he was struck in the course of his liter
airy Investigations by the alterations and
corruptions which are gradually being
introduced into the texts of standard
works. He therefore conceived the idea
of reprinting from the most authentic
editions the whole body of Chinese liter
ature then in existence. A commission
of high officials was appointed to select
and classify the texts, and its labors ex-
tended over forty years, terminating in
publication of the work in 1726. For the
purpose of printing it a complete font of
copper type was cast under the direction
of the Jesuits, who probably superin-
tended the printing. Only one hundred
copies were printed, number which has
been much reduced since the time of the
issue by various casualties. The whole
impression was distributed as presents
among the princes of the imperial fam
lily and the great state officials. The type
used in the production of the work is
said to have been melted down shortly
afterward and converted into money to
meet the exigencies of the government
during financial crisis, and in this way
the means of producing second edition
was destroyed. The copies which still
exist are in the hands of the families of
the original recipients, from one of whom
the copy just happily brought to London
has been purchased. So completely
private is the ownership of copies of this
Encyclopedias" in China that no copy is
known to be accessible for reference to

A correspondent informs the London
Times of q romantic incident which has
recently occurred in prosperous Lon
don suburb. A devoted young High
Church curate, of interesting appearance
and great popularity in his district, was
waited upon by young lady of consid-
cradle attractions, but with On air of
deep melancholy and clad in somewhat
ascetic garb. She invited him to her
house and revealed to him fatal secret.
She had conceived q deep, q passionate
love for the curate himself. She knew,
she said, that her passion was hopeless;
he, in his devotion to the church, for
vowed himself to life of celibacy, and
she would carry her attachment to the
grave, which she felt was not far of.
But there was one kindness which it was
in his power to grant her, the remem-
brance of which would bring consolation
to her dark and weary path. Would he,
before they parted forever, give her one
kiss? After some timidity and agitation
the young curate, touched with pity COM
piled. The lady shed another tear, babe
him adieu in hollow voice, aud he de-
parted. A few days afterward he re-
ceived q neat little parcel, gracefully
tied with piece of blue ribbon, and on
opening it found an instantaneous phot-
ograph cabinet size) Of himself kissing
the yonng lady. Accompanying this
was q communication from the fair crea-
ture herself that there were eleven more
copies and that he might have the whole
dozen at EGO apiece. Should he not be
in want of them it was her intention to
dispose Of them in another quarter. Ne

The Great Encyclopedia.

The celebrated "Chinese Encyclope-
dia, which was purchased some months
ago by the trustees of the British
Museum for fifteen hundred pounds
sterling. has been safely lodged in that
institution. 1t forms the most important
acquisition to the great national library
which has been made for some time past.
The work is remarkable as having no
parallel to it in extent in the literature
of other countries. 1t is comprised in
five thousand and twenty volumes, and
consists of vast thesaurus, into which
is digested the entire mass OF Chinese
literature extant at the date Of it's publ
cation, classified under appropriate head
ings, and accompanied with illustrative
drawings, plans and maps. II includes
treatises ranging from 1l50 B. c.. to
about the year 100 Of our era, and il

The Philadelphia Press has been
specializing upon how the great west
could be benefited by slashing a cor
ner off Of this territory and adding 1t
to that, and by dividing another and 80
on. 1t says: ''Senator Vest proposes
TO enlarge Yellowstone Park to s,975
svuare miles and make 1t a portion OF
Montana territory. At present 1t is q
part Of three territories, Montana, Ida
no and Wyoming, but much the greater
portion of 1t is in Wyoming, The
parks present area Is 1878 square
miles, being hifty-Hve miles east and
west by sixty-hvs north and south.
Vests bill proposes to extend its east
ern and southern limits each way forty
miles, which would make the park q
little larger than the state of Vermont.
To take this great area out Of the north
west corner of Wyoming will destroy
the symmetry Of that territory, now of
very good size and shape for q state, to
increase the area of the oyergrown ter
ritory of Montana. 1t would be much
better to extend the authority of Wyo-
ming over the narrow strips of the Ma
tionsl park which lap over into the
neighboring territories. Montana
would be better divided than enlarged.
The portion directly north of Wyoming
would make a good sized, well shaped
territory by itself, while the remainder
Of -Montana, consolidated with the tri-
angular territory Of Idaho, would make
q new t%erritory, homogeneous in inter-
ests, and well adapted for a future
state. y
