Tho choice of the bride for the youn” Emperor of China has at last been matte, and in due time the «laughter of the Duke of Clino, tlie brother of tho present Empress, will be Empress of the Celestial Empire. Although the wedding will not probably take place before before 1889, thousands of hands are already busy with the lady’s trous seau and wedding presents, which have probably never been e«|ualed in wealth at nny other court. The following are the presents which the young Emperor is presenting his fiancee beforo their marriage, after the actual engagement present, which con sists of a gold seal, richly inlaid with jewels, the handle being formed of twe gold dragons. Up to a month previ ous to tho wedding the lady is pre sented with ten piebald horses, with complete trappings; ten gilt helmets and cuirasses, 100 pieces of satin of the first quality and 200 pieces of cotton material. As wedding presents the bride receives 200 ounces of gold. 10,- 000 ounces (taels) of silver, 1 gold tea service, consisting of teapot and 1 cup with a lid; 1 silver tea service. 2 silver wash basins, 1,000 pieces of satin of the best qutility, 20 horses with com pete trappings, 20 horses without trap pings, saddles for pack horses and mules. The parents of the lady receive also 100 ounces of gold, one gold tea set, 6.000 taels silver, one silver tea set, one silver washbasin, 600 pieces of silk. 1.000 pieces of cotton material, six horses completely harnessed, a helmet and cuirass, a bow and a quiver with arrows, each parent one court, dress for summer amt one for winter, one every day dress and a sable coaL The broth ers and servants of the bride also re ceive rich and costly presents. The bride's hats are the most remark able articles among tlie rich trousseau. Tiio winter court hat has a rim of sable, the «Town is made of red velvet, from tlie center of which rises a button com posed of three parts, each of which is ornamented with three small oblong f 'arls of particular beauty, and seven teen ordinary pearls, while in the cen ter of each part another splendid pearl is sot in gold, and surmounted by a gold phoenix. The button is surrounded by seven gold phoenixes, of which each is inlaid with seven large ami twenty-one small pear!« and a cat's eyo. At the back of the hat, lieloiv tho but ton, a gidd pheasant is placed wftli one cat's eye and sixteen pearls. Tho tail of the pheasant is «livided into five parts three hundred and two small and five large pearls, forming a pendant, th«- center of which is made of a lapis lazuli, surrounded by pearls. At the eml of the pendant a big coral is sus pended. A collar Is fastened at the back to the hat, tho outside of which is of sable, tho inside of bright yellow ma terial, with velvet ribbons embroidered at tlie eml with «liamonds. The three gala court dresses nre of a dark blue color, with borders of gold embroidery, and largo dragons em broidered nil over the dresses, while down the front are sewn in gold thread the words “Wan-Fu” (eternal happi ness) and “Wan-Nhon” (eternal lite). The necklaces and chains are of an enormous value, amt composed for the most part of pearls, turquoises, corals and diamonds. A handki-rcliief which is worn ill the belt is green, richly em- l roidered, trimmed with tassels of jew els. and yellow ribbons. A gala apron of red and blue satin, trimmed with otter skin and embroid ered in gol<l, dragon fans, and skirts of many different kinds are also a part of this gorgeous outfit, ami ths furniture for the future Empress is keeping every lra«te orisk throughout China. — Pall Hall (la-.ctte. —A novol type of a floating saw mil) has been built at Creston City, Fla., consisting of a large lighter or barge, with two fliHirs, an«l covered with Iron rooting, so that it resembles a house afloat It is forty feet wide, eighty (e<-t long, six feet deep, draws eleven feet of water, ami require«! 100,000 feet of lumber in its Construction.

At the period of which I speak, the sailing packets which run between Lou don and New York, and between Liver pool and that port, were ships of five to six hundred tons burden. The state rooms—as the little cabins ranged on either side of the saloon were termed— were below the sea-level. They were in commodious, dark, and ill-ventilated. In fact, the only light they enjoyed was that furnished by small pieces of ground glass inserted in the deck overhead, and from the fan-lights in the doors opening to the saloon, and this was so poor that the occupants of the state rooms could not even dress themselves without niuking use of a lamp. The sole ventilation of them was that afford ed by the removal of the saloon sky lights, which, of course, could only be done in fine weather. The consequence was that the closeness of the atmos phere in the state-rooms w«a at all times most unpleasant; while the Binell of the bilge-water was so offensive as to create nausea, independent of that aris ing from the motion of the vessel. In winter, on the other hand, the cold was frequently severe. There was, it is true, a stove in the saloon, but the heat from it scarcely made itself appreciably felt in the the side cabins. In other matters there was the same absence of provision for the comfort of the passengers. The fresh water re quired for drinking and cooking pur poses was carried in casks; and when the ship had a full cargo, many of these were placed on deck, with the result that their contents were sometimes im pregnated with salt water from the waves shipped in heavy- weather. At all times the water was most unpalata ble, it being muddy, and filled with various impurities from the old worm- eaten barrels in which it was kept. Not only was the water bad. but the supply occasionally proved inadequate; and when the voyage was an unusually long one, the necessity would arise of placing the passengers upon short al lowance. There was always a cow on board; but there was no other milk to be had than what she supplied, no way of pre serving it having then been discovered. Canned fruit and vegetables were equal ly unknown. There was commonly a fair provision of mutton and pork, live sheep and pigs being carried; but of other fresh meat and of fish, the stock was generally exhausted by the time the vessel had been a few days at sea; refrigerators at that period not having been invented. But the arrangements on board these ships were defective in much more im portant matters than in not providing a good table for the passengers. The boats even when they were seaworthy, which frequently was not the case— were so few in number that, in the event of shipwreck, there was no possi bility of their holding more than a third of the souls on board. The long-boat, indeed, was practically useless in ihi emergency, ns it was almost invariably filled up with sheds for the accommo dation for the c w, sheep and pigs; and it would have b -en several hours’ work to clear the I oa and launch her. If the ea in passengers had good cause to complain that neither their safety nor their comfort was sufficient ly studied, the condition of the steerage passengers was infinitely worse. Men,, women and children are huddled like sheep in the «(Harters assigned them, no separation of the sexes being attempt ed. The berths, which ran on either side of the vessel, were not inclosed, and were without curtains. The wom en were competed to dress and un dress before the eyes of their mal<> pas sengers, and ex|M>sod to their course re marks and scurrilous jests. The steerage passengers were re quired to both supply and cook their own provisions. There was commonly a fierce struggle for n place at tlie gal ley fire, in which the sick and feeble necessarily went to the wall; and some times several days would pass without any warm food being obtained by those who were most in need of it. Again, when there was n storm, or even when the ship experienced heavy weather, the hatches were closed, rendering the atmosphere of tlie steerage almost stilling. In fact, the condition mid treatment of this class of passengers were simply abominable, and such ns to reflect deep d seredit upon the Govern ment for allowing so many years to relapse ere any attempt was made to deal with the evil.— Chambers' Journal. —The Ut^cii Ofcxcrrer and Albany Journal are bragging aliout their aged compositor«.
