Who are the "Dunkers?"

Probably the most curious OF all the
religious assemblies was that held by
tho Dunkers or Dunkards. IN Indiana
1t was an immense one, said to number
5000. The Dunkers are mostly farm
ers, their homes are chieil, in Pennsyl-
vania. Ohio and Indiana. They hold
the Baptist doctrines as to i'm mersion,
and are very exclusive. Their dress is
peculiar. resembling in most particulars
that of the Quakers. The most import
ant thing that this assembly did, re-
garded from II public point of interest,
was their regulation of the mustache oil
the brethren. The full beard has been
the rule, the mustache the exception.
It is now ordered that the Bunker
brethren who want 10 cultivate hair on
their upper lips may do so. provided il
is not sufficient in amount TO interfere
with the giving of the ''holy kiss. =

In. The latter, answering to the name OF

the crowds Of people hanging around

The average daily receipts are said
to be about $1,000. The smoking
apartments are divided into four classes.
In the cheapest arc coolies who
pay about fourpence for their smoke.
In the dearest the smoke costs about
sevenpence The drug supplied in each
class Is about the same. both In quality
and quantity; It is the difference in the
pipes that regulates the price. The
best kinds are made OF ivory, the stem
often inlaid with stones, and rendered
more costly by reason OF more elaborate
carving; the cheapest kinds are made
simply Of hard wood. The rooms also
are furnished according to class. In
the most expensive the lounges upon
which the smoker reclines is OF fine
velvet, with pillows OF the same mate
rial; the frames Of each couch are inlaid
with mother OF pearl and jade, and the
whole air OF these rooms is ono OF sem
suous luxury. There is also number
OF private rooms. In the poorer 500

tatterod yellow and gray robes of tho
Buddhist And Taoist priests. Women

There is accommodation for $50 smok-
