That "Chinese man." Wong Chin Foo,
delivered his lecture on domestic LIE
in China" at the Town. Hall, Monday eve
to fair audience, and it gave general sat-
isfaction. He was Introduced by Chas.
P. Marsh, Esq. Wong is regular built
Chinaman in personal appearance and
dress--rather of the better type
though--and is firm believer in the
philosophy of Confucius and the religious
tenets Of Buddha. He is nervous,
rapid speaker handles the English
language pretty fair-once in while he
is pressed for word to express his Idea
but 1t comes after little hesitancy.-
He uses no notes. The "Flowery King
dom," and its inhabitants, he thinks, have
been much lied about by American writer's
and speakers. He says they do not cot
rats and mice and purp dogs In China,
as set down in American school books,
and thought It was too bad to teach lit
tie children lies that they do not drown
their surplus of female infants; that there
is no cuss words in their language; that
the Empire is not crowded with inhabit-
ants; that their system Of education is
good; that their laws are just, but when
broken, the offender is as sure to suffer the
penalty attached, as if he had violated
one of natures laws, and that they do not
worship blocks of wood and stone, but
the Supreme Ruler of the universe, the
same as Christians, the images being only
'helps" to that end. IF what he says is
true it is not such an awful thing to be
a "heathen" after all. Mr.. Foo is close
observer of men and things, related many
anecdotes from observation, and hit oul
christian friends hard "dab'. once in
while on their missionary zeal, all O
which goes to prove Bret Harte's saying
true, that "The Heather is peculiar
Tuesday evening he advertised lecture OF
his own responsibility, the title OF which
was, 'The Doctrines of Confucius ant
Buddha; or, What is to be the Destiny IL
Eternity Of the 800, 100000 Of souls who
have never known Christ ?" He had
very slim audience. The Christians were
frightened, and did not turn out.
