Fmu, China, Ojt. 20, 18G8. The wills of
Pekln are sixty feet high ini forty feet wld
it the top, forming promenade of
nearly twenty-five mllos around the city- A
partition well divides the Tartar from the Chi
nese city, and four gates at the north, south,
east and west afford the only means for pass
fcig the walls, and these ire opened ind oloaed
with the ton. iDside the great wall of the
Tartar City Is another wall made of yellow
tiriokB and oovered with enamelled yellow tiles
called the wall of the Imperial City, whioh is
Inhabited mostly by Tartars and persons oon.
neoted with the government. Inside of the
Imperial City is still another wall of red
fcrloks surrounded by a moat inclosing
the prohibited city, in which the palaoe,
treasury, and publio buildings immediately
eotmeoted with the Error's household are
located. In these sacred preoincts of majesty
no Meg" foot has ever trort, and the myste
ries of lue palae re only known t0 Hw.ot
the most (HitLful aud honored servants of the
Mautobu dynasty. The oelored roofa made of
enamelled tiles of bine, green, red, and yel
low are sen amidst the dense foliage of the
foreBt whioh ornaments the palacft grounds.
Here the Kmppror of China holds hU oourt,
oonnselling only with the Il-gent Mother, his
teschers, aud the few high officers who are ad
mitted to hU presence. He is revered .by the
people as the Son of Heaven, and in theory is
Bopreme, but in practioe only so far as the
people please to obey, as the right of petition
to the throne is recognized as one of the most
sacred customs of the Chinese Empire. I was
Standing by a gate over the moat one day in the
VicitUy of a venerable looking mandarin wear
ing a button of high rank, and sought to en
gage his attention by comparing the time of
day, but he had the advantage of me, as he
had two watches in his girdle and I had only
one. I intimated i desire to view the palaoe
gronnd3, and, astonished at my ignorance aud
impudence, he pointed to the saored enclosure
and then to heaven, signifying that it was in
habited by the Son of lieavep. The inmates
of the prohibited city are not supposed to
lumber more than a thousand, including men,
women, children, eunuchs, and the little
Emperor.
THE EMPEROR.
His Majesty is not quite thirteen years of
ege, and has not yet asunrrmd the reins of
government. Daciug his minority the aotual
regents of the empire are his mothers, as he
is blesBed with several. The first wife of the
late Emperor having failed to furnish an heir
to the throne, the present Emperor is the sou
f one of the auxiliary wives of the deceased
Ilienfung. As it would be au infringement of
Chinese customs for women to attend to any
publio business, the affairs of state, at least
with foreigners, are eond acted by the Prinoe
of Kung, uuole of the Emperor, and reoog
nized head of the Ocvernment daring his
minority,
Big FlBfeT AXTfABAKCB IS 1TSL1C A CELB3TIAL
PAOBAKT.
The first appearance of the Emperor in
publio was on Sunday last. The occasion was
the performance of a filial ceremony devolving
upon the heirs of departed emperors of the
Tartar dynasty of sending to Monkden, the
ancient capital of their raoe in Mantohuria,tha
archives of each successive reign of the Ta
Tsung emperors. A grand pavilion was
ereoted at the east gate of the prohibited city
with a gaudy display of yellow satin, the im
perial color. Paintings of dragons and many
curious devices of the cunning Chinese artists
were employed to give au imposing effect to
the impel lal pageant. The procession was
formed within the prohibited precincts, the
emperor accompanying it only to the pavilion
immediately outside the gate, where he bowed
before the image of his late father and the
archives of his reign as they passed on to the
capital of his ancestors, guarded by a select
body of the Mantchu Bannermen. The archives
of the reign of his illustrious progenitor, Ilien
fnng, need not have been very ponderous, as
be reigned only eleven years, and died ia
exile at thirty. At the approaoh of the Bri
tish and French armies in 1800, lie left the
de'ense of his capital to his troops, and fld
to his summer place at Zehol in Tartary,
where he died. Tills .ceremony will not
Oocur afealii until after the death of the HfiSSent
Emperor, and that in time it is hoped great
hangeB will take place in China. If the little
boy whose deBtiny it may be to rule over
400,000,000 of human beings should grow up
with liberal and enlightened ideas, he may
exercise a powerful influence on the happi
ness of a large portion of the human raoe,
and indlreotly upon those with whom they
may have relations in commerce, in politios
in religion, and in social life. it would ba'
premature to Indulge in any sanguine hopes
of his reign. It must be remembered that the
first impressions of his childhood are the terror
of an invading army, the burning of the sum
mer palace oi Yueu Mlnyneu, the llight into
Tartary, and the subsequent death of bid
father. These events may not have im
pressed him with any friendly feelings
towards foreigners, and his eduoatlon being
confined to the walls of the palaoe, among
women, priests, and eunuchs, and the ener
vating iniluenoe of a court ,are not favorable
to the development of a liberal foreign policy.
