dealer, is having granite steps placed in
position in front of the residence now in

TOMBS OF THE MINGs.
(From Leslie's Weekly.l


3 In a small valley at the foot of the
mou ntains, a little over 80 miles north
OF Pekin, lie the tombs of the Nings, the
sturdy Chinese family that aroused their
people to throw off the yoke of Mongol
rule that had been fastened upon them
by the great Kulbai Khan. High on the
IN curtains, overlooking the tOnbs, runs
the grim line OF the great wall, Which
hey defended so long against the Man
chu invaders, who finally overthrow them
and established the Using dynasty in
their ancient capital. Coming north
from Pekin toward the tOnbs you pass,
on the right, the famous summer palace
of the Mings, the magnificent Yuen
Ming Yuen (rOund, brilliant garden),
now in ruins, having been burned by the
French and English in the war of 1860.
On the left rises the beautiful Wan ShO
Shan, or Myriad Ages Hill, with its
marble terraces and porcelain temples,
which was also wrecked by the allied
force in 1860, but has recently been re-
stored and occupied by the present en-
press dOWager.
Rising gently from the plain into the
valley, the road enters between the line of
giant figures that stand on either side Of
the GauseWay leading up to the tombs.
First stand the giant BONES, or Budd-
hist priests, for the founder of the dynas-
ty, Gnu Yuan-Chang, had been a priest
until he heard the words of the oracle in
structing him to lay aside the robes of
his priesthood for the weapons Of q
soldier and to deliver his country from
the MongOls Next are the giant horses,
the grifiins. the elephants, and the cam
els who served him in this life and whose
spiritual bodies, according to Chinese
superstition, continue to serve him in
his spiritual life.
Beyond these lines of images is row
of columns, insignia of sovereignty, lead
ing up to the Temple OF the Tablet,
which stands over an immense stone
tablet, on which is carved q record Of the
origin and deeds of the dynasty. Beyond
this are the temples and halls covering
the graves of the different members Of
the family 4YhO sav on the throne at Pc
kin (northern capital) and a memorial
arch to the founder and the first emperor
of the dynasty, who ruled at Nankin
(souUhern capital) and is buried near
that city.
The tOmbs were built by the Emperor
Cheng Tsu, the second Of his dynasty and
the fourth son of its founder. At the
time of his fathers death, in A. d. $780,
this emperor was reigning in Pekin as a
vicerOy, with the title OF prince Of Yen,
and upon his accession to The throne he
removed the capital of the empire to
Pekin, where it has since remained

"The prisoner must have had friends.

lips, for Mrs. Garrison dropped at the
instant and lay half under the wheels
