MUSIC IN NATURE.
,
Far, far sway, In fields of waring gold,
I bear the tasselt.' ranting symphonies,
While myriad insect orchestras unfold
Their rasping medleys in the apple trees.
In eeM of creamy clover, white and pink,
Bum tippling bee, all drowsy with perfume;
And, in the orchard, one wila boboilok
Breaks the repose of twilight's dreamy gloom.
The wind wakes solos In the somber pine,
Upon tae hillside desolate and lone;
And In the wood, through labyrinths of vine,
Is heard the brooklet's lisping monotone
Which mowy caverns, echoing, repeat;
While o'er my stul, in tender changes, fiowE"
Murmur no, melodious, and strangely sweet
The subtle music no musician knows.
R. K Munkittrick In Century for August.
Chinese Gordon.
The most celebrated feat of Chinese
Gordon was the snrtnrpaninn rf the Tpn
mpr rebellion, which in the spring of
1803 had reached its apogee. In thir
teen years Hnng-sew-tsuen, the vision
j-x - -
ary school teacher of Canton, had mas
tered a following of 500,000 men. Most
of the principal cities on both banks of
the Yang-tse-Kiang were in his hands
His professions of Christianity and his
control of the tea district had at first
enlisted many foreign nations in
his favor. 'The resistance of Mankin to
his arms turned the current of feeling
against him. For days the inhabitants
and the imperial garrison had lived on
the bark of trees, and roots of grass
ijeatuer, Doned in narrow slips, was
eagerly swallowed. Human flesh was
openly hawked in the streets. The sur
rounding country was devastated. Water
courses were filled with broken furni
ture, rotten boats and rain. Once
flourishing marts were entirely deserted
and thousands nf linn bps wata hnrnflil tn
ih ground. Here and there a solitary
old man might be seen moving with
tiemlmag hoius among the ruins, sadly
musing over the desolation that reigned
around. In the midst of these events
the Taeping leader put forth a proclama
tiou. "The Father and the Elder
Brother," he said, "have descended up
on earth and established the heavenly
kingdom, and have taken me and Junior
Lord to regulate affairs appertaining to
the world."
The foreign nations at once withdrew
their support and waived their ardor for
Uhrisuiamty in favor their interest in
tea.
ihe first to take advantage of the
change was an American named Ward
He had Keen a mate on a Boston ship
. and had landed at Shanghai with a salt
of clothes upon his back and six Mexi
can dollars in his pocket. He went to
PrlnoeKung and offered to crush. the
rebellion, for $10,000,000. The prince
accepted and paid a considerable sum in
advance. Ward s life was full of adven
ture. . lie naci been witn waiter in nis
earlier expeditkma, and had a taste of
civil warfare in South America. He
first set. to work to recrnit his menand
then to drill them. Dozens' applied
every day. Marines, sailors from men-
of-war, tea planters, members of the po
lies force, all the European adventurers
whom cbanu', had brought to China
were enrolled under Ward's banners.
