Al. bfoLood, 1115545 filar, FRIDAY, AUG. 14, 1596, Deane the' past week the heat had been intense and the result, espeoially in large oities, Las been very disastrous to human life. In addition, a great many oases of sun stroke are reported, with probable fatal termination in not a few MOS, A nevem; contest le expected in the Do- minion bye -election in North Grey. Mr. Clark, the member 'doted on Jttne 23rd, died of typhoid fever. Hon. Mr, Pater- son, of Brantford, Minister of Customs, is the Liberal candidato, and Mr. Mo. Laughlin, whom Mr. Clark defeated, is oarrying the Conservative banner. Tho conetitueney is a Conservative stronghold formerly the seat of Judge Masson, now of Goderich, but was among the seats gained by the Liberals at last election. The expectations are that Mr. Paterson will win as his position in the new Cabi- net strengthens the hands of an already acknowledged able man. Nomination takes place next Tuesday and polling a, week later. CANADA in to be visited by the great Chinese director in the person of Li Hung Chang. He will be the guest of the Do- minion Government at Ottawa. The following personal sketch :oncoming him will no doubt be of interest to many :- Li Hung Chang is a remarkable man. He is somewhat above the middle height, and his erect bearing and steady gait bear little evidence of the 77 years that have passed over his head, but his wrinkled face and scant hair, plaited in the usual queue, prove that they have left their marks ; eyes apparently ex- presoionless, but really ceaselessly in- quiring and observing ; a thin, gray moustache hanging down and a firm akin ; the body dressed in the flowing garments, but of fine silk texture, such ae tee see on Chinese pictures and tea chests. This is Li Hung Chang, who, old man as he is, can make or mar the great Chinese empire. The ,days of the opium trade first brought Li Hong Chang's name in notice to the history of China. He held a position somewhat re- sembling that of collector of the port of New York, in the province of Two Mange, of which Nanking is the capital, and which is the most productive of the middle kingdom. He Iwas thrown into contact with a very energetic young British otficee, and when the rebels were threatening the capital he showed his discernment by incrusting the subju- gation of the rebels to the foreigner, Chinese Gordon. History toile the result. Li's share in the reduction of the rebels attracted attention, and when China's arrogance and miserable duple. city brought the armies of .England and France before the gates of Pekin, when the emperor and his court had forsaken the capital and a humiliating peace by which the repreeentatives of foreign powers were admitted witbio the sacred walls was inevitable, Li Hung Chang saw his chance. The emperor died while the enemy was within the capital walls. Prince Hung succeeded in having the empress dowager proclaimed as regent during the minority of Ler son. It was then that Li Hung Chang rose in dignity, until be was appointed tutor of the son of the heavens. When the latter became of age Li Hung Chang was appointed president of the Teeing Li Yemen, or foreign °Bice. Li Hung Chang is a very rich man, his fortune being estimated at 500,000,000 taele (1 tae' being about 85 cents.) He owns several cotton mills and silk filatures, and knows a good thing when he sees it. His investments turn out very profitable as a rule, but there is not much chance that Yankee promoters will get a chance at his bank account. Li:gtowel. Robt.
