The ideaof a thoroughfare being obstructed by the hideous monstrosities, which are on!y' half human, begging piteously for nlm_s, is disgraceful, butshere they are, and the police pay nomoreattention tothem thanifthey bad no existence. On the corner of Fourteenth street thereis a woman minus both limbs and one arm, her face wrinkled with age and seated in a little wagon drawn by a boy con- ?icuouu for ugliness, both soliciting pennies. n the block above is a man with his’ Limb half amputated, his right side paralyzed, and shoul- der drawn down, and his nose gone, 2 hideous sight, truly, for Broadway.

He was wounded in North Carolina. He sits on the: gidewalk near the City-Hall in Brooklyn, to excite the pity and sympathy of hundréds every day. BEGGING FOR A DUBLIN INSTITUTION. Probablyit wasasurprise tomost of the Rev.Dr. Cuyler’s Presbyterian congregation last Sunday evening when it was announced that the pulpit would be occupied intheeveningbythe Rev. Mr. Stephenson, a clergyman of the Free Church of Scotland, now located in Dublin, Ireland. The surprise was doubtless turned into a positive amazement when, at the close of the sermon, Mr. Stephenson proceeded to state that one of theobjects of his visit was toask donations from American‘friends for the erection of a building in Dublin for the use of the Young Men's Christian Association of that city. He said it was designed to cost about $75,000, of which it NEW YORK GOSSIP .Venerable Lace at Ridiculous- ly Low Prices.

New YORE, June 15.—One of the nnisances quiet people have to encounter in this city is the pestiferous visits of people who are forever ringing door-bells and asking to see the lady of the house. Usually the Biddies or the butlers glam the door in the face of such bores, and thus get rid of them. Latterly this form of puisance has taken the form of a well-dressed conple, who manage, by consulting the directory or otherwise, to first ascertain the name of the - occupants, end boldly send up thelr cards. It {he response 18 a request for further informa- tion 85 to the object of their visit, then a peatly-printed circular is sent to the mistress of the mansfon, stating that a lot of rare laces recently brought from Europe by a bankrupt merchant’s family will be shown, and if desired yill be-sold at a fabulously low price. This device fails sbout twice out of every three calls, but the beit succeeds the third time, and, when the information is conveyed in & whisper {that these laces paid no duties, and would be a are bargain in ce or Brussels, the unsus- Pecting walk straight in the trap. Tt is remark- sble what a passion some people have for pur- chasing smuggled goods, and upon this well- Jmown weakness professional tricksters are now racticing.

A decided furore has been created in this city snd Brooklyn by the performance of Mr, William Irving Bishop, at Chickering Hall, who permits dergymen and others to bind his wrists, ankles, limbs, ete., with cords as tightly and securely as they may, and then as easily removes them as if they were made of tow. He has given several exhibitions of this character, and on the Iast occasion the tying was done by Dr. Milton Bradley, Dr. Meredith and Mr. Clark Bell. The cord spparently rendered Mr. Bishop immovable. He released himself in the full presence of the sadience, and afterwards, on being fastened a gecond time, performed the tricks of %}aying upon musical “instruments, holding up lood] hands, & 1a Eva Fay, as openly as daylight itsdi}: These entertaimnents are for the elite, and have been attended by aristocratic audiences. The Jower strata can see the same thing on Broad- ‘way near Broome street, where the exhibition of 2 man tightly bound with ropes ‘releasing him- self with a few contortions of the body is in hourly gmzres& fact, the cabinet manifesta- tions “of the Davenport Bros., the Fays, and others, have been so thoroughbly exposed that the only surprise is that apparently intelligent mple are still led astray by the claim of there g something supernatural in such entertain- ments. EATE FIELD AND MATRIMONTY. One of the morning journals gives credence to a statement which has been in circulation at the Lotos rooms for nearly a month that Kate Field will shortly return to America and marry a journalist,—a critic himsclf, the story says. The ramor connects the party with the Tribung, ‘but it may not be trie, so I will for the present protect his name. The ¢ gentle Kate” fs said to have achicved a marked success in minor parts on the stage in ‘England, and her ambition is to make the New York critics acknowledge that she is (not that she may be, but that she is) an actress capable of sustaining leading parts Miss Field was never accused exactly of man- hating while in New York, but she was known asone far removed from susceptibility to the masculine gender. Her Indy fricnds entircly discredit the story of matrimonial intent. ’l’heg say she was cut out for a literary spinster, an used laughingly to sey “ When 1 am aa old maid,” cte.” She is described as a prodigious worker,—studying for the stage, Lkceping up journalistic correspondence, going into society, penning mr:fim“ articles, visiting libraries for new materials for literary grodumons —all go- ing on at the same time.