A curious instance. and by no means a
fiattering one, OF Chinese methods OF gov
eminent has just been supplied by. The ar
rival OF Sheng Taotai from Shanghai.
This gentleman holds several important
posts. and among others has the appoint
ment OF director OF railways He is also
the administrator OF the Chinese tele-
graphs. and has an excellent reputation
among foreigners fer his tolerance and
openm.ndneSs. Recently he was called here
by command of the emperor 10 confer

esty is so eager 10 adopt The chief NJ
ficials of Picking hailed his advent with de-
light. as Ii at last gave them the oppor-
;unity of squeeze" which had be- n
quite impossible while Sheng was So far
distant at Shanghai
The modus operandi is quite n usual and
an everyday one, and deserves notice.
The gates Of Picking are farmed out 10
high officials, chiefly princes Of royal
blood. All merchandise is examined, and
is passed on paymea; Of L small tax. But
when an official Ike Sheng comes in from
whom they are DESTROYS Of exacting a good
round sum- the procedure is altered. In
this particular case Sheng was given 10

The answer was $0G0 taeis. This was
paid or promised. and Sleug proceeded on
his journey. probably glad 70 have gotten

and custom ne was stopped at the inner
So altogether this unfortunate official
called TO the capital by. the emperor's or
der had TO pay over $3.50 before he was
allowed 10 20 to his duties
