Some Details from Chinese Sources ot | the Imperial Wedding. Wow THE CEREMONY WAS PERFORMED—THE ne-! PERIAL PAGEANT AND OUTFIT—HOW THE BRIDE | WAS CONDUCTED TO THE PALACE—ELEPHANTS, SILKS, FLAGS AND DRAGC It is by this time pretty well understood that | the emperor of China is married. In fact his ew matrimonial venture has been one of the most thoroughly advertised events of so much of 1389 as has already slipped past the turn- stile. Some details of the grand ceremonials attendant upon the occasion have reached us, but Tur Stax has been furnished through kind- ness of Dr. M. L. Ruth, of the navy, with some additional particulars obtained from Chinese newspapers just received by mail. The details may possibly be a revelation to those time- | saving young couples who, with or without | mamma's consent, stand up before a justice of | the peace, say “yes” twoor three times and are thenceforth one. THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES. It seems that the emperor—whose name is Ruang-su—married a celestial maiden named Yeh-ho-na-la on the 26th of February, she being « niece of the empress dowager, and consequently her husband's cousin. ‘The cere- monials tock place in Peking. the capital cit and for weeks extensive preparations were going on to make ready tor the grand affair, which was conducted with extravagant ostenta- tion. The bridegroom was relieved of all the annoying little aetails that usually worry a man ou the verge of matrimony, such as finding and furnishing a house, discovering a hack- man who can wait for his fare, a clergyman without magnificent ideas as to fees, and a best man with adress suit. All of these troubles were taken from Kuang’s hands by a host of obliging Officials, a class of beings with which China, it appears, abounds. THE YOUNG COUPLE'S OUTFIT. A few days before the wedding the servants of the office of equipments carried to the im- perial palaces, with great ceremony, the many hundred articles design emperor and his bride bee d for the use of the ‘They had prepared by the board of the hold, and comprised ad infinitum, he . fine chinaware, ncedlework, furniture, gold and silver work. inlaid and carved uphol- personal ornaments, stationer on through the catalogue of imperial needs, The emperor, being a prudent man the prudeuce was supplied by some one of his ancestors a couple of thousand years ago— ordered the high officers of his court to go to the Temples of Heaven, Earth, and the Gods on the 24th of February, there to worship and to make official anz ent of the approach- | ing ¥ all was stir bustle, 4 in the palaces, in preparation of the arrang: ments for the grand occasion. THE IMPERIAL PANOPLY. The officers of the equipment bureau, with deep reverence, hauled out from their hiding places the empress’ sedan chair, her yellow chairs, and her chariot to which an elephant was harnessed. and put them in condition. They formed a part of the formal ceremony and were accompanied by the following pars phernalia: Two pairs of yellow silk umbrellas, embroidered with dragons: one pair of crooked handled umbreilas.embroidered with phanixes; # pair of large fans; ten colored umbrellas; four umbrellas worked with gold thread; a paic of plain red umbrel. eight banners decorated with dragons and phenixes; two embroidered flags: eight fans embroidered with dragons; and eight yellow fans each shaped like a pheas- ant’s tail, Then, when the proper time came, every- thing being laid down by a schedule, from Which a deviation would probably have meant a full dozen of heads. some one brought out the great gold scepter. inlaid with jade and ith a dragon character on it, from the imperial | and ¢ it to the two ministers of the Imperial household at the Chien-ching palace, in readimess tor it to be placed in the sedan chair of the empress. THE BRIDE'S TROUSSEAT. A leading eunuch, with deferential anthorit; politely requested a lot of princesses, imported for the occasion, to place in a couple of pavil- jons that the ministers have erected in the courtyard the wedding dresses of the empress, @ trousseau that would make Worth green with envy. As soon as they had been packed into the pavilions « number of eunuchs carried them to the gate of the Shun-chen palace and turned over to the equipment bureau, the officers of which escorted the pavilions to the residence | of the emprese-elect and handed them over to her eunuch+ During the day the chief eunuchs arranged a number of yellow tables at the Chiao-tai palace, and on them placed the marriage contract and the gold seal. As soon as this was accomplished the emperor repaired to the Tzuning palace, and, appearing im the presence of his mother. the empress dowager. he kotowed to her nine times.

