| It Is scarcely possible tc imagine, with.
out having Witnessed it, the scene which
the commercial streets Of PekiD exhibit
every day. The busy, bustling crowd, the
horses, mules, carriages, hand barrows and
sedan chairs, all mixed in inextricable con-
fusion, and among them the itinerant
, dealers, some with hampers containing the
stock in trade suspended round their necks,
the others 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 at
tention of possible buyers by shrill and
piercing cries and loudly Wanting the low
price and superior quality of the COM
modities.
The barber with his little bell summons
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 lathers his head, and deterous-
ly performs with his triangular razor; he
then paints his eyebrows and adjusts
bis queue, brushes his garment, aud, re-
ceiving small fee, sends him away sat
isfed.
Often crowd collects to listen to q
story-teller or singer, to watch tue tricks
of conjurer, or to hear of the marvellous
properties possessed by certain drugs and
remedies sold by a loquacious quack, but
suddenly there is stir among the assem-.
blage, which hurriedly diSperses or draws
to one side, leaving room for the passage
of some grandee, who, seated in his chair
and surrounded by d numerous cortege, ex-
poets all interiors to make way at his pres
ence.
Guards of soldiers are stationed, day and
night, in the principal thoroughfares, with
strict ort.ers to use their whips upon all
without distinction, who are disorderly or
betray the slightest inclination to quarrel.
Beside this every street is divided into
sections of ten houses, which are each
under tie surveillance of one of the in
habitants deputed by the authorities to fill
the Office of tithing nun.
As soon as night falls, each householder,
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
\ a wooden barrier which is closed at dark,
and sentries posted at these barriers 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 Carrying the
hour, show their vigilance by striking a
tube of bamboo every few minutes, causing
a dull, hollow sound, which it takes
Europeans some time to become accus.
toned to and sleep through. - WorceSte,

In the struggle for other places let not
the Republican Convention overlook the
importance Of the duty of selecting can
didates for the two Common Pleas Judge
ships. There is no part of the ticket of
greater importance to the people of the
county, and none where there is better
opportunity for giving strength and char
acter to the whole. The people demand
that their Judges shall be men Of expert
ence, character and legal ability. There
is still left a good deal of the old-timc
reverence for the Bench, and this, with
the demand for Courts above the din and
rabble Of political strife, makes the peo
pie feel repulsion for candidate whose
nomination is brought about by any Of
the corrupt ways known to politica
tricksters. There have been some move
ments Of this kind in the past, a repeti
ton of which will not be tolerated. The
party and the people ask for the nomina
ton for Judges Of men whose character
are above the shadow of suspicion, who's
experience and fitness for the Bench ar
acknowledged by both the Bar and th
public, and, above all, they ask that thes
nominations be free from even the insin
uation of being brought about by corrup
means of any kind.
