The. finest goods in San Antonio were sent early on the following morning to ler room ; and the selection . of three endwardrobes gave her abundance of delightful employment. She almost wept with joy as she passed the fine laws and rich silks through her;; worn And when she could cast off forever her garment of heaviness and of weariful wanderings, and array heraslf in the splendid robes Which . she wore with, such grace and; pleasure, she was honeatly.grateful woman. ;fin she permitted Lopez to Tet her old acquaintances know of her presence in her native city ; and she was com- forted when shebegan to receive calls from the Senora Alveda, and Judge and Senora Valdez, and many other of her friends and ° associates. They encour- aged her to talk of her sufferings ° and her great loss. Even the judge thought it worthhis while, now, to conciliate the simple little woman. He had wis- dom enough to perceive that Mexican domination was over, and that the American influence of Doctor Worth was likely to be of service to him. "The Senora foundherself n heroine; more than that, she became°aware that for some reason those who had once patronized her wore now disposed to • pay her a kind of )court. But this did not lessen her sat#afaction ; she suspeot- ed no motive but real kindness, for she had that innate rectitude which has al- ways confidence in the honesty of others.. There was now full reconciliation be- tween Luis and his mother and uncles ; and his betrothal to Isabel was acknow- ledged cknowled ed with all the customary rejoicings and complimentary calls and receptions. Life quickly began to fall back into its weld defined grooves ; .if there was any- thing unusual, every one made an effort to pass it by without notice. The . city was conspicuously in this mind. I Ameri- can rule was accepted in the ,quiescent temper with which men and women ac- cept weather which may or may not be agreeable, but which is known to bye un- avoidable. Americans were coming by hundreds and by thousands; and those Mexicans who could not rake up their minds to become Texans, and to assimi- late with the new elementscure to pre- dominate; were quietlybreaking up their homes and transferring their inter- ests across the Rio Grande.

Shanghai, from a Bed -Room Window. ing together, with some of the babies seemingly so disarranged as to be in imminent peril of their lives. And yet '.heads may hang down hazardously, bandages become loosened, and little bodies be all twisted awry, but there is - never any harm done. Just in the very nick of time the player stops fora moment and by one miraculous wriggle shaken her burden back. to its proper position, and resumes her game with childish unconcern. And a further remarkable, feature is that the baby never; cries, even under the : most ag. ggravating ,eiroumstances.It - may be ham ing limplyi and have half ;its body trailing forlornly down, but it .does not seem'; to mind it in the least. After the shake that rearranges it, it cornea up smiling, as if it were ,the most natural thing in the world- to be in peril of its life tiventy times a day. l In the foregoing paragraphs I have made mention of but few of the persons and things that attract thy attention and ;arouse my interest. There are pedestrians that many other—classes m e eye: Englishmen, h Frenchmen, Germans and Americans from; the foreign consul down to the junior clerk ; from the epauletted native captain to the free and . easy blue jacket. Native hawkers ; occa- sional Japs, undersized and dark, but prepossessing from the mere fact -of not wearing a . pig -tail ; native -merchants, coolies, servants, shop -keepers, porters, loafers and other street•throngers whose business or occupation can only be a matter of conjecture, all these crowd'• the foot paths and roadway, and pass and repast' in never-ending streams. I ;will close this paper . by jotting dawn a note about a peculiar national custom which I have observed, from my snug lookout. It is this, the ordinary Chinaman, aa rule, have their cherish- ed pig -tail loosely tied up in a knot at the baek of the head. This is in order to keep it out of harm's way. But when a celestial meets a friend, before he stops to : exchange the ordinary greetings, he gives his pig -tail a poke, so as to bring: it down his back again. The other follows suit; and whilst the two talk; the pig tail hangs down, and is not replaced until they part. It is con- sidered the height of impoliteness to onverse with the . pig -tail looped up t nor is it etiquette for servants to have theirs' tied up when attending on their masters. It is a peculiar custom, but not a very troublesome one. One poke at the pjg tail, and down it comes ; and then when the owner of it haslearnt all the news, heard about the new baby at Pok .Ung Lung's, round the corner, and the death of the yellow dog.; belonging to his cousin who Jives in the street of Everlasting Delights, and has discussed. the .market price of rice and made a. rei. mark about the weather, he takes 'his, leave, and by .one miraculous twist has got hispig tail tied up as fast as if it were held by a dozen hairpins and curl- ers,—Selected. Pat Murphy's Application. When James Harper was mayor of New York he required that applicants. for.positions on the police force should be able to read and write. Patrick Murphy, who could neither read nor write, was anxious to be on the " per lisle," and set himself to work accord- ingly. My bedroom window in the Hotel Shanghai is an excellent post ot• obser- vation. The large French doors can be thrown' back, and an easy chair placed so as to command the street below. It is not a wide thoroughfare, nor yet a pretty one, but one it must request. I have not to sit long before my in- terest is aroused. The jinriokha men are the most prominent feature in the street below. The jinrickaha—collo- quially, ricksha—is something like a miniature dog -cart, capable of holding only one, and pulled by a man, instead of a horse. it is at once the Chinese cab, omnibus and train in one. A long line of these rickshas and their drivers stretches from the hotel down the road in a kind of extended sandwich of men -and vehicles,. The men are uninterest- ing in appearance and . lounge; about in the most indifferent fashion. I could not help noticing one fellow, clad in a dirty garment, like a superannuated horse rug and with a pair of brown, knottedkegs, innocent of any covering whatsoever, First he seated himself lazily on the shaft of his ricksha, then he rose