A Chinaman, on state occasi not bow less than nine times. As soon emperor's head bobbed up from the ninth kotow he went over to the Chiao-tai palace, where the yellow tables were, and, lke the prodent man he is, read over the marriage con- tract. It will thus be seen that Kuang is not a person to be led into a mesalliance or any other dangers through having some one else draw up the documents without look- ing at them. When he had translated the hieroglyphics to his own satisfaction and ap- proval the chief commissioner, who was con- Brmed some vears ago, put the contract in one pavilion with the old seal, and the gold scepter in another. These were then carried in procession, headed by the equipment offi- ets. to the empress’ residence, and the con- tract, seal, and scepter were placed on three yellow tables that had been arranged 4m the hall by the board of works, THE WEDDING Day. Promptly at noon on the next day, the wed- ding day, four princesses of the line proceeded tw the residence of the new empress to assist her in her robing. Her gear was as follows: A red silk headdress decorated with pearls, chrys- phrases, coral, rubies, carnelians, amethysts, Jasper. and biue feathers. An emroidered court robe decorated with pearls, with jewels on the overlaps, two strings of coral beads, a necklace decorated with coral. a pair of jew. elled earrings, and a handkerchief, The process of robing must have been as fatiguing to the empress as it is supposed to be to many ladies of our own civilization, for she rested for some time after it was over. Pres- ently a eunuch made his appearance and told her that therc was @ marriage contract and a gold seal lying around outside, and that if she would step that way she t inepect them | and decide whether or not she liked them. | Two princesses walked out with her, anda} eunuch read her the contract. It was thor- | oughly satisfactory to her, as it had been to | Kuang, and she went back to her hall again and took another rest after this tedious pro- ceeding. When she had gone the scepter and seal were handed to the chief commissioner, who repliced them in their pavilions, every | Officer and attendent being in a certain place. | Ata signal from the chief eunuch eight others brought into the hall the empress’ chair, con- | taining « scepter inlaid with jade. | Two | | woreepy took it out of the chair at once and anded it toa eunuch.

Then the princesses helped the empress to | her seat in the chair, which had been fumigated | with a piece of Tibetan incense and placed ina certain position which is known as “Pleasing God.” When she was comfortably seated the | Princesses gave her an apple, and then | the procession escorted the | em; to the Imperial into which eight eunuebs carried her in her chair to the | requested to alight, and was transferred to an- other chair decorated with peacock’s feathers, in which ghe was carried into the Chung-tsin . and the chair sct down over a brazier of ¥e coals, then invited her to use the columns of | Tur Evesine Stan.

Itis at this point in the marriage ceremony that well ordered bridgrooms on this side of the world perform a feat of osculation, but the North China Ners is silent on this subject in dealing with the emperor's nuptuals, Two princesses then conducted the empress tothe frktal clsanber wiiere ‘eho ‘est ct the left-hand side of the bed, face to face with tie emperor, who sat on the other side, and the princesses asked the imperial couple to drink by joining their wine cv Later on in t court, according to # venerable custom, offered the “Pudding of Sons and Grandsons,” and the “Broth of Long Life.” A DAY OF KOTOWING, At3 o'clock on the morning of the 27th the princesses went to the bridal chamber to assist the empress in robing. The emperor doun .d his court robe, and the couple were given a few instructions about the machine of kotowing. to which the day was about given up. The emperor first conducted his bride to worship the gods of heaven, earth and the household, which was done by kneeling and kotowing nine times, They then went to the Hwu-huang temple, burned Thibetan incense and kotowed nine times; and thence to the Cheng-chien palace. where they kotowed nine times before the images of their grandfather, father and brother. Their next trip was to th: Cheu-hsu palace for the purpose of giving the ciepries dowager samme scepters and nine ko- tows. The the compliment empress dowager by giving the young folks her own scepter, but she did not kotow. Then they went back home and wound up the kotowing with a little inter- change of courtesies, First the empress knelt before her lord and master and gave him her scepter inlaid with jade, kotowing nine times. He gave his to her, who took her seat. Then a couple of secondary empresses, another insti- tution of some antiquity in Oriental countrie: advaneed to the throne and kotowed nine times to the empress, CONGRATULATING THE BRIDEGROOM. On the 3d of March a proclamation was is- sued to the empire, announcing the imperial marriage. Onthe 5th of March the viceroys, | governors, generals-in-chief, brigadier-generals | of the eighteen provinces, nobles, and high officials of the first and second rank in Peking called on the emperor to offer their congrata- lations, each presenting him with a scepter in- laid with jade. The next day the emperor gave a banquet to his ministers and the envoys of his vassal kingdoms at which, by the kind and | gracious permission of the empress dowager, the noble ladies of the court were present, soe A NEGLECTED HERO.

