HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

In the course of a conversation in
the Cullen last evening G. G. Menthum,
a, tourist who has just come from the
orient, told some interesting things
concerning the country he has just
visited. He said
Il suppose that you have not heard
of that new sect in the Loo Choo Fin
district of eastern China? They are
fanatics known as tile-here, you d
better let me write the name for you
Wung Foo Cheti Sen, and are making
most wonderful progress. Among
their followers, of course, are men and
women. and it is their belief and COM
mand that the women shall eat no
meat, the men no vegetables. In order
to stop women from eating meat they
explain TO them that they will be
transformed into men after their earth
ly life, and that if their children die
before maturity they will go up or
down and be transformed into bodies
in which the sexes will be combined.
Paradise. after shuffling off this
mortal coil, is forbidden men who eat
vegetables, unless they have done some
deed of valor, and even then they will
be punished, for the moment St. Peter
opens the gate they will be transformed
into women. In case he can't prove
that he has been a hero-in the Ian
guage of a boy l heard in San Fran
cisco-he isn't in it, for he can't enter
even as a woman.
Il hate the people of China. They
are inhospitable and dirty; but I'm
very DESTROYS Of visiting Japan again
1t is wonderful country, filed with
marvellous people,
