ALIrRRARY CURIOSITY.
A Card from a San Pr.pei.ee ChIn.nap,

A Card from y San Franchise Chinanani
The following communication, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, was brought to us by
Chinaman In company with large black
dog, who was introduced to US by letter
(the Chlnaman, and not the dog,) from Mr..
o. Gibson as q "ChInese gentleman Of his
acquaintance" who desired to give "the other
side Of the Chinese question"
Tfh article Is a curious mixture Of Chinese
tradHAou and the kind Of religious numbo-
Jumbo taught by the Rey. o. Gibson at the
Institution maintained by Eastern bcneyo-
Ieupe, called the "Chlneso mission house"
We can't help but think that the valuable
time Of the Rev. o. Gibson and the money Of
benevolent Christians might be more profta-
bly spent In some other way.
