The Chinese Quarter, San Francisco.

The Chinese quarter is a system OF al
leys and passages, labyrinthian in their
sinuosities, into which the sunlight never
enters; where it is dark and dismal, even
ut MONDAY. A stranger attempting to
explore them, would be speedily and
hopelesslv lost. Many of them seem mere
Sits in the hanks of the streets-dirty
rivulets flowing into the great stream OF
life. Often they have no exit-termina-
ting in a foul court, a dead wall, gam
bling or opium den. They literally
swarm with life; for this human hive Is
never at rest. Every dent and angle
every nook and Granny in the valley
ery foot of surface on the ground is ami
mate. The ultimate problem of Mongo-
liam existence seems to be, how to get the
greatest number of human beings into
the least possible space. They herd to-
rcther like cattle in their workshops, eat
ing-houses, and places ofsoclal resort, a
clearinghouse represents an almost soma
mass Of human anatomy. The authOrl-
ties. sometime since, found it necessary,
for sanitary reasons to pass an ordinance,
prescribing five hundred cubic feet of air
equal to space eight feet square) to
each person in Chinese tenementsi but
such contempt have these creatures for
oxygen, that they constantly evadc or
ignore it. You might suppose these
slums would be brecding-paces Of pesti
lcncr, but such does not seem to be the
fact. No epidemic has violently ragged
in the Chinese quarter. When, some
wears ago. the smallpox was carrying on
the Caucasiaus ut the rate of nearly one
hundred week. the Mongolians passed
unframed. This remarkable exemption
is due partly to the fact that ali China
men are inocuatcd in childhood, and that
they pay more strict regard to certain e.
scntinl sanitary laws. The bath is part
of their religion; 50 is the tooth brush,
both OF which are daily used under all
circumstances .Sru"cl William; Serb
