THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION": TUESDAY. APRIL 8,1884- TWELVE PAGES. 7 TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE THRILLING EXPLOITS AND PIC TURES OF STRANGE LANDS Xttffc Io04bb-I B ??hop Baattagtka T i??r-An Io< tartttic* Ktziwn O tyAwlt lAPtoiliUa "lif* ix China.???Human life is very cheap here. Dittuie tor prolonged existence in this world or the world to come it essentially oriental, and in China this is pre-eminently the case. Young women are especially apt, in view of the unpleasantness of their lot, to take their own lives in a moment of discour agement. The busy world here takes no notice of the event, not even caring to kick the body into a decent grave lest responsibil ity for the death should attach to any one so benevolent, for in China suspicion is convic tion, and circnmatantial evidence conclusive proof. Often several girls will join together with suicidal intent, and throw themselves jointly into the still-flowing river on some dark night. Last week a Chinese maid was scolded by her mistress in Hong Kong for some act of remlasnets, and growing despond ent, she sought her room, took an overdose of opium, and passed out of this vale of tears, into what subsequent condition I know not. Down toward the southeast corner of tbs' city walls, but outside of it, there is in Can ton a short thoroughfare or lane, about fifty yards in length and from four to eight yards in bieadtb, into which l never dare to look when in that part of the city. It is the Can ton execution ground. There is no street leading directly to it, either from the city or from the river. It is touched on every side by the shops and houses of nati vcs, for it is the heart of the southern suburb, where the people abound like swarmlug bees. The whole eastern side is bounded oy a dead waff of brick about twelve feet bign, while on the opposite side is a row of workshops for the manufacture of the coarsest kind of ungleted earthenware. I suppose there is no spot on earth where so many tragediea have been enacted aa on this little spot of ground j and how any human being can endure it to live in proximity to the place ia mure than I can understand. 1 suppose it is because by a merciful provision of nature the fear of death diminishes in ex act ratio to its incressing frequency. Here it is so frequent that the people laugh at ita approach, and instances of heroic death are the rale, rather than the exception. Tne na tional sensibilities seem to have been almost dea'toyed. Here in one year, during the Taiping re bellion, I am told tbat 60,000 heads were severed from as many bodies; and for a num ber of years thereafter the average annual de capitation rate was 1,5U0 persons. Think of it! it seems as if the ground must be crim son with the perpetual sacrifice of guilty and innocent blood; and I half wouder that the stain has not passed through this tiny earth to redden the soil of America on the other side. While from a somewhat cursory examina tion of the penal code of China, 1 am led to believe thst it aims at as high a state of public virtue and justice as that of most civ ilized countries, I am compelled daily to ahudder at tne Inhuman way in whlcn the enforcements the laws is conducted. The torturo system prevails, not only in connec tion with the puniehment of convicted crim inal, hut alio as a means of forcing an accused man to confess, whether he be guilty or not, and as a means of forcing a witness to give the evidence that It is suspected he has in bis possession. If I were writing for some pub lications instead of a decent American news paper, I might fid columns with revolting detailaiuch as any traveler may witnesshere, wtiich would not only have the merit of truth, but would exceed in thrilling sensa tionalism any of the fie; Ion which finds its way into after-dark literature. The hardest feature ol it all is the noseem- ly baste with which criminals ere bustled into eternity. About an hour before the eu- S reme penalty ia to be administered, the oomed men are informed of their fate. They are then promptly eicoried lo the yamun of the governor (merely bemg allowed the privilege of a hearty meal), wnere the death- warrant is exhibited. Then they are pinionsd and may be seen in the act of being trans ported to the execution ground in bsskets carried between two ceolles. Their limbs are pinioned, and their arms tightly fastened behind their backs, being tied with a cord to their ankles. At the back of each criminal's neck is a stick, to which is attached a long strip of paper, Inscribed with the man's name, age, crime, and fate. In somf cases this papor is affixed to arrows which have been shot through the pSir fellow's ears, but for the sake of simplicity we wilt take the case of those who are granted the privilege of the roost honorable form of capital pun ishment. B-sides the coolies who are carrying the candidates for decapitation, the procession is made up simply of two magistrates, who march at the bead, and take seats in front of a shop facing the execution ground to witness the final tragedy. The criminals are damped ont of Ibe has keta, placed upon