When all are ready a bell sounds, aad though the "till Eignt air 18 heard the shrUl voice of the precentor whining forth the words " Kow tow, kow. tow," upon which the whole as- sembly, numbering upward of one hundred smk upon their knees and proceed to knock the r heads three times upon the paved floor After an intervale of a few moments this is repeated twice, each time kowtowing thrice At the conclusion of the third prostration the worship is over. Th6y rise from their knees and in rejrular order marjh bick to the waiting-rocm, where they disrobe and where pipes are smoked and tea drunk, ac- companied with the usual amount of ex'pec- toration. They then proceed to other temples, where they pay their respects to the tablet of Confucius, to the god of litera- ture, and to the god of war. The vigils have been faithfully kept, and with the first rays of dawn the Cnmaman, high and low, proceeds to call on his relatives and friends. He is decked out in otfijial uniform, button and feather, if he is fortun- ate enough to possess these coveted regalia in any case he brings out his very best, cleanest, and longest gown, the baggiest ot pants, and a thick ca-e of red visiting cards folded in orthodox fashion, on which are printed in iniinpeachabla integrity the characters which represent his name and " lofty surnama." It is not unusual fcr the foreignsr to see his back-yard coolie, or stable-boy. just emerged from twelve months of grease, filth, and unwashedness, standing on the doorstep with beaming face, his whole person got up regardless of expense in a long rustling gown of yellow or purple silk, satin breeches, cap and shoes, all hired for the occasion, in which he presents himself to his master, wishing him the compliments of the season, and at the sama time handing him his card. He then dives into his pocket aad brings forth several pickets of cash wrapped up ia red paper, which he leaves for the "worthy young gentleman and the thousand coins (daughters) of the family, the value of the coutents of these red pack- ages being about 10 cents, representing but an infinitesimal portion of the sums of money which the oblique-eyed onehassqueez- ed out of his master's pocket during the year. He then goes the round of all of his irionda, to whom he exhibits his swagger clothing, making his obeisances at the re- gulated angle of New Year genuflection and observing the proprieties suited to the oc- casion with all the dignity and ease of a w«^ll-bred gentleman. Jn the afternoon he parbaps visits the crowded play-house, con- cert hall, or gambling; dens, and comes home relie^yed of his supeifluous cash. At home he gorges quantities of indigestible greasy food an1 imbibes pot after pot of samshu wine. In two or tbrae days he takes h's gay clothes back to the pawnshop and re- lapses one 3 more into crigical sin another twelve months of seediness, grease and dirt. An tfficial or rich man pays his New Y'ear's calls richly attired in furs, anl rides in his sedan chair, followed by servants carrying boxes of hams, cakes, grapes, oranges, lichees, and sweetmeats, wbioh he presents with eloquent declaiationj of filial affections, to the seniors of his family, or with toadying obiiquiousness of assurances of devotion to his supericrj in offiee. Ha is regaled in turn with cakea. fruits, wine, and tea wher- ever he goes. Everybody comes in for his share of congratulation and good wishe-s ex cept one lonely being, for whom New Y'ear has few charms. It is the undertaker, to whom no pleasant greeting of "I wish you prosperity " ever comes. Hand-Sbaking. The different modes of shaking hands will delineate human character better than any- other single act can c^o, and many peculiari- ties of different persons may be noted in the performance of this social custoa. Who would expect to get a handsome donationâ€" or any donation at all â€" from a man who will give two finger to be shaken, and keeps the others bent" as upon an " itching palm " The hand coldly held out to be shaken and drawn away again as soon as decently may be, indicates a cold, selfish character, while the hand which seeks yours cordially, and unwillingly relinquishes its warm clasp, gives token of a warm disposition, and of a heart full of sympathy for humanity. How much that is in the heart cin be made to « xpress itself through the agency of the fingers 1 Who, having ouce experienced it, has ever forgotten the f jeling conveyed by the eloquent pressure of the hand from a dying friend when the toKgue hw ceased to speak A right hearty grasp of the hand indicates warmth and aroor, while a sotf, lax touch, without a graep, indicates the op- posite characteristics. In the grasp of per- fons with larga-hearted, ganeious minds, there is a " wnole soul" expression most re- freshing and acceptable to kindred spirits but when a man presents yoa with a few cold, clammy, lifeless fingeri, feeling t«T much Uke a dead fish, ana expect you to do all the shaking, it wUl naturally make you think of the hospital and other cheerful '^Contrary to this style, there is a habit among a rude class of giving your hand a croshmg gtMP. ^^'" " °^° most painful.

