A RED-HAIRED CHINESE.
Mish Cos Queue Is Not Black and
He Is Consequently Abhorred.

Chinatown boasts of a great rarity
in full-blooded Chinese who is
probably the only red-headcd one
on the face of the earth. And what
is more, the Chinese has a light
complexion and blue eyes, and he is
cross-eyed.
Mish Go, as is the freaks name,
was born in China of Chinese par
ents about thirty years ago, and
came to San Francisco year ago.
He is Stunned and disliked by the
great majority of his countrymen.
"Sheepeye" is one of the nick
names applied to him, because from
the Chinese standpoint his eyes re-
semble those of sheep moro than
those of human being. Mish Go
lives in one of the dons of Spotford
alley, and is never seen in close asso-
citation with other denizens of
Chinatown, excepting when he goes
to certain stores to dispose of cheap
trinkets, by which means he acquires
living.
The reason of the Chinese being
held in such disfavor was explained

he said, "therc was another rcd
headed Chinaman in China. He
lived there so long ago that no one
now living had ever seen him. Chew
Fut was his name, and he was tall
and fair of complexion. From some
cause not pleasing in the eyes of one
of the numerous gods, Chew Fut
was known of all over North China,
where he lived and grew to man
hood.
"One day it was disclosed to a few
of the faithful that this particular
Chinese with the red hair must die,
but it was not explained by the deity
why. 1t is not known to this day
why the order was disobeyed, for no
steps were taken to end the life of
Chew Fut, and so fearful venge-
ance was wreaked on the people. A
terrible earthquake occurred, and
the waters Of the sea overflowed the
land, engulling thousands of inhabi-
tants, who were carried out to sea
by the receding waters and drowned

What Pomps Are.

There is a clergyman who talks to
the children of his church about the
duties of giving up the vanities of
this world, and as most of them be-
long to the class that does not own
winter underclothing this advice
seems a little unnecessary.
Last Sunday afternoon he was, as
usual, exhorting his hearers to sacri-
fee things they did not possess aud
to renounce the famous trio of the
world, the flesh and the devil. Sud
denly it occurred to him that per-
haps his language was not clear to
the infant mind, and with view to
finding out he said: GIVE been tell
ing you of the pomps and vanities
of this life. Now, | want to know
who can tell me what pomps are"

DEvILISH DEED.
Internal Machine and Bombs Con-
cealed in a Ship.

New York, March 1S.-The fact
has just come to light that just be-
fore the ship Cyrus Wakefield sailed
for San Francisco, on Friday morn
ing, two dynamite bombs were found
in her hold. In consequence of this
two officers of the ship refused to
sail on her and remained in New
York, positive in the belief that
there is some scheme afoot to sink
the craft before she reaches San
Francisco. The story of the dyna-
mite found among the cargo of the
ship was told by one of the officers
who refused to sail with her after
the finding of the dynamite, and is
as follows:
The first case Of explosives or
bombs was found two weeks ago
when the ship was loading. 1t was
discovered by stevedore between
the timber streaks on the port side
of the ship and with planking laid
over it. The dynamite was in an
iron cylinder, from the end of which
protruded a bunch of matches. A
piece of sandstone was suspended
above the matches in such a posi-
ton that once at sea the plunging
and the rolling ship would cause
the sandstone to sway against the
matches, thus igniting them and
causing the dynamite to explode.
This discovery caused not little
apprehension among the officers and
crew, but as there was no address on
the case and no clew as to how it
came to be in the ship apprehension
was allayed, and the work of load
ing continued and the circumstance
was all but forgotten. There was a
large consignment of oil in casks
By coincidence or otherwise this oil
was slowed almost over the dyna,
mite.
Just one week after the first boml
was found great CONSERVATION was
created among those on board by
the finding of a second bomb. This
was on the day before the ship was
to have sailed. The second bolnt
was like the first, and was placeC
similarly with train of powder
leading from small opening to /;
bundle of matches. On finding tn,
second bomb Captain Morton re
fused to go to sea on the Wakefield
and another officer also declined the
sail. Finally captain willing tc
take the ship out was found, and or
Friday she put to sea. The Cyru:
Wakefield is wooden ship of 270(
tons register. She carries genera
cargo and is fully insured, as is alsc
the cargo.
The Cyrus Wakefield has been in
the Cape Horn service for Ions
time, and she comes to San Fran.

Capt. H. w. Mist, r. n, sent the
BULLETIN the same letter as appear
ed in another paper yesterday, but
too late for publication by us the
day it was received. The letter cor
rects an article copied by the Star
from New York paper, which gave
a political aspect to the freak Of
two British midshipmen in Homo
lulu twenty-eight years ago. The
"middies," one Of whom was the
present Lord Charles Beresford,
were charged with carrying off the
shield bearing the American arms
from the United States Legation.
Capt. Mist quotes from local news
paper of the time relation of show
Capt. Turnour of the Clio waited on
the American Commissioner. and
made himself, and caused them to
make an ample apology; nor only
that, he obliged them, in person, to
restore the shield to exactly the
same position and condition as be-
fore their mischief" Further, Capt.
Mist shows that the American re-
preventative only looked on the
matter as "a mischievous midship-
mans foolish frolic," and he proves
that the young lads were neither
"sent home" nor "dismissed from
the British navy for five years.

FRIENDSHIP RUPTURED.
The Same Idea Strikes Two Girls
With Disastrous Results.

1t was a Christmas gift which
severed the friendship that had ex-
listed between May Eastlake and
Ethel Higgins; or, to speak strictly,
they were parted by two Christmas
presents.
They had been close friends, says
writer in Judge, as you may infer
from the fact that each sent the
other on Christmas eve token of
esteem befitting the season of loving
and giving.
A week before Christmas May
found in store a vase which she
thought would be just the thing for
Ethefs Christmas present, and she
bought it, with the intention of
sending it to her when the day
should arrive.
The storekeeper had several other
vases just like it, and, as it happen
ed, Ethel Higgins saw them too, and
decided to buy one for her friend.
Christmas eve each of the girls
sent the vase she had selected to the
person for whom it was intended,
but the result was very unsatisfac-
tory.
''Well," exclaimed May, indignant
ly, after she had undone the pack
age, $50 Ethel Higgins thinks that
vase isn't good enough for her
Christmas present, does she?" That
settles it! I'll never speak to her
again"
When Ethel Higgins removed the
wrappings from the bundle the mes
senger boy left with her, and saw
the familiar vase she had sent to
her friend, she turned red and then
white with modification and anger,
and calculated:
$50 May Eastlake has the impu-
dence to send my present back, has
she? Well, | always thought she
had some sense, but | see | was mis-
taken. If | ever have anything to
do with her again | hope / shall
know it,"
Thus the two maidens became es-
tranged, and they have never dis
covered that they were parted by
their own desire to express their APP
probation of each other at the hap
py Christmas time.
