A TRANsPuANTeD VILLAGE.
Some Interesting Facts About the Chinese
at the National Export Exposition.

Philadelphia, Oct. IA Chinaman in
America is an interesting personality
wherever you find him and however
accustomed he has become 10 the ways
OF the country. A Chinaman trans
ported in few days from the byways
OF Canton and Fow Chow to the full
glare of an American city is still more
curious. There are 500 such China
men now wandering about the aisles
and exhibits of the National Export
exposition. They have not yet been
walled up within the enclosure of their
artificial village. In the meantime the
denizens of this section of the exposi-
ton Esplanade mingle with the Curl
Gus crowds through the exhibition
buildings the most interested and in
teresting features of the exhibition
throng. The Chinese have come di-
rectiy from their Oriental home. and
nave had no opportunity to lose the
dlstinctiveneSS of their nationality
and domestic habits and occupations.
They are constructing a Chinese quar-
ter with that infinite patience and
fidelity to detail characteristic of the
race, after the real Chinese fashion.
and deport themselves just as they did
few weeks ago when they were in
habitants of the Flowery Kingdom.
The managers of the Chinese village
have had no end of trouble with the
custom house authorities, but they
have finally settled with the officials
OF the treasury department.
The village, which is the greatest
concession on the Esplanade. and in
some respects the most interesting.
consists of winding street, upon
which Chinese shops, a joss house,
chinese restaurants, Chinese private
houses and Chinese theater open to
the public. The village covers an area
OF nearly 10000 square feet. AS the
buildings are numerous and extensive.
the work of preparing them for ex-
hlbition has taken a correspondingly
long time. but the manager, Yam Phon
Lee, has arranged for an opening of
his village on Saturday. In the mean
time the villagers are busy building
the roadwavs. putting up bamboo mat
ting with :Ici. & at fantastic designs
and placing the exhibits in their proper
places. The solemn patience and the
attention TO the very small things in
the decoration of their artificial homes
and public places could only be found
In the work of Celestials who have not
been contaminated with the more care
less habits of the west. OF the 400
people at the village nearly all are men
or boys, ranging in age from Is TO so
years. A few of them are students
from educational institutions of Can
ton, but most of them are from the
suburban and country districts which
surround that city. These Chinese
from the country are able bodied and
Intelligent looking men, but they are
entirely unfamiliar with the people
and the habits of other nations They
are expert In certain Chinese articles,
but know next TO nothing of the arts
and sciences and are unaffGctedlv
amazed at the American way of doing
things.

A Famous House md Lot.

An article entitled Historic Homes
In Washington, by Catherine Cava-
nagh, in Munsey's, gives an interesting
narrative of the home once occupied by
James G.. Blaine. The lot on which it
stood once belonged to Henry Clay, who
won it at a game of cards, at which he
was always very lucky. On his wife be-
ing asked if her husbands gambling
did not make her anxious, she an
swered: ''Why should worry? Henry
generally wins. - After keeping the lot
short time he swapped it for NAL
tese jackass that Commodore Rodgers
brought home from a Mediterranean
cruise. He built the house. In it once
lived James K Paulding, secretary of
the navy uader Van Buren,. Secretary
Seward bought it. and was living in it
when his assassination on the night of
Lincoln's murder was attempted. Sec
rotary of War Belknap afterward re-
sided there. and finally Mr.. Blaine.

A Vivid Dissertation.

A short sighted and deaf old gentle
man who was at an entertainment
where professor performed on a big
bass viol, thus described the scene
1.-The professor carried on to the plat
form n gigantic beetle attached to the
end of a sort of lamppost- He leaned
over and fondly embraced it, tickling
its back violently with long comb
1.-The spectators seemed much de-
lighted at this display of scientific af-
lection. The beetle was apparently quite
unmoved. Then the professor gave a
capital imitation of the drunken man
and the lamppOst. He swayed rapidly
up and down, clutching quickly at all
points.
Sometimes his fingers quivered pas
sionately upon one spot, like an i'll tenn
pered man struggling with an obstinate
pair of braces. Sometimes he rested
momentarily, as one rests after a con-
test with stiff white tie.
FINALLY, he gave last convulsive
tickle to the huge beetle, picked himself
up from the lamppost and carried off
the unresisting insect. The audience
applauded vigorously"

There was scarcely picture that was

however costly, were thrown down and
broken to atoms.

magnificent mirror that reached from
the floor to the ceiling. He surveyed it

these legends sits grinning human

highly polished surfaces are hung on

curious charnel house symbols of NOR

large table against the south wall that
death vertically sits enthroned. In the

from all parts of the human frame are
surmounted by a skull. Here hand,
