his friends farewell as ho was borno tothonnv
etlMico, better known In Chinatown as tho
"rattler." TUo Orientals succumb quickly to
consumption, l'ong. tho Hosier, died yesterday,
i week after they took him away.
"Havo tho thlrty-Bovon Particular Prayers
lid for me," ho bado his two closo friends.
Ping Donir, moro commonly called Boll, and
Jlorse-and-Waeon; "and send a pollto niossago
to mr remoto ancestry, Informing them that
with their honorablo permission I shall shortly
Join their august presences In tho Flowery
wy."
In sccordanco with these Instructions" tha
two ffreased their pigtails until thoso precious
sppurtensnecs fairly drlppod fatness, put on
their most tcorgeous clothing and, bearing gifts
of Incenso, roast chlcLon and rlco wlno, repaired
to the Jos House In Poll street, which was tho
one that l'ong generally attendod, and there,
msfclnc their offering'!, took part In tho thirty
loren Particular Prayers said by tho prlosts,
llorse-snd-Wagon, as tho older friend, ofllcl
sting In twenty of tho prayers, while Boll took
tho remaining seventeen. This being con
cluded In a spaco of two hours, thoy struok al
ternately upon tho great gong torty strokes, one
for each year of tho life, of Pong, tho Uoaler.
Because Pong was a man of no llttlo pjchlcnl
promlnenco and especially favored by a num
ber of deities, whoso names are not printed hero
for the reason that nobody could road them If
they were, tho priests made a epeolal address
to Joss, standing as nearly on their heads as a
proper regard for their pigtails pcrmlttod.
This ended the ceremonies ot the Joss House.
Thence Uorsc-and-YVagon and Boll went to tho
deserted rooms of Pong at !22 Pell street, over
the Universal Hcavcn-and-Earth Supply Em
porium, which deals In articles ranging from
cocked-hat paper prayers to flrc-drled chicken
livers, wlth,thoiuands of other articles of neces
sity and ornament. Outsldo Pong's door they
raised a Bong which tho most tuneful tomcat
ot Backfencedom would despair of Imitating.
This was In tho naturo of a notloo to all the
possessions ot tho dead man that their owner
had departed this life and they must expect a
change of estate. Bell, who Is something of a
scribe, then produced a placard of red. Inscribed
In black Ink, which ho firmly affixed to tno door.
It was a learned and Intricate anagram which
meant the same thing wbethor you read It up
side down, hindsido Defore or inside out; and
the tenor of it was as follows:
"Enow ye, Afflicted Mourners of tho Dead,
that Quong Von?, Special Favorlto of Joss,
Jntlniaio Aisoclato of tho Nino Oods of Heal
ing. Maker of Mysteries, Seer of tho Dark Un
known, and Healer of the Droad Disease, Is
pused away to join his August Ancestors In
the ttealm of Unfading i lowers. For tho
better wayfaring ot his spirit, the thirty-seven
Particular Prayers have been said, and Joss
has smiled upon the future of the departing
soul. Friends with offerings may leave them
at this door. "
In the midst ot the New Tear's festivities
many found time to leave offerings of chloken,
rice, wine, email ornaments, ana flowers at
the door of Pong tho Healer, for he was widely
known in Chinatown, and, IX rumor be true,
had effected many a euro to the afflicted.
These cures were understood to be mainly by
bisxnaglo and his association wltls the special
dsltlM of medicine, though be was learned In
herbs, too, and steeped a concoction of famous
avail on tho after-morning of a too great In
dulgence in opium or strong drink, in cases
of this sort the patient was required to come
to his ottlce, or retreat, as he preferred to call
It, where ho was understood to pass mucn of
his time In mystic communion with tho un
seen world. Only wbeu the disease was so
serious that the patient could not be moved
wonld he consent to go to the sufferer's home,
and then be walked through, the streets with
faoe shrouded and taking the middle of the road
way lent a polluting touch subtract from bis
power: nor, once arrived at the house, would
lis suffer any other to remain In the room with
himself and tho tick man. It Is related with
awe, to solect company only, by the friends of
Bong Ah Wung, who lay nigh to death of a
terer, how Pong the Healer, being called,
spent seven Pours of silent appeal to the gods
la the room ot the patient, nt the end of which
he beatfa highly mystic tattoo upon his sacred
prong, which sound roused Song Ah Wung from
his stupor to a condition of extreme hunger
and thirst, in which state he devoured two
Elates of pickled raw"flsh. threo saucers of rlco,
alt a chicken, and four ounces of wator
Eielon seed, and drank a tumbler of rice whls
ey and four glasses of lemon water, and lived
a full week thereafter, dying Anally not of tho
fever, but of Indigestion. This was ranked as
Pong s most wonderful cure and Increased his
reputation vastly.
In the case of patients visiting his own re
treat the Hraler Insisted upon the rigid eti
quette due to ono who was a chum of tho Su

