QUEER ROADS IN CHINA. Curiosities of Travel and Postal Serv ice in the Flowery Land. * From the Washington Star. Minister Denby has sent to the depart ment of state a very interesting description of roads in China. Outside of the citiee they are of the moet primitive nature, be ing merely lines of ruts across the fields. In summer they are fathomless, imiassab’e bogs, and travel, except on foot, is' practi cally suspended. The pig-tailed Orientals have never taken much trouble with road making, partly because throughout the greater part of their country the plains are a net-work of waterways, natural and artl ucisl, while human labor for carrying bur dens has always been preferred to that of beasts over the narrow and circuitous mountain passes. Roads for military purposes seem never to have heea thought of by tue Chinese The great campaigns of the Mon gol and Manchu emperors were conducted with hordes of flying cavalry along no fixed routes. China has telegraph lines now, but pre vious to their introduction intelligence was conveyed to the center of government from outside provinces by an elaborate svstem of post stations. These were placed about thirty miles apart, and relays of horses were constantly kept in readiness for the impe rial couriers. By such means dispatches were sent to distant provincial capitals at the rate of 350 miles per day. Kubla Kahn, the Mongol emperor, had more than 10 000 post stations, with 300,000 horses, especially kept for the use of messengers. In connec wHh the mounted couriers an elaborate system of foot messengers was also maintained. The latter were swift run ners and their stations were only three miles apart. By them the emperor is said to have received news from places teu days’ journey distant ln twenty-four hours or in formation from points 100 days away with in ten days. Fruit gathered in Feking in the morning was thus transmitted to the summer place, distant ten days’ travel, ar riving on the evening of the next day. Express couriers who carry imperial mes sages between Gartok and L’Haia, the capital of Thibet, make the eutiro distance of 800 miles on horseback In eight days without relief, riding night and day. Dis patches are placed inside their robes, and the latter are sealed upon their bodies, so that they canuot be removed until the end of the journey, when the seal is broken by the proper official. These messengers are lifted at the post stations from one horse to another and arrive at their destination with cracked faces and eyes bloodshot a:.d sunken. They sometimes die on the way from exposure and fatigue. The elaborate system of posts for imperial messages in China seems never to have sug gested the establishment of a government postal service for the publio at la: ge. All private correspondence is transmitted by private poitoflioes, of which there are sev eral rival establishments ln each city. These firms employ their own couriers, wbo travel on horseback, on foot or by steamer w.ien possible. Between cities, where the business justifies a regular mounted service, letters and small parcels are oarried at the rate of seventy-five or eighty miles a day. The charges for small distances are not excess ive, a letter being sent from Fek ing to Tientsin for about 10 cents. For long distances, however, the postage la disproportionately large. The United States legation has frequent occa sion to communicate with missionaries in the interior, particularly in the province of Shantung. From Feking to Chlnanfu, the capital of Shantung, is about 235 miles, and the usual charge for transmitting a letter thither is 40 ceuts. Competition forces the postal establishments to be very careful and reliable. At river ports at the hour of tbe sailing of a steamer the competition between rival firms in soliciting patronage through their runners is very brisk. That the sys tems of government anil private post should exist without leading to the construction of proper roads and highways is remarkable. Iu Northern China, where waterways are not so numerous ns in the south, intercom munication has always presented serious difficulties, which no attempt has been made to overcome. The large rivers are to be crossed by ferries only, while the smaller streams must be forded. At the ferries the ferryboats are intentionally constructed with a high side board so that the carts can not be driven on without unhitching. This gives employment to a crowd of haugersoa in lifting on and off tbe carts far a compen sation. In time of flood there is apt to be no way of crossing the streams at all. Where nature has afforded no convenient impedi ment bad characters sometimes dig holes in the road so as to obtain employment in helping oarts through. ■WITCHCRAFT. A Majority of the Citizens of the United states Believe in It. Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley in Century. Witchcraft is at the present time believed in by a majority of the citizens of the United States. The larger number of im migrants from the continent of Europe are more or less in fear of suoh powers. To these must be added no inconsiderable pro portion of persons of English and Scotoh deSceut, for a Btrong vein of super stition is discernible in many Irish, Scotch and some English, whose “folk-lore,” diffused in nursery tales and neighborhood gossip, has entwined itself strongly about the fibers of spontaneous subconscious me ital imagery. Among tue more ignorant members of the Catholic church of every nationality the belief pro duces a mysterious dread, against which men and women cross themselves and resort to various rites supposed to be efficacious. Where colonies of immigrants have re mained isolated, retaining the use of their own language, the influenoe of witchcraft is more easily traced. The interior of Penn sylvania affords better illustrations of this, and ona larger scale, than any other state. It has been but two or three years since suit was brought by a man against his mother, in one of the counties of Pennsyl vania, to recover damages for a dog which he charged her with having killed by witchcraft; and he not only brought suit, but obtained judgment from a justice of the peaoe. Various witnesses testified as to their experience in witchcraft, and only one said that he never had a friend or rela tive who was bewitched. In divers villages in Pennsylvania, some of them in the Dunkard settlement, are women who are supposed to be witches. Some of them are shrewd enough not to ap ply their art for strangers, but to those whom they know, as stated in an article in tbe New York Sun some years ago. They will sell charms to ward off lightning from buildings, dry up the wells of the enemies of applicants, force cows to give bloody milk, cause sickness in the family, destroy beauty, separate man and wife and reunite estranged lovers. In tne interior parts of the southern states, where a large proportion of the white population can not read, and there is little admixture of .society, there are "witch dootors,” who, assuming that all disease is caused by witches, secure thriving practices counter acting their influenoe. Tne 1 bila delphia Times, on the authority of a reputa ble correspondent, who gives many facts to sustain bis representations, says: For generations the poor whites have believed in witches, and the belief is deep-seated and {'h,* African population brought this be lief from the Dark Continent, and it persists among them to this dav, though the prog ress of religion and education is doiog some thing to check it. . . I have recently noted in various parts of the United States more than fifty such insti tuted bv persons against those who they daimeefliml*bewitched them; but under existing laws the accused could not be pro secuted except where money had been ob tained under false pieten'es, or overt acts of crime bad been suggested or committed. tariff reform work. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1892. QUEER TELEGRAPH MESSAGES. Pathetloand Ludicrous Side of Things at the Operator's Window. Probably it is the sense of the incon gruous that takes effect, but it is certain that death messages are more ofton ridic ulous than any other, says the Washington Post. Surely it was a dutiful and sympa thetic child who wired; "Mamma kicked yesterday; will try to make burial Mon day,’’ and the number of people who do not hesitate to make funeral arrangements while tbe prospective corpse is still alive is simply astounding. "VVe are all well but Sam, and he died yesterday,” was probably indicative only of the sender’s desire to break the news gently—aot of any fears for “Sam’s” fut ure happiness. And it is scarcely to be supposed that any ghostly visitation induced tbe communica tion : "Your mother is dead and wants you to come home.” "Just send five to help me; am starving bv telegraph,” was the cry of one impecun-' ious soul, and the wonder has been since as to the exact method of procedure in a case of “starving by telegraph.” Another source of amusement to the tele graph operator is in the curious names which come up in the course of business. When Mrs. “Whetstone"and Mrs. “Firm stone” send telegrams in one dav, the ques tion arises as to their possible i elatlonshlp; aud whether Mr. “Morningstar” and