At least Peter the Great did not get his eia
atlon in such i tuhool. In his name all the
edicts of the empire are issued and treaties
with foreign powers made. Oar next Presi
j . i . i . 1 1 . . .
ueuuai uieenaga will no aonut contain I
grandiloquent rentenoe respecting "Oar rela
lions with the Emperor of China."
THB BKGOGNIZED HKaD OF THB OOVBIIHMKHT.
The recognized head of the Government
. among foreigners is .the Prince of Kung, an
uncle of the Emperor and President of the
Board of Foreign Affairs. The Prinoe oame
prominently forward in ISCO, when, as a last
resort, he was appointed Imperial Commis
sioner to oonolude a treaty with the allies,
who were then at the gates of Pekin. By
Eromptly conceding the terms dictated by
oid Elgin, peaoe was made, the allied army
withdrawn, and the Mantcha dynasty given
another lease of the Chinese throne. Prinoe
Kung is i good-looking man, about forty years
of age, free and easy in manners, sharp and
quick in conversation, aud preserves in his
deportment a little of the freedom and fire of
the old Tartar race. He is probably as friendly
to foreigners as any other prominent official ia
China, and that is not saying much in his
lavor.
CBHBSB T0LICY R8I.IOIO0S TOlBRATION IX
1'KKltC.
The whole polioy of the Chinese Govern,
sent is to procrastinate and delay any pro
gress or improvement, at least until the Em
peror becomes of age and assumes the duty of
government. In China, all religions are tole
rated in theory by the Government, although
Confucianism may be oalled the State religion.
In Pekin one may certainly have a oholoe of a
great variety of forms of worships, perhaps as
IE DAILY E '
THE
diverse as any other city. The Frostant
have no house for worship, but meet at the
private residence of some one ef the mission
aries on the Babbath, and on several evenings
during the week. Services are conducted each
8abbath acoordicg to the Roman Cathello
foim at the Frenon Legation, in Eplsoopal at
the British Legation, and in the forms of the
Greek Churoh at the Russian Legation. The
Roman Catholio missionaries have two rery
fine chnrohes for the worship of Chinese con
verts within the walls of the city, and at these
chnrohes yon may observe the aotual evi
dences of beneficial missionary effort in re
spectable eongregations of male and female
Chinese, elad in comfortable costume, and
paying devout attention to the servloes.
CONFUCIAN TEMPtBS KOTAt RKaiBTBY.
Confucian temples abound in China. The
largest and finest is in Pekln, and is said to
contain a portrait of the great moralist.
WorshifS on celebrations may be held here at
intervals, but Confucius ordained no Sabbath
or particular day of worship or rest. The
ceremonies of state are oondujted at Confu
cian temples, and in this the register of the
present dynasty is kept, where eaoh Emperor
may register his name upon asceuding the
throne. In the courtyard are somo trees
paid to be five hundred years old, aud some
drum-shaped stones, dating eight hundred
years B. C. There are a groat many tablets
of marble, full of inscriptions in the Chinese
classics eo well cut that, it is said,
opies have been printed from them. If
any Chinese temple id dedicated to God, it is
the Temple of Heaven, at Pekin. The most
solemn worship of the empire was formerly
oonduoted in this temple. It is a grand
stiucture, erected on an immense altar of
marble construction, surrounded by balus
trades oi the same material beautifully carved.
The grounds are a mile square, surrounded by
a high wall, and within the inolosure paved
walks, fine avenues of trees, and grassy lawns
afford a delightful retreat from the dust of
Pekin. The building is circular in form, and
has a three-story roof, oovered with blue
enamelled tiles, surrounded by a large gilt
ball, and is by far the most striking piece
of architecture in the vicinity of Pekin. The
Emperors of China formerly made an annual
visit here for the purpose of worshipping the
invisible God, and the ceremonies were pre
ceded by fasting thiee days ia an adjoining
building, and were attended with burnt offer
ings in the altar, which retains marks of the
sacrificial fires.
TKMrLE OH EARTH.
Opposite to the Temple of Heaven, in a
similar enclosure a mile square, is the Temple
of Earth, dedicated to the worship of the earth
and its products, or the Genius of Agricul
ture, where tradition says the Emperor for
merly enoonraged that noble pursuit by
ploughing and sowiug with his own hands;
but it has been a long time since plough or
hoe either have performed service at this
ehrine, as the whole place is in ruius, and the
ground so grown up with weeds and grass
that the walks are quite impassable. The
agricultural implements ou exhibition here
look as if they had been preserved in the ark.
