the people against nlm anu He uds 4elb l at the same time the deadly enmity of i the advisers of the throne, and even of : the throne itself.
 Ii Hung Chang rose from clerk in the civil service, and the blood of a noble ancestry did not flow in his veins. Any Chinese may become a no- bleman of the highest rank through a series of graduations. Regular civil service examinations permit him to ad- vance step by step. Even Goolie may become a prime minister, and, though highly improbable. 1t is not impossible, that a prime minister, with the powers and cruel fate against him, might become a Coolie.
 L, Hung Chang fought his way up in the face Of the bitterest opposition, and as he forced his way up he forced China up with hin, compelling her to adopt improvements that have. given the country her present standing among progressive nations.
 Romantic literature doesn't furnish a stronger story than that which covers the rise of Ii Hung Chang from ob.. scurity to fame. He was born Febru~ ary II, 1922, and lis biographers have failed to find any great names in his pedigree.
 When twenty-five years old he was locally known for his erudition, and was appointed to small office. It was in 1861, when 39 years old, that he dem- Onstrated what kind of metal was in him. He had reached the position of taotai, or prefeet, of the district of Xii angsu, which was then hotbed of re. volt. His success in putting down the rebellion there was so remarkable that year later he was appointed acting general of the forces about Shanghai and Sung Kiang. There is where his masterful knowledge of European af- fairs showed itself He was the one man in China who recognized the in- feriority of the Chinese arms and the incompetency of it's military code.
 He engaged European generals and made the army learn the tactics of modern warfare. It was during that period that Chinese" Gordon, after- wards killed in Khartoum by Fl Mae- his troops while defending the British garrison there, was engaged. So also were the French generals, Bungoyeine and Giguei. This was what is known as the Tai-Ping rebellion, perhaps she largest and bloodiest of Chinese his- tory. More than half the entire coun- try had risen, the purpose being to restore the Ming dynasty, which the Tartars had turned out.
 1t is on record that 27,000,000 persons were killed during this rebellion. But 1t was put down finally by the directing arm of Li Hung Chang, and in recog- nition of that invaluable service he was made governor of Kiangsu, impe- rial commissioner for foreign trade, general of all the Chinese forces, and supreme adviser to the throne.

Railroad Women in Norway.

In Norway women have for some time been employed in the railroad and postofHee service and are now receiving appointments as supervisors of the railway stations. They receive reports from conductors, answer questions in German and English, call out trains in the waiting-rooms, ring the station bell at the departing of the train and tele- graph it's departure to the next station. They perform the duties of government telegraph operators as well as those of postmasters and b&gga agemen, and do them well.~=Boston Globe.

as we'll as by many members of the
Governors staff and the public in gen.
eral. He wore blue sack coat and a
pair of fashionable trousers of gray.
There was nothing in his conduct to
indicate that he felt above the multi

the place to greet him.

it, said a visitor.

replied the new Governor, 'for 1 ex-

MURDERER LINCHCoMB.
The Fiend Whom Governor Budd
Has Pardoned.

Alfred r. Linchcomb, whose sentence
Governor Budd committed the other
day to the extent of Iberating him
from the State Prison, is the mulattO
who, on the night of February %, 1872,
murdered and robbed a young colored
woman named Elizabeth Thompson in
this city.
The crime was a most brutal one, for
which Linchcomb wes sentenced to the
penitentiary by Judge Ramage for the
term of his natural life. His victim
was a young woman who had been en-
ployed as domestic, and was known
to have saved up quite little sum of
money by her industry and economy.
She lived on the west side of Eighth
street, at the south corner Of the alley
between ] and K, just opposite Fire
mems Hail. About 3 o'clock on the
morning of February 18th the place
was found to be on fire, and after the
firemen had subdued the flames the
murdered woman was found in her bed
in a rear room.
Her skull had been crushed with
some weapon, and she was horribly
beaten about the head The room had
been ransecked, and the murdered
woman's money, gold watch and other
valuables were missing. After MUIR
dering the woman Linchcomb set fire
to the place, in the hope of hiding his
his crime.
Suspicion rested on Linchcomb, who,
with one James Williams, was arrested
that same night. Williams was subse-
quently discharged. Linchcomb was
prosecuted by Henry Starr, and defend
ed by S. c. benson. The witnesses for
the prosecution were George H. Har-

A Paris correspondent has set the ru-
NOR afioat that war is possible between
Spain and France. Such an outcome is
hard to believe, because the two countries
have been for years on unusually init
mate terms. You cannot tell what will
happen between nations, but you can tell
what will happen when dyspeptic takes
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. His health
will improve His appetite will come
back His mouth will not taste badly in
the morning He will not be subject to
dizzy spells and his head will be clear.
His disposition will be more agreeable,
and his bilious look will disappear. His
blood will be purified and his kidneys
stimulated to perform their work proper
ly. All these things are accomplished by

The TAX coLLEcToRsH|P.
b. N. BuGBEY's CONTEST FOR
THE OFFICE.
Judge Hughes Hears Evidence In
the Case-To be Resumed
This Morning.

In the absence of Judge Johnson the
matter of the petition of B. N. Bugbey
for an order. of court to GUST Sheriff
Frank L. johnson from the Office Of Tax
Collector was heard by Judge Hughes
yesterday. Chauncey H. Dunn appeared
for the petitioner, and Hiram w. john
son and Charles T. Jones for the re-
spondent.
Counsel for the Sheriff objected to the
proceedings on the ground that Bug
bey's proper remedy was by quo war
ranto and in the name of the people,
on relation of the petitioner. The ques-
ton at issue, they held, was the title to
the office of Tax Collector, and that this
was a question in which the people,
more than the claimant for the Office
were interested.
Mr.. Dunn held that there should first
be evidence heard by the court rela-
tive to all the acts leading up to the
present condition Of affairs, which the
court should have in order to determine
the point raised by the Sheriff.
Judge Hughes decided to hear the
evidence, which was put in pro- and con-
Deputy County Clerk Gallop testified
to the PRONUNCIATION by the Supervisors
of the election proclamation calling for
the election of Sheriff and for Tax
Collector separately, and to the result
of the canvass of the election returns
by the Supervisors.
Mr. Bugbey testified to having re-
ceived a certificate of election as Tax
Collector, the filing Of his bond, to the
making Of a demand on Sheriff Johnson
for the office, and the latter's refusal
to vacate and leave him in possession.
Sheriff Johnson testified to the fact
that he had been in possession of the
office; that it and the Sheriff's office
are as one; that he Cor his deputies)
have been and still are in full posses
sion of the Office, the vault, the safe
and the books.
Some other testimony was taken to
complete the showing necessary to be
made to establish the exact positions
held by the parties to the action, and
then the arguments were begun. MI.
Dunn had not completed his side OF
the case when court adjourned in the
afternoon, and arguments will be re-
sumed this morning.
