Four Chinese Actors Display Their Ability JJefore Judge Hoffman , Ban Francisco Call. Among the Chinese habeas corpus cases that came up for hearing before Judge Hoffman yesterday were those of four Chinese actors , Ah Sic , Long Kwong , Wa and Leo Tong. The four claimed that they had been employed previous to 1881 , when they returned to China , at the Chinese theater on Jack son street , near Dupont. During the course of their examination some doubts were expressed as to their respective abilities as exponents of the Chinese drama , and at the request of Carroll Cook each of the four exerted himself to display his dramatic worth. Long Kwong was a "jumper , " and rising and placing his chair to one side he stood on one leg , holding the other out straight and holding both arms heaven ward , with the lingers of his hands out stretched , he. hopped around to the infi nite amusement of all in the court room. He displayed such agility that no one disputed his claim and he was dis charged. Wa was a sweet singer from , the "chop stick" district , and lie com menced a Chinese rendering of the "Babies on our Block , " beginning in a low , fog-horn key , and rising suddenly to a shriek that caused the building to shake and his honor to order him dis charged at once and removed from the neighborhood , for fear he might be tempted to tackle another bar of the song. Ah Sic was a female impersona tor , and went through the performance of a forlorn maiden with an imaginary villian still pursuing her. According to Sie's rendering the forlorn maiden.of the flowery kingdom , when she sees a villian approaching , holds her arms out straight and whirls around like a top , at the same time uttering shrill shrieks of terror , supposed to pierce the vil- lian's heart like arrows. Judge Hoff man ordered the versatile Sie dis charged and sent to find the sweet singer. The remaining actor , when called upon to show his abilities , aston ished everyone. First of all he kicked off his shoes , and then proceeded to clear the chairs from the center of the court room. The interpreter winked at Mr. Cook and explained that the last man was a clown. Judge Hoffman was beginning to look aghast at the de liberation with which the so-called clown was preparing for his exhibition. A space of twenty feet having been cleared the clown stood in the center of the space and glared around with such a demoniac grin and roll of his eyes , . that several of the attorneys moved un easily in their seats. It was only for a moment. Immediately after the China man gave a bound in the air and al most touched the large chandelier ; then he rolled over and over , this way and that , and all that was visible was a "black ball with legs and arms flying around it. He was up in the air , then at this end of the room , then at the other. The "Beggar's Dance" which Tan-ku-keevis danced at Hiawatha's festival , was nothing to compare with this display of agility. Fearful that the zeal of the actor would lead him too iar , and that he would expire from ex- liaustion , Judge Hoffman declared him self satisfied that the clown was really a peer in his profession , and other evi dence of the clown's former residence liere being adduced , Judge Hoffman ordered him discharged and bail exon erated. Six Grizzlies in a Heap. C. F. Blackburn In Salt Lake Tribune. Not long since I was riding toward Cloud Peak and had gone only three miles when I discovered three enormous grizzlies down in a horseshoe canyon. I left my pony , went to the canyon wall and opened fire on the enemies. The bears were five hundred yards away. 3Iy first shot wounded one of the mon sters , and the wounded one immediate ly attacked the other bear. They fought desperately for fifteen minutes. It was a terrible encounter ; the beasts would strike , bite and roll around , giving irightful growls , enough to scare a fel low even at the top of the canyon. The -wounded bear was beaten by its antago nist , after which I shot the victor. They were both ferocious looking animals , and the two would weigh over 3,000 pounds. Their tusks measured three inches , claws four inches , feet fourteen inches , and the bears were twelve feet long. Leaving these two bears I walked over a ridge not more than a mile away and came on to four more , two black and two silver-tip bears. They did not see me , and my position was a good one on the ice and near a nice smooth crag of granite. Slipping on a pair of moc- asins , I was soon on the top of the gran ite knob 150 feet above ground. I open ed fire immediately , only 200 yards , and lolled two the first shot , and soon had them all rolling down the mountain to- . It was an exciting time ; the sur bears made a terrible noise. Bawl ing and deep groans , mingled with keen leports from myrifle , echoed and re echoed , making a sound rivaling the -very hall of pandemonium itself. In a few minutes all was quiet save the passing breezes through pine boughs and a few squalling ravens. I listened closely for more bears , and could occa sionally hear their peculiar whistle across on the opposite mountain. But none were in sight After seeing a large eagle swoop down among the pines , catching a large grouse , I descended from my rocky knob and ventured up to the b'cars. There they all lay in a heap , all dead in the gulch together. Those six bears would weigh over 7,000 pounds. i i A TRIFLE BOND. Finger Kails , Character and Handwriting Closely Linked. Harper' !

