THE NEW REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT TO THIS COUNTRY.
In their trip across the continent to the
capital the new Minister and his suite of
thirty-nine persons have been the subjects of
great curiosity. While travelling the party
were dressed in rich costumes and wore tas.
seled caps made OF brown silk. The trunks
which contained the wardrobe of the Minis
ter and his suite were small boxes made of
willow and much resembling baskets. There
were innumerable boxes which looked like
tea chests and band-boxes of strange shapes.
One truck load consisted of wooden shoes,
umbrellas. and bottles containing LIQUID re-
freshments, and there were several cases of
champagne.

IGalena IN Letter to the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The Colonel has a handsome, well-shaped
hand, of which he is somewhat proud, aud
naturally hides this defect as much as pos
sible when in the company of Others. The
story of how he lost his finger was related to
the correspondent to-day by one of his
former juvenile companions at the time the
Grants occupied the little twO-story brick on
High street in this city, in 1860. Fred
was then about ten years of age, and
being favOrite OF his grand
father, Jesse b. Grant, had been
presented by him with handsome single
barrelled shotgun, an article which he had
long coveted and plead for with his father
in vain. Jesse maintained that his nephew
Frederick, was old enough to know how to
use gun; that he wanted one badly. and
should have one, and so when the young
sters birthday came around he got the wea-
pom, together with liberal supply of am
munitiOn. His first practice shots were
upon the hordes OF rats in the barn of L. :.
Felt, near neighbor of the Grants. His
most successful, effort, however, was in shoot
ing off his little finger by accident, the gun
having been prematurely exploded while he
was standing with his left hand over the
muZzle. The finger was almost entirely
severed by the charge, and hung only by a
strip of skin. With great deliberation the
plucky Fred took out his knife and cut the
SuIeu WHICH nelu TIE IIlStT, duU pldCluS TIE
amputated member in his pocket he slung
the gun over his shoulder and leisurely
trudged into the house TO his mother, to
whom he broke the news of the occurrence
as gently as possible. Mrs. Grant, with
characteristic motherly affection, de-
plored the accident, and nearly
went into Mysteries over it, SO
great was her grief at the misfortune which
had befallen her beloved boy. Fred took
the matter phllosophically throughout and
consoled his mother a. best he could, telling
her that she ought to be thankful il was not
worse. His father, then Captain Grant, was
sent for, likewise the family doctor. Both
arrived in due time. and the wounded hand
was ere long properly dressed and placed in
a sling. after which operation the dsmem-
bered finger was buried in the back yard of
the Haines premises by the troupe of juve-
niles who were present when the &C
cdent occurred. The affair came off with
great solemnity and due pomp, Fred being
present himself as chief mourner. Funeral
chants were sung, Miss Sue Felt-now Mrs. J.
Allen Barber of Chicago-and Miss Flora
Halnes-now Mrs. G.. f. Woodbury., of
Galena-leading the choir. When Captain
Grant reached home ON the day of the acct
dent his only remark was, after examining
the nature of the injury "Well, Fred this
will disqualify you for admission to West
Point" But it didn't, however, as subse-
quent events showed.

Constitutional Prerogatives Must be Pre-
ALWAYS PLACID.
The Receiving Telegraph Clerk Who Re-
fused to Show Any Interest.
Detroit Free Press.

lDelIoll FTee ITtnS.l
The receiving clerks behind the desks at
the telegraph offices are cool, placid fellows.
They take your message of life or death with
perfect indifference, mechanically count the
words, and look bit bored as they reply:
1T will be sixty-liYe cents, please"
had my eye on certain chap for several
weeks before ! humbled his pride He in
suited me. He i0sulted me by softly whis-
pering TO himself as he counted the words
in the following message:
Grandmother died last night very sud
denly. How many of you can attend
funeral?"
When / handed in that message | ex
pected him to exhibit little emotion. While
he could not have been personally acquaint-
ed with my grandmother, he must have sus-
pected that she was nice old lady, and that
her sudden death had greatly overcome me.
Why didn't he look up with bit of sympa-
thy in mis- eye and say:
Too bad. know just how you feel and
I'm sorry for YOU"
But, no. He whistled and counted, made
scratch or two with his pen, and remarked:
'Three words over-seventy cents"
And as he made change he told one of the
BOYS behind the counter that he'd be - if
he wasn't going to the dog fight that night.
Then he picked up my dead grandmother
dispatch and banged it on a hook, showed
me over some change, and turned away to
resume the perusal of a sporting paper.
The next week went in with dispatch
announcing that my grandmothers will had
been opened, and that came in for $4,000
That man must have seen by my face that
| was highly elated. Hang him, he never
| had the fifth of that sum, and his salary had
| lust been cut down SO per month, but
when he had read the dispatch he calmly
announced:
Forty cents. and you forgot to date it"
And then he began talking to one OF his
| fellow-clerks about a smuggling match, and
how he won s. by betting on the right man.
| / don't say he ought to have swung his hat
| and cheered over my good fortune, but why
| couldn't he have extended his hand and said !:
"Eh, old boy? In luck, amt you? Send
| around the cigars and we'll smoke to your
| good health"
made up my mind when went out that
