Chinese Ceremonies.

From the Portland (Oregon) Bulletin.
Once more the Chinese of this city are
engaged in their mysterious incantations
on Washington street, near Second.
They have secured room near the en-
CINE house, and fitted it up in a most
grotesque manner, at an expense perhaps
of $1,000. On either side of the en-.
trance stand two large figures, about
twelve feet in height, tinselcd and paint
ed off in true Celestial art. In an angle
along the ceiling from the heads of these
overgrown "Joss boys" and about
two feet from the ceiling, hang
shelves upon which all sorts Of
Chinese figures, about foot
in height, are displayed. Still further
back toward the Celestial altar and
throne, where the great "Joss" gazcs
down upon his subjects through looking
glass eyes, figures and paraphcrnalia of
curious design are arranged in fantastic
forms. Wax candles sprout up from the
backs of deformed frogs; out of pots filled
with colored water hang handsomely de-
signed lanterns, with small figures riding
in circus form. The official "red papers"
spotted with golden hieroglyphics, wave
and flutter, dependent from curtains Of
gorgeous color land from the ceiling.
Figures, apparently of wax, run by clock
work, keep up their spasmodic move
mentS on the altar before the great
joss"
The priest, or "Ah Doc" as they call
him, breaches at intervals upon subjects
of very little interest to the general
reader and scarcely worth mentioning.
As the services will last until Saturday
next, those DESTROYS can procure a seat on
the sidewalk and listen for themselves.
About five minutes generally satisfies the
average American. The most important
feature of the proceeding is the band Its
industry, energy, and long suffering is a
wonder in itself One performer, in
particular, enters into the business
with a will, marking him at once
as superior musician. he gives
his entire attention to a large-sized gong.
In his frantic eEdeavors to knock hole
in it he performed acrobatic feats wor-
thy an India rubber man. Part of the
time with both knees on it, then against
the wall next in mid air, he belaborcd
the unfortunate instrument, whose shrieks
and yells tell of its terrible contest. The
other musicians are of fewer accomplish
ments and devote their time and breath
to yelling, stamping on the floor, and
Kicking up as big row as possible. We
can here remark that the selections per-
formed by this band are operate and of
the most classic nature, rs can be per-
ceivcd by residents within half dozen
blocks. The affair is the first Of the kind
given in this city for three years, and as
the Chinese have a load of sin which has
been accommodating for that length of
time to be forgiven, they may be pardon
ed for taking such a lively interest in the
cue-rious proceedings. These days Of
forgiveness can be of yearly occurrence,
providing sufficient amount OF money
is raised to defray the expenses.

ANNoUNcEM EMIT.

Having lust returned 10 our old quarters,
after they have undergone many modern
improvements and alterations, and hav-
ing Just placed upon our shelves stock
Of Books and Stationery in keeping with
our room, we ask the attention Of the in
telligent public 10 few words in cOnnec-
ton with our business.
Ii IS well established fact that next To
church and school, a book store, where all
the latest works upon Science, Arts and
General Literature may be obtained, is the
most necessary adjunct TO cultivatedand
intelligent community.
1t Is fact no less apparent, that Wheel
ing has fallen behind towns Of much small
Ter proportion, in the encouragement ana
support OF such an institution, and In fact
has never made full stock of miscellan-
eous books, n paying Investment TO tn"
dealers, who have found 1t more profitable
To give the stationery and wall paper their
chief attention.
While we have no cause for complaint
thus far, We ask for more general sup
port, rs we shall devote ourselves "XcLl-
sively 10 the book and stationery business,
and hope that our increased outlay Of Tabor
and money, may meet with a correspond
ing increase in our business, 50 that ""
may be enabled, at all times, TO provide our
citizens with all the advantages Of a com
plcte and well stocked book store.
Respectfully yours,
