VICEROY Versus VICEROY,
A Wuchang dispatch reports that General Liu Kosng-ta'ni, who lately.com. manded a large body of troops in Kwangsi province and who has been denounced the Throne by Viceroy Tsên Ch‘an-hitien ou the charge of inability to keep proper control over his men, has been recommend- ed, on the other hand, to the Throne by Viceroy Chang Chih-turg, who asks that the General may be allowed to come to the Hukuang provinces. The renaon is that Viceroy Chang Chih-tung fears that the Kwangst rebels may break into Hunan province, and having grent confidence in General Liu Kuang-te'ai, want him to take command of a strong body of Hukuang troops who are to encamp on the Hunan- Kwangsi borders, to prevent the Kwangsi robels from repeating their raid of last year. Thus we find the curious spectacle of one Viceroy denouncing a high military officer and another Vigergy declaring that he has great confidence in the denounced officer, to
HONGKONG and PHILIPPINES, the extent of confiding to him the impor- tant task of ping a large provinco free from the invition of riding insurgents.

Since woman must man's right deny To bo may I say?-boss of her, Good counsel she is proffered by
Our poot and philosopher.
Of fitness there would be no breach,
For I indeed were blessed if I
Had her ability to preach,
As countless husbands testify.
Then though for years doubts that she
could
Undoubtedly have harried men, To seo hor taking orders would
Delight, I swear, all married men.
I'd choke to soo folk pointing at,
(Though Mabel might be hard on me),
Her mother in a bishop's hat,
His apron, and his-pardon me!
With nice girl curatos I profess
My zeal for church would never end,
And happy Strophon would address
His Chloe as The Reverend.
Then though it would be clear to me.
She never would escape a son
of protest, Joan at last would be

Invesced with the Papacy.
And last, till when for whales we fish
We use but curtant jelly bait,
meet the universal wish,
No clergy would be celibate

in the Far East.
It was one of the things | hald most sacred in the country, and was invoked in the prayers of high and low of Czars, noblemen, and peasants. The most superstitious people, perhaps, in the world, Russians will be quick to believe that God has withdrawn bis favour from Holy Russia. | They will remember all the leg, nds surroun- ling the picture. It was the Holy Mother of Kazan who, in 1552, helped Ivan the Terrible to take Kazan, who aided the Rus ians in repelling the invasion of the Polish King Ladislaus, and who came to the assistance of General Kutusoff at the Battle of Borodina against Napoleon. Apart
from its miraculous virtues, the picture was of great intrinsic value, on account of its precious frame, which was adorned with an unmense quantity of jewels presented by Czars and others, and valued set many nillion roubles.
