During Minister Ward’s late visit to Pekin & private house was allowed him for the use of himself and suite. The China correspondent of the Boston Traveller, who accompanied Mr. Ward, thus describes the place: Let us look about the premises we are to oc- cupy. The owner was a private gentleman of wealth and standing, whose family for the time vacated them, not a woman or child ap- pearing while we tarried, though we often saw the owner, who was quite courteous and oblig- ing. At the request of the government, he had consented to give us the use of his house, or houses, for there are two, both of brick, and ranning parallel, and being about 150 feet long, with a court between about 30 feet wide and paved with hewn stone. Like almost all Chinese houses, they were of only one story, ard with roofs covered with tiles. Two or three arches were thrown across the court, seeming to divide the long space into rooms, and doors 7 into each building as they were needed. The rooms, however, were few, and dark from the use of semi-'raneparent pa- per instead of glass windows. They were neat, and the walls and ceiling covered with hand- some Paper. The Chinese uso but little furni- ture, and the most of what had ever belonged to this had been removed as unsuitable to our tastes and customs. A gate, closed at night, opened into a narrow ‘street, which led into the centre of the village, and within a few rods’ travel out of it. Altogether, the build- ings were commodioug, neat and in good taste. Nor had the government and owner been con- tent with furnishing the best house, and sup- plying us with the substantials and delicacies of the country. It was the hot season of the year, and. to relieve their foreign guests from its oppressions, posts had been erected along the side of each house, some thirty feet high, while poles of equal height were planted in the centre, on which bamboo rafters were laid, over which new white matting was spread, which reached from roof to roof, and quite shut out the sun, while, as the sun changed its position, or set, or other circumstances re- quired, large windows could be made in the roof by pulling certain cords, through which the air was freely admitted. In the evening, it added to the beauty of the scene to have large lamps suspended in vari- ous places through the court, hexagonal in form, two feet long and one in diameter, the frame being of wood, and some of them having strips of red cloth in their hexagonal sides, and others stained glass. On the top an orna- mental story was added, a foot high, of carved work, which projected some half foot beyond the lantern proper. They discovered a good deal of art and taste, and are for ornament more than use. Long strips of red cloth were hung up on the walls in various places, as ex- pressive of good wishes But the most singular and yet touching and beautiful usage is the fastening of long strips of red paper upon the door posts, covered from top to bottom with large gilt Chinese charac- ters. Of course they are unmeaning without #n interpreter, and, as we had three with us, one of them, at my request, translated them for me; and here I give them to your readers. Opposite the main entrance was written in large letters : ** Great joy!" Over a door: ‘* Receive all heavenly happiness !”” On the sides of the door : ~‘ Felicitous be the sun, and auspicious the clouds!” and— a ** Harmenious may be the breezes, and sweet the rains '° Over another door : *- Happiness comes from Heaven '’ On the side of another door: ‘Imagination, like a great dragon, soars an hundred feet !”” and— *: Literature, like a good horse, is vigorous a thousand autumns!”’ Another pair of sentences was perfectly Chi- nese! “ The virtue of sa; is like sweet wine: Heaven’s grace enriches !”” and— * The words of a King are like silken sounds: The favors of the res oe are many !"’ The posting of such sentences over the doors of houses end on each side is a common prac- tice, generally expressing a welcome and good wishes to the guests and strangers who visit the house, or else containing sentences from the Chinese classics, which are held in veneration among the people. —+. ee ____ Orsters 1x THz CursiPeake.—The bill be fore the Legislature of Maryland at the last session, to allow dredging for oysters in deep water in Chesapeake Bay, was accompanied by a memorial, signed by all the principal packing houses and dealers in Baltimore, com- plaining that the supply is not equal to the de- mand, and that there are aboatant oysters in deep water which cannot be taken with tongs as the law preceribes. They state that three out of every five vessels engaged in running oysters to market are compelled to dredge them, and when caught doing so their vessels are seized and pare g unier the law, leaving them Penniless, without the means of support. ‘The memorial asserts that it is an undeniable fact that there are more oysters in the Chesa- peake Bay this day than there were twent: years ago. Instead of injuring the beds, it is the only way by which the quantity can be in- creased; the natural beds when first worked ate never fit for use—they must be raked and thinned so that they mey have a chance of growing in size and fatness; the raking of course spreads and increases the aizs of the bed and gives the o sters full chance to spawn and swe without being smothered; the dredger, w 95 he takes the oysters on board, is com- pelled to cull them over, picking off all the Papahepe these are thrown overboard, and pr two years may be taken and brought ‘¢ law proposes to forbid the use except in deep water, where the used, and sta! i E ing is not allowed many of recited Se heavy business will be for the past in packed oysters $3,500,- ; fF py consumed in the city A Feware M wotgrage sande oe Her Savines.—Sarah on the 8th instant, at the “ a Ledyard,Ct., years in an old one-story house, way place, and a few Boeapee ce an Out-of-the- pressed fears that she might heen, died ex. r-house.

