The Emperor Of China.

The ruler of the 250,OOO,OOO, of
which the Chinese nation probably
consists, is now within five years of
his majority, and is an occupant, while
yet minor, of the same apartments in
which lived the Emperor who pre-
ceded him on the dragon throne.
There he eats with gold-tipped chop
sticks of ivory; there he sleeps on a
large Ningpo bedstead, richly carved
and ornamented with ivory and gold,
the same on which the noble.minded
Emperors Kang Hsi and Chen Lung
used to recline after the days fatigue
last century and the century before.
Like one of those living Buddhas who
may be seen in a lamasery on the Mon
golian plateau, he is knelt to by all his
attendants, and honored as a god.
There is this difference, that the re-
spect felt for him is more profound
than for them. The seclusion IN which
he is kept also is far more complete.
The building in which the Emperor
resides is called Yang Hsin Tien, and
IS a little to the west of the Ch'ien
Ching Meu in the middle of the pal
ace. AT the back of the central gate,
on the south side, is the great recep-
ton hall. When ministers of state
and others enter for an audience a..
four, five, or six in the morning, &C
cording to custom, they have to go on
foot to the centre of the palace, over
half a mile, if they enter by the east or
west gate, and when they get on in
years they can appreciate the Emper-
ors favor, which then by decree al
lows them to be borne in a chair in.
stead of walking.
The rooms of the Emperor consist OF
seven compartments. They are pro.
vided with the divan of k'ang, the pc.
culiar institution Of North China The
Hangs are covered with red felt of ma.
tive manufacture, and the floor with
European carpets. The cushions all
have embroidered on them the dragon
and the ph9nix. Pretty things scat.
tered through the rooms are endless in
variety, and are changed in accordance
with any wish expressed by the EN-
peror. The rooms are in all thirty
yards long by from eight to nine yard
deep, and are divided into three sepa
rate apartments, the throne room beins
the middle one. Folding doors tel
feet in height open into ea;h of thes,
apartments to the north and south il
the centre of each.
The pillars shine with fresh vermil
lion, both within the rooms and on tn
steps outside, and are decorated wit
sculptnred work, partly gilt and partl
vanished, The Hoppe, who lately re
turned from Canton, gave the Empero
a present valued at $4,000 1t cor
sisted of chandeliers, holding 500 wa
candles each. His majesty has ais
some electrical machines and number
less foreign curiosities.

Sing a Song of Slxpense.

You all know this rhyme but have
you ever read what it is meant for?
The four-and-twenty blackbirds re-
present the twenty-four hours. The
bottom of the pie is the world, while
the top crust is the sky that over-arches
it. The opening of the pie is the day
dawn, when the birds began to sing,
and surely such sight is fit for a king.
The king, who is represented as sit
ting in his parlor counting out his mon
ey, is the sun, while the gold-pieces
that slip through his fingers as he
counts them are the golden sunshine.
The queen, who sits in the dark
kitchen, is the moon, and the honey,
with which she regales herself, is the
moonlight.
The industrious maid who is in the
garden at work before the king-the
sun has risen, is the day dawn, and
the clothes she hangs out are the clouds,
while the bird, who so tragically ends
the song by ''nipping off her nose," is
the hour of sunset SO we have the
whole day, if not in nutshell, in a pie.

The Origin of the Potato.

The potato, originally South Ame-
rican plant, was introduced to Virginia
by Sir John Harvey in 1929, though it
was unknown to some counties of
England hundred and fifty years
later. In Pennsylvania, potatoes are
mentioned soon after the advent of the
Quakers they We're not among New
York products in 1906, but in l775 we
are told of eleven thousand bushels
grown on one sixteen acre patch in
this province. Potatoes were served
perhaps as an exotic rarity, at a Har-
ward installation dinner in 1907 but
the plant was only brought into cul-
ture in New England at the arrival of
the Presbyterian immigrants from Ire
land in IT'S. Five bushels were: acc cunt
ed large crop of potatoes for a Connec-
ticut farmer for it was held that, if
man ate them every day, he could
not live beyond seven years

SENATOR a!lsa! 7. !1Mvl.s.
vICE-PREsIDENT PRO TEN.
OR TO SENATOR ANTHONY, REFLECTS
MIR. EDMUNDs PRESIDENT PRO TEN.


Geo. F. Edmunds, the subject of our
sketch this week, was reelected as Pre-
sident Pro Tenn of the Senate on the
| fourteenth inst, after Senator Anthony
of Rhode Island had been elected and
had declined because of continued i'll
health.
Mr. Edmunds, of Burlington, was
born at Richmond, Vermont, February
/, 1928 His education consisted only
of that afforded by the public schools,
after graduating from which he began
the study of law aud at an early age
became practitioner of considerable
ability. He soon drifted into politics,
and successfully, as he was elected a
member of the Vermont Legislature In
1854, '55, Sc, 81, SO and SO, serving
three years as Speaker. He was then
elevated to the State Senate and was
its Presiding officer pro tenapore, in
1861 and '62. Soon after this Hon.
Solomon Foote, one of the U. S. SEN
ators from Vermont died and Mr.. Ed
munds was appointed to fill the va
cancy and he took his seat April 5,
1866.
Mr.. Edmunds has since been contin-
ued in the Senate, his present term,
which expires March 3rd, 1887 being
his fourth election. He was mem
ber of the Electoral Commissioner of
1876, and was first elected President
Pro Tenn of the Senate Immediately
after the resignation of David Davis,
last year.
Senator Edmunds is fine Parlimen-
tartan, his rulings while in the chair
being unbiased by any political pre-
ferences he may entertain as Repub-
licau. He is well liked by all Sena-
tors, and graces his position with all
the dignity and ability becoming the
Vice President of the United States.

And heard this syllable-sweet and low
From her rose. red mouth, 'twas-"Yes "

Now, standing in this place
I can smell the rose she hath in her hair,
While look upon her face
I feel the clasp OF her slender hand,
Gentle, yet clinglng fast,
And almost feel l am young again,
Tho so many years have past.
And yet, could live over the space
OF those Indian summer days,