~ One of Ler Intimates eays her husband ought to supply_her with a stesm-engine to save ber from wearing out. THRASHED BY A CHORUS-SINGER. - Mr. Fred Rullman, who has been at various times connected with operatic and musical of Brother Moody in the shape of a substantial gift of $1,000. He considered Dublin a mission- ary field for Protestant Americans, and asked for donations in that spirit. One portion of his statement will show how truly catholic Amert- cans are in their gifts: that already $7,500 of g‘es 550,000 expected from this country had been ed. A TORONTO BRIDE'S TROUBLES. A singular runaway case came to light last Saturday—a bride of less than ten days arrived in the city searching for her husband, whom she suspected of trying to abandon her and hasten toEurope clandestinely. The parties were mar- ried in Toronto on the 3d,—the husband, a wid- ower with considerable property, a retired mer- chant of a Canadian city. Hehada son nearly 20 years old, who conceived a violent op- position to his father’s sccond marriage. The ‘woman is the daughter of a well-to-do farmer, and it was a pure case of love on her part. The third day after the mnm'nge the husband mys- teriously disappeared, and the son with him. From some clews obtained in Toronto it is sus- pected that the son persuaded the father to abandon his wife and gu abroad. They were traced to this city, and, In company with a de- tective, all the outgoing European steamers were visited, but in vain. Later developments ‘prove that the husband had secretly conveyed all his property prior to marriage to his son, and the distressed bride now suspects that the mar- riage Was an Intentional swindle from the begin- ning. & A VETERAN IN TAE TOILS, Playgoers in this city will smile whenitis generally known that the veteran actor, Charles H. Fisher, was yesterday married to Miss Jo- sephine H. Shaw. Fisher i5 65 and the bride 20. Heisoneof the leading actors in Daly’s Fifth Avenue Company, and one of the best repre- sentatives of the sturdy old-men characters in the country. His age and digulficd bearing have made him a great favorite with the ladies of the company, and any one who has secn him in the «Big Bonanza,” with Emily Rigl on one shoul- der and Fanny Davenport on thie other, and his arms around them, must have envied him the actor’s privilege, and, if & womun, must have eu- vied the actresses their privilege. Well, it is the old st.ox;y—o]d head and young heart. The lady is only forty-five years his junior, but s it is an unquéstioned love-mateh, and ifisher, veteran though he is,is yet in his prime, long life and ‘happiness may result from the marriage. THE REALISTIC DRAMA. The critics have invented a mew term, the ¢t realistic drama,” by which they mean those plays where everything shall conform to the natural. Of course this is impracticable, but the idea is to approach the realistic as nearly as possible. Heretofore this sort of thing has been reserved tor the old Bowery, whose horse picces have been popularized, and where the trick of shooting real apples with real bullets from a enterprises as manager or financial backer, was } dummy fig‘}u’e a tiv;tw éhe u;zl“‘ashcd ui;;lmyi assaulted this city a few days ago under | Just now Joc Murpl performing one of o 2 > Skl these realistic (lmmnsymned “Kerry Cow,” in singular circamstances. On the last night of the English Opera at the Academy of Music, Rullman treated the chorus-singers to a couple of kegs of lager. For some reason, however, be harbored a prejudice against Miss Welchart, one of the chorus, and he forbade her taking any of the becr. Not heeding the prohibition, the girl helped herself to *swet lager,” whereupoz Rullman gave vent to his indignation in terms more forcible than polite. Last Friday the girl met Rullman on East Fourtecntk street, and he looked at her s0 wxdn:dl‘y:j that ;]:5)::“:‘( :; m;,n pocking t into the ?ul&r?zf hen b e Ulows fast and thick upon lis shealders.

