Ten Thousand Killed or 91 aimed at Coney I.land A Cruel Sport. - The ground around and about the firing point at the Brighton Beach race track is literally covered with the feathers of the pigeons killed during the progress of the tournament. It is estimated that fully ten thousand birds have been slaughtered and as many more will be sacrificed before the tests of skill at marksmanship and so called sport are concluded. Birds which have died without the bounds are frequently found by the idle men and boys who haunt the vicinity of the track, and that many of them died lingering deaths from snot wounds tnere can be no doubt. The marksmanship on June 24th was excellent, although tue con-i ditions were not quite so favorable as on previous days. A thick haze made the light uncertain and the wind, which was from the northeast, blew the smoke back in the faces of the contestants.

While Dr. Pierce, the donor of the diamond badge, was shooting off in the tie score at thirteen, one of the birds, which was apparently unhurt, flew in and perched on the iron wire which supports the awnings over the reporters .stand. "Don't move! Keep perfectly quiet!" shouted the judges to the reporters and bystanders, for the body of the bird, and not its life or free dom, was valuable, for, according to the rules, if retrieved within a certain time, and even a single shot mark found upon its body, it would count as a dead bird to the credit of the marks man. The shooting is still very much behindhand and it is not improbable that the time for the tournament will be extended.

At Amherst col lege, in the class of '53, there were two chums, who had stuck together ever since tney naa urst entered college. They were fast friends and no trouble had ever disturDed tneir inendsnip. One was the son of rich parents and theotherof a country minister. When they graduated, the rich man a son went into business with his rather m New York and took his friend with him as an employe. Things went smoothly for jSome time, when that eotumon accident of life happened. They both fell in love with the same eirl. The fight in the heart of the em ploye was long and bitter, but, cofltrast- insula positiuu witu tutt oi ma mcuu, the difference in the advantages he could offer the woman, he yielded, and with scarcelv a word of parting, with none of explanation, he left New York and went West A year afterward found him in San Francisco, and he soon joined the gold diggers. His for tune was varieu, ai uuies iicn, ti times poor ; afterwards in Nevada he followed silver mining, and when the silver craze struck Leadville he went there. There he was successful, and this spring, a rich man, he determined to return East for the first time in twenty-fonr years. Yesterday, as he got off the Southwestern train at Wil ton, lowa, and went to get on me mam line train which was to carry him to Chicago, a lady who was trying to turn a seat attracted nis attention, stepping forward to help her, he first looked with wonder, then joy, to see that it was the woman he had run away irom so long ago, a woman now past forty, but handsome yet. He talked to her timidly at first and uncertain. When he learned that she was yet unmarried his questions came faster yet, and her present condition was soon Known- to him. Her parents had: died, and de pending on her own exertions f orssup port, she had taught school, and at present was principal of a school in western lowa. The old love still lived in the miner's heart, and he soon found that he had not been entirely forgotten by her. To make a long story short, it was a vfirv hannv lookine COUDle who got off the train here last night, looking ior a minister, aim a un nypioi uuc which registered at the Sherman as Mr. and Mrs. Bhearburn, eadyllle, Col.

How the Chinese Smoke Opium. To smoke opium gracefully, writes a San Francisco correspondent of the New York Tribune, after carefully in specting various opium dens, requires as much skill aa to roll a good cigaret. The smoker reclines on his side, facing the tray. From a -small, thimble-like dish he takes with a long steel wire, called a "yen hock," as much of the li quid opium as will adhere to the point. The drug resembles cheap New Or leans molasses, being black and viscid. Held over the ame of the lamp it be gins to bubble, and bv deftly whirling the wire it is saved from falling and is soon reduced to the proper consistency a thick paste. It gives off a slight bluish smoke and a faint odor of burnt sugar. It is then held near the aper ture of the pipe bowl, and the smoker, with his lips glued to the stem, inhales the smoke in one long draw or in fre quent short puffs. The opium must be kept over the name wnue smoking, as it will not admit of re-warming. An amusing illustration of the lack of knowledge about the process wa3 turn ished by a recent issue of a popular magazine. In an article on opium smoking was a sketch of the interior of a den, in which several smokers were lying flat on their backs puffing away at tomahawk-looking pipes, tilting up at an angle of forty-five degrees! A new opium pipe may be bought in any of the Chinese stores for $3. When colored by the daily use of several years it is worth from $20 to $150 and excep tionally fine ones are valued at 8250. Opium-smoking is a sensuous pleas ure and depends for its full enjoyment upon leisure and society. The majority of the better class of Chinese in San Francisco smoke opium, but not in ex cess. They will lounge on their little bunks, enjoy twelve or fifteen pipes in the course of an afternooajor evening, chat, smoke tobacco and drink tea or rice brandy. Few except the confirmed opium-smokers use the drg to produce insensibility or the opium sleep. The primary effect of opium is that of good tobacco, increased tenfold. It sbothes and trahquilizes the nerves and laps the smoker in a delicious state of Sy baritic ease and voluptuous en joyment. It induces a species of day-dream, but its effects in this regard have been greatly exaggerated. It seldom pro duces the drunken stupor which fol lows undue indulgence in liquor. The European who contracts the habit of opium-smoking usually craves an inor dinate amount of the drug. A man whom I know smokes regularly every day six bits, (f & cents) worth of opium, or about fifty pipes. He is a walking skeleton,' and when not under the in fluence of the narcotic he trembles like a paralytic. His cheeks are sunken, the bones seem, starting thro' the pallid skin, and the whole man is a liying wreck strength, energy, will, man-; hood, all clean, gone. He lives only for his daily indulgence in the drug, and his body could dispense with it no more than his lungs could perform their furicr tions without air. He is a walking barometer; sensitive to the slightest change in temperature and racked by neuralgic pains when exposed to cold. Fatally insidious, too, is, this opium habit. It saps the moral strength and enfeebles the will i then, shorn of these, two allies, it takes a man of excep-" tional strength of character to free himself from its thraldom. The poorer classes of Chinese in California and these comprise nine-tenths of the whole number use opium as a solace to their hard life. It is one of the few pleas ures they allow themselves in a slavish struggle to lay up money. No store, Wash nouse, manufactory or restaurant is without its opium ay-out. -The' habit of opium-smoking is universal; as common as the use of tobacco amog American men. A very intelligent Chinese merchant, who speaks excel lent English, in a, recent conversation with me on the evils of opium-smok ing, said: . "It is the curse of our peo pie, and is far worse in its- effects than your whisky-drinking. A man ; who drinks liquor gets some- strength from the stimulant, tho' this may Jajyt only & few minutes. He,may eettlive to bid age, and neve? gq to be-soberi But the effects of ortmi are far dif eren.t.- It takes away strength; it never caves any. It weakens a man, Un44 Wood and steals all luseneW.
