He has come, s lectured, has conquered. Jtwas an casy victory, for there was no prejudice against him. But there was a feeling ot easy jocularity,—not cxactly the sentiment, perhaps, with whick to regard a great man. ‘e has quite dissipated that feeling, and the town is, metaphorically, at his feet. He lectures in the Metropolitan Temple, a building which seats twenty-tour hundred peo- ple, but, an extra hundred or two have crowded in and disposed themselves agaiust the walls and through the ais} " Hddelivers four lectures in. San Francisco, and flics about the country between whiles lect- uring in the small towns. What between flyinz about the country in these fntervals, and fiying about the «ity sizht- seeing, the active divine is Kept pretty busy. The reporters and photographers make a per- fect shuttiecock of him. Any: celebrity finds e approach 1o the ity lined with photogra- phers.

Beecher arrived in town convoyed by ouc of the most eminent of the photouraphers. and was plunged into the depths of a carriage and whisked off to bave nis picture taken beton hie ot his face cleaned of the dust of travel. The unsuccessiul bevs of photozraphers eanwhile paced moodily up and down the deck of the ferry-boat. chewing their mustaches to Srauments, and studying up a plan of attack for ibe next cclebri o Alr. Beecher arrived atnoon, and by 7 o'clock in the eveniug the vestibale of the Mctropolitan Temple was ornamented with 2 couple of larve pliotorraphs of him taken that afteruoon by the 1wo Jaraest rival houses. = ‘The photographing of celebrities is carried on s this movdly city to u extent ywhich is abso- lutely nauseating. At one time this department of the business was carried on exclusively by one house,—Brad- ley & Ralofson. But toey made such a successful speculation of gelling’ the pictures at 50 cents apicee that anany of the others touk up the business. The consequence now is that when a pretty actress comes to town she has her victure taken in all the galleries, and according to the various Tancies of all the rival artists. ‘Therefore, befor: we see her at the theatre, e scg pictures of her In every shop-window,— side view, full view. back view, vignettes, quar- zer Jength, half length. threc-quarter leneth, Tull-length’; eves rolled up, eyes turned down: swiling, weeping, frownivz; standing up with her trail wound around her feet, sitting down with it spread out, reclining on a sofa or in the depths of an easy-chair,—in fact in all the postures which the aciress can conjure or the ‘phowgmghcx SUREEst. % After they have been taken in every possible ‘way at sll four of the galleries where they make a specialty of celebritics, a full assortment from cach gallery is placed iu the window of every dra-store, every hook-store, every gentlemen’s furnishing-store, every corner store along the main lines of travel. Every face becomes ineflabiy wearisome, the more _especinlly amidst an infinite chanze of wigs, hils, and dresses, while the face itscif re- taing the one expression, ** I aw sitting for my pictare.” § Thev did not quite manage to get this expres- sion into Henry Ward Beecher's face. He Iectured at. Virginis City on the way, and ‘went. of course, through the usual ceremony of going down the mines. % ~ Some facetious wag, rememberine Mr. Beech- ér's latest doctrine, gave him an unusually thick £uit of clothes in which to make the trip, The great preacher toiled throush the deep subter- Tancous passages with the great beads of per- sviration droppinz off him in showers, but did 1ot take advantage of the occasion to expound his new ideas.

