Chinese Theatricals.
The costumes of the actors are grotes-
que, soinetimes hideous,in the extreme.
Occasionally a little danciag diversifies
the play, but this is an exercise never in-
dulged in by the Chinese off the stage,
they cannot understand why people
should exhaust themselves in this way,
when they can employ actors to do it
for them. Those who go in at 8 o'clock
pay four bits; and at 10 o'clock only
two bits are charged; aled an. hour or two
later admission can be purchased for one
bit. Judged from an American stand-
point, those who attend aChinese theatre
ought to receive a good salary paid in
advance. The attraction at the theatre,
when a certain calamity 'occurred, was
one of their usual long-winded perform-
ances, being a continuation of a play
'•which had. begun some two weeks ago.
Its plot bears some resemblance to
dames of the American modern school.
A young man is suspected of the crime
of theft, is arrested tried, convicted, and
sentenced to various degrees. of punish-
ment. First, he is publicly, whipped,
then racked, and finally brought to the
beheading block. Between these punish-
ments a term of imprisonment intervenes,
during which the mother and sweetheart
of the condemned man frequently appear
before the hard hearted judge.with piti-
ful appeals. for mercy and clemency, all
of whieh appear to be of no aVail. When
one of the characters. in the play fate
upon the stage; either from the effects of
a blow or a fainting attack, supernurher-
ariea at once step forward and place un-
der the head of the fallen man or woman
a small block of wood, or other substance,
for a pillow. A slain person lies in this
way until the end of the scene, when he
cooly rises'and walks off the stage, in
view of the whole audience. The stage
has no flies, shifting -scenes, or drop.
curtain, but i simply an elevated plat-
form, with two doors at the rear,through
which the actors make their entrance
and exit. The orchestra occupies the
rear of the stage, keepieg up an infernal
din with gongs, Chinese guitars and fid-
dles,triangles and cymbals, throughout
the dialegrie. On either side of the per-
formers upon the stage, not less than a
dozen actors and attaches sit and lounge
about, smoking, munching sugar -cane or
sweetmeats, and attimes even crossiog
the stage while a scene is in progress.
The audience at a °Chinese theatre never
applaud. Oecasionally a half -suppressed
murmur of satisfaction is heard, but no
clapping of . hands, stamPing of feet,
whiptles or cat calls are indulged in. The
,men sit with their hats on, generally
'4posting themselves upon the backs of the
seats instead of on the benches. Smok-
ing and eating are constantly in progress
among the spectators, and the practice
of running in and out of the theatre dur-
ing the play is indulged. —San Francisco
Ch,ronicle.
After the Battle.
Next morning I rode over the battle-
_
field, ( Morava) or rather over the greater
part of it. I am afraid to say how many
dead lay there; they covered the ground,
that is all I can say. But among these
heaps of mangled men gone to their last
account were seventy-four Russian offi-
cers, and, as is usual, the papers which
were in their poCkets were taken from
them Kier to their'burial. I chanced to
look at the heap thus collected. There
was a Russian passport on one; another
had carried with him a ,diary, which told
all his doings for the past three weeks;
another, less discreet even, had noted all
his expenses in a little note -book, and I
am sorry to say that some of his money
seemed to have been badly spent. But
there were two pieces of paper, the
memory of which will long remain with
me. At first sight they were only letters
'from home to the dead man on the Ser-
vian fled; but as I turned them over a
chill ran through my blood, and my heart
stoodestill. Between widely -ruled pencil
lines on the last pages of each note were
a dozen sentences written in such large
letters that my attention was immediate-
ly fixed upon them. It was not that the
Russian hieroglyphics were prettily
made'on the contrary, the little hand
whichhad traced them had been tedious-
ly guided as it passed, along the paper.
The heart -breathed words were those of
a very little boy: "Loved Papa" was
in each message, "When will you come
home again, my own dear papa ?" And
the little writer Went on to tell of how
home was dull and the days long; and
how the sun would not shine again upon
his life until the papa who was absent
had come home again. As I looked at
the great letters they seemed to run into
one. I thought of the little boy and the
affectionate wife who had penned these
loving pages, and then of the father who
lay face downward on Servian soil, ready
for burial in Servian ground. What
mattered it that a coronet and the letters
`CK. C." in a monogram headed the tender
message. That home at Dyvna or Devna
—I could not (mite tell the name of the
place—will be dark for many a day, for
the sunshine of that little boy's life is
removed, and the owner of the coronet
is no more. He had come to fight for
the Servian cause, and it had been his
sad lot to die in its defence. There
were other documents far less painful.
One was a list of 109 Russians who ' com-
posed a company—evidently a very
strong one—in the Servian Army. The
Captain was dead, and those of his com-
mand were near him. Anothereraper
turned out to be aletter from a brother Of
the dead officer on whom it was found,
telling him that at home they wanted
news of Turkish defeats and Servian
victories. The wounded man had ap-
parently tried to get at it, and had read
the last news from home hi1e dying,
for bloody finger marks were upon it.
