that in his presence the bravest rice-
eater alnong these almond-eyed navvies
quailed and trembled. He is one of the
type of border semi-civilisation, six feet
four inches in height, with a frame like
a Hercules and a face on whiph the lines
of firmness, decision and command are
sharply ent He has very white and
even teeth and shows them often, fbr he
smiles frequently. An admirer of his re
marked to me: “When Martin’s nose
comps down to meet his lip, and his lip
^oes tip to meet his nose, andthose teeth
of his glisten and shine, why look out.
He means business.” I was waiting for
the accommodation train to leave the
“end of the track” when I formed his ac-'
quuintanee. lie itu* man of intelligence
and thoroughly informed on the subject
of Oliinese character peculiarities. Ho
speaks the language fluently and can de
cipher the hieroglyphics on a “washeo-
washee” bill at sight.
While we were talking, the foreman of
the track-laying gang came into the ear.
“Ah, Martin," he said, “I have been
looking for you. One of those-fellows
who deserted lust month has returned,
and tho interpreter says that he has in.
duct'd half the men to quit and go across
(he country to the Sunset Extension. He
is down among tny gang now',”
“He is, is he?” quulh Martin, and tho
peculiar falling down of nose and flying
up <>f lip disclosed his white teeth. “I’ll
fix him.” — L — — —r
Ho picked up a henVy lullet of wood
as he finished speaking, and invited uiO/
a
to go along and “see the fun.” I went.
The obnoxious Cliiunnnfn was in the
centre of an excited group of bis compa
triots, volubly discoursing on the supe
rior inducements held out to the laborers
on the other road. We wore close upon
him when one of the group caught sight
of Martin’s white teeth and uttered a
warning cry. The crowd scattered, and
dfJulltigf.^onijpirator turned to flee. Too
late,! Tho billet, of wood flowthrough
tho air, struck the deserter between the
shoulders, and he fi ll fiat in the dust.
Martin heut over him, stitt smiling, and
by way of resuscitation, kicked the pvos-
fiioiatt groaned and raised himself to a ’
sitting posture. Ho was ordered! to
stand up and did so with some diflleulty.

That fellow’s irony wss, incomparable.
All the sections are worked by Chi
nese laborers. At one of the section
houses where we stopped tho “ boss ”
came ont and chatted with Martin.
“Oh, by the way,” he said at length,
“that fellow who was ]|^—who died yes
terday is laying out there in the cat'
house.’ This now gang of mine ore from
Canton, and it’s agin’ their religion to
bury a Hong Kong man.”
“They bo hanged 1” answered Martin,*
“Cull’em up." ' '
~ The section boss did ns directed, and
the car was soon snrrourrtledjty pigtails.
Martin addressed tliem from the plat
form. One Celestial, who seCmcd to lie
the spokesman, replied. Martin promptly
knocked him down. He dealt ont per-,
suasivo kicks and cuffs to several others.
Before wo left, tho dead Chinaman from
Hong Kong was securely boxed, and as
wo passed around a curve, I saw his Can
ton friends begin to throw dirt over the
rude coffin. / - _ v
Myfrieml the brakeman, after wo be-
cime better acquainted, volunteered
some interesting information aliont
“Cup'n.” As it was mainly of a statisti
cal nature, X am unable to give his re
marks verbatim. He seemed to hold the
subduer qf tho Chinese in high esteem,
and gave minute data respecting the
number of Celestials bp had “froukod,”

AH IRON DWELLIIfG-HOUSE.’ Dickens and the “Herald” Reporter.
George Alfred Townsend writes to the
Cincinnati Enquirer: I will tell a story
that Mr, O ’good, the Boston .publisher,,
gave me diii iyg (he wot k. He said whon
Mr. Dickons wanted to come to read ir^
America, a few, years before his death, he
was very, sensitive about the reception he
would, have after his lampooning the
country in 1842. So he sent his agent,
Dr. Dolby, abend, who called on Fields
& Osgood and asked them to take the
agent to the newspaper-offices in Boston
and New York. Among other places he
was carried To the office of Jumesj G.
Bchuett, - the founder of the Herald.
The old man listened to tho questions
Dr. Dolby put. When ho was asked if
Dickens’s comments on America long ago
would injure his reception, Bennett said:
“No; tho American people are great-
enough to overlook the errors or impu
dence of a young man who meant to sell
his wares about us in England.” After
Dolby got through, howeyer, old Beu-
nett "remarked: “Who is this Dickens
anyway ? He is nothing but a reporter.
I have”got four or five men in my office
wlip are better reporters than Dickens. ”
The old man was perfectly serious about
if, too."
