The late Empress of China having recovered from her former serious illness, some half a dozen surgeons chosen by Governors of provinces and sent to Peking, according to imperial instructions, to attend upon her Majesty, have been rewarded by various appointments. One, it is announced, is to be made a taotai, or intendent of circuit, another prefect, another a district magistrate, and so forth. This is very much as if after the recovery of the Prince of Wales from his historic illness Sir William Jenner had been made a county court and Judge and Sir W. Gull a stipendiary magistrate.
