Street Life in PsHn.

1t is scarcely possible to imagine,
without 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 h: mpers, containing their stock-in-
trade, suspended around their necks,
others standing before portable stoves,
on which they cook the Viands they
vend. These and many others are to be
seen in the street, not silently offering
their wares, but endeavoring to attract
the attention of possible buyers, by
shrill, ear-piercing cries, and loudly
vaunting the low price and superior
quality of the commodities. 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 a low seat, with one turn
of the hand lathers his head, and dexter
ously performs with his triangular razor,
he then paints his eyebrows and adjusts
his queue, brushes his garments, and, re-
ceiVing a small fee, sends him away sat
isfied.
Often a crowd collects to listen to a
story-telier, or a singer, to watch the
tricks of a conjuror, or to hear Of the
marvellous properties possessed by GER
tain drugs and medicines sold by 10
quacious quack but suddenly there is a
stir amongst the assemblage, which en-
tirely disperses or draws to one side,
leaving room for the passage of some
grandee, who, seated IN his chair and
ouYrorDJnd NV q 1,I1TonrOuS oOrfaOo ny-
poets all interiors to make way at his
presence. Guards of soldiers are sta
toned day and night on the principal
thorOughfares, with strict orders to use
their whips on all, without distinction,
who are disorderly or betray the slight
est inclination to quarrel. Besides this,
every street is divided into sections of
ten houses, which are under the surveil-
lance of one of the inhabitants, deputed
by the authorities to fill the office of
tithing-man.
AS soon as night falls, each house
keeper, rich or poor, mandarin or me-
chanic, must light the lantern which
stands at his door. At both ends of the
street there is a wooden barrier which
is closed at dark, and sentries posted at
these barriers will permit of neither in
gress nor egress unless the applicant can
show good cause for his absence from
home. Watchmen patrol the streets
during the whole night who, instead of
crying 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 accustomed to and sleep soundly

of PLATE, etc.-which had been adduced
in support, has been proved forgery.
Next the real history of the portrait
does, singularly enough, not begin until
7O5, when Pope John VII. suddenly saw
fit to declare that he really was in pos
session of the cloth. And finally, how
strange is this history. While the pope
claimed that the genuine cloth was i'll
the church of St. Maria MaggioTe in
Rome, other authorities claimed, Oh
equally good grounds, that it was i'll
Milan, and still others that it was i'll
Taen, in Spain. What does this Curl
GUS tendency of multiplication mean,
exhibited by ali the "only true" portraits
of Christ, when in the hands of the
Roman Catholic priests? This time,
however, the pope seems TO have found
it expedient to yield, as far as he could
Weld without losing anything. lie
partly withdrew his cloth. 1t Is now
preserved in the church of st. Peter, and
is shown only to royal persons who en-
ter, under oath, as titular officials OF that
church and pay an enormous fee. Then
there is one more curious feature about
this whole affair. Eusebius calls the
lady Bernice, the Roman legend calls
her Veronica. But the Latin writers,
I'D to the thirteenth century, apply the
name Veronica not only to the original
possessor of the portrait, but also to the
portrait itself; and what should it mean
10 call a portrait of Christ Veronica
Perhaps it means, as William Grimes
explains it, that the name Veronica Is
nothing but a corrupted pronunciation
of TeTalcon (eikon,) "the true likeness"
and that the whole Veronica legend is
nothing but a confused and corrupted
version of the story of Abgarus.
The third and last portrait of Christ
is not surrounded with so many perplex-
tiles as the two preceding; it is a simple
fraud. One day, just as the contest be-
tween the two Abgarus portraits in
Genoa and Rome was going on, Lauren
titus Valea, found on a leaf-slip a man.
uscript of the works of Anselm of Can
terbury, letter giving a minute descrip-
ton Of the appearance of Christ, and
pretending to have been written in the
days Of Christ by a Roman official, Len
tulus, TO the Roman senate. But the
letter was written in very bad Latin,
containing expressions and phrases
which no Roman of the first century
could have used; and as the letter is ad-
dressed to the senate, though, at that
time, all letters from Roman officials to
the central government should be ad-
dressed to the emperor, Laurentius
Valea simply declared the letter fraud.
