A Shapghae correspondent of the Boston jour

Iumedisteiy behind the house Of the bishop
rises sharp steep ridge Of very peculiar geOlOgi-
cal formation. mile OF more in length, running
towsrd the river. IL Is almost one hundred feet
high, wide enough for a fOOt-path on top. Ii is
natural formation. and divides the city of W.

a msgp fcent panorama was before us-the liver
with countless iuuks and sampans, the three cities
with their tho ussnds of houses, the suburbs, vii
lagos green fields, luxnuant gardens, here and
there pegoda rearing its gray walls, immense
nuliiUdes ia the streets, at feet the palace or
yamun of the gOyernor-general of the two cen
trsl provinces, mandarin Of three buttons, ruler
Of from sixty to seventy millions of people.
The entrance to the palace is marked by two
tall Gag STATS painted red and hall up the stad
sort OF crows nest-s fixture somewhat like a
sbip's round top. Immense banners float in the
breeze, pendant from these stalls. Upon the
brick wall of the first court we see the represen-
taion Of fiery dragon, of proportions more
astounding than the negatherium or icthysarus,
teeth longer and sharper than erooOdiles, claws
more terrible TO behold than those of a lion.
Bunysn's Apollyon bears no comparison with
this monster with scales Ike q fish, tail like q
sepent's, eyes more terrible than any hobgeb-
bins flames darting like lightning from his nos
trils. Pendant from the caves of the palace are
a dozen paper lanterns, each be size OF hogs
head. Squads CT soldiers, as dirty "a the coolies
of the streets, are lounging around the doors,
play ing cards. Upon the walls are paintings by
Chinese srtisss, distinguished by gay colors, and
ar utter absence of perspective. such the OFT
side appearance. There may be luxurious ap art
ments within, but probably throughout the palace
there is nothing which would be called eoVIforta
