How the Chinamen Bargain for Wives.

An Australian Chinaman, when anx- ious to have a wife of his own nation, says the North China Herald, sends a letter to an agent in Hong Kong. The following is condensed translation of one of these epistles "I want wife. She must be maiden under twenty years of age, and must not have left her fathers house. She must have never read book, and her eyelashes must be half an inch in length. Her teeth must be as sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon. Her breath must be like unto the scents of the magnificent odoreus groves of Java, and her attire must be from the silken weavers of the Ka, Li-C Ching, which are on the banks of the greatest river in the world-the overfio wing Yangtse-Kiang."
 The price of Chinese woman de- livered in Sydney is 938, but two Chinese women only cost 952; there fore, the heathen Chinese import the women in couples. The importer never sees his women before they arrive, and then he generally selects the best look. looking one. The other is shown around to number of well-to-do Chi nese, and after they have inspected her, she is submitted to what may be called public auction. At a recent sale at Sydney young girl, aged about 19. was offered, and after some spirited bidding she was purchased by 8 wealthy Chinese storekeeper, whose place of business is in one of the leading towns of New South Wales, for 9l2O. The melancholy aspect of the Celestial girl, as she went away in company with the man who purchased her, was deplorable to the last degree.