the ground in a kneeling attitude, and ranged in a line; or if there are a good many of them, in two or three lines. The ligatures of the arms and legs throw the bead back into an almost horizontal position An assistant runs rapidly along the line, snatching away the tickets with which each man is marked, and bringing the bead into the most effective position. In the great ma jority of cases the victims display the ut most stolidity it is said, which, to my mind, only emphasises theBadnessof this barbarous picture. In less than a minute, it may be, from the time when the mournful hand entered the yard the magistrates on their reserved benches will shout, ''Pan!" (execute) Aud with the rapidity of an echo the dull, crashing blows of the headsman's ax are beard filling along the line. I suppose these imperturbable heathen would claim thst this way is not so barbarous os our custom of keeping a man in prison for months of anxious apprehen sion, with only the gallows in yfew; bat our system certainly gives the friends of in inno cent convict the needed time in which to work for a reprieve, besidet extending to the guilty ample time for purging bis eonl of the crime he has committed. Practice makes perfect, and tlieae Cantonese executioners are experts in their profusion It is rare, indeed, that ittakrsasecond stroke to send the head milling and tumbling in the gore that saturates the ground. In a quarter of an hour more the bodies bsve been damped Into rade c (fins and carried to the ciimtnal burying ground jmt outside the east gate. The beads are often suspended in ciges near where the crime was committed for which the victim died, or placed <m the city walls over the various gses to serve as general warnings. A Bishop Htnmxo the Tiokp..???The late excellent B<thop Heber, in hit journal, has given a narrative of the mode in which a tiger bant is conducted, fall of picturesque effect and striking from its minute detail: ???At Huileanpoor, the young Rsja Gour- man Singh mentioned, in the course of con versation, that there ni a tiger in an ad joining tope which hid done a great deal of mischief; ibatbeehou'd have gone after it biro self bad be not been ill, and bad he not aght it would be a fine diversion for Mr. Boulderson, the collector of the district, and me. I told him I was no sportsman, hut Mr. Bonlderson'a eyes sparkled at Ibe name of tiger, and he expressed great anxiety to beat np his quarters in the afternoon, under snch circumstance* I did not like to deprive him of hla sport, as he would not leave me by myself, and want, though with no inten tion ofbeing more than a spectator.

They say tbat winds, tides, terrestrial magnetism, meteorological and other important phenom ena cannot be thoroughly investigated except under many different conditions of tempera-- ture and locality. Ampog many triumphs of Arctic research they mention the fixing of the position of the true magnetic pole by Boss, the finding of the simple means of keeping the needle pointingto the true north in high latitudes, the discovery of the com mercial mineral cryolite and of the great whaling and sealing grounds in the Spitsber gen and North Greenland seas. They assert also that in spite of the frightful disasters that have befallen some exploring parties, the loss of life has been small. About three per cent of the Arctic explorers have died in the course of tlieir work, not a large propor tion when compared with the mortality among African explorers.???New York Sun. number of people, on foot and horseback, at tended from our own camp and the neigh boring villages, and the same aort of interest and delight waa evidently excited which might oe produced in England by a great conning party. The Raja was on a little feuate elephant, hardly bigger than the Dur ham ox, and almost as shaggy as a poodle. She was a native of the neighboring wood, where they are generally, though not always, of a smaller size, than those of Bengal and Chittagong. He sat in a low tiowdaa, with two or three gnus ranged beside him ready for action.'Mr. gonlderson had also a formid able apparatus ofnmsketsand fowling-piece., projecting over his mohout's head. Werode about two miles across a plain covered with long jungle grass, which very much put me fn mind of the country near the Cuban. Q tails and wild fowl atose in great numbers, and beautiful antelopes were seen scudding away in all directions.??? The bishop then describes the beating of the jungle, the rushing oat of two carious animals of the elk kind, called the ???mobr,??? and the growing anxiety of all the people engaged in the hunt. He then proceeds thus: ???At last the elephants all drew up their tranks into the air. began to roar, and stamp violently with their fore feet. The Raja's little elephant turned snort round, and in spite ol all her mohont (her driver) could say or do, took up her post, to the R.js's great annoyance, close ra the rear of Mr. Boulder- son. Tlia other three (for one of my b.igg.???g9 elephants had come out too, the mouout, though unarmed, not caring to miss the ebow) went on slowly, bnt boldly, with their trunks raised, their ears expanded, and their sagacious little eyes bent intently forward. 