Mr. " Winternight” are neighbors might be an interesting discussion. Mr. "Raspberry Smith” gives internal evideuceof Afro-American nomenclature, aud “ Gooseberry” is, beyond .all dispute, the name of a colored family. M. "Rioh wlne” and Mr. “Cashier” might easily be Germans, but the nationality of the “Bone breaks” and the “Goodhauds” would be hard to guess. Even “Humbird” comes in occa sionally, and “Bosshardt” is too suggestive to be iileasmit. In offices where the operator must be also the receiving clerk many odd incidents oc cur to enliven the routine of business. An old oolored man went panting into a telegraph office once and indicated his desire to telegraph a small package that he held in his baud. He mot with blank unbelief all the statements to tbe effect that such a thing could not be done, and persisted in his request. "It’s just got to go!” he exclaimed. “They’re my wife’s teeth. She went off aud forgot ’em, aud I’ve got to get ’em to her on the train.” After some ten minutes’ discussion it was a sadder and wiser old man who shuffled slowly out of the office. Drunken men, too, furnish their quota of odd sayings and doings for the amusemeut of the telegrapher. “Say, what’ll you send a message for my wife at M— V' inquired an intoxicated cus tomer of the operator. “Twenty-five cents! Why, I’m one of the boys in blue! Can’t you make it anv leas?” The operator refused to cut rates, and the customer who had imbibed too freely de cided to stand tne expense, although grum bling. “You’d take the bread from the mouth of one of the boys in blue!” "You write it for me!” was the next demand. “It’s to my wife,” be went on; "nevermind the address; now, that’s none of your busi ness where she lives.” Being induced to give the necessary des tinatioa, he continued; "Tell her I’ll be home.” "When shall I say you’ll be home?” prompted the temporary amanuensis. “Well, tell her Til be home”—(long pause— “be home when I come, and tell her to answer; If I’ve got to pay for this she has to pay for one, too.” “Be home when I come; answer,” read the long-suffering op erator. “Can I say any more?” inquired the boy in blue from M . Upon being informed that be still had a margin within the2s-cent limit for a message, he leaned over the rail ing toward the desk and whispered confiden tially : ’ ‘Say, tell her I’m drunk, but I ain’t locked up yet.” AN INDIA RUBBER NAVY. An Indlanian Thinks the Iron clads Must Give Way to Rubber. From the New York Herald. As the man was going out of the big hotel he whispered to me in sepulchral tones, "CoL Rice is not right in his upper story— he is clean daft.” Iu a few minutes I saw the full-moon, Jocund face of Col. James H. Rice, ex auditor of Indiana, coming from the ele vator. Ms looked perfectly sane, and 1 asked him who bis friend was that had just departed. “That man," said the colonel, “is a promoter and has not given me a mo ment’s rest since I arrived in the city. I’ve just let him in on the ground floor of an idea of mine, and have shown him illustra tions of it. I offered to have him elected vice president of a company that is not formed. If my idea is put into execution it will revolutionize naval warfare, and an iron-clad will be as harmless cs a barge car rying a load of Sunday school excur sionists.” The colonel invited me to his room, where I saw a number of illustrations in the rough of queer-looking ships. I asked him to ex plain them. His eves beamed with pleasure as he proceeded to elucidate his ideas. “The cuts,” he said, “represent war vessels arm ored with tough india rubber. Each vessel is protected with rubber seven feet iu thick ness and with enough give or electricity to it to send the largest bull ever fired against it bounding back into the water. I admit that the common rubber is not of sufficient toughness to resist the impact of the ordin ary cannon ball, but, mind you, the rubber I intend to use is not common. Every man who makes a:i innovation and relegates es tablished methods to the past is in the be ginning considered a cran-k. But Ido not mind any little epithet of that kind.” “What is the tall spire in the vessels?” “That,” said the s ientific colonel, “is the lookout. It is a tower that can be tele scoped in a second to the surface of the ves sel’s deck and erected in the same space of time. It is 800 feet high. There is only one smokestack and it can be taken down in a minute. Cannons? Ah 1 that is a secret, but I shall tell you beoause you are not a promoter. In the rear of tbe vessel there is a turret tower with four destructive guns. You don’t see it, eh? Well, neither do I, but if the enemy appeared