CHINATOWX, All strangers visit Chinatown. They gen- + erally go by night, vot becaus: its horrors are ore horritle, or its beautics more besutiful, but that the Chincse come together at that “ thne after thefr various avocations of the day, - and hudale into their burrows. Visitore go in parties of from six to ten, and #the first step is to go to the City Prison for a policeman 1o act as cicerone. There are but a few of them—those who \have been on the Chinese beat—who know the “Rizhways and byways, the slums and Tookeries; those who do know them are thoroushly * well acyuainted with the most labyrinthine -anysteries of the Chinese quarter. ‘The policetnan stops first at what Jooks to be - hole in the wall, and, lishting 2 tallow dip, 4ifsappears iu the aperture. The party follow, Jndian-tile, his vellow beacou not lighting the way, but waving us on to follow. 3 Wearein what gccms to be a tunnel with a downward incline. We stumble upon 2 couple of ehort flichls of rickety steps, and come suddenly upon auopen soace ur clearing. A Jew hehits are pleaming through the chinks of some opeu-work doors. The polieernan_un- «ceremoniously opens acouple of them with his stick, aud we enter. The rooms are perlaps ten feet square. Tn them six or eisht Chinamen live, and move, and iave their being. It 1s yet carly evening, and they have not gone to'bed for the nizht, but a halt-dozen of them are taking asiesta. Two or three of them are smoking opium. Une or two are indulgivg iutobaceo smoked in 3 water-pipe. T'heir beds are not luxurivus. Tney sre bunks built against the wall, and ouly half the Jength of the body. mattress s u strip of mat- tinz. The ofllow is au oblong block of wood covered with straw or hamboo fibre, and almost as tiard as the nether millstooe. It fits into the Yhollow of his neck, ana 8 most uncomfortable- Jopkug creature Joln Chinaman is when he is asleen. ‘The shortncss of his bed obliges him o con- tort s body into some very qucer shaes. Perhaps it i the capacity ol teir sleeping ac- commodations that has lielped to muke them such wonderful tumblers and contortioniste. ‘They donot resent our sudden invasion of their departments. They arc used toir. Some {ew tremble when they behold the officer of the law, but the most of them are extremely ood- natured, cordially invite us in, and offer us a pull at the opium.pipe. ‘This courtesy is “indeed consideratc on_their part. for theamount of troubleexpended in pre- paring a pipe of opimn should be disheartening, The Iragrance of the room is Oriental, but not actually nauseating.

Thelittle pigeonhole apartments are every- where, and throngh the little windows we cin see the Chinamen, sometimes {n groups, some- throw in a haudful of wicks, let them burn ail at once, and the light is both bright and soft. We delicately inquire of Jonn what he is cooking for suoper, and sugeest that 1t s rats, of which edible e s gaid to be reasonabfy fond. We hear the squeak of the sweet-voiced rodent as we_speak. but. John *no sabees,? and, al thoueh the odor of the cooking mness is an alto- gether strange one, we @ive him tne benefit of the doubt. We plunge once more into darkness, erope through the sliny passage-war, through deciy- ing vegetables and slops, and other sights and smells, stuble up the rickety steps, and emerye through the hole in the wall once more into open air. Une of tnese lodging-houses is the fac-simile of another. Oneis as full as another, one as dirty as apother, and there are hundreds of them. THE JOSS-HOUS! We go from the Jodging-house to the joss- house.” It is approached through a narrow, dark alley leading off Dupunt strect, the artery of Chinatown. As we walk we observe streams of light com- ing through the ehinks of the sidewalk, and the puliceman informs us that we are walking over hundreds of Chinamen. But there is total and complete darkness until we turn suddenlv to one side, and are con- fronted by u stuircase as steep as the sides of Mout Blanc. It is unpainted and shaky as well as steep, so e cling desperately to the baluster, unwarned by millions of Yrolruding splinters. A blind-looking door and a smalt ladder at- tached 10 an opposite wall attract our attention, and we are told that it was the escape from a samblivg-house in the times when gambling throve, aithoush forbidden by law. They prosceute their wickedness very close There is about Jess none of the divinity which doth bedge 2 King. ‘I'he zods are manutactured after the man- darin model, and are more aristocratic-looking than their coolic devotees. ‘There is an abundance of tinsel and paper ornamentation. There is an altar at the door, upon which a sentinel god is enthroned. There is thic 2od of zold and the god of medicine, the latter holdiug in his hand a pill biz enougzh to strangle Fin-ma-Coul, the Insh giant. Theu there is-the god of zods, whose name we could not catch, but he is placed far b and high up on the altar, and is protected by trinity of gods of most Terotious aspect, Who sit in” front of him und seem to warn off the audactous intruder. There arc some grotesque figures of men and animals