Ding Dongr heaved a huge sigh and cobbed a convulsive sob as he laid It s .-aching head on his weary anus on the table and racked his brain in agony of -•pint, The dies irae has come—his •day of reckoning. It was the day l»tfore the Chinese New Year’s—February 5, according to your calendar—when every good Chinaman must settle up or go up the spout and confess himself dishonored. He owed only a little matter of 100 taels— not pigtails nor cow tails, you understand, but silver taels—equivalent to $130 in American money. If he had that many taels, he would gladly have paid up, for there was nothing small about Ding; but he didn’t, and thereby„hangs a tale*. If Ding had only possessed the glorious birthright of an American, instead Of worrying over such a trifling matter be would have let his creditor dose, get an extension of time, and then settle up at twenty cents on the dollar. A* it was, poor Ding only saw ruination before him and dilapidation of his air castles. Grim despair, like an immense bat, spread her sable wings and overcast his sensitive soul with shadows and dark forebodings. Ding Doug was poor, and on orphan— not quite as poor as a church mouse, perhaps, for he still had something better to eat than hymn books and velvet cushions^ but still so poor that the patches on his gown made it look like a crazy quilt, while its back had received such a deposit of oil from his braided hair as would gladden the heart of a Pennsylvania capitalist to strike. His father was the famous Ding Dong. Who had been a mandarin in the service of the emperor. Dong was a true father to the people over whom he was sent to rule, and knowing-that too much money would not be good for them, “squeezed" them on .all occasions, thereby growing enormously rich. l>ut as he was not prudent enough to share his ill-gotten gains with h» superiors, hg was denounced by the censors for malfeasance in office, and had his head taken off and his property confiscated. llis mother, having died during bis father's financial crisis, the younger Ding found himself at the age of IS a lone orphan and penniless. Now that he had to shift for himself, our hero ©p* ned a school, and w as so far suocessful that he had plenty to eat and good clothes on his hack until ambition and a laudable desire to better bis condition prompted him to borrmv monev to defray the expense of a journey to Canton, w here he, proposed to test his luck and skill in the public examination. From this literary contest he came out w ith flying colors. He was no slouch as a scholar, though he might lie wanting when weighed in the scales of Mammon. In scholastic attainments Ju* had "few- equals and hardly any superiors. He had vanquished many antagonists in the examination halls of his native town, where he proved again and again that hecouid q*^>te Confucius and other sages at a* longer stretch than anyone, com pose tKH'ms w ith greater elegance and ease and write Chinese hieroglyphics w ith finer touch and finish. He let! his class in the examination at Cantor., thereby climbing the first rung on the ladder of fame and winning the seutsai’s brass button. There remained only two more trials, w hich. successfully passed through, would land him at the top of the heap, from which he ©onid fatten at the public crib at ho leisure. <■ Fut his triumph was shortened, and bis dreams of fut are greatness were disturbed by thoughts of the debt he still ©wed. w hose interest he had been able to pay by dint of economy, but whose j principal he saw no chance of settling ; before the new year rolled in. His creditor was no other than his future father-in-law*, to whose daugh- j ter he had been engaged, while Cue elder Ding was making money hand over fist, and the Ding family seemed to be in the flood tide of worldly prosperity. But when the family was reduced in numbers as well as in means

t>y order of his sacred majesty, the son i ©f heaven, the fattier of the girl said to I his wife: “I told you so." and regretted his haste in making the match. The j old gentleman, who went by the name of Jn Dun. was rich and more worldly] minded than common, lie. too. grew] vvt althy by “squeezing” the people—j not, however, as their father, like Ding Dong, but as their “uncle,” whose golden rule was “Do others or they will do you.” He was in the habit of loaning j little sums to people in straitened eir- j cu instances at ten per cent, per month ! Interest, and by adding this to the prin- S cipal in case of its non-payment at the j end of the month. By this method of j compound interest he got many per-! sons