LI HUNG CHANG.

The real ruler of China is the Viceroy, Li Hung Chang. When General Grant made the tour of the world, he only met four great statesmen, according to his Idea of a great statesman. They were j Bismarck, GUmbetfea, King Leopold, and | Li Hung Chang. The last is, without doubt, the most liberal and progressive man among the Chinese, the only one m high place and power really anxious to see civilisation enter China, and to see his country follow the remainder ot the world m the way of progress. Without him they would not Lave had one modern man-of-war or even a single gun. It was he who was Commander-in-Chlef of the • Imperial forces (aided by Gordon > during the great Taipintr rebellion, which cost' China ten million lives, and which resulted m the overthrow of the rebels. It was he who settled the difficulties with Bussia m 1.881. and it is who is called m to advise the Emperor when any crisis takes place m the affairs cf the nation, n.was he who introduced the telegraph into China about ten years ago, and it is he who is now doing all m hw power to develop the resources of the country. Hew now seventy years of age. In China office and scholarship go together, and Li Hung Chang is one of the most noted scholars m China. He has passed three public examinations, which means having been three times one of the 200 of the successful out of 15,000 competitors, and at the last one he received the highest degree. He is a fellow of the Hanlin College, the most learned body m China. When a man rises above the common herd he is assailed on all sides. It is so m all countries. Li Hung Chang has many enemies. But he has hitherto always succeeded m baffling them. He does not live in»Pekin, bob has his palace m Tientsin, 90 miles from the capital, where be is surrounded by his armies, and has his fleet near at hand. The members of the Grand Council, who sit m Pekin, hate the Viceroy with a profound hatred, And have tried several times to get rid of him by means which recall those used m the middle ages. But Li Hung Chang is too well guarded m Tientsin. Then his enemies resolved to get him to Pekin. They persuaded the Emperor and iris mother that the Viceroy's ambition might lead him to overthrow the existing dynasty and make himielf a monarch, and that it wai imperative he should live m Pekin, where the Grand Council could watch him, The Emperor accordingly ordered Li Hung Chang to make his headquarters m Pekin. He took no notice of the Imperial com mand. It was twice repeated, the last being so imperative In tone that he at j once replied, " I am comine," he wrote, 11 arrange quarters for the 15,000 troops who accompany me." This threw the members of the Grand Council into a state of alarm, and the result was that Li and his soldiers were told to remain where they were.

The Bank of New Zealand

Wellington, September 26 A meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Hew Zealand was held to-day. About fifty were present, and Mr Murray presided. The Chairman said then was not a time to say anything about the Bank's affairs, and not being a director or official they could not expect him to do so. He had simply taken a special mission with re gard to the guarantee of two millions which would add strength and stability to the Bank. Next, an to the right and duty ot Government to appoint the prssident and auditor, some people thought political ap pointments would be made* He felt confi dent Government would make good selec tions. Government would know no more of the affairs of the customers of the Bank than they did m the past. It was quite erroneous to suppose Government could know anything •bout the confidential affairs. The president would only interfere to stop improber busi ness. As to the proposed amalgamation with the Colonial Bank [he said the chief motive m promoting the project was to add largely to the business, and therefore to the profits of the Bank. He believed that at first Government was favorable to the scheme, and that some iurcuiristances must have arisen to change their views. He proposed that the Hon. W. Johhston, Messrs W. Booth, M. Kennedy, T. G. MeCarehy, and Richard A. Glynn, be elected new directors. He explained that the London Board had resigned. Mr Lodder moved that the number be in creased to eight, but the motion was not seconded. The chairman faid the shareholders were liable to Government for £10 per share. Mr MeKenzi© said the shareholders of the Bank had been very roujrhly treated by Government. The Bank had formerly rendered Government great service, and had now a right to expect every consideration m return. He failed to ee«rhow the Pank had drifted into its present position, whereas not long since business was reported to be sound. Mr Murray said the necessity of having to apply to Government for the guarantee arose froir a fall m the profits, not so much of the Bank as the Estates Company. There had been a fall m values, and trade was bad, and therefore the directors found themselves unable to pay a dividend. Other shareholders thought more infor mation should be given, bot Mr Murray ex plained that he was not there to discuss the Bank affairs. Mr Murray said all branches of the Bank were paying, bot the position was that they were not paying enough, and he said the Barik could do twice the amount of business without any appreciable addition to the expense. No Bank m the colonies, he said, had faced a position such as this Bank had on two occasions. He fixed on five as the number of directors chiefly on grounds of economy, and that large director ate were undesirable Mr Ryley, of Dunedin, deprecated fault finding, as those who had been the cause ot the Bank s position were not there. Cir cumstances had been operating lately which brought down values, and the Bank was among other sufferers. He trusted no undue hardship would be placed on the share holders m the way of calls. He supported the power given to Government to appoint president and auditor, and said as a result of inquiries he would support the boird nominated by Mr Murray. The motion was then put and carried. The Hon. W. Johnston, replying on be half of the directors, said they accepted | office determined to inflict no hardship on the shareholders. The meeting then closed.