POLO BENNETT'S HOBBY. A well’known yachtsman was asked a few days ago what had become of Bennett's famous secht, the Dauntless. The reply was: “Ob, sheis laid up in Gowan’s Bay all covered over with seaweeds waiting for Jim Bennett to get tired of polo and otherwise making a d—d fool of himself.” This is just about the popular opinion of the polo business. Take away the notoriety given to it by the Swn, Herald, and Times, and that weckly toady, the HomeJournal, and even the polo performers would weary of it. Some amusing stories are told of the game at Jerome Park. The players and thelr ponies usually get sorely pummeled by the mallets, and are heartily glad when it is all over, espe- cially the ponfes. During a recentoncounter all the players, Bennett included, received so many blows as to demoralize lbelparh but the Herald proprietor astonished his fellow-players by re- Questing another game. But lis associates couldp’t see it, aud probably, if the poniescould Lave made thetr wills on the subject known, they would have united in 3 vote of thanks to those who oppused the renewal of the conteet. which there is 2 blacksmith shop with real forge and fire, and the actor forges a real horse-shoe and shoes a live horse in the presence of the au- dience. All this is at the Park Theatre. It is suggested by one of our wits that Frank Mayo will next sppear in a piece called the “Hero of Tynm Mass.,” in which he will make a real 1cather shoe, number eleven. Also that Miss Charlotte Thompson will sliortly appear in a new sensation drama, in the course of which she will prepare a kettle of real sui’t—so::P. und in the last domestic scene frya batch of doughnuts in the presence of the audicnce. This proposal may lead to a new branch of theatrical education which will be of permanent service to actresses, especiaily those ‘who are married and go to housekeeping. SENSATION IN A BROADWAY HOTEL. - The guests in a well-known hotel in this city were startled on Monday morning by the sound of a pistol-shot emanating from one of the Jower-story rooms. It was followed by a wom- an’s scream, and of course there was an instant commotion. The room was cntered immediate- 1y, and the explanation was very simple—~it was 2 case of delirium tremens, but might have been a murder. The woman was the man's wife; he had risen from his drunken revel, seized a pistol, and fired at random, doing no damage but frighteniog the guests. This per- formsance gave great oflense to the guests on the same floor, and tle partics were on the same day Tequested to fiud board clsewhere, The man is 2 member of the New York Stock Exchange and the Unfon Club. His intemperate habits are his curse, and if he escapes bankruptey it will be a miracle. REMARKABLE MEDIATION BY THE POLICE. An extraordinary case of peace-making isre- ported from Brooklyn this morning. About 9 2. m. a well-dressed German, named Sauer, cn- tered the Chief of Police’s office with aletter of introduction from Bfttimore. He was in search of his runaway wife, whom he knew was in Brooklyn. A detective found the woman, who is young, pretty; and well-dressed. She was es- corted to the office and advised to see her hus- pand. She resolutely refused to do so, and stated she had permanently left him for good and satisfactory reasons. The eloquence of the Chief was #t, first unable tomove her.

The Chicf persevered in his advice, however, and she relented so far as to assent 1o seeing him in the presence.of two {riends. The iuterview took plac. The trouble had been two zrown step-daughters. The hus- ‘band agreed to remove them trom s home and the wife agreed to return to him. Tiey kissed and made up, and the Chicf was bapyy. 1t is proposed that the Brooklyn Chief shalle made 2 member of the next Advisory Counsel in the Beccher case. WIAT A TACHT-RACE MEANS.