to give up houses and lands, and ! even daughters, to him m payment of j debt*. Those who could not settle up] thus had to settle down in the debtors’ j prison, where they languished in chains and misery until death came to their relief. Ju Dun was withal a miser and hoarded the money he did not lend as if be were to excel Methusaleh in longevity. His clothes were worn as long as they ] could stand mending. He grudged his J wife and only child the very necessaries ] of life. In order to »ve the expense j ©i a luxurious table and at the same] time preserve the appearances he and ’ his family were in the habit of eating! the coarsest and cheapest rice and din- j ing on what seemed to be a large fish, ] but which was made of wood garnished j -with strips of salt pork and seasoned with sauce, ginger and onion shoots. Instead of meat he had a lot of pebbles fried in the moat approved style of the culinary art, which in the month of the

diner grave a relish to the rice and could be fried over and over again without any appreciable loss of substance. Being such a grasping usurer and close-fisted skinflint, or rather skin pebble, one would not naturally expect Ju Dun to view his prospective son-in-law with favor, but there was the marriage contract which he himself had drawn up with the elder Ding. How was he going to get around it without Ding Bong’s consent? He saw no way of going back on his bond at that time or forcing Ding Dong to withdraw from the alliance; but, like the wily rascal that he was, he determined to bide his time and watched for an opportunity to gracefully give Ding Dong the go by. The opportunity came when Dong went to &sk him for a loan for the purpose of paying his debts, when the following conversation took place, which we will translate for the reader’s benefit: “Honored sir”—thus Ding Dong began—“I have come humbly to solicit the loan of 100 taels, which your wellfilled coffers will hardly miss, that l may go to Canton and take part in the coming examination. I felt some delicacy of asking this of you on account of, our future relationship, but my urgent necessity has banished all hesitation.” “Young man,” replied .Tu Dun, “what do you take me for—a gold mine? People don’t know how poor I am when they tell ridiculous stories about my wealth. Wealth, indeed! I wish I had only one-tenth of what they say I am worth. I lose money every day. Why. only yesterday a man hanged himself to escape the payment of moneys rightfully due to me.” “I am sorry, worthy sir.” returned Dong, “but I am not at all likely to follow that man’s example. I have mv school, you know, and I propose to pay the tuition fees to you until I shall have wiped out the debt. And. although !>ou may not have the required 100 | taels on hand, you can easily raise it. 1 trust that you will permit your benevolent disposition to do its work in j my case.” Dong knew he was administering a rather strong dose of taffy. The miser seemd to relent a little, saying: “But I never lend without good security. What security ean yofl offer?" "None, mv^good sir. except an order to my pupils to pay you their tuition fees—excepting the little that I shall require to live, and—and the word of an honest man.” “The last I do not want,” said Ju Dun. "It is irt>t negotiable in the money market. But the biher security will do so far as the iuterest is concerned. But how about the principal?” “I expect, sir, to earn enough to pay it off by the end of this year.” A look of cunning stole into Ju Dun’s eyes as he asked: “If not, what then?” “I do not apprehend such a contingency.” answered Dong. “Well. I do.’’ said Ju Dun. “I hqve a mind not to lend you the money. Still, 1 will risk a little for the friendship I bore your father. But you understand. most talented sir, that in ease you cannot pay me the principal before New Year’s day, our intimate relations must cease, for I will not and cannpt marry my only child to a bankrupt and a dishonored man.” The blood rushed over Dong’s checks and mounted his temples at the bare possibility of dishonor coming to him. lie was an honorable man, was Dong, chock full of fine feeling. It was his misfortune' to have had such a father. If he had had his say g^bout it instead t the god who presided over the wheel t; transmigration, he would have preferred a more prudent man to be his father. He was no “chip of the old j block”—not by a great deal He felt humiliated, but nevertheless j answered, spiritedly: “Excellent sir, if I 1 fail to pay you, 1 Will gladly release j you from performing your part of the | marriage contract.”

