For one to get good idea of this city,
he must come here. 60 through the streets,
and spend week or two with the peo-
pie, as 70 written work can bring out all
of the features Of place like this, much
less a letter. Until the gold excitement
of rs. there were hardly buildings
enough here to be called village. Since
then, separated from the East by 5000

other city ever made on the Continent

they do all of their business. Tea mer.

notion dealers abound, while here and
there are restaurants where Johns and
JOhnesses manage the chop sticks, and
eat rice and rats with great relish. Lit
