- ThaaeUt Xi fut Ainrer ( Prayer. : 1 ,
Just , batore tha late earthquake reached
Manasojian, N. Y.; the corps of sij: Tjlood
washed warriors"! of tne SalTuliiin Army was
engaged in holding an open air meeting.; Itl
shock was acesmpanied by a distinct vibration
of the buildings throughout the town, and the
people flocked to their doojrways in alarm and
wonder. A few minutes before the shock was
felt the 'captain"; offered prayer. : She was
somewhat discouraged by the want of interest
shewn iu the Army by the smvbrowned people
of the town, and Bhe said in her- prayer that
"Wo want God to come in the fulness of .His
power and shake this town upside down."
Some of her bearers were skeptical, but when
the earth shook they became greatly worried,
and they have not yet recovered from their
fright .
How Klsltngbary Died. '
Some facts about the death of Lieut Kis
lingbury, of the Greely party, have come to
the knowledge of his brothers which have not
as yet been published.) About twenty-throe
days before the survivors were rescued, word
came to the dying men from the watchers that
a polar bear was seen. ,Ki6linbury rallied bis
fast failing strength and led the way with two
others following.-: The boar was shot, and it
furnished food enough for the remnant of the
party to puli through. - Thoy had been living
on strips of clothing. When Kislingbury had
brought the bear in ho said to Greely t : "That
bear was sent by , Providence." j Kislingbury
had before this last .fall sustained a rupture
by the falling of an iceberg. Ho bow failed
fast and said ; "Uoysit's '. all up with ' me.
When I am dead bury me with my comradas in
the Arctic 'regions. 'A.few days before he
died he would crawl out of the hut and lie with
his face to the snn. He died singing the sol
emn words of the Doxology. While sinking
into a peaceful slumber he whispered these last
words : "Aggie ! Aggie Aggie meantog his
first wife- " . ' " T . f. .'' v' : :

": The Rbinclander Case, i (A ,',
The efforts of the Ehinelander family, of
New Xork, to prove William ClUiineliinder in

est Ihe latest step, according to a state
ment by hi wife, is the cutting off of his al-
Iowanoe, or at least its suspension, so that he J
shall not have money to pay counsel. Mrs.
Rhinelander stands up tor her; husband, apv-
wi.y, and all the more is the animnf against
him is developed. , There is now no doubt that
for a long time before the shooting of Lawyer
Drake, vigorous efforts were being map3o to ef
fect a separation, Drake being the medium em
ployed by the family. ; Mrs. Khiaelander hag
declared as much, saying that each time she
called at Drake's office the efforts were re
newed. Bhinelsndet's counter-effort with a
pistol was. not exactly commendable, but it cer
tainly looks as if he had received a good deal
of provocation. As for his being really In
sane, that is very doubtful. Had he hot "gone
below his station" for a wife, that question
would probably never be raised. He is a little
queer, and always was,' but many men are
queer whose minds, nevertheless, are quite
sound.. - '-- !t '.'
A Chinese Shave. ;-.'
The customer seats himself erect on a stool
or bench, with the knowledge that an hour
mast pass before be is released. " The barber
begins operations by carefully washing the
victim's face, ears, and head with very warm
water, wiping off the dripping parts with a
we toweL He then begins shaving the head,
or rather around the crown where the cue be
gins, commencing over tha right ear and
moving along until the forehead and the lower
part, of the backh'ead are cleanJ. He next
passes to the face and afterward to the neck,
The ears are shaved and carefully brushed out
and cleaned with delicate brushes and ingen
ious instruments. -The face,' neck and, arms
are then Washed and rubbed until the skin
assumes a healthy pink. The second partis
somewhat like the "Swedish movement cure."
The barber begins to turn and manipulate the
head and neck until every cord and muscle has
been stretched, : pinched and pulled. ; . The
b onlders, arms and back ate also scientifically
pounded and pulled until the victim expresses
a desire to have the manipulating stop. The
cue is then nnbraided, combed ' and cleaned,
and again braided np and put in place. , Occa
sionally, When a barber desires to show great
attention to a distinguished customer, be rnba
and pulls his fingers and even his toes, until
the joints crack. . ; ' . ; ' .. ,'i.f
'." Three Mealsja Day.v
" An English writer gives some much-needed
advice as to the times and frequency of meals.
In bis opinion the ; present-usual practice of
three meals a day has good reason, as ' well as
custom, in ita favor. When work of any kind
is being done, whether mental or . bodily, the
intervals between taking food should not be so
long as to entail demands on the system wheii
its store of materialTor the generation of force
is exhausted. An ordinary full meal,' in the
ease of a healthy man, is generally considered
to nave been completely digested, and td hay
passed ont of -the stomach in fonrhouts.' A
period of rest should then be granted to the
stomach.1 ' Assuming tiiat 'two hbnri are' at
lowed for this, the, interval between one meat
and another would be . six hours ; and this ac
cords with the experience of ntosi men. Du
ring rest and sleep there is less waste going ony
and', especially during sleep there is a'greatly
dimiuiBhed activity of all the functions pf th
body.' The tatervaltherefore, between the
last meal of One i day and the first Of the next
may be longer, as it generally isj than between
(he several day meals. Assuming that breakr
fast be takeh about 8 ox 9 o'clock, thera should
be a mid-darmeal abit or JtThe charscte
of this must depend on the nature of the day's
occupation and "the convenieuoe of' the indi

