into favor for interior trimmings cocobola wood

that the work done in 1855 will he exceeded by

Mr.. Lui, Of the Chinese consulate in

1000 Cinnamon in that city, OF one-tenth
Of the who.e number in this country and
abSut one-third as many as there are in
San Francisco. There arc J, coo or 9, 500
in the suburbs OF New York. He says
that they are fond of the metropolis and
are better treated there than elsewhere.
Very many are married to white women,
aud in many instances these have proved
happy unions. He declares that il is
mistake to suppose that all the China
@znen seeking wealth in this country
with the idea of returning to China with
it. Gould they become citizens many
would do so, az they like this country
aud are fascinated by the comforts and
advantages of Western civilization. They
would not be as happy in China and Their
only object in returning, could they do

see their parents. Mr.. Lui complains OF
the injustice of American laws regarding
the Chinese, but speaks hopefully of the
