The white lady married 10 China
inan living Oh Alder street, has ex-
pefieDcedg some trouble and embar-
raasmeDt. from the peculiar astonish-
ment and wonder Of her Caucasian
friends. The most important feature
necessary 10 make q happy manager

fuI shining creature that often acts as
an important lever ia these affairs Of
love. Pang Lung became acquainted
with his wife in San Francisco, about

Kindness to her pupils, and sweet
gentle presence Interested Lung and
be therefore applied 10 the proper au-
fbdtity and became an appreciasive
and devoted pupil. His admiration

betrayed hin, and the lady, dfscog-
ering the depth and true nobilRR of
his passion, frankly told him that she
loved him, and In answer 10 fhe i'm
patient eutrsaties and passionate
words Of her lover, assented TO his

criticism and abusive epithets heaped
upon the unfortunate young couple
by the newspapers and individuals
became 80 painful and annoying that

neat and lady-like. Her rooms ars,
furnished Ia as nice and elegant a
manner as that Of any Of our Caueas-
ian citizens. or course the positi0.;
-iie has voluntarily chosen and az
uepted for life no doubt seems un-
pleasant at tines, owing to the fact
that she unconsciousIy suffers from a
S.pciai o-tracism, and her society of

isIinary Chinaman. In his habits he
, IS clean and neai; his teeth are a.

b. further questioning, we eiIcited
/ the information that he intended soon
| 10 quit his mode of living and adopt
ail the peeuliarities and habits of an

uounce all ;hought OF ever going hack
10 China, and expect 20 die and be
buried in this country. Mrs. p. Lung
has Two children. The oldest is a lit
tie gin pf about two yesrs: she was
horn in san Francisco. The other Is
II baby about month oil, and Is as
cunning as any baby could possibly
look. The Chinese do not call except
her husband invites them, and she
has no trouble or interruption from
any of them. The Chinese women
are friendly. 4 few of the higher
class visit her, and are intelligent
and virtu6os in their character and
polite and dignified in their demean-
ar. The father and mother OF Mrs.
