Chinese Royalty.

The present emperor of China is Huang Hsu, who succeeded to the throne Jan. 12, 1875. He was one of the young. est monarchs who ever ascended the throne, being at the date of accession only years old There have been 22 dynasties in China, the royal history of this country being better ascertaiEed than that of any other which reaches back to ancient times. With some few breaks, the Chinese have had regular succession of sovereigns since Fuhhi, who, the Chinese say, reigned from B. c. 2852 to 2737 According to Chinese tradition, Fuhhi was no less a person age than the Noah of the Scriptures, who, after leaving his ark on Mount Ararat, travelled east and founded the Chinese empire. Chinese history asserts '" -- @ their earl. -a.ro~ohs ruled TOT 0var a century each; one IlIEL- ing ever China for lI5 years, another for 102, another for 100, and so on. II IS considered probable by historians that these figures represent rather dynasties than the reigns of individual sovereigns. China has had in almost direct descent, with no more than two or three breaks ill the history of the royal family, s sovereigns, 92 emperors, 3 Tartar rulers 6 MOgul emperors and 3 expresses.

A MEXICAN NEW NOLAN.
She Is Thoroughly Capable and Carer1
 Railroad Station Agent

She Is 8 Thoroughly Capable and Careful
 Railroad Station Agent.
 There are many things of interest along the line of railroad between Pu- ebla and Oaxaca, Mexico, but few at- tract the northern traveller more than the station agent at Etla. This is Con. cha Blanca, young woman with hon. est brown eyes and a great mass of wavy black hair. Etla, her post of duty, is the place where the Indians flock from the mountains for 100 miles around for their annual feasts, and also the shipping point for the big haciendas in the fertile valleys among these same mountains. When the train stops at Etla in the dark, young woman in white, for Senorita Concha dresses to match her surname, stands at the door of the express car, lantern in hand, checking the packages oil the big receipt book. When the freight train stops, she fits i'll and out of the long line of cars, telling the brakemen what ts take and what to leave. She goes from one end of the train to the other, seeing that no mis. takes are made. The bareheaded girl ill a white dress is full of business. She wastes no time on empty words. The trainmen respect her. She does every thing about the station but handle the baggage. There are plenty of stout Mexicans of the other sex hanging about for that work.
 CODcba BI3Gca Is so well esteemed by 1 t,a rE -t,, has been twice promoted, until now she has one Of the most important stations under her care. She does all the tele- graphing, besides attending to the re- ceiving and shipping of freight. It was her knowledge of telegraphing that got the young woman her first recognition. Her father and two brothers were oper- ators. She learned to use the key. A station was given to her where there was not much to do besides the tele. graphing. Her aptitude for railroad work attracted the attention of General Manager Morcom, and the promotion followed. Concha Blanca lives i'll the station. Her mother keeps house for her, and younger sister sits at the tele- graph table learning the vocation of the new woman ill Mexico The conductors have got in the way of pointing out to travellers Senorita Concha along with the ruins of the ancient city on the mountain top, the site where the battle | of Tehuacan was fought, the hieroglyph- ics on the cliff at the entrance to RiC !

The old Mans Decision,

''I dunno what to do with him, "said the old gentleman. ''He won t work, he won't study, spends half the day fishin and the other half loafin, smashes the crockery ware if the breakfast don't suit him and walks and talks in his sleep. I've had seven doctors to examine him, and they're all at sea about him. So I've just arrived at the conclusion that he's one of these darned long haired geniuses that's built to write books and have monuments on the installment plan when they die of starvation P'-Atlanta Constitution.

Almost shivering Sn

other direction. Almost shiverIng Tn his excitement and eagerness, he watched his enemy slip into the box and, emerging therefrom a moment later, with a swift movement make for the place where he had been working.
 Now was the time for Private Smith to act. Turning to resume his march, he made pretense of observing Fasl- dois' doings for the first time, and with a roar of rage called upon the convict to halt. He covered the man with his rifle.
 Halt, therer' he shouted. Hands up, or I'll fire"
 And Vaudois, speeches. with amaze ment and white with apprehension, Obeyed.
 The cOmmOtiOn that ensued was as tOEiShing. A warden came rushing for ward, and number of blue jackets and marines hurried from the Ravager In an instant the warden had Vaudols handcuffed, and then demanded an ex planatiOn. Private Smith lowered his rife and went forward to where the others were standing.
 Well, what's the matter?" demand ed the warder, sharply.
 T saw that fellow coming out of my box, that's all," Private Smith an swered. My greatcoat is there."
 And in the pockets-?"

 Yaudois. after darting q glance Of fierce rage upon tue soldie-. with imPre- cartons rnop his tongue, was taken, struggling, to the guard-roOm, and, be- ing searched, the articles named were, surely enough, discovered upon his person. AS Private Smith had hoped. the tempta ation to take the silver piece had been irresistible.
 "The soldier fellow gave them to me," he cried, sullenly.
 But Private Smith only smiled 'Now. why should l give a convict half a. crown?" he demanded, with quiet pro- test.
 That was sufficient The soldier turned to depart; and as he did so, he bent upon the convict sly glance and gave dry little chuckle just after the manner of Vaudois' own chuckling laughter which he had initiated a thousand times in the days long past.
 Vaudois started and stared. By heavens, you are"
 But door closed between them, and the soldier heard no more.
 Vaudois was punished. He was drafted to the heavy labor gangs; and the much desired ticket-of-leaVe had to be worked for over again.
 And I fear Private Smith felt more delight at having overreached his old enemy than compunction for the rather tricky way he had managed it!-Cham- bers Journal.

 Of tho bride, where d gentleman and a lady were standing apart from the oth- CT guests, he went directly to 1t, unWit- Uingiy coming to a stop between two royal personages.
 The American was not aware of the fact that he was face to face with one of the queens daughters, and had turn ed his back upon another member of the royal family. He stood quietly looking about, hoping to see some ac- Quaintance in the company with whom he might have a chat; and soon became uncomfortably conscious that he was attracting attention, and that the hos tess and bride were casting uneasy glances in the direction of the corner where he had taken shelter. While the drawing room was crowded, the con- pany of guests with one consent avoid ed the secluded corner where he and his two royal companions were sta toned.
 An acquaintance in the background perceived his mistake, and coming within hailing distance motioned to him. He left his two companions in exclu- sive occupation of the corner, turning his back upon both as he edged his way through the throng while everybody stared at him. When he reached the spot where his acquaintance was wait ing for him, the stage whisper was breathed into his ear:
 You have been poaching on royal preserves. You are privileged charac- ter because you are an American, but no Englishman ventures to turn his back upon a prince or princess. Peo- pie were staring you out of countenance because they took 1t for granted that you must be royal parsonage, yet they were unable to identify you"
 The answer might have been made that every American is a sovereign by the divine right Of equality of free ciCi- zenShip; but this would have been a meaningless pleasantly In an English drawing room, where social etiquette aas a sanctity superior to loyalty .o ~~--~~-.-,I- principle.
 The American thanked his friend for rescuing him from an embarrassing po- sition, and then stood by and watched the corner where royalty was isolated from too close contact with the world of wealth and fashion.
 No guest approached the royal pair. Their presence was an act of cOnde- scension to the host and hostess, and they remained on exhibition as the pat rons of this social function without having their corner invaded. Every body was careful not to approach them too closely, and there was a general sense of relief when they departed, and the necessity for backing away from them on side tracks was removed Youths Companion.
