Though the denizens of the Celestial Empire prohibit all entertainments in which human nay be injured, they have no objection its in which the participants are animals, us persons, especially strict Buddhists in the transmigration of souls, are strong opponents of these sports, but,the young men in China patronize them extensively. In every great city such as Canton, Foo-Chow, Pekin, and Ke-Lung. there are hundreds of sporting men who make their livelihood from mud or suapping turtle. They are caught and regularly traned. They are fed with raw meat and a drug that corresponds with the “loco” of Texas. In six months the turtle becomes savage and ugly, and wil dzbt and bite on the smallest To increase its bellicose powers, he jaws and teeth are carefully filed and sand- papered until its mouth is wade almost into a series of razors and needles. Kach day its trainer teases it with cotton and wood until it is excited into a perfect frenzy and bites the t ing instrument into small fracments. Six montis’ training puts it in good fighting condition. Young and old turtles are valae- less. A middle-aged turtle—that is, one ot seven or eizht years—is the best. When the fight comes off the turtles have been starved and teased for a week, aud are as ugly as may be imagined. Each is haadled by ‘its own trainer, and is teased and tlekled until it is iu @ violent rage. It is then placed ina small ring with its antagonist, aad the ‘wn begins. The fight is always to the death A throat hold means victory. Generally the legs are the main points of attack, and often both tiles will lose a foreleg in the first round. ail and bite as if nothing bad happened. These ast from one to ten hours, and are always In the western provinces wildcats are quite common. They resemble the American wilcat, but are larger and fiercer. They are usually eaught when young, and are brought so aa to develop their fighting qualities. A good com- mentary upon their training is thelr market value. Wheu kittens they bring about one tael ($1.40); at one year they are worth four taels, and at two and a half they command from ten ity. They are matched against their own ud at times against dogs. of about the | neral type as our bull terriers. The loody arid horrible. e cities the contest Is made more ex- avd terrible by putting metal_studded col- lars arvund the necks of the two cats. The fight is then resolved Into a matter of endur- ance, and frequently lasts five hours. When a wildeat is matched agalnst a bull terrier, the resuit is very uncertain. If the dog catches the cat by the nose, throat, or leg be usually wins. But if the cat gets om his back, which is often the case, the dog has a hopeless fight. After re- peated attempts to dislodge his foe, he succumbs trom loss of blood acd absolute fatigue. Cock tizhting in China resembles that In the United states. The rules are about the same, but the affs are often more deadly. Instead of representing the normal shape of the bird’s weapon, they are made with two or three points and with edges like razors. Under auch oir- cumstances a fight Is otly determined in afew minutes. In Pe-Che-ii the beak is eome- times shod with pointed steel, aud no gaffs are employed. Unless the eye or throat is struck the fyht is long and monotonous, the birds be- ing covered with blood in two minutes. They are also stimulated to Increased efforts by being fed with grain soaked in no-ma-del-o, a liquor corresponding to whiskey. Fightlag or game cocks are valuable ja Chima, and have bees bred for generations. Those of Foo-Chow are the most valuable, and possess few qualities save those of great beauty and reckless courage. They range in price fromahalf tael (seveaty cents) to fifty taels (seventy dollars), ateording tothe strain from which they come. The best have pedigrees longer than those of our great horses and dogs. Male rats are very puguacious, ly in the spring.

They are usually fought in » smail not more than three feet in diameter. These fights are sharp and short, seldom last- z more than twenty minutes. Each tries to strike the other on the throat. just behind the ear, and when he succeeds death follows. ‘These rats are also fought.against dogs and Gener hese combats are uninterest- the rat having an Instinctive fear ot both animals. At times, however, when well trained, they show fight, and often have been known to kill the luckless cat or dog put into the pit against them. Quails, strange to say, are also, good fighters.

It is commonplace to say that the verdict of the jury in the Hugues-Morin affair involves an outrageous paradox. Weare told that of the twelve jurymen empanelied to try the case six re in favor of a verdict of guilty, four of an acquittai, while two were neutrais. The verdict, therefore, actually given does not represent the honest opinion ot the eutire jury. But how should it, when there wes no doubt as to the fact. and when Madame Hugues openly gloried in being the assassin of Morin? What the ver- dict reall does is to illustrate the triumph of sentiment over logic and law, to set up a false standard of what is legitimate and illegitimate, and. by coer we the distinction in the popular mind between what the law sanctions and what it forbids, to create a standard outside the law to which the populace may refer its actions. This wouid be on!y possible, it may be said, in a courtry wher: the dignity and authority of law are habitually compromised; and, indeed, France may be compared to an individual who rezulates his Sieben by no principle, who acts as he is prompted by the emotions of the moment—tem. pered possi acertain mercenary regard to alow ut who- hag, at the best. only a kind of artistic sense of virtue and its opposite. And yet. however much this national temper | may be deprecated by Engiishmen, who can say | that Madame Huzues' acquittal does not elicit | here a certain sneaking sympathy or approval ? In the first place, whether the lady did or didnot kill the rigkt man; whether, in other words, ft was Morin or somebody else who bad turned her life into a torment by his dastardly missives, the wotive of her crime was vengeance on the blackmailer; and azainst the blackmailer, the curse of honse- holds and the foe of society, most people would aver, if they were to speak the truth, that any weapon was permissible. But there is another consideration which may weil be present to the more coolly introspective Briton in his estimate \ of Madame Hugues’ crime. The right to kill is | not asserted in England inthe sensational and melodramatic manner that it isin France. and such a pieture as that called “Une Atm d@’Honneur,” which was exhibited in last yea Salon, and which represents two cocottes stripped to their walst fighting a duel with rapiers, in the presence of seconds of their own order, is the outward and visible sign of a state of feeling which does not exist in England. At the same time, the annual average of violent deaths that occur in Engiand is probably, not- withstanding the sanctity with which human lite Is layested by us, as large as in France. According to a paragraph in a morning news- paper on Monday last, ‘the carnage of Chris mas,” agit is quaintly called, included thirty- four violent deaths, “manner not speciied:” sixteen by suffocation, fifteen suicides, sixteen found dead, six deaths as aconsequence of fight- ing—four by stabbing, two by beating—and two by poisoning. When we recollect that, in addi- tion to these iteis, pugilism, cock-fighting and other similar forms of refined amusement are now flourishing once more, almost as much a3 inthe palmy period of these sports, we may perhaps pause, before plucking out the mote which is in our neighbor's eye, to examine the beam which is in our 07 Saturday Smiles. “Does your mother ever speak of me, dar- Nog?” “Oh, yes; every morning.” “I'm so glad.” “She says she hopes we'll be married very soon.” “That's pleasant.

So exceedinly decolette are the dresses of the ladies at the Washineton receptions this winter that President Arthur shows his embarrassment and discomfort.
