The TOmbs OfChinese EmperOrs,

| These are the tOmbS OF the Ming en-
perors, one of the most brilliant dynas
ties of Chinese history. They lie in 9
circular valley which opens out from g
great plain, and is surrounded by lime
stone peaks and granite domes, forming
barren and waste amphitheatre. The
grandeur of its dimensions and the aw-
full barrenness of its desolation make il
a fit resting place for the imperial dead
of the last native dynasty. At the foot
of the surrounding heights thirteen gi-
gantic tombs, ,encircled with green trees,
are arranged in semicircle. Five ma
iestic portals, about eight hundred yards
apart, form the entrance to the tombs.
From the portico giving entrance to the
valley to the tomb of the first emperor
is more than league, and the long ave-
nue. is marked first by winged columns
of white marble, and next by two rows
of animals, carved in gigantic proper
tions. OF these there are, on either
side, two lions standing, two lions sit
ting one camel standing, one kneeling;
one elephant standing, one kneeling /;
one dragon standing, one sitting; two
horses standing six warriors, courtiers.
etc. The lions are fifteen feet high, and
the others equally colossal, while each
of the figures is carved from a single
block of granite.
At the end of the avenue are the
tombs, with groups of trees about them.
Each tomb is really temple in which
white and pink marble, porphyry and
carved teak-wood are combined, not
indeed with harmony or taste, but, what
IS rare in China, with lines of great pu-
rity and severity. One of the halls of
these tombs is about hundred feet
long by about eighty wide. The cell
ing is from forty to sixty feet high, and
is supported by rows of pillars, each
formed of single stick of teak timber
eleven feet in circumference, These
sticks were brought for this purpose
from the south of China, and with
land journey from Pekin of more than
thirty miles. Though they have been
in position over nine hundred years,
they appear as sound as when first
posed, nor has the austere splendor of
the structure suffered in any degree.
The sombre obscurity well BELTS
these sepulchral dwellings, and the dull

the guardians makes the vaults rever-
berate in singular and impressive way.
Behind the memorial temple rises an
artificial mound about fifty feet high,
access to the top of which is given by
rising arched passage built of white
marble. On the top of the mound is an
imposing marble structure consisting
of double arch, beneath which is the
imperial tablet, large slab, upon which
is CO, sed dragon standing on the back
of gigantic tortoise. The remains of
the emperor are buried somewhere
within this mound, though the exact
spot is not known: this precaution, it
is said, was taken to preserve the re-
mains from being desecrated in search
for the treasures which were buried
with him, while the persons who per-
formed this last office were killed upon
the spot, in order further to preserve
the secret.-LippincoRs MagaziHe.

Scene i'm an Opium Shop.

One who has never visited an opium
shop can have no conception of the fatal
fascination that holds its victims fast
bound-mind, heart, soul, and con-
science, all absolutely dead to every
impulse but the Unsuitable, ever-increas-
ing thirst for the damning poison. I
entered one of these dens but once, but
I can never forget the terrible sights
and sounds of that ''place of torment.
The apartment was spacious, and might
have been pleasant but for its foul odors
and still fouler scenes of unutterable
woe-the footprints of sin trodden deep
in the furrows of those haggard facea
and emaciated forms. Onal four sidea

Curious Watch.

Many years since, a workman in a
French manufactory decided to make a
watch, every part of which, the main
spring alone excepted, should be OF rock
crystal. After thirty years of labor he
accomplished his task. Ali the pieces
of the watch are fastened by rock crys-
tai screws, and the escapement is most
intricate. His widow would never part
with it but when she died the treasure
fell into the hands of q French watch
maker, who intends to exhibit it Is Q
specimen of French workmanship,
pricing it at two thousand dollars. Ger
tainly few articles could possess greater
interest on the score Of ingenuity.

Poetry.
My Violet.
PROM THE OLD CABINET.


violet lay in the grass,
tear in its golden eye;
Aud it said, Alas and alas
The night is over and gone,
Another day is auigh.
And am alone, alone,
There is none TO care If die,
There is none TO be glad that live;
The lovers they pass me by
Aud never a glance they give.
And could love so well, so well,
II one would but iarry and tell
A tale that was told to me only
Ny lover might go his ways.
But through all the nights and the days
/ should never again be lonely.
Then sudden there fell look
Into that violet's heart.
1t lifted its face with start;
1t arose; it trembled and shook.
At last, o at last. 1t cried;
Down dropped its head, and 1t died.
Is God ia HeaceH' is the light
oftie moons. and the stars, and The suns,
His,-or the ErI OHe'sf
Is he cruel, or mad, or rigitf
The Pansy that grew by the wall,
Its heart was heavy with bliss.
In the night it had heard a cal;
II listened, it felt kiss;
Then loving Wind did fall
On its breast, and shiver with glsdness;
The morning brought loves madness
To highland the lover fed.
But the eyes that burned in his head
Shot love through each and all,
For the Pansy that bloomed by the wall
Shone sweet in every place.
In the sky, the earth, and the air.
And that lover saw never the face
OF my dead violet there.

