OPIUM SMOKING IN LoNDoN.-A writer in All the
Year Round says: 'There is little colony Of ORR
entails in the centre OF Bluegate Fields and in the
centre Of this colony is the opium divan. We
reach it by narrow passage leading up narrow
court, and easily gain admission on presenting
ourselves at its door. Yahee is OF great age is
never free from the influence of opium, but sings,
tells stories, eats, drinks. cooks, and auarrels,
and goes through the routine Of his simple life
without ever arousing from the sem-comatose
state you SEQ him in now. The curious dry-burn-
ing odor, which is making your eyelids quiver
painfully, which is giving your temples the
throbbiDg which 30 often predicates severe
headache, and which is tickling your gullet as if
with feather and fine dust Is opium. It's fumes
are curling over head, the air is laden with them
and the bed clothes and the rags hanging on the
string above are all steeped through and through
with the fascinating drug. The liyid oadaverous,
corpselike visage OF Yahee, the wild excited glare
stolid, sheep-Iike rumnations OF Lazarus and the
other Chinamen coiled together on the floor, the
incoherent anecdotes Of the Bengalee squatted on
the bed, the fiery geBticulations Of the mulatto
and the Mlnilla man who are in conversation by
the fire, the sem-idiotio jabber OF the negroes
huddled up behind Yahee, are all due to the same
fumes. AS soon we are sufficiently acclimatized
to peer through the smoke, and after the bearded
Oriental who makes faces and passes jibes at and
for the company, has lighted email candle in
our honor, we see sorry little apartment which
ia almost filled by the French bedstead, on which
half q dozen colored men are coiled long wise
across it's breadth, and in the centre of which 10
common Japan tray and opium lamp. Turn
which way you will, you see or touch opium
