la 1875, says a writer ia the Moil and j'
Express, there were but about loO China- 1
men ia New York. The Chinatown of ! i
the present was a very insignificant 1
colony, an<l a queue seen oo the streets j:
created a sensation, at least among the i <
ranks of the small boys downtown. Now |
??a in this ! ?

city. The}- are doing well in various j I
lines of business, and there are a large !
number of them who have bank accounts
running into thousands and tens of thou- j
sands of dollars. In fact there arc at j
least two Chinese merchants in Mott
street who each own considerably over j
$100,000 in property and money. It was |
not until 1875 that the Chine-e took j
possession of Mott street. At that time
the six companies of San Francisco, j
which practically controlled the Chinese j
population of that city, established an I
agency in this once fashionable street. As ;
now arrivals from the Flowery Kingdom i
appeared 011 the see ne they settled down j
in this spot, and Chinatown waxed -and j <
grew strong, until it became what it now i
is, a veritable city within a city, having 1
its own municipal government, ami in j 1
most matters making laws suiting itself, j
and growing in strength oblivious of the i
political ami social amenities of the great ]
city around it. The Chinese evidently ! 1
believe in close corporations. He does 1
not froth at the mouth when the word i
monopoly is uttered in his presence. On l
the contrary he seems to like it. There : i
are six men in Chinatown who praeti- (i
callv run its machinery business, politi-;:
cal ana social. 1 ney arc iu uu* ie>|ivn
not dissimilar to the famous six companies
of California, although they claim :
to be independent of them. i
The Chinaman nuturaliy drifts into the i
laundry business. Two-thirds of the
Mongolians in this city are engaged in 1
it. The thirty headquarters of the thirty
different clans, as they are known, supply J j
the information that there are just about :1
2,000 laundries in this city managed by <
Chinamen. The average number of
workmen in each is three, giving a total , i
of 6,000 Chinamen who are engaged in !]
the commendable industry of keeping j i
New York supplied with clean linen. '
Most of these laundries are owned by in- 1
dividuals, although the big Mott street 1
companies own a good many. Kwong i
Hing Lung made a good many of his : 1
OKU by speculating in laumiries, or
in other worus, in establishing them at '
various parts of the city, and either rent- i
ing them or selling the-in under mort- ''
gages. He is said to hold mortgages on
or to be principal owner in about 200 at
the present time. There is a double
profit in this line of business, for the 000 i <
iaundrymen wh >m he thus practically |
cantrols must all deal in his grocery i
store. Thus does Kwotig prosper and
grow fat. Wo Kee, who is the oldest j
and wealthiest of the Mott street mcr- |
chants, besides his large grocery business, i
is a big exporter of American goods to
China. He makes particularly largo |
shipments in petroleum.
'Ihe Chinese in New York have not
made any large success as domestics as j
they did in the West. There are a few j
hundred of them employed in factories.
About 400 of them arc cigarmakers;
about ns many more are engaged in the
smaller groceries in and about Chinatown,
of which there arc nearly one hundred.
There are upwards of a hundred tobacco
stores and about a dozen drup stores that
are supported by the Mongolian population
and more thau that number of dis- j
tinctivcly Chinese restaurants, and an j
unknown number of places where the |
homesick Celestial cau dream of the \ *
delights of the Flowery Kingdom and of :!
the soft carcesses of obliuuc-eved houris 1
while under the influence of the seductive '
poppy. Besides, Chinatown has a float- ;
ing population of about 000, made up of
gamblers, criminals and men of leisure. |
It is due to the colony to sny, however,
that it is not partial to idlers. j
The Chinese population of the city is :"
divided into what are known as clans. 1
There are thirty in all. Each has a head- 1
quarters where meetings are held, for ]
social and political purposes. The social 1
part of it consists mainly in playing fan ]
tan and poker. ;
Chinatown has a fashion of minding 1
its own business, and of settling its own . 1
affairs, that is worthy of emulation.
Every year it elects a new ruler for its j 1
municipality. Popular suffrage is not j
known here. The big companies before j1
referred to select the man, and their i
choice is never objected to. At present j s
Mr. Woo, of Park Row, basks in the 1 {
sunshine of the favor of Wo Kee and his ! <
confreres, and is the nominal head of , 1
Chinatown, and the village is said to be I
pretty well governed. A majority of the i
disputes that naturally arise are settled j f
out of the courts. Law and order is <
maintained, there is said to be no enrrim- !
tion or dissatisfaction, and the tactics <
of the boodlers are never copied by the i
local magnates. | i
Out of the 0,000 Chinamen in New <
York only fifty have taken the trouble to J 1
become citizens and voters. Deputy >

