THE STORY OF YIN LING, There once lived in the city of Canton, China, a poor family named Tszun. The father had once owned many large and prosperous rice fields throughout the province of Quang Tung, but his grief at the death of his wife had been so great as to cause him to neglect all his busi ness lor his opium pipe, and little by lit tle all Lis possessions had been lost. Now be was compelled to work almost as a slave in one of the big fields which had formerly belonged to him in order to support his two children, Yin Ling, a pretty dark eyed girl of 13 years, and hia son, Ko .Juu, 5 years of age. But the terrible appetite for the opium often caused Tszun to neglect his two little ones, and then gentle Yin Ling would weave a bamboo mat and sell it to one of the neighbors that her darling little brother might not go hungry. Yin Ling even cut a hole in the wall between the two little rooms of their homo so one lamp would give light to both rooms, that her slender purse need not be overtaxed. Finally the little family became ao poverty stricken that there were many, many nights when the two children sought their little bamboo mats and crieil themselves to sleep for the want of their supi>er of rice and tea; and, worse than all, the opium had caused a terrible change to come over Tszun, for he wae no longer even kind to his babies. One day he came to Yin Ling and told her that he was going to take her away and sell her. lie said he would have to do it to save himself and little Ko Jou from starvation. Poor Yin Ling cried long and bitterly all that night, but she knew that her father's will must be done. The last evening was a sad one for the little family. Early in the evening Yin Ling kissed Ko Jou while he was still asleep and went away with her father to the great city. All day until nightfall they wandered about tbo streets. Tszun at length found a Tidoo general who paid 400 taels into bis grasping hand. The general was the commander of the troops of all southern China, and, being a distant relative to the emperor, Hein Fung, had influence with the im perial family at Peldn. He was imme diately fascinated with Yin Ling’s pret ty face and modest actions, and took her home to his wife as her special maid. The general’s wife was greatly pleased with her gift, and at once ordered a set of pretty robes and gowns for her new maid servant. She then put her in charge of the private boudoir in which she received all the distinguished ladies who called upon her. The sudden change from a life of pinching poveity to one of luxury and comfort brought out the gentle nature and true disposition of Yin Ling as rap idly ;ts a sun scorched lily renews life under the cooling drops of a spring shower. Her hands became white and soft and her amiability, as well as her radiant face, soon became so noticeable that the ladies of the household became attracted to her and showered many gifts upon her. . The old general was especially delight ed with her, and when a year had passed he and his wife decided not to have Yin Ling as a slave but as a daughter. Yin Ling was summoned. “Yin Ling,” said the general, “from this day you are no longer to be a slave in my household.” The bright smile faded from the maiden’s face and the tears gathered Auicldy in her eyes. Trussing she turned to go. “Stay, Yin Ling,” cried the general. "You must remain, not as my slave, but as my daughter.’’ Yin Ling's face brightened, and smil ing through her tears she ran to the gen era! and fell sobbing on his breast. He kissed her tenderly. “You have made ine so happy,” said she, “that 1 would gladly die for you.” The delighted general bought a com plete new outfit of gorgeous silk robes for Yin LiBg and a special tutor was provided to teach her how to read and write, accomplishments enjoyed only by daughters of high officials. Being naturally intelligent Yin Ling progressed rapidly in her studies and in the mean time her newly adopted mother and other ladies of the household had not neglected her other accomplishments, such as the embroidery of the fine golden silk and the playing of the little two stringed banjo. At the age of 16 years Yin Ling was known as one of the most beautiful women in the nrovince of Quang Tung. About this*time the venerable old Tidoo general, on account of his age and the great service he had been to the em pire, was recalled to Pekin for promo tion and honors as one of the heroes of the great Tai Ping rebellion. It was always customary for such dis tinguished officials when they were to receive new honors jo take to the em peror some rare gift as a tokaa of their respect and loyalty. The general wanted to present to the emperor something especially fine, but he could not decide what it would be. One day a happy thought flashed across hi3 mind. And hia face, which had been for some time clouded by deep thinking, lighted into a bright smile. He called hia wife and told her he thought he would present Yin Ling to the emperor as hia token. “It i3 well,” said she; “what could be more honorable for our little daughter than a home in the imperial palace?” When Yin Ling was told what was re quired of her she smiled, but there was a tinge of sadness in her face. The thought of becoming a member of the imperial family was a distinction of which she had never dared to dream “If it is your desire, father,” said she, “I will go. My life and welfare