by manipulating maohlnery there would rise from the hull of the vessel, a turret, protected by iudia rub ber and ready to sink a fleet of iron-clads. Everything on the deck of my india rubber vessel can be dropped below in a few mo ments.” "Have you ever studied that branch of mathoinatios which treats of trajectory?” The colonel had, and added: "My boy. a ball dropped oa the deck of one of my ves sels would bound a mile high. There is ab solutely no power or force strong enough to drive a ball into the rubber.” “One more question, colonel. How long have you had this peculiar elastic Ideal” “It came to me us an inspiration five y jars ago. I was In Chicago and a weazened faced man with a voico that sounded like the noise made by tearing calico made life miserable to me. He had a scheme and for a week he became my shadow, trying to get me to go into it. I workod out'the India rubber vessel and for three hours I earnestly explained to him the fortune in it If he would accepts the vice presidency. From that time be has never said 'scheme’ to me again. 1 have shown it to dozens of promoters and have talked so much about it that I really think some kind of rubber cau be made to resist and throw back cannon balls.” "Have you mentioned your idea to Gen. Tracv, Secretary or tbe Navy?” “I'am a democrat,” said the colonel, proudly. “You wait until a democratic President is elected.” Col. Rice is spoken of as the probable nominee for governor in his state next year on tbedemooratio ticket. He is a humorist and a practical joker. Faminx and nihilism notwithstanding, P.us’ia seems to be the land in which human life reaches its greatest length. During the year 1891 859 persons died in the land of tbe c/.ffx who were between the ages of 100 and 105; 180 who bad reached ages between 115 and 120 alto suc cumbed. while three were reported to the au thorities as raving died after living to be 160 yeais of age or mure. IS ORAIORY A LOST ART? Belief That the Oration of the Stump Still Has Its Charms. Prom the Chautauquan. The greatest orators at the American bar are not orators at ail, as the word was formerly understood. But if the greater lawyers have discarded what was deemed to bo true oratory in times past, in other professions tbe power of orntory to sway and convince is limiied only by the uamber of those who have the gift uf oratory and have had the patience to develop it. A striking illustration of this occurred at the meeting of the New England Society in New York city some years ago. A young man known only as au editor, and not widely in that capacity be yond his native state, was invited to de liver the principal address at this dlu ner. When he was placed in the seat of honor something like amazement was expressed that a person of such bovisb ap pearance should have been selected as the chief orator of tbe occasion. Famous men had been invited to aocept this honor ln times past. But here was a youngster from Georgia of whom many had never heard and upon whose shoulders was placed the responsibility of maintaining the reputation of this society as the friend of the greatest orators. W hen the young man bad finished his address, however, there was still amaze, ment but it was due to another reason. The company marveled at this Dew revelation of what oratory might be made iu this day of practical tilings. Young Grady swept the throng, as tbo expression is, fairly off its feet and he might well have said with Bryon that he awoke in the morniug aud found himself famous. His speach and tbe euthusiasm which it caused,as well as some of the after effects, were refutation of the assertion that oratory has had its day. In the pulpit also there never was a time when the Dower of oratory to attract aud convince was greater than it is this very day. A year or two ago the doors of Trinity church in New York city were thrown open at the noon hour for a week. It was announced that a giant of the pulpit was to appear: that Phillips Brooks was to deliver an address of an hour's dura tion each day, and then was seen an as tounding sight, a magnificent refutation of the nasertion that the day of oratory has passed and that it is a lost art. Into this church there flocked men who had millions at their oommand; pressed in promiscuous oonfusion were capitalists whose names are known the world over aud humble clerks. Great lawyers and able jurists found them selves side by side. Even the chancel was packed and. had the building been large enough to contain twice the number there gathered, it still would not have been large enough to hold those who wished to hear this oratory of the pulpit. For