Of this class has been known to bring
about the peremptory dismissal Of a
couple of cabinet ministers, yet the
Shanghai Celestial Empire gives pub
licity to the following strange story.
1t would appear that the first person
in Pekin who caught sight Of the
great comet that became visible in the
Chinese capital last October was the
minister of foreign affairs, Li-hong-
tsang. AS his cxccllency, towards
midnight, was strolling homeward
from tho palace, where he had been re-
ceiyed in late audience by his imperial
master, the comet suddenly met his
eye. He at once hurried back to in
form the emperor that a divine envoy,
the bearer Of evil tidings. had just
appeared in the heavens. This alarm
ing announcement caused his majesty
to quiycr yisibly from head TO foot, and
toscnd for the court astologcrs without
IN lnstant's loss of time. These saga
cious functionarics, upon being asked
by their sovereign, what this lulni-
nous apparition in the sky might

tionably intended to convey to his
majesty a strong sense Of the dis
approval with which the gods regarded
the ministers Of justice and public
worship. This explanation Of the
celestial phenomenon recommending
itself to the emperor, he forthwith
gave orders that two decrecs, sentcnc-

missed from their Offices and hanishcd
