Washington, July B.—A slightly more hopeful feeling for the safety of the lo ea ions in Pekin is apparent in official circles to-night. The hope U not founded on any official dispatches which has reach ed the state department, as nothing has befu received during the day from consular representatives of the United Slates in China. The cumulative statements, however, tvhi, h are daily printed from various por tions of the empire, reporting the diplo mat corps, with the exception of the <;• mat* minister, as safe up to within certain specified time, together with the absence of any corroborative proof of their murder, is partially responsible for the raght hope which prevails that the min isters are yet alive.

The lights of the crowded and busy ho tel bathed the broad stoop where forty men ami women in evening dress chatted over iced beverages and burning tobacco. The great windows of :he drgwirg room flung out the strongest radiance, and b*- hind them a small company listened to spirited ballad by the mo9t musical of the gueslte. Beyond the stoop tlie hotel lights and the paler gleaming of (he moon melted to gether among the shrubs and small tre- s of a semi-tropical garden where deep shadows checkered the yellow drivewux and the paths. This was in Cape Town—a fair and en ticing corner In a shabby, dusty city: a corner all loveliness where the sinister shadow of rebellion and but half-sup pressed- treason murks every moral aspect. “Mother.” said a golden haired German maiden, “I will gth my wrap and walk cu: a little with Captain Simple, of the Wes sex Fusiliers.” •Yes. darling; cover up warmly, dear— but as I was saying.

Shoot dgm down, is vot 1 say: kill dem like rats.” The Colonel, delighted with the*e senti ments. next proceeds to explain that Lord Roberts will quickly end the war. He says that the field marnhal will presently be joined by French, and an immense army will move into the Free State by way of Enslfn and Rnmdam. The date of Ihe movement he knbws. but may not tell, though it is not far off.

The name of the Temple is not connected with pleasing memories for those who know anything of the history of Paris. II was derived from a stronghold of thoae unhappy Templars who early in the four teenth century Buffered death by Are that their domains might enrich the coffers of Philippe le Bel. In a tower, the sole relic of the mediaeval fortress. Ix>uis XVI and Marie Antoinette felt the first pangs of their fatal imprisonment, and In It their unfortunate son languished and died. With the demolition of this tower in the early years of the present century the last vis ible token vanished of these “old, unhap py, far-off kings.” The melancholy site was occupied In 1808-11 by a market (Halle au Vieux Linge), the predecessor of (hat busy beehive which is one of the most curious sights of modern Paris and is hereby brought to the notice of the ad venturous tourist The original building, though designed on a more modest scale than its successor, and constructed some what recklessly, it might be thought, of wood, nevertheless harbored beneath its roofs no less than 1,800 stalls, grouped In square, or “t at res.” Each'of these had its particular name, grotesque or grandi loquent, and was devoted to n special de portment of the “marine store” trale. Thus at the “Palais Doyal” were articles do luxe, ribbons, hats, velvets, silks and satins; at the “Pavilion de Flore.” bed ding and bed linen; at the “Foret Noire,” boots, tfhoe* and male clothing; a the “Pou Valant*’—name of ill omen—old iron and allied hlftcellanla. This institution, however, did not escape the inevitable Haussman, and was rebuilt in 1885 Jt an annual rent of 175,000 Iran os. It would seem that the business of the market is not so flourishing as it was, for the num ber of occupied stalls has diminished. The fastidious tourist must not suppose that nothing is sold here but articles that have lost their freshness or have graced the persons of a succession of owners. iiOSTETTErv ;.r * • 1 K> year*. Try It BREAKING CAY AURA HORNE*. It I* llooe at a Rlak of Life and Limb. From the San Francisco Call. ”l/ord Roberts is waiting at Bloemfon tein for remounts to be dispatched from the Cape.” "lan Hamilton's cavalry s ut terly unfit for further service until fresh horses have been received.” "The veldt is strewn with dead animals, rotting in the torrid heat." The cavalry horse has no nationality. The exigencies of war find him turning from rural scenes, from the land of his birth, to distant fields of battle, an invol untary participant in the strife of nations. He i a fresh product from the range, from tlte hills, from the breeding farm, from the great horse markets. lie begins ser vice as a 