SOME WELCOMED A NEW STADE OF THINGS. | | Coronations of Richard II, Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth, Cherles II, George III. And Victoria. Speciod to the Whig Not a few of our Faglish corona tions stand out as heralding, to speak, a new state of things, as puint ing the way to a reign no less glor ious than itz commencement No coronation, of any of those in the middle ages, bap left #0 deep und enduring a mmirk upon history as that of Richard 1. The late meign had in a strangely inglorious fashion after the brilliant features it » | had displayed in earlier times. Dut { now everything seemed to be on the ve of a ghange: The feeble and half inthecile old King was replaced on the | throne of England by this beautiful 1 hoy, whom the whole nation was pre | pared both to weléome and to love, if only for the sake of his great father, | Fidward, the Black Prioce. The coronation itseli was one of the most splendid ever witvessed. A glor; | fous procession passed on its way from the tower," throngh Cheapside, and the other great thiroughfares of the city, along the Strand, and so to Westminster, Every possible variety of entertainment met the eve; but the centre of the whole glorious pageant was Richard bimsel, as he passed along, clad in his white 'raiment, and { surrounded qv a train of knights, whe were drawn hon some of the noblest | blood in the land. ® Everything was | profuse, splendid, and extravagant. A | great fountain in Ol Palace-yard, | fashioned like an eagle, spouted no | less than seven different kinds © of wine, and, in fact, the entire banquet was conducted on lines of equal pro fusion. The most interesting feature of this coronation was, however, the king's champion, who then showed himself to the people of England in full state for the first time. His whole get-up | was magnificent; his charger was the "het but one" that the stables of the king could supply. He was flank ed on either side by his shield bearer and sword-hearer; while on the weap on borne by the former were inscribr ed the words, "Dimico pro rage," a playful pus upon the champion's own name. In spite of so splendid and so aus picious an opening, the reign which followed was a bitter failure from be- ginning to end, and the dark tragndy which finally consummated it eemx a strange contrast to the glories of the coronation day. Another splendid coronation was that of queen Anne Boleyn. No paine were spared by king Harry to render this event an epoch-making day in the minds of the English people, As a modern historian has well expressed it : "Henry may the sight for the first time in public of so beautiful a creature, surrounded , by the moet magnificent pageant which London had witnessed since the wun known day on which the first stone of it was laid, and bearing, in her bosom the long-hoped-for inheritor of the English crown, might induce a chival rous nation to forget what it was the interest of no lord subject to remem- ber longer, and to offer her an English welcome to the throne." The citizens of London seem to have striven in the effort to see who could outvie the other the most, The strects were freshly strewn with gravel. Corn- hill and Gracechurch street were hung with arfras and tapestry, and even with rich ecarpet-work from Persia. Cheapside was one blaze of clath-of- gold and tissue and velvet. Up and down these streets, thronged as they were with the city companies arrayed Dr.Chase in the Lumber Camp.

Beautiful though the actual procession itgelf was, still all eyes awaited the queen. She was seat- od in "as white chariot drawn by two palfréve in white damask which swepg the gromnd, a golden canopy borne above it, making music with silver hells"; while in the chariot sat the observed of all observers, the beautiful occasion of all this glittering homage; dressed in while tissue robes, her fair hair flowing lgose over her shoulders, and her temples circled with a light coronet of gold and diamonds." But there have been other corona: tions not less magnificent in their set ting, but still move in the mign of which they were the harbingers. The extreme Papists tried hard to throw cold water upon the covenation «fi princess Elizabeth. Only one of the Marian bishops could be prevailed up on to officiate at the ceremony--Ogle- thrope, bishops of Carlisle. = Every- thing that could be done was done to draw evil aoguries : from thir event. Still the mass of the people welcomed the new queen with open arms. 'The Londoners, at any rate, with the hor still haunting their © minds, did their utmost to ensure the queen a right loval welcome as she passed on kh progress from the tower to West minster. "The aldermen wept for joy as she went by. Groups of children waited for her with their little songs at the crosses and conduits. Poor wo- men, though it' was midwinter, flung their nosegays into her lap. In Cheap- side the corporation presented her with an English bible, She kissed it, 'thanking the city for their gift,' and saying "she would diligently read therein." ". Under such happy omens was one of the proudest reigns in English history inaugurated. Charles II's displayed, with ev- en greater emphasis than that of queen Elizabeth, the strength of are action in the popular mind, combined with the hope that an altogether new era was ahout to set in witn the re turn of the exiled monarch. A aplen- did ceremonial took place, thanks to the general enthusiasm at the time. In fact, according to a well-known fontemporary writer, " the ceremony of the King's coronation was done with the greatest solemnity and glory that ever, any had seen "' in the king. dom. ly The act of erowning was performed by archbhi p Juxon, who hy a strange piece of irony had actually attended Charles I. when he was mur. dered upon the scafiolu at Whitehall. It must have been a hard task for him to go through, because he was very old and infirm; in fact, nearly the whole of the remaining portion of the service was performed by Shel don, the bishop of London. We can well imagine the joy which must have been brought to the heart of this loy- al adherent of the Stuart cause. The first two Hanoverian monarchs were merely tolerated, bat with the third there came a grand outhurst of loyalty. George IIL. was young; he was popular; he had only that me ment espoused a young and charming bride; and, above all, be made no secret of the fact that he gloried in the name of Englishman, A mag nificent ceremonial took place. For the first time we begin to hear of the enormous prices paid, for seats London seems to have béen crammed as full' as ever it could hold. Num bers of people spent the night in the open air. The route the procession passed through was nothing less than a sea of faces. Although the general details were terribly maddled, the whole thing being protracted to a most. inordinate length, still it went off with mach enthusiasm, and noth ing occurred to mar the general pop wlarity of the occasion. It was at this coronation that Horace Walpole made hit well-known remark, so char acteristic of the man: "What is the A corona- tion. What do people most talk about ? = A coronation. What is the thing most delightful to have passed? A coronation." It is difficult to spenk of Victoria's coronation when our minds are full, even today, of the sense of loss we have sustained. Never, however, was coronation more enthusiastically wel comed; never was there a more spon taneous outburst of loyalty; never was there a reign whi nore abun dantly fulfilled the hopes and aspira tions which were raised at its en eroachment. As a at writer has said: " There may have heen other solemmities more beautiful, or more strange, or more touching, but none at onee so gorgeous and so impress ive in recollection, in actual sight, and in promise of what was to be."

