AN UNEXPECTED MEEr1NG-Ro-
NANCE IN REAL LIFE.-On the 23d
ultimo passenger came to Portland,
by the steamer Anglo-Saxon, and took
lodgings at one of the city hotels
Next morning he took the cars for
this city in company with gentleman
who had remained at the same house
with him over night, with whose coun-
tenance he, somehow or other imagin-
ed himself familiar. They got into
conversation incoming down the East.
ern Railroad, but nothing transpired
to elicit the fact whether or not they
had been old acquaintance. Wheu
they arrived at the depot, and had at.
tended to their luggage, one of the
gentlemen inquired in the hearing o.
the other for a cab to take him to /,
certain street in Charleston. The 9th
er said he purposed going to the sam.
street, and the two engaged the sam,
conveyance. On arriving at the street
in question it appeared that they bott
designed to call on the same individual
Tais strange series of co incidence
greatly puzzled both but their mutua
surprise and delight can be imagined
but in a degree, when they found tha
they were brothers, and that they hat
thus singulary met at the house of /.
third brother. One of them has beer
in the services of the Pacha of Egypt
for twenty-five years; the other has
spent sixteen years in the East Indies
while the third has been in this coun
try during nineteen years past. The
brothers ire natives of Scotland
and have not seen each other for TWEEN
ty-four years.

From tho New York Times
Yoh In DURANGO Vile.

II anybody wishes to understand the
Chinese character, or rather to under
stand that nobody not Chinese can
understand it, we advise HIM to bestow
his attention upon the narrative of
Yeh's capture bv the British sailors at
Canton, which we published yesterday.
Nothing could be more ignominious
than the circumstances in which the
terrible Viceroy of the Son Of Heaven
was arrested. He was climbing over
q high wall as nimbly as fat man
could be expected to, when his "tail"
was seized by sturdy blue-jackct,
who took slight thereon immedi-
ately, and logged his excelIency back
wards into the yamon from which he
had just emerged.
History records no less dignified
termination of public career. The
death of Nero was not brilliant, though
that clever monster made the best of
the case and the hustling of James |
Of Eng land by low fellows on fishing
smack was bitter blow to the wor-
shippers of the divinity that should
hedge King. But Ych Jared worse
than the Roman Caesar or the British
Stuart. Had he been European, or
even creature comprehensive by the
European mind, this deplorablc humil-
iation would have affected his mind.
But he was Yeh, and Celestial man
DARN, and so as soon as he got well
over his fright, he resumed with per
feet composure his usual bearing to-
ward the "barbarians." He pretended
not to know the "man Parkes," and
when that British Consul brought him
to with short answer, he declined
going with TIE sailors ont Of the yaman
He would wait there, he said, "for the
men Of Gross and Elgin." When this
point, too, had to be conceded to his
new and urgent fiends, he could not
possibly recollect anything about the
"prisoners" which he had taken a few
months before. allow should he
trouble himself about such matters 2"
The Allies took his private papers, and
found among them, to their surprise,
the original notifications of the treaties
with France, America and England.
Had they never been sent to Pckin,
theni 30, no, certainly not. Why
should the Emperor be troubled with
such trivial documents, about matter
SO extremely insignificant -
Now, this impotence on the part of
Yeh is not only grand to the verge of
gorgeousness-and altogether impo-
sing to the Western mind-it is in
structive as well. 1t teaches more elo-
quently than long lectures could, the
absolute impossibility Of reaching the
Chinese character through the Great
Wall of Chinese forms and official self
conceit. 1t shows how hopeless all
means but the most imperative must
prove to be, 10 dealing with people so
incredibly superior, in their own eyes,
to all the rest of mankind and it
throws fresh light upon the folly Of
our own Government, in attempting to
approach, through diplomatic forms,
and with q pretencc of equality, a race
Of men SO deceitful, so vain, and SO lit
tie impressible by the appeals Of mod
ern craftsmanship" as the Madarin'