4-year-old. not being strong or tough enough to begin much earlier than (hat. He may last one. two. four. six. seven years in times of peace. He may l>e the veteran of several campaigns in timed of war. and he seems to deserve the per sonal pronoun. One of the ttnewt caval ry horses ever seen in San Francisco wts a full-blooded Kentucky chestnut-brown that is now in the Philippines. He car ried an officer up San Juan hill, in Cuba, in advance of the other horses that par ticipated in that bloody charge. It is wrong to suppose that the cavalry man breaks his own horse. The animals come into the service trained simply o saddle and bridle, to halter and rope. Then the cavalryman puts on the professional touches, leaches his mount the tricks of the trade, the way to lie down at iom rnund. the way to clear obstacles, the way to kneel, to stand, and ?> keep perft t alingnmeiu in the ranks without, fu&sing .ind kicking; the way to wheel on the turns by columns of fours; the way to walk, to trot, io gallop in company. The caval ryman’s training is merely the higher schooling given a well-broken animal. The man who first trains the cavalry horse is the one who has the excitement. Wild, unaccustomed to restraint, frighten ed. his whole body quivering with excre ment and fear, the young horse is lassoed with a riata in a big stock corral, into which he and hi* companions have been driven. Then begins the tussle to convert him to a saddle horse. Without p ehminrtry ceremony, he is quickly apporached hand over-hand along the top* and led apart from the rest of the herd. Vaqueros. skilled horsemen, rough riders, are all about him In an expectant group. The “topoco.” a leathern blindfold, is cautious ly adjusted to his bead and deftly drawn down over his eyes. He quiver*, his leg* trembling under him. Cautiously the palm of the breaker’s band is laid first on the mane, and then patted slowly along to Ihe wither*, and then to the back. Still the poor animal trembles like an aspen leaf. Very gently and silently now the nun reaches for the blanket, and. holding it over the bark with both hands, delicately lowers it down upon the quivering and frightened beast. It may not rest there an instant. The horse may Jump, hump his back like a cat on the defensive in the sudden presence of a dog; shake his head in wild, violen;. stubborn vibrations, and send the blanket off. and then continue rearing and plunging about. He may re main quaking, and lei the saddle blanket rest where it was placed. If lie does, the* breaker reaches- just a* carefully for the saddle, a great big thirty or foryq>ound affair, with broad w oven-hair girtn or cinch, with big stirrup* and broad sweat leathers to protect the trousers leg from the lathering sides of the horse. The stir rup* and cinch will be carefully crossed over (ho seat of the saddle, to be out of the way. Then the saddle will be lowered ever so cautiously on top of the blanket. The clnm is carefully lowered off so that it may fall down toward (he other side and without swinging and striking th* animal. Even more cautiounly the man reaches undet an takes hold of th* pen dant cinch, and drawn the end toward him. slowly resting it until It is within reach of the girth straps that are to be pneead and rrpassed through Ihe cinch ring and the ring t the side of the cad die. All th? while tht- horse is trembling; hut quiet. The man works as skillfully as the mrpeon perferminp a capital operation. Little by little the plrth Is brought closer to the animal's belly, and little by little it is tightened until It is a firm anchorage for the saddle. Then (he stirrups are deft ly dropped. If the horse be particularly sturdy-looklng and has a mean eye, the Stirrups are connected by a bit of rope passed loosely from one to Ihe other un der the belly. This is to prevent the man’s feet from swinging up on a level with the seat during the violent bucking tactics. The horse properly saddled, the next thing to do Is to slip on the loop rope bridle that goes round the nose, and Is furnished with reins of rope and with a thong passing over the top of the head and kept In place by a silt, through which one ear Is passed. Everything is now ready for the rider to venture on his unknown mount. He takes hold of the mane and the reins with his left hand. Inserts his left foot lb the stirrup and gently, but quickly, swings into the saddle. And none too soon. With a wild rush, head out, hark straight, the frerzled animal that in all his life never had a pound's weight on his bark before now feels the burden of something like 200 pounds; the binding of the prickly hair cinch sticking him like bits of burrs all along his lender under skirt; a pulling and hauling at his