Diplomacy has a long , supple hand , and a long , beauti fully kept , slender finger nail. But the handwriting of a diplomatist is not apt to see'clearjit always looks like a snake gliding away. There are no clear , gi gantic capitals like John Hancock s , none of the fine curves suggestive of generosity and expansion ; all is com pressed and impenetrable. Certain in- fiexible natures express themselves both by finger nails and by the handwriting both are blunt and determined. The Chinese have such long finger nails that one might almost write with the ends of them. The tenacity of the Chinese nail , which does not break , shows that they have more lime in their bones than we of a different race. At one time , when good Queen Anne bit her finger nails it was the fashion for all the English aristocracy to bite theirs ; andinjhose days the English finger nail was not what it is now. Fashion exerts a potent influence on man , sav age or civilized. The Botecuder of Brazil , and the Hydailr of Queen Char lotte's island insert a wooden or ivory plug under the lip of their women , causing a hideous deformity that re sembles a shelf overhanging the chin. The fashionable women of to-day wear a bustle that is almost as deforming. A Saratoga Beauty. Saratoga Letter. The other attractive sight is that of a young woman who comes down every morning fresh from her room and mounts a milk white horse almost statuesque in its beauty , and rides away , the horse dancing and going through more gam bols and frisky movements than a lamb at play , but he does not seem vicious. The young lady who mounts him is one of the finest horsewomen I have ever seen , and besides one of the handsomest women. Her hair is almost red , and her skin clear pink and white ; her figure is perfection itself , and she dresses in the most elegant manner. Her riding habit is of dark green cloth with tiny gold buttons , and she wears a gold lace col lar and cuffs , instead of the traditional linen collar. An old gentleman of a decidedly aristocratic mien accompanies her on her rides and to the ball rooms , and , in fact , wherever she goes , and she is indefatigable as a dancer , and in rid ing and promenading. Everybody ad mires them , and though they are both very polite , they form no intimate ac quaintances , and their names are down on the register as Mr. Smith and daugh ter. All the women who chat on the piazzas have decided that there is some thing very mysterious about them , and that they don't believe that their names are Smith at all , but that they are some noted English people traveling incog. Many attempts have been made to in duce Miss Smith's maid to "tell the truth , now , about your young lady's name , " but she is proof against all blan dishments , and if there is a secret she keeps it. All the same , the young lady fairly divides hours with Vanderbilt's and Walls' turnouts. Tie Had Seen Heading of Greely. BcmervUle Journal.

