4 NOTEE SCENE.

An edict from the dowager empress
of China has been published announc-
ing that Yeh-hoh-na-Ia, the daughter of
the Manchu brigadier general, Kwei-
slang younger brother to the dowager
empress had been selected as the con
sort of the youthful Emperor of China,
and that two girls named Ta-ta-la,
daughters of Chang-shuh, Manchu
vice-president of the Pelin board, aged
Is and - years respectively, had been
chosen for the harem.
The process of selecting the Emperor's
consort is interesting. After two in
spections, at considerable intervals, the
number of candidates was reduced to
thirty-one, who are the daughters of
mandarins of above the fourth rank, and
of course of NIanchu extraction. These
thirty-twO young ladies were conveyed
in carts to the palace on the night of
the 28th ult., or rather In the early
morning of the 28th, at 2 o'clock. They
entered by the Gate of the Southern
Sea, which they crossed in six boats,
and were conducted to the palace,
which they reached at 3 o'clock a. N. A
splendid banquet was then spread be-
fore them, after which they were ush-
cred into the presence of her majesty,
the Empress dowager, by groups Of four
or five. 1t may interest the ladies to
know that her majesty wore on one oc-
casion an apricot-yelIow silk long dress
with black velvet jacket. Each girl
carried a tablet bearing her name and
age, also the name of her father, BAN
ner, etc, which was presented to the
Empress while the girls stood before
her.
After some interrogations, and in no
few cases even monitory words for hay
ing continued to shave the forehead, her
majesty formed her opinion of the can
didate, which, when unfavOrable, was
signified by handing the girls tablet to
one of the eunuchs with the order t
present the rejected aspirant with a roll
of silk. The girl with the silk was then
taken back to her cart, never more to
participate in the imperial matrimonial
competition. The selection of a new
empress inhicts a serious burden on
many poor men whose daughters are
eligible and must be presented, but
who have little means to defray the ex-
penses incidental to journeying to Pekin
and frequent visits to the palace. Most
Of them pray to be put out Of their
misery at the first inspection, and those
who survive to the last and are then re-
jected are really to be pitied.-NoTtb
