The Emperor Of China Ia soon to be mar
<1edI d!haa Imported pair OF elephants 70
assist atl the ceremony. His future eonsort
is undergoing akcafeful training In the eti-
qaette of. court life. For three years the
looms Of Nankin, Hongchou and Canton have
been engaged on the silks and satins Of her
bridal troussesu, and just now they are an
nomced ag completed, at Acost Of nearly half
a million in our money. When the BRIDE
gruom,l who has the!sun for his emblem, goes
forth in car drawn By elephants, his bride,
who represents the moon, is to be borne to her
palace in palanquin composed entirely OF
strings Of pearls. ~. -, CO.
The facts of the affair Of The lring'of q
Spanish Government ship upon the Florida on
the high seas, are said to be substantially
these: "After the Florida had sailed from st.
Thomas, aspanlsh man-ofwar followed and
tired;a blank cartridge at her. The Florida
continued on her way, and the man'of'war
then fred bali cartridge. The Florida was
then stopped and boat sent from the 'Vasco
Nunea de Balboa, thephcer In charge having
orders to examine the Fiorldas papers. As
no fault was found with the papers, the Flprl-
da was allowed to proceed on her voyage"
tits believed that It this act vas rdone;by the
oFfer tof Spain, orFt upheld bghefi lWnen
brought to her notice grave consequences may
ensue. The probability is, however, that she
will dlsclaim all respons iblity for it. The rule
is that outside the marine jurisdiction there
can be no forcible visiting on the high seas by
one nation Of the vessels Of another in time Of
peace for any sort Of inquiry. This well.un-
derstood principle Of international law has
been SO often Sipdicated BY this country that
Spain can scarcely be expected to violate 1t IN
the present instance with impunity.
-g-Krupp's great iron works at Essen, Ger
many, cover nearly eight square miles, and one
and balfmiles are under cover. They fur
niah employment for ten thousand men, who
do their work under discipline as strict az
that Of the military service. Castings weigh
ing forty tons have been made several times
In these works, and ten and twelye-ton blocks
are everyday sights : There are forty-nine
hammers in the works, of which four or five
are twenty five tons, three or four fifteen tons,
and q large number Eve and ten tons. The
greatest of all the hammers is wonder, and
cost five hundred thousand dollars. Its founda-
tions are one hundred feet deep, consisting Of
three tiers the first constructed of solid. ma
sonry, the second of the heaviest and stoutest
oaks to be found In all Germany, and the third
ofcylindrical segments OF cast iron upon winch
the anvil blocR rests. Inc nead OF Inc nam
mer weighs fifty tone: It's face is OF steel, and
1n,making 4, alter the steel had been cast, and
while it was molten, cast iron was poured dinto
it from the back. Everything that belongs 10
1t, and to the engine that operates 1t, Is IN
duplicate and riplieate. Fous steam cranes
serve 1t, and these are each tested to bear TWO
hundred tons, and are intended to bear forty
ton ingots, which are the largest cast. In
1866 sxty-one thousand tons of steel were
turned out from these works.
-Lowrey and his gang, of outlaws continue
to rule Robson County, North Carolina, un-
disturbed. The fruitless campaign Waged
against them BY the State and Federal troops
only served to render the desperadoes more
desperate and daring. Acorrespondent VINO

Inhabitants in such o condition OF aoject fear