Bis Tlffle-Hla Duly KrattM. Since Gould's return to New York from been an unusual prteanre at his office, but Ik^IWk l"*° *»a» more enemies on Wall street than Jay G,nld, and there is no telling bJCres, and even hundreds, of mined specul ators awnbe their misfortune to himVand many of these are only awaitiog a huitibld opportunity of revenge. Goald 8e«m« to be coQfcions of this, and therefore heepi oon- tt Ia^ °""' possible. He i,. ludeed. the hidden power ot Wall street. He raroly leaves his office, and no one can obtain ad- mittance until a series of statements have been made. A card ia placed in the visitor's hand, on wnich U printed ss follows State name." " State residence," •' State business " These beirg prmted one above the other, with broad bianks to be filled out, have a rather forbidding appearance, and many who wish to see Gjuld are deterred at the very outset. When the card is sent in, the chances ara much fgunst an interview. There ara not more thi»a a score of persons whom Gould wants to see. Among these are Russell Sg ), H N. Smith, Washington Connor, Col. H»iu, JohnT. Terry, and Gen. Eckbart. Wnen Gould was the moneyed man of the Tribune ha allowed its repcrttra admittance, but at present he exoludisall of this class. Gould reaches hia cifica with a perfected scheme of operation. He is not obliged to look at the morning papers for stock reports, as thes? have been read frcm the "•ticker" as they take plaoe, and if he should be at his^ house they are sput up by telegraph. Bifore he g its to bed Goala Oas a complete idea of all that has been done in Wall street, and he awakeni in the morning with a clear and decisive system for the day's work. It is this anticipition of the future which gives him fcuoh advant?g3 over other operatois. As s5on as he is semed at his desk, Mirosioi bring) in the telegrams tnl aleo all news- papers articles that have a financial import- ance. This is all Gould wants to know. Ha cares nothing for politics or other public matters, except as they may bear upon his interests. Ic will take from one to two hours to rjply to dispatches and to telegraph orders, and as Gould controls nearly five thousand miles of railroad traok this is no small task. While sitting in his office he may bo conferring with men in St, Louis, Chicago, aad San Frincisco almost at the tame time. Then the stock exchange " tick- er" begins its reports, and a half-dczsn brokers are kept under telegraphic orders. By thi? time business calls a-e made. Each man whose card is approved has a brief space given him. In thij manner Gould does a tremendous amount of business in a short time. He eeema always self-posses- sed, aid generally holds the vantage ground, b'at even when cornered he concedes in a handsome manner what might be demanded under a legal prooess. No man can be in (iould'a presence five minutes without feel- ing his power. His eyes have a penetration which ssem to reach the bidden depth of thought. Those eyes, indeed, are a curiosity â€" 80 black, so piercing, and eo sullen. They at once proclaim the selfish power of a re- lentless aotocrat, whoae motto has invari- ably been "rulo or ruin." A Crisis at Pekin. Tiie latest advices from Shanghai report a serious political crisis at Pekin. -The Em- press has publicly degraded Prince Knng and four members of the Privy Council. They were stripped of all their honors be- cause of the dilatory manner in which they have dealt with Tonqnin affiiis. Princj Kung, who had been degraded, is one of the most eminent, and has been one in his time of the most powerful of Chinese statcmen. He was an uncle of the reign- ing E nperor Ki-tsiang, and brother of the Emparor Hieng f ung, w'ao died in August, ISCl. For many years he l«d held im- portant position â- ) in the Empire, and after the deatn of his brother he became Rfgont, and held that office during the minoriiy ot Ki-1siang, during the whole of whose reign he was the practical ruler of China. In January, 1875, his nephew, Tsia-tien, a boy oil/ three years of age, bscime Empiror under the title of Kwang-su, and Prn^e Kung wts continued as Regent, but since then he has been compelled to s-abordinate his views and policy to those of the two Empressesâ€" the' one the Dowager Empress and thrfoiherthe Eaipnsa Mother, and both of them widows ot the Emperor Hieng-fuug. Tee E npresa Dowager died in April, 1881. Pfincs Kung first obtained a reputation in Ejrope and America at the time of the dip- lomatic quarrel which followed the war be- tween Cuina and Great Britain and France. Appoin-.ed absolute Plenipotentiary to ne- gotiate a treaty, be astonished the repre- SBUtatives of the allies by a displiy of dip- lomatic skill they had hardly expected to meet with in China. The treaty winch he concluded was as advaatagcvUs to his coun- try as to England and France, and was ob- served with scrupulous fidelity until litely. To the influence of Prince Kung was due the app3intnien; of Mr. Burlingame as Ea- voy Extraordinary to Foreign poweri, and it is said that he gave the mission a hearty suppDrt, aad did all in his power to make it saccessful. He has done much to extend the resources of Chma and to liberaliz9 her policy, and place her on a footing with the civilized nations of E'Jirope and America. A Sn1)scriber'8 Soliloquy.
