NOT WHOLLY FREE FROM GUILE.
Traveller Cerreets a False Impression n
to Central Americsn Indians.

Fr1 ths New ORLEANS Tirnes-Tss Hnoerst
1T is q common impression that the
Central American InGlau Is singularly
honest and free from guile said trav-
eler who came up to New Orleans on the
last banana boat. but don't you believe
q word OF that story. l recently made a
ruie-back trip 10 the Olancha district. in
Northwest Honduras, my pa -ticUlAr pur-
pose being TO take a look at the famous
old placer diggings on the Gulyape River
/ spent a week or 50 in the region. and
was especially interested in the native
Indians who live along the banks Of the
stream and VINO regard the piaCers as a
sort of family pOcket-bOOk. from which
they help themselves as they please
When a household needs anything that
can't be hunted or fshed-in other words
that has 10 be bought at the store, the
women sally out with their 'bateas,' or
wooden bowls. and proceed 10 wash as
much gold as is required for the purchase
The metal they secure in that way is
usually in the fOSm OF minute grains.
hardly as large as the head of d pin. but
occasionally they find little nuggets, and
that brings me to my story
THE Cay before ] left / was AT the
principal store of the district talking to
the proprietor, or 'tiende~Os,' when a
typical Olapcha Indian shambled in and
sat down on the floor l attempted u
question him about the diggings and
cloth and showed me three small, fantas-
tically-Shaped nuggets which he said his
wife had lately found. IL occurred TO NE
that they would make interesting SOU
veuirS mounted as ScarfpinS or bangles
and after some haggling ] bought the lot
for s4-they weighed altogether something
under a quarter of an ounce. | Was so
disarmed by the apparent simplicity of
the Indian that l never thought 10 eX-
anime the nuggets closely until l reach
ed Port CorteZ and then il hardly need
ed 4 second look 10 see that they were
not gold at all, but evidently a sort OF
brass alloy.
"A fen days later heard from an en-
ginear who came down from the Guayape
district that my Indian friend vas boast
ing that he had stolen some yelloE COM
position metal bearing from a stamp mill
and melted up a fragment in a home
made clay crucibls In that way he pro-
duced his handsome nuggets. II he had
put in the same amount OF labor at the
placers he could easily have washed out
$50 worth of gold. That's what l call q
natural aptitude for croOkedness."

son of the famous Prince Kung, who was
the only member of the imperial family

when It was occupied by the allies In 1850
and who made the terms Of peace that
closed that war. Being the oldest nephew
OF the Emperor TUHg Chin, who died
childless in 1879. Prince Ching had the
best claim TO The throne, and would doubt
less have been selected Emperor but FOR
the fact that his father occupied 50 i'm

and, according 10 Chinese etiquette the
elevation Of Prince CHING would have
meant the retirement OF his father, whose
services the empire at that time could
not afford 10 lose. He was therefore

Emperor. was selected IL MS stead Since

From Leslie's Weekly.
All of these lesation compounds are
surrounded by high brick walls that eff
fectually cut off the sights, and most OF
the sounds and Smells from without, but
there are numerous back gates and mar
row passages and no other city in the
world offers such facilities for under

British legation is ad dioined on the west
by the imperial carriage yards. and en-
both north and south by the compounds
of friendly Chinese. while one Of its back
gates opens into a native market. 50 IL
is unlikely. If IL were besieged, that there
would BE- any difficulty in smuggling in
ample supplies and provisions. and il

are no less than six or eight wells within
the legation grounds. There are IN the
British legation not only the estabn h
ment Of the Minister and separate estab-
HShments for the first and second secre-
taries. hut extensive quarters and bar
racks for consular students and mill taFy

general stables for the rest of ths !ega-

Stevenson IA nd the Chinese.

ROBERT Louis Stevenson, in his menoor-
! able journey across the plains from New
York TO San Francisco in an emigrant
train, was appalled, by the treatment the
Chinese received at the hands of the ig-
norant Americans.
"Of all stupid ilI-feelings." he wrote
the sentiment of my fellow-Caucasians
toward our companions in the Chinese
car was the most stupid and the worst
They seemed never TO have looked at
them, or thought of them, but hated them
priori The Mongols were their enemies
In that cruel and treacherous battle
field of money. They could work better
and cheaper in half a hundred industries.
and hence there was no calumny too idle
Tor the Cducasians to repeat and even
to believe. They declared them hideOus
vermin. and affected kind of choking in
the throat when they beheld them Now.
as matter of fact, the young Chinese
man Is like a large class of European
women that CT raising my head and sud
denly catching sight of one al a consider
able distance, l have for an instant been
deceived by the resemblance | do not
say il is the most attractive class of our
women, but for all that, many a mans
wife is less pleasantly favored. Again nv
emigrants declared that the Chinese were
dirty. / cannot say that they were clean.
for that was impossible upon the Jour
ney; but in their efforts after cleanliness
they put the rest Of US TO shane
THE Chinese are considered stupid be-
cause they are imperfectly acquainted
with English. They are held TO be base
because their dexterity and frugaiity en-
able them to underbid the lazy, luxurious
Caucasian. Thev are said to be thieves:
/ am sure they nave no monopoly OF thar.
I am told again that they are Of the race
of river pirates and belong 10 the most
despised and dangerous class in the Ce-
lestial empire. But II this be so what re-
n.arkabie pirates have We here: and what
must be the virtues. the industry, The
education, and the intelligence OF their
sUperiOrs al home!
For my own part, I could not but look
with wonder anC respect on the Chinese.
Their forefaJheri watched the stars be-
fore mine had begun 10 keep pigs Gun
powder and printing. which the other day
We initiated. and a school CT manners
which We never had the delicacy 50 much
as 10 desire 10 initiate, were theirs in a
long past antiquity. They walk the earth
with us, but IL seems they must be OF
different clay. They hear the clock strike
the same hour yet surely Of a different
epoch. They travel by steam conveyance,
yet with such q baggage Of old Asiatic
thoughts and suDerstitions as might
check the locomotive in its course What
ever is thought within the circuit OF the
great wall; what the wry-eyed, spectacled
schoolmasfer teaches in the hamlets
round Pekin: religions so old that our
language looks = halfiing boy alongside;
