Best Dressed Man in Peking.

Jung Lu, the new viceroy of Chihli, Is one of the most popular generals In the Imperial army. He has always bees a dandy in dress, and has a reputation of being the best dressed man In Peking, while the gilded youth among the Mancha nobility always copy his dress and swear by “Jung Lu’s style.” His horses and mules also have ever been the finest in Peking, not even excepting the emperor’s stud, and he loves to mount the most fiery and restive cattle when riding out This has led to several picked horses sent as tribute to the emperor from Kuldja and Mongolia, but which no one could ride owing to their untamed and restive spirit, being specially presented to Jung Ln by the emperor’s command. This is the man who now holds the responsible post of guardian of the dragon throne at Tientsin.—Peking and Tientsin Times.
