Tllt CHINESE-ENCLISH WARS. Qualities of the Celsotlals as r * Di«P'nf» d «"» ron "’”'“ With European*. Ihe first war between England nd rhini broke out about the question of ^,,,0. In January, 1841, tbo ships of Vj EDg lish fleet were ordered to attack ihiBogue forts which defend tho river Lroaches to Canton. Tho Chinese ZL. fought well, and offered at some Sintsa stubborn resistance even at ‘Sreauarters; but the forts were car- Stone after another and either de fied or occupied. The following dc- SJj, were then formulated as repre- KSf. the terms on which the English rnernment were prepared to rec- a satisfactory settlement. The “tuition of the King of England as u&pendcnt sovereign, an apology tot discourteous treatment of Lord Na- and the right to trade with any Lt’where an imperial custom-house in maintained, formed the chief Lots. But although Keshen consent- id to these terms, as well as to the sur render of Hong Kong, it was only with 5,0 intention of gaining time ,as his instructions from the Emperor Taouk- iing did not allow him to make con cisions to the foreign barbarians, but nmd him to get rid of them by sorao stroke of diplomacy. CARRIEP nv STORM. Several weeks' further delay ensued, ind in February, 1841, the remaining torts of the Hogue were attacked and tarried by storm. Keshen was dia lled and summoned to Pekin, while, a the following month, the foreign (ttlement of Canton was occupied by an Englisli force and tho town placed under the command of the guns of an English fleet. Even this discomfiture did not destroy tho confidence of tho Chinese, who forthwith formed a fresh plot to annihilate the Eng lish merchants and their defend- frs . The mcn-of-war were com pelled to engage and to destroy '■je forts of 8hameen, os well as eighty ar junks, and fire rafts in the river.

The Celestials so far abated their pretensions as to admit that there were other independent governments in the world besides theirs, and that they wero entitled to certain rights and consideration. The disturbed state of China herself lent weight to these opinions, and while the imperial au thority was being reasserted to a great extent with foreign assistance the Tsung-li- Yamen, under the guidance of Prince Kung, had on easy task in showing that an agreement with the European powers was essential to the well-being of China. HIS FINGER IS HIS NOSE. Dr. Sabine Successfully Builds a Real Nasal Organ on a Man's Face. *fcw York World. There will do no further use in the future for wax nosea, and the dealers in these fair adjuncts of human beauty are anxious to dispose of the stock on hand. Tho man who killed the indus try is Dr. Sabine, of tho College cf Phy sicians and Surgeons, the leading rhinoplastic or skin-grafting snrgeon in the world. For years Dr. Sabine has studied the science of skin-grafting and has sue ceeded in covering up countless un sightly scars and diifiguremcnts of tho face, caused by sloughing wounds. His latest exploit was to make a new nose for a man—a real nose, ono that could snore and be wiped with a handker chief. The job was difficult as well as delicate and took a long time, bnt yes terday tho Doctor put on the finishing touches and sont his patient, way from Bellevue Hospital rejoicing in the pos session of a good, serviceable nose, warranted or money returned. Thomas Colt, upon whom the doctor operated, entered tho hospital as an orderly in 1871. He was attacked with a scrofulous disease a few years ago which completely destroyed nis nose, including the body structures, leaving an ugly scar, which disfigured his face. Dr. Sabino took|an interest in the nose and determined to stop the disease if possible by making a new nose out of one of tho patient’s fingers. The idea suggested itself from the fact that a man could get along much more easily with nine fingers than without one nose.’ The nail of the middle finger of the left hand was removed and the circula tion through tho little arteries stopped by means of ligatures at the base. The fleshy part of the finger was next split open from the tip downward and placed over the spot where the nose used to be. The finger was still upon the hand and could not bo removed until it had grown fast, so it became necessary to tio the whole hand across the patient’s face, thus completely covering the mouth anij interfering with breath ng and eating. The whole face was cov ered witli plaster of Paris and the arm held up by bandages in a comfortable position. The windpipe wascnlopen and a sil ver tube inserted through which the patient breathed, while a similar tube was placed in the ecsophapns for the purpose of introducing liquid food nec essary to keep np the man’s vitality. Three weeks later the plaster of Paris was removed and the finger which had grown to tho spot was cut off from the hand. The next step was to bevel off I ho edges and transform the finger into something resembling the nasal organ. Little scraps of skin were taken from various parts of the body and trans planted to the new nose. In about one year, which ended yesterday, Mr. Colt had a good nqso. Tho operation wss painful for the patient nnd heroic for the surgeon. It is the most remarksblo of its kind. 1 HE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER. FRIDAY, SI’ ITEM HER ,, UsM. IIE PRJFER8 BcINO DEAF.

