A Visit to Their Quarters in San | Francisco—Stores, Restau- rants and Theatres, An Opium Joint-A Painfal Scene Underground - Barber Honse and Joss Shop. e orrospondence o the Phtladelphia Press. SaN Francisco, September 5. —To kiow the Chinese one should come to San ¥ranciseo, Their numbers, their peculiarities, their strength grow rap- idly upon the sojourner. At first he has only an occasional glimpse of a “‘Scrubber's” ocue at the ‘‘Palace.” Then Wing Hi or Fun Lee comes for his clothes, carries them away in two blue bags swung over his shoulders, sprinkles them with water squirted from his mouth in spray, and brings back the ladies’ ties as white as the driven snow, but so stiff that to bow to friends across the dining room is an impossibility. Then Chee-Lee ap- pears, who comes on regular mormngs to the ladies’ rooms with his attractive wares, and beguiles them into unlim- ited purchases ot fans, cups and trays, just because they can be bought of him so much cheaper than at the reg- ular shops. Then comes a visit to China Town—one of the ‘“regulation” things for all California tourists. CHINA TOWN, China Town consists of a rectangu- lar block, seven squares in length by two in breadth, near the business cen- tre of the city and only a few blocks away from the palaces of its railway kings. 'Lhe blocks are cut up in sec- tions by narrow alleys,land the houses are nearly all tall, decayed buildings, swarming with tenants, filled with underground dens, and attics with overhanging dormers, which shut out the sunlight and all but a patch of blue sky, which is nature’s perpetual gitt to this city. The streets are lined with the stores of the Chinese mer- chants. These stories contain many choice things in tortoise shell, carved ivory, and crapes; but little effort is made in display goods in their limited quarters, and the investigating turn of mind and the ‘‘push” which are qual- ities of the average Eastern traveler are serviceable. Onealley is devoted to the opium ‘‘joints,” another is given up to the market men, others are monopolized by the most dissolute classes. There are six restaurants and two theatres in the quarter. Their plays are historical, frequently run from noon of one day until noon of the next, and a series runs through two months. No reliance is placed upon the setting, there being no scenery and alnost no stage furni- ture, and the slain man rises and cooley walks off the stage wlile the audience looks calmly on. One brief visit suffices the average white theatre- goer, and he is glad to escape from the close air of the theatre, heavy and foul with opium smoke. If he chooses, “ Caledonma " J.

A VISIT TO THE CHINESE QUARTER. Did ovor a drive equal the one we teok one sunny morning through “Golden Gate Park,” over ‘Nob Hill,” past the ‘‘Plaza” to China Town? And isit to be wondered at that after a dreamy morning at the fascinating Cliff house we rubbed our eyes to see if we were really awake? Everything about us had an Orien- tal aspect. The shops had Chinese signs. Chinese ware hung in the win- dows or were shown on the sidewalks. Chinese placards were on the walls. The Chinese themselves were every- where. ‘Wo were accompanied by a police- man, and our bewilderment was in- creased by seeing him suddenly dis- appear like a jack-in-the-box. Di- rectly his head and a beckoning hand appeared, and, pinning_our faith to our guide, we prepared to descend, we knew not whither. Our faith was rewarded by finding a flight of steps leading to a dark passage opening upon a covered court, surrounded by galleries from which opened innum- erable avartments. In one of these we found a woman ‘‘at home.” She was dressing her hair, which was glossy and most profusely gummed. ~Here, thought we, is found among this aneient peo- ple the germ of bandoline. The wom- an showed us the little wooden pillow upon which she slept, in shape very like a dumbbell, an1 when informed that those who used them were only obliged to dress the hair once a week their utility was apparent. The court was evidently used as a common kitchen. The stoves in use were simply little sheet-iron boxes, containing a few coals and with an arrangement for a skillet over the fire. This is the only means many of these poor creatures have of cooking their meals, To be sure it simplifies very much the process of getting din- ner, for the stove can be put on a ta- ble or on the floor, or “laid on the shelf,” as is most convenient, and one cooking utensil serves for tho rice and the numerous stews which they make. The Chinese are very economical in their food, as in everything else, using parts of animals which are discarded in the markets and making, it is said, very palatable stews from them. But, after seeing the process and the cooks we had no desire to taste the dishes. Our repugnance was strengthened by a visit to one of their market houses, where everything, from chickens’ wings to the thinnest fish,seemed to be “cut and dried"—very much like the customs and habits of the people themselves. Our policeman next led us to an “opium joint.” We shuddered as we looked into the dark damp under- ground den, atthe end of which we could see only the faintest glimmer of light. By the aid of a candle we made our way across the place and to the side of a man stretched upon matting and already half stupefied by the opium he was smoking, His wild bright eyes, and his thin, haggard face told of the terrible power of this vice, He was, indeed, a frightful object, and when the officer took his pipe for a moment, to show us its structure, he followed it with his glaring eyes, as if his existence were bound up in it. We were glad to hasten away from this sad place, which at night would be filled with men, smoking away their lives; and, as we drew long breaths of the pure, sweet air outside, wo reflect ed upon the responsibility of the ¥ lish government that forced theopinin trade upon China, Another underground room romain ed to be visited which, we were told by our escort, was sixty-seven foet long and nine feet wide. Into this den this ofticor one night chased a thief, and, after arresting him, went back and_counted ninoty-two sleeping men. There was not a window and but a single door to the apartment, and the berths were one above the other like the boxes of a postofli He made a hasty computation which | showed the number of cubic inches of air for each person very small. We next looked into an old decayed building where, we were assured, four- teen hundred Chinamen lodged. We oxplored one or two dark passages, from one of which a barking cur rushed out, and we begged to bo ex- cused from going further, assuring our guide that we had faith enough to accept all his statements. We could love the Chinaman but not his dog, Our next objective point was a bar- ber shop where a man’s ears were being shaved. Our escort asked for the instrument, which was refused. Then what a Babel ensued. The other occupants of the shop all talked at once, evidently to explain the po- liccman's position. The result was that the instrument quickly found its way into his hands, illustrating the wholesome respect for law en- tertained by this people. It proved to to bealittle sharp-pointed kmife,which is inserted for an almost incredible distance in the ear, They have also a_little knife somewhat similar for cleaning their tongues. It scemed very strange that this peculiar people, 8o filthy as most of them are in their homes, should be so fastidious in these respects. Truly they ‘‘pay tithes of mint and cummin and neglect the weightier matters.” We were obliged to leave the man in _the barber’s chair to the tender mercies of the operator, al- though feeling some anxiety as to the result. The shades of mnight were falling, and so, leaving the Joss- house for a separate visit we turn- ed our steps homeward, with hearts saddened and filled with pity for a people leading their own separate idolatrous existence in the midst of a Christian people. And we wondered if the true solution of the ‘‘Chinese problem” were not the civilization and Christinnization of those already among us, with the hope that the lit- tle leaven may leaven the whole lump. E. M. Brix Rube Hoffenstein's Horse. From the New Orleans Times. “New Orleans vill be a great blace, Misder Hoffenstein,” said Herman, ‘‘ven de railroads vill be running here from de Vest and oder parts uv de country, von't it ?” “‘Herman, don’t dalk to me aboud de railroads,” repliea Hoffenstein, ‘‘it makes me dink uf de vay I half been swindled by dem.

