THE CHINAMRN.--The Boston Transcript giyes
the following account of the Ceestals recently
brought to this country :
Among the strangers Boston are three real China
good specimens Of the inhabitants Of the Celestial En-
pre- They appear in full Chinese costume long black
and all and 0tfacSs Of the famous Chinese Museum
which is soon to be opened here and viii form an interesting
part Of that exhibition.
We have already stated that one Of these Cinnamon was
professor Of music. His is Lekoking. He about
thryve Of age, and has much the appearance
Of philosopher than musician. He has very seate
impeurbabe look and understand he has never since
leaving China manifested any symptoms excitement
when he first got into the the railroad his way
from New York to Boston. He is in fact an inveerafe
Chinese and determined not to become barbarian
II ne can help ~ Mr. Weed, spercago and Captain Xii
ham, Of the ship Bazaar, in which the and the Chi
nese gentlemen brought out took considerable pains
instruct Lekokng in Of the facts Of European science
but in vain He obstnately persists in his oriental notion
the perfection of the human has idea Of the marcel
Of mind and all that sort Of thing and in spite Of the test
mony of his eyes, still doggedy maintains that the wor
is round, but fiat pancake and as long as from
China New York.
Tsow Chaoong is much tracabe and takes great de-
light in the developments Of the New World He is charmed
with this country and he MEANS after he has fulfilled hin
three years engagement with the propeos Of the museum
to to China and his father and MOTHER and then
back here and ve He is about years old speaks
onEnglsh pretty nteigby, and writes fair English
hand. We have before specimen Of Tsow-C haoongs
chiogphy which shows that he has already made consd
cradle proficiency in bis European education
The other appears be Of humber rank and to have
fewer Chinese Pecuiarties He comes, believe the
capacity OF servant and, of convenience has
assumed the European dress. They all visited Mr. Smp
sons factory at SaxonvIe day SINCE and
velousy affected BY the operations Of Yankee laborsavng
machinery.