I had suffered for three .years, and tpmt a good deal m doctors and medicines, bus got no relief. I was obliged to wnik with the help of a stick, and had given up all hopes of ever getting better. I was unable to. bend my knee, pufferiog great pain, whiah made me sometimes faint. I got on* bottle of the L0ND01? BHEUMA'IIC CUBE, and the fir?t rubbing gave me euoh relief trat I oould leap for joy, and the day following I wa t able to walk without my etiok aod go abou my work as usual. Ob, such a change ! I wae suffering aleo with my wrists and hands, and wae unable to sew or knit for a Jong time. I ruboed them well with the Cure, and oan now do my sewing, knitting, and house work as fresh as ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors are astonished at me, and I advise them all to use the LONDON BBEUMATIO CUBE for all their complaints. You oan use this as you please. Mks Andrew Gardner. Sefton, October 21,1890. I hereby bear testimony to the g-eat relief I got by using the LONDON RHEUMATIC CUKE. I was suffering terrible pain mmy shoulders with rheumatism, preventing me from workiog and sleeping. I used one bottle, and am thankful to say the pain has gone. I believe it is a remedy everyone should have m their possession. I naver had its equal, P. Berbym»n. Springbank, Moeraki, March 5,1891, To Mr Walker. Sir,-— I think it right to add my testimony to the wonderful effects the LONDON BHEUMATIO CUBE. I have suffere ? with chilblains for years. I tried everyth'ng, bnt never got be'ter.

Dear Sir, —I can testify to the wonderful cure I got by using the LON DON BHEUMATIC CUBE. I was suffering badly with rheumatics m my hands and wrists ; the back of my hand was badly dis colored. I rubbed them well with the Cure, and am thankful to tell you they are quite better, Thomas Glance? Ashburton, Ootober, 1893. Your LONDON BHEUMATIG CUBE is a remedy worthy to be praised. I took rheu matio fever and waa a good while m the bunds of the doctors; at last it seemed all to lodge mmy ankle. I had to walk with a oiutch and stiok. The dootor at last advised me to go to Christohuroh and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, as there seemed no cure for me. I heard of the LONDON BHEUMATIC CUBE, and got one bottle, and before it was done I was able to lay aside my sticks and to resume business, and have bad no trouble aince. It is a valuable remedy. I can highly reoommend it, as I believe it has no equal. D. Macpherson. Lower High Street, Christehuroh, May 1893 I have been a sufferer from Chilblains since a boy; my hands broke out every winter, and my feet were so bad that on Saturday nights I had to fill my boots at the artesian and stand m this till shutting time. I tried everything, but never got a cure, was advised this winter to try the LONDON BHEUMATIC CUBE, and to my astonish ment and delight it healed my wounded hands, relieved my Buffering feet, and for the first winter I oan remember kept me free from suffering. I can recommend it with all con fidence to those suffering with Chilblains. 3 W Bice Sold by all Storekeepers Wholesale Agent for Colony R.WALKER, Wooleton Canal Reserve.