They were a mutinous and rapacious
mob. They plundered all who came in
their way. They broke into pagodas
and despoiled them of their rare con
tents. They tore out diamonds from the
idols eyes dug up treasures which priests
had concealed, and scattered precious
manuscripts of Buddhist classics to the
wind. Ward was soon disgusted with
a i T"T i n ii H
mem. uenaa oeen createa a mandarin
of the Blue Button, he had married
Chinese wife, and he was preparing to
enjoy the immense. fortune he had won
when a Teapine rebel shot him through
the heart before the walls of Niugpo
That was Gonlou's opportunity, Bur
gevine, who succeeded to Wards com
mands, was, disposed to sell his men to
the highest bidder. ' The young British
engineer forestalled him. Fortified with
counsels from Calcutta and promises o
unlimited pay from Pekin, he called the
remnant of ward s force around him and
offered them terms of service. There
was to bo no looting so long as their pay
was regularly distributed. lie then
went to work to mature his sceme o
attack. Heretofore the plan for do
fending the city of Shanghai waj to
guard a radius of thirty miles around it
and remain wholly on the defensive
This policy he at once reversed. Having
raised most of the Europeans toposts o
command and drilled an army of some
four thousand Chinese he moved boidly
against the enemy. He did not direct
his attack on , their front, where their
numbers must have overwhelmed him
but determined to throw himself upon
their communication, seize them, point
after point, with the aid of a small no
tula, and bo clear the wholo country
down to the gates of Nankin
A study of the operations by which
he cut off the great city of Sooohow
proves him a master of strategy in its
highest sense, as his extraordinary con
trol over hia native contingent and the
wild spirits that offloered it had marked
him a true leader of men. His difficul
ties were unprecedented. The Yang-tee
Eiang had so long been closed to foreign
uuuiuirrcD luaii tun viuttgcia utu uotci
seen Europeans. They mistook the
army of succor for Tartar robbers. The
whistle of Gordon's steamer, the sparks
that issued from its funnel, added to
their terrors. Whole villages fled from
the "fiery dragon ship." Women threw
themselves down from great heights.
They saw that at Taitsan a faithful sub
ject of the emperor rushed into the
rebel lines and fought desperately on
the side of the detested Taepings.
Dimly through the , smoke he saw the
black and yellow banner and hesitated.
Then the firing ceased and 'he was sur
rounded by his countrymen rushing
through the breach. In his amazement
he still was able to cry "Good China
man!" "Show jour gun," was the reply. The
barrel was still warm.
" Your hands." His hands were black
with powder.
They pushed him back against the wall
and fired. He died in ignorance of his
offense.
- - With the arrival of winter Colonel
Gordon was before Soochow, and
opened the siege with which his name is
inseparably connected. Soochow is the
Venice of the east. When the city of
ho Foscari was a marshy waste poets
were singing the glories of Soochow, the
splendor of its temples, the beauty of
its women. Its canals traced their way
through arches of osier and weeping
willow. Its sheps and streets wore an
air of Parisian gayety. In the Morning
Plaoe the'Mowang or commandant of
the oity wandered among exquisite
oxnttns and summer houses. Girls
fanned him as he reclined in bis divan;
mnsioal boxes tinkled in his halls. De
fmifo Viii lnmrionsnflss he was a man of
character and ability. He was the fa
vorite discinle of the chisf revolutionist,
and differed in everv resoect from the
other wangs, whose banners were at all
times flaunting through the city and
whose soldiers quarrelled and fought in
the tea houses. Meanwhile the cannon
of the oommon enemy was .making itself
heard.
The Low-mun stockade, one of
he keys to the town, had been captured :
From the great stone wall and the water
gate the rebels had poured a fire of
grape, canister and musketry. Finding
bis native troops too cowardly to right at
night for after twilight they feared
heir own shadows Gordon had dashed
into the moat with his European fol
lowers, had swum across in the face of a
murderous volley, had snatched the
Snake flag of the commandant from the
breastwork and had planted his own
within a hundred yards of the city. ,
When the Narwang, who was second
in oommand, heard of this bold advance
he held a secret conference with the
other subordinate wangs, and was rowed
down the Grand Canal into Gordon s
camp. He offered to throw open the
gates of the city if he and his followers
were granted an unconditional pardon.
Gordon communicated this order to
General Clung, who commanded the im
perial troops, and it was speedily ac
cepted. Narwang then called the con
spirator b together, and they repaired to
the palace of the Mowang.
Here, in the hall of the heavenly
Father, surrounded by representatives of
the passion of Christ.prayers were offered
and the Mowang ascended the throne in
his robe and crown. He made a short
address to the captains, saying that Soo
chow should never yield to infidels. At
the last word the Congwang rose in the'
hall, took off his robe, walked to the
steps of the throne and deliberately
stabbed the speaker to the heart. The
Mowang fell over the table in front of
the throne, and the other wangs seized
him and decapitated him. Then they
mounted their horses, rode eaoh to his
palace, and the head was sent to Gordon
as a peace offering.
