His Reception.
Washington. August 11-Arrange-
ment are progressing for the reception of
III Hung Chang, when he arrives in this
country on the 2Sth instant. The Chi
nese minister and his suite will go to New
York to receive the earl, by which title
he is known by his countrymen OF rank.
EX-Secretary John w Foster, who is
now in the Adirondacks, will be in New
York on the Goth to make preliminary
arrangements and will return there on
the 9th to take part in the reception.
Besides the visits to Washington and
Philadelphia which Ii will make, strong
efforts are being made to have his trip
extended to Boston, where reception
will be given him. The first arrange
ments were such rs to make the Boston
visit impossible, but it is felt among the
officials here that after arrival some
changes Will he made so us to permit the
Boston visit
General Miles and others representing
various branches Of the Government will
confer with the Chinese minister here rs
10 the arrangements for the reception. 1t
i probable that an officer of to army
and one from the navy will beassigned To
meet the Chinese statesman and accom-
pany him on his trip. 1t is probable also
that Il detail of troops from Governors
Island will take part in the reception ut
New York, and that a troop of cavalry
from Fort Myer will assist in the eXer-
ciscs here. At first it was intended to
rent an entire house in Washington and
equip it for the accommodation of the
earl and his numerous retinue. which
embraces twelve secretaries and many
servants. Owing however. to the short.
ness of the stay here, it has been decided
To quarter the guests at hotel.
LIS MOVEMENTS.
London, August LII Hung Chang
to-day visited the Bank of England and
remained there about an hour The
length of his stay was the probable cause
OF the circulation of a rumor that he is
negotiating with the bank for loan. 1t
is known, however, that in discussing the
silver question with the officials of the
Bank of England he suggested that the
institution referred to might take the ini-
tiative in settling the bimetallic diff
Guilty. There was a large gathering at
the reception rendered by the merchants
of London to Ii Hung Chang to.day$
The assemblage occurred in the fshmong-
ers' hall and among those present was the
japanese minister. Through an inter

address of welcome and said that il was
"A wrong principle for statesman to
make promises, adding that, however. he
would endeavor to extend the railroads

I consulted the spirits that dwell In your

saw
The spritos laughed and replied, "Tis for
you to observe;
Gaze straight into these eyes; let your
glance never swerye."
So looked for moment therein to be-
hold,
A thread spun so finely of glistenlng
gold,
Only those IN close league with tho
sprites could divine.
And you know that that privilege Just
then was mine.
with the soul is connected this delicate
wire,
And there is stored up all the mischievous
fire;
With feminine eyes at the negative pole,
An electrical charge travels out from tho
soul,
And the bright inner light can its sparkle
transmit
Az direct TO the eyes the fond message
Will fit
When we wish TO play havoc with fair
maidens' hearts.
We pull the cord quickly. and straightway
there darts
A spark that can kill with its mischievous
glow,
As fatal as arrows from Loves famous
bow
When the eye gazeth softly, the bright
lights we turn.
And a fire is kindied that gently will
burn"

survive,

them thrive.

hooks OF romance,
IT'S there we are happy. we reyel and
dance:
And like will-o'- the-wisps we show best
in the night.
For the darkness around us makes

Ny glance I withdrew as trembled and
thought
OF the fearful destruction those eyes must
have wrought;
And thanks 10 the sprites whom 1 took by
surprise,
1 can safely cteer clear OF those wicked
black eyes.