politicians know this, hence Tom's iiu- j
Eortance. Tom is a very sensible, leveleaded
sort of a fellow and deserves the \
confidence that his fellows place in him. j!
Tom is by no means owned by any of the
factions. j i
If the Chinamen do not become citi- j <
zens they stick to Freemasonry. There
are 1,800 Chinese Masons in New York, i
all members of one lodge, the only one
in the State. The Chinese Masons are
not affiliated with the English organization,
although they follow practically the <
same rules and methods. All of the big
guns in Mott street, from Wo Keedown,
are Masons, and they stick quite as j
closely together under any and all c-ir- !
cumstances as do their English-speaking j
Drotners. wnen one 01 tneir number
died a few days ;igo the whole of Chinatown
turned out and attended the
funeral.
Nearly all of the Chinamen of thisji
city are bachelor-. There are ouly four
Chinese women in New York, and as '
there are a good many obstacles in the
way of securing Caucasian ladies as better
halves but few of the 0,000 men arc
benedicts. About two hundred of them
have, however, succeeded in winning the j;
hearts and hands of females, mainly of !
Ge;man, Italian and Irish origin, and
live in good style with their familcs.
Mott street is the respectable part of
Chinatown. For the most part it is
clean, quiet and orderly. But down in ;
Pell street are gathered several hundred <
of as disreputable heathens as ever cut a j
throat. The chinamen of Mott street <
have an expressive name for Pell strreet. i
Tbey call it "Broken Head etreeV'.and it '
is worthy of the imrnc. Ilcrc is the
headquarters of the Highbinders, the ,
famous secret society of thugs and rnurilertrs.
who caused so much terror in
San Francisco, and who have been at
the bottom of not a few desperate .
mines in New York. There are proba- j
My three hundred of these criminals and :
ruircasts, who haunt tlie dirty base- i
merits and tenements of "Broken Head
street," gambling, drinking, smoking
opium and carrying on wild orgies,
which sometimes end in fatal affrays.
The respectable clement in Chinatown
looks downs upon these ruffians, but it
also fears them. They are known to
hold life lightly, and for the smallest
sum will hire themselves out to do any
Icspvrate deed.
There are two Joss houses on Chatham
Smiarc. and even these are now unable
.o accommodate (he crowds of thorough
paced heathens that worship in them.
The Chinaman is just as fond of his
-nub nosed gods as before lie breathed
the air of Christian New York. There
is now a project under way to build in
Chatham Square a new Joss house that
will surpass anything of the kind in the
country. Wo Kee and other wealthy
I'hinamen are behind it, and it is certain
to be a success. It will not be built,
However, until next year.
The Chinese of New York are careful
to give respectable burial to their brethren
who die. They own plots in Greenwood,
Evergreens and New York Bay
Cemeteries. That in the latter cemetery
ic flip .ind cost &JS0. Several
mndred graves in all are to be seen in
these plots.
Chinatown has no printed newspaper
now. Several years ago "Wong C'hinn
Poo established the Chiiifse Anvrican,
but it died, and the experiment has not
been repeated. There is, however, a
newspaper of an original pattern. It has
no city editor, and the whole of Chinatown
is on its staff. Those ancient journalistic
che-tnuts, "Veritas," "Old Subscriber,"
and others whose chief ambition
is to bombard newspaper o!li<cs
with communications of all kinds, would
uluiire this newspaper, for its o I'.mm*
.re no less than about 12."> feet long, and
lire open to all.
At almost any time of day a group of
Chinamen may be >een standing arouuil
the t 'legraph pole in front of VVo Kee's
grocery store. That telegraph pole is
Chinatown's daily newspaper. It doesn't
circulate at all but the whole town reads
it. At intervals a solemn looking Chinaman
comes along and sticks a slip of paper
with cabalistic characters inscribed
upon it on the telegraph pole. These