Ellet had been a masterful figure in the disenssion and development of scientifi engi- neering. Born January 1, 1810, on the Dela- ware, 25 miles above Philadelphia, he conse- | erated his life to an art which he loved with the ardor of genius. His achievements were marvels of engincering skill. He was at once an inventor and a leader, but, withal, too modest to trumpet his own fame. He con- ceived the first suspension bridge in America, at Fairmount. Philadelphia, He designed the first wire bridge that spanned the Niagara river, and was first to subject it to a perilous | test. He built the suspension bridge at Wheel- | ing. and, prior to 1850, won distinction as chief engineer in planning railways and bridges in Pennsylvania and Virginia. He was an cxhaus- tive student and, amid the thronging duties of a busy career, contributed to the literature of | his profession a series ot papers that rank as authority on the subjects which they treat. He seemed to have solved the profoundest engi- neering problems of his time. STEAM VESSELS AND BATTERING RAMS, But I do not aim to present here a biographi- eal sketch, Ionly wish, in connection with Mr. Timby's letter, to give due credit to Col. Ellet as the real author of the plan for convert- ing steam vessels into battering rams for pnr- poses of war. It is true that the suggestion of shad been vaguely made in the navy as 35—a fact of which Col. Ellet was not aware; but as fur back as 1855—seven years be fore the building of Capt. Eriesson’s Mon: tor—Col. Eliet had laid before Mr. Dobbin, the Secretary of the Navy, minute particulars of his plan for constructing steam battering | rams would be powerful enough to secure our coast and harbor defenses: and that plan Was first utilized by the confederates early in in the conversion of the old frigate Merri- ¢ at Norfolk into a ram, followed promptly by the destruction of the sailing vessels Con- | gress and Cumberland, whereupon, as stated | by Admiral mmen, “a vessel apt. John Ericsson, named the Monitor, was built in great haste for the purpose of meeting the Merrimac. The Monitor met the Merrimac March 9, 1462, but a month in advance of the engagement —February Col. Ellet had saga- ciously warned the government of the prepara- tions which the confederates were making, saying: “It is not generally known that the rebels now have five steam rams neurly ready for use. Of these five Mobile one at less the most formidable, being. ‘te 1a frigate Merrimac, which has been that, m the opinion of the rebels, 1 rani. But, we have not a single vest so far as T kuow, in course of coustru able to cope at all with a’ well-built ram. If the Merrimac is permitted to escape from Elizabeth rivere we will be almost certain to commit great depreda- Uons on our armed and unarmed vessels in Hampton Roads: and may even be ted to pass under the uns of Fortress Monroe and pray upon our c merce bay, Indeed, if the alterati have been skillfully made and she succeeds in wetting to ‘sea, she will Lot only be a terrible scourge. te our coni- ve also to be a most danverous vir blockading squadrons off the harbors of rh coasts,” Having stated the fact that he had often called the attention of the Navy department to his plan for building steam rams during the last seven years, Col. Eliet adds in this same warning: “Experience derived from accident alcollisions shows that a vessel o Bek in the watat b a steam ram. at sea, Wl godown almost fustautaneously, and involve. has often happened, the loss of nearly all on board. THE OPERATIONS OF THE MERRIMAC in the hands of the confederates proved the correctness of Col. Ellet’s theory and plan as distinctly laid before Seeretary Dobbin, illus- trating that the shock of an American steamer, properly fortified at the bow and converted into a fonting battering ram, is immeasurably superior to the guns of any man-of-war that was ever Iennched. the fundamental principle of his plan being that strength of hull and great and primary conditions in e selection of the craft. Addressing the Secretary of the Navy, in the enforcement of this idea, April 26, 1835, Col, Ellet said: “For harbor deferse, however much wi forts and "batteries, I think wo ahould two are on the lower Mississippi, two are a! and oue is at Norfolk.