nose, and something gripping against his s.des. On he races—where he knows not. He sees not, though the rider has already reached forward and snatched the “lo poco” up from the beast's eyes. Pell-mell, bits of earth and sod flicked up behind by his beating hoofs, the horse rushes across the level. Then, In the winking of an eye, he suddenly stops, thrusts his fore feet forward and flops on Io his haunches. The rider has been on the alert, and well he may have been, for this Is the mo ment when he may be sent far on in n frightful catapultlc header. For a mo ment ehc dumb beast squats there Sul lenly, his sides heaving, his heart pound ing so that the man's calves feel every bent, even through the thickness of the sweat leathers. Then the animal adopts other tactlea, but the rider knows his repertoire. He has not been a bronco-buster for nothing. Jumping stlff-legßed, coming down on all fours, with feet dose together and back suddenly thrust up with a mlghtly Impel ling force, the horse rearing high up on kls hind legs and instantly bolting down and hurling both heel* up and back with Impulsive and desperute violence, the creature exerts every nerve In him to loosen that frightful thing from his hack. The instinct of the wild horse of the plains Is in him. He will dislodge the panther or mountain Hot. or the wildcat that has Jumped from a limb and fast ened upon his withers to tear his flesh. Freni!led, the horse starts on another wi!l race, this time straight for the trunk of a mighty oak. like an arrow I* his course. The rider knows the danger. He saws on the primitive bridle, atrlvlng with all hi* strength to swerve the headlong rush and mls thirt tree against which the an imal will surely dash doth of them to death. He knows now that he is on a “loco,” a horse erased by fear and ex eltement. and he yanks with the energy Of despair ot the rope. Headlong they both pass under the tree. He duck* to avoid a very low hough that might have scraped him off and killed him, and his leg Just brushes the body of the mighty oak He has no moment now to breathe freely at hi* escape. The horse Is almost demented. He hinges and plunges, and. with a wild Anal rear high In the air. loses his balance and comes falling over backward, the most appalling danger to the rough rider. With instinctive alert ness. the rider drops away to one side or the oilier to avoid the crash. If he chances to choose the wrong side, he may be crushed under the bulk of horseflesh, the raddle horn pierced through hi* chest, h!s skull smashed and hla hone* broken. But auch are the chances that the bron cho-buster must take with these oxcep- t tonally bad horses. Time and patience bring tlte horse finally to understand that a saddle and a man on his back will not Injure him. Then he is rtg to b* a cav alry horse. All horses re not so wild. Some arc bred more gently and grow up as pets on small farms; some are ac customed to being handled and bridled from their colt days. But the hardy horse of the range, the tough-muscled cam paigner. requires the broncho-buster. TIKI TO PEKIN. Tile Mont Try lub I’rrlor of the A ear for Alllitnry Operation*. From the London Telegraph. “Remote, unfriended, melancholy slow,” is the region between Taku tat the mouth of the sinuous Pei ho) uu<l the far fanvd capital of the Celestial Umpire. For the first twenty-seven miles it Is particularly degreasing, constituting, as it docs, from the coast, to Tien-Tsin, one vast mud fiat, unrelieved by tree or hillock From the great treaty port of ihe north of China to Pakln iteslf. a distance of eighty miles, the land is fairly well cultivated, but the only objects on the landscape between the various villages are the kraal shaped tombs of the Chinese, w ho bury their dead in meadow or garden quite regardless of locality. In the pro*railway days, there wete three methods of traveling from the coilsi to the capital—the first by boat, the •econd by cart and the third on horseback. Usually the first part of the journey, as far as Tien-Tsin, could he performed by water, provided (he vessel drew no more than eleven feet of water. But even ves sels of .‘-mail tonnage, under the best pilot age. would get hopelessly stuck in the. mud. Soem plucky passenger would then ride to Tien-Tsin. purr hosing a straight necked, badly broken-in pony in the near est village, and having run the gauntlet of curious eyes in the lovvns en route would send down flat bottomed craft, to relieve (he vessel of her cargo, and so en able hei to float again. In the old days a fairly reliable *n \ < e of sprlngless carts co-uld h. obtain'd be tween Tien-Tsin and Pekin, but in trav eler with any regard (or his banes would ever tempt Providence by rating In ilium.

