A KANSAS KEARNEY.

One Mr.. j. G. Coughar has turned his
great mind and exuberant mouth bose
on the political issues which have ARISEN
IN the Second district in connection with
the canvass for the election of a sue
cessor to the late Dudley c. Haskell. He
appeared on Monday night at Wyan
dot:e with Hon. Sam, Riggs, the stand
ard bearer of the scattered vlements'' of
the Second district, and the Kansas City
Journal thus reports his ssni-lot effu-
sion. Pointing to Kansas City the
speaker said:
"All the palaces up there we laborers
built, yet they are occupied by men who
do not work, while we do. Cheers and
great applause Mr.. Coughar de-
nounced the labOring men as fools, and
the broadclOth aristocracy as thieves,
ana for ten minutes or more of his
talk streaked the pale air with red
hot epithets, and said a revolution
was nt ede1 to right things, to make
! capital recognize and be Just to la
Dor. We have tight on our hands, we

The Republicans Of the Second DIS
trici should find ia this commuuistic
keynote on the part of the opp psition
the most powerful incentive to a har-
monious and vigorous canvass. The ut
terances OF COughar reflect the sentiment
of very large pr 1poItion of The voters
who are enlisted il. the fight sg .iDst the
Republican candidate for Mr. Haskell's
place in congress, and it is not difficult
to foreieiIthe decentralization to which
the triumph OF such principles would
lead. The policy which condemns thrift

THE EMPEROR OF CHINA AT HOME.

The Youthful Ruler OF an Empire Con-
tanning 25O,OOO.OOO Subjects.
The ruler of the $50, GOO, of which
the Chinese nation probably consists, is
now within five years of his majority,
and is an occupant, while yet a minor,
of the same apartments in which lived
the emperor who preceded him on the
dragon throne There he eats with
gold-tipped chop-stieks Of ivory;
there he sleeps on large NIngpo
bedstead, richly carved and or
namented with ivory and gold,
the same on which the noble
minded emperers Kang Hsl and CHEN
Lung used to reclIne after the days
fatigue last century and the century be-
fore. Like one of those living Buddhas
who may be seen in lamaserY on the
| Monaghan pla'esu, he is knelt to by all
his attendants, aud honOred as god.
There is this difference, that the respect
felt fer 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 Tlen, and is
a little to the west of the Ch'ien Meu in
the middle of the palace. At the back
of the central gate on the south side, is
the great reception hall. When minis
| tiers of state and others enter for an au-
dience al four, five or SIX, in the morn
ing, according to custom, they have to
go on foot &c the center OF the palace,
over half mile, if they enter by the
east or west gate, and when they get on
in years they can appreciate the empe-
| ror's favor, which then by decree al
lows them to be borne in chair instead
of walking.
The rooms of The emper u consists Of
seven compartments. They are provid-
ed with the divan or k'aug, the peculiar
institution of North China The k'angs
are covered with red felt of native
manufacture, snd the floor with Euro
pean carpets. The cushions all have
embodied on them he dragon and the
phoenix. Pretty things scattered
