Street Life in Pekin.

TT is scarcely possible to imagine, with
Il out having witnessed it, the scene
which the commercial streets of Pekin
exhibit every day. The busy, bustling
crowd, the horses, mules, carriages,
hand barrows and sedan chairs, all
mixed in inextricable confusion, and
among them the itinerant dealers, some
with hampers containing the stock in
trade suspended round their necks, the
other standing before portable stoves, on
which they cook the viands they vend.
These and many others are to be seen in
the streets, not silently offering their
wares, but endeavoring to attract the
attention of possible buyers by shrill
and piercing cries and loudly vaunting
the low price and superior quality of
the commodities.
The barber with his little bell sum-
mons all who have not performed their

toilets to be shaved in the open air. He
motions his customers to low seat,
with one turn of the hand fathers his
head, and deterously performs with his
triangular razor; he then paints his eye
brows and adjusts his queue, brushes
his garment, and, receiving small
fee, sends him away satisfied.
Often a crowd collects to listen to a
story-teller or singer, to watch the
tricks of a conjurer, or to hear of the
marvellous properties possessed by GER
tain drugs and remedies sold by q To-
quaclous quack, but suddenly there is a
stir among the assemblage, which
hurriedly disperses or draws to one side,
leaving room for the passage of some
grandee, who, seated In his chair and
surrounded by numerous cortega ex-
poets all interiors to make way at his
presence.
Guards of soldiers are stationed, day
and night, in the principal thorough
fares, with strict orders to use their
whips upon all, without distiction who
are disorderly or betray the slightest in
clination to quarrel. Beside this every
street is divided into sections of ten
houses, which are each under the sur
veillance of one of the inhabitants de-
puted by the authorities to fill the office
of tithing man.
AS soon as night falls, each house
holder, be he rich or poor, mandarin or
mechanic, must light the lantern which
stands at his door. At both ends of
each street there is wooden barrier
which is closed at dark, and sentries
posted at these barries will permit of
neither ingress nor egress unless the
applicant carries lantern and can
show good cause for his absence from
home.
Watchmen patrol the streets during
the entire night, who instead of call
ing the hour, show their vigilance by
striking tube of bamboo every few
minutes, causing dull, hollow sound,
which it takes Europeans some time to
become accustomed to and sleep
through.

it has the merit of being true. The
young gentleman is well known in
social circles and his modesty is the
only reason why we withhold his

A Divorce, Marriage and a Death all in
Three Hours.

A FEW months ago Henry Chan
IA ming Beals brought suit in the
Nineteeth District Court for divorce
from his wife, Mary e. w. Beals. Pend,
ing the decision in the case, Mrs. Beals
brought counter suit in the same court
against Mr. Beals for alimony without
divorce, which suit was denied by Judge
Wheeler, as set forth in the history of
the case, published at that time in the
CAL. On Friday afternoon last the re-
port of the referee in the case of Henry
Charming Beals agt Mary E. w. Beals
was Submitted and placed on file. Sub
sequently Judge Wheeler, hearing that
the defendant was quite ill, and sinking
rapidly, examined the papers, and
granted HI. Charming Beals decree of
divorce on the grounds as prayed for in
the complaint, and permitted the de-
fendant to resume her maiden name
Mary Eliza Ward. An additional chap
ter in this sad family history was told
by the papers as follows:
MARRIED.

Oct 4, B. Gardiner to Mary e. Ward.

GARDINER In this city, Oct. A, of
Bright's disease of the kidneys, Mary

are res pectfully invited to attend the
funeral tomorrow Sunday, at Q o'clock

first part mentioned in the first notice,

by Mr. Beals, to his house when but

family. AS he reached the age of man.
hood, it is averred that he entered into
such relations with Mrs. Beals that the
two were elected from the house of the
husband, together with the two children
of Mrs. Beals. Mrs. Beals and her two
children took up their residence at the
house of Mr.. GARDENERS mother, 1920
Eddy street, and shortly afterward she
was taken seriously ill. Her malady
growing rapidly worse, and her great
solicitation for the future social standing
of her two children, caused Judge
Wheeler, when the facts of the case
were laid before him at P. M. on Fri
day, to Immediately grant the divorce
as prayed for by Mr.. Beals. AT P. M.
of the same day Mrs. Beals, then Mary
Eliza Ward, was married to Baldwin
Gardiner, and one hour and half
later, or at half past P. M, she was
no more, having amid great suffering
passed away.

WHAT THEY COUNSEL.

SOME of the Greenbsck politicians
are counseling Democrats who are sup
posed to be Indifferent towards their
own county ticket, to vote the Green
back ticket, as the surest way Of de-
feating the ring ticket. They make
special appeals in this way in favor of
their candidates for Treasurer and
Prothonotary, saying that every Dem
ocratic vote cast for Egolf and Cullen
viii be one vote off of Kirk and Rey
nolds, thus increasing the chances for
the election of Lemon and Wagner,
the Republican candidates, and there
by securing the defeat of the Court
House ring. This is very fine ar
gument in favor of the Greenback
candidates. to secure them a respec-
table vote; but its fallacy, SO far as
the result claimed to be aimed at is
concerned, is too palpable to deceive
anybody. If there are any Demo
Gratis who really desire the defeat of
the ring tickets (and we have good
reasons to believe there are many
such) their shortest way to that end
is to vote for the Republican candi-
dates direct. In that way, every such
vote counts two against the ring,
while by voting for the Greenback
candidates i only counts one, and
the voter throws away his ballot
The inconsistency of the argument
is so plain as to be ridiculous.
But while some argue in that way,
others go further, and make special
plea against our candidate for Pro
thonotary, (Mr. Wagner,) and ask
Democrats and Republicans to vote
for their man, Cullen, who. they urge.
is an old citizen, while Mr.. Wagner
is young and inexperienced-a mere
boy, incompetent to properly dis
charge the duties of the Office. This,
we submit to our Greenback friends,
is unfair electioneering, and incon-
sistent with their professions. Ii
they really desire to see the iniqui-
tous and corrupt Court House ring,
known to exist In this county, effect
ually broken up and destroyed. they
should join hands heartily with their
Republican allies, and help to do it.
They would certainly accomplish
more in that way, and make more
for themselves, than by throwing
away their votes on candidates whom
they know haven't a ghost of chance
for election. Let them show their
strength and express their sentiments
in a way that Will be of some signifi-
cance, by voting for their State tick
ct, if they will; but let them at the
same time so vote in county matters
as that their votes will count for some
thing in curing the local evils of
which they, in common with the
masses of the people of Juniata to-
day, complain.

Dr.. Banks, the candidate for the Leg