'lhe only towns in which the tra veler by road could hope to obtain re freshment for man and l east were Yang- Tsun, Ho-Hsi-Wu (iort> miles from Thu Tain) and Ma Ton (about fifty-three ml es ftom I i*n Ts n) From the latter village t> Pekin Is a distance of twcivy sev n miles, the direct road running through the village of liain-110, an a’most Impassable route In some seasons, owing to heavy inundations. These occur in the autumn, arid then it is necessary to take a mare circuitous route through the village of Uhang-Chia-Y\ an. a pace which 1h of es pecial interest at the prrsent moment, in consequence of its l aving been th spot where (he lasi stand was made by ih- Chinese army prior to the entry of th" 1 ul lei troeps into the capital in 18tk>. The old order, much to the disgust of the more conservative native, has latter ly given way to the new. The vigorous railway policy inaugurated by Li Hung Chang, and carried out in the fare of untold difficulties by Mr. C. Kinder, has rendered the Journey now one of com parative ease. From Tangku, a village situated about a mile from the forts which were destroyed last week, a single track line runs to Tien Tsin, with two stations on the way. From there to the capita) It ts a double line. The stations and distances are as follows: Distance from Name of Tien Tsin. Station. Miles. Tien Tsin Yang Taun 17.88 Tofah 31.09 Langfang 40.40 Anting 53.64 Huang Tsun 04.47 Fengtal li .rm ~ .m .^r T . . .74.88 Ma-kai-pu 80.00 The most important pl*e of the engi neering work on the line is the bridge w'hlch crosses the Pel Ho at Yang Tsun, and this station Is one of great import ance, as the line’s workshops, second only In size to tho#e at Tangshan. on the Shun hal-quan line. 41 re sttuated there. There can be very little doubt that both the bridge and the workshops are destroyed. From this point the railway takes a northwesterly, and not a northerly, di rection. as most of the maps recently pub lished have shown It. The mistake has been due to the fact that copies have, In a number of Instances, been made of an old war office map, published In 1858, showing a projected line, which has since been abandoned. Assuming that the troops proceed to Pin, they would, in following the railway line, have to skirt the south ern boundary of the Nan-hai-dsy. From here to the capital there are no thickly congested districts, the country being dot ted with small farms, while from the sta tion* lying to the west of Nan-hal-dsy Park, the western hills of Pe-chi-ll are plainly visible, forming the first break In the landscape from the east. The termi nus of the line. Mia-kia-pu, Ik n*-ir the southern and prtnolp-nl entrance 10 Pekin, know as the Y oung-ing-mcn gate. A huge pagoda surmount* the wall at this point, (he embrasures o; which arc tilled in with panels painted to represent can non; while In (he chambers of the pagbda are several old field pieces in a hofxdessly ruaty condition. In the hands cf modern troops the city would ho almost impreg nable. The walls, which has a stone foundn’ion, are flfly feet thick at the base, thirty feet thick At the summit, and about forty feet high. They are defended by massive buttresses at Inrervalaof 300 yards, nnd there are nine gateways, of enormous •Ize. leading Into the city. Each gate tufa on the outside a square enceinte. In which a smaller tow’er stands opposite to the gate tower. The total circumfer ence of Pekin is about 20% miles and the area about twenty-five square ml>. The legations are situated in the south astern portion of the Maitrhu or north ern city. Most of them are in legation street, but two. namely, the British and the Belgian, may be said to be isolated. By far the largest Is the British legation, which was formerly a residence of a prince of the blood, and was granted to the Brit ish minister In 1881 It Is about five acres In extent, ond Is surrounded by a well built brick wail. Several palatial Uouro* gorgeously decorated In a vuriety of brill iant hues, lead up to the main entrance. FRENCH CLARET WINES, and GERMAN RHINE knd MOSELLE WINES and FRENCH COGNAC BRANDIES.

The climate is very similar to that of New York, which Ilea almost in the same degree of latitude. From the middle of November to the beginning of March it is extreme.y cold, the thermometer sink ing in Deoeml*r. Januar; and February as low is 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The re gion is visited hv frequent storms, the sand and dust of the plain rise In gre%t clouds, and it is extremely trying to travelers. Communication by sea is in terrupted for three months, from Decem ber to March. Spring opens suddenly, -and in May th* thermometer rises to 9.' degrees Fahrenheit.

