CADETS—N. C., Princton, Cal. To be appointed a cadet in either the United States naval or military academy the boy desiring to enter should make ap- pileation to the Congressman of the dis- trict in which he resides. The Governor of a State has no power to appoint cadets to either. The age for admission to the military academy is between seventeen and twenty-two and in the naval academy it is between fifteen and twenty years. STATE POLL TAX-—W. J. O., Los An- geles, Cal. The fact that a man served in the war of the rebellion on the Union side does not exempt him from payment of poll tax in the State of California. The constitution says that all male inhab- itants between the ages of 21 and 60 years, except paupers, idiots, insane persons and Indians not taxed must pay poil tax.” If Mr. T. has not paid poll tax since he gerved in the war he has been fortunate in escaping the tax collector.

A CLIPPER SHIP—-L.8. 8., City. A clip- per ship is one that is bullt with a view to speed at the sacrifice of carrying ca- pacity. It is a vessel built with very sharp lines, more or less raking masts and great -grend of canvas with a view to speed. It is the development of a model for the mercantile’ marine, first built in Baltimore, Md., and called “Baltimore clipper.” In 1852 the following claim was made for the clipper by the com’gllen of the “Annals of San Francisco™: “The elip per ship is virtually the creation of San rancisco. The necessity of bearing mer- chandise as speedily as possible to so dis- tant a market, one that was so suddenly overstocked by goods, forced merchants and shipbuilders interested in the Califor- nia trade to invent new and superior mod- els of vessels. Hence the modern clipper, with her great length, sharp lines of en- trance and clearance and flat bottom. These magnificent vessels now perform the longest regular vovages known in commerce along both coasts of the Amer- icas in about four menths, while the or- dinary ships of older models used to take six and seven months to cover the sama distance.” The Cyrus Wakefield and Til- lie S. Starbuck are not classed as clip- pers. THE DRAGON FESTIVAL—Enq., City. ‘The dragon festival which the Chinese pro- pose to celebrate in this city in the early part of June is celebrated in China durin the first five days of the fifth month. and there it is known as the “Festival o the Dragon Boat: Early on the first day of that month every householder nails a few leaves of artemisa and of sweet flag eight feet from the ground to expel noxious in- fluence and bad odors. Then follows the dragon boat races on the rivers and iakes. The boats are about fifty feet long and are shaped so as to resent a dragon in gaudy colors, as the Chinese understand a dragon. The festival has its rise, ac- cording to legend, in an event that oc- curred about 3200 years ago. Kiuh Yuen, a high Minister in the time of the Chau dynasty, pmgased certain salutary re- forms to the Prince, who was his relative, but was refused. e pro again, but was once more refused. Nothing daunted, he made a third appeal, when he was agaln refused and dismissed from the service of the Prince. Kluh Yuen, not wishi: to survive the ruin of his country, which he foresaw, plunged Into a river and was drowned. His countrymen, among whom he was very Dorulur, on learning of the circumstances of his death traversed the river in all directions in the hope of re- covering his body. The race s an imaginary search for the body. On the other four days there is a d festival, according to what the Chinese consider E:xnd. and about the middle of ths fifth y there are various superstitious and idolatrous performances in the houses of each family, according to established usage.