.Tbe changes that have been wrought in this
country in the past thirty or forty years are
signally illustrated by the manner in which
"candidates for the Presidency tn Informed of
their ominationa. Now, a considerable num
"ber of gentlemen from all parts of the country
wait upon the candidate and address him. . He
accepts and subsequently writes a letter for
mally, giving bis views and opinions. ; Bnt in
thoso days distances were' too great, traveling
too laborions and expensive, for a personal at
tendance upon the candidate He was notified
by letter, an answer written and the campaign
begun,' Gen. Taylor was nominated by .. the
Whig wmyeiiSion at Philadelphia, June 7, 1848,
On the 10th a letter 'was sent him at his resi
dence, Baton Bonge, La. More than a month
passed and no reply was received. At first the
delay was put down to his crotchety ways, but"
as the time went on bis , long silence began to
wear the aspect of an affront. .Thurlow Wood,
Who bad Taylor in charge, grew desperate, and
a meeting was actually held at Albany, where
the propriety of withdrawing Taylor, was di
cussed. There being no telegraphs; speedy -communication
was impossible, and letter after
letter had received no response. However,
nothing was done at thattime, and the politi
cians awaited developments. On' July 22,
nearly six weeks after the nomination, the
postmaster at Baton Bonge wrote to the Post-mnster-General
that of the forty-eight letters
jent.to the Dead Letter Office that month most
of them were for Gen. Taylor. This was be
fore the days of pre-payments, when postage
was, ton cents, People' frequently refused to
take out letters addressed to them and pay the
postage. ' Gen. Taylor would not take his out
of the office. His mail expenses bad become
too burdensome, he said, and he declined
longer to liquidate. Subsequently learning
that these letters w sre important, Taylor agreed
to pay and they were accordingly sent back to
him. Among them was the letter notifying
him of bis nomination, i So, after It had lain a
month in the Baton Rouge postoffltfa and e lowly
traveled to Washington ;and back, Genf Tayr
lor' answered by a brief and unsatisfactory
epistle. ' The Whig leaders were so dissatisfied
that they made him write another, in which he
did better. Candidates of the present day are
almost as deliberate as he was wbout furnishing
their letters of acceptance, bat it is not because
the announcement of their nomination ia kick
ing about the "Country postofiices, or held for
non-payment of postage.

how ha went to ihe Chicago Convention as the

that this ! would- not be done, he turned
hia face against the convention. . In short, he
writ s himself finally out of the Democratio
Party Thenhe turns npon the Kepublican

whom "flhe people" haw nothing to hope. In

of abuses in government, so lhat its pressure
on the people would be made as light as possi

French shelled the barracks and camp near
Quanta.. Ko resistance Waa made to tlie at
tack. The consulate buiidings Were looted by
the Chinese Soldiers, who were in uniform ana
were armed. The French chief of staff reports
the French loss at six men. The Times or

Saturday night, when the French opened their
navy fire, and it is believed sank one of their
own torpedo boats.; . Tlie bombardment is de
scribed as of the most sickening character.
The Chinese fleet, lately on Min river, with the
inception of two ships, has been blotted out.
Ko surrender Was allowed to the disabled and
sinking ships. Their gntts i'a-.ing been
silenced they were shelled for hours. Admiral
Courbet opened fire at 2 p.m., and tho Chinese
replied almost simultaneously. The dockyard
arsenal fired immediately, with only partial
success. ; The eleven vessels forming the Chi
nese fleet Were mostly light river and coast
transports, and were really toys. The French
bad eight heavily armed" ships, namely the
Volta, tho Dugay, the Trowin, the Delaming,'
the Arpic, the Yiperc, the Loux and the YiUers.

a desultory fire for about a quarter of an hour,
when the survivors of , their crews ,; escaped
overboard. The combat was practically finish
td in seven minutes. The superior French
artillery made the contest, after disabling the
Chinese vessels, no fight. It was a massacre.;
This is the opinion of every spectator, - Two
gunboats, carrying eighteen ton guns of the
Chinese fleet, fought well, one sinking near
the English man-of-war, Champion, while the
other, stationed above the junks, made a good
.stand. The French kept up tbefire on the
iarsenaL the neighboring buildings, forts, bar-
'racks and villages until 5 o'clock in the after
noon, although the resistance from tne snore
.batteries ceased about 3 o'clock. Some French

and exhausted, he managed to get into the

A few minutes later the wagon reached the
surface with Welker lying in it insensible. '
- This was the first intimation the officials
had of anything wsong inside. Frank War