"tou need not get. so nuny over iw rejoined the old man. “Business is | business, and it is no harm to let you understand the conditions. Sit down here and! write a promissory note with an express condition to the effect that, in case you fail to pay up ihferest and principal in full for value received before New Year's day. you will renounce all claims to my daughter’s hand, and I will try to raise the money for you." Dong drew his chair up to the table and wrote the note, while the old miser went into the garden to raise the 100 j taels. Making sure that no one was j looking, he moved a large vase from its jiosition. then unlocked a trapdoor which covered a sort of stairway that j led to a vault. This vault held an iron « hest, in which all his valuables were j deposited. It took but a few minutes i to descend, open the box, secure the money and put everything back as it was before. The note and the money soon changed j hands, and Dong went away rejoicing, leaving Ju Dun equally pleased with his j bargain, for he had no idea Dong could I p*y it. , Dong worried and worried over that i small sum of 100 taels and lost flesh by j thinking so much and dreaming so j often of the gleaming, treacherous taels. At length he was reduced to that condition of despair in which our story lirst finds him. He sat in that chair immovable and alone. He had sent his pupils home that morning for their long vacation. J Thoughts unwelcome and bitter as nut- j galls passed tn procession before his j mental vision, and, like Banquo’s reiterated ghost, would not down. Absorbed as Dong was in melancholy reflections, and imagining himself already a cold corpse dangling under the branches of some tree, be did not perceive the approach of a little boy until the latter stood beside him and startled him by saytefc in a timid votes:

“Teacher, father sent me to ask ytrt to come to oar house." Dong' raised his head and saw one of his pupils before him. “What is it you want?” “My father sends his respects and asks you to favor him with a call. My oldest brother came back this morning from America. He brought home lots of funny things. If you come, he will show them to you.” Glad of this little relief, Dong accompanied the boy to the latter’s house and there received a most hearty wel- ! come. The big brother displayed his ^ensures and enjoyed Dong’s curiosity and wonder as he explained the uses and the modus operandi of every article to him. These were a sewing machine, i a pair of opera glasses, a contrivance for making hash out of every kind of meat under the sun, a stereoscope, a microscope and a hundred other things besides, that stamp the Yankee as the most ingenious person in all the world. But nothing astonished Dong so much as the little electric machine which sent a thrill through his spare frame and sunk his suicidal purpose in the lowest depths of Lethe. But the phonograph scared him with its peculiar sepulchral tones. As he stood before the talking machine with dilated eyes and mouth | opened wide sweet strains of Americas music greeted his ears. ! Then “Home, Sweet Home,” “Annie Rooney,” “llock-a-by-Baby,” “Thou Art So Near and Yet So Far” and “What Is Home Without a Mother-in-Law*?” rolled out in rapid succession. Dong, of course, coyld not appreciate them any more than a cat, but the weirdness of the sounds fascinated him. When the concert Was ended, he had many questions to ask. The returned traveler kindly showed him everything pertaining to the wonderful machine, told nine to talk to it himself, and excited his wonder still more by making the phonograph repeat Dong's ow n words. Suddenly a thought struck him so hard that he jumped up like one possessed, nearly upsetting the machine and the big brother’s gravity, yelling at the same time: “\Yhoop-la, whoop-la! I have got it! 1 have got it! I’ll beat the old miser yet.” “Got what?" shouted everybody in the room in a chorus. “What are you | talking about?” “Got him, you know*—the old skin- ! flint, l'ii have him, by the shade of the great Confucius, or die in the attempt!” “Explain yourself,” said the returned traveler. This Dong did, after taking him aside, by recounting his troubles from beginning to end, closing with an appeal for aid to defeat the wicked plan of Ju Dun. It was arranged and agreed upon that the traveler should make the machine talk like Quan King, the god who avenges wrongs, when Ju Dun should make his demand for payment of the debt. At the- same time a dose of electricity—Edison's best—was to be administered to him as an alternative and mild emetic. Word was sent to Ju Dun to meet Dong at the latter's residence (which was likewise the school) after dark, without fail. The two conspirators got ready their machines In Dong’s sitting-room. The phonograph was set in a corner where it could be manipulated by the returned j traveler behind a curtain with the box of condensed lightning beside him. The wires belonging to the last piece of mechanism were so laid on the arms of • the guest's.chair that anyone sitting in it was sure to form a connection between them. It was dark. The patrolman outside bad just struck the first