As time wears on in the fitid atmosphere of Feking, it is becoming more and more evident that the patholic tale of the Emperor Thungchi is having its effect, and that the prosunt ac cupant of the Throne, foaring to ascend too soon, like his cousin, to the land of the Dragon King, hus bowed his bear and noopted the situation. The Emprese Dowager, warned by the revolt of the Inte ill-fated to perar, teok early care that the youth selected to ocoapy his plzen should be rained in body and emresulted in mind before ever he came to years of discretion, and to this one end the whole, of his early edmention was releritlossiy devoted. Twelve years of joint Ragency over. the youth. fungohi only carved us a zebt to the insatiabloman, whose strongth of all placed her at once, on the death of Hienteng, at the helm. Tungchi, in whom the spirit of the grant K'mghi had not been altogether extinguished, was married, and it was hoped "done for." His young Empress probably proved a woman of character, and Tunguli, galled with the state of abject de pendence in which he found himself, essayed to rale. Unhappy boy! He cessod to live, and widow, to escape a greater misery, the misory that only one spiteful woman knows how to infiot on anothor, starved herself tolk. T'nagobi's death, wilsont isme, caused a dili entity in the succession, and the Thrane bail to retrograde a generation. Others were equally eligible, but the son of Prince Ch'un had the advantage; he was of tender years, and the now Reganey would be in the worst of eircumstances along one. Thirteen years in his predecessor's time, and at least sixteen in his own, might have seemed. sufficient to satisfy the ambition of any woman,--not so thought the junior Legant, who shortly by the death of bercand jutor, became nominally, as well as actually, sak Regent. The mistake comunitted in the case of the rebellious Tungchi, who refused to be kneaded as clay is tho hands of the potter, must not be repeated in the case of the 20w puppet, The child Emperor was from the beginning, thea. placed in the hands of the palace women and ouäuchs..