The colonel was not a man to waste
time in fruitless threats. He had prom
ised these wretches immunity and he
meant to keep his word. The entry bar
ing been affected peacefully enough, he
walked np alone to the neighboring
heights, feeling for the first time dis
couraged and sick at heart. In the plain
below he suddenly noticed a great com
motion. The imperial troops were rush
ing in wild confusion through the gates.
Yells and shouts filled the air. Not
without misgivings he made his way to
the Morning Palace and found it in
ruins, half molten bronzes choking up
the passage and only a solitary drum
standing as sentinel at the gate. Enter
ing one of the chambers and calling for
his servant he learned that the imperial
ist had beheaded him. The courtyard
round the palace was filled with an angry
mob;, swords were being drawn and
pistoltt fired. In the midst of the hub
bub Gordon appeared on the threshold.
The crowd fell back as though lightning
had stricken them. Calmly the colonel
raised his hand and the noise ceased.
A passage was cleared for him, and,
touching his pith helmet in ironical
salute, he walked at an easy pace to Gen
eral Ohing's stookade. There, in a
ghastly row, were the heads of all the
Wangs. The bodies had been slashed
down the chest; the wounds ob the head
were most terrible. Gordon said not a
word, me knew that & great ..clamor of
treachery would be raised against him ;
but be silently turned away, went back
to the palace, scrawled four words on
paper "Thou prince of liars" sent
them to General Ching, and, bidding
those of his soldiers follow him who
would, rode hastily from the city. He
wrote to Sir Frederick Bruce, the Am
bassador, taking upon himself all re
sponsibility for Ching's baseness. He
allowed the British missionaries to carry
home maudlin stories of his atrocities.
He suffered the philanthropists of Exeter
Hall to prate of the wrongs which thu
Taepings had suffered at hU hands. He
merely said that he would not sheathe his
sword until the rebellion had been crushed
and he kept his word. His men clung
to him with the devotion of the Tenth
Legion to Ctosar. With his gunboats he
cut off so completely the communica
tions of Nankin that not a sound could
be heard from the beleagured city but
the bamboo signals of the sentinels
around the forts and the drums of the
guards in the lookout houses on walk.
Before the spring was past the capital
had fallen, the leader of the Taepings
had poisoned himself with gold leaf and
his fugitive was suing for peace in the
southern provinces. Colonel Gordon
was offered a fortune by the grateful
country which he had saved. He re
plied that he had not served for money
and would accept nothing. He left China
as poor as he came.
He was to visit the country once more.
In the spring of 1580 he went to Pekin
on a mission of peace. He had been
elected to mediate between Russia and
China. Strange emotions filled his mind,
as he sailed toward the capital. Passing
the mouth of the Yang-tse-Kiang, under
a sapphire sky and bright eastern sun,
he thought of the desolation he had left
upon its shores. Once more the richest
land in China, he remembered when its
horizon was unbroken except by graves,
commemorative arches and heaps of
ruins. Over Its ravaged hills, now
olothed with wild tea, he followed in
memory the peasants in their flight, the
men staggering under heavy loads of
goods and chattels, the women hobbling
along on their small feet, their arms
filled with babies. The paddy fields
whioh the husbandmen ' were now irri
gating had been white with dead men's
bones. The reed hut of the fisherman
and the many storied pagoda had been
choked with corpses. The boatmen with
their hooks drew shoals of mangled
bodies to the sea, where the priest to day
sat drumming by the waterside to soothe
the great fish that carries the world upon
its back. It was Gordon who had re
stored peace to the nation, and as he
saved it from ruin in 1864 so lie saved it
from war in 1880.
The Bunko Swindle.
The care and skill with which the
bunko swindle is conducted is illustrated
by the experience of a visitor who said
he allowed himself roped in for fun. A
sweat-board was introduced in the usual
manner, and a stool-pigeon lost a few
dollars. He wished the visitor to play
for him with his money, and the latter
firs twon, but afterwards lost. At length
he was told that he was indebted on his
account to the extent of $300. "I have
not the money with me," he replied.
