(FROM A CORRESPONDENT. |
19th January.
The new Chinese, Minister to the United States, His Eraolleney Chang Sha-yu, who ar: rived here on the 8th instant, is making a brief atay in this port buwan soiting 021 for Wash- ington, for which he will leave about China New Year. He is living in the Old City. Chang in a native of Fatahan, and has còcia hora on a visit to his friends before setting sail for the scene of his futuro diplaantie Inhases.
His Excellency the Viceroy is reported to have improved in health somewhat of late, but he is far from strong, and was never-robust.
A silk shop in the Western Suburb was at tacked the other day by a land of robbers, who succeeded in carrying off property to the value of about $4,000, with which they escaped. A re want of $50 per hond for the arrost of any or as many of the robbera as can be captured has beon offered. These raids are of frequent occurrence They are carefully planned, and are only carried cut when success is certain. There are no polios properly sa cailed to the City of Bras, and the Baddon appearance of a band of arized mon round a shep generally paralyses all resistance, and a raid is rapidly executed before in alarm can be given.
A fire cecurred on the 9th feet. near the End Gate. A bamboo-ware shop in some way got ignited, and tho fuflaritestis nature of the stack Ied to its spandy destruation. The inmates escaped uninjured and the fire fortunately did not spreed to the adjoining buildings.
OLLA PODRIDA.
A simple recipe is given in L'Illustration for making minons paper. The composition con- sists of forty parts ordinary paper pulp, ten pirls water. Len parts phosphorescent powder, one part galatize, and was part bichromate of potassa. The phosphorescent powder is composed of sulphides of calcium, barium, and streetium, well ground and mixed together. The bickr. mato of potasss acting on the galatine readers the paper, which is manufactured in the ordinary way, impermeable.

Of all the vast heritage of Spain the one thing. which she certainly has left to her is pictur." As we read the report of King Alphonso's funeral we are back in the deces of the Middle Agos. At the Bavaria), we ata tɔld, the procession slowly wound up the hill to the monastery. When the funeral car reached the principal door it was cled. The Lord. Cham

No one descended to the vault except the Prior, the Minister of Grace and Justice, and the Lord Chamberlain. The cofilu was placed on a table in a magnificant "Llook marble venttia vibh the Kings of Spain Ke in lago marble tombs all round. The Lord Chamberlin unlocked the coffin, which wa ensared with cloth of gold, raised the glass covering from the King's face, then, after re quesling perfect silence, knelt down and shouted three times in the chad Monarak’i sir, Sehor Señor, Señor He then rose, saying, according to the ritual, His Majesty does not answer. Then it is true the King is dead... Be locked the eoffa, handed the keys to the Prior and taking - up his ward of office, broke it in his hand, and fang the pieces at the foot of the tabis." What perfection of mise en scènel In what other country of the modern world is such a function possible? The Vatican itself is comparatively prosaic, and even groteance. in its ceremonial. As for our English ceremonies, the solemn ext, they are mare puppet-shows compared with this magnificently mounted drama..