hour of the ' night watch when a knock was heard at the door. Dong answered the sum- j mons, and soon ushered the old usurer ; ■to his room. It was dimly lighted : \ t with the stump end of a candle. Tuere was on every side every evidence , of poverty. A bed made of hard boards, i surmounted by a mosquito bar, nearly I filled one side of the apartment. A cheap table held all his books on the opposite side. Two stuffed backed j chairs stood beside the table, one of which Dong politely offered to his j guest, while he took the other. it was evident that Ju Dun was se- j cretly exultant. Dong, of course, had j sent for him to beg his mercy. There ; w as no chance of his paying. There Vu® | a look in Ju's little black eyes which, j boded no good to anybody. However, a j stuile played around his mouth as he • ojtened the discourse and came right down to business: “My dear young friend, I suppose you j are now ready to cancel the note. No ? Then you know* the alternative. Yourare bankrupt, and I renounce—” Suddenly a voice—a clear but unearthly voice—interrupted him with: “You hoary-headed old sinner, you j low-born caricature of a man, you old si.cker of pebbles, do you know w ho I am? I am Quau King, the avenger of j wrongs, the punisher anti destroyer of just sueh pest* as you. 1 have order* to kill you!” “Unless,” continued the mysterious voice, “you tear tip the note which this young man gave you, give him your daughter in mar- j riage inside of a month with a suitable dowry, and mend your ^grasping, blood-sucking ways.” These words were enforced bv a few

more volts of electricity. “I promise! I promise! Let me go, and I will tear up the note and do everything you command.*’ The current was broken off at this juncture. His hands now being free. Ju Dun thrust one of them into his pocket, brought out the piece of paper in question, and tore it into hundreds of fragments with the other. Then, turning to Dong, who had been watching the execution of his scheme in a state of mind vacillating between hope and fear, he bade him come to his house on the morrow to arrange for the wed* ding. Jn Dun obeyed the god’s commands to the very letter, and to this day dose not taws how he had beea tricked.— St.T Post-Dispatch.

SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH. Southern Writer’s Emphatic Belief In Jfe^ro Education. A friend writing from Atlanta, Ga., incloses a clipping from an Atlanta journal on the education of the negro. This article states that during the last 26 years 16 former slave states have appropriated nearly $50,000,Q00 for negro schoolsi that their policy during the last 16 years, persistently pursued against great obstacles, shows that the south is irrevocably committed to two propositions: First, the support of negro schools by general taxation; second, the separation of the schools for the whites and negroes. The article goes on to affirm that under this policy 40 per cent, of the illiteracy of the negioes 'ias disappeared: that there are over 27.(WOsiegro teachers in the southern states, and their number, as well as the number of negro pupils, is steadily increasing; and that there aare. in the south 162 institutions for the secondary and higher education of negroes, including 32 colleges. Our correspondent adds: ' 4 “Our section is aroused as to the neec of more and better schools. Occasional editorial reference by you to ‘the infamous Sheats bill’ makes it clear to us that even you have failed to graspthe real meaning of the contention. Suppose you let us work it out. Our point of view is not the same and I can imagine the burning denunciation you would shower upon northern editors if you lived in the midst of a population of five-sixths negro, and saw the harm that such utterance caused. We like the negro. Our children prefer a negro to a white comrade, and the feeling is fully reciprocated by the enfranchised race. Trust the solution of the problem to us “ We have repeatedly in these columns emphasized the truth that the south believes in the education of the colored people and has attested its faith by its works. We are glad to give this evidence which our correspondent furnishes of the truth of this declaration so often made by us. Moreover, we are of the.opinion that separate schools and separate churches are generally better; I that separation is desired at present by botfa^aces; and if this desire were even simply due to race prejudice, it would be necessary to wait until time and patience should eradicate it. We call the Sheats bill in “infamous” one not because it provided for separate schools, but because it made it a criminal of- i fense for a white parent who wished to do so to send his child to a negro school, thus requiring him. in case no other provision was made for the education of white children, to leave his child to I grow up in ignorance. It is not necessary to enforce the laws of nature by statutory penalties. So longasthe state provides adequately separate schools ' for colored and white pupils, it should allow white pupils to enter the colored | schools in the very rare exceptional cases in which they wish to do so.—Out•ook. i
