From the Chinese Gazette
Upon the accession of the present Man
chudynasty, the heir OF the last Ming En-
peror, who committed suicide on a coal
bill in Peking, was made a marquis, and
known as the Ming Marquis. During the
reign Of the last emperor but one, the then
holder of the title died without sols
and with no direct heir t. succeed
10 the marquisate and estates. Reference
to the family records showed that the
right heir was an obscure perso mage, who
had been completely lost sight Of, and
search was made for him by the officials Of
the Banner under which the marquis was
enrolled. For long time no trace could be
found of the missing nobleman, but be was
at length discovered standing with bar
row outside one Of the gates Of Peking, sell
ing species Of large pumpkin. He proved
70 be a man OF the most rustic appearance
and utterly uneducated. Ignorant of his
high birth, he was gaining a precarious
livelihood as a costermonger.
DE was with difficulty made to realize
the sudden freak by which fortune had
raised him TO be one of the great MOBILES of
the land. Hurried off to the ofics of the
Banner, he was washed, shaved and combed
and his rags exchanged for costly garments
suited to his new station in life. For some
days he was polished up generally, and
taught the etiquette and Mancnu
phrases necessary for his presentation
to the emperor. His succession was
allowed, and he went to his palace
and took possession. Report speaks OF
him as an honest and kind-heartad man,
who has done his best to educate himself
and fulfill the duties of his high position
The marquis is now about 81 years of age,
and still retains his rustic appearance. The
birth of sons has secured the succession, so
that the family isnow in as strong a position
as ever. 1t Is his duty to offer sacrifice each
autumn at the Ming tombs His palace is
near one of the gates of the Imperial city.
He is popularity known as tae Pumpkin
