THE CHISAMEN AND THEIR GUS


A correspondent ofthe New York Times,
writing from Shanghai, gives the following
interesting items concerning life in China
The climate OF this part of China at this
season is truly delightful. Cool enough 10
make the sunshine pleasant, without being
actually cold; the air not too dry, and yet
with no sign Of rain, il is Just such weather
~ one might wish TO live in all his life. Our
spoFtsmen are having noble time of IT, and
return from the pleasures Of the field with
well-6lled game bags aud empty shot
pouches. Probably there is No country in
the world, not possessed of poaching laws,
where, in so dense population, game is so
abundant. In different directions, within
twenty-five miles Of Shanghse, may be
found pheasant, wOodcOck, qnail, snipe,
pigeon. rabbits, hares, and waterfowl;
while a journey OF two days 10 the noun
tains, in the region Of the Ta Hu Lakes viii
bring the sportsman into ample stocks of
deer and wild bear The fact is, that though
in proportion 10 the whole extent Of terri
tory, the population Of China is denser than
that Of any other country, there are still
various tracts-somc larger, some smaller
of land totally untitled, and the mode of
Cultivating many Of the crops is peculiarly
favorable % the production and preserva-
ton Of game. The cotton plants, for in
stance, are left standing after the hollis are
picked of, and the many bamboo planta-
lions are filled with heavy underground Of
grasses. The Chinese are altogether unap-
preciafive Of the delicious favor OF game
birds, preferring the domestic duck; but
they snare them in great quantities for sale
in the foreign market The Celestial mind
has hitherto been unable 10 solve the mys-
terry Of why a foreigner should tramp about
the fields all day with gun on his shout
der to obtain that which, az a very small out
lay be could purchase in the market re-
manning quiescent Al home; and the won
dering country people have concluded that

which reason, having shared a lot Of pheas.
ants. they pat them into a bamboo cage
and pepper them plenteinlly with iron shot,
causing the non-hunting foreign devil, who
buys his game, to break histeeih and indulge
in much profanity.
The superstitiOus Ignorance Of this singu-
lar people was very beautifully illustrated
during the past summer Ifyou pluck the
feathers Of a chicken You will o0seve, as
doutless most Of your housekeeping readers
have done ere this, at the extremity Of each

fork, with one line longer than the other.
Singular as il may appear, this PECULIARLY
has passed unnoticed by the Chinese until
the present year, when being for the first
time discovered the entire population, in
fear of some impending evil, abandoned
the eating ofehieken, and in Hankow fowls
ordinarily worth six dollars per dozen could
be purchased readily for one. Impecunious
foreigners, like myself, Toasted or the
tenderest of spring chickens, and were
thankful; while the owners Of establish
meats for the artificial Matching Of duck
eggs realized fortunes blythe sudden demand
which arose for their products.
