rqr DRY.RoT OF THE TINE.

II is very painful intelligence which we have
IN print this morning about the late EtheiOert
s. Mills The man was personally so popular
his character in the past has been held IN such
high esteem, and his prominence IN art anu
social circles in Brooklyn was so honorable, that
n large class of people will be grieved at the
information that he seems defaulter 10 a
heavy amount, and that there are even sus-
picions that he ended life suicide. The last
charge against his character as o Christian
gentleman may prove to be false; there IS
unhappily no doubt that for years he has been
undermining the financial institution he was
set to guard
The circumstances of Mr.. Millss death were
singular enough to excite the suspicious OF
suicide, for he was strong swimmer, lost on
a comparatively secure beach. An examina-
ton of his clothing and an inquiry into the
facts of his death for time dispeiled this
theory of suicide, but the facts OF his great
embarrassment revive it; and some of his
best friends now admit that if he did not
deliberately. take his life he probably made
little effort to save himself when he found the
tide was carrying him beyond his depth.
The facts of his pecunary condition are
related in detail elsewhere, on information
given by the Directors of the Trust Company
of which Mr.. Mills was President. Briefly,
his personal account appears TO have been
oyerdrawn more than 100000 all of which is
unsecured. He has loaned 100000 on almost
valueless securities, which have not palu
interest in years. The surplus OF the Com
pany has thus been swept away and its capital
has been impaired about so per cent. This
much has already been developed; what more
remains undiscovered only time can tell; but
the present Directors and the new President
appear sanguine that the Company will not be
| fatally embarrassed.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1873-07-19

advantages at small cost, no substantial pro-
gross was made toward such q solution OF dill
aculties as seemed to be only attainable
through personal audience with the Emperor
The Russian Government, then represented by
Count Putiatine, united with the American
Minister in q series of negotiations which
were productive of the happiest results. But
the notable concessions then wrung from the
Inundated Imperial Government could not IN
clude any solution of the audience question.
For the ceremonial and its discussion soon
rose to the dignity Of an international dis-
pute. We wanted trade, commerce, Tree inter-
course on equal terms with China. We were
mt off on various pretexts; and while 1t was
and is still doubtful if the Emperor really
signed ono Of the most important treaties OF
modern times, foreign diplomats were not
permitted to approach that high and mighty
dignitary. If Ministers of the United States
and European Governments would consent to
perform the kow-tow, which consists of
lneeings and Notwithstanding on the
floor innumerable, they might be permitted to
enter the Presence. This was, of course, out
of the question and the whole matter has
been held in allegiance during these many years
of the present Emperor's minority. The
young man has come of age; the gossips
say he has been long kept in leading-strlngs
by crafty Prince Kung, in order to staye OIL
this embarrassing question. He has married
the regiment of wives prescribed by long
established usage; and, wonderful to tell, he
has calmly solved the audience question by
giving audience to the foreign ambassadors,
just as any other sensible and weu-bred
sovereign might.
Now we want revision of existing treaties,
unrestricted commerce, permission to open
mines, and many other things which we are
not likely to get in trice. The dispatches
say that the imperial edict granting the audi
ence of June % is considered insulting. Stripped
of its high-sounding oriental verblage, 1t
doubtless reads something like this: Let the
"mistrable foreign devils approach" But
this would be q concession to native pre-
iudices, perhaps, rather than studied in
suit. SO far as any of the doings of the aw-
full Son of Heaven are known he has proved
himself an easy-tcmpered young man of more
liberal tendencies than any of his predeces-
sors. He has done a great thing in granting
an audience which may destroy forever his
divine prestige with his subjects. China can
not 90 back, whatever the young Emperor
NAV do; and the ancient Empire reluctantly
moves iutO the current Of modern civilization.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1873-07-19
MORE PROGRESS IN TIE ORIENT

Cable, dispatches give us q brief account
of the audience granted to the diplomatic
body at Pekin by the Emperor of China.
Bald as this narration is, it is the record Of
an important event in modern history; and
its meager details only serve to pique curl
osity. The Emperor Of China claims divine
descent, and exacts divine honors from his
subjects. It is difficult for an outside bar
"barian" to appreciate the abasement in which
the Chinese subject, whether Of high or
low degree, approaches the insignia and en-
blems of imperial power. The Emperor is the
Son of Heaven, the Supreme Ruler, the Soil
tary Man. Even the King of Kings, OF Shah
of Persia, in his widest flight of ambition,
never dreams of arrogating to himself such
honors, qualities and powers as the Emperor
of China. His person is sacred, and nothing
that he has once touched or used can be
handled by mortal men; even the dishes of
which he eats must be destroyed !;
and the iDfrequent clippings of his
finger-nails are holy. 81 When he dies
Gas we should say, he is said to have re-
turned to his ancestral mansions; being i'm
mortal and divine, nc has no mortuary re-
mains. When his name is written in a Chi
nese document, in which the lines are always
vertical, the line is broken in its descent iand
his sacred title is placed several spaces above
all other writing, at tue top Of a new column
of characters. No language can adequately
describe the enormous pretensions of this SUI
premely arrogant ruler; nor can we undertake
to gauge the veneratiOn with which his people
regard this young Manchu prince who is
hailed as Lord of the Earth and Son of
Heaven.
How shall the representatives of Western
governments, who are only mere men at their
best estate, be permitted TO see this vice
gerent of Heaven and livc1 For centuries
there has been a persistent knocking at the
gate of the Imperial Palace. But, though
more than one Emperor has been forced to
flee before domestic or foreign foes, the sacred
Gordon about the Dragon Throne has been
practically unbroken. Great Britain has re-
peatedly bOmbarded the principal cities of the
Empire; and, in 1853, the civilized nations Of
the world made common cause against state
OF affairs which was the legitimate outcome of
this destructive and exclusive policy. But.
although under the wise management of tho
Hon William b. Reed, then United States
Minister - China, this Republic secured large