FAILURE OF TIE OFPENBACH VISIT. The managers of the Offenbach cnterprise «nust be tired of the bargain. The concerts at the Hippodrome were not entircly faflures o far as concerns the crowd present, but there- ceipts at *the door were insufficient to pay ex- penses. The French opera-composer is all right, however; he has responsible names to his con- tract, and will receive all that thebond calls for without doubt, but it twill probably be another Barry Sullivan experience. ~ The latter . cost Jarrett & Palmer $10,000 over the receipts; but Sullivan recetved $30,000, and thought jta £00d thing, Offenbach will get his §20,000and | ger, and gladress when the smooth water Tots of fun beslde, but_ his mansger will lose | reached. ~Verily there is nothing liké making half that sum and miss the fun. ereis an at- | an uncomforteble thing fashiopable to induce tempt to recover -somo of the loss by losning | people to suffer for fashion’s sake.

Chief among the Grand Jurisdictions in point of membership and benevolence stands Penn- 6ylvanis,—its number of lodges nearly a thou- sand, and its membership nearly a hundred thousand. When a proper call for pid to the distressed is made, this great State always leads inthe grand work. We in Chicago have not forgotten—never can forget—that from that Sut? the Order sent over $20,000 to the fra- ternity here in its hour of nced. Pennsylvania is especially fortunate in having for so many years & very able and experienced Grand Sec- retary, the Hon. J. B. Nicholson, Past Grand Sire. To his carefnl and .judicious man- agement, hiszea), enterprise, and sagacity, isdue in a large measure the extraordinary sue- cess of the Order in that State. The sessions of the Grand Encampment and Grand Lodge, just held at Philadelphia, were of a very futeresting character. The Grand Officers of the Encampment. for the ensuing year arc a8 follows; George Bertram, @G. P.; — Jones, G. H. P.; A. Lukens, G. S. W.; —— Rudic . J. W.; J. B. Nich- olson, G. Scribe; J. B. Heiss, G. Treas.; Dr. C. Hickok, Rep. to G. L. of U. 8. Grand-Secretary Nicholson’s report 15 a docu- ment worthy of that competent officer and brother. He alludes to the Postallaw,andshows that he has saved money to the jurisdiction in sending the proceedings by express ito lodges, instead of by malil; also, to the disappointment of the (r:\lcmitfi' and country at large inthe fafluro of the railways to reduce their fares to a Efiurril that would induce parties at 1 distance to end. During the year seven defunct lodges bave beenrevived, and twenty-seven new lodges in- stituted; no Jodge has surrendered its charter during the year. ~ The following s the status: Admitted by card.... Reinstated...c.oee Suspended. Expelled Present number of members. Net loss of members.... ... Decrease of initiations from 1874... Increase of suspensions from 1874, Rejections, Past Grands Lodges in working Increase of lodges. ... Apparent number of Rebel In regard to this Bro. Nicholson say: The loss of 1,952 members, being lesa than two and 8 quarter members to each lodge, is the direct result of the long continued prostration of busi- ness and the enforced indleness of & large propor- tion of the industrial classes. The suspensions have been unprecedently large, whilst the initia- tions have fallen considerably below the average. Upon first thought it would seem that the last thing that world be surrendered would be thelodge, with its privileges and advantages, and the right to weekly benefits when sick. Yet there are many that neglect their %ermnnenl interests rather than to forezo some habitual indulgence. This fact is not peculiar to our Order,—itmay be remarked in almost every direction by the casual observer. The falling off in the amount of life insurance in this country is but an illustration of the effects that have followed from the same canscs that have affected onr membership. _Oficial reports estimate the decrease of life insurance within the past year at §75, 000, 000. Y i The officers for the cnsuing year are: George F. Boric, G. M.; 8. B. Boyer, D. G. M.; Samuel Haworth, G. W.; J. B. Nicholson, G. Secretary; M. R Muckle, 'G. Treasurer; 8. F.

Grand-Secretary Nicholson made the present- ation, and in so doing alluded in very compli- mentary terms to the distinguished recipient. Grand-Representative Muckle, in_accepting ihe gift, made a fitting reply, iu which he stated that the date upon the jewe! reminded him that it was thirty years since be first connected ‘him- self with the Order, and which step he never regretted, and his experience in it had led him to believe that it was the best yet devised for the benefit of mankind.

