The Pacific Ocean is vitality different
from the Atlantic, and Pacific Ocean
travel offers almost as many new things
as one of the countries of Europe.
When you step on the deck of an
Atlantic ship you are in England. As
soon as you land your baggage in the
state room of an Pacific steamer you
are in China. The ships are manned
entirely by Cinnamon with the excep-
tioR of the chief officers, and you drop
into the land of Celestials the moment
you lose sight of San Fancisco. The
steerage passengers are all Chinese
Your food is cooked by Chinese cooks
and your rooms are cared for by white
gowned, almond-eyed men in pigtails.
The walters, the sailors and the coal
beavers are Cinnamon, and on the
Gaelic. the European officers did not
number over q dozen. l watched the
sailors closely, and Captain Pearne,
who is one of the oldest captains on
the Pacific Ocean, tells men they make
better seamen than the English or the
Americans. They are conscientious in
their work and do not shirk. They
never talk back, and if they swear it is
in their own language. They never get
drunk, and the only time they grum Bile
is when their rice is not of the best
quality. These Chinese sailors wear a
dress which Is cross between that of
the American Chinese washerwoman
and the pure Celestial. Its extremely
light, ard consists. as a rule, of but
two garments. These are wide, shirt
like gown and a pair of pantaloons
which are as full as those of q Zouave,
and which flap loosely about their yell
low-skinned legs. Some of them wear
shoes and some of them do not, and
the skin of their feet is of the dark, rich
bronze of their faces. They have sail
or's caps which fit closely down above
their almond eyes, and each one has a
big knife which he carries in case at
tached to the centre of the back of his
waist-band, and resting, as it were, on
the small of his back. Their chief
food is rice, and they use chop sticks in
eating it. They get so cents day and
consider themselves well paid.

were going from America back home to
Chine, and the men were of all classes
from the Chinese merchant to the
cooIie. ] stood for hours looking down
upon the from the upper deck. They
were rather dirty thar clean, but their
slant eye their long cues and their
half Chinese, halt-An erican dress
made queer conRlomeratIon OF the
picturesque and the ridiculous. Not a
few of them had on soft American hats
End some wur9 American clothes. but
the majority were Chinese throughout.
The women were OF all ages. and the
skins of some of the younger among
them. They were kept by themselves,
and it is against oruers for man to
enter their apartments. Accompanied
by Chinese steward, | managed, how
ever, to get look at them found
the whole twenty, SIX in tw1 small
cabins, each no larger than hall bed
room. The walls of these cabins were
lined with berths one above the other
like the shelves of sleeping car, and
between these were tiers of other berths
made by fastening poles together and
stretching canvas over them. The bed
that each woman had was about yard
wide, and these Chinese maidens we're
lying on these in every conceivable at
titude as l entered. Some of their
dresses were slightly decollette. They
grInned as we weCt through and jah-
bered at US in Chinese. l afterwards
visited the mems quarters and found
them housed in much the same way.
They spent most of their time in bed
during the voyage, and many of them
had not their clothes off during the
trip.
The Chinese are inveterste gamblers.
and parties of half dozen might be
seen gambling together squatted on
their launches about straw mats, on
which they played with dominoes
Their game seemed to be kind of
poker, and they used lozeDger like but
tons as chips. At some times the loser
would grow so excited that he would
pick up The whole game and throw it
overheard, and instances often occur
where Cinnamon thus gamble away
while going home all they have made
in America.

