There are many things of interest along the liue of railroad between Pu ebla and Oaxaca, Mexico, but few at tract tho northern traveler more than the station ugent at Etla. This is Con cha Bianca, a young woman with hon est brown eyes and a groat mass of wavy black hair. Etla, her post of duty, is the place where tho Indians flock from the mountains for 100 miles around for their annual feasts, and also the shipping point for the big haciendas in the fertile valleys among these same mountains. When tho train stops at Etla in the dark, a young woman in white, for Senorita Concha dresses to match her surname, stands at the door of the express car, lantern in hand, cheeking the packages on the big receipt book. When the freight train stops, she flits in and oat of the long line of cars, telling the brakemeu what to take and what to leave. She goes from one end of the train to tho other, seeing that no mis takes are made. Tho bareheaded girl in a white dress is full of business. She wastes no time on empty words. Tho trainmen respect her. She does every thing about the station but hutidlo the baggage. There aro plenty of stout Mexicans of the other sex hanging ubout for that work. Concha Bianca is so well esteemed by the management of the road that she has been twice promoted, until now she has one of tho most important stations under her care. She does all tho tele graphing, besides attending to tho re ceiving and shipping of freight It was her knowledge of telegraphing that got tho young woman her first recognition. Her father and two brothers were oper aiors. sue learned to nse tne Key. a station was given to her where there was not much to do besides the tele graphing. Her aptitude for railroad work attracted tho attention of General Manager Moroom, and the promotion followed. Concha Hianca lives in the Btation. Her mother keeps house for her, and a younger sister sits at tho tele graph table learning tho vocation of the new woman in Mexico. Tho conductors have got in tho way of pointing out to travelers Senorita Concha along with the rains of the ancient city on the mountain top, the site whero tho battle of Tebuucan was fonght, tho hieroglyph ics on the cliff at tho entranco to Kio Saluda canyon and other objects of in terest.—-Chicago Chronicle. Chinese Royalty. Tho present emperor of China is Hnaug Hsu, who succeeded to the throne Jan. 12, 1875. Hewasoneof theyoung est monarchs who ever ascended the throno, being at tho date of accession Dnly 8 years old. There have been 23 dynasties in China, the royal history of this country being better ascertained than that of any other which reaches back to ancient times. With some few breaks, tho Chinese bavo had a regular succession of sovereigns since Fnhhi, who, the Chinese say, reigned from B. C. 2853 to 2737. According to Chinese tradition, Fnhhi was no less a person age than the Noah of tho Scriptures, who, after leaving his ark on Mount Ararat, traveled east and founded the Chinese empire. Chinese history asserts that several of their early monarchs ruled for over a century each; one reign ing over China for 115 years, another foi;102, another for 100, and soon. It is considered probable by historians that these figures represent rather dynasties than the reigns of individual sovereigns. China has had in almost direct descent, with no more than two or three broaks in the history of the royal family, 38 sovereigns, 92 omperors, 2 Tartar rulers, 3 Mogul emperors and 3 empresses. What Kale* the World. Many years ago John Brougham, Lester Walluck, Artemus Ward ami oto ars used to meet after the play at Wind hurst's, in Park row.