The body has always been noted for its hearty ml!ellowuhl‘f and free-handed hospitality, but t fairly outdid itself at its private reception on the 10th inst., at its Asylum, in conncetion with the offices of the Sovereign, Dr. John D. 3.

A SPLIT IN THE RANKS PROBADLE. The London correspondent (June 1) of the Western (England) Morning News, is responsible for the following: There is likely to be a very coneiderable nfillt among the Good Templars. ‘Brother Malins has telegraphed from the Cnited States that after o Tong discussion held at Louissille, Ky., last week, the Grand Lodge has refused to accede to the de- ‘mund of the British Regrr_acnhlllvel that negroes should be admitted. There was t0o great prepon- derance of Sonthern votes for the demand to be granted. The result iy that the re) resentutives of equality have withdrawn and const! tuted a Provis- jonal International Supreme Court to supcrsede the Right \Vomhi&.{'nl Grand Lodge. Some of the Can- adian Grand Lodges have followed the example of our fellow-countrymen, and the authorities of the netw international body are arranging for the con- wtitution of a number of negro lodges into a Grand Lodge. —————— Dining With the Bedonlns. - Before we began to eat there was the hand- wash enjoined by the Koran. The water was poured on our hands out of a jug outside the tent, about half a pint being allotted to each. The proecss was brief. The Arabs swung their hands, flapped them on their garments, and it was done—and they were no cleaner than be- fore. This clearly was not the hygienic oper- ation which Mahomet intended it to be, but s, may be nferred from this description, people here as elsewlere are prone to obey the letter of the law ratlier than its spirit. I observed sub- sequently that when they desired to cleanse themselves more thoroughly they rubbed their hands with sand, and on rarc occasions with s0ap. Semi-purified, we returned to our places in the tent, and the repast was served Wi thout a wo- man in sight. 1t consisted of a huge wooden bowl, about 3 feet in_diameter, lined, with thin batter eakes and overbanging thie sides, the bowl being flled with rice saturated with grease, probably butter made from goat’s or camel’s mill; in the centre of the rice was piled upa uantity of boiled mutton. . The chief setting 31: example, we fell toon_this mess, while the retainers and dragoman, off the earpets, cyed us with envy and watered mouths. Fora man accustomed to 2 knife and fork the eating presented difficultics, which, however, were nartmlz overcome by closely observing the men who have never known any other ald in this way than what nature has given them. Yet they have an etiquette which governs them as tyrannically as our own. Only_the right hand may be thirust into the bowl. Hewhoeats ith the left hand is fll-bred, and he who em- ploys both is a glutton. We imitated our hosts as well as we could; thrust the right hand into the rice, made a boy] of it about the size of o hen’s egg, squeezed the superfluous water and case ouit of it, and twitched it into the mouth Er a dexterous movement of the thumb, after occasionally the Bedouin manner, gmnunndn e s the indispensable taib” in com| Amphitryon. Another feature of Arab etiquette was to con- fine oneself to the same place in taking from the bowl, each one making his own hole and remain- ing thercin. In the beginnicg of the repast there is not much trouble in observing the rule; Dbut when the general level of the rice and mut~ ton lowered It required care to remain on the pre-cmpted_domain, and not invade that of the neighbor. The rule was ‘hardly observed by my neishbor on the left, who was & voracious cater, with an indifferentiy clean hand; he at lenzth ate away the barrier, entered m territory, and ushed me to the right, where Ifed on s narrow fedge until my appetite was satisfied; when this the two holes mlfid into one, I gave way, 8 Flopped.— lazy for July. ped.—Albert Rhodes in the G “CAPT. SAM.” His Third and Last Voyage Around the World. China and Its Women---The Beautifol La-le-la-=-Girls Below Par. Written for The Tribune. CaICAGO, June, 1876.