When alloud, joyful, and steeplechasing Lord, in the pursuit of pleasure and distant wars, dons the golden cords for a season, the world understands that this is maeque rading, jakittles and a joke. One must not confound the ideal A.-D.-C. with such a figure.
Since the riot, some weeks ago, in Samp- son's shoe manufaotory, in North Adams, Massachusetts, on the refusal of the proprie tor to dismiss an American foreman, matters have been quiet. Mr Sampson brought his first lot of Chinamen to North Adams in

It is in the sunshine glare of scarlet and gold that the A.-D.-C. is most awful and unapproachable; it is in this aspect that the splendour of vice-Imperialism seems to beat upon him most fiercely. The Rajahs of Rajputana, the diamonds of Golconds, the gold of the Wynaad, the opium of Malwa, the cotton of the Berara, and the Stars of India seem to be typified in the richness of his attire and the conscious superiority of his demeanour. Is he not one of the four satellites of that Jupiter who swime in the highest azure fields of the highest heavens ?

Thence retracing his steps to Sub-chow-fu, he must have travelled in a S.E. direction to Si- ning-fa, orossing an extensive hilly region through the central basin of which the river Tatung sends its water to the Huang-ho. These mountains are known among the Chinese as the Siu-shan or Nan-shan; in some parts they attain the limits of perpe- tual snow.
Si-ning-fa, according to Prejevolaky's observations, is situated in 39.99 N. lat. and 101.48 E. long, at the foot of lofty snowelad mountains, in a well onltivated country, populated mostly by Tangutians and Taldi. Once it was the scene of the pro- tracted war with the Dungans, and it has always been the chief depot of the Rhubarb trade which has been carried on for many years, both with China proper and through the Mongols with Russia.

In itsfronts it bad to cross what is appropriately known as the Grim Pan, of which we are told that "the last 100 feet of the accent was a sheer wall of ice, like the Matterhorn, and up this the troopers horses, and the baggage males and ponies, had to be lifted by human force. More than a whole day was cooppled in surmounting this obstacle alone, but it was surmounted, with the loss of eight mules sad three ponies." Mr Boulger does fair justice to the good qualities of Yakaob Bag as a ruler, but is not sparing in the exposuro of his treachery and cruelty. It is evident that the normal state of things must be bad indeed in a region where the rule of such a man is to be regarded as comparative blessing. But as every one must be judged in relation to his surroundings, it is fair to say that Yakoob Bag atands out as one of the best, rulers and most remarkable men of Central Asia for some generations. As illustrative of the constant advent of the unforeseen in human affairs stands the fact that soon after Great Britain, having en- couraged the Ameer to take a bold attitude. against Russia, had determined not to sup port him against that power and left him to his fate, hta fall was brought about, not by the audacious aggressions of the unscrupulous Muscovite, but by the slow and even sluggish notion of China. After bearing for years the formation of a Mussalman military state on territory to which it asserted a claim, China at length found itself in possession of the means to crash this daring enemy. A year or two ware spent in the slow preparations for the undertaking, and then an army of 50,000 men, armed and equipped in accor dance with the most advanced military science of Europe, sat across the vast desert. of Gobl to the task before it.
