cording TO the writer, there now exists
In the city of KaIfengfu, in China, q

OF land was given 10 certain Hebrews
in the vicinity of Kaifengfu by the En-
peror Tai-Tsu Of the Ming dynasty a
D. 1859. on which the remnant Of a
great tribe settled.
IN one portion Of his narrative the
writer repeats the sto-y of Chinese
Hebrew as to their origin. The story OF
the ChiAese Hebrew is as follows.
