A CHINESE SWEETHEART,s QUEER
GIFTS.
They May Be Snusnges, or Even Veg
etables, But Never Candy.


From the San Francisco Call.
All Leen is a good little girl who lives
in the Presbyterian mission, away from
the pomps and vanities of all this wicked
world. Every Sunday however, she goes
religiously to church along with the
other girls who have been rescued by
the kind-hearted ladies of the Occidental
board. The passing of this procession is
an opportunity eagerly seized by the ELI
gible bachelors of Chinatown who turn
out en- masse and line the sidewalks along
the route, each good one cherishing the
intention of seeing Miss Culbertson for
the hand of the girl who strikes his fancy
most.
One gay and sprightly bachelor was,
particularly struck couple of months
ago by the beauty of All Leen. lie watch
eu the procession pass with eyes only
for her, and when she had entered the
sacred edifice, instead of resigning himself
to go home, he made mighty effort to
overcome the prejudice of early educa-
ton and followed her into the church.
From that date change has come over
the bachelor He no longer burns punk
at the shrines of his countrymen, nor does
he dissipate money in having his for
tune told; in fact, it has become in ev-
cry way worthy of All Leen, to whom he
is soon to be united.
Courtship. as it is understood in Chi
nese circles, is a somewhat tame and
practical affair There is a regular rou-
tine at the mission, IN winch cOmprO,
mise is made between American and
Chinese customs. The bridegroom-elect
may see his future bride, he may even
converse with her from opposite sides OF
the room, but the prophecies would be
completely outraged If the betrothed cou-
pie were to shake hands. Two or three
times a week the fiance makes a call from
tiVe TO ten minutes in duration, and if he
is desperately enamored he never goes
empty-handed.
Sausages are a gift that is highly ap-
preciated, S-ld Chinese vegetables are also
much esteemed. Fruit is frequently
brought to the engaged ladies, both in the
Presbyterian and Methodist missions, but
1t would outrage Monaghan etiquette to
bestow candy. The love-making is gem
orally monosyllabic on the part of the
young lady, and even the man finds his
gift of conversation languish. At the Pres
byterian mission a charming young Chi
nese girl named All Cheng, a professional
interpreter, satisfies etiquette by being
present during all the interviews. Many
Chinese merchants have offered to la)
their hands and hearts at rAh Cheng's
feet, but she has seen so much of love
making as an onlooker that she refuses
to go through the ordeal of entertaining
a fance on her own account. Even the
touching romance of All Leen has not
inclined the little interpreter to follow
her example.

RUNS OF THE RACERS.
A Couple of Rank Outsiders Among
the winners of the Day.

New Orleans, Dec T.-The attendance
was fully up to the average, although it
was too cool in the grand stand for com
fort. Two favorites, a second choice and
a couple of rank outsiders won. Nikita
surprised every one by winning the handi-
cap in a gallop, much to the disgust of
the talent, who had backed Domingo down
to 3 to 5. Rollers filly was quoted as
good as 30 to l in some books.
In the first race Sir John and Han Ban
were together in the stretch and seemed
to have the race between them, when Sir
Johns saddle girth broke and Stewart was
fortunate enough to stay on him and get
third place. Alex Shields ships his string
including Logan, to California tomorrow.
The weather was clear and the track
heavy. A summary follows:
FIRST Race-Seven furlongs, selling Han
Ban. 105 Johns, II to 5, won, with King
Gold second and Sir John third. Time

STRENGTH OF THE ONION.

From the Richmond Qnd) Register.
The onion has long been famous as a
weapon, both of offense and defense-es-

HamIets uncle, its offense is rank and
smells to heaven, and like the other place
to <those who dislike it. 1t has parted

temporary separation OF husband and

landlady has insisted on having it on the
table every day. AS the temperance lee

"Oh," said Justice Foster, that is diff

would perform the ceremony. The certi-

permission to Christian Larson and Allie

sary was to learn whether they would
promise to love, honor and obey. At length
the court wrote on piece of paper:

A Large Amount of Dividends VIII

Valdosta. Ca, Dec. 27.-There are seven
corporations doing business in Valdosta,
and they will all have stockholders meet
ings next week. The dividends which will
then be declared will amount to $4,000 for
the year. These enterprises include the
banks and other institutions doing bust
ness as a corporation, but the dividends
do not represent the full profits, as a
large amount goes to the surplus fund
in each. Two guano factories, two large
lumber mills, machine shops and other
creative establishments owned by private
parties are not counted in this. The
profits from these establishments will
amount to $4,000, or more, making $780,
coo in dividends from a dozen enterprises
located here. 1t is interesting to note
that Valdosta has never had a corporation
to fail or go into the hands of a receiver,
and she has never had a mill or any other
creative establishment that did not pay
handsome profits to the promoters. The
showing made here is a tribute to the bus
ness sagacity of the people here and the
prosperity of this section.
