Contest for a Husband.

An edict from the empress appeared an
nouncing that Seh-hon-na-ta the daughter
of the Manchu brigadier general, Kwei-siang
younger brother of the empress had been
selected as the consort of the youthful EN-
peror of China, and that two girls named Ia
ta-la, daughters of Chanshuh, a Manchu vice
president Of the Pekin board, aged l5 and 13
years respectively, had been chosen for the
harem. Tho emperor's marriage will take
place, according to present arrangements, on
the 23d of next February, a time which the
Astronomical board has ascertained, or at all
events hos declared, to be propitious
The process of selecting the emperors con.
sort is interesting. After two inspections, at
considerable intervals, the number of candi-
dates was reduced to thirty-one, who are
daughters of mandarins of above the fourth
rank, and, of course, of Manchu extraction.
These thirty one young ladies were conveyed
in carts to the palace on the night of the 27th
ult., or rather in the early morning of the
2Sth, 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 a. m A
splendid banquet was then spread before
them, after which they were ushered into
the presence of her majesty the empress

interest the ladies to know that her majesty
wore on one occasion an apricot yellow
silk long dress, with a black velvet Jack
ct. Each girl carried a tablet bearing her
name and age, also the name of her father,
banner, etc, which was presented to the en-
press while the girl stood before her After
some interrogations, and in no few cases even
monitory words for having continued to shave
the forehead, her majesty formed her opin-
ion of the candidate, which, when unfavor-
ablo, was signified by handing the girls
tablets to one Of the eunuchs with the order
70 present the rejected aspirant with 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 inflicts 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 rejected are really to be
pitied. North China News.

BLOWN FROM A GUN.
The Terrible Punishment Administered I
SepOy Mutineers,

SepOy Mutineers.
During the Sepoy rebellion of 1878 MANY
of the mutineers were blown away from the
guns 1t was terrible punishment, one
which had been inflicted a century before at
the first mutiny of the Bengal army in 1864
battalion of Sepoys had seized and impris-
oned its English officers and vowed it would
serve TO more. A strong hand arrested the
mutiny at its beginning Twenty four Sepoys
were tried by drum head court martial,
found guilty and sentenced 10 be blown away
from the cannon.
On the day of the execution the troops were
drawn up, English and Sepoys the guns
were loaded, and the prisoners led forth to
suffer the terrible penalty
The word of command was given for the
first four criminals to be tied up to the muZ-
zles of the guns. As the men were being
bound four tall, stately grenadiers stepped
forward from among the condemned Sepoys,
saluted the commander, Maj. Hector Munro,
chief or the Bengal army and asked that as
they had always held the post Of honor in
life they might be given the precedence in
death, as it was their due. The request was
granted The grenadiers were tied to the
guns and blown to pieces.

to rescue their companions, the twenty con
deemed men.
The officers of the native regiments ap-
preached Munro and told him that their men
were not to be trusted, as they had deter
mined not to permit the execution to proceed.
The chief knew that on the issue of that
parade for execution depended the fate of the
Bengal army
The English troops were few and there was
scarcely man among them not moved to
tears by the fearful death of the four grena-
diers. But the commander knew they could
he trusted to defend the guns, which, turned
upon the Sepoys, would defeat any attempt
to rescue their comrades
Maj. Munro closed the English on to the
battery-the grenadiers on one side, the ma

grape Then he sent the Sepoy officers back

Yet she crushed at q blow all the tops of the

The very first time she appeared on the scene
In something she calls Directory gown.
It is cut in the picturesque fashion of old,
With limp. clinging skirt, and the scantiest
waist
And wandering over its soft silken fold
Are garlands of roses enchantingly traced.
They have faded, perhaps, since the wonderful
night
When grandmamma danced at the emperor's
ball
A dimpled young beauty who laughed with
To hear herself whispered the fairest Of all,
And fingered her pink Powered frock as she
stepped
Through gigue and gavotte with gay cava-
lier.
Whose passionate vows, never meant to be
kept
Fell now and again on her innocent ear.
There's tiny spot still on the ancient brocade.
Where the posy she gave him had lain at her
breast
And there at one side, where the satin is
frayed,
The thick jeweled hilt of his sword may have
pressed.
But the prince-ahi Rosina, revenge is so sweet.