are in your hands.” This answer pleased the general great ly, and ho kissed his daughter affection ately. Preparations were immediately made for the journey to Pekin, and early the next morning Yin Ling entered her se dan chair and was carried rapidiy away. After a journey of nearly three months ever big mountains and across many riv ers the Tidoo and his party arrived at the imperial palace. They were at once admitted, and after the general had re ceived his new honors he stepped for ward and presented the beautiful Yin Ling to the astonished emperor. Hein Fnng was almost bewildered by the wonderful grace and beauty of the blushing maiden who stood before him. The emperor was charmed with the ■ew addition to his household, notwith standing the fact that he already had seventy-three wives and many, many children. But, strange to say, among all the children there was not one boy. Yin Ling was given an elegantly decorated suit of apartments and named by the emperor “Que Fay,” er “Exalted Auxiliary.” Two years later a son was born, and the event was heralded throughout the empire, as it was the first male child in the entire household. Yin Ling was his mother, and she was immediately raised to the title of “Wong Tai Ho,” or “August Empress.” A few years after this she gave birth to a second prince, and the entire king dom rejoiced. In the year 1865 the emperor Hein Fung died, and his ?on Tung Chee, who was but 5 years of age, ascended the throne in the arms of his mother, Yin Ling, who became at once empress re gent. Thus she continued conducting the affairs of the great empire for twelve years, when Tung Chee died. Then her second son mounted the throne with his mother, who again as sumed the title of empress regent, as the king was but 14 years of age. Yin Ling decided to find some trace of her family, and sent to the province of Quang Tung special envoys to look np her wretched relatives. Tbe officer in charge of tha envoy found that the father had died five years after he had sold his daughter, and the boy was now grown up and living some where in the province. It took the mandarins many weary months before they conld get any trail ef Ko Jon. He was at length found working aa a farm hand in a small vil lage. Although a stalwart, flne looking fel low, he was deplorably ignorant. When he saw two handsomely dressed men with long, black satin robes, heavily jeweled, with strange shaped hats sur mounted by big red coral buttons, and great, gorgeous peacock feathers dan gling at their sides, coming toward him, he was terribly frightened and turned and ran at the top of his speed. In a few minutes a dozen fleet footed soldiers had surrounded him, and he begged piteously to be let go. “What do you arrest me for?* he asked. “I have done nothing wicked lor years.” Then one of the mandarins stepped forward, knelt low to the ground, and all the soldiers and guards did the same. The mandariu finally arose and told Ko Jou of his good fortune, and at once pre pared him for a suitable appearance that would become the uncle of an em peror. The meeting between the empress and her only remaining relative was an af fecting but a joyful one, and Yin Ling ordered tbo entire city to celebrate for two days. Yin Ling at once ordered an annnal salary of 500,600 taels ($750,000) to be paid to Ko Jon, who received the title of “Imperial Grand Uncle.” Ho was also placed in the hands of experienced tutors, and today is one of We leading men in the empire. Nor were the good old Tidoo general and his family forgotten. They were given apartments in the imperial palace, where they are living today. Yin Ling is now 45 years of age and retains much of her youthful beauty. And this is the trno story of the little slave girl who has ruled China for the past thirty years, aud let us hope will continue to rule for thirty years to come. —New York World. Winter Weather. When stems of elms may rise in rew. Dark brown, from hillocks under snow, And woods may reach as black os night, By sloping fleldeof cleanest white; If shooters by tbe snowy rick. Where trees are high and wood is thick. Can mark the tracks the game may prick, They like the winter weather. Or where may spread the gray blue sheet Of ice, for skaters’ gliding feet, That they uplift, from side to side, Long yards, and sit them down to slide; Of sliders, one that totters slack Of limb, and one that’s on his back, And ene upright that keeps his track. Hare fun in winter weather. When we at eight, in snow and gloom. May seek some neighbor's lighted room. Though snow may show no path before The house, we still eon find the door. And there, as rouod tbe brands may spread The creeping fire ef cheery red, Our feet from snow, from wind our bead. Are worm in winter weather. Wherever day may give our road. By hills or hollows oversnowed. By windy gaps or sheltered nooks. Or bridged ice of frozen brooks. Still may we all, as night may come, Know where to find a peaceful home, And glowing fire for fingers numb With cold in winter weather. —William Borneo. A Kan of Many Wounds. Henry Gibbs, who was shot through the body Sunday night, is again able to be out This man is a walking bullet pouch. He is a man 51 years r^d, and was born in Clay county, Kemucky. Two years ago he moved to Jellico, and since his residence there he has become involved in many difficulties. The first was with Thomas Cotton, who