Of the private life of the Emperor and his Queens we can know but little, for but little is known even in China. Besides his city palaces, he has his coun- try palaces among the hills some twelve or fifteen miles from the city, where, during the intense heats of summer, he seeks the delights of coolness and ver- dure. One of these great palaces was rifled 9Sid burned by the English and French troops in their advance upon Peking in 1860. It was described as a luxurious and delicious retreat. The... Button of the Mandarin or dig- nitary all have heard of, but so far I have seen nothing which defines it. It is a symbol of rank worn on the top of the cap, and is of nine varieties, ex- pressing so many degp*ees of ofiicial dis- tinction : 1. the plain coral ; 2. the fig- ured coral; 3. the blue-transparent; 4. the blue-dark; 6. the white-transpar- ent; 6. the white-opake; 7. the plain gold ; 8. the figured gold ; 9. the silver. To Peking are gathered the taxes of the Empire, many of which are paid in kind, so that there exist within the walls vast granaries and storehouses for their reception.