"Then give me a check," was the fellow's
suggestion; "I suppose you have a bank
account; or won't that be convenient?"
It occurred to the visitor that to sign a
check would cost nothing, as I could go
immediately around to the bank and stop
payment. A blank check was prod need
and he filled it out. The gambler scru
tizized it and then dried the ink with a
newspaper in lieu of a blotter.'
The stool-pigeon had bee quiet for
a while. Now he suddenly broke
out: "This is a friend of mine," he ex
claimed, savagely, "and I won't see him
swindled; he shan't let you have his
check for a cent." He grabbed the
cheok, tore it into bits, and threw them
on the floor. "Come," and he seized the
visitor by the arm; "let's get out of this
den." There was an excited protest bv
excited
the other ohap, says the narrator, but we
went out unhindered, and I parted with
Dan on the i corner, receiving his con
gratulation pn having escaped un
scathed. On returning to the hotel I
gave to the detective there an account of
what had happened, explaining that l
intended to stop payment on the check,
but that no such precaution was now
necessary. "Don't you lose a minute in
goin& to the bank," he said, "or they'll
get there with the check before you. It
was destroyed? Not a bit of it. A news
paper lay on the desk, didn't it? and he
put the oheck between its folds, face
downward, as if to blot it. Then the
stool pigeon snatched out, not the cheok
itself, but a blank one that had been
previously placed there. This dummy
was what Dan tore np, and the real
check was left safe and sound. That's
the way they prevent their victims from
stopping payments."
Capital Punishment in England.
William the Conqueror, notwithstand
ing the rnthless, savage nature of the
man, -disliked the punishment of death
in cold blood, and substituted mutila
tion for it. Mutilation is a punishment
mentioned in the assizes of Clarendon
and Northampton in the time of Henry
II. In the reigns of Bichard I., Henry
III. , and Edward I., death was the pen
alty inflicted. In the two last mentioned
reigns it was the common punishment
for felony. It continued to be so, as to
treason and nearly all felonies, down to
the year 1827, until public opinion re
volted, and an era set in of mercy. But
ages before public sentiment rose in
rebellion against the syotem of barbar
ous severity, the English people had, in
their own practical, unsystematic way,
managed to a great extent to elude it.
First of all the clergy successfully as
serted a claim to be free from the juris
diction of secular courts, to be subject
to the ecclesiastical courts only, whioh
merely enjoined a clerk to purge himself
of his offense, probably by some mode
of fasting and penace.
In early rimes a clerk was delivered np
to the ordinary as soon as he was im
prisoned on suspicion of any orime what
ever. The Norman kings, especially
Henry II. , might struggle against this
claim as much as they pleased. They
failed, and the olerk in holy orders
possessed immunity from civil punish
ment. Later on, in Edward I's time,
this immunity began to be disputed, and
a clerk was not allowed to claim his
clergy until after he was convicted. The
next step was that the courts might de
liver him up obsque purgatione.in which
case he was to be imprisoned in the
bishop's prison for life. But restric
tion on privilege, which originally
was confined to the tonsured
clergy,' was followed by a wide
extension of its application. In 1350 it
was enacted that all manner of clerks,
as well secular as religious, should
thenceforth enjoy the privileges of
Holv Church. In construing this stat
ute the courts, ever.except in the tinfe of
the Stuarts, on the alert in favor of lib
erty and against tyranny, extended the
privilege to every one who could read
whether he had the clerical dress and
tonsure or not. All women, however,
except professional nuns, were for cen
turies excluded from the benefit of cler
gy, as it was called. Another grotesque
exception was that bigamus not a biga
mist in our sense of the word, but a man
who "hath married two wives or one
widow" was also excluded.
In 1547 a statute was passed whioh
gave every peer realm, although he could
not read, a privilege of a similar kind.
