Iii Hung Chang.

Ii Hung Chang, viceroy of China,
says writer in Frank Leslie's Week
ly, does not live in Picking, but has
his palace in Tien-Tsin NINETY miles
from the capitaD, where he is sur
sounded by his armies, and has his
fleet near at hand.
1t is well known that the members
of the Sunni Yamen, Grand Coun-
Gil of the Empire), who sat in Pc
king, have the most profound hatred
for the viceroy, and have tried sever
al times to get rid of him by means
which would recall those used in the
Middle Ages. But LII Hung Chang
is too well guarded in Tien-Tsin.
Every attempt has been a failure, and
after several Of them the heathens in
office came to the conclusion that
the only thing to be done was to get
the viceroy to come to Picking.
They demonstrated to the Emperor
and his mother that Ii Hung Changes
ambition might lead him to over
throw the actual dynasty and make
himself monarch, and that it was
quite necessary to have him live in
Peking, where the Sunni Yamen
would watch him.
The Emperor saw the imaginary
danger and ordered the viceroy to
make his headquarters in Picking.
He did not even answer
Two orders were sent, the last be-
ing so imperative that he answered
at once
Il am coming. Arrange quarters
for the fifteen thousand soldiers I
take with me.
One can easily imagine the alarm
of the Emperor and the members OF
the Sunni Yamen when they heard
of those fifteen thousand soldiers,
and they answered promptly:
"Stay where you are by all means,
and keep your soldiers away"
Ii Hung Chang may be considered
the most liberal and most progress
siye man in the Chinese Empire.

ARE TOYS TOO GOOD7
A Suggestion That the Toys Of Our Child
hood Were Better,

/ Men are, after all, only overgrown
children. Give your little boy money,
and the sweetshop and the tOyshop
will, too probably, eclipse the mute
appeal of the missionary box.
And, when the boy grows up, phys
/ ically, if his income also grows, he
will spend at sweetshop and toyshop.
Instead of acid drops he will purchase
rare wines and order elaborate din
ners; the race game and the clock
work boat will expand the real thor
oughbreds and steam yacht.
Do we really outgrow the taste for
sweets and toys? Some OF US never
have it; some lose it by over-indulg-
ence during youth.
But to the temperate person, whose
pocket money has always been limit
ed, are toys and sweets ever wholly
without attractions, He is ashamed
to be seen openly puTcbaJing sugared
almonds and chocolate creams, and
looking in vain longing at lead SOL
dlers and clockwork trains; but the
old delight is not dead.
Even a humble box Of bricks, that
best of toys, unrolls before his mental
vision prospect of houses, fortresses,
harbors, railway stations, geological
gardens, and all the ingenious con-
structions of the Young architect,
half blocks and half "make-b believe. +"
When / look into the toy-shop win
dows, as | usually do, it seems to me
that children are losing the poetic
imagination that transformed a dingy
play room into fairyland
Toys are becoming daily more elab-
crate. more realistic; less room is left
for fiction and romance. Lead SOL
diers are no longer fiat simulacra of
humanity, but big, broad, solid and
expansive. Cavalrymen sit plumply
astrlde bullying horses; artillery
trains, pontoon trains, complete in
every detail, replace the improvised
substitutes in which | once reveled.
Yet, can the model 81-ton gun give
as much satisfaction to the boyish
possessor as the fortress artillery |
used to contrive out of an old brass
cannon, three bricks and the tender
OF a tin train?-The Sketch.

II Was Dead Economy.

An excursion from Birmingham to
Montgomery was run the other day.
says the Birmingham (Ala) Age
Herald. A negro man appeared at
the ticket office in the depot and
purchased ticket for himself. Then
he said to the ticket agent:
Boss, want mother round trip
'scursion ticket for corpse"
The agent opened his eyes in as
constituent. An excursion ticket for
a corpse was something new to him,
even with his varied experience.
The negro explained: "You see.
boss, my brudder died yesterday and
| want ter take de corpse down to
Montgomery and let de family view
de mains, and den bring em back TO
Birmingham and bury 'em. Dis will
be heap cheaper den fur de family
TO cum up here.
The agent saw at once that this
was great stroke Of economy and
enterprise on the part Of the negro.
There were probably a dozen mem
bers of the family, and tickets for
them 10 birmingham and board while
there would be quite expensive. The
corpse could get the benefit OF excur.
sion rates 90 Montgomery and would
pay no board while there, Thus the
negro subserved the ends Of economy
aud preserved the respect for the grief
OF thc family at the same time

| the whole anti saloon element of the
county for common purpose. With
Democratic ticket in the field confessedly
nominated in tho interest Of the liquor
power, the Republicans have now de
clined all attempts to secure unity Of
action, and purposely changed the date
of their nominating convention appar
emily to forestall any action looking to
that end"

ance of their purpose toward this all

or expect them to stand in advance of
the established position of their party in
the nation, or of their county organiZa
ton that has stead lily refused heretofore
to champion the cause of the home as
against the saloon by any official utter
anoe or binding political aot."
"The salaries attached to some Of the
county offices are now out of all proper

to reduce them to scale in accordance