ranged amainst the Ifs, and uyou a _hizgh stand some bhand: vessels which might be silver, but looked like pewzer. _In the centre of the floor, covered for pro- tection with American wire-work, was an oblong wooden affair which was carved ail over with figures repr ing the famons men and fuvi- story. It was gilded, and Tooked like brasswork, and to_people properly mformed would be ¢ cly interesting. We were not properly informed, snd it was all & mystery to us. We experienced nothing of the solemnity of the eathedral about the Chinese joss-house. There was no Wwhisvering, no bated breath, The Chinamen who watch” the place strolled around, smoking, laugning, and talking, and apparently enjoying themselves. Their worship is quick and convenient. Jolin comes in, takes his prayer, which is printed on & yellow paper, burns it in the sacred ash-pan, burns a little wick before the high altar in another littic ash-pan, and departs. \We burned a litile yellow prayer in the sacred ash-pan, aud hoped that the great J, who- ever or whatever he may be, wus propitiated by this little ceremony aund sacritice of Christian prejudices. In an apartment adjoiniug the joss-room was the inevitable bunk arrangement, and a numnber of equally incvitable opium-smukers. In another apartment was a crowd of ten or twelve, two of whom were eating their supper. It consisted of a bow: of something very like thick gumbo, supplemented by a bowl of rice, which they euphoneousily term “licee.’ One cood-patured looking fellow partook fre- quently of a draught which be secmed to enjoy exceedingly. It proved to be Bourbon whisky, ard, like Ssirey Gamp, he poured it out of a tea pot! - They arc all quite undisturbed by the near proximity of Joss. AT THE CHINESE THEATRE. Coming out on the balcouy of the joss house, we found ourselves perched in mid-air over what looked like one of the narrow streets of Constantinople. The houses leaned confid- ingly towards each other, aud, with the odd lines and additions here and there, poles, und posts, and ciothes-lines, softened and changed Y the dimness foto something picturesque, Jooked quite ornamental in tbeir architecture, But the smell was all Chinese. Tumbling duwn-stairs ns, best we could, we made our way through Murderer’s alley, or some such exhilarating locality, aud headed for the Chinege theatrc. 1t is neither pretty nor clean, and the racket which the orchestra keeps up is simply infernal. One man clashes the cvmbals with au inde- {fatixabil which, used i politics, would make him President of the United States, . Another beats the trianglc with a similar per- sistence, und a third scrspes the fiddle with a ‘placidity which is exasperating: The fiddle has two strings, of which one squeaks and the other howl: It was once said that Miss Clara Louiss Kel- lozg was interested i Chinese music. ft must have been because she never heard any. This frizhtful din is kept up unintermittingly frowm 7 o’clock in the evening tiil 2 o'clock next White people’s visits are of about fificen mintes’ duration Ther theatre is very n-uch as our own must have been inits primitive state, for they bave no scenery and o curtains, and the stage s a thoranuhfare where people pass back and forth or sit at will, “Lue, are lar better actors than would be an- tivipated from tbuir general mnpassivity. In- deed, one much-berouired - female—or dis- wsed male rather, for the women's parts aro laved by boys—quite amazed us by the in- genious variety of her flirting methods. She ‘ogied, she biushed, she sighed,—at one stame c were quite sure shie was saying, **Go away, you eiddy thing” Sue had a score of familiat affectations.

Their dramus are chieily founded on historical events, and it takes sometimes days, sometinies weehs to nlay ove of them through, They do 1ot appland. When some of our party, carried away by the ardor of approba- tion, stamped or clapped hauds, every Cerestaal cye in the house turned un us with a3 much mild wonder as the celestial eye is capable of expressing. “Thir theatrical wardrobes are verv handsore and very rich, beine of the most brilliant cola and covered with hand-cinbrofdery, in which art the Chinese excel. ¥ It was the ouly luxury we saw about the place. Inquiry developed the fact that they have a star system very much the same as ours, and that the stars draw excellent. salari From the theatre we starred for the Chinese Testaursnt to be refreshed with a cup of tea. We were stopped first by the sound of the fire-bell. In an instant, as if by magic. a thousand Chi- namen impeded our wir. They came swarming out of the houses, windsws, doors, cellars, like big black rats, an {llusion hientened by their noigetess footsteps. There seemed to be no end tothe nooks and crauvies from which they sprang. : . 