It thus happened that, though all fel
onies were capital offenses, a large pro
portion of offenders escaped scot free.
They were entitled to the benefit of
clergy and could not be punished at all.
At the beginning of the eighteenth cen
tury, women and those who could not
read were admitted to benefit of clergy,
and then every one charged with a clergy
able felony became liable to a slight pun
lsbment in lieu of death. The benefit
had always consisted in being excused
from capital pnnishment, and at one
time a man who could read coulddora
mit as many murders as he pleased with
impunHy. Later, a man who claimed it
was branded on the thumb, unless he
was a peer or clerk in orders, and was
not allowed to claim his privilege a sec
ond time. The effects of such a clumsy
system barbarous severity on the one
aide, hand in hand with caprioious ex
emption from allpunishmentwhatever
was as bad as possible. Yet benefit of
clergy was a recognized privilege until
1727.
Boy and Girls.
"If I had a dozen children I should
want them all boys," said Mrs. Thrifty,
Boys oia take care of themselves,
they are energetic, enjoyable, and it
doesn't take half as muoh sewing to
keep a family of boys along."
,"Now, if I should have any choice,"
said Mrs. Workhard, "I should rather
have my children all girls. Girls are
so gentle, so hopeful, and have so muoh
more refinement than boys; and then it
is such a pleasure to sew for them, they
look so prettily in the garments made
for vhem."
4Vory well, ladies," said Mrs. Sensi
ble, "you are both right and wrong. I
believe in a mixed family part boys,
part girls. TLe boys influence the girls
to self-reliance, the girls refine the
boys by their gentleness. A boy who
is brought up with his sisters makes
the most manly man, and the girl who
is brought up with brothers .nakes the
most womanly woman." New Haven
Register.
The bell rung by the San Francisco
Vigilance Committee in 1856 hangs in
the belfry of the Baptist church at Peta
lnma, California, which purchased it in
1858. During the war the Unionists of
the town rang it after every Union yio
tory, much to the annoyance of those
who sympathized with the south. One
night the latter took the bell from, the
belfry and carried it off to a public store.
It was recaptured and rung with renewed
vigor. Next morning it was found
broken.

A PEOSO.XAt, VISIT.
Dr. Moody, of Portland, Oregon, who has in
a little over two years' practice ia that city
won much deserved fame as a skillful physi
cian, will soen visit this section of this coun
try in order to comply with many urgent re
quests in order to give the afflicted a chance
for a personal interview. Dr. Moody uses a
new method of cure with which he has been
very successful. The treatment is simple, and
the most feasible of all. There is no unpleas
ant sensation whatever attending the treat
ment. Tho doctor invites all persons afflicted
to vhit and freely convince themselves, leaving
him to verify the assertion that there has never
existed a remedy so startling and immediate in
its effects. These noted curative aids, as
handled by Dr. Moody, are endorsed and ap
proved by tbe faculties of both Europe and
America. The beneficial effects are per
ceptible almost from tbe start. Cases re
garded as incurable and of many years' stand
ing yield readily to its mild but wonderful in
fluence. In no case can the treat
ment be attend 3d with tbe least dan
ger, thereby testifying it to be the
most harmless agent in therapeutics. Those
who wish to apply for advice or treatment may
confidently do so without hesitation or diffi
dence, as the most timid may rely on that in
valuable secrecy which has already proved the
basia of an extensive professional reputation
abroad. Dr. Moody treats large numbers of
cases by correspondence, but claims that a per
sonal interview will mora than pay both patient
and physician. The doctor therefore takes this
trip in order that he may become better ac
quainted with the country and to meet those
who desire the services of one that has had
many years experience in practice. He will
make the date of his coming known bv local
publication in this paper as soon as the exact time
for his visit is decided upon. Dr. Moody gives
free consultation aud desires those who are
afflicted from whatever cause, to call and ascer
tain tbe extent of their maladies. He makes
no charge where t&e patient does not take
treatment. -
