A Chinese Love Story.

| The following love story, which is contained in
an application made by the Governor of Heanan.
appears in the Pekin Gazette: GA young gradu.
ate named Hwang Shih-tsun was betrothed to a
| girl, the daughter Of one Hung Yueh lang, who
| from her earliest childhood had manifested an
untring readiness to listen to narratives Of self
sacrificing devotion Her parents la wing died in
1869, when she was but eleven years of age, she
was taken into the family of her betrothed being
otherwise unprovided Tor, and gained by her fiai
conduct the entire affection of her adopt ted grand
parents and parents.
Last year the betrothed bridegroom fell ill and
died after four months illness, during which
time he was nursed most assduously by the
young 81 and bis mother. She chung after his
decease to his remains, declaring in her grief
that she would no longer live: but her parents
by adoption, touched with pity for her young
years, she being not yet fifteen years old, babe
her not put on mourning, and wonld have be-
trothed her to some other husband. She de-
clared, however, that having entered the family
OF Hwang, she would not be Justified in CON
Guiding another marriage, and. cutting off lock
of her hair she laid it in the de easeds coffin in
token Of her resolve.
After this she swooned away repea teddy In
admiration and wonder the relatives allowed her
accordingly put on the widows garb, and at
tended the placing of deceasec's tablet in the
ancestral temple, being thus admitted as bride |
to the presence Of his foretathers. She thus de-
voted herself to new welded life, awaiting the |
time when she shall adopt an heir for the de- |
parted one. The Governor extols, in set phrase |
)logy, the yirtuous devotion of the Young lady in |
question, the same having been duly attested |

Usual manner. A memorial tablet was au-

Landamlet Williams.
GCbicaco Times I

Attorney General Williams confessed to the
Committee on Alabama Affairs that he sent
troops into that State previous to the last cleo
ton on his own responsibility, without consult
ing the Governor of the State or any one else
empowered to call upon the governor for troops.
There was instruction or other disturbance
in Alabama that warranted the employment of
troops there, and Of course, there was no consti-
tutional warrant for Wlliams's action.
But of course the law officer Of Mr.. Grants
administration is superior to the Constitution,
and should not be expected to obey its proy-
sions. Congress ordinarily would make an ex-
ample of men who thus defy the fundamental
law Of the land, but IN this instance promotion in
Office is the only punishment that Williams may
fear. 1t is pity that this fellows aspirations to
the Chief Justiceship of the nation was not graft
fed. He would have made a judge after Grants
own heart.

We have seen Henry Ward Beecher's efiigy al
the wax-works, where he is introduced to the
public as the gifted and eloquent (eloquence il
evidently not gift, or else Tussaud rhetoric i.
liable to charge Of tautology) American divine
brother to the author Of Uncle Toms Cabin,
and the principal character in q recent great
scandal" This figure looks like Daniel Lam
bert in the middle stages Of development of
adipose; its head is grand enough to have been
modelled after ali ideal of Homers head; while
the face, if Homeric, must have been wrought
out from an inspiration Of Homer at time when
Homer nodded with the supor Of q too abundant
feast upon the honey of Hymettus.
1t is stupid, silly, almost imbecile face bear
ing slight resemblance, not in mbecility, but in
feature, to Mr.. Beecher as he was some years
ago, but only as slight one as the figures of
Henry Wits six wives (Which stand not far away
gathered about their uxorcidal lord like pail
bearers around hearse) probably bear to their
originals. Mr.. Beechers fame does not seem to
have echoed like thunder or flashed like light
ming over the sea, for, standing before this ira
vesty of his face and figure, we overhear COM
ments and questions that imply density Of
ignorance concerning both the brother OF the

While the parties in interest seem to be
having a good time in court, with hand
shaking, interchange of salutations, and an
occasional burst of laughter, there are many
homes in and around New York that are filled
with dismay while the trial goes on. In one
Of the wealthiest homes on Murray Hill there
is young lady nearly crazed with the Incl
dental mention of her name in connection
with this case. She is very talented, beauti-
full, the idol of her home and her friends.
She took a deep interest in the woman ques-
| ton In its early stages more from the i'm
pulse OF benevolent nature than from the
desire to be prominent. She thought there
ought to be some opening for women who
had brains and talent and in this movement
she thought she saw some chance to elevate
her sex. She had no idea where this thing
would drift, nor what sentiments would be
agitated under the pretense of elevating
women. She got out Of the company as soon
as possible, but having touched pitch she was
detiled. The thoughtless use of her name in
court has filled her with terror, and she
weeps day and night lest the threat be carried
out Of putting her on the stand.

The famous four-miler Thad Stevens was sold
at auction in san Francisco last week for the
moderate sum Of sll00. His history has been al
broken to harness, and uscd as a road horse for
some time, and could trot in $40. He did not
gain much fame until he was five Or six years
old, since which time his victories have been
numerous. In race at Sacramento, milo heats,
three IN five, with Nell Flaherty, Thornhill and
others, he made the fastest time ever recorded in
third heat-1:43l9. At Oakland in 1873, in
four mile-and-repeat race, his record OF 7:3O is
the fastest second heat ever made. His four
mlle-and-repeat race when he defeated Joe Dan
iels and True Blue, showed him to be horse Of
remarkable power and endurance, as he had to
run sixteen miles before victory perched on his
banner At one time Ihad could have been sold
for $4,000 or Sl500O but since his defeat by
Katie Pease last year, it was plain to be seen his
running DAYS We're over, and consequently his
value has decreased. He will probably now he
kept exclusively for breeding purposes.