Tn the April number of the Atlantic Monthly Dr. Holmes, in his “Professor's Story,” gives a charming and elaborate account of a “party” given by one of the rich citizens of Rockian _— the type of the modern New England village. The Professor’s descriptions and observations are too for us to by without extract- ing. ezekiel Sprow! le, the host, it should be known, is & retired country merchant, who is dignified with the title of Colonel, and the party is given on the occasion of Miss Matilda iprowle ‘coming out.”” WAITING FOR COMPANY. At half past 7 o’clock, the Colonel, in cos- tume, came into the front parlor and proceeded to light the lamps Some were humored enough and took the hint of a lighted match at once. Others were as vicio they could be; would not light on any terms, any more than if they were filled with water, or lighted and smoked one side of the chimne: ) OF Sputtered a few sparks and sulked themselves out, or kept up a faint show of burning, so that their ground looked as feebly phos mt as £0 many inval?i fire-flies. ith much coaxing and screwing and pricking, a tolerable illumi- nation was at last achiev: At 8 there was a grand rustling of silks, and Mrs. and Miss Sprowle descended from their respective bow- ers or boudoirs. Of course, they were pretty well tired by this time, and ver: glad to sit down—having the prospect before them of being obliged to stand for hours. The Colonel walked about the parlor, inspecting his regi- ment of lamps. 7 See said Mrs. Sprowle, “ there’s the ell!”? Everybody took position at once, and began to look very smiling and altogether at ease. False alarm. Only a parcels of spoons loaned, as the inland folks say when they mean lent, by a neighbor. “Better lato than never!’’ ssid the Colonel; let me heft them spoons.” Mrs. Sprowles came down into her chair aa if all her bones had been bewitched out of her. “I'm pretty nigh beat out a’ready,”’ said she, “before any of the folks has come.”” They sat silent awhile, waiting for the first arrival. How nervous they got! and how their senses were sharpened! “Hark!” said Miss Matilda, ‘what's that rumblin’?”’ It was a cart going over a bridge moro than a mile off, which at any other time they would not have heard. After this there wasa Tall, and poor Mrs. Sprowle’s head nodded once or twice. Presently acrackling and grinding of gravel. How much that means ae we are waiting for those whom we long or dread to see! Then a change in the tone of our gravel crackling. “Yes, they have turned in at our gate. They arecomin’. Mother! mother!” Everybody in position, smiling and at ease. Bell rings. Enter the first set of visitors. The Event of the Season has begun. HOW GENTEEL FOLRS EAT CAKE. The elder Miss Spinney, to whom Widow Leech made a remark, assented to it, at the same time ogling a piece of frosted cake, which she presently appropriated with great refine- ment of manner, taking it between her thumb and forefinger, keeping the others well spread and the little finger in extreme divergence, with a graceful undulation of the neck, and a ueer little sound in her throat, as of an m that wanted to get out and perished in the at- tempt. ICE CREAM IN THE CovsTRY. There is something so audacious in the con- ception of ice-cream, that it is not strange that a population undebauched by the luxury of great cities looks upon it with a kind of awe and speaks of it with a certain emotion. This defiance of the seasons, forcing Nature to do her work of congelation in the face of her sul- triest noon, might wellinspire a timid mind with fear lest human art were revolting against the Higher Powers, and raise the same scru- ples which resisted the use of ether and chlo- roform in certain contingencies. Whatever may be tho cause, it is well known that the an- nouncement at any private rural entertain- ment that there is to be ice-cream produces an immediate and profound impression. It may be remarked, as aiding this impression, that exaggerated ideas are entertained asto the dangerous effects this congealed food may pro- duce on persons not in the most robust health There was silence as the pyramids of ice were placed on the table, everybody looking onin admiration. The Colonel took a knife and assailed the one at the head of the table. When he tried to cut off a slice, it didn’t seem to understand it, however, and only tipped, as if it wanted to upset. The Colonel attacked it on the other side, and it tipped just as badly the other way. It was awkward for the Cole- nel. ‘‘ Permit mo,”’ said the Judge—and he took the knife and struck a sharp slanting stroke, which sliced off a piece just of the right size, and offered it to Mrs. Sprowle. This act of dexterity was much admired by the company. The tables were all alive n. oe EXTRAORDINARY Cask OF AMALGAMATION.— Mrs. Catharine Beach, widow of a respectable mer- chant of Bridgeport, possessed of about $7,000, about middle age, with two children respectively married, and two aged 8 and 10 respectively, and a woman of more than ordinary beanty and intel- ligence, fellin love with Mr. Francis, 2 colored barber of Bridgeport, smart, intelligent, and black as jet. She first set him up in business, in a fancy oods store, and in October they visited New york. and were privately married. They re- turned to Bridgeport. Cais | each other but reldom, ard keeping the marriage from the knowlledge of her friends. Not long ago, the secret leaked out, and she acknowledged that she was his wife. The Seiectmen appointed a Mr. Hays conserva- tor over her, and took her to the Retreat for the Insane in this city, by direction of her friends. Dr. Butler refused to receive her, as she was not legally committed. She wastaken back, and her friends joined in procuring certificates from four physicians that she was insane, and terday she ‘was brought here again. Friends of Francis tele- graphed to him in New York, where he has late- ly established himself, and this morning he met his wife and her conservator as they again took her tothe Retreat. He had with him Julius L. -,as his counsel. He claimed his - Dr. Butler said the certificates were all right, but if she acknowledged Francis to be her lawful husband, he (Dr. B ) had no authority to detain her. She declared that he was truly and tonatty her husband, and that she would stick to him through thick and thin. Mr. and Mrs Francis accordingly stepped into the hack in ee. and je to the United States Hotel. took dinner, and left on the steamboat City of Hartford, bound for New York, at 2 p.m.—Hart- Sord Press.