six days this splendid tribute to the sway of oratory was maintained. Nor is it true that the oratory of the stump has no longer charms. Mr. Conk liug attained his great fame as an orator not only because of his magnificent pres ence and bis native gift, but bee mse he be stowed tho must assiduous toil upon every oration and had from childhood practiced elocution, enriched his vocabulary with con stant reading of the classics, trained his voice as a great singer does and bad become a master of the devices or what are called the tricks of rhetoric, by which Its power is mado most impressive to an audience. It is safe to say, then, that when another comes who has native gifts and subjects himself to the discipline which was prac ticed by Conkllng and by every one of the greatest of orators —Lincoln himself prac ticed it for many years unbeknown to any but his most intimate friends—then we shall have another demonstration that oratory is not a lost art.

Ilow to KrrngnUe the hymptoine and How to Treat Them, Hundreds of people have the Grippe who do not know It. Not necessarily the final stages, but the first stages. They feel paint in the heal, and a bad taste in the mouth, get tired and despondent, have chilly sensations, limbs and muscles ache. In some esses these things are overlooked. In most cases perhaps they are considered simply a slight cold. In nearly every case they Indicate tbe coming of Grippe. There is but one thing to do when these symptoms appear, and that is to take prompt and vigorous measures, to fortify nature o re pel the enemy. A little well directed effort at just the right time will accomplish very much more than labored efforts afterward. There is but one thing to be done, and that is to use a pure stimulant, something that will promptly arrest, and in no way Injure, something in dorsed by scientists, recommended by pbysi clans, aud popular because o efflcieut-Duffv's Pure Malt Whiskey. Two years ago, and last year when the Grippe was raging, this was the standard remedy used, and recommended by tbe profession It did more to prevent the Grippe than all other known or recommended remedies. It preserved many people in health who would otherwise have been grievously siok, perhaps even worse. It is as efficient to day as ever. It should be borne in mind that other so-called whiskies may not be so efficient, and if any dealer asserts that suoh whiskies are tbe same. di.trust him at once There is but one medicinal whiskey, and that Is Duffy's Pure Malt. Licks 3,000 Stamps an Hour. From the Philadelphia Record. The title of “stamp-licker" is not the most attractive in the world to bestow upon a young lady, especially when she is little, pretty and charming. But M iss Ida M. Crawford of 2,112 Wharton street is never theless a stamp-licker and, what is more, is the world’s champion iu her chosen voca tion. Miss Crawford, wiio has just passed her eighteenth birthday, is now forewoman of the E. C. Howe Company, publishers of directories, at Eighth and Locust streets. Throe years ago she entered ihe employ of the house and at once attracted ats- ntion by the lightning rapidty with which she ad dressed, sealed and stamped envelops*. The first time she tried stamping envel opes she did 1,500 an hour. She oan now do 3,000 an hour and has kept up this steadily fur days Strange to say, she has persist ently declined to use a sponge, and every one of the millions of stamps which have carried letters and circulars to their desti nations ail over the oountry has received a dainty lick from her tongue. Miss Crawford talked entertainingly of her self and her work yesterday. "Do 1 like the work?" she repeated, in reply to a question. "Indeed I do. In fact, I wouldn’t do any thing else. I suppose it seems very funuy that I should Defer to useniy tongue instead of a sponge, but 1 cau get along so much better. I oan only do 2,000 an hour with a sponge, and I cau easily do 3,000 without It. No; it doesn’t seem to affect my health in the least. "I’ll tell you a funny thing about it. If business becomes slack, and I don’t have any stamps to stick I lose my appetite and can scarcely eat anything. But os soon as I get down to work again my appetite returns, aud I become ravenously hungry. There seems to be something in tbe gum that acts as a tonic.” When questioned about her work Miss Crawford said that she could stick 3,000 stamps an hour and seal 12,000 envelopes (with her tongue) in a day. She can also fold 12,000 circulars and addross 1,600 envelopes a day. Umbrellas, silk and gloria, and mackin tosh c ats at LaFar’s.— Ad. LEGAL NOTICES. ( ’EOKGIA, Chatham County.