I.AMA TEMPLKS.
The Lama tetuple?, or Larulsaries, are very
interesting to a stranger. The worship is
Buddhist, under the leadership of the Grand
Lama of Thibet, who is the recognized head of
his religion, as the Pope is the head of the'
Roman Catholic Churni. The priests are
mo&tly Mongolians, and these establishments
are liberally pensioned by the Chinese Gov
ernment for reasons of state policy. Some of
the Lamiearies contain over a thousand priests,
and these are also nurseries of the order. I
was warned of the danger to foreigners of
entering the sacred precincts of a Lama
temple, but found them very civil. The bell
was tolling for afternoon sorvioe, and I wa3
politely shown to a seat. The candles
were burning on the altar, and direotly
the house was filled with hundreds of priests,
dressed in yellow robes, wearing a cap of the
same color, shaped like a helmet, with a
camel's bair fringe arched over the top. As I
did not understand a word of the service, my
mind was captivated by the music of the
chant, carried by hundreds of men and boys,
from the deepest bass to the finest tenor its
scale was superior to anything I had imagined
possible here. I was rewardod for my devo
tion by a sight ef an image of Buddha, seventy-live
feet high, aud went away muou im
pressed by the earnestness and simplicity of
the Lnma worship.
MOlUXlMfcDAN MOSQUB.
A Mohammedan mosque also appears within
the imperial walls, and has a story eo senti
mental that it must be extraneous to China.
A former emperor had a Persian wife, who
pined for something to remind her of her
native land, as all hope of returning there
had been relinquished upon entering her im
perial prison, and to please the disconsolate
Jady the emperos caused a mosque to be
reared within eight of her palaoe windows.
that she might gaze upon the worship of the
rropnet. a lew oi tne faituuu worship here,
as China numbers among her subjeots large
populations of Mohammedans. It is remark
able that the oldest religion in the world is
sot represented here a Jewish synagogue
may be found in almeat any other capital city.
THE POIIBION LBCATIOW.
The foreign legations established in Pekin
are the British, French, Russian, American,
Prussian, and Spanish, and their members,
with a few missionaries and the employes in
the Imperial Maritime Customs, form the For
eign Society of Ptking, numbering 100 or 150
persons.
PEKIN HOUSES STBEETSrCBI.IC COXVRYAVCBS.
A few houses are built of brick; but the
prevailing building material is the adobe, a sun
dried brick, made in the same manner as the
Israelites made them for the Egyptians. The
roofs of the houses are generally oovered with
tiles, and universally have the shape and In
clination oi a tent-cover following the custom
of their nomadio ancestors, who lived in tents.
Window glass is almost unknown iu China,
oiled paper being used as a substitute, ad'
milting light dimly. The streets are un
paved, and very filthy. In wet weather they
are a sea of mud, and in dry weather form a
bed of dust. The only publio oonveyanoes ia
Pekin are covered carta without springs
Strong, unwieldy vehicles, made for endu
rance more than comfort. Ia fact, the torture
of riding in one of them through the rough,
unpaved streets or broken highways can
never be described. The passenger gets in
and sits CTOss-legged on some cushions, with
the curtain drawn in front to- prevent beiug
smothered wiih the dust. A little window of
gauze on each side admits the only light to
cheer your misery, aud you desperately braes
yourself agaiustthe aides or back, expecting a
dislocation of your frame at every jolt. Tuere
is not a single vehiole oa springs in Pekin,
and with the present streets and roads one
would be quite useless. The carriage which
Lord Maoartney brought the Emperor as a
present from the English government ia the
last century has never been nsed. - Ltdies and
men of rank or wealth are carried in pilan
quins borne by coolies. A Pekln eart costs as
much per boar as a eab in London, and a
palanquin with four oooliea is equal in expense
to a carriage ia Kir York.

The winter in Tekin la severe, and the ques
tion of Joel may properly be asked. Coat Is
known to exist in great qnantlttes in the vici
nity, and was used by the Chinese i thousand
years ago as fuel, but they have never opened
the mines by any underground workings, for
fear they would destroy the equilibrium of the
earth, and turn the Celestial Empire upside
down. The question of allowing the ooal
mines to be opened is now being disoussod,
and if thuir prejudice and superstitions oould
be overcome, a great resource would be created
and employment given to an over-orowdel
population.