All 0uiet Along the Line.

The kilograms to day show general tendency
towards the restoration OF public confidence,
with q healthy result upon business. The drain
upon the New York banks has ceased, and the
check upon the movement OF grain and cotton
to the seaboard is at an end, and both are now
freely going forward. All dread of Commercial
crash to follow upon the crash in the stock
market has passed away. The stock market Is
revlying slowly. There is q demand for the
more solid stocks already, and when confidence
Is somewhat more fully restored, and when
credits and money circulate more freely it will
not be possible that prices should long remain
from ten TO twenty per cent. below their aver
age for 8 series OF years. When the feverish,
panicky feeling Is fully subdued, the boarded
greenbacks, now stored away in stockings and
the vaults OF safety deposit companies, will
come out again in circulation. and the amount
of currency afOat for business purposes will be
even greater than before the panic, certainly to
the extent of fifteen million dollars. Altogether
the appearances point to the assurance that
we shall soon reach 'hard PAM" and that BUSH
ness will be resumed on a frmer and less specu-
lative basis.

The council Of Governor Davis, of Texas and
Commissioner Smith, of the Indian bureau,
with the Kiowa and Comanche Indians at Fort
Sill, and upon the result of which depends the
retention or release OF Satanta and Big tree,
takes place on Saturday, the 4th instant. 1t is
understood that Governor Davis insists upon
the most absolute guarantees of peace on the
part of the Indians before he will consent to the
release Of the captive chiefs, and that among
other things he will demand that they give up
not only their arms but their horses. The &C.
ton Of the general government in the matter is
simply advisory, as Governor Davis alone has
the power to release Satanic and Big Tree. The
Indians themselves can justly charge the gov
eminent with bad faith in the matter, as the
latter months ago intimated 10 them Governor
Davis concurring in the srrangement) that the
chiefs would be released Just a. soon
as the kiowss and ComAnches returned
capuves and property which they had
stolen within . certain time. The In
dians eagerly embraced this proposition
and made the restitution referred to, even re-
turning considerable property not called for by
the government. Having done this they natu-
rally expected the government to keep its
promise. Governor Davis, however, urged that
additional guarantees should be exacted. and as
the matter was in his own hands the govern
nent was compened 10 laoor unher the imputa-
ton Of having deliberately violated q solemn
compact. Commissioner Smith will be pres
emit ut the council as the representative Of the
government, simply to see that the treaty rights
of the Indians are respected; but a final de-
cision in the matter rests, IS we have stated,
with Governor Davis. As there will be large
gathering OF Indians on the occasion 1t Is hoped
that every precaution will be taken to proven.
any attempt which may be made to rescue the
captive chiefs or to reensct the Candy massa-
ere. 1t may be imagined that under the cir
cumstances the Indians are not in a happy
temper.

What II Needed,

The associated banks Of Washington, DESTROYS
Of effectiDg the same arrangements with the
New York banks that the latter have with
each other, propose to establish connec-
tons with their correspondents there by
putting up approved securities and
clearing through their correspondents, basing
their certificates upon these securities. By
the adoption OF this course, exchanges could
be made without shipping currency from this
city. This is very desirable thing to do, in
view Of the fact that there are probably In the
pockets Of depositors two and half millions of
dollars that three weeks ago were in the
banks of this District, and being used for
the accommodation of the business public.
The great point TO be gained now Is to get cur.
Iency again into circulation, and until that can
be done, certified checks, based upon substan-
tial collateral, must do the work of currency.
1t Is not a matter of solyency, rs every bank in
the Disirict issolvent; and it does not follow
because a bank with a small line of deposits is
able to pay in currency by the sacrifice of its
securities at heavy discount, that it is either
pursuing q wise policy or strengthening itself.
The duty ofthe banks is TO follow the Presi-
dents advice, and accommodate the public. IL
they have not the requisite currency, and can
issue certificates, based upon uuquestIonable
security, which will increase the volume of cir
culation to meet the demands of the hour, 1t Is
their duty to do 80. The president of one of the
largest manufacturing companies of the East,
doing business in New York, who arrived here
to-day, says that the banks of that city yester-
day were discounting freely, paying, however,
checks in currency only TO the extent of q few
hundred dollars; one bank with seventeen
millions in deposits restricting its currency pay
ments on checks to two hundred dollars. II
seems to us, in view of the short time left for
active outdoor business operations this season,
that the adoption Of the policy the New York
banks are pursuing, by all the banks of this Dis
trict would result in great good to the general
Dublic

The New York Tive, says that if everybody
in difficulties could always be sure of securing a
whole fortnight, like the brokers of the Stock
Exchange, in which to square his accounts,
there would probably be very few failures in
the COMMERCIAL world. The brokers drive pref
ty hard bargains with the general public, the
Times says, but they are not obliged to skin
each other. They may not be obliged to skin
each other, but n rule they are quite willing
70 do SO, and nothing but the fact that q gen.
eral smash mp Of their glass-houses was threat
ened on this occasion compelled them to unite
for common safety.
