The Chinese Funeral.

Last Sunday the funeral of the dead
Chinaman took place. The man was
brother OF "Big Sam" the wash man,
and was person of some standing
among his countrymen, therefore the
funeral ceremonies were conducted with
much more magnificence than on ordi.
nary occasions of this kind. A good
sized pig was killed and roasted, and
there was roast chicken and other meats
for the mourners to feast upon after per.
forming their duties. The wake was
held on the fiat near Chinatown and the
corpse was surrounded by candles and
China gin while the obsequies were
taking place. Many of the white peo-
pie through curiosity attended, and
even followed the remains to the grave
The Chinese string band of Carson was
engaged for the occasion, and the music
they made was enough to scare seven
devils from all the dead Cinnamon in
the land. AT the grave, when the
corpse was lowered, some pork, chicken,
gin, etc., was placed on the coffin to
feed the spirit of the defunct on its
travels to the happy hunting ground.
One one side Of the grave his clothes,
bedding, and all his worldly possessions
except what money he might have had,
were placed in pile and burned. The
priest again went trough some kind OF
performance and the show was over.
Requiescat in pace.
