All Tientsin is just now excited over
the marriage of LII Hung Chang's
daughter. 1t took place this week, and
the three days Wedding was the great
est event of the year. saw some of
the flowers at the Yamsn as passed
through, and, l am told. that the we'd
ding gifts filled thres rooms. Some of
the presents were of jade, pearls ana
precious stones, and there was a great
amount of silks and velvets. Ii Hung
Chang is superintendent of trade for
northern China. and all of the great
merchants MAIDS presents to the bride.
The manner of sending the presents
was, IN the case of small things. on
trays and some of the larger pieces
came in carts. Tho trays were covered
with red silk, which means luck in
China, and number of presents were
sent by each person, the idea being
that the bride would sslect the one
which, according to etiquette, ought
to be the least valuable of the lot. The
Chinese at this wedding showed their
great love for foreign things. They
bought out the entire effects OF French
store in the foreign settlement, and one
of the noolemen took fancy to a big
figured, old-fashioned Brussels carpet
of a pattern common in America a gen
GRAFTON ago. This carpet has been in
the store for years, and none of the
foreigners would buy it. The China
mans eyes lighted up as he took in its
gorgeous figures. He said, IT want that
for the viceroy's daughter. He was,
of course, charged a good round price
for it, and it duly appeared at we'd

lis first words to me were about Gen
eral Harrison. He wanted to know II
1 knew him, and told him I did. He
then asked as to his profession, and as
to how he stood in it. He was espeo-
tally solioitous as to President Harri-
sons views on the Chinese question,
and he requested me to tell the Ameri-
can people through my pen that he did
not at all approve OF the exclusion of
the Chinese from the United States.
Said he:
The passage of the exclusion act is
entirely contrary to the spirit of the
treaty relations between the two coun-
tries. 1t is an outrage and hope it
will be repe aled. and l wish you to tell
the American people for me that if it
is not repealed, propose to advice our
government to exclude the Americans
from China, and 1 think it will be no
more than rightif we do so. You may
ampijfy this as much as you please,
aud l trust that you will put it ia so
strong light that the American people
Will do justice to our nation"
These were The words of the secre-
tary of foreign affairs of the Chinese
Empire. l write them here not more
than one-half hour after they were
uttered. | do not think it necessary to
ampllfy them. and it seems to me that

It does not take more than two sen
fences to show the person who talks
with Ii Hung Chang that he is in the
presence OF no ordinary man. Hi,
words come out quick and sharp. He
asks the most direct of questions in
tones which show that he expects an
answer, and while he demands all
kinds of information from you. he
gives you just about what he pleases in
return. His figure is q most i'm pres-
sive one, we'll formed, he stands six
feet two in his stockingr, and his long
silk gown makes him look like giant
while his hat, which he wears at all
times. adds to his stature. His shout
ders are broad. but slightly stopping.
Still in his sixty-seventh year his step
is springy, and his only signs of age are
in the gray of his hair and whiskers.
His yellow complexion shows few
wrinkles, and his twInkling almond
eyes look out through black spectacles.
He shaves his head like all Cinnamon
and his long cue is as white as the
drifted snow. His sparce mustache
aud his tn. n whiskerS are also gray, but
his face is thin. and he has nothing OIL
the round fat appe arsnce of the China
men of America. Still, he is q pure
Chinaman, with no iarter blood in hi
veins, aud he comes from one of tn,
old aristocratic families of the coun
try.

She Didn't Whip Him.

It is universally admitted that the
small boy who has a penchant for bugs
and insects and reptiles is the worst
variety of boy. There is one Of this
sort in Atlanta, who is an ornament to
this particular order of small boy. He
spends his afternoons and all his spare
time, of which he seems to have good
supply, in foraging in the country for
bugs and lizards. Every morning he
takes in his pockets to school the result
of his last raid. On Monday the speci-
mems OF insectiverous and reptilian life
that he can fish up from the depths of his
trousers pockets are many and varied.
and awful to touch and look at. Last
week the teacher took an inventory of
the bugs and beasts found in his peck
cts, or that escaped therefrom and
terrified the other children-and the
teacher. There were several varieties
OF beetles, pigeons with broken wings,
English sparrows, butterflies, devil
horses, slugs, snails, earth-worms,
lizards, q snake or two and an occa-
sional frog, damp and cold.
One day he opened the flap Of his
POChet, auu Gl1eu went on MS nara,
resolute effort to make his teacher
think he was studying. After awhile
the teacher noticed grasshopper hop
ding .gayly from desk to desk, amid the
litter and tee-hee of the scholars. A
chase was begun, when another grass
hopper was seen, then another, and
they were everywhere hopping all ove7
the room and sticking their sharp fee
in the little girls hair, frightening
them half to death. Come here!s
shouted the teacher to the tender lover
OF insects, as she reached for ferule.
Give me your hand. sir" The natur-
alist held out his hand as if he were q
martyr to science. The teacher was
about to seize it, when she caught
sight of two green eyes that flashed at
her from the boys hand, and sharp
forked tongue that seemed to dart into
her face. The boy had snake cooled
around his arm. He was not feruled
and the teacher has not felt we'll since.