1t was cither a small fire or a false slarm, for in another minute, as suddenly and silently as they came, they disapoeared. < Next we were attracted by’ 3 jeweler's win- dow. Eiglit ur ten men were working away by the light of their vdd flaring wicks, with hang. togls making bracelets and rings, There were no gems Iying about, no sstin- lined cases, nothing of the splendor and brill- feliow in the foreground, who lifted his be- spectacled cyes and saw us glaring in, invited us in and showed us their deft handiwork. Next we.were stopped v a puwnbroker's sliop. ) Lookinig down a basement we saw a pair of gharp exes leaming througt_ a small Square aperture, and our muide told us the eyes belonged to a pawnbroker. A Chinese pawnbroker seemed such a very queer article that we could not pass him with- out a visit. ) We examined the wares in pawn with curious eres. There were, of course, innumerable bun- dles of clothing neatly folded ana ticketed. There were a few Amcrican pistols, aud auite an arrav of Chinese weapons. There were some uely-looking two-cdeed Knives, which they do up in innocent-looking sheaths Wwhich appear to e the harmless fan. g Tnere were other vicious-looking knives Wwhich come in pairs, and whica they handle witha peculiar dexterity. There were some iron clubs thicker at one end than at: the other, and made daugerous at the corners with square Knobs. * ‘The collection, outside of the weapons and a few pipes, wus singularly uninteresting. . Au_impecunious Chinaman pawned a tooth- pick for forty cems while we were in the estab- lishment, and another was presenting a silver watch for examination as we left. AN OPIUM DEN. At this'stage it suddenly occurred to us that we had not scenan opium den. We had en- countered the futhes of the drug wherever we had been, aud had seen so many smoking it that we had quite forgotten there were places exclusively devoted to it. But at the word our cicerone lighted his tal- low candle once again, and plunged into another dark ahyss. We struggled once more througl garbage, and filth, and,scudding rats, and drop- ping water, and deep in some underground re- cess found the opiumn den. Tu did notdilfer essentially from angthing else that we hiad seen. The room was larger, aad the bunks extended fancy of our establishments. In fact we did Dot kuow it to be a jewelry store until one old around three sides of it. A few Chinamen who succombed 1o the stupor were_sprawled around in every couccivable attitude. Their faens were glhustly and hideous. Some were but half stupid, and roused them- selves with some faint interest as we came in. Only one was wide awake. Il was just com- mencing his smoke, but his giussy eve bespoke the habit. He leaned on his elbow twisted up as unconi- fortably as they all are—we did not_see one of them in what looked to be a comfortuble po- sition v all Chinatown. He toasted his opium slowly by the fire of the little oil lamu, and was_inclined to be vom- municative. In modern Englisy, he was in- ned to * blow ” about the amount of opium he could smoke, and the amonut of money he spent on the hah The Chivese lie ness as Lhey steal. We were giad enough to leave him to his stupefaction and get out to the sweet air once more. We Dad secn so much that was nasty and ahominable that we left the icpers for another night, and went immediately for our tea. th as beautiful a fearless- A CHINESE RESTAURANT, The first floor of 2 Chinese restaurant 1s the the second s a degree beter, the e, The floors are bare, but the furniture is really handsome. The chairs of black carved wood, straight seats and straizht backs, and o shape quaiutly Eastern. Between every two there is 4 little square table about us big on the top as a quarto volume. The wood is black like the chairs, aud the topis s sfab of brown mortled marble. ‘There are odd-looking lamps hanging from the ceilings of the pagoda style, plants tu the windows, and pictures on the walls. Also here and there are hung a conple of their execrable wmusical instruments. When we were summoned to table we found it spread with a white cloth. “Tnere were about. a half-dozen dishes of nuts aud confections. There were preserved ginger, limes, cucumbers, plums. Bui even the fruit was Chinese, and was long and queer to look at, like a pageda trimminig, and had a strange smack to its flavor, But the tea—0 delight!—the tea! There is a wild story exiunt that it costs from $12 to £18 2 pound, and we tuncied that we tasted the $18 in every cap. Toey make it in little porcelain bowls, and cover it with an foverted cup to et it sieam. Ench individual is given bis own bowl, and pours bisteainto a cup, for they drins it in nhomeopatnic sips. There is some knack in pour- inz it out, as people discover after they have scalded their hands badly. We sipped it with the most charming Jittle porcelain spoons, which hold just enough to be satisfactory. “They drink it straight, without milk or sugur, but we liked it so well that we kept the littic China bov trotting around witn bis copper kettle of hot water filliug the bowls again and again. No onc ever acknowledges how much of the tea they drink, and no one ever sleeps soundly for a week afterward. Chinatown is a quecr place, and to thoroushly enjoy the trip it is only necessary to wear thick shoes on account of the underground damp, to bave a cloice cold in the head in order to avoid the swnclls, and to drink tea till the kettle is exhuusted.