—After scveral years spent in the boisterous and stormy navigation of the wild Atlantic, between New York and London, wearfed with the incessant hardships of the English Channcl and the wintry storms of our American Coast, I gladly availed myself of the offer to fit out and go as sailing-master of the Jacob Bell, one of the most elegant and fleetest of the clipper-flect. This splendid specimen of naval architecture was destined for a voyage around the world, viz San Francisco, Cal., Shanghae, China, and the islands of the East Indian Archipelago. A GLORIOUS SIGHT. Equipped in the most liberal—nay, lavish— manner, the beautiful fabric elicited the warm admiration of the * knowing ones” in the great commercial centre of our country; and, on the @ay on which I had all the sails set, to prove that they were properly fitted, while moored at the foot of Beekman street, admiring crowds of ladies and gentlemen, old sallors and old women, butchers, cartinen, and loafers, thronged the strects in the vicinity to enjoy o rare sight for a landsman, viz.: a 2,000-ton clipper-ship under a full press of sail, yet motionless as the ground on which they stood. “And it was a glorious sight! : There, with sky- sails and topmost-studding-sails, all bellying to a fresh westerly breeze; with her immense courses and topsails hoisted up and shected tchock home?; tacks down and sheets well trimmed; her new and spotless bunting stream- ing. [irnyly in the sun, the world might have been challenged to produce a brighter picture; and chcux“i ter cheer went up from the delighted crowd. Taking up my daily-kept journal of that in- teresting voyage, I find many incidents that may, perhaps, tend to wile away a leisure hour, an ut the same time prove instructive to those whose only knowledge of those far-off climes, and the remarkable peoples who inhabit them, must, of necessity, be guined from the books of travelers like myself. T propose to escort my readers through Orient lands, ‘Where India's spicy breczes Blow soft o'er sunny isles; lingering a while among the gorgeous islands of the Archipelago, and taking themn with meona horseback ride over the monumental isle of St. Helena, to the death-scene of the greatest Em- Eemr that ever lived,—the fllustrious Napoleon. therefore invite you to step on bolrd the mag- niicent clipper, ~ whose White wings are all unfolded to waft us onward around the world; and, although the ocean-march be a lengthy one, perbaps a faithful narrative of scenes in which 1 was an actor may somewhat relieve the monotony of an idle hour. OUR BONNY BIRD. On the morning of the 8th of December, the steam-tug took our_ship in tow, and, baving left us outside of the Light-Ship, we spread our wings to a light and favoring breeze, which, on the 15th, increased to a strong gale, which fairly hurled our gallant u}igper through the foaming seas with the wild bird’s speed; and, while she was scudding off before o tremendous sca, her tall masts sweeping, as it were, the very skies, and springing like-a plece of steel to the clouds of canvas we are carrying, I thought I had never before bebeld so glorious a sight. Scudding or running before the wind, ina heavy gale, is one of the most perilous achieye- ments of & sailor’s life; and this was the point on which I had my doubts of our ship’s excel- lence, stanch and “beautiful asiI knew her to be; but, after that gale, I looked upon her as the proudest triumph of naval skill ailoat. Each movement was *the poetry of motion,” and I surveyed her beautitul proportions with alla lover’s cestasy. CAPE-TIORN was doubled on the 16th of February, and, after the usual smount of heavy weather, we caught the southeast trade-winds, and on the 10th of Mareh we snchored in San Francisco Bay. . Here 1 left my ship, and, having received a tempting offer, I cmbarked for Ching, where expected to engoge in the og(um trade on the East Coast,—formerly a most lucrative business, and exciting cnough to suit even me; for, in those balcyon days, excitement was os essential to me as breath. Gayty the good “ Celestial? swept upon her course, the favoring. trade-winds bearing us swiitly past the Sandwich Islands, between Atooi and_Oahu. On the 20th of Junewe passed the Loo-Choo Islands, when several ca- Tnoes boarded us, giving us some