The use of gas 1b yet a mystery to the Celes

their purposes as well as they did their ances
tors. An experiment 1b bow being made at
the office of the Impsrial Customs, under the
superintendence of Robert Hart, Iuspeolor
General of Maritime Customs, who may cause
the illumination of China in more ways than
one, as from his ofQoial position and peculiar
relation to the Chinese Government he can
exercise a larger influence for the progress
and improvement of China than auy other
man in the empire.
THE POLICB BRWERAOB SDrrLY OP WATKR.
The police of the city of Pekin is rigid
enough, as it is a great citadel and city of
officials. The night watonuiau goes around
twisting a rattle or beating two stick together
all night, to warn thieves that he is about, on
the principle that prevention is bettor than
cure. The Chinese formerly made gigantio
improvements in canals, aul the interior com
munication by water is wonderful, bnt they
have no sewerage in their cities, and no idea
of introducing water for the use of the in
habitantsperhaps they have no use for it;
they drink, and never wash themselves. In
Pekin the water is drawn from wells, but ia
very hard. The water in the canals and lakes
in the city is oovered with a green scum,
whioh detracts somewhat from the beauty of
the Bcenery as well as the desire to use it.
WHAT IB WAKTKD.
If some Baron Haussmaun would arise in
Pekin, and had a Napoleon to sustain him, it
might) be made a delightful capital. A rail
road of (i00 miles would reaoh the sea at the
month of the Pelho river. Agrioultnral re
sources and fruits are abundant. The pas
tures of Mongolia furnish the finest meats, and
the wilds of Mantchnria afford abundant game.
The capital of the empire of 400,000,000 of
human beings without railroads, telegraphs,
gas-works, water-works, newspapers, or any
other of the institutions which we call evi
dences of civilization I What oan be expected
to come from it ? If the city were engulfed
by an earthquake to-morrow, it would be a
month before any other capital would hear of
it, and then no exchanges would be disturbed,
no ties severed, no tears shed. It is a dead
city, and, until connected with the world by
steam and eleotrioity, and bound to Christen
dom by the ties of a common religion, it can
have no human brotherhood. r.
THE iLW nAXPSUIRE TRAGEDY.
i Awful Story of Crime and Harder.
Corrtspondence of the ISostcn Journal,
Claremoht, N. II., Jan. 22. Since every
particular connected with so singular and
horrid a murder as that which was perpe
trated in this town on the evening of the 18th
instant is of interest to the publio, you will, I
am sure, be glad of such facts connected with
the muiderer ai-id the murdered man as can
be gathered. A great many rumors are afloat
as to the doings ana sayings or the parties at
different times, but I intend to give you only
such statements as are well authenticated.
James Woodell, father of George Wooden,
the murdered man, and grandfather of Wm.
N. Kenney, the murderer, is eighty-eight
years old, but is very well and active for a
man of his age. He is a very honest, upright
man, though somewhat eccentric, lie came
to this country from England, with his wife,
when quite young, and worked upon the farm
of the late Isaac Hubbard, as his foreman, for
many years, his wife working on the farm
much of the summer, and in the house of Mr.
Hubbard the rest of the time. By great in
dustry and prudence he earned and saved
money enough to buy the farm on which he
sow lives. The farm contains about two hun
dred acres, is four miles from the village, on
the western slope of what is known as Town
lull, borders on Connecticut river, is nearly
two miles from aijy publio road, and about a
mile from any neighbor.
Mr. Woodell had nve cnuaren, two sons ana
three daughters. The oldest son, George, the
murdered man, was neitner very intelligent
nor good tempered. He married and raised
up two daughters, and some ten or twelve
years since his wife died, and three or four
years ago ne marriea a wiaow witu one uoy,
now about eighteen years old, and came home
to live on the farm with his father This boy
lived at home with his mother until about a
week before the murder, when, by reason of
fear of Kenney, who had threatened him, he
left and went to .live with a relative at Leba
non. Kenney married the third, and favorite
daughterof Woodell, who gave birth to William
N. Kenney, and died when he was but a few
years old. He was the only child of his favo
rite daughter, and the old man took him
home, brought him up, and gave him a good
common school education, and, it is said, in
tended to make him heir to a large share of
his property.
Kenney lived with his grandfather until
three or four years ago, or about the time
when George came home. Last summer he
spent in the lumber regions of Maine, and
came home the last ot October. George lived
in an old house a few rods from his father's.
A jealousy sprang up between George and
Kenney about the final disposition of the old
man's property; they had frequently quar
relled; Kenney had threatened the life of
Ueorce, and was of snob, a disposition that
neighbors had feared that he would kill some
Ot the family.
Mrs. Woodell, the mother of George, and
grandmother of Kenney, has been supposed
to be insane for several years, although she
has been at home all the while.