The Kane of Engineers.
' Moonlight nights?they are the bane
)f railroad engineers," remarked a head
official of the Baltimore and Ohio luiilrond
to a Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
reportei. He is a gentleman who knows
nf ixnlrnflflinrr
"i would have thought that the trainiicn
would be glad to have moonlight
lights," interposed the writer.
v*'Xo, sir: all engineers dread moonight
nights; they try the nerves'of the
mgineers to the utmost. Engineers like to
uu on dark nights. On a moonlight
light the trouble with them is no trouble
it all?shadows. An engineer, looking
)ut from his engine, sees before him all
nanncr of shadows. He is sure that the
shadow across the track is a man, or a
oek. or some kind of an obstruction.
Eie doesn't know, and he is kept in a
stale of nervous excitement all the time.
Joing around curves, along hillsides,
nany curious shadows are outlined 011 the
:rack, and very often an engineer is so
worked up over a night's ride that he is
scarcely able to perform his duties. 1
Some years ago, when I was going over
:he main stem of the Baltimore and Ohio
;>ne night, there was a freight wreck
ihead of us. They were running freight
in convoys then, or as we now call
hem, iu sections. Our train was stopped
uid I went forward to see what was the
latnage. Jiving in a cut was aooui uie
worst freight wreck I have ever seen. I
rcrnt forward to see what the trouble
tvits. It was a moonlight night and when
t got forward I saw the engineer. lie
was shaking all over with excitement.
He was one of the oldest and best engineers
on the road and I was surprised
:o see him so nervous, as he escapcd unhurt.
44 'What is the trouble, Tom?' lacked
aim. I could see nothing wrong.
"'It was a rock,' replied Tom. 'I
was coming round the curve when I raw
it. It was a big one ?big cnongh to
smash a whole train. I reVtrsed the en
?ine to avoid a smash up, and the cars
?oming down the grade just piled up in
the shape you see them.'
"I looked around, but could see no
rock any where. The wreck was cleared
xway that night and there wasn't a sign
sf an obstruction near the locomotive.
We all were c urious to find out what had
caused the trouble. The next night a
railroad man went to the cut, and there
in the moonlight he saw a perfect image
3f a big rock lying across the trac k, lie
looked up on the hillside and there was
i big rock throwing its shadow clown on
the track that caused a wreck that cost
the company thousands of dollars. No,
sir; if an engineer wants things to suit
him, he doji't want moonlight by which
to run his train."
A Qneer Pardon Story.
Queer things happen in this pardon
business. Historian L. B. Proctor, author
of "Bench and Bar," and several
other standard works, was telling me the
r.tlw.r <l,,v ,.f i? nwnlinr nor/Inn nrw1*>r I
J " r ? ? J.... v.vr.. ~
Governor Seward, writes an Albany(N.Y.)
correspondent of the Buffalo Courier.
Mr. Proctor was a student in Governor
Seward's law office in Auburn, when
Judge Samuel Blatchford was a partner
of Seward. A man and his wife had
been convicted of a crime and both were
sent to State prison. lie was sent to
Auburn and she was serving a term in
Sing Sing. Sympathy hail been aroused
for the woman and a petition signed by
many influential names was presented to
Governor Seward for her pardon. After
mature consideration he decided to grant
it, and on his way to New York one day,
stopped at Sing Sing and delivered the
pardon papers himself?an unsual thing.
The woman's name was Frances, and her i
husband's name was Francis. She was!
handed the pardon and walked out. I
Seeing that the masculine form "Francis"' |
appeared in the pardon she took a train j
nt once for Auburn and presented the;
pardon to the "Warden, with the statement j
that she had been pardoned by Governor
Seward and been allowed to bring her !
husband's pardon in person. The 1
Warden looked at it. It called for the
release of the man,'and he was brought'
out, handed the pardon and allowed to
^ofrce. When Governor Seward found
out the mistake he thought it better to
?ay nothing about it, and the prisoner

