Ii Hung Chang reports that the concubine
of Ii Changlo, the late commander in-chief
of Chilli, who was only 81 years of age, and
had always been noted for her virtuous con-
duct, on hearing of her husbands illness,
journeyed night and day till she reached his
bedside just in time TO be present at his death.
She showed her determination not to survive
his departure, and, although her friends used
every possible means to dissuade her from her
purpose, she poisoned herself on the next day.
The magistrate and gentry Of the district
have presented a petition to the viceroy, ia
which they ask that permission may be grant
ed for the erection of a monument to the
lady's memory, and in supporting the appli-
cation his excellency dwells upon the meri-
torious and devoted conduct which she ex-
hibited in nobly sacrificing her life through
grief for the death Of her lord. The petition
was granted by rescript. -Peking Gazette.

leav IS with the note or telegram, that is, he
leav es the Office. On his way 10 the stairs he
is oil liged TO pass in full view of the freaks
and he usually is tempted 10 pause and inspect
them. If he does this he is liable to beget
strong desire TO see the stage shows, and the
cha ices are that he spends half hour or so
In tIe museum before he does the errand.
Cne day Kohl wrote an important telegram
and called boy to take 1t to the office. An
hour later he had occasion to go out into the
mus cum and there he saw the same boy adj
miring the albino lady. Grabbing him by the
collar Kohl asked him If he had brought an
answer TO the telegram. When he learned
thai he had been in the museum all the time
he lid not know whether to throw him down
the stairs or feed him to the man eating gor-
lila He finally sent him by the stair route,

For home, and hearth, and haven;

A roof, porch, garden,
And from fond, unquestioning heart
Peace, sympathy and pardon,