There was a message from one who was,
one might suppose, even nearer and
dearer than a brother—a sweetheart!
at the end; and perhaps the expiring
Russian was trying to look at that kind-
ly word when death dimmed his eye and
cut the cord of friendship forever.—Ser-
elan Letter.
Be Kind to the Aged.
Age, when whitening for the tomb, is
a worthy object of reverence. The pas-
sions have ceased—hopes of self have
ceased. The old linger with the young;
and, oh, how careful should the young
be to reward them with tender affection
anclthe warmest love to diminish the
chill of ebbing life! The Spartans look-
ed on reverential respect for old age as a
beautiful trait of character, Always be
kind to those who are in the autumn of
life, for you know not what suffering
they may have endured, nor how much
of it may still be their pertion. Do they
seem unreasonably to find fault or raur-
naur ? Rebuke them not, for doubtless
many havebeen the crosses and trials of
earlier years, and 1 perhaps their disposi-
.
ons, while in the spring time of life,
were less flexible thali your own. ;
they require aid? Then tender it (Meer -
fully. Forget not that the time may
come when you may desire the same; ate\
sistanee from others that you render to
them. Do all that is needful for the'eld,
and de it with alacrity, and think not
hard if much is required at your hands;
lest when age sets its seal upon your
brow and tills your limbs with trembling,
others may wait Unwillingly, and feel re-
lieved when the coffin has covered you
till the resurrection.

Seeking Light on the Eastern
Question.

Miss Pennybun is hot, strona-minded,
and does not want to vote and' hold of-
fice, or any of these horrid things, yon
know; but she likes to keep well poated
on current topics, and she rea s the
daily papers like a hero, or ma tyr, or
both.
She
had waded patiently through all
the accounts of the war in Turkey, and
almost dislocated her jaws and dazed her
brain in attempting to keep up with the
times, but in spite of all her efforts she
could never get at the bottom of the
affair, and had not the least idea what it
was all about. • She shed many tears on
this account and wondered how it must
feel to be a man and be able to compre-
hend such deep and complicated sub..
jects, and talk on them fluently as she
heard some of her masculine friends do;
One evening last week some gentlemen
callers . were discussing the "Easter.
Question" with a great deal of warmth
and difference_ of opiniore and Mift'e
Pennybun, blushing for her ignorance,
looked meekly up and said: "Gentle-
men, will some of you be kind enough to
tell me what the 'Eastern Question' is,
and what Turkey is making all this fuss
about?"
Instead of the chorus of voices that
she had expected,there was a dead silence
for the spaee of three minutes, while five
gentlemen stared blankly- at her with.
dismay written on their faces.
At last the wit of the party recovered
his breath, and said: "Oh ! Turkey must
either gobble or be gobbled, and she
naturally prefers to gobble; don't you;
see?'"
"I don't think I understand," an wered
Miss Pennybun, looking pathetica ly at
another of the party.
The individual appealed to fid etted
uneasily in his chair and glanced hi rried-
ly at the door t then his face brigh ened,
and he turned to one of his comp nions
and said: "Heee's Brown, Miss enny-
bun ; he has given us half a do,zen aolu-
tiona, 'so of course he can state the prob-
lein." Nam
Mr. Brown grew:exceedingly re,and
erked his collar alit' it felt too ight,
but Managed to iiitiourate a reference lo
Mr. Green.
Mr. Green looked alarmed, but galla t•
ly responded that it :Mould never be said
that he encouraged a woman to desert
her sphere, and positively refused en-
lighten her. "
° Then a quiet rook ing young man in the
corner saw his opportunity and beg+ :
"It's a Very simple question, Miss Penny -
bun ; very simple, indeed. You see, tte
Turkish Provinces belong to Turkey, a d
the Bosphorus being the key of ViiPorfo,
the Czar of Russia thinks • of abdicating
in favor Of the Czarowitbh, which natural-
ly makes England and Germany anxious
about the balance of power, and excites
the suspicions ef Austriketvith regard. to
her Semi -Italian possessions. Servia and
Montenegro being in revolt, and (I hope
you follow me, Miss Pennybun), the
Spanish succession being a doubtful ques-
tion, Constantiuople is in an exposed
condition, and England is uneasy. Rou-
mania is: overrun with Russian troops,
and France remaining neutral the while,
the Shah of Persia ia at last waking up
to the importance of the affair, whieh
will undeubtedly derive the Ottoman
Empire of the Balkan peninu1a, thereby
rousing the Hungarians and involving
Greece and the greater part of Asia.
Think the matter is very clear, arid
I believe in enlightening the Wonnein
enough to make them companionable,'' "
concluded the quiet young man, leaning
back in his chair, while the tears dame
into Miss Pennybun's eyes ia admiration
of the stupendous intellect enshrined
within that noble form, and four unhap-
py young Men, arose to go, inwardly ap-
nohnbing their Own stupidity, and won-
dering wherein the mischef Jones found