On the afternoan of the murder, about half
past 4 o'clock, Kenney went into George's
bouse without any coat on, singing and jump
ing, and took a chair and broke it. Mrs.
Woodell remonstrated with him, to which he
showed the greatest indilferenoe. He soon
started to go ont, when George asked him
what his hurry was. He said he was going
to milk, and went out. He went to his
grandfather's took the pail, milked, carried
the milk into the house, went direotly out,
took an axe, which be had ground a few days
before, from the woodshed, went to George's
house, ruined in with a kind of Indian war
whoop, and made an attack upon George, who
was at the supper table, with a child about a
year old in his arms. Mrs. Woodell came from
the bedroom adjoining, and said; "Willie,
don't kill George and the baby,'' and tried to
separate them, when Kenney struok her with
the axe twice, cutting through her skull over
the right eye, and inflicting another severe
wound upon the aide of her head. She was
insensible for a few moments, and when she
came to, George was lying upon his faoe on
the floor, the Uood streaming from his neok.
Kenney sr.yx and appearances seem to justify
this conol iion that he felled George to the
floor with the axe; sprang upon his back, aul
With 'a large pockt-kuife belonging to his
grandmother cut his throat, and immediately
made his esoape. There were three terrible
gashes upon the left side of the neok, one of
whioh severed the Jugular vein and carotid
artery. Mrs. Woodell asked George if she
should not go And tell his father, and he re
pl'ed in a faint whisper, yes. She took the
child from the floor in one arm, and with the
other band to her head, went down to the old
man's house, and oa'd; "Willie Kenney has
killed George, and nearly killed me and the
baby." She said there was a pteoe of glass
in her head, and called npon Mrs. Byrnes to
pull it out.
The old man Woodell went immediately to
the house and lound George upon the floor
breathing his last. He then went to the house
of the nearest neighbor, about a mile, and
requested them to go for a dootor, saying that
George and Kenney bad been having a light,
and that George was badly hurt. Dr. Tolles
renebnd the house between eight and nine
o'clock; found that George bad been deal
some time; dressed the wounds of Mrs. Wood
ell, returned to the village about half-past
eleven, and notified the Selectmen of what had
occUtred, and they immediately sent men in
pursuit of Kenney, and went with others to
the horrible scene.
The next morning Albro Blodgett, acting as
coroner, summoned William Clark, Otis F. R.
Waite, and William Jones as jurors, to appear
at the house of the murdered man. There
they witnessed a soene whioh beggars descrip
tion. George Woodell was upon the floor, faoe
down. The floor was covered with blood for
feet around the body; his watoh and money
were in hia pockets undisturbed; the supper
table waa upset, and the food and dishes were
oovered with blood; near the body was an axe,
which, with the handle, waa also covered with 1
blood, and a pitohforK with the handle broken,
giving the idea that George had nsed it in de
fending himself. The stove, a bed in the room,
the furniture and the walls, and the floor
and the walls of a narrow entry, were smeared
with blood, showing conclusively that des
perate struggle had taken place there, whioh
was undoubtedly the case, as George was the
stronger of the two. The evidence of Mrs.
George Woodell, the old man Woodell, Mrs.
Byrnes, and Dr. Tolles was taken, and the
jury returned , a verdiot in accordance with
the facts.
On the night of the murder Kenney went,
as he says, without coat or hat, and without
money, near fourteen miles, to a barn not far
from Cold Pond, on the road from here to
Lempster, arriving there about 12 o'olock,
and secreted himself in the barn, and remained
there until after dark on Thursday night,
when he returned to his grandfather's house
about 12 o'clook, as he went away, without
coat or hat, and his clothes stiff with blood.
He walked directly into the house, and found
there the father of George's wife, who did not
know him. Kenney begged to be allowed to
warm himself by the fire. The old gentleman
and the son of young Mrs. Woodell were
called. Kenney was warmed, given some
supper, and went to bed, when offloerg were
sent for, who arrested him.
While in the hands of the officers Kenney
said that he was not sorry for what he had
done; that he intended to kill the whole
family, and came back for that purpose, but
found himself very much exhausted, and
f that there were more people at the house than
he expected to see.
As has been stated, Kenney was committed
to jail to await the session of the Supreme
Judicial Court at Newport next Tuesday. He
will undoubtedly have his trial during the
term. Mrs. Woodell is still alive, and may
recover, though it is more likely that when
iaflammation sets in she will die, in spite of
medical skill. Hundreds of people visited the1
scene of the murder on Tuesday, aud the4
excitement caused by it is far from being
allayed.