fish and yams. The *Japs " begged for rum, but we gave them bread, withont the * fire-water,” and, lifting their hands os if in blessing, they Losted their mat-sails and steercd for shore. YANG-TZE-KIANG. On. the 24th of June we entered the Yang-tze- Kiang, and soon after anchored at Woosung, at ‘whicly anchorage several of the New York clip- pers were lying which had sailed from San Fran- ¢isuo 8 few hours before us,—a long and closely- contested race. B The officers, who soon boarded us, guve us the mewsof the Tae-ping-sung rebellion, and there was daily fighting between the Imperial- and insurgent forces; while the opinum-trade, lately so brisk and remunerative, was almost ruined. THE CHINESE NAVY. Alarge fleet of Chinese men-of-war were fitting out at Shanghal, to sail for Chin-keang- {00, @ town at the mouth of the river on whicl Pekin is situated, snd the Emperor was anxious to obtain sailing Captaius for his vessels. I re- ceived an application to take commang of a ten- n brie,~the Eliza,—at a salary of 400 chop* fillm Per month, which I gladly accepted; but our Government, through the American Consul, issued a proclamation forbidding its citizens or subjects from_taking any part in the civil war up my then raging in Chiua, and, chrowin¥ y n one o mmmiss%m, I sailed for Hong Kong the American elippers. VICTORIA. The Town of Victoria, on the Island of Hong- kong, is situated on a cresent-shaped bay. The strects are clean and roomy, and the houses are built on terraces,—the upper range being ele- vated far above the level of the sea. The town is overhung by lofty peaks and masses of. rock, that seem as if & clap of thunder or a broadside fired in the harbor would send them tumbling down upon the houses, causing an “awful Wreck of matter,” and a considerable pile of broken China. LA-LE:LA. Some of the native women here are quite ce- lestial in appearance and of rare beauty; and one young girl, La-le-ls, from Numoa Island,— a spot celebrated for its beautiful women,—was 28 eweet and bewitching o specimen of woman- hood as I had ever secu. Such teeth! so bright they secmed likelightning-flashes when she open- ed her pouting lips. And such a pair of eyes! so Soft and dreainy, with that ethereal expression that makes one thinkof the Mohammedan Para- dise and its seductive Houris! Ab, well! it may all scem very silly to read about;.but I am sure the lovely creature lingers in my memory yet, as a bright vislon of the and. of Faery. 1 uscd to sec her often at the sunset-hour, sitting on the piazza, dressed in a blue silk tunic, with full Turkish pautajoons or leties,—~ I'm su don’t know which, but looking Very bewitching and becoming, while tame snow- white_doves perched upou her shoulders and Kissed her lips with coviable familiarity. = Ijvas 50 completely infatuated with this beauty and o cousin_of hers, that I wrote some rhyn‘lnfi lines on leaving them (I wonder if they ever rea them), which closed, as near as I recollect, as follows: p China, & 8ad, n long farewell to thee, -- To sweet La-le-1a, darling A-ta-be. Beanties then are in that far lflrel[i';l clime That should be spared the touch of Reaper-time, And thiere was one whose bair of glossy jet, ‘And beaming cyes, I neve®an forgets Nor the sweet tones in w)fl%‘ihe often said, While on my breast repose&rhe darling bead, — 1 know not if her words werzyfalse or true, ++0, dear Fangue! My toosx{uch likee you!™ ORIENT BEAUTIZS. And here let me remark that our country- foiks form a very incorrect idea of the Chinese style of beauty. - The excessive obliquity of the eyes, depicted in the plates of thepictorials, and on the tea-chests, {5 not a geperal feature of the countenance, at‘:s any means, True, thereisa slight downward tendency of the inner angie of the eyes; but, so far frof ddtracting from the Leauty, it generally gives, y mind, apiquant expreasion to the beamiug jorby, whose lustre is unsurpassed. L AN AKCHORAGE-SCENE. The moment the shipgs gnchor is down she is surrounded by hundregs off “4san-pans,”—small boats, ma; irli aphd}women, some of by whom seek cmnloyg::nt wisherwomen, while others offer to attend upon ti‘e officers, and pull them to and fro during| thyir sojourn at the port.
