he would be obliged to see a great many
things which wouldn't be in keeping
with Pacific coast ideas. One is that
the environment doesn't always make
the man. Right down in shabby, dirty
Poll street he would find two or three
Chinese shops, each of which is man
aged by a man who is quite as shrewd,
sympathetic, and quick-witted as any
man in a similar position anywhere else
in the United States.
Another Side.
There is another side, however, to the
slum life of this quarter of old New
York, and it is visible after p. m. when

street 90 away and the inhabitants of

thing more than occurs after most mar
riages upon which church and society
smile. Every Chinaman is supposed to
be here for the sole purpose OF making
enough money to go back to China and
end his days there. Were he to take an
American wife with him, all of his an
cestors who may be living would regard
her first as curiosity and then as a
slave, to be sold ut whatever price could
be obtained and for whatever purpose
the purchaser might have in view. Quite
possibly some Of the Cinnamon who
have married here do not intend to go
back to China; they have memories,
and know that they are better off in u
Now York Stun than they ever could be
in their native land. Besides, evil COM
mnnications corrupt good manners.
No Chinaman can fail to be affected by
American disrespect for age, although
in the land of the CeleStialS ones an
cestors are rechx>ped almost among the
deities.
Why the Chinese Settled There.
Tho Chinese are said to have made q
part OF New York worse than it ever
was before, but the real truth is that
the Chinaman never settles anywhere
except among the lowest and most de-
based people Of tho city into which he
happens to have strayed. John China
man wasn't looking for bad company
when he selected his present colony
site, but on general principles he as
sumed that he had reached his proper
position. Nothing around him was quite
as nasty and dirty as what he left be-
hind him in his own native land. where
pavements, street-sweepers and scav-
engers arc unknown. He didn't know
how anything could be worse than
China, so he was ready TO look for what
might be better with the calm conf
dence of the poker player to whom any
change of cards will be gratifying. He
could not settle in the live Points, for
that locality, besides being full Of
Italians, had been improving for many
years. Visitors. strangers, philanthro-
pists, and missionaries dropped in there
in such numbers that the ordinary
course of business was completely dis
arranged. Even IA Chinese tramp knows
when he is being looked at; he
shrinks aside and endeavorS to
find a place where he will not be

Notes from tho Eillviitc Banner.

An esteemed contemporary says
that it's editor is way above us in the
world. Well, we don't dispute the
fact, for hanging does elevate q man
wonderfully.
We return thanks for six sQuashes.
This means six years of hard work at
the rate Of one squash year.

We hear that the Berner bill is
dead. 1t died young, with no hope
of hereafter.
Another supper will be given to-
morrow night for the benefit of the
church steeple. The good fortune OF
that steeple is enough to make an
ordinary mortal. with no supper,
commit suicide in self-defense.
We will club Parson Jones SER

chance. The sermons are red-hot,
and our subscribers should be glad OF
this opportunity to get aeclimated
before they strike the hereafter.
For the second time this week we

His Brilliant Successes,

The venerable Dr. Stop, of Blanktown
was doctor of the experimental and eclec
tic school of medicine years ago. 1t was
rule of the doctors never to have anything
wasted, and therefore when any prescrp
tion remained untaken after the patient
had died or recovered, he would empty il
in bottle kept for the purpose, which be
came the receptacle of Heterogeneous,
compound that science could not analyze
A younger member of the faculty noted
this as very singular fact, and asked Of
him the reason for it. The doctor hest
tated little, and then replied that, though
in ordinary cases he knew we'll what to do
there were instances when all his medica.
skill failed, and he was floored with doubt
At such times it was his custom to resort
to the big bottle, and leave nature and acct.
dent to accomplish the cure. "And "

southern part of the state, and the grocery
keeper of this hamlet was commissioned as
agent. The honor thus conferred on Mr.

The first morning after he had donned

alighted and seeing no one but the agent
in sight turned to him with the inquiry:

Haven't any," replied the agent, as he
made anothe" grab to keep his trousers
from droppny down.

"Do it with pleasure, sah," replied his
host.
The cards were produced, and the drum
mer won. The rooster was turned over to
him and was brought to the Worlds fair
city.
A few days ago the Chicagoan again reg

many otherwise sensible people, that they re-

injurious, since such medicaments weaken the
bowels besides convulsing both them and the
stomach with pain. Relief sought from the Bit.

weakness of the bowels. Liver and kidney

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

In the good old days, when at the play,
Twas such joy to sit
Behind some maiden fair, and drink
In each detail of it.
She wore low crowned, dainty hat
Upon her angel brow,
Or else bonnet, small and flat
They do not do it now.
In years gone by, when to the shore
The summer girl would go,
She took some modest summer suits
In just one trunk or SO.
She wore an ample bathing suit sss
That covered her somehow, w
And wore it in the water, too
They do not do it now.
1t used to be the proper thing
For every girl to make
An effort to learn how to sew,
And likewise how to bake.
The dainty ballroom fan unto
The needle made its bow,
And aprons took the place of arms
They do not do it now.
Perhaps, in some bright future day,
We shall not live in vain,
And better styles and better girls
VIII come TO us again.
We hope that such day will come,
And yet we must allow
We're skeptical, because, you know,
They do not do il now.
