Philadelphia Ress: Lien Sang Of
Hong Kong dined Of the Continental last
evening. He 10 . Chinese gentleman oi
50 years, retired merchant, and IL max
ing visit TO this country, wEsre bis houss
has branches. Mr.. Sang left on the train
for New York, where be will be enter
tanned BY Wong Chin Foo, the brilliant
young Chinese author and journalist. Mr..
Eang was impressed with Philadelphia,
which he says has fewer foreign influences
than either San Francisco or Chicago.
He said through an interpreter that
America Il q very funny country, because
here we do things exactly opposite 10 the
best form In civilized China. We shake
hands with each other; the Chinaman
shakes hands with himself. We uncover
the head a. mark Of respect I; the Chinese
gallants not only keep their hats on, but
when wishing 70 be very polite remove
their shoes. We shave our faces; they
their heads and eyebrows. We cut out
finger nails; they consider Il aristocracy
10 let them grow from i've inches 10 .
foot In length. The Chinaman whiteno
his shoes, 6uTies his dead on the surface
Of the earth, and demands that his wine
be scalding hot when served. With us
black clothing b sign Of mourning; In
China white garments indicate the loss Of
friends. In the Celestial empire, not chill
dren, but old men, ny kites, walk on stills,
play marbles, shoot frecrackers, and, In
doing this, use their feet as much 10 pos
sible instead Of the hands. In China the
men are milliners, "washerwoman" and
dressmakers. Weliye, cook and eat usually
on the first hoor, sleeping up stain; but
the Chinaman reverses this order. In
dating letters We write the year last they
place lt 6rst' In speaking of the compass
they always say Il points south. Wepay
our doctors when We are III they pay -
long e. they remain well, but a. soon a.
they get sick the pay stops. Here men kill
their enemies; q Chinaman gete revenge
by killing himself. They launch ships
sideways. ring bells irom outside, and
turn screws from right 10 left.
Mr.. Sang mourniully observed: Amer
lea may be great country, but Il d truly
the Queeroat Of placoa."

The fair warriors Of Dahomey have no
menial drudgery to dull the fne edge oi
their martial spirits. Women captured
In war, and not few females too Of their
own people, are cooks and water carriers
and beasts Of burden for the Amazon
regiments. She is indeed a lucky soldier
whom the king promotes to the most
sacred precincts Of the palace; for she
becomes one Of the Leopard wives, and
