Chinese Cousins

The San Francisco Bulletin, of
March 20, has the following on
Chinese cousins and their Obliga-
tions: In the course Of the evidence
of Chinese Interpreter in the Ah
Moon murder trial to-day, the wit
ness was asked what was the appli-
cation Of the term COUSIN" as
used by the Chinese, or in other
words, what was the relation exist
ing between Chinese calling each
other cousins. He replied that all
Chinese having the same surname
were cousins under the social laws
of China; that it made no differ
ence from what State or part of
China they hailed, they called each
other cousins, and that this applied
to the Chinese all over the world.
The witness was asked the ques-
ton: eff these cousins did not
consider it not only their privilege,
but their duty to sustain each other,
right or wrong?" He answered
that they did. Suppose" said
the counsel, "a member of the
cousin family by the name of Wing,
was killed by member of the
cousin family named Sung, would
not all the members of the Wing
family be obliged to pursue the
Sung family until they had obtained
revenge on one or the other of the
members ?'' Z" Yes, sir" replied
the witness.

The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1877-07-04

PACKARD was at the Republican
State Convention in Iowa, and though
ne refused to make speech, yet he
had plenty of private war talk with
the leaders, and from the final result
of the nominating Convention he
succeeded admirably in making cap
ital against Mr.. Hayes. The Con-
vention by vote of three to one ta-
bled a resolution endorsing Hayes
so-called Southern policy, and its
nominee for Governor was rushed in
by that vote, clearly making open
war against Hayes. We feel sure
now that Packard will make himself
felt as martyred hero, and that by
the time Congress meets we shall see
plenty more Of such jay.hawking in
the ranks Of the truly loyal.

-THE river news reporter of the
New Orleans Times, of Saturday
evening, says:
"'The New Orleans and Red River
Transportation Company have closed
contracts for two low water boats and
four barges for the Grand Ecore
trade. The barges will be insurable
and it is intended to give the trade
better low water service this season
than ever before. With the opening
Of the cotton high water season, a
side wheel boat will be placed in the
trade, that will be to Red River what
the r. E. Lee is to the Mississippi"
The Editor Of this Journal now
states by the card, that Capt. Dick
Sinnott is here now with his peerless
Bart. Able, and when low water
comes will be stripped for the fight
with an elegant low water boat.

This is the glorious Fourth Of
July in the morning, and from no
cause of ours We take very little
stock in it. 1t will be celebrated at
the Fair Grounds by Tournament,
and at night grand Ball will come
of. The Town for such a glorious
day is unusually dull, with sadden-
ed aspect, and will only be stirred up
for minute by the departing whis-
tie of the Bart. Able. We have pass
ed ffty-eight ones in the old Town
and certainly never witnessed a dull,
er one, and hope for improved Fourth
ofJulies henceforward. The darkies
are all making a resting day of it.
