Now the journey of mincty miles from Tientsin has o be made by pony, by don key, or by cart, or the traveller must come by boat up the winding Peiko. The pony ride requires two davs and the boat takes from three to seven. The winter mail of Peking has to be brought seven hundred miles throueh the interior by relays of ponies and it then takes something like three weeks toget o letter from Shanghai to Peking. Thie Chinese, at present, profess o be well satistied witn this arrangement.

The better class of the Chirese offer no social invitations to the for- eign ministers ag Peking. Colonel Denby, during his four y of efficient ser- vice in China, has nev: scen the inside of a Chinese gentleman’s house. He has never looked into the almond-cyes of the boy emperor, nor has he set s foot, in- side one of his palaces. He has never had an audience with the empress regent through her famous gauze , and such calls as he has had_from the ministers of forcign af- fairs have been those of ceremony and busi Nevertheless he has paid his social duties religiously, and terday he sent his card to the oftice of foreign affairs in honor of the cmpress’ birthday.” Our foreign min- ister uscs, of course, a Chinese card. Itis a strip of paper four inches wide und ten inches long, and its color is of a hue so red that it would enrage the mildest bull. Upon this in the blackest of ink is painted the large Chincse characters which represe Colonel Denby’s nawe, \Ill'hlunl everywhere in China the bigger the man reptesen would not take more than ten such cards to eover a page of this newspaper, and when our minister rides forth in his sedan chair of state, borne by cight pig-tailed men in livery and proceded by his mafoo and tungeh on horseback, the Chincse, I doubt not, think he i8 bearing presents from Washington to the emperor, and tlirt their pigtails with a condescending sneer as he passes, Colonel Denby is now at the head of the foreign ministers here. He is the dean of the diplomatic corps, and I attended last night u diplomatic dinner which he gave to the German mimster upon his retiring from Peking. Mr. Von Brandt, the oldest minis ter at Peking in point of residence, has been the dean for some time, and by his recall the osition comes to Minister Denby. As dean, e is tho representative of the corps, and acts as its spokesman upon state occasions. He is now, henco, the head representative of the foreign influences in China, and as such holds a very important position in the lands of the o als, A thorough Frenchscholar, he made an excollent speech at this dinner in the French lunguage, which has lutely been udopted diplomatic tongue of the forcign N The din- ner was held at the American legation, Il 8, which have been re-dee- unc r’ od duri Jolonel illed with m of the foreign ) king, There are no better servants in the world than the Chi- nese, nnd the menu was_equal to that pre- “nrgd by the best of the French chefs at Vashington, and it was served by long tailed, almond-cyed, yellow-faced servants in conts of velvet aud silk. The table talk was in French, and the leading nations of the world were represented. A QUEER OLD CITY. What a \\ululm ful city is Peking! How big and how little! How old and how young! How strong and how weak! It is & conglomeration—the strangest mixture of matter and mind in the world of cities. 1t was & city as far back as 1100 years before Christ, and it was the capital of Chivaa thousand years after Christ was born. It was the capital of the whole empire in A, D, 1264, aud with the excoption of a short time it has been the seat of Chinese government since the reign of Kublai Kahn, Its bwr s thus gray and its skin wrinkled in its years of cityhood, but as s modern city it is still in its swaddling olothes, nay, rather it is just born and it sprawls about in all the dirt of neglected babyhood, 1t is the most filthy spot on this fair earth's face and the smells of Naples, the dirt of Korea and the slums of New ¥ork and London cannot compare with at. It knows nothing of modern city improve- ments, Its wide, mirey, uupaved strects Bave no sidewalks, and the rude Chineso earts aro dragged along up to thewr hubs in mud and filth. The streets are the sewers and the most degraded savage of our west- Mongolian Capital. 15, — [Special € Tne rraph d the telepraph from dom.

They live in enclosures surrbunded by walls 50 high thi it is impossible to look over them and ente by gates which are guarded by door-keepers who admit only the favored few. Some of the residences contain mauy acres inside of theso walls and tho buildings are made up of @ number of onestory structures scattered here and there about the grounds. All of the foreign legations ure of this nature and ecretaries and the ministerof the American legation live in such enclosures. The gov- ernment pays between two and three thou- sand dollars a year for it, and America is, I am told, the only forein nation revresented at Peking which does not own its own build- ing. The foreign ministers have some curious duties, and their mail as to Chinese mat ters contains requests quite s queer as some of those made to the president of the Unitod States. Several scoro of autograph flen have been pestering Colonel Denby for auto graphs of the Chincse emperor. A signature is as dificult to procure as that of the angel ubriel written with a quill from his own wings. Tho Chinese emperor is quite s sacred in China and to Chinamen as Gabriel is to christians. Other Americans want con- tracts from the emperor, und they evidently suppose that China is jumping at western ideas and western brains, They put the celestial intelligence on a Vulry low plane, indeed, and ask the most ridiculous questions as to whether if they bring their wives to Uhina they can find sultable ue munodunmm Tor thieuts - They do ot realise stiat the o ports of China have as good hotels and un pleasant social circles us you will find in any American city, and they evidently think that the foreigners here live in mud huts, sleepon busin the Chinese bake-oven beds and eat with chop-sticks.