We had two opium joints on board,
for the CHR amen can not get along
without his opium. These were made
by curtaining off parts of the ships
deck with canvas, and in them at al
most any hour of the day could be seen
dozens of Cinnamon lighting their
opium pipes and blowing the smoke
out through their nostrils. The Chinese
sailors sell opium to these men, and
the greatest amount of smuggling done
on the Pacific Coast is in opiHm; the
duty Is $40 pound. Opium is heavy,
and one can take, 1t is said, enough to
make nice profit, along with him in a
valise. ----.-......
We had two Joss houses in the ship
before which the fires of incense con-
tinually burned, ana the Chinese now
and then threw kind of brown paper,
known as JOSS pc x i rso the sea to
propitiste the gods = the storm.
They are very supers e. ous, and at
tempted to photograph some of them,
but the women turned their heaCs and
ran away, and the men scowled and
moved off whenever they saw my CAM

Fifteen days is a short time in which
to go over 5000 miles of water, but the
Oriental and Occidental is the best line
of Pacific steamers af1oat, and our cap
tain has made the fastest time on
record, which is fifteen days and twenty
two hours. AS to accommodations
our steamer was fully as good as any
steamer of the Atlantic, and the COOK
ing of the Cinnamon was fully up to
that of a French chef. The service
was excellent, and though for fourteen
days we did not see ship nor anything
save the broad expanse of water
bounded by the horizon. we felt as safe
as though we were riding up the Hud-
son. During this fifteen days voyage,
not one of the assengers be ZANE sick
or missed meal. We had none of the
,torms of the Atlantic nor the frosty
winds of the bank of Newfoundland.

Europe has been written to death by
Americans. Asia is still to a large ex-
tent terra incognits and my surround.
ings at present are as strange to me as
China was to Marco Polo. Itis big
continent which lies before me, and this
little nation of Japan has in itself q
population three-fourths that of the
United States. For every four straight
eyed, white-faced men, women and
children in America, there are three
oblique.eyed, yellow-skinned Japanese
men, women and babies, and their eyes
and their color are the least strange
part of them. For every living Amer
lean, there is one East Indian, and one
fourth of the population of the globe
wear pigtails. The whole continent of
Asia is packed full of men and things
as vitality different from us as though
they had existed in some hole in the in
terror of the earth rather than 5000
miles as the anger bores on the other
side of it. Asia is the biggest contin-
entail division of the globe, and it is the
Oldest known to history. It lies 5000
miles away from San Francisco, but
steam, the goddess of fresh water, has
conquered the vast regions of LIQUID
salt, and the DISTANCE is now matter Of
hours rather than space.

cry. From this number, the people
can surely make a choice. Every
gentleman named is a pure and
true democrat. Each one has the
courage and ability necessary to be
a representative, and, If either
one is chosen as the stan dard bearer
of the party, the Bulletin will rally
to his support with all the powers
that be in it.

HDIToR BOLIVAR BULLETIN:

Salisbury, Jan. "A, 1851 Sc e
in your paper m ore items of inter
est now than ever before. One item
in your last issue, I wish especially
to notice-that is, your ticket:
Cleveland for President, Carlisle
for Vice~President, Phelan for
Congress, and Norment for Govern
or. This is good ticket. But, sir,
wish to submit some changes and

ticket. Every gentleman is a
strong, able, and true democrat.
Just such men as the farmers,
the Wheelers, the Ants, the Pronis,
and all the democrats would like to
support. These gentlemen are we'll
acquainted with National, State,
and County affairs, and if they
should be the choice of our people,
they will guard the interests of the
people closely. Col. Joe A Manson
and Hon. J Jesse NOrment are too
we'll known and too strongly en-
deared to .he people of this county
to need any expression ef our appre~
citation oil them or Of their high
standing. AS to Col. w. A. II.
Mcdaniel he is a bold and unhinch-
ing democrat, as editor of the paper
to which l write, he is one of the
finest We have ever had, and as
County Superintendent, our county
never has had as good a one. Their g
is enough of material in hun to
make Senator or anything else.
Now, our own fellOw~townsman, DR..
J. D. Bauls is not SO widely known
as he has never been before the
pub ic for political prsferment. Yet
he is generally known in this coun-
tY as good citizen and good

souled fellow whO makes strong and
lasting friends where ever he goes
He studies public questions closely,
and acts only when his good judg-
