How the Emperor Was married-The

eiEnss Character. =
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
At an age when English boys are pursuing
their studies at Eton or Harrow the Emperor Of
China has taken upon himself the responsible
ties Of rnatrimony. The telegram which. pro-
claims the fact is brief in the extreme. We are
merely told that ftthe Emperor Of China Tas
married at Pekin, on the 18th Of October. There
was no public ceremony outside the palace, be-
yond the procession to bring the bride thither,
and the whole. affair passed off very quietly"
The prosaio terms Of this announcement
are an accurate reflection Of the me-
chanical nature Of the contract. Even the
small degree Of freedom which, under the
stringent rules OF Chinese etiquette, is accorded
to private Individuals is forbidden to the Son Of
Heaven. In strict compliance with the laws laid
down in the ss Rituals" tempered, it must be
added, with no small amount Of political jobbery,
the officers appointed for the purpose, select ont
Of the millions of snnall-footed inhabitants Of
China, one to be the Empress. Her future hus-
bands tastes are no more considered in the choice
than it he we're lay figure; and should the lady
prove herself to be; as has sometimes been the
case, the better horse" he lapses into nonen-
tity, and takes refuge in the destinations Of bis

strength can be combined with ornateness in q

most persistent reader OF new literature OF any
Government official. He has an interesting wife
and family, and to sit down and talk with them

this Court, keeps bachelors hall for the present

Of the most successful and modest OF all these

LITERARY SHIRTS OR SKIRTS.

The advantages OF newspapers are
every day developed, and new and be-
fore unsuspected uses for them are dis,
covered. Witness what recently befell
n gentleman and his wife In the Holy
Land. While they were travelling
toward Jerusalem they were beset by
bandits, and robbed not only of their
money and baggage, but even Of the
clothes in which they were standing,
or rather k~neeling for mercy. What
were they to do? If they had been
going to the Garden Of Eden 1t would
have been all we'll enough; but how
we're they to enter the ancient City Of
the Lord In a state Of primitive nudityr
In this horrible emergency they begged
back from the plunderers q copy Of the
London Times. Was there ever such
luck before? For they received not
only the usual copy OF the great jour-
nal, but 1t so happened that there was
a supplement, which was just the thing
for the lady! Thus clothed with ad-
vertisements, leading articles, foreign
correspondence, the money market and
the parliamentary debates, they en-.
tered Jerusalem panoplied against all
fierce Mussulmans-for these religion
ists, It will be remembered, respect
every square inch of paper, since
haply the name Of God may be written
thereon.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE At OAKLAND.
From the $. F. Bulletin Of yesterday.

lEIOh kHe ~. = . bdAiVhii Va yC1hCE0dls
On Sunday forenoon 4 young Ger
man girl. named Emily Brosth0f, at
tempted self-destruction ut the Eureka
Hotel, Oakland, by taking a large po-
ton OF strychnine and chloroform
mixed. The young woman recently
arrived in this country from Prussia,
and proceeded to Llvermore, where
she expected to meet her uncle and
other relatives. Her visit to that place
was attended with disappointment, and
she returned to Oakland Saturday
evening. She gave no evidence OF
yielding to dispair in consequence, and
appeared quite cheerful, amusing hel.
self by playing with children In the
parlor, before retiring for the night.
Sunday morning, after partaking Of
breakfast, she inquired for q drug store
aud at half-past 10 o'clock she was dis
covered suffering from the effects OF
the poison. Physicians were called,
and by the prompt application Of a
stomach pump aud proper antidotes,
the suicidal attempt was frustrated.
Yesterday the young woman was In a
fair way Of recovery, but greatly pros
trated. Ifshe has relatives still living
In the State, It Is hoped that they may
discover themselves to the frlendless
girl, who appears to have exhausted
her means In frultless Inquiries.

SALT LAKE ITEMS.
From the Tribune Of July 18th.

NEGRO SrARBED.-Yesterday after
noon, about 4 o'clock, q colored man
by the name Of Henry Walker was Sc
verely, II not fatally stabbed with a
dirk knife In the hands Of another col
ored gentleman. The occurrence took
place In a little alley east Of CONNER
cial street. Walker says he was not
expecting any attack, but that the man
stepped up TO him and said ~ am
going to kill YOU" and Immediately
drove the knife into him under the left
ribs up to the hilt. The wounded man
after being stabbed, walked up to Cod
Le's corner with the blood running
into his boots and marking his tracks
as he walked, aud on arrival there
complained OF feeling powerful
weak" From the best Information
we could get the wound is likely to
prove fatal. As late as s o'clock last
evening the police had not succeeded
In arresting the criminal.
Nor TO re SNEEzED Afr. B. CHS
holm, ono of the discoveries and orlgi-
nal owners Of tho Emma Mine, has
bought 200 feet Of the Highland Chief
OF Mr.. Harvey Hardy, one Of the dis
coverers of the Last Chance, a very ex-
cellent mine, at the sum Of $50 per
foot, $40, 900 for 200 feet. We under
stand that Messrs. Elliott Bros. own a
very large interest In the mine, as we'll
as Cunnington aud Chislett. Two
assays made by Mr.. John McVicker
shows the immense richness Of the ore.
Assay No. l-l346.3 OF. silver, 1888
or. gold value Of silver, $l,740 30;
value Of gold, $40 81; value Of gold
and silver, $3.50 81. Assay No. 2
1876 OF. silver; value OF silver,
1914 u. Such a mine as the above
assays show the Highland Chief to be,
bids fair to become q formidable rival
to the noted Emma Mine.
a SCARED PRISTER.-A few days
since a printer arrived here from the
peaceful wales Of New Jersey. After
remaining a few days, and working. a
letter was one evening handed him,
advising him to leave the place as o
as practicable for a more healthy CLINE,
and signed IA Good Mormon" The
printer, without waiting for further
orders, posted off by the 8 o'clock train
next morning for some country where
'.good Mormons" are not numerous,
leaving his earnings in the hands Of
his employers. We do not know who
are the perpetrators Of this practical
joke, but wish the typo Godspeed.
A NICE BRIcK.-A bar Of silver
Weighing $50 ounces, 99S fine. came
into the city yesterday from the Ophlr
works of the New Jersey Milling and
Furnace Company, OF Newark, n. j.,
which has recently established a branch
at Ophir City. The fineness Of the bar,
and the fact that the works are so far
doing we'll. reflect the highest credit
upon Mr.. Fawcett, the Superintendent.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.

