occult power welded by these bodies is expert

their domestic servants. The bepigtaed cooks

pockets at their masters expense, their faVOrite
practice being to oVercharge their employers in

that there is nothing for ii but to pay this tax
with resignation. 1t is useless to discharge a
servant who habitually makes you pay more
than the market price for your meat Vegeta-

inhumanity than his companions. They were
brutally bound with ropes, which although
drawn tight as human force could draw them,

provided only with food of the most Ioathsome

broken off, and, in the hope of teaching the
Chinese a lesson the Summer Palace, from
which the Emperor and his courtlers had gloat-

the ground by fire. A sum Of 100000 was also
obtained from the Chinese as compensation to
the families of the men they had murdered.
