gether there. The body was in coffin
of American pattern and make. There
was no priest of any sort or master OF
ceremonies, but at one end OF the wall
was a large strip Of red paper, upon
which we're inscribed characters said to
represent the name OF god. With
one accord the friends OF the late Ah
Nov burned other red papers about his
bier, their faces never cheerful, now
posit vely dismal, as befitted the occa-
sion. After dinner the carriages drove
up TO the doorway, and after All Mow's
body had been removed to the heare
forty Cinnamon who had known him
in life entered the carriages.
The Chinese have notion that each
man has three souls. When he dies
one tardy soul remains with the body in
the coffin, and until it is safe under
ground there is every chance that the
principal demon may capture it. To
keep the devil away it is customary In
China to scatter pieces OF paper along
the route Of the funeral procession to
distract the attention OF the pursuing
devil so that the body may be buried in
peace. Yesterday All Mow's last soul
was thus guarded by number Of China
men, who threw strips OF perforated red
paper into the street aud about the
hearse and carriages, and so bewildered
the evil pursuer before he got out OF
Mott street even, that the procession
was then able to proceed on its way to
the cemetery without further fear.
At the grave the body was at once
lowered and the grave filled up. Then
each Chinaman there produced his red
papers and sticks Of incense, and innu.
merable little red paper fires were
lighted over the new made grave, while
the air was scented with the peculiar
Incense. When dish OF rice had been
set upon the grave the bereaved colony
wended its way back to the dens and
red manners OF Mott street.
