negotiations were begun IN as much
earnest as Chinese regeneration
would allow. The treaty of TIentsln
was eventually drawn up and agreed
upon The principal concessions OBJ
tanned by this Instrument were the
| right to have a resident envoy at
Pekin and permission for English
subjects to travel throughout the en-
! pire Five other ports and the river
1 Yang tse-kiang were thrown open to
! foreign trade. These concessions were
made to apply to all foreigners by sub
seouent treaties with the other pow
ers Unfortunately, the Chinese gov
ernment had not even then learned to
make virtue of necessity; and when
in 1859 the Envoys of England and
France appeared at the mouth of the
! Peluo and requested to be allowed to
proceed to Pekin they were met with
objections and counter suggestions
that were tantamount TO refusal.
The Taku forts had to be reattacked.
and European expedition marched
| on Pekin. The destruction of the
Summer Palace is still remembered
| The treaty of Tieutstin Was not only
ratified liz the capital, but its stIpula-
tons were Immediately put into
execution.
The principal effect ST these wars
and treaties was that they placed the
relations of foreign governments with
the Chinese Government on footing
which mad, friendly understanding
possible. The Celestiais so far abated
their professions as to admit that
there were other independent govern
ments in the world beside theirs, and
that they were entitled to certain
rights aud consideration The dis
turbed state of China herself lent
weight to these opinions, and, while
the imperial authority was being
reasserted to a great extent with for
eign assistance, the Tsung Ii amen,
under the guidance of Prince Kong,
had an easy task in showing that an
agreement with the European powers
was Essential to the well being OF

General Kilpalrick's War Horse.
Christian Register

Old Spot, General Kllpatrick's fav-
orite war horse, bore his master gal
lantly on long and periious rides, and
in the thick of many Il desperate
fight, himself more than once feeling
the prick of steel and the sting of
lead. Subsequent to the war General
Fitzpatrick was sent to South America.
He left the old horse at the farm,
with orders that he should be kindly
cared for. Returning, after an absence
of several years, the General reached
his bone near night, and was for
some time occupied IN exchanging
greetings with his family and friends.
He did not, however, long neglect to
inquire after the old horse. Learning
that Spot was at pasture IN distant
field, the General sent for him. and
little later was told that his faverite
was securely tied to post at the en-
trance of the grounds, some distance
away. The General fastened out to
the piazza, from whence, peerlng
through the shadows, he deserted the
form of the old veteran, who stood
demurely gnawing at the post. Just
the one word, Spot" rang out over
the lawn Like an echo came back
the answering neigh. With a snort
and bound the old charger snapped
the halter, as if it had been thread,
cleared the fence at leap, and, with
arched neck and ears proudly erect,
spurned the intervening turf like a
race horse until he stood by the piazza,
where with joyful whinny he laid his
head upon his masters breast. Added
the General: 1--WE Rugged and car
esssed each other like lovers, and am
not ashamed to say that no welcome
received that day warmed mj heart
more than that of old Spot.

Stories eff the Street.

"Ghosts?" said an old lake captain
in the tug office. :" Yes, I've seen
ghosts, lots of them. l saw one near
the Wabbleshank light. l saw one
once on the Buffalo breakwater. | saw
another one on the Lime Kiln Cross
ing. l saw two together on the Big
Manitou, and one at another time
in Deaths Door. But the alhightest
ghost I ever rub foul of was right out
here il Lake Michigan about ten
hours run from Chicago due north
northeast. 1t was about twelve o'clock
at night. Most of the boys had turn
ed in, but something made me little
uneasy, and went for'ard again and
talked with the watch. Then | went
aft and chatted awhile with the
wheelsman. 1t was so dark we
couldn't see anything, and it soon be-
came plain we were going to have
bad weather We had our top sails
and ibis reefed, ana [ ordered q little
slack in the mainsail. Then | went
below. Two hours later something
woke me up, and 1 went on deck
again. 1t was blowing gale and
the boat was flying. A dirtier night
| never saw. We took in sail and
made things tight and I put two men
on watch. The second one had no
more than taken his place when he
yelled:

We only saw it near by for a
minute and no two of us agreed
what it was. One said 1t was a phan-
tom snip. Another declared that it
was water spirit. Another insisted
that it was the ghost of old Cap'n

that other lower 'akers discovered it,

missing balloon. That's too thin,
though. Balloons don't chase you, by
thunder, and that thing hung on our
trail all the way to Buffalo. Every
night some of US would catch a glim lsse
of it abaft. Two of my men left me
at Buffalo and lined out on the canal

Fighting With Six Bears.

Not long since | was riding toward

miles, when [ discovered two enor-
nous grizzlies down in horse shoe
canyon. left my pony, went to the
canyon wall aud opened fire on the
enemies. The bears were 500 yards
away. My first shot wounded one of
the monsters, and the wounded one
immediately attacked the other bear.
They fought desperately for fifteen
minutes. 1t was terrible encounter;
the beasts would strike, bite and roll
around, giving frigktfUl growls,
enough to scare a fellow even at the
top of the canyon. The wounded bear
was beaten by its antagonist, after
which | SHOT the victor. They were
both ferocious looking animals, and
the two would weigh over 3, 900 pounds.
Their tusks measured 8 inches, claws
4 inches, feet IA inches, and the bears
were II feet long.
Leaving the two bears | walked over

soon had them rolling down the noun

time; the four bears made a terrible
noise. Bawling and deep growls,

rifle. echoed and re-echoed, making a
sound rivaling the very hall of pande

In few minutes all was quiet save
the passing breeze through the pine
boughs and few squalling ravens. /

could occasionally hear their peculiar
whistle across on the opposite noun

all lay in heap, all dead and in the