Tinsley's Magazine. Multifarious are 'she anecdotes fa bles , some of them , I really believe told of the king. He is a misogynist , a hater of court ceremonials , yet withal a man who stands upon his dignity ; a passionate lover of music and moun tain scenery and a great stickler for the autonomy of Bavaria. He will not have it Prussianized at any price. His favorite seat is a hunting lodge up In the mountains. It is said that he sleeps in a large , lofty room with the ceiling painted to represent the firma ment , and a practicable moon shed ding a mellow light from one quarter of the artificial heavens. The perspec tive is managed so as to give the illus ion of spaciousness , and through the distant trees cut out in the canvas , as he reclines , may be heard the plash of falling waters. Their lullaby hushes him to sleep. Maecenas had a friendli ness for the same soporific. Some times his majesty rises in the night , has a black steed saddled , and dashes off at a whirlwind speed up and down the hill roads which are well kept for that reason like a phantom horseman pur sued by some relentless decree of the supernatural powers. The finest stud in Bavaria is to be found in his stables , but cattle are cast soon and often ; they are thoroughly worn out and broken down after a few years in the royal service. He plays practical jokes on his retinue sometimes. It is related of him that a minister arrived in hot haste once to crave an audience on im portant business of state. The king was out hunting the chamois , but by some chance the minister succeeded in catching up to the party. Ludwig preceded him to a gamekeeper's hut , where he sometimes used to lunch and went in , telling him to attend him. The minister waited one hour , two hours , and at last , losing patience , and fear ing that his royal master might have been attacked by some sudden illness , forced in the door. No king was there. He had made his exit by a window at the back and was away on the high hills in pursuit of game. In the capital his majesty of ten commands an opera generally one by Wagner , for whom he has a strange predilec tion as a predecessor on the throne had for Lola Montez and' this opera is produced in the middle of the day. The theater is darkened , and no one is ad mitted to the auditorium but himself. If lie is pleased he sends the prima donna , not a bracelet or a ring , but a bouquet of flowers plucked by liis own hand. He once had "Lohengrin" en acted on the Starnberger See , the borders ' ders of the lake having' been illumina ted a glorino at his expense. When the war with France broke out he was displeased , but dare not attempt to stem the tide of universal German feel ing. However , he declined to go to the front , and withdrew himself to his beloved solitudes while the stirring events which led to the building of the German empire were thrilling the world with excitement. At the close of the duel of Titans , the crown prince of Germany came to Munich to pass the victorious Bavarians in gala review. The king fled again to the mountains. He knew the popular commander would receive an enthusiastic greeting , and he did not chose to play second fiddle in his own capital to any do mestic foreigner. He takes a deep in terest in the "Passion Play , " and when Josef Meyer was drafted into a fight ing contingent he gave strict orders that he should be detained at Munich and employed as a clerk in the war office. The village of the Mystery lost its own share in that conflict which brought mourning to so many humble firesides in the fatherland , and of the actual performers two or three who had speaking parts in 1870 were killed in the field or succumbed to their wounds. m i m By the Dial. They had been sitting on the prome nade deck for more than an hour , when she suggested that they go down stairs and look at the machinery. He agreed , and an old lady who sat near by and heard the conversation rose up and said : "Young man , have you any objec tion to my going along ? I ve ollus been crazy on the subject of machin ery. " He replied that he would be delight ed , and she followed the couple to the main deck. "This , I suppose you know , " began the.young man. "is called the main shaft. " "Yes yes came from the state of Maine , " twittered the young lady. The old lady stuck up her nose but made no remarks. "That up there is the walking- beam. " "Oh , is it ? How nice ! You wouldn't think it would walk , but of course it does. " The old woman put on her spectacles to get a better look at the girl. "That rod you see there , continued the young man , "is called an eccen tric. " "How funny ! But why shouldn't it be ? There are eccentric people , and why shouldn't there be eccentric rods ? I presume it gets cranky sometimes. Go on , George. " "I don'tbelieve it ! " muttered the old woman. 'SAnd this is called a steam chest , my dear. " "Oh , is it ? I've always wanted to see one. They put their steam in there to keep it cool and nice. It's the same principle as a refrigerator. Yes , George. " The old woman removed her specs and began to look as mad as a cow on a sand-bar. "That thing up there is called a steam dial , " said George. "Oh , how nice ! I've read of it somewhere in Shakespeare's work. I see the pointer is at 80. My ! but who'd believe we were carrying eighty tons of steam. George , if we blow up you must save me indeed , you must. What's that glass thing ? " "It's a water indicator. " "Oh , I see. It indicates that we are on the water. How grateful we ought to be to the geniuses of America for these inventions. " Here the old lady started to leave with a "humph ! " of disgust , but the young man called : "Madame , you are not interested ? " "Look-a-here , young man ! " she ex claimed as she wheeled around ; "meb- be you can make a fool of that inner- cent young gal , and mebbe she de lights in it , but when it comes to stuf fing old hens with chopped straw it won't go down ! Pass on ! I'm a walk- in'-beam myself , and I'm going to walk. " And away she sailed , carrying forty pounds of steamby the dial. ZIFEISBUTA DAT.