The following remarks are taken from the London Field of recent date, and will be of interest to American sheep-breeders and wool-growers as indicating the tendency of English flockmasters to depend move largely upon the meat qualities of their sheep, and less upon the product of wool, profit in the latter being much less of recent years, on account of the large receipts and excellent quality of for- eign fleeces. Noticing an important sale of Hampshire-down sheep by Mr, Morrison, of Fonthill House, Fisbury, Wilts, the Field, after quoting several high-priced individual sales, says: Now that long wool, even when it is of a lustrous character, is worth no more or less than 1 shilling per pound, and dark-faced mutton keeps at a high price, Lincolnshire and fore increased during the last few years, Thousands have been sold an- nually for and in Lincolnshire, North- amptonsh Huntingdonshire anc Yorkshire. The numbers this yoar will be increased, of which the above prices are an indication, A point about the Hampshire shoep is excop tional. They are so large and vigor ous that ram lambs are preferred for uso to yearling or older sheep. In fact, unless in tho case of an excep- tionally good ram, which proves him- self eapable of leaving a strong stamp of his own good qualities on his issue, a yearling or two-shear sheep is never used even by the flockmasters of Hants and Wilts, ~ These ram lambs are now in great demand, on account of the great proportion of lean to fat they produce. This is why they are so suitable for crossing purposes with the large Lincoln ewes, which possess a large portion of fat to lean. By the way, too, brown, black, or mot- tled legs are thus produced; butch- ers can leave a hit of skin on the legs and shanks of their sheep in the car- cass, and thus charge the price of the best cross-breeds or downs. Whether or not there will be a turn in the English wool trade, we have at present no means of judging. But the increase in the produce of the foreign wool-growing countries has been so great within a few years that it seoms to be a better prospect for England flockmasters to improve the quality and price of mutton, rath- WM.

San Jose (Cal.) Herald, Many of our readers have been long interested in the observatory to be built upon Mount Hamilton, The, have watched with eagerness the worl a8 it has progressed for many months past. The progress of the un- dertaking has been marked. Cap- tain Fraser has not spent an idle mo- ment, but has been continually push- ing the work on to complotion. The visit to the site of the observatory by a friend reveals to us the following facts: The center of attraction is the large pier which is to hold the great telescope. The work upon itis just now about completed. The pier is constructed of hard-burnt brick and has a diameter of thirteen feet five inches at the bottom, and tapering un- til it is eight feet across at the top. Its foundation is solid, being laid in a bed of solid rock four and one half feet below the surface of the ground. It is held in its cement, In building the tower or pier more than fifty barrels of cement and 80,000 brick were used. he sur- rounding walls for the dome are laid and the masons are at work on the foundation for the transit house. Captain Fraser is pushing the work on quite rapidly, with the idea of com- pleting the buildings in October. The pier and surrounding work now begin tolook indeed like the site of the largest telescope on the continent, and it is expected by the 1st of Octo- ber the main structures will all be up, The blasting has been a long and tedious job, but now the summit of the mount is as level as can be made, Sins of the Fathers Visited on the Children.

Journal of Commerce. More than twenty years ago, when it was found that prevention of chol- era was easierthan cure, a prescription drawn up by eminent doctors was published in the Sun, and it took the name of the Sun cholera medicine, Our contemporary never lent its name to a better article. We have seen it in constant use for nearly two score years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of the bowels ever yet devised. No one who has this by him, and takes 1t in time, will ever haye the cholera. We commend it _to all our triends. Even when no cholera is anticipated, it is an excellent remedy for ordinary summer complaints, colic, diarrhea, dysentry, etc. Take equal parts of tincture of Cayenne pepper, tincture opium, tincture of rhubarb, essence of pep- permint, and spirits of camphor, Mix well.
