PAGAN TEMPLES IN THE UNITED
t STATES. L ttr

The first Chinese or pagan tenn
pie in the United States was open :
ed in San Francisco, in May, 1856,
with imposing ceremonies, accord
ing to Asiatic ideas. A huge
wooden idol, named joss, was i'm
ported and set up in the building,
and all the paraphernalia belong
ing to Buddhist worship were also
imported at the same time. No
expense was spared in the orna-
mentatio9 of the temple. Paint
ings, (several of them excellent, }
costly vestments, vessels of rare
value, furniture of very superior
description, affairs, ETC., were put
in place, and the Joss temple was
made to resemble on a moderate
scale the splendid edifices used for
pagan worship in the howery
kingdom. The idol joss was hid
cons in aspect, like, as will be
seen, the idol Fo that is now en-
throned ia Baxter-street, in this
city. But their domiciles differ
very widely. A large building,
specially erected for the purpose,
and the ground upon which it
stands, were paid for by the See
Yup Company, one of the six
wealthy mercantile corporations
that control all the trade with the
10000 or $4,000 Mongolians on
the Pacific coast.
The chapel in New York is in
the midst of squalor and wretch
edness, and is in keeping with its
surroundings. The offerings to
the idol in San Francisco were
and continue to consist of all the
dainties known to the Chinese
cuisine-young roast pigs, fowl of
every description, fish, tea in mag
nificent dishes, fruits of every de-
scription in silver salvers, sweet
meats, and some live roosters,
safely secured. The followers of
Cachi-Mouni, in this city, in the |
way of devout tribute, only fur
nish a leg of pork or two, a few
platters of small fish, tea in indif-
ferent vessels, and some faded |
punches of flowers, to their awe |
or DEMONSTRATING god Fo. The
pagan priests at San Francisco are
numerous and intelligent, looking.
Their robes are rich and costly. |
In New York the single minister
is old, dilapidated in appearance,
and by no means entitled to credit
for superiority over his fellows.
His garments are decidedly rusty.
But one thing is positive, the
New York Mongolians are true be-
levers, and firm in the faith.

When, thel planet enas passes

seen as small, round. dark spot
crossing the sums surface. This is
called the "transit of Venus.
When it is earfuIly observed as
tronomers are enabled, by mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation, to determine
first the distance of the sun from
Venus, then the distance of Venus
from the EARTH, and thus, which is
the main thing sought, the distance
of the earth from the sun. The
first important series of .observa-
ton OF the kind were made in 1863,
from seventy stations. The
results were not satisfactory the
vasious ei,bslatieas showing a diff
ferance OF more than twenty mil
lions of miles. Some over fifty
years afterward the German astron-
omer Eneke reinvestigsted the cal
eulations, and made the distance
about nintyfive millions of miles,
which result has, until within q
few years, generally been adopted.
Several Independent calculations,
since made On other grounds, have
agreed to shortening the distance
to less than pinety-two millions.
It is now fully believed that as
tronomers will be able to guard
against the course of errors of 1863,
and reach reliable results within |
three hundred thousand miles. |
Hence the government of Great |
Britain, France, Russia, Germany |

out costly expeditions, with the |
most exact instruments, and with |

hibited the leg bone of a man

striking the bone heavily upon the

glittering globules of mercury,
which rolled about upon the black
surface before him, collecting here
and there into drops.

THE PAGAN CHURCH.

Having made inquiries in the
locality, our reporter was directed
to the Chinese Club Rooms. The
building is an old, broken down,
and miserable concern. The first
story is occupied by a second
hand clothing store of the charac-
ter SO common in that quarter.
At the head of the first fight of
stairs was a small room, the door
of which was partly open. En-
tering, it was found tenantless.
Its appearance denoted misery of
the worst kind. A broken, fireless
stove stood amid n scene of the
utmost disorder. The only table
was covered with bundles of kind
ling wood, and two or three brok-
en- chairs and stools stood guard
over fragments of food and cloth
ing scattered on the Aoor in every
direction. In one corner was a
heap OF what seemed to constitute
covering for the inmate or inmates
while sleeping. Another ascent
revealed the fact that there was a
considerable number of persons
in conversation, and the continued
rafting of bones or dice showed
that they were employed in some
game of chance. After rapping
at a door several times a voice ex-
claimed, "Come in" Acting on
the invitation our reporter enter
ed. His surmises proved correct.
Seated at or gathered around a
table were fifteen or twenty Mon
golians deeply interested in play.
ing with some round balls, pierced
in the center, which were moved
up and down several circular
pieces of wood fastened in a small
wooden case. The stakes, though
not fully exposed to view, were
stamps. There was no sign OF s
bar, though there were plenty Of
drinking glasses, all of which
however, empty. The men were
sober-entirely absorbed in the
game, and it appeared that it wa:
only occasionally, at some critica
turn in the play, that they became
voluble. This room, though
scantily furnished, was superior il
every respect to the one below
but this is not saying much in it
favor. In the next apartment

1t consists of one room, about
sixteen by twenty feet, fronting
on BaXter-street. 1t cannot by
any means be considered temple,
but q glance around its walls
showed at once that it was devot-
ed to the celebration of some de-
scription of religious rites. There
was no wooden idol of Joss or Fo,
the great deified Buddhist lawgiv-
ers. In the center of the apart
ment is table at which a man sat
writing on slips of colored paper;
and in = corner, engaged in clean

"Four docto1s tackled Johnny Smith

With squills and antibilious pills
And ipecac they fed him.
They stirred him up with calomel
And tried to move his liver
But all in vain-his little soul

they d-didn't try to m-move his liver,
and they d-didn't bl-bleed him and

Strange! strange" mused OFT
=" And this man told me to combine ele-
vating sentiment with practical informa-
ton. If this information concerning
the squills and ipecac is not practical, 1
have misunderstood the use of the
word. And if young Smith didn't
have four doctors, it was an outrage.

Mr.. EDITOR My father and mother
both belong to the Grange and they take
The GRANGE ADVANCE. read your Young
folks column every week and like it very
much. As it is very wet day 1 thought l
would write you short letter. see that
Nellie German has been telling you about a
big egg her brother found We have not
got any big eggs like that but we had a lit
tie chicken hatched out three weeks ago,
Can any of the young Changers beat that ?
l am just eleven years old, and if you print
this | will try and write again.
Yours truly,
P. NEWTON BALDWIN.

OUR YOUNG PATRONS.

@~We have devoted this column to our
young in order to interest and improve
them, and we hope that the boys and girls
who write for The GRANGE ADVANCE will
try to see how nicely they can write, and
how much better they can write each time.
Remember that the boys and girls of to-
day will soon be the men and women of our
country, and in their hands will be the
farms, the homes, the schools, the interests
and welfare Of the State and Nation.