In this spirit, therefore, of one who loves to see a human soul on tire with zrai for God, n Catholic can read th life of Dwight L. Moody and be moved deeply with the same enthusiasm of re ligion 4ha moved thousands of souls to forsake their lives of sin and devote themselves to a light conscience with God under the spell of his powerful person oli(' and pleading* for faith. It la rt f'resiling at all times, and especially 1n ilils superficial nnd artificial age, to com# in comae# with a genuine soul; a nature so sincere. so simple that it seem* a mir ror of nitui e herself fresh, like the springtime; breathing perfumes of flower and grass, yet played upon and ewept by forces of wind ond storm that one may easily compare It with a summer landscape in (he throes of a tempest. Doubtless his energies and thrift would have quickly made him a rich man had in so desired, hut his religious nature be came so awakened that he spent every spare moment gathering the waifs of the stree's where they could he fed and cloth ed and taught religion. This work was the turning point of his life. By and by he abandoned ill secular business nnd devoted himself entirely to religious work. He ealh and upon the then Bishop of Chl eago dnr'ug these early labors,’ who said to Moody: ‘‘Your jmal nnd devotion are mo<* com mendable. All you need to make you a great power for good Is to come within the fold of the only true church.” “But.” replied Moody, ”1 could no long er work among Protestant*.” The Bish op assured him that he could; that he could pray with Protestants as much as ever. ‘‘Would you. Bishop, pray with a Protestant?” “Yes, I would.” “Well", then,” replied young Moody, *'T wish you would pray for me now that T may be led aright in *hl matter.” Thev knep In the hall where thsy w r ero standing nnd prayed. They v ere lifelong friend* thereafter. Many Fat holies who knew nnd loved Mr. Moody may perhaps have wondered w’hy so religious a man was never at tracted to the Catholic faith. The an swer i doubtless to be discovered In many of bis published sermons, where he avowed such strong repugnance to alt bonds of faith made by creed or dogma. He believed that n simple promise ro he loyal to Christ whs all-sufficient. Mr. Moody hnd n Catholic frtend named Mealy, who painted a valuable portrait of him, and when the Chicago Are de stroyed nearlv everything he owned, at the request of his wife this painting W'ns saved bv him. He humorously described his embarrassment at marching away from the fir.- with this picture, by Imag ining bis friends meeting him and say ing: “Hello Moody. T'm glad you’ve escaped. What’s that you are dinging 4o so affectionately?” “Oh. I’ve got my own portrait.” The portrait now hangs on the walls of the family home.in North field. In 1872 Mr. Moody was invited to preach to gome congregations in England. There was begun those remarkable merring* In halls and rinks which, in Great Britain and America, spread over a period of nearly thirty years, and enabled him to exhibit bs marvelous power over the hearts and wil's of men which has hardly been equaled in the history of English speaking people. It has been said, and there Is little doubt of the truth of It. that he had preached to audiences of over one hundred million people in those ac tive years. Of course, his audiences w'ere almost always composed of Protestants, although his genius for pulpit eloquence drew even Jews and Gat holloa to hear what they had so constantly seen describ ed in the public press. His prevailing- qualities were tireless energy, umnzlr.tr common sense, unques tioning faith and a human sympathy rarely equaled. These qualities, on tiro with enthusiasm and marshaled with the brain of a mllltarv general, made him . powerful leader of men. Protestantism has lost Its best apostle, and in the death of Mr. Moody there is a conscious halt in Its force*. Mr. Moody in the ( losing years of hl life called upon the Archbishop of New York. He was preaching at Cooper Union hlm seif. and his large audiences led him to think that if the Catholic people would only hold simultaneous services New York might be shaken With religious fervor. This was the purpose of his visit. The Archbishop explained the system of mis sions pursued by the Catholic Church, and showed him how if was constantly do ing what thr Protestant churches did only occasionally. An hour was spent in conversation, but the only result was a friendly intercourse. ♦ { —The Russian Km per or has contributed the sum of 21,400 rubles from hi* own pocket toward the study of the flora of European Russia, Siberia, Turkestan, the Caucasus and Crimea. 5