Great Is arfstography that nobis branch ot
the romnntlo art that confines itself exclusively
to tho delineation of tho most magnificent and
wonderful are some ot Its developments. On
the other sldo of tho Atlantlo we may trace Its
growth from soino ot those fearfully beautiful
word paintings of Bulwer Lytlon down to ths
soul-hurrowlng romances ot Miss Marie Corelll,
and on In u direct lino to such a volume as
"The Vengeance of the Viscount." This latter
was shown. In tho course ot a tendon Pollco
Court caso, to be the workot a soulful scullery
maid whoso literary labors seriously Intorfered
with tho performance ot her dally duties. Look
ing nearer home wo find, as exponents ot this
branch ot art, not only tho gifted Mr. Chat
field Taylor ot Chicago, who manufactures epi
grams without an effort, but a growing lit
erary school that seems to ows Its develop
ment largely to the fostering Influcnco ot
Mr. F. Tennyson Ncoly. One of the most
entertaining examples ot the work ot tbls
school Is "The Embassy Ball," by Virginia
Rosalie Coxe (F. Tennyson Neely), a work of no
tion that, as It throws a fierce light upon tbe
manners and customs ot the aristocracies ot
several continents, and as It has attained to tho
dignity of a second edition, may be presumed to
hare found an appreciative public. Though It Is
not neoessary to suppose that Just such persons
as the fair author brings before ns could
be found In any known part of the world,
they aro not, on that account, the less Interest
ing. Realism may bo well enough In Its way, but
It oannot be denied that romance also has Its
rights. Moreover, ws Incline to the belief that
by little Miss Tiddly wink, the typewriter, and
Mr. Ribbings of tho lace department, these mag
nlflcont creations of Virginia Rosalie Coxe's
will be accepted as representative ot all that Is
haughtiest and most aristocratic
Delancy Courtney, the hero. Is a devil ot a
fellow. A New York millionaire, handsome ns
Apollo, and world weary at the early age of 35,
bis llfo has been ono long succession of brilliant
social episodes, "billiard and card smokers,
stately dinners, with wit and wisdom
on Up, and champagne suppers," with
now and thon an entertainment offered
to some blushing debutante, "chaperoned by
mamma and a bishop or two to lend grace and
dignity to the affair," to say nothing ot those
moro modest festivities In honor of " the hand
somest dansouses from tho ballet corps." at
which. It Is needless to say, nolther mamma nor
tho bishops were present. Women In almost
every part of the world have looked Into this
man's great brown oyes and loved him passion
ately, and he Is known In Europe as Delancy le
dlstlngud.
No loss brilliant In her way is Mrs. Oranvills
Churchill, " a quoen among women, a sovoreign
among wits." Of her the autobiographical hero
says, " There was a snap and go about her
that was deliclously refreshing to tho most
Jadod mind. No other woman possessed It; no
other woman seemed ablo to acquiro It," Her
chief charms seem to have been a phenomenal
gift of epigram and her broad views on such
subjects as the cocktail habit and the advisabil
ity of "opening wine" nt regular and not too
protracted Intervals. Thus does this gifted
creature welcomo the hero to her stately coun
try bouse in the Immediate neighborhood ot
Now York city:

"No; I prefer chicken."
" Opera box or ballet ? I mean breast or leg?"
But It Is not till the fair author takes ns to St.

Theio haughty personages pepper their con

with reckless Indifference as mon amte and

Tbe most Interesting and the most wlokedof
them all is Marajanskl, wnloh should, we think,
have been spelled Mary Jane-ski. She Is a Nihil
ist, of oxqulslto beauty and indifferent morals,
and Itis probable thatllttlo Miss Tiddly wink will
conclude that, oven when under tho Influence
ot the softer emotions, this regal creature was
"something fierce." Sho loves the beautiful
Delancy, nnd she does not hesltato to tell him
so. Hut ho, strengthened by the ennobling Influ

though "the blood of centuries leaps into her
face," sho simply makes him tired.

