A CURIOUS COLONY.
The Shrimpers Who Live Not FAr
<6.., from Now Orleans Are o
Mixed Lot.

II was over at the Chinese shrimp
fisheries on Grand lake lately" said
a gentleman interested in the canning
business, land was astonished at the
singular mixture of races at the camps.
About two-thirds of the shrimpers seem
to be simon pure Chinese, but the rest
are an extraordinary combination of
Manilamen, mulatto, Indian, Mexican
and the Lord only knows what. A chap
who attracted me particularly was at
work in one of the packing huts. He
was tall, slender fellow, with a cop
per-colored skin and strikingly regular
features. He had piercing black eyes
and a well-formed head, but when L
tried to talk to him discovered he was
next door to an idiot.
81 took dinner with an old Chinaman,
who owns little shrimpery, and found
him quite a luxurious liver. He gave
me preserved ginger that perfumed the
whole place, and made tea from leaves
as long as ones finger, wrapped in
punches of silk, in silk and foil. He i'm
ports it himself for his private use.
'"The funniest creature l encountered
at the lakes was baby. TIE father
was Chinaman and its mother seemed
to be part Indian and part Manila. The
baby had a queer, weasened face, like
little monkey, and a very dark skin.
The eyes were set on the bias in true
oriental style, and to cap the climax it
had six toes. 1t was climbing around
the wharf as agile as squirrel, and its
costume consisted of short, ragged
blue shirt and an enormous bamboo hat,
like an inverted chopping bowl. Itwas
the most comical and uncanny thing I
ever saw off Chinese fam. o.