Sunday evening, says the San Fran

tlon Of people passing on Kearny
street was attracted BY an uproar In
the entrance or q low dive at the cor

who frequent the place. Those who
Investigated the trouble discovered the
proprietor Of the den, a fellow named
Henry Dopson, holding a man down
with one hand at his throat and both
knees on his breast meantime pound
Ing him about the head and face with
savage brutality. After the injured
man was released he was found to be
unconscious and mutilated beyond re-
cognltion. Perhaps Dopson would
have completed the deed Of muder II

DEATH or A PIONEER.
George Cullins. IN Aged Veteran 81
the War 81 1912.

-
The subject of the following sketch,
which we clip from one of our ex-
changes, was a near relative OF q. w.
Cullins, proprietor OF the famous
Steamboat Springs property In this
State:
ON the morning OF February 9th,
1872. Mr., George Cullins, one of the
oldest and most highly esteemed citi-
zens of Perry township, died at the
advanced age OF 50 years, 5 month, and
81 DAYS.
Mr.. Cullins was born in Hampshire
county, Va, August IL, 1889, and em:-
grated 10 this country In connection
with hi, fathers family several years
before Ohio became q State. His father
settled on the Muskingum river some
distance above where the town of Ores
den now stands.
George being among the oldest Of his
fathers family, he was compelled to
undergo many hardshlps. His educa-
| ton was limited, owing to the sur
rounding circumstances Of his boyhood.
But be was a man of extraordinary
natural ability. firm, resolute and de-
tsrn,,ned' He was married to Mary
Woocheiar. whose father was one OF

DEATH Of Wru.knuNn CHARACTER.

From tho g. r. Republican, July ISL
- Bouton, for years one Of San
Francisco's characters, and for that
matter, one Of Sacramento's also, died
. day or two since at st. Mary's Hos
pital, Of consumption. He was the son
Of a rich merchant of New York city,
and received q good education. In
early life he went to South America,
where he engaged In mercantile pur-
suits, and was very successful. He
came to California about 1850, we
think, and was for a time the translator
of the laws Into Spanish. Politics led
him to whisky, and whisky led him TO
the dogs, so to speak. For years past
he has eked out a miserable existence
as the seeker after unconsidered trifes
from the hands of those who know him
In better days. He would, however,
occasionally ..straighten up" but only
to fall again. The grip Of the demon
had too firm a hold upon him. Bouton
was the unlntentlonal and Indirect
cause of the death of supervisor Fair
man a few years ago. Having entered
Mr.. Fairman's saloon, and becoming
boisterous, and. refusing to leave when
ordered to do so, Fairman struck him
In the teeth. The blow cut his knuckles
badly; erysipelas followed and death
ensued, caused by the poison from
Bouton's teeth and breath. Bouton,
In former years, frequently received
large remlttances from his friends In
the East to enable him to return home.
But he always sqandered the money,
and was at length abandoned to fate.
He was a man Of fine natural abilities
and traits, with a most extraordinary
memory, 50 that up to the time of his
death he could reclte lengthy poems
learned In his youth. Yet he perlshed
like a dog-drowned in whisky.

A PANIC Al The BOSTON JUBILEE.

4 correspondent Of the New York
Herald Of the 9th instant, describing
the second concert of the previous day,
| writes:
Fortunately. the intense heat pre-
vented the assemblage Of a large audi
ence. Had 1t been otherwise the Ju-
bilee would, in all probability, have
left sad memories behind it. The first
part of the programme was sustained
almost entirely by the English baud,
and they were just beginning their Sc
lections when the hitherto bright and
sunny day became suddenly overcast.
The rumblings of the distant advanc-
ing thunder came to mingle with the
weakened music Of the instruments,
and lurid lightning flashes shot out
from the overcast sky. No attention
was paid to these threatening signs un-
I'll suddenly a fierce gust Of wind
swept Owe the city, accompa-
MED by deafening peals Of thunder
and liquid-looking flashes Of sheet
lightning. The doors Of the Coliseum
were open in order to allow the air to
