Diplomatic Episode.

PEK1Ne, China, December 1, 1885,
Especial Correspondence of The
HERALD The telegraph mas become q
fixture in the holy city Of Picking. The
mandarins now use the wire, and the
Emperor has his reports by telegraph
from the leading cities of the kingdom
A Chinese baby climbing telegraph
pole, such as saw here this afternoon,
is one of the curiosities of the western
invasion of the Celestial dominions.
Tho winds from Mongolia futtered Its
garments in the breezs, and its long cue
hung out like a streamer as 1t clasped
its little hands and toes about the
smooth stick and vainly essayed to
mount. Ten years ago, the Chlnaman
who dared propose the introduction OF
q telegraph into .Peking would have
been subject for official depreciation.
The trouble with Russia, however,
showed the necessity for such commu-
nication, and there are now in China
more than 5000 miles Of wire. Slowly,
but surely, western invention is max
Ing it's way, and LII Hung Chang, the
great viceroy. in a visit to Colonel
DENLY, az the American legation not
long ago, SAID he expected TO ride by
railway to Heklng within year. NOW
the journey OF ninety miles from TENT
ain mas to be made by pony, by donkey,
or by cart, or the traveller must come
by boat up the winding Pelho. The
pony ride requires two days, and the
boat takes from tn; ee to seven. The
winter mail of Picking has to be brought
700 miles through the interior, by relays
of ponies, and it then takes something
like three weeks to get letter from
Shanghai to PekiDg. The Chinese, at
present, profess to be well salts with
this arrangement. The majority Of
them do not want railroads nor tele-
graphs, and they would, if they could,
extend the walls ABOUT Peking SO high
that they would reach heaven ltselt,
and effectually bar out the son OF
heaven" as they call their Emperor,
from ali contract, direct and indirect,
with foreigners.

Colonel DENLY is now at the head of
the foreign ministers here. He is the
dean OF tho diplomatic corps, and
attended, last night, diplomatic din
ner which he gave to the German min
lister upon his retiring from Peking.
Mr.. Won Brandt, the oldest minister at
Peking in point of residence, has been
the dean for some time, and by his re-
call the position comes to Minister
DENLY. As dean. he is the representa-
tive of the corps. and acts as its
spokesman upon state occasions. He
is now. hence, the head representative
OF the foreign influences in China and
as such, holds very important posi-
ton In the lands of the Oelestials.
A thorough French scholar, he made
an exc llent speech at this dinner in
the French language, which has been
lately adopted as the diplomatic tongue
of the foreign legations here. The
dinner was held at the american lega-
ton, and the parlors which have he. n
re- decorated and refurnished dnrine

many city street. It is sixty feet
wide at the bottom, and you could drive
four wagon loads OF hay along its top
without crowdIDg. It is made of large
gray bricks laid IN blue mortar, and the
whole has become, through age, one
mass of stone. At the top the outside
walls, perhaps two feet thick, rise four
feet aud make fence to tho pathway
between them. This is tagged with
stones, in. the crevices of which the
grass is growing, and through which
here and there e tree has forced its
way and grown big -trunked and long
branched amid its rocky surroundings.
The space between the faeings OF the
walk is filled with earth, and the six.
teen great gates Of the city have brick
towers of many stories, some of which
are built in galleries with PORTFOLIOS,
and which, over certain gates, rise to a
height of one hundred feet. The gates
are faced with stone, and their arches
are OF solid granite. They are great
round holes cut through this massive
wall, and within them swing heavy,
wooden doors studded with many iron
rivets. These are closed when the sun
goes down, and are not opened again
until the morning. Through these out
side fenc:s above the walk on the top of
the wall, are holes through which
arrows might have been shot, or per-
baps musket barrel pushed through.
They are not large enough for cannons,
aud to day there are no soldiers keep
ing guard along these great military
highways. Here and there is q rude
hut built upon the stones for watch
man. but the most of the walls are free
for all, and they form the promenade
for the foreign residents of the city.
st each OF the gates there is @ third
wall which runs around it enclosing q
space of several acres, end making q
double fertilization at this place.

The Chinese are the most conceited
nation on the face of the earth, and
they think their civilization is the high
est in the world. They entitle their
Emperor the ruler of the world, and
the ordinary Chinaman, which title
includes nine hundred and ninety-nine
thoussndths OF The four hundred mil
lion people making up their race, be-

English aud other legations are located,

their houses and their arms to him,
the contrast between his position and
that of the American minister to
China. is a national humiliation. The
better class OF the Chinese offer no
social invitations TO the foreign minis
tiers at Peking. Colonel DENLY, during
his four years OF efficient service in
China, has never seen the inside of q
Chinese gentleman house. He has
never looked into the almond-eyes of
the boy Emperor, nor has he set his
foot inside one of his palaces. He has
never had an audience with the En-
press regent thru Ugh her famous gauze
screen, and such calls as he has had
from the ministers of foreign affairs
have been those of ceremony and bust
ness, Nevertheless, he has paid his
social duties religiously, and yesterday
he sent his card to the Office of foreign
affairs in honor of the Empress birth
day. Our foreign minister uses, of
course, q Chinese card. It is q strip of
paper four inches wide and ten inches
long, and its color is of hua SO red that

NIAGARA TO BE nARNEssED.
g. A Company Will Utilize the Power
of the Horseshoe Falls.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 2O.-The OBJ
tanning of permission from the Ontario
government by Col. Hamilton's Niagara
Hydraulic Electric company, to utilize
the power of the Horseshoe falls on the
Canadian side, is the talk of the city to-
day. Col. Hamilton's scheme received
the cold shoulder in this section when
he was agitating it and endeavoriug to
obtain from the state legislature the
right to use the American falls. 1t is
stated by one of the promoters of the
company that the consideration under
which the Ontario government granted
the desired privilege was $4,000 cash
and 5000 year rental. Ex-Goy. Cor
nell, who is said to be interested in the
scheme to the extent of S150,000 of the
capital stock, is in the city to-day, but
positively declines to be interviewed on
the subject, saying that it is his own
private business, with which the public
has nothing to do. Col. Hamilton has
gone to Alexandria, Va, where meet
Ing of the company will be held for the
purpose of taking steps to place the
company in practical working opera

"Why" asked the Mole, pausing in
the midst of an excavation contract
which nobody wanted him to continue,
while he sleisurely conyersed with the
Eagle, in order to kill the working ;time
that hangs too heavily upon the ennui-
stricken hands of the day laborer:
why do you sit gazing so steadily
up into the dim blue ether?' "Be-
cause" replied the king of birds, who
was too fly to get stuck on a simple
hand-woven conundrum, sit is soar
spot with me-" So saying, he picked
up the humble deliver of the soil,
and made it sore for him. This fabula
docets that when man asks conun-
drum he should be ready to dive into
the bombproof as he perfects the align
ment of his closing sentence.
