CHAOS AT COURT.
Turns have not been lacking of Inte indications that the Chinese Court is
in a chaotic condition. Some of the Edicts which have been issued recently prove that Their Imperial Majesties hare become alive to the fact that a crisis is pending.

Ancestors, respectable or otherwise, are no use when petion is required. If the Em-1 preas-Downger was half as talented as she is said to be we must recollect that we really know very little about her it would be an extraordinary thing for her to throw up the sponge and