Do the Horrors of the I'olar fflyht TFVci/-cu the Human Jiraln' ' BUJamei Gazette , Some time ago , "the present Mr. Pepys , " writing m this journal , remark ed upon the little known fact that the darkness , the loneliness , the starvation of cold which Arctic explorers undergo , breed madness in un extraordinary num ber of cases. We now learn that the minds of Lieut. Greely's companions were found to be "all weak , " and that one became insane before he died. Our Mr. Pepys told a dreadful story in illus tration of his remark a story that may be worth repeating : Capt. Cserved as a junior oflicer in a certain north pole expedition. Away they went and soon were lost in soli tude ; and then a time with naught to debut but watch a long procession of. ghostly days. But in the commander's snip his lieutenant went mad , and presently food began to fail , and then the commander , calling his officers together , told them they had come to the time of half ra tions. But it was also time , at a cer tain place that might be reached over land , a relief ship should arrive with stores ; and now the question was , who would volunteer to go off to the ship , C offered to lead the party , and he did so , taking with him a fair share of provisions , and the mad lieutenant , who , poor wretch , was bound down in the boat he was drawn in. So the } ' jour neyed day after day ; the mad lieutenant Eresently regaining his reason , the well- oarded provender still diminishing , till these poor seamen turned in one night to rest with their last biscuit in their bellies. A sad night ; but in the morning on again cheerily as might be , and there was the ship visible almost as soon as they had started. Now , there was a sur geon on board that ship ; and after the surgeon had dutifully examined C 's men , he took him aside and told him' ' nearly all of them might expect to go mad some day. As for the lieutenant , he relapsed ; and there was an end of him. As for C , he only grew fret ful. Like many other seamen , he thought himself neglected and his suffer ings and services shamefully forgot. For years he grumbled , ever talking of his wrongs ; as how many more do ! and how pitiful it is to hear them. Now a cer tain great nobleman , the Duke of , had lately refurnished and reappointcd his ancient castle in the north ; and when all was done he invited a great bevy of his friends to an entertainment there , and amongst them Capt. C , for whom he had a kindness. The first eve ning there was a grand ceremonious banquet , and thereat sat C , and as soon as soup was served grew warm about his wrongs and the notorious ac cursed favoritism of admiralty officials. Nor would he cease , though the duke threw him many a meaning glance ; would have much pleasure in taking wine with Capt. C , and so forth. Now , at the table was a lord of admiral ty himself ; and by that , and by the duke's friendship , we may understand how it came about that just as dinner was over a great letter , with a grand official seal , was handed by a footman to my captain. It had just arrived ; it was of immediate importance ; it was a commission of appointment to the com mand of a noble ship ordered on instant service. A word of leave-taking , and that very night the happy seaman was hurrying on the southward road. In due time he came to the port where his ship lay ; and there she was in Sun day trim to receive him , and his lieuten ant in full rig to welcome him. aboard. Gladly and proudly he stepped aboard ; and forthwith went raving mad on his quarter deck. How a Monarch. Died. Of the many strange stories told of the oldest actors in those days when scen ery was but an adjunct to the stage , and a wretched one at that perhaps none is more grotesquely funny than the old one of Macready. in "Hamlet , " says the Hoosier. In the last act of "Hamlet , " when , as all lovers of Shakspeare know , a general slaughter takes place , "Ham let" soliloquizes for a few brief moments , uttering his sentences slowly before he himself feels the death pangs from "Laertes1" poisoned blade. On the oc casion in question the person who en acted the part of "Claudius" ( the king ) had an enmity against "Hamlet ; " and when the latter came near the end of his soliloquy , he noticed that should he drop where he stood , the curtain would not hide him from view when it fell. He therefore gave a kick to the prostrate king , and muttered to him angrily in a sotto voce the appalling direction : "Die further back. " Of this his enemy took no notice , and the unhappy "Hamlet" was compelled again to interrupt his ante-mortem state ment ( if so it may be called ) by again admonishing his uncle to die a little fur ther from the footlights : To this appeal the king paid no attention , and at last , goaded to desperation by the knowledge of the fact that his lines would permit of no further delay , "Hamlet" administer ed his admonition : "Die further back , " accompanied by a kick of great strength and vigor. To the astonishment of the doleful Dane , but to the delight of the audience ( more especially to that portion tion commonly known as the gods , ) the defunct king rose to a sitting posture , and with a stentorian voice said : "I'm king here , and I'll die where I please.