At this point Mr. Ribbings will probably
observe that oven under the most trying cir
cumstances tho gontlemanly Delancy showod
admirable self-restraint. Ho rellrod to tbo
boudoir, and Mary Janeskt's reputatlon-a
brlttlo thing at best was thus preserved. We
havo not alternated to unravel the mysteries of
the plot of this curious tale, nor to follow the
virtuous herolno In her many strange adven
tures. We have striven to show that as a guide
to the mysteries ot faahlonablo Ufo Mr. Ohat
fleld Taylor does not stand alone, and that In
tho matter of abundant epigram Chicago is not
so far ahead of Eighth avenuo after all. As for
Mr. Neely's school of arlstography, long may It

Poor Mr. Stead! The onerous duties Inci
dental to his profession ot Reformer General of
the World at Large have ovldently begun to
tell upon him. A year or two ago some thought
less person lent him a complete copy Of the
report of tho Lerow Committee, and, this
being literature after bis own heart, he
has been sitting up o' nights with It ever
since. The rosult, aa shown In "Satan's
Invisiblo World Displayed" (R. F. Fonn & Co.).
is painful In tho extreme. Having buckled on
his dark lantern and shonldercd his muck rako,
he sot Ball for Now York to see about tbls thing.
So agitated was ths unfortunate gentleman
upon his arrival at Sandy Hook that his dis
hevelled appearance Booms to have fright
ened the surrounding son, and landscape into
a Bcries ot violent ohromo-llthographlo ef
fects. Tho billows of the broad Atlantlo
heavod convulsively, tho great liner shud
dered and throbbed as If conscious ot
her curious frolght, and even tho luxuriant
foliage of Staten Island betrayod a hoctlo flush.
Later on, when ho had lauded and had rested
and refreshed himself, inanimate naturo be
came even moro agitated. Midnight was near.
The stars gleamed and tho moon shone unveiled
by cloud. On either aide of the broad expanse
of a mighty river rose rugged banks of shadow,
from which gleamed lights as ot a myriad
eyes. "Up and down either side, as far
as you could see, until the dark out
lines merged In the distant horizon, these
Innumerable eyes looked out over the water.
Sometimes they winked, and now and then one
or another would close" Perchance tbose eyes
knew who was watching them, and winked In
anticipation of the fun that was to come. But
they wero not content to merely wink In silence.
Horo and thore a sombre, melancholy scow
would drift across the waters, and she when did

And, to add to the welrJneaa and mystery of the
scene, ever and again there would rise from the wa

tensity to a wall, which would continue a minute and
then die away aa It arose. It waa like the plaintive
lowing of aea monsters for their lost or wandering

Mr. Edmund Qosso, who edits the "Litera
tures of the World" series, published by Messrs.
Appleton, contributes tho third volume under
the title ot "A Short History of Modern Eng
lish Literature." In this Instanro the torm
" modern" Is a fairly comprehensivo one. as the
author begins his etudy of English poetry and
prose with the mysterious author of SirQaicain
and the Qrcen Knight, who dates back to the
middle of the fourteenth century. From this
noint ho has endeavored to trace the gradual ev
olution of English literature, keoplng before him
"exprceslon, form, technique, as the central
Interest, rather than biography, or sociology, or
mere unrelated criticism." Tho student who
attempts to follow all these gentlemen who
write manuals of literature must expect to be
brought face to face with a difficulty now and
then. This is what Mr. Qosso thinks about
Carlyle:
"Ills amorphous aspirations excited young
and generous minds, and It was natural that
the preacher of so much lawless praise of law
should seem a lawglvor himself. Yet It Is diffi
cult to decide what Carlyle has bequeathed to
us, now that tbe echoes of bis denunciations
are at last dying away. Standing between tho
Infinite and the Individual, he recognizes no gra
dations, no massing of the species; he compares
the two Incomparable objects of bis attention
and scolds tbe finite for Its lack of Infinitude as
It for a preventable fault. Unjust to human
effort, he barks at mankind like an Ill-tempered
dog, angry If It Is still, yet moro angry If It
moves. A most unhelpful physician, a prophet
with no gospel but vague stir and turbulenco of
contradiction."
Here, on tbe other hand, Is what Mr. Clement
Shorter has to say In his "Victorian Litera
ture," published tho other day: "Carlyle Is
surely the greatest figure In our modern Utora
ture. To him wo owe tho Indifference
to more political shibboleths, the lull In party
warfare, which Is the note of our age,
His literary Influence on Frauds nnd Mill, Mr.
Ruskln and Mr. Lecky, and numbers of others
was tremendous. The place which was occupied
by Swift In tho eighteenth century i held by
Carlylo in tbe nineteenth, and, though every
line he has written should rease to bo read, ho
will still be remembered us the greatest of Htor
ary figures In an age of great men of letters."
Apart from its purely critical value, Mr.
Qssse's volume Is fascinating In Its Interest and
Is written throughout In the brilliant style that
distinguishes his various studies of eighteenth