and leaned against the wall, 80 as to yawn more at his ease. Then he scratched his head placidly, and glanced three or four times up and down the street. • After a moment or two he sat himself k down, on the pavement, threw a stone feebly at a passing dog, - yawned and set up a -low whistle. But at that moment a European happened to come out of the hotel and beckoned for a ricksha. Quicker than the greasiest of any greased lightning that : ever flashed, my ricksha -man - harnessed himself to his vehicle,and with one gigantic bound projected himself across the street. He was before all the others,anddeservedly secured the prize. - Another class of men, who devote their energies to the conveyance of the public, can be seen passing to and fro all day long beneath my bed -room win - .clow. These are the wheel -barrow men, peculiar to the north and not found in southern China. Their vehicle is a curious contrivance ; a species of heavy wheel -barrow with a raised centre. It is something like a miniature one -wheeled. 'Irish jaunting car, pushed from behind. by a man insteadof being pulled by .a` horse. - The raised centre serves as a back, the body of the barrow being the seat ;; the oocupants sitting back, to back. These vehicles are mostly pat- ronized by the poorer classes, the fare being very cheap. Exceedingly clumsy in appearance,they jolt moat terribly and squeak as they move on at a snail's pace. The coolies carrying burdens at either end of a Mout bamboo pole, con- stitute another class, which constantly attracts my attention. Their name `as legion, and their burdens are legion. It is astonishing what a weight a China- man can carry on his shoulders, and what a diversity of articles. Building - stone, bricks, tea, rice, boxes of ;all sorts, water, articles for sale, packing cases, all is : fish that comes to the coolies' net. The bearers . trot along with their peculiar . shuffle, constantly crying out their notes of warning to the passers-by, apparently unconscious that they are performing feats which a very. Hercules might hesitate to attempt. Now a long string comes along in Indian file, laden, perhaps, - with rice,. each one with as ordinary pack horse's load. Now half a down, harnessed to a huge block ofranite, struggle past, toilingand straining like so many work. ing ullocks. Now a heap of light They were. not missed, even for a day. Some American was ready to step into their place, and the pushing, progres- sive spirit of the race was soon evident lathe hearty way with which they set to work, not only to repair what - war had destroyed, but to inaugurate those movements which are always among. their first necessities. Ministers; phy- sicians, teachers, mechanics of all kinds, were soon at work ; churches were built, Bibles were publicly sold,or given away ; schools were advertised ; the city was changing its tone as easily as a woman changes the fashion of her dress. Santa Anna had said truly enough to Holston, that the Texans had na flag to fight under; but the young Republic very soon flung her ensign out among those of the gray nations of the world. It these 'above the twice . glorious Alamo ; a bright ; blue standard, with or white star in the centre. It was run up at sunrise' one morning. The city was watching' for it; and when it suddenly flew out in their eight, it was greeted with the most triumphant - en- thusiasm. The lonely star in its field of blue touched every heart's.:ohivalry. It° saidto them, "I stand alone 1 I have no sister states to encourage and help me 1 I rely only on the brave hearts and strong arms that set me here 1" ,And they answered the silent appeal with a cheer that promised everything ; with a love that even then began to -,wonder if there were not a place for such;a glorious star in the grand constel- lation under which moat of them . had been:born. A short time after their return,. the Senora had a letter from. her husband. saying that he was going to New Orleans with General Houston, whose wound was in 8 dangerous condition. Thomas Worth had been appointed to an fmpor- taut post in the civil government; and his,labors, lige those of alt the public men of Texas at that folate, were contin. uous and Herculean. It was impossible- - for him to ieays thane; but the doctor mural his wifethat he would return as soon u he hadlaced Houston in the hands of skilful NUMMI and he ask= ed her, until then, to1e as happy tris her circumstances permitted, She mesquite willing to ober the re quest, Not naturally lnolinsd to worry, sale found many souroes of oontent and )pleasure, until the early day' bf June brought back to her the husband she so truly loved, and with him the, promise of a return to her own home. Indeed the difficulties in theway of this return had vanished ere they were to be met. Fray Ignatius had Convinced himself thathis+ short lease had fully expired ;. and when Dr. Worth went- armed with the legal process - necessary to resume his rights, he found his enemyhad al- ready surrendered `them. he bowie was empty. Nothing of its old splendor remained. Everyone of its properties had been scattered. The poor Senora walked through the desolate rooms with a heartache. ' "It was precisely in this spot that _ the sideboard stood, Roberto 1—the side- board that my. cousin Johar presented to It came from the City of Mex• ico, and ,there was not another like it.

Permission wee granted, and onoecr twice a, week the little girl took her Bible and read- a chapter to the'aged invalid. 'A week or so passed, and the. clergy- man himself paid a call upon the old sioman,' and before he left ha asked her hOw his daughter_progressed as reader of Soil, Writ. The old woman replied enthusiastically that the child was an angel, and had read her some beautiful passages in the life. of Isaac. .. ! About a month later the reading of thelBible having continued under the gime auspices, the clergyman once more celled upon the old woman. =Natur- ally he_ repeated his enquiry as to his Ifttle daughter's reading, and wai -sur- prised when the Old lady rtmliect: 'Well, she reach, very nicely, sir, but thn getting a little tired of hearing about Isaac." 3 " Doesn't she read *from otherparts of the Bible ?" the 'good minister aeked, ter he WAS puzzled. It may be other parts, sir, but it 4o all be about Isaac," the old _woman made answer. • <As soon as he reached home the clergyman called his youngest daughter ; him and asked her why she had such a', preference for the history of Abraham alid Sarah's firit-born.
