last enough to exdlto serious tf consideration. Thoie were polled in Is Pennsylvania io 1880 for the Presidential -c ticket 1030 votes; In 1884. 15,288; Id 1880 if 83,458; but In 1887 there was a falling off ■o on State Treasurer to 18,471. lo I- Neg Jersey, considering the comparative l°s smallncss of the population, the growth «o of the prohlb'.tl -n sentiment, aa ihdicalit ed at the polls has been greatest of all. "f In 1880 no more than 101 Prchebitlonists it vote* were cast; io 1884, 0158 Prohibist ilolst* voted; lo 1880, 10,808. The te candidacy of Neat Dow in 18So seemed '7 farcical to the leaders of the Republican jd snd Democratic parties; the candidacy / of the Prohibition nominee of this year nf win have nothing farcical about It; It re may be Indeed, a very serious business. ™ Any party f^tqded upon a distinctive .j. principle of assumed public good Is :n pretfy cere Ian, sooner or later, to become >y formidable In numbers In this country, '' and the remarkable growth of the , Prohibition party offers another Uluslra- ~ lino oMhe-facL - 7'Ar LsAgtr.
