TIENTSIN.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

་ TIENTSIN, foth October, 1883:- Tings generally are in a bad state at present, North as well as here. The Hwang Ho has run riot to an unusual extent this year, carrying destruction and desolation in its path. Other rivers in Chibli have followed suit, creating wide spread misery and suffering amongst all classes. The Mandarins are at their wits end to meet the calls made upon them by these accumulated misfortunes, and are further seriously em barrassed by the quarrel with France. The Canton riots likewise add to the difficulties of the situation, and altogether the coming winter is looked forward to with grave concern, and if judgment is of any value the Chinese authorities appear to have great reason for their anxiety.

Sir George Bowen has, I see, been “galavant ing "about the country, and I hope and doubt not that he has enjoyed himself. The important questions which were supposed to be the cause of His Excellency's visit to the north, and which were evidently not capable of settlement in Shanghai, where he met Sir Harry Parkes, do not appear to have occupied, much of his valu- able time, or else they were found more facile of arrangement than was at first supposed.

The Logan affair is reflecting injuriously on the Foreign Customs. Sir Robert Hart in true Chinese fashion "shuts the stable door after the horse has been stolen." In a circular letter to all the Customs branches throughout the country the autocrat of Peking scatters blame in every direction, taking care, of course, that none is attributable to himself as the Imperial head and holder of the Customs vermilion pencil. A wholesale clearance to other ports of the Cus- toms officials at Canton is considered judicious, I understand, until the disagreeable reminis cences connected with the affair blow over. The Futzi (Governor) of Kwangtung in to be re- moved, and replaced by a more energetic man- darin in the shape of the Governor of Kwangsi, who is a native of Li Hung-chang's province, Angwhei.

ON POKER

A man who can sit in his pew in church when the collection plate is being passed, with his eyes riveted on the ceiling and seeming to be engaged in silent prayer, while his fingers, are in his pockets squeezing a nickel till his finger-nails are bloodshot bas mistaken his calling, Such a man should rope' in suckers to play poker. The most successful poker player wa ever knew was a truly good man who acted as usher in a church. He could disguise, his feelings so you couldn't tell whether he had "sequence" or a pair of deuces He would draw to a pair of queens and get two more and then he would throw down his hand in disgust, but finally, as he thought it over, he would say that. he guessed he would simply chip; no he wouldn't lose his blind, and somebody would bet $10 10 raise him out, and he would see and come back with a roll and scare the map out of ble boots He was very successful, but finally they brought charges against him for heresy and he went West with his savings, and now owns a large bonania farm in.

Such a man can readily understand that the annoyance, if repeated, leads the sufferer to seek a remedy. In the case of misfits, the recent dis- covery places one at hand in the shape of a system which needs but little study, and is yet satisfactory in result. The measurements taken of the person to be fitted serve

“Are all the Chinamen who die among bar barians ultimately taken hoine?"?

"Most of them, not quite all," replied the editor, glancing over the proof of a stashing leader on the spiritual effect of amputating queues, "There are about five thousand Chinamen in New York. Forty of them return to China every month, and of the number perhaps one-third come back. If any one going back to the old country has dead friends here he takes them along. I do not believe that more than five per cent of the Chinamen who die in the United States, are permanently buried here. Friend- less Celestials are left here, and no one cares whether they go to heaven or not"

"Cannot one of your race, get into Paradise unless bis bones rest in Chinese soil!"

"No, sir, Chinamen believe that the only road to heaven lies through their country,"

"But if a good, virtuous Chinaman who has kept his pigtail and his conscience intact dies in a strange land, will he be excluded from heaven: because he is poor and friendless ?"

That's the doctrine," said Mr. Wong. "Ac- cording to Christians, no man can be saved except through a certain belief, no matter how good he is; according to Chinamen, there is no salvation outside of China. One belief is about as rational as the other."

"When you dig up the remains of your coun- trymen do you have any services at the grave?" We bum a little incense-paper, maybe, and take a drink, just as Americans do on all occa- sions."

"What does the drink signify??!

..

"It's what you would call a toast. We drink peace to the soul of the departed, and a prosper ous journey to the body. We use any liquor that comes handy. Sometimes tea, or whisky, or in extreme cases, water."

"How are the bodies prepared for shipment?" "They are embalmed if they are fresh enough: If not, the meat is scraped off and the bones only are carried away."-New York World.

rule of three. "Given certain-fundamental mea- surements, even of the worst-proportioned forms, the rest are at sight deducible by reference to. the card on which the ready-worked-out calcu- lations appear. The scientific dress-cutting eys- tem applies to every ganment that can be worn, whether tight or loose, and it would be difficult. to exaggerate the importance of the discovery to those who appreciate the comfort of well-fitting bodices and gracefully hanging skirts. It also promises us a certain immunity from the vulgar dlaboration and ostentatious overtrimming which have been but too glaringly apparent of late in womens dress. Frequently a trimming is used but as a means of concealing a radical defect in cut or fit. Its obvious irrelevance in many cases may thus be accounted for; but two wrongs can never make a right, and the reproach of irrele-, vance cannot be removed by pleading the error which was its primary cause. The essentials | of a good fit are perfect freedom combined with absolute neatness and an observance of the requirements of the prevailing mode. How seldom the average dressmaker succeeds in carrying out these conditions is best known to her customers, and is evidenced by the increased. perference.shown women of late for garments that are tailor-made, Tailors cut out by a regular mathematical system. The Scientific Dress-cut- ting Association supplies an equally trustworthy system, with the addition that all the calculations are carried out, results obtained, and placed ready
