TsI AN A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
For Forty Years the Ruling Spirit Of
Chinese EmDire.

For Forty Years the Ruling Spirit Of
Chinese Empire.
The reported death Of the Empress
Regent Isl An. at the age of 70, di-
rected attention to the extraordinary
career Of woman who for more than
forty years has been the ruling spirit
Of the Chinese Empire, although for
more than 1000 years the native preju-
dice against the exercise Of authority
by the fair sex had been but twice
overcome. Had she been descendant
OF Confucius, or the Ming dynasty,
which preceded the present reigning
family, or a high-born Manchu, her
rise to autocratic power would have
been more Ineligible. AS a matter of
fact, she began life under grave dis
abilities, being Of humble origin,
though her parents are said to have
been Manchus. Adopted by Manchu
family Of considerable means, she was
trained In the accomplishments which
the Chinese prize In women, but her
intellect owed nothing to the influence
Of an invigorative education. She got
her opportunity when she became a
member of the household of the Empe-
ror Hien Flung, who reigned from 1850
to 1851. She had no son by him, but,
strange to say. she commended herself
20 strongly to the Empress Dowager,
the mother of Tung Che, the next SOW.
