CURRENT MISCELLANY.
curiosities and Vasaries Of Chinese
Looic.

IL a railway was proposed and il was
shown q Chinese mandarin that 10
might earn 100000 per year, he would
Immediately exclaim that you proposed
to rob China Of half a million per an
mum. You might point out that there
was no robbery about it; that people
need not use the railway unless they
liked and could, if they preferred,
travel or send their goods by boat In
the old way. THAT is just what | say,
the mandarin would reply. You are
robbing the boatmen." You might next
point out that a large proportion OF the
earnings would be paid in wages, and
was, perhaps your most effective ar
gument; but even here the mandarin
would assert that you were taking
your employees from agriculture. which
was, he would claim, much better for
the nation. AS for the money paid for
materials imported, that, the mandarin
would hold was lost to the country.
You might point out that the money
need not necessarily leave the country.
being paid into a bank and being lnal-
ly exported in the shape of silks, tea,
etc but the mandarin would reply:
"That is Just what 1 say. You steal the

ally, you would try to get round him
in another way. The mandarins hold

say, f150 per annum. A mandarin
must therefore, take fees; he does not
call them bribes, or consider them so.
You set to work to make the desired
arrangement in the best way you can,
and the mandarin does the best he can
for himself. AS a foreigner, you are
considered a rich man and thus fair
game. The mandarin, if honest and pa.
| triotic, wants to do the best he can
for his country, but interprets this in
versely, namely, by making things as
bad as possible for the other side. He
cannot believe that a bargain may be
profitable to both parties. In fact, the
more honest the mandarin the more
difficult it is to transact business.-En

In those days there was no bell in the

the horses were off. I've seen the book

horses hit the stretch. On this partlcu-
lar day there were 45 books in line.
and thousands were Wagered on the
results. Finally the horses were called
to the post. Just as the bugle sounded
a heavy fog came up and the whole
track was enveloped. I was standing
near the judges stand, and the first
thing l knew the horses passed under
the wire. l saw n big. strong colt named
Ralph Black gallOp home, but the fog
was so dense that the judges had to
come down and wait until the Jockey
came back to dismOunt before the win

to the ring and found the boOkies still
taking bets on the race. The price
against Ralph Black was > to /, and

fellow. named Jack Mcdonald, goinl
from book to book betting 500 on tn,
colt. He got on over $1,000. when The
caller came in and yelled Ralph Blacl

SIERRA DELAYED.

SAN FRANCISCO, August lit is
reported that the new steamship Sierra,
lately built at Cramps Ship Yard and
scheduled to sail for this port soon to
take her place on the Australian route,
will be detained for some weeks at Phi
ladelphia in order to have important
improvements made. While in the East
some weeks ago John d. Spreckels. it
is said, inspected various new steamers
and found that the Sierra was scarcely
up to date in some respects, although it
was no fault of the builders. He gave
orders to have the Sierra fitted up like
those he had examined. AS a result,
the steamer Mariposa will make an
other trip to Sydney.
