rvice. It is noteworthy that a refusal on the part of the Emperor to nocede to similar requests is oftener the oneasia of thanks that whop His Majesty anpedos. Only few weeks ago, the minent statesman Pao ting implore the Emperor in west moving tarcas to parmit him-to-ratio, the Emperor re Coned, sharply reproving him for lagratitudo. and the scabbed official mostly thanked his Majesty for not acdeling to his request. Tho gifs of a far-olesk, especially when the fur round The ask of the animal is rotained and malo ug, is another and more comprehensible ocasion for thanksgiving; ad se is the permission to rida on horesbiok through cartain portions of the Imperial enclosure, which an aspred ground sa regards less favoured servants of the Throne. One of the most amusing insidents in con. neotvin with this praction of perpetzal thanks giving occurred not very long ago. A Menchin officer of high rank, no lass a personage indead than Walahsich'nngah, President of the Board of Ceremonies, retorged, thanks for the honour of Laving beast invited to a easrifi. oial feast by the Emperor. Next day, how avers terrible rubbing was administered to Wulstalo magan. "The Araperor had received" his expression of gratitude with astonishment, for as it happened, he had never been invited to the feast at all: "His name," says the Decrvo, "does not appear in the list of guests approved of by Us, and is thus thanking Us he has been guilty of a great piece of carolossoss," The unfortunate President is then and there to ba committed to the Board of Panisbmants for the determination of a penalty; and be will probably be less eager to thank the Em-1 paror, for invitations not sosorded to hire, ia Inture. It is a remarkable fact that Walahsich- "ungah does cot express his gratitado either for the snubbing or the oaision of bis naus from the list of guests; bat as loyal subject be no doubt is duly conscious of the honour done
