Empress Dowager on, the 1st of January last, they repart upon the mourning and other rites to be paid to the memsy of His Imperial Highness Prince Ch'un, The Book of Rites prescribes that a person who passes by adoption into another family should observe mourning for one year for the death of his own father or mother, and this is the term which the memoria. Hats venture to think should be observed on the present occasion. In accordance with the principle adopted by Her Majesty the Empress-Dowager In deciding that Prince Ch'un should be styled the late Father of the Emperor. The term of mourning being thus fixed, the following are the virious points of ceremonial in connec- tion with the last rites to the memory' of the illustrious dead which the memorialists, after careful consideration, venture to subrait for adoption.
The term of mourning being one year of twelve months, it is respectfully suggested that In accordance with usage, His Majesty should
go into deep mourning for either 11 or 13 days as Her Majesty the Empress may be pleased to decide.
II.-After putting off his robes of deep mourn.

III-When a Prince of the first order dies. the custom is to hold no Court for three days. Whether this term should be extended on the prevent occasion in honour of Prince Ch'un is respectfully submitted to the decision of the Empress-Dowager.
IV-During the period of one year the Emoerer is humbly requested to wear ardinary mourning in his private'nnartments. This should not, however, apply to his visits of respect to
the Empress Dowager, to the reception of bis ministers in audience, or to the transaction of public business. During the period of deep mourning the Emperor should; it is suggested, pay a daily visit to the residence of the late Prince and pour oblations before the remains all other ceremonies of this kind being performed by Princes and Nobles deputed to act on behalf, of His Majesty. The Board of Ceremonies should decide upon the etiquetta to be observed when the members of the family meet together In mourning for the dend
V.-It is respectfully suggested that the Important State functions at the temples of bis ancestors and at those of Heaven, the Sun, the 'Moon, and the Earth should, daring the above period of one year, be conducted by the Emperor in person. On all ordinary occasions of worship the Emperor's deiles should, for one year, be performed by proxy.
VI-On the first day of the New Year the Emperor should celebrate the usual rites at the Tang-id in fall rebes of ceremony, and his visit to the Empresa-Dowager on the same day should be made with similar ceremony and be accom». panied with music. When receiving the New Year's congintulations in the T'alho Tien the Emperor should wear court dress, but whether. when he ascends the Throse, the congratulatory address should be read and the music played, is a question which the memorialist wouli especially submit to the decision of H.M, the Empress-DowagCT,

that is passing away under their eyes. Foreign nations can get along very well without their Ministers seeing the Emperor of China, and if either by bis own will or through the obstruc- tiveness of bis servants access to him is not made easy and honourable, why should foreign ers trouble themselves at all about the matter? It is an affair between the Emperor and his own Ministers, and might very well be left in their hards.
But it behoves the foreign governments at home to take note of the attitude of the Peking Government; and if they were well advised and could afford, amid the turmoil of Western polities, to bestow an occasional quarter of an hour on the consideration of their Chinese relations, they would surely mete out to the Chinese representatives at their respective. Courts the exact measure of courtesy which is shown to the foreign representatives in Peking. No com plaint could be made of such even-handed
reciprocity, and were it but honestly adopted by the Great Powers it would not be the foreign Ministers who would have to sue for civility is Peking, but quite the contrary. The Western Powers have followed a different principle of action to this, and not. content with shewing Chincac envoys
According to a Chinese malice the people of thirty-six villages were to have met yesterday at the Goddess of Mercy bill to consult about the wind, ralo and harvest. For the last six years there has been much suffering from drought in this district. Prayers for rain have been fre quently offered, but answers have been received in a way similar to the answers to their prayCTI for wealth. Evidently something is wrong... N. C. Daily News.
