RUNNING AN EMPIRE
IS NO SOFT SNAP
II You Think II Is, Ask the Emperor OF
China.
DOwAGHR EMPRESS Is THR BOSS
Kuang Hsu Shut Up in His Purple
Forbidden City with His bow and
Arrows--The Grand Council, the
Ministry of War, the Tsung-ii. va
men and the Men Who Constitute
Tbem--DaiiyD Diet of the Brother OF
From the Westminster Review.

There is a young man in Pekin who
would be trembling now in his skin if
he were only able to realize properly
the danger that is threatened to him
ana his empire by some of those very
kind friends who have come to him
dona ferentes. He is the Emperor
Kuang Hsu, euphemistically known,
among other outrageous titles, as the
Son Of Heaven ard Brother of the Sun.
He is the most secluded monarch on
earth. When he appears in public,
which is very rarely, mating is hung
up in front of all the houses, and strips
of cloth are stretched across the alleys
and side streets through which the i'm
perial procession must pass. He is in
variably accompanied by vast retinue
of soldiers and an army of courtiers,
ard the man WHO peeps around the cor
ner or has his eyes fastened TO a hole
in the mating is liable to be blinded
by n bullet or an arrow. When he is
at home he is carefully hidden away in
the centre of the Chinese city, at
pckin, and you have to go through
three sets of walls-simply an impossi-
BILE task for a European visitOr-before
you approach the building in which he
is kept, guarded by eunuchs.

BARRIERS ITO BURN"

First, there are the immense walls of
the great Tartar city, which are sixty
feet thick and as tall as a London fiat.
These inclose a large area filled up with
the houses of Tartars and government
buildings, which run round a space the
middle of which is known as the I'm
perial City. This has a high wall of
gray bricks about six miles in circum-
ference, and it includes the outside
palaces, the pleasure grounds, and the
temples of the sacred city, The en-
peror is kept inside this, and his eXclu-
siVe quarters are known as the Purple
Forbidden City. The walls of this last
pen are rightly guarded. They inclose
the quarters of the emperor, his family,
the ladies of the royal harem, and the
thousands of eunuchs who make up the
servants, and include buildings for
court ceremonies, which are arranged
round the sides of a ridge of palaces
running from the north to the south.
The emperor himself lives in the north
western part of the pen, and the En-
press Dowager has a palace near by.
In another part of the inclosure is the
hall of literary abyss, or the imperial
library, and in this the cabinet officers
tabout whom more anon) hold their
sessions. Pekin is a huge city. credited
with 100000 inhabitants, but apart
from the eunuchs, the toadies, and the
woman who haunt the Purple Forbid
den City it is doubtful if 5000 of this
vast number have ever set eyes upon
the monarch, and among Europeans
and American it is only the ambassa-
dors who are Permitted to gaze upon
his august countenance.

VALUES ARE SIMPLY
AN ACCOUNTING
TO THE PEOPLE.

If properly regarded, values are sim
ply an accounting which the merchant
makes unto the people for that public
confidence which admits him to the en-
ioyment of success. Consequently there
is no credit-dne merchant for pro-
viding values; but great contempt
merited if he disburses anything else.
Again, values are the passports to
10 mercantile standing, wherein there
is no tolei am for anyone who deals in
inferior Merchandise. A merchant
must deal in goods becoming merchant
if lie ould have standing in the bust
ness world as well as standing with the
community.
1t is quite unnecessary for us to dwell
upon the palpable enjoyment, desirable
from handling the best merchandise
there is rnade. We have never eXper-
fenced the self-reproach which must be
generated by knowing one is not doing
the best one can. If we appear to be
happy in our business it is because
there is nothing to make us otherwise.
We are doing our utmost all the time
for the people, and they are doing their
utmost toward us in return, and every
thing and everybody are satisfied.

water works.

Mr.. Thos. A. Dunn, of Scranton,
Pa, is in the city, talking water
works, and will ask the town coun-
Gil to grant him and his company
franchise, and says if it isgranted
water works of the frst-class will
be built for the town at once.
Now is the time to act, and act
quickly, if the town really desires
water works and fire protection.
To grant fair, liberal franchise
for this purpose, in which both
the Company and the town are
protected, can but add much to
the value of the property of the
town, and also do much toward
reducing the heavy rates of insur-
ance we are now paying. lie the
council means business let the
I body act promptly, and not let this
opportunity slip by. Mr.. Dunn
represents a strong Company,
which is backed up by the best of
reference, and if the franchise is
granted them, will proceed to build
the water works, yet this year, for
the town. giving good and per
feet system, at fair and liberal
water rents. Mr.. Dunn is now
building or is about to commence
the erection of water works at
Pomeroy.
Let Point Pleasant "keep up
with the procession" or drop to the
rear. The matter is with the
Council whether we shall have
water works or not. None of our
own citizens will ever build them,
and therefore franchise should
be'granted this company, on guard
ed conditions.