Six house boats lie in a row ready to begin their journey 'at day-break. With the exception of one, a Japan ese consul, all ave filled with mission aries, returning to their work in the west. At the break of dawn the boats are again put in motion. eping through the small windows a last glimpee is seen of the big steamers that bring the produce of the world to this point to be transhipped upon native boats, for their distribution in the inland provinces of Sz-Chuab, Kwei Chow, and. Yuin Nan. Ten miles from Ichang is a custom station under the supervision of for eigners, An officer boards the boat to make inspection. If he glances into the hold, he will see' a new printing press. This will be the fourth press for the West China misgion. It is a great privilege to introduce such an agency for the promotion of christian ity and christian civilization in tc these popnlous western provinces. The official inspection over, house boats, with sails spread re same their journey. Favorable breez es assist, and on the second day a tarn in the river discloses the first rapid that forms the spring barrier to steam navigation. Well may the hearts of the missionaries beat more rapidly as they gaze upon the turbul ent waters, over which their boats must go. All their goods are at the mercy of two or three bamboo ropes, their lines being safe only because they prefer to walk. The excitement of the two days delay at the rapids cannot be easily described. To avoid the smashing end crashing that re sults when anchored over night be tween the large cargo junks that line up at the 'hase of the ra pid, the house boats amdiored lower down in quieter waters, Scarcely had they anchored, however, before there was a shout from the crowd on the bank, Climbing on the rool of the boat » thrilling scene presented itself. ' A large boat, with over twenly men, descending the rapids, lost its course, and dashed against the rocks, At 2 moment's notice thes vessel flew into a thousand pieces. Twenty odd men could be seen clmging to the broke fragments as they floated down the stream, tossed by the angry billows Without immediate aid scarcely a soul could expect to endure the terrible or the the shove shot out small, red boats punt-shape, witd a celerity that scem wn marvellous ing waters amid broken planks, cars crossbeams, and their clinging hu man freight, they dashed. As the rowers phied their oars, experienced men stood braced, with long poles ir their hands. Dexterously these poles were held out as the little boats leap ed from wave to wave, and one by one the drowning men grasped the prof fered help and Were skillfully landed in the boat. All saved ? Alas, no. Yonder are three men. battling with the wreeck and waves. They work hard. The poles are al most within an arm's length, but strength fails the clinging men, as the wreck is tossed anew by a small er rapid. They sink only to thrown up again father down stream, lifeless. Though a feeling over one at the loss of life, vet dark picture has its silver lining lin the heroic efforts made by the life saving crows, Great oredit is reflected uport the Chinese government for maintaining so excellent a life-saving service. Life boats are stationed at all the more dangerous portions of the Upper Yang Tei river. At the rapids one excitement only precedes another by a short space 'of time. A- houseboat contaifiing ten young ladies of the China/inland miis- sion. is. ready to ascend. There is a good wind and in half an hour their boat is salely over and they proceed on their way rejoicing. The next is occupied by a couple of Japanese. It is dark, but they are anxious to get on, and urge the captain against bis will to proceed, The ropes ure stretch oi atross the rapid, the boat moves into the whithng current and al! wems well. Suddenly the boat veers, the rope snaps, a second wreck whi down, Alas, it is too late in the evening for effective work by the life boats and several men aon onaided.

Hearts in mouth, all gazed at the whirling boat. No merey shone from those massive rocks in the rear. Down she flew, but: the current veers and aided by the wind, she is swept right across the river to the opposite bank, where a back current catches the boat and draws her right into the teeth of the rapid. She trembles a moment in the foam: then the sailors with their long sweep turn her head into the current Down she comes, but now aided by a strong breeze, she recrosses the river and in a few mo ments lics anchored at the base of the junks, where she must now await two days and where the turbulence of the waters and the grinding of the larger vessels banish both contentment and sleep. Unabashed by the dangerous experi- ences of the first boat, the second boat started out to try her fortune in rounding the finks. Superior in her sailing qualities she succeeded in the first attempt and in a few hours was ready to make the ascent of the rapids. Sixty or seventy men aud children attached to the bamboo repes pull. Anxiously her movements wer watched by those most interested. Ev wything was progressing. finely. The prow had passed over the steepest part when snap went the rope. The captain, a careful voung man, had made provisions for such an emer gency, by stretching an anchor rope to the shore. This rope held until the broken one was replaced Seon she was. on her way again and in a whort time reached the smooth waters ahove, The following evening the remainder of the successfully as ended the rapids, and with a fair breeze all sailed through the tiful gorge, where last vear a new (German steamer struck a rock and sank.