"tbat they were near each other, with
"out the gate and near the city, in q
"frequented spot" and though no does not
venture TO fix the spot himself, he describes
IFS situation in language which strongly con-
firms the theory of Mr.. Howe, such a spot
would only be found upon the western or
northern sides OF the city, on the roads
"leading toward Joppa or Damascus" 1t was
a place always much sought for by the ancient
Jewish nobility for gardens and graves. Tho
whole Of the region about the source Of tho
KidroW is filed with excavated tOmbs which
date back to the earliest times.
The labOrs now in progress in Palestine ara
Of incaculable benefit in establishing tho
truth Of disputed passages Of sacred history,
and in placing in the light Of demonstration
those facts which have been hitherto supposed
to rest merely upon faith. Already they have
greatly modified the science of Scriptural ex-
egess. Tradition and conjecture are of very
little use when the engineer stands ready with
his pickax and plumb-line to reduce TO
nothing in days work the hborious struc-
ture of years of mere study. 1t was for
long time said by skepdcs that tho
Bible accounts of the glories Of Jerusalem
were mere Pigments Of Oriental imagination.
But the colossal remains Of hewn stone found
by the English explorers under the soil of
Jerusalem have fully justified the most
extreme statements of Hebrew chroniclers. 1t
is a good work from every point Of view, and
we are glad that one Of our citizens has borne
a part SO honorable and important in eluci-
dating one of the most interesting and mo-
mentous questions connected with the tragedy
Of Redemption.

smaller barks, diversified it with growl, con-
tracted it, prolonged it, tried it on different
keys, and for the rest Of the night gave
his whole mind to it, shedding it, as
Mr.. Matt Carpenter does his money, on the
lust and on the unjust. To the scholarly
mind at midnight oven the transient serenade
of the bibulOus has its exasperations. What
then, must have been the effect upon this emil
nent philologist of the midnight latrations of
Fernando Woods yellow dogY Picture the
sage at his open window with the raised boot
jack, forgetting the afluence Of his resources
in all languages living and dead, addressing
Fernando Woods yellow dog in the simple,
energetic eloquence of profane! This was
no Geneva arbitration, no dusty tussle with
| Sir Alexander COckbuTn. Here was Cushing
there was the dog--hights and distances and
a door-yard fence interviewed, and though boots
and bootjacks, and the folios of a statesman'5
library, and frequent sulphurOus CALCULATIONS
filled all the ambient air, the aim of the great
publcist had not improved with age, and the
dog, lying perdu, howled on. 1t must have
been a rude surprise to Fernando Woods
yellow dog, familiar as he is with re-
cent legislation, to have had the Message
and Accompanying Documents, the Patent-Oiiice
Report, the Agricultural Reports, the Ninth
Census and The Congressional Globe delivered
to him in that rapid and somewhat unusual
manner. Could his answering howl to the irate
statesman be translated, doubtless he reminded
him that the frankng privilege had been
abolished, and that this was in violation of
law as well as against the peace. Imagine
then the late antagonist of Lord Cockburn
making replication with Vattel and Puifendot
and Wheaton, and other vOluminOus authon-
ties, til Fernando Woods door-yard was knee
deep in international law But the contest was
unequal. The dog knew no more law than
necessity, and had no more regard for Drece-
dent than John l. Davenport hOwled he still,
and the night wore on.
Next morning Fernando Woods yellow
dog was summoned into the Police Court,
and undertook to mas,icate the policeman
who served the warrant. Mr. Cushing de-
manded $4,000 damages; which, under the cir
cumstances, was little enough. And the Court
ordered that the dog be killed or removed, and
that S25 be deposited as security that it should
be done. Possibly by this time The canine
procession that moves toward that mysterious
realm whence issues the American sausage has
been enlarged by one yellow dog, lately the
property of che Hon. Fernando Wood, and the
nights of Mr.. Caleb Cushing are no longer
! filed with music, or his neighbours yard with
| boot-iacks,