'We&recloseuponhim,'saidMr Boulderson; ???fire where you see the long grass shake, if lie rises before you.??? Jnstat that moment my elephant stamped again violently. ???There, there ??? cried the mohout, 'I eatv his head,' A short roar, or rather load growl followed, and I saw immediately before my elephant's head the motion of some large animal steal ing through thegrasg. I fired as directed, and a moment after, seeing the morion still more plainly, fired the second barrel. Another short growl followed; the motion was initue diately quickened, and was soon lost in the more distant jungle. Mr. Boulderson said, 'I should not wonder it you bit him that last time; at any rate we shall drive him out of the cover, and then I will take care of him.??? In fact, at that moment the crowd of horse and foot spectators at the jungle side, began to run off in all directions. We went on to the place, bat found it was a false alarm; and, in fact, we had seen all we were to see of him, and went twice more through the jungle in vain. ???1 asked Mr. Boulderson on our return, whether tiger hunting was generally of this kind, wbioh I could not help comparing to tost ebrse ol bubbles which enables us in England to pursue an otter. In a jangle, he answered, It mast always be pretty much the same, inasmuch as, except under very pecu liar circumstances, or when a tiger felt him self severely wounded, and was roused to re venge by despair, bis aim was to remain con cealed, and to make off os quietly os possible. It was after be had broken cover, or when he found nimseif in a situation so as to be fairly at bay, tbat the aerioua port of the sport be gin, in which case he attacked his enemies boldly, and always died fighting. He added, tbat the lion, though not so large or swift an animal as the tiger, was generally stronger aud more courageous. TUose which have been killed in India, instead of running away when punned tbrongh a jangle, seldom seem to think its cover necessary at all. When they see their enemies approaching, they spring ont to meet them, open-mouthed, in the plain, like thdboldeat of all animals, amsstiftdog. They are thus generally shot with very little trouble; but if they are missed, or only slightly wounded, they are truly formidable enemies. Though not swift, they leap with vast strength and violence; and their large beads, immense paws, and the great weight of their body forward), often enables'hem to spring on the head of the largest elephants, and fairly pull them down to the ground, riders and all. When a tiger springs on an elephant, the latter is generally ante to shake him off under bis fast, and then woe he to trim. Tbn elephant either kneels on him and crushes him at once, or gives him a kick which breaks half his ribs, and sends him flying perhaps twenty paces. The ele phants, however, are often dreadfully torn and a large old tiger sometimes cliogs too fast to be that dealt with. In this cue it often ??? happens that the elephant htmselt falls, from pain, or from the hope of rolling on bis enemy; and tba people on his back are in very considerable danger both from friends and foes, for Mr. B-iuIderson said the scratch of a tiger was sometimes venomous, as that of a cat is said to be. But this did not often' bapnen; and. in general, persons wounded by his teeth nr claws, it not killed outright, recovered easily enough.??? Ax iHTaBESTUto Mexican City.???The city of Recatecse, capital of the state of the same name, has a population of about 65 000, and lies nearly 8,000 feet above the level of the gulf. Its narrow streets, overshadowed by adobe walla centuries old, straggle up and down the surrounding heights in tha most marvelous mannsr???stony alleys rnshing straight up the steep mountain sides, or de scending as perpendicularly by aeries of steps cut into the solid rock, and worn hollow bv the feet of restless generations.

As in all Mexican cities, where extremes of wealth and poverty meet, the higher classes are seldom seen, except as they now and then roll by in their carriage*. Ztcatecas has its exclusive circle of proud grandees, differing as widely from the lower classes of the streets aa the aristocratic residents of New York's Fifth avenue differ from the gamin of Five Points. Although the lowly and ignorant are in the majority as to numbers in poor, long down-trodden Mexico, I beg you to re member that the typical Mexican citizen has no superior in any country in tba way of culture, rehnement, politeness, and true worth. Zscacetas is a remarkably well built city as to public buildings, and has many fine basinets blocks and handsome private residences. Like all Mexican towns it has the common features of rose-filled plssas, in evitable Aiameda/Casino, and other resorts where the music loving Latin love to congre gate. Being an important military station, several fine bands are here, which play at regular intervals upon the fashionable prome nades. The main plsza and principal streets have electric lights, and a horse car connects the city with the adjoining pneblo of Guad alupe.???Correspondent Springfield Republi- ~in.
