Thing is = maid-of-all-work. They are
in no mans way, and they labor for a
4 crust Of bread; carryingthe hod when
Mike has run away to the diggings, and
scrsibbing the floor when Biddy has
made some wretch the happicst Of his
sex. Supple and patient, these yellow
men, though far from strong, are eager
for any kind of work; but they prefer
the empioyments Of women to those of
men, delighting ip an engagement to
wash clothes, to nurse babies, aud TO
walt on guests. They make very good
buffers and chamber-maids. Loo Sing,
q Jolly old girl In pig-tail, washes your
shires, starching and ironing them very
neatly, except that you cannot persuade
him from splitting o.. your, cuffs aud
fronts. To him splitting on linen is the
same as damping itwith drops of water;
and the habits of his life prevent him,
even though you should catch him by
the pig-tail, and rub his tiny bit Of nose
on the burning iron, from seeing that
1t Is not the same TO you. To-day, those
yellow men are Straightforward weak; in
few years they May be six hundred
thousand strong. They will ask for
votes. They will hold the balance Of
parties. In some districts they will
make a majority; selecting the judges,
forming the juries, interpreting the
laws. Those yellow men are Buddhists,
protesting polygamy, practising infan-
ticide. .-
Next year is not more sure to come in
its own season than great society Of
Asiatics to dwell on tho Pacific slopes.
A Buddhist church, fronting the Budd-
hist churches in China and Ceylon, will
rise In California, Oregon, and Nevada.
More than all, war of labor will COM
mence between the races which feed on
beef and the races which thrive on rice;
one of those wars in which the victory is
not necessarily with the strong.
White man, black man, rcd man, yell
low man, each has custom of his own
to follow, genius of his own to prove, a
conscience Of his own to respect; customs
which are not of kin, genius which is
largely different, and conscience which
is fiercely hostile ". Xcpaco,th Diron,
