The world is about to see the last OF

and was soon to make them sensible of
the error of their ways. The first arti-
Gle in the Mantchoo-C Chinese creed was
that their ruler and emperor, 1.-The SOL
itary man and son of heaven" was far
superior to any other sovereign that
ever sat on throne. Now, the English
had an idea that their beloved queen
was an Improvement on this ''son OF
heaven and they determined to make
the Celestials acknowledge at least her
equality, if nothing more.
This was at the beginning of the IA
nous opium war; which. though it
was caused primarily by the endeavors
of the British to foist the opium of
their Indian empire upon China and
had it's origin i'll that indefensible
scheme, ultimately resulted in the
opening of China to the world. AS to

The French and English were con-

with the imperial government and di-

only intercourse with 1t had hitherto
been through the provincial governors.
In the early summer of 1858 the treaties

TO present his credentials unless he
would perform the humiliating 'ko-
tow" which consisted in knocking his
forehead on the floor before the en-
peror. This, of course, he refused to
do. and rctreated to the coast.
In the attempt to reopen negotiations
20 members of the British party were
taken by Chinese general and sub
jected to such fortunes that l3 of them
died of their injuries. One of the sur
vivors was The late Lord Loeb, who
died few weeks ago. In reprisal for
this infraction of the treaty the allied
French and English forces marched
upon Picking in the autumn of 1850, aft

The foreigner who had served the
