lowing which III not not without interest, a1,d is

with which we we're all familiar in our ynuth,
but in which, i'll recoilcet ariEht the benefits
wero conferred by different parsonage. Well,
Of course Ferdinand Ill. having been nude u
saint had nothing elgo to dosire, 80 far as l,o
was personally concerned. Even il it bad Eocn

for consideration. As 1t was il tic story be tro,
le bad taken rather q mean advantage Of tho
good nature 0f the Holy Mother, by c1nbodyins,
two demands lie had made, but, being a great
fay3rito at the time, 1t appears TINT tho discrep-

greater strfdes In the direction Of free govern
ment than China under the rule OF Toung-Ich
The extent OF the Empire Ii so that OCCASIONAL
local enleutes are unavoidable, but the Tapping
rebellion has been finally repressed. and
the general peace. Diplomacy usually takes the
place OF an appeal to arms. bright example OF
ing with Japan IN 1874 in regard to the Formosan
war. In all these things the Emperor showed an
Sis rsgn ony one misae Witch ne alter
ward mad cause TO regret. This was the degrade
tion of Prince kung, In September, 1874. This
action grew ont oil the conservative counsel OF
the Prince In regard TO the Formosan war; Peo-
pie who knew thing OF the relations OF Prince
kung to the imperial throne had long predicted
harm to that astute Chinese statesman whenever
the Young Emperor should take the control OF the
TENDER ne was deprived of his hereditary prince
dom and reduced to the rank OF secondary
Prince. TO make ms degradation more complete
son. and ne, TO-. was deprived Of his title. The
reason assigned for this action was that Prince
Kung spoke his mind too freely to the Emperor.
"Wnenever speech has been neld by us with the
Prince OF Kung," said the imperial edct, "hls
conings of decorum." Tnls foolish and puerile
action on the part OF the petulant Son OF Heaven
Pekin. and there is no knowing what would have
been the result had not wiser counsels prevailed.
But the two Expresses Dowager. who knew bet,
the Prince, used their influence with the oflsnded
monarch TO sucn good purpose that the ill-adylsed
Kung and his son were bOtn restored to their
honors aud titles. The Emperor based MS change
OF mind on the Princes previous good services to
the State; but even in rectifying an absurd edict
he committed another absurdity by warn
ing his uncle to behave more carefully
in the future. at benoovcs the Prince" so
runs the imperial command, ito respond to
the desire OF hts sovereign 10 convey sanitary
admonltion, and lOr the future to be more and
more diligent and careful, contributing largely
toward reliel from difficulty and embarrassment
to the end that his trust be worthily discouraged"
Now that the Emperor Is dead this unhappy cpl
sode is all the more to be regretted.
rhe question of the succession Is now the great
point OF interest. According 10 the Pau MdU
Gdzeite'S information II Is not certain who VIII
succeed the deceased EMPEROR while the London
Times reports that the next ruler OF China Is q
prince only five years old. Where this youthful
aspirant to the imperial throne comes from we
are not told. Tue deceased Emperor was only Sly
teen when he was married, and 1T has not been
known that he lett any children by the Empress
Alute. Whether there was q previous empress
mother Is problem. The result, however, canDot
fail to be the return OF Prince KuDg to the Re-
gency, even II he does not succeed TO the throne.
In any event ne will have happy time OF II, sur
rounded as he Is by not fewer than five Expresses
DOwager.
