The Chinese Embassy arrived thisevening just as the sun was goingglown and the end was at hand of avery exciting election for Mayor.

Their pigtatis formed # subject of Iudic- criticism, and their peculiar garments puzzied ceedingly as to what sex the olive tinted strangers ged. The Chinese, all to themselves, entered ir omnibuses and Mr. Burlingame, his fami- and two secretaries followed in # couple of es, They drove rapidly away to the Metropoil- Hotel and stepped nimbiy out under the portico, was gathered @ delighted crowd of those well 1d men of leisure who seem never to grow red jotel life in Washington.
