The CHIMES NEW YEAR.
Everywhere the elestials Exclaim 10
Each Other .sGung Ha Fac Toes.p

Each Other .'Gung Ha Fac Toes."
Yesterday was the first day of the
Chinese year II of the reign Of the EN-
peror Kong Suey, and the Chinese resi-
dents celebrated 1t in style which
would make an American ''rounder" en-
vious
Despite the heavy rain of Saturday, the
Cinnamon were seen plodding up and
down the market streets of the city
purchasing chickens and ducks for the
big oinner of yesterday. which was one
of the important features of the celebra
tion Of the day by the natives of the
flowery kingdom.
at the beginning Of the new year
every Chinaman is supposed to have paid
his debts and closed the last year s
accounts preparatory to starting over
with clean record If one has not the
money or the desire to pay his debts, he
is ostracsed from ultra fashionable
Chinese society and he is bored by the
calls of his creditors who leave their
bills instead OF visiting card.
The morning was occupied in preparing
the big dinner for the day, and to this
all the friends Of the ''washee man" were
invited. After this comes the calling,
and leaving little strips Of rice paper
bearing Inscriptions in Chinese hierogly-
phics The Chinese then congregate in
the room answering for a Joss house and
they there pray to their little brass gods
They bow down and mutter q few words
in Chinese and then burn joss money
before their deity and the priests ia
charge.
lii China the people continue the
r1af.~ r..
but here the Industrious laundrYmen are
too Denurious to spend that much time in
idlenees and feasting, aud therefore went
to work as usual this morning.
The Cinnamon love noise of any kind,
and for this purpose they laid in stock
Of frecrackers and bombs which would
delight the heart of a small boy and
which they fred off without stint.
There are ony few Cinnamon in this
city but this small number made things
as lively Us twice as many Americans
All the laundries were cleaned and put
in shape for the great celebration and all
the apparatus for conducting the laundry
business was carefully put out Of sight
Delicacies that the Americsn Palate has
been never educated up to were put out
Of sight very rapidly by the MOngolian
feaeters.
After the dinner most Of the men, there
ars no women here, made calls on their
brother laundrymen, and exchanged we'll
wishes. They did not forget to make
good resolutions either, and they in
formed the reporter that they had
"swoln of fan than and hilittin de
pipee.'
Many Of the Cinnamon were afraid
TO use their FIRE works on account of the
courts They were arrayed in their
beat and wore gorgeous coats of lowered
silk and bright satin shoes In the even
ing they burned their gosh sticks before
their little gods and looked with serenity
over the excitement of the days pleas
ures.
