According to the Shin pao, the following-ar the rules for applying for the Imperial recogni tion of widows who have distinguished themselves by their fidelity, recently published by official authority in the native city of Shanghai.

The stone-paved streets in Pekin were last repaired in the reign of Kang Hsi of this dynasty. The funds for the work were raised by taxing the shop men of Peking. This time, however, the money was paid from the Imperial Treasury. Municipal improvements, of this kind are very much needed in the capital and I am glad to say that I hear from reliable quarters that other streets are in official contemplation for repairs. The work is a costly one, but there is so much cart traffic in Peking, that any other kind of roadway would he very soon worn out, consider ing that even these massive stones are so cut up in course of time as to make enormous ruts and holes, which all who have visited Pekin testify from horrible experience.

-Tassut, May-aend-1888- The weather is already getting very hot, and lately we have had days when the thermometer has registered above 90 Fah, in the ahade, On the afternoon of the 16th instant we had a heavy thunderstorm which last nearly two hours, and for half an hour the lightning and thunder were terrific, but fortunately no damage was done to the settlement, although there are no lightning conductors on any of the houses, thunderstorms being very tare here... I.. am informed, however, on very good authority, that seven miles from here, two natives who had sought shelter under a large banyan tree were killed by lightning, and that the tree', was splintered in many places.
The tea season is fairly well started now, although it is said that this year's first crop is of very poor quality. The steamer Fokien, which left for Amey on the 17th, took away 6,853 half- chests. By her, Dr. Johannsen left us for good. Since he returned to China his health has been failing. This compelled him to sell his practice to De Reonic and return to Germany.

The attendance of the court on the Emperor in his devotional excursion is a splendid sight. During the whole night of the 13th-instant, pcopic in official robes hurried to and fro, and little while before His Majesty came out, mule carts and chairs followed by official trains of horsemen were seen proceeding to the Temple of Heaven. At last heralds came out calling "Tow ch'ow (which I understand to mean that the Emperor bad arrived at the first palace,) on which all the officials, soldiers, &c. which were to line the streels were ordered to stand in their places. After a short interval, other heralds came out and cried "Rr. ch'ow," followed by others calling "San ch'ow" which means second and third palaces, after this a small party of horsemen passed-by, then came some on foot, and so on, until the Imperial chair of yellow satin itself appeared bearing in it a frail, pale-looking boy, the Sovereign of this Empire. The chair was borne by sixteen man. The Emperor looked quite interested in gazing at all the doors and windows of the shops which unfortunately for his curiosity were all her metically closed. Yet he turned his head in all directions and seemed delighted in seeing the houses in his own Imperial city. I suppose he comes out so seldomn that such an event is quite a relaxation for him.