He reached Pittsburg March 28, and thence com- municated his intentions to Gen. Halleck in the A alight and presented her with an apple and a “precious bottle” containing pearls and gold coins.

ELLET'S RAMS, The foregoing indicates, at once, the haste | that impelled him in his responsible undertak- | ing and the confidence he felt in his long con- lan, even though it were applied to “only off-hand contrivances, at best—mere sub- stitutes for rams;” for, be it remembered that | while the government cheerfully had fully | ided Capt. Eriesson in building the Monitor | and other kindred batteries, Col. Ellet was not | siven the opportunity to construct a tleet of | Tams, nor even a single ram. according to his ; matured methods. Nevertheless, as shown b: the foregoing communication to Gen. Halleck. when the confederates had usurped and util- | ized the plans he had so long fruitlessly advo- ; cated, using them to the destruction of the | Sovernment’s vessels, Col. Ellet came forward | | promptly and, in an almost inconceivably short | time, under the most urgent pressure, con- verted unsuitable and incompetent. vessels, | composed of the roughest materials, into te | porary and imperfect rams, with which, com- manding them in person, he undertook to assail and destroy the thoroughly constructed, armed rams and iron-clad gunboats of the enemy!

AN INDEPENDENT COMMANDER. It was this incident and the consequent dis- patches from the Secretary of War that had hurried Col. Ellet and his rams to the scene, | even before his meager preparations were com- pleted. Be it remarked. just here that he was in the singular position of holding an independ- ent command in connection with the operations upon Memphis, he having declined to eng in the dangerous enterprise upon any other conditions. He commanded, therefore, upon his own responsibility, according to his own judsment, free from the control officer, however exalted.

Itis in view of these fucts that the name of Chas, Ellet. jr., deserves to be men- tioned under the inspirations of national grati tude, The fame of the great Ericsson is pres- cious indeed, and cannot be dimmed by enlarg- ing the list of those with whom he is prope: associated.

THE WASHINGTONS EASILY DEFEAT THE TEAM FROM JERSEY CITY. ‘The Statesmen had an easy time yesterday, defeating the Jersey City team with hands j down by the score of 17to7. There were not | more than three hundred people present, the air being raw and disagreeable. The batteries for five innings were O'Day and Clark and Daily and Hofford, and then for two innings Haddock and Banning and Landman and O'Rourke filled the points. O'Brien played third base and gladdened the hearts of the crowd with his old-time batting, pounding out asingle, a triple and a home ran, At first.it seemed as though both pitchers were racing to attain the greatest degree of wildness, but O'Day steadied down after the first inning while Daily continued to send men to first on balls and hit them in the back, making little Hofford dance to a lively tune behind the bat. The Senators hit him very freely, O'Day made a double, Carney a triple, and Hoy, Wilmot, Banning, and O'Day singles, besides two singles by Shoch and O'Brien's heavy work. The home team played fairly well in the field, with five errors to their credit, Hoy made an excusable mutf, Sweeny, through nervous eagerness, let two balls go by him, Banning fumbled a ball, and Carney made a misplay. Clark’s work behind the bat was of first rate order, his throwing to second being wonderfully swift and straight. He is quick, bares and pores — At seeds he acts with good judgment, and yesterday reached first three times on balls. On bases he behaved very well, stealing twice. He is destined to be a favorite. Hoy and Wilmot nearly distracted the visitors by their antics on the bases, Hoy stealing three times and Wilmot twice. Jerse: City made 6 hits and 6 errors.
