Some of our patrons have quite a mistaken
idea concerning these garments, and are under
the impression that they were designed only
for House-wear, Picnics, etc. True, nothing
could be more appropriate than these garments;
they are cool, comfortable, convenient and at
the same time pretty. But they are also a very
fitting street garment, and are quite as popular
for street wear in Eastern and Northern cities
as the tight-fitting waists.

Tho Peking Gazette gives a horrible
story from tho official report of the
governor of Yunnan of tho burning to
death of a farmer of that province for
stealing an ear of corn. It seems that
during tho Yunnan rebellion a law
was passed making thefts of corn
fruits in tho field an oQeuso punish
ablo by burning to death. The vic
tim's relatives wcro required to sign a
document declaring they agreed to the
penalty, and wcro forced to light tho
Ore to bar them from bringing a dam
ago suit. This horriblo prnctico tho
authorities havo tried to extirpate, but
vainly. A few months ago in har
vest time, a farmer named Peng Chao
Sheng, whilo going to watch his field,
plucked an car of corn from a neigh
bor's field. He was seen and being
shouted at dropped tho corn. Tho
matter was referred to tho owner of
tho field, and he, with his tenant,
seized Peng and demanded the death
penalty. Peng's mother offered to
mako restitution by forfeiting all her
property, but this was refused. Sho
was forced to give her written consent
tinder threats of death, and was ac
tually made to light tho heap of brush
wood and witness tho terrible dying
agonies of her son. As soon as she
could cscapo sho reported tho crimo to
tbo authorities. Tho two men were
arrested and tried. The landlord was
punished by tho lingering process
that is, his flesh was hacked with
knives until ho slowly expired in awful
torment, tho farmer, who lost tho ear
of corn, being beheaded. Thcro is do
question of theso fuels, as the report is
official. San Francisco Chronicle.

The Sagacity of Oxen.
Oxen do not in an ordinary way
givo ono tho impression of possessing
any great degree of intelligence, but
my correspondent, "Ex-Colonist," tells
mo that in 0110 respect, ot least, the
trek oxen, so largely employed at tho
Capo as a substitute for horses, havo
tho incstitnablo advantage over the
latter of not requiring to bo hobbled
when turned loose at night for graz
ing; and that if, as is sometimes the
case, thoy stray away from camp to
tho distance of a mifo or more, their
drivel's can casilv recall them tho next
morning when it is time to got under

Journey to the station or elsewhere. I

Exciting; Antics of an Engine.
Dallas, Tex., April 29,-This morn
ing about 8 o'clook the queerest rail
road acoidecnt on record happened on
tho Rapid Transit. As the engine
Hanger was making its schedule time
from the fair grounds to the opera
house near the cotton mills, the engi
neer perceived the Cyclone coming from
the opposite direction managed by
Engineer Devinnage. Both engines
reversed their levers, but not in time
to prevent a collision, the engineers
jumping from their engines beforo the
collsion, which was light.
The Hanger engineer regained his
engine, but the Gyolone distanced its
man, and being reversed, came bsck to
town at he rate of twenty-five miles
an nour. iieacbing the end or the
truck, it camo on down Austin street
over tho bois d'aro blocks and came
against the curbing on the corner of
Main and Austin, upstting and smash
ing a fine carriage belonging to Stanley
Amos, and injuring the horses. Mr.
Amos saw the "'Cyclone coming and
tried to get his team away,bnt the time
was too short, and ho too was knocked
about fifteen feet and considerable
bruised. Mr. Amos assesses his dam
ages at $1000. The engine was con
siderably broken up itself. Tho affair
produced a big sensation.