Although the animals of Land and soa J

they have a certain marked resemblance
in their habits and customs, writes C. F.
Holder in Youth's Companion. Thus the
birds, from the robin to the eagle, present
a perfect gradation from forms of
mild aud gentle disposition to those of
tierce and predatory natures. Turning
to the ocean, we find that this is equally
true of the fishes.
The mullet is the robin, and the savage
shark the eagle, hawk, or vulture, j
So in all groups of animals the vario :s !
families are adapted for different paths
in life, aud some of the comparisons that j
may be drawn arc most interesting and
instructive.
Among the land animals, the dogs and
certain members of the cat tribe, as the j
hunting leopard, or cheetah, are famous
for their hunting proclivities; the wild;
dogs of Australia, especially, hunting in j
organized bands, and exhibiting marvel- !

service under instruction; and, by con- '
tinned training, it has attained a grade
of excellence if anything superior to that '
of the wild animals, whose wonderful .
instinct is alone the instigator of their i
actions. |
The peculiarity of these animals, as
has been suggested, is that they hunt in
packs; and, curiously enough, among
certain aquatic and marine forms we .
lind many similar cases. The true hounds :
of the ocean are the fishes well known on
the English coast as smooth hounds, '
while the species on our shores are called

tiivy utter u series of croaks.tliat is caiicil
brtrKin*^ by the fishermen.
The dog-fish are sm:.l sharks, from
two to three and a half feet iu length, i
extremely ferocious. Thcv travel in large
packs, exactly like the hounds of the
shore, and their numbers ;:nd their effect
upon the fisheries are, perhaps, little suspected
by those not familiar with them.
While these occan hounds are seen in j
vast hordes on our own shores, they are j
not to be compared with those that appear
suddenly and without warning in j
English waters, and a bay ten miles wide ,
has been observed almost completely
packed with dog-fish, representing unnumbered
millions.
The question of the food supply of such
a vast body of living creatures is a
serious one to the fishermen, as the edible
fish are either devoured or driven away
by them.
It was my good fortune, some years 1
ago, to witness the arrival of the dog
fish on the Maine coast. It was during j
the month of August. Every day the |
fishermen had beeu bringing in large '
catches of hake, cod, and haddock from
the grounds about ten miles off shore,
and the business was prosperous in the
extreme.
I well remember being out myself with
a crew, and with trawl and line catches
were made that tested to the utmost the
canacitv of the boats.
This was on Monday. Tuesday evening
I strolled down to the little idet to
watch the boats come in. One by one
the boats under full sail glided in, not so
low down as usual. Investigation showed
that they were empty. In answer to my
inquiry, the reply was: "Dog fish."
This meant that the sea-hounds were
on the scent, and had come in from the
unknown region where they spent the
winter, and that the fishing was over for j
the time being. Not a single edible fish j
was brought in, and the loss of hundreds I
of dollars was entailed upon the fishermen
through hooks bitten off by the feferocious
creatures that had charged upon
the lines, some of which were a mile long,
and bore perhaps one thousand hooks,
and which they had severed as though
the lines had been thread.
It was a gloomy outlook for the fishermen,
and the next day a complete change
of outfit was made. Wire was above par 1
fur ganging hooks; the village church,
stove was rendered useless, as some one !
borrowed the wire that supported the
pipe, and two days later the dogs had
"set in," as an old Plainer expressed it,
all the fishermen were dog-fishing.
The entire bay was alive with the
savage hounds, that bit at every available
object. As soon as a line was dropped
over, it was seized, and with a jerk the ;
croaking, barking dog-fish was swung
into the boat.
I have often held by the line a twelve
or*thirtcen-foot man-eater in the South
while it was towing my boat, and seen
over the side half-a-dozen others following
it along as if waiting for the moment
when their comrade in the toils should,
by a sudden turn, land me in their midst;
but I think I never experienced the same
disagreeable sensation as looking down
into the clear water oft the Maine coast
and watching these hounds, so active and
ready to rush at the first object that fell
over.
They were desperate with hunger: a
fact which I proved by opening a huge
number, in no ca<e finding anything in
their stomachs. They hung about the
I'rtntfi lxif nf aoi?p on/1 enmn r\ f 4 ! * t\
uuaio, uib ai uat^ tmvt ouuit ui uiv
sails that had been dragged overboard
were rent and torn by their sharp teeth,
and such tvere their numbers that the
men had but to stand in the boats and
harpoon them as they appeared.
For weeks the dories came and loaded
to the water's edge with these scavengers.
Tin; livers were sold at a cent
apiece to be tried out into oil, while the
farmers oame from far and near and carried
off the bodies to use as dressing for
the soil.
Farther up the coast large buildings
can be seen bearing the sign, "Dog-ffsh
bought and sold," or more commonly,
"Dog-fish factory." There are firm? who
encourage the capture of the dog-fish,
buy them by the thousand, and convert
them into yuano.
The ferocity of these gigantic packs of
hounds has been shown on many an
occasion. Men have been seized by
them, and I have been told authentic
details of such attacks that exceed in
horror any tales of the man-eater shark.
Nearly all the black-headfid pins in the
market are made from needles which arc
broken in the factories in testing the

