The Tartar city is composed of
three rectangular areas, one within
the other. The inner one is known
as the prohibited City, or Palace,
and no Western barbarian has ever
entered this sacred enclosure since
the Jesuits were ordered out of the
Empire, one hundred and fifty years
ago. Our knowledge of it, therefore,
comes from them slightly modified by
information given us by the natives
and by what we have been able to
observe ourselves:
Passing up the Meridian avenue we
come TO a gate which. opens into a
spacious court yard, and eoutinuing
on in the same direction, we approach
the Gate of Heavenly Blest. Beside
it is a high tower containing an enor-

nous gong, which is said to have been
used during the previous dynasty, as
now, for any one to strike who has q
complaint or an appeal to make to
the Emperor, but as death is the PEN
atty for all who dare to exercise such
privilege and then does not success
fully prove their claim, we can natu-
rally infer that the Emperor is not Of
ten disturbed with its harsh reverDer-
atoms.
1t is in front of this gate that sue
cessful Generals display their trophies
and captives.
On our right hand, as we face the
north, is a gate opening out into an
Enclosure containing a large number
of buildings, which are collectively
styled the Great Ancestra Temple,
and there are preserved the tablets of
the deceased Emperors and Empress
ses, and here the Imperial family
worship their forefathers. On our
left is a corresponding gate, opening
out ON the alter of the Gods Of
Land and Grain, where the Emperor
alone performs sacrifices TO these DEF
ties. W no are supposed to have orig
lnally been men and have been can
onized for the great benefits they con.
ferred on mankind. This altar is
composed of two stories, each five
feet high. the upper one being fifty
eight feet square. It's north side is
black, it's east side green, its west side
white, and top imperial yellow. It
would be considered high treason in
any officer to erect a similar altar in
any part of the Empire.

THE TEMpLE OF AaRICULTURE.

West of the Temple of Haven,
across the Meridian avenue, is the
Temple of Earth, or as it is more
generally known to foreigners, the
Temple of Agriculture. There are
really four separate affairs in different
parts of the grounds. The enc that
visited after passing through q num-
Der of different enclosures, was a small
square structure about six feet high
by thirty feet square. On the front
and back side were steps leading up
to the top, which was bordered with
balustrade. According to my guide
and several natives, who appeared to
have charge of the grounds. it is in
the area surrounding this temple that
the Emperor, assisted with the Board
of Rites, performs the ceremony OF
ploughing, to show the people his APP
probation of the dignity and value of
the labors of the husbandman. This
takes place at the equinox in Spring.
Another Of these affairs is clrcu-
lar mound of three terraces IN mar
BILE, exactly like those on which
stands the Temple of Heaven. The
top or surface of the upper terrace
is about one hundred feet in diam
eter.
One of the four affairs is consecra-
ted to the spirits of the earth, one
to the spirits of heaven, one to the
planet Jupiter, and one to Shiunung,
who is supposed to have been the
first to teach men how to till the soil.

FISH POND.

Not far from the Temple of Heaven
is large series of ponds where the
Chinese raise great numbers of their
lavorites, the golden fishes. East of
that is large area, chiefly devoted to
the culture of vegetables, it being
the theory of the Chinese that the
walls of a city should not only inclose
space enough for its inhabitants, but
sufficient lands for them to raise the
food they require. and therefore that
they may be able to hold against
siege for an indefinite period. A short
distance west from the Altar of Agri-
culture is an artificial pond called the
Pool of the Black Dragon. where the
Son of Heaven performs certain rites
when his people are suffering from q
severe drouth or an extensive deluge.
IF one desires TO witness shocking
sights he needs only to go to the pub
lie execution ground at the Western
South Gate of the Tartar city. where
he will almost always see several
cages filed with the heads of unfor-
-tunate Celestials, in every stage oil
decomposition.

22oT priests OF various grades the regular Of rs 70
monks, In which are included great number Of

The lay population Of Rome consists of numerous
nobility, all OF whom live in great splendor; OF real
estate owners and those addicted to land culture
of advocates and attorneys, whose functions are
quite distinct, differing both in dignity and import
ance, though they both belong to the profession Of
lawyers; Of men OF letters well professors Of
science and literature in all their branches; Of stu
dents in the various colleges; OF large number Of
artists and amateurs; of employees of the Govern
ment, physicians and others, The rest OF the popu-
lation Is made up Of mechanics and workmen Of all
sorts. A very large proportion of this class are
domestics, men at SERVICE permanently employed to
perform duties in the houses OF cardinals preates,
and the rich citizens OF the city population 1860
are in the military service of the Pope
There are comparatively few shopkeepers and
merchants in Rome-only enough to supply the
wants Of its inhabitants for the necessities or CON-
forts Of life. But the Jews, who are generally we'll
to-do people and addicted to commerce, furnish the
inhabitants with almost everything they have use
for especially in the line of dry goods. Their num-
Der is 1880. They live together in a separate quar-
ter assigned to them in the city, where they have
synagogue. The beggars are estimated to number
between two and three thousand.

THE MARSEILLAISE.
ssThat SeditiOus Song''-Its Magical Effect
Upon tho ExcitabIe French.

correspondent Of London journal gives the
following account OF Nj. CremieuX OF the French
Provisional Government, and public assemblage
which he attended Having stated that the subject
of NJ Cremieux's speech was "The Marsellaise
Hymn the writer proceeds
NJ. CremieuX is now seventy-four, though his voice
and spirited bearing showed no symptoms OF this
advanced age and no less than fifty years ago he
made his first hit as rising advocate by his defense
of four prisoners accused of singing that seditiOus
song, the 'Marseillase." From a book recording
the history of his triumph M. CremieuX to the
audience (0r rather delivered over again-lt was
given with so much gusto and sprit his speech a
young barrster of twenty -four, describing with
great nGUete how he Mortified the Judge, but charmed
and conciliated the jury, by reading in full Court
the ''seditious song" with all the emphasis and
fire Of which he was capable-committing himself
in fact, as 1t were over again the
very crime with which the client he was defending
pose. The verdict was a triumphant acquittal, aud
NJ CremeuX was thenceforth made man. The
Jury could not have been more pleased with the
young advocate than the Porte st. Martin audience
apparently risk of being encoIed, when he was
rescued from this trying compliment by the advance
OF Madle Agar to sing the song he had just been
dscoursing upon-the MarSeillaiSe. Her voice was
strength, but her management OF it was good, and
her play OF feature sngularly striking and impress
sive Her dress was that OF the classical Goddess
of Liberty-a tunc of simple white dropping loosely
over her figure, the expressive movements of which
it neither fettered nor concealed, and leaving the
arms bare Her long black hair falling disheVelled
down her shoulders and dark eyes full OF the fire OF
enthusiasm, gave her almost the appearance of one
inspired, and when at the last stanza she grasped
the tricOor flag, and, kneeling down, half shrouded
herself in its folds, the entire audience which filled
every corner and crevce Of the theatre from gallery
to fOor to their feet simultaneously as by the