Work in Dakota.

Nearly every paper have read late
ly has an article about the brave little
girl of Lake County, Dakota, who
plowed forty acres of ground. 1t was
grand thing for girl only twelve
years of age to do, but I think the fol-
lowing will discount it: @. M. Hutch
inson had charge Of my farm in Deuel.
County, Dakota, in 1887, and his daugh-
ter Maud, only seven years old at the
time, drove team and did her share
of the work in stacking over five hun
bred acres Of hay and grain. We ran
from three to five teams every day,
and she would drive load to the stack,
change teams, drive back to the field
and change teams, driving different
team every time. Some of the teams
were not very gentle, but she managed
them as we'll as any of the men. At
one time while hauling hay the load
slipped off, throwing her under it.
She crawled out, overlook the team,
caught the lines that were dragging on
the ground, turned the team around,
drove back to the hay on the ground,
nnhitched the foam, took one of the
horses and rode Dack to the field, got
help to come and load the hay and
drove to the barn as though nothing
had happened. If you can find girl
seven years old that has displayed more
sand and good horse sense than she did
on this occasion, I will throw up the
sponge.-PiO71eer Press.

But you need not tell her; no one

Il would know all about it myself,
and I'd feel mighty mean if I couldn't

TITS pity you wasn't girl. The
idea Of boy running and telling his
mother every little thing!"
You may laugh if you want to"

my mind never, as long as I live, to do
anything l would be ashamed to tell
my mother"
Noble resolve, and which will make
almost any life true and useful. Let
it be the rule of every boy and girl to
do nothing of which they would be
ashamed to tell their mother.

Corporal Tanners Old Commander.

Here in Washington is the place to
see the ups and downs Of political life.
Old commanders during the war times
become askers of their former subor-
dinates for Offices in their gift after the
shuttle of quarter Of century of
politics. The file in great many in
stances has become the rank and the
rank the file. Corporal Tanner, for
instance, became Commissioner Tan
der, became Pension Agent sigel and
one of his underlings. II tell you,"
said Commissioner Tanner, the other
night, ut was pathetic. I could re-
member how Gen. Sigers horse had
splashed mud over me as I stood in
the ranks, and he galloped along the
line with his splendid staff, and here he
was, broken old man, offering me his
resignation. "-Washi,agto1a Critic.

Lulu's Footprints in the Paint.

II think said papa, one morning,
while he was costly seated at the break
fast table, with his wife and little girl,
Il think we had better have the sitting
room floor painted while the carpet is
up; you know, wife, it has never been
painted since the house was built"
YES" said the wife, ct would be a
very good plan if we can manage it. 1
suppose Sampson would come up any
time and paint it in day; but how
shall we manage to keep this puss Of a
Lulu off the paint? She is such lit
tie fyaway that am afraid she would
get stuck fast in the paint before it
was dry"
why, mamma" exclaimed Lulu,
looking up from her piece of toast, "Ill
be good little girl-a real little lady
till it is dry; but would it be SO very
bad if should happen to step on the
paint while it was raw?" and Lulu
looked sober and thoughtful. Instant
ly, as though bright idea had struck
her she said: Il shouldn't do anything
worse than leave the print of my foot
on the floor, and you love my little feet,
oOn you, papa anu ulauua
Climbing down from her high chair,
she trotted to papa and held up her
little mouth to be kissed, then she
went to mamma, climbed up in her
lap and kissed her, then, jumping
down, she danced round the table two
or three times and went back to her
breakfast.
After papa had kissed the little
woman across the table and kissed and
patted his little girl on the head, he
was about to go to the city to his bust
ness, when he said, well, wife, if you
say so, 1 will send Sampson up to-day
and have the floor painted before
night.
avery we'll, shall be glad to have
it DONE" So away went papa to his
office downtown, to write and transact
business all the day long.
J. It was pretty home. The lawn
was green and the little garden was
fresh and bright with flowers. Here
Lulu had an unbounded right. She
could gather flowers from any of the
plants, and when she brought them
into the house her mamma would ar
range them in the different rooms, SO
when papa came home, Lulu would
take him bv the hand and lead him
around to see them, delighted to hear
his praises.