shot him in the left ankle, the ball lodg ing in the joint The second time he was shot by Nathan Collins, the ball taking effect in his left knee joint, and remaining there. The third affray origi nated at Cumberland Gap, when he was ambushed by seven men. Colan Turner shot Gibbs in the right side with two loads of buckshot and birdshot. Over 200 shot have been picked from his side and shoulder. At the same time A1 Cole shot him with a 44-calibre in the right breast, the ball coming out under the shoulder blade. Gibbs got three of his wounds in this battle—the fourth, fifth and sixth times by Andy Griswold, one ball taking effect in the right breast, another through the right shoulder, and the third entering his left thigh, and, ranging downward, lodging in the fleshy part of the leg. The sixth time was Sunday night, in a diffi culty with Harry Broughton, who shot him through the body, the ball entering on the left side, and was cut from under the skin on the right side. This laid him up for seven days. He has been cut fifteen times, and carries the scars to prove his assertion. He does not seem any the worse for his wounds, and talks in a joking manner about his many shooting and cutting affrays.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Pre-Raphael! t ism. Pre-Raphaelilism was a literary rather than an artistic movement. It was an echo of the influence of Wordsworth and Coleridge, of the Tractarian move ment, and of the Gothic revival. It was a manifestation of certain moral and philosophical preoccupations that have little in common with the permanent acceptation of art We might even go further and say that Rossetti and Burne- Jones are great artists not because they were pre-Raphaelites, but in spite of pre-Raphaelitism.—Theodore Child in Harper's. It is stated that primary batteries are no longer used for telegraphic service at the Central telegraph office in Berlin, storage batteries charged by the dynamo electric machines of a lighting station being substituted as a supply of opera ting current. ._ Vicissitudes of a Spend thrift. Twenty years ago William Dodsworth, a wealthy citizen of Ohio, married a Hamilton, O., heiress, and arranged to 6pend the honeymoon in the east. In stead of taking a train the happy groom arranged for relays of coaches between Hamilton and the City of Brotherly Love. The affair was Silked of all over the country, and reports of the novel trip published in the newspapers of thi» country and Europe. The groom cre ated a furor by spending money lav ishly, and lighting $1 cigars with $5 and $10 bills. The other morning the happy groom of twenty years ago was a prisoner on the yellow bench in the police court on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was fined $5 and costs, and for want of one of the bills with which he formerly lighted his cigars he was sent to the workhouse. — Cincinnati Cor. Chatta nooga Times. Twt Lire* Savtd by a Spiles. Mrs. Fred Robinson, a farmer’s wife, was coming to town today on the track of the Lake Erie and Western, wheeling her baby carriage. She was about half way across the long and very high trestle spanning Sugar creek, jnet west of town, when she saw a train coming around a curve near the trestle at high speed. Mrs. Robinson, clasping her baby in her arms, in her fright leaped from the trestle and would have been crashed to death upon the ground below had not her dress caught upon a spike. She, with her baby in her arms, hung sus pended in the air till the train was stopped and they were removed from their perilous position.—Bloomington (Ilia.) Cor. Chicago Herald. H.w a Kan Panl;md His Ann. C. Hagermann, a resident of Morris- ville, has lost the use of his right hand in a singular manner. He went to bed as usual one night a week ago, and fell asleep with his right hand under his head. On awakening in the morning he could not raise his arm. It was par alyzed, and all efforts thus far to put the blood in circulation have failed. It is thought it will be months before he will be able to use his hand again.—Philadel phia Record. An increase of 296 national banks in the United States is shown by the an nual report of the comptroller of the cur rency duriDg the twelve months which ended Sept. 30. This is the largest num ber in a single year since 1865. The ag gregate capitalization of these new in stitutions is mostly in the growing regions of the northwest and southwest. Hannibal Hamlin's extreme age ha* but slightly bent his tall form, and he still walks down the street with a swing ing stride. He is usually attired in the old black swallow tail of ante-bellum style, and he has never discarded the stock and dicky of the old time states man. His hat is the regulation silk article. According to The Albany Express a young man arrived in Schenectady, N. Y., last summer seeking employment. For $100 he secured an option on a plot of ground, for which he was to pay $7,650 on Dec. 1. “He has sold one-half his property for $13,000.” -sat — I The French Navy. France is the slowest shipbuilder among the naval powers. The frequent changes in the head of the French naval j department have brought in officers (the j French minister of marine is always a | naval officer) of widely different views. I Work on vessels not embodying the ideas of a new chief was stopped npon his assuming control of affairs and await ed the coming of another man. A