their remarkable sharpness as compared
with the ordinary white pins sold
in the market. This is the explanation
?they are old needles.

month of bloomitig, and it can be found
growing in secludcd spots in the moun- cn
tains, where the snow falls deepest in the rr
winter, and where the tall grass grows
thickly and casts an unbroken sliadc. ne
The plant itself is from four to ten inches ^
in height, and is of a bright scarlet color, sc
including leaves and flowers, although ,lr
the stem is pink and white. The flowers
are attached close to the stem, and the cr
leaves curl upward and partially hide
the flowers from view, the whole being
in the form of a cone. The leaves have
a delicate frost-like edge, which makes
them extremely beautiful. Every visitor

known to botanists, as they are neither

The exploit of ths Florida fisherman

nown as the silver fish, with rod and
el, has been excelled by a young lad of
andsborough named Germain, who,
ith .1 common fishing pole, a five-cent"
nc, and an ordinary trout hook, landed
300-pound tarpon at this place on the
ill. Germain was fishing for mackerel
i the canning factory wharf, when his
tit went under with a jerk. It seemed
> like a mackerel bite that lie essayed to
nd his game in mackerel style. The restance
offered and the immediate apea
ranee of the silver-coated monster,
ho broke the water and threw himself
ito the air only to dive back to the
eep, showed that a tarpon was hooked,
he lad held on to the pole like grim
eath and yelled. Messrs. Willie Hayarc],
a keen sportsman, Thad Lyons,
[i expert fisherman, and Jack Ciaig, anther
expert, being on hand, relieved the
d at intervals, and the fish was skillilly
played until, exhausted, it laypantig
on its side by the pier po<t.s. Three
irusts of the harpoon glnnced off. The
iirth transfixed him. Its jumps meanine
had been immense. It threw itself
om the water and turned with thatpeiliar
wriggle which, it is said, throws
ic hook frjm the jaws, but every effort
made to get a straight tension on tlie
tie was met by the man at the end of
ic pole, and, almost lifeless, the grand
ime lay by the posts of the pier. To
t the monster on the pier was the next i
ncstion. As he lay supinely on his side
ick Craig 6klnned down one of the
ists and inserted a big hook in his gills,
his movement of Craig's resulted in a \
ifaliatory movement on the part of the I
ill, who gave what old whalers have deribed
as the death flurry, and Craig was i
i uck on the head by the end of the fish's j
il, which for a moment stunned him.
pon his recovery the parties pulled the
rand catch upon the pier. Its weight
as in the neighborhood of 300 pounds.
