a EIongreI.

About two years since, the LEDGER
published an account of the marriage
Of Wah Lee, a Chinaman, and Jane
Deloach, a colored damsel. About a
year after this announcement came a
column notice of the birth of a son.
There was some little noise made
about this unusual couple, and assoon
as they had an excuse they made a
little noise themselves. The naming
Of the boy was a very good one. The
father wanted him named Jam-siDg
for his father, and the mother
wantedhim named Hezekiah JohDsing,
in honor of her maternal ancestor. A
compromise was finally effected, how
ever, and the little pigeon-toed mon
greI launched on the world by the
name Of Jam Hezekiah Sing Jobnsing
Lee, a combination Of both names
suggested. Now a new trouble has
arisen. The boy speaks plantation
English and washee Chinese very
we'll at the tender age Of fifteen
months. He is quite old enough to
take his first lessons in the catechism
but his parents disagree as to whether
it shall be a Chinese or a Christian
catechism. Wah Lee insists upon
teaching the boy that the world
rests upon the fin of a
big fish, while Jane VOWS to make him
believe the earth rests upon a very
large rock, which rests upon another
rock, and SO on. Lee wants hi
prodigy to explain the cause Of earth.

big fish wiggled his tail, while the
mother is quite sure earthquakes are
special yisitations of Providence Oh
wicked communities. Then they
both differ as TO whether or not tn,
youngster ought to begin the cultiva
ton Of a cue. Wah Lee has lonG
since dispensed with his pig.
tail, because it wal too much
in the way of his wife
and was Indifferent on the subject
Jane did not push the matter, and SC
the pig-tail was dropped.
The other day the little heather
was caught selecting all the aces from
a pack Of cards, and poking them NJ
his sleeve. No longer than last night
he was found with a number Of younC
chickens in his pockets. He has in.
herited some of the traits of both
parents, and promises to make his
mark in the world. The reporter is
eagerly watching his progress.
