Show Glio1 Lnld. X Marriage With an Actor In China. titled, Notes on ess")' and Goblins, ( lB (M We quote the subjoined extraordinary story from the Shan-h- ai of the' London Times ' dated Feb. 12. The writer prefaces his statement with the explanation that the stasia the lowest of professions in Chin", and that play actors and barbers only persons excluded from competition at literary examinations: "There has recently been in cuangnai a celebrated trapediuu named Yang Yeh-li:ouiiir, ham ai.u mis ouiul, young man is reputed to have worked havc in tho hearts of iiis female auditors. At length he erected a yramfe passion, which has resul (d in his ruin. A young Cantonese lady, the daughter of a rfell Cliiiiainan living in iSharmhai, saw and admired him, pined, grew sick, and rel'us. d to be e mforted. Thi fathtr washed his hands of the aflair and went s .ut!., with the kuowl. doe, it is alleged b) the damsel, of wh it would follow. However this may be, the girlV mother at once opened negotiations for matrimony, went through all formalities prescribed by Chinese custom, and eventually handed over her daughter to the actor as his wife. One would have thought this ene'ed the affair, and that social ostracism wa3 the worst the lady and her husband had to encounter. But that would be to calculate without China and Chinese Mand .rums. It chances that the Che Hsicn, or magistrate,, of Shan; hai is a Cantonese, and therefore, of course, sympathizes with that class of the Shanghai population. No sooner was the news abroad than the Cantonese society here flew, metaphorically, to of ab anus, accused Yang Ych-liduction, procured his arrest and torture, and the punishment and imprisonment of his wife, who persisted that there was no abduction at all, that the marriage was formal and proper, aud that she lik' d and meant to stick to her husband. Scandal says the Cauton Guild went so far as to offer 20,000 taels U the magistrate to decapitate a mau who had brought disgrace upon a family with which many of theru were connected. So far, n the dared not however, what he might and the go, but for of evil a Chinese Manda might rin is great ho did. He ordered the wretched Yang 100 blows with the heavy bamboo on the ankle bone the torture of which may be conceived by tapping one's own ankle lightly with one's own cane had him strung up for twelve hours by the thumbs, with the nruis reversed and drawn up behind the back, the effect being, of course, to strain and partly dislocate the shoulders, and he allowed to be fixed round his neck an ingenious collar, which presses on the apple of the throat and produces a constant sanse of choking and irritation, aggravated contiuuallj by the ' inevitable coush; Scandal further says that Yang was able to bribe his jailers with in 200 to free him from the ad will readers but cumbrance; your mit that the first two punishments were enough for marrying a band- some eirl on her own proposal. The girl herself got one hundred blows on the face with a leather strap, the effect of which ia, of course, to re duce the features temporarily to in his recent BorJ,r.TjantJ h;ird A.
