The Chinese Raeo.

On board the Australia, on which
sailed to Honolulu, writes Moncure d..
Conway, there is rather venerable
Chinaman, called John Tuck, who is
nearly blind and seems to do only light
work. When n number Of years ago
one of the Pacific Mail ships was taking
cargo Of gold to Hong Kongsa fire
broke out, tue Chinese sailors were de-
moralized and this man mainly CON
trolled them, taking the side Of the
officers. 1t was largely owing to him
that the crew did not seize everything
for a piratical expedition. FThe sh p
sunk and there is some talk Of trying
to find the bars Of gold still in that
water The company would not part
from John Tuck after that. They all
speak highly Of the Chinese servants on
board, and surely there could not be
better sery ants. Our cooks are China
men, and | only wish there were such
on some Of the Atlantic steamships on
which ! have travelled. Every dish
that comes on the table has plainly had
special care bestowed on ii, ana our
daily curry Can old traveller tells me)
is equal to any that can be got in any
country. There are on board about 100
70 settle in the Sandwich Islands. Ever
since we left San Francisco, and even
now, when we are in the tropics, these
people prefer to cram themselves like
sardines in their hold beneath the deck
and play dominos while they melt,
rather than enjoy their deck and the
breezcs that never fail us. 1henner be-
ing OF these Cinnamon must be curious
lY constructed. The women, several Of
whom have babies, do not play Mt
dominos, nor anything else, yet, instead
Of enjoying the open air, they sit in
their small rooms below the deck The

he Is playing at dominos, / have OBJ
served no Chinaman in state Of re-
pose. No matter what the heat or the
time OF day, these men seem to be al
ways doing something, as if motion
rather than inertia were their natural
state. They move about as no'selessly
as necessarily, and at table appear to
anticipate ones request before it is
uttered. Their faces are always peace
full, and have only observed one that
has any wrinkles in it. They are said
to have remarkably good nealth, despite
their disregard Of ventilation and their
opium smoking. Their two passions
are opium and gambling, but their
friendlier critics say that they do not
carry either to the excess prevalent
among whisky drinkers and gamblers
of winter complexion.

Two slOwaways.

James Welsh, aged ten, and Charles
Rawlings aged fifteen years, who were
found by Journal reporter in tho
Overseer of the Poor's Office this morn
ing, are undoubtedly entitled to the
palm as youthful runaways. Three
months ago both boys We're residents Of
Liverpool, Eng, where Welsh has q
father and mother and Rawlings a
father, his mother being dead. They
formed the resolution of starting ont To
see the world, as they informed the re-
porter, and as they frequented the docks
IN Liverpool, the most feasible scheme
that suggested itself was to steal aboard
ship and cross the "big pond" to
America. The ship Nergennes was
lying at the dock, about to start for
Boston, and the boys made up their
minds to go in her. Accordingly, one
dark Saturday night they stole aboard,
and secreting themselves in the dog
house, awaited the sailing of the vessel.
Early next morning the ship left its
moorings and started on its voyage The
boys laid still until the ship was pretty
well out Of port, when they disclosed
themselves to the astonished crew.
There was no other sway now but to
bring them to this country. The boys
We're SO bright, especially Welsh, that
that they became favorites with the
crew, who fitted them out with canvas
suits. After being q few days ont,
Welsh became sick and was kindly
cared for during his illness. They
landed in Boston on Monday, and after
a few days stay they started for New
York, the goal of their ambition.
Gamins in Boston showed them which
road to take, and concealing themselves
in a freight car they came as far as
Hoosac Tunnel, or the ''big tunnel'' as
they called it. Then they rot aboard a
passenger train and reached Troy,
whence they made their way to this
city, reaching here late last night. Cap
tain Davidson took care of them at the
station house, and this morning gave
them hearty breakfast, after which
they were turned over to the Overseer
of the Poor. Both boys say they would
not go back under any consideration,
that they like this country better than
England, and can get along just as well
as at home. Rawlings talks in the
broad dialect peculiar to the lower
classes in England. Overseer Parr will
send them to. New York by the boat to-
night. Rawlings says he has an uncle
there. Albany (M- ~ journal.

A Deserted village.

In the very heart of the Adirondack

"the deserted village Fifty wears ago
90,000Eacres Of land were purchased by
man named Henderson and other cap
italists, a St. Francis Indian having dis
closed to the party that the region was
rich. in ore. A blast furnace, a forge. a
saw-mill, tenement houses, a store. a
school-house ands bank were erected.
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
expended in cutting roads and other
improvements. Operations were car
ried on twenty-four years. In ls45
Henderson was accidentally shot dead.
and five years later business was sud
denly suspended. The ponderous
water-wheel and the machinery are Just
where they stopped thirty-three years
ago. Wheelbarrows and tools lie around
as though operations had been discon-

York sporting club, and the greater part
of the year Myron Buttles, agent of the
club, and his family, are the only III
habitants Of this once busy spot.