fair j sample of this is the Courbet, formerly ; called the Fondroyant. This vessel, I laid down in 1876, was completed in 1886. The Magenta, the Charles Mar tel and the Brennus were laid down Beven or eight years ago- The Magenta is the only one of the three that has even yet been launched. The present French building pro gramme calls for ten first class battle ships. If they are completed by 1900 France will have broken all her previous records. Three were to be laid down during 1890. A sudden change in the naval administration may postpone their completion indefinitely. The latest additions to the French navy are the Marceau and the Neptune, the Magenta, just launched, and the Hoche, which has been completed abont a year. The latter vessel differs from the other three in several essential points, bnt the changes were introduced in building. They were laid down from the same designs. A good idea of the Magenta, Marceau, Neptune class may be obtained from the following list of their features; Their length is 330 feet, beam 65}, feet draught 28 feet, displacement 10,580 tons. The armor consists of a complete water line bolt of 17} inches maximmn thickness, and four barbette gun towers of 15} inches. The battery is 4 13.4 inch breech loading rifled guns and 17 5.5 inch rapid fire gnus. Their estimated speed is 174 knots and coal capacity 600 tons. These three ships were all laid down in 1880, and as none is yet actually complete, they are additional examples of the slow ship construction in th® French navy.—New York Herald. Petty Shoplifters. Shopping seems to be as brisk this year as it was last. The large shops tip town have been crowded almost every day in tbe past week, and the extent of the buying does not suggest any unusual scarcity of money. Most of the great emporiums find Jt necessary in the holi day season *to double and sometimes treble their detective forces. “It is am ateur shoplifting that causes us the most trouble,” explained the chief detective in an extensive establishment in Twenty- third street. “We know nearly all of the professionals and can spot them at the door, but there are a large number of women who come in here without the slightest intention of stealing, but who yield to the temptation to pick up little things that happen to please their fancy. “They see lots of pretty articles scat tered about loosely and apparently un watched, aud almost unconsciously they commit petty thefts. Such women, 1 presume, do not realize that they are stealing, and there are instances con stantly occurring where their consciences compel them to return the pilfered arti cles anonymously. Arrests, did you say? No; we seldom cause an arrest to be made. It is the policy of our firm to avoid scenes and scandals. When we detect any person in the act of stealing, a quiet word is generally all that is necessary to secure the returii of the stolen article, and an ‘amateur shop lifter’ is not likely to repeat the offense after having once been found out.”— New York Times. Th* Ailments of Royalty. Of late there have been some sinister rumors concerning the health of the Prince of Wales’ eldest son, and every one knows how strongly insanity pre vails in the house of Brunswick. The other day the czar’s uncle went raving mad at the autumn maneuvers, and the czar himself is suffering from some mys terious nervous complaint. From Ger many again we hear of a return of the chronic illness which afflicts the young emperor and threatens to bring him early to the grave. The practical separation of the emperor and empress of Austria is a proof of the unhealthiness of the Hapsburgs. We know at what an early age King Alfonso of Spain died, and that his little son is very delicate, and was a short time ago 60 desperately ill that every one despaired of saving his life. The present sultan reigns only because the rightful heir to the Turkish throne is in a madhouse. Alone among the import ant European monarchs King Humbert of Italy can boast of sound health. On the other hand, his position on the throne is anything but secure.—London Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph. Died of a Blue Gummed Negro's Bite. Henry Farguson, of La Grange. Ga., colored, died the other day from the effects of a bite on the hand three months ago by Joe Strozier. Blood poisoning ensued and he could get no relief. The negroes claim that Strozier is a blue gummed negro, and they regard a bite from one of that kind as poison ous as that of a rattlesnake. Very few negroes would have anything to do with his burial on account of their supersti tious fears in regard to a death of this character.—Cor. Atlanta Constitution. A Congressman Studying Lair. The Hon. William T. Crawford, con gressman elect from the Ninth district of North Carolina, has entered the law class at the North Carolina university, and hopes to complete the course before entering congress. He is said to be a young gentleman of decided ability and one of the best 6tump speakers in the state.—Baltimore Sun. Eighty-six and Walked Fifteen Miles. Col. John Clark, of this city, is a re markably hale and vigorous man for one of his age, 86 years, as every one remarks who witnesses his erect form and firm step as he passes along the street. He recently walked around the cape, a dis tance of fifteen miles, in a trifle over six hours.—Gloucester (Mass.) Times. FLyskiaru* endorse P. P.