Edison is slightly deaf. Some time ago there appeared in a St. Louis paper an account of an inven. tion by Mr. Leo Ehrlich, the former secretary of tho Ilumnno Society, de signed to enable deaf persons to hear. Mr. Ehrlich thought lie had accom- plished a great work for humanity, nnd hail sent a sample to Edison. A cor respondent of tho Sun, who had read a description of tho invention, wrote to ask what Mr. Edison thought of it and in order to find out what Mr. Ellison thought of it a Sun reporter mounted six flights of stairs in tho laboratory of the Edison Electric Light Company, at Avenue B and Seventeenth street. Mr. Edison was found amid a maze of telegraphic, telephonic, electrical illuminating, and other apparatus in a big room Binetling strongly of acids. He has grown a little stout since he came to New York to live, and his always good-natured face looked even jollier than whon he used to scream jokes into tho phonograph to hear them echoed back by the turn of a crank. “I came to ask flow you like the invention of Mr. Ehrlich/’ said tho re porter. “Well, to tell you the truth, I have not had time to try it.” “Not time. Why, I should think you would be in a hurry to remedy yonr deafness.” “There’s where you make a great mistake. I don’t want to be cured.” “Don’t want to bo cured of deaf ness?” “Certainly not. I wouldn’t be cured for $10,000. ’Do you mean to say in earnest that you prefer to bo deaf?” “Exactly. Yon seo, I am not very deaf. There are lots of things I don’t want to hear. Now I don’t have to hear ’em. “ What, for instance ?” “Well, cars and carts and licensed venders in the morning. They don’t trouble mo at all. My poor wife nsed to be kept awako all night when we moved to New York. The contrast with the quiet of Menlo Park was very great. She nevor got accustomed to the rumble ot wheels. But, as for mo, I could tlfcep soundly through it all.” !! Anvthing else you don't want to hear?” “Lots of ’em. It is wonderful when you come to sum it up how much there is that is not worth bear ing.” “What else?” “Bores.” “Reporters?” “Notalways; bnt some people will talk on and on. Now, it is so hard to talk to me that they get tired and stop. That is a great advantage.” “But you cannot hear the voice of any oi.o through the telephone, can you?” “Don’t want to. Did you ever talk through the telephone? Then you know what It is. So do I. I sends rme oth er fellow to do my talking, and I don’t need to sit half an hoar at a limo say ing. ‘Halloa!’ ‘What’s that?’ ‘Who are you?’ ‘Keep your ear there/ ami all that sort of thing. If I wasn’t deaf they would keep mo at it. Now they keep some other fellow at it.” ‘ ‘Butf can you hear tho click of a tele graphic instrument?” “Yea; that is a sharp wm,„i, uu u > used to it. lean Loir nil I want to.' k “Anything else you don’t want to “Well, I make a very poor juror.

A ‘ Ea, ‘ Nobody lias ever yet described the wonderful little feeder of tho Leadvillc division, which modestly leaves the main lino of the Denver and Rio Grande in Brown’s canyon nnd ascends the mountain gulches to the east with tile steepest grades and heaviest curves in tho world that are overcomo with tho ordinary drive-wheel locomotive. Afar np In tho range of mountains, seven miles away and nearly three thousand feet higher timn the bed of the canyon, is the famous Calumet mine, from which is extracted flic hem atite iron ore that keeps in blast tho furnaces of tho Bessemer works at I’m ill", r.vi-rv m .ruing nf tl>- v.-ar a ponderous locomotive and a small train of cars toil up this steep, and every af ternoon they inako tlieperiious descent to the valley loaded with iron, with the steam brakes on the cars, the water pressure on the locomotive drivers, and a man standing at the brake wheel of each car. This is the most wonderful piece of railroading in the universe. The max imum grade is 406 feet to the mile, or nearly 5 percent., anJ tho maximum curvature 25 degrees. The terminal of the branch is half a mile higher than the commencement. Imagine, then, tho difficulty in ascending with empty cars and the danger of descend ing witli loaded ones. Btill, strange as it may seem, a locomotive can not make the descent unless at least five cars are attached. Tho latter are es sential to provide the resisting power for the steam brakes. The trip up is snailisli; tho return is rapid, in spite of the steam pressure, which cuts the car wheels into sparks, that fly out in to a constant stream from the brakes, in spite of tho reverse action, in spite of the lavish use of the sand pipe, and in spite of the water brake on the loco- motivo drive wheels.

Under the fitful and dabious light cast by four campaign torches and be fore an interested audience of thiiteen "sports,” three legitimate sporting men and a Timet reporter, one of the most extraordinary figlits in sporting annate took place in a Kensington cock-pit at a late hour on Friday night. The pit room is located in a little building in tho rear of a low saloon on Richmond It is about twenty by twenty feet in di mensions and after the door is closed the only aperture that supplies fresh air and meunB of egress for the dense clouds of smoke that arise from the torches is a circular hole in the roof. About 12 o’clock two men, holding the contestants in the coming fight in their arms, entered the room and climbed over the two-foot partition into the pit. One man held a small brindle bull-dog and his vis-a-vis a large game cook of the Dominique species. Most of tho sjiectators had paid their admission tee of $2 on the simple assurance that they would see “the greatest fight on record,” bnt none were prepared to seo such appa rently ill-mated contestants. It wot agreed between the owners o( the cock and dog that when the contestants should be liberated the owners should leave the pit and allow the fightto pro ceed without interruption. It was farther agreed that should either the dog or cock flee the pit tho ono remain ing should I® declared victor, l’at Connor, of Kensington, and “Stray" Killion, of Southwark, respectively owned and handled the cock anil dog. Before the fight they pot np $20 each on tho sacccss if their pets. “Doc" Hogan was chosen referee. As the men released their hardens they sprang out of tho pit. Tho cock crouched, ready for a fly, while the dog, the moment that he was liberat ed, sprang at his feathered antagonist with his jaws open. The cock never moved until the dog was within a foot of him. Then ho sprang into the air, flapped his wings in the startled dog’s face and landed solely about two feet behind the dog. Tho canine and the cock turned simultaneously and laced each other. Again tho dog rushed for the cock and again the cock beat his wings in the dog’s face and lit safely on the opposite sido of tbo pit. In the third round the dog was too quick for tho cock and succeeded in fastening his teeth in the bird’s breast. He f' cnrcil a mouthful o( feathers anil small traction of flesh, hut the flap ping of wings about his face discon certed him again and prevented his following up bis advantage. Tho cock flow across the pit and perched on top of tho partition.
