SATURDAY, ArHtt 50, 1SJ0.
Doyle, tho reputed publisher anil editor of
tho "Patknt" organ ut Maiich Chunk, for
the p ist week or two has been casting tidlum,
not only upon Mr. T. D. Clauss in his mis
fortunes, but assorted in connection there
with that Mr. Clauu was n lendtiig member
of the Tjuthcran church for what object wo
leave lilih to explain turns round last week
and charges us with being a "rjng organ,"
nnd with trying to "bring tho Lutheran
church into politic." There was no paper
in the county to mention any church in this
connection until Boyle In li is issue of tho
4th instant published the fallowing:
"Mr. Clnuss has always been regarded as
ft man of tho strictest probity ; has king been
ono of tho most prominent business men of
Lehightou, and is a leading member of tho
Lutheran church."
We called attention to this, and asked
Mr. Boyio what tho fact of Mr. Clauss' be
longing to tho Lutheran church had to
du witli his failure. To which that very
ass-tutc and courteous gcntlemanl) responded
in tho following wilfully and deliberately
lying paragraph i
"The Lehightou ring organ is not only
defending the defaulting County Treasurer,
but it is trying its best to bring! lie Lutheran
church of that borough into politics. This
is a very dlrly pioco of business. If there Is
anything that should be sacred from the
ciinininiiuting touch of artistic liars like
It-trriugtnn, it is tho Church of Ood. We
an; surprised nt Mr. Mnrtlilincr'a ulluwing
h s columns to bo so used."
In tho first place, this paper, the Cakbon
Advocaik, is not the organ of any party or
clique, nnd the Gazette man Is well aware of
that fact; ami, consequently, wo dot Lie
No. 1.
Kext, ho says wo arn trying our "best to
bring the Lutheran church of this borough
into politics." lie was the first In intioluce
tho Lutheran church into this matter, as
tho extract above quoted fully proves, but
finding that ho had placed himself into an
o lions position by his slur at the Lutheran
church in his first article, he turns around
and in order to try to place himself right,
oc.uses us of trying to biiug the church into
politics. Ills own pjper proves this to be
Lie No. 2.
"This is n very dity piece of business,"
says Boyle; and that is tiue, nnd shows that
he is, or ought to be, ashamed of himself
for condemning a felluwnnn in misfortune
for being a Democrat ami a "leading member
of the Lutheran church." Wo defy the
editor of the Gazette to point to a solitary
case where wo have referred to a man's noli
tics or icligion when lie has proven recreant
or unfortunate in his financial allairs. Ljt
him look at tho case of A. G. Dollcninaycn
who disappeared fiom here in September'
1377 i in that case (a morellagrant case than
(his one), we neither mentioned his polities
or tho church he attended. Wo deemed
it uuimpoitant. Wo gavo tho tueta then a
we havo in tho Clauss matter. If Mr.
Boyle wishes to do justice, in the Dollen
meyer uUUir, ho can look around, and per-
ha;n he may iu that case be able to "smell
a mouse."
In speaking of nn employee, who assists in
the mechanical depaitment of the Adviicatk
and when occasion requires, as local re
porter, Mr. Boyle calls him an "aitistic
liar." What Ilaninglou has to do Willi
the caso we lire at a loss to know. We hold
OUrSClf IlloOP ro8."ll.l f, Wliul afiuo3 1
our columns, and when Mr. Boyle insinu
ates or osserls otherwise, then we fling back
in Ins teeth the same cpilhrt he thiows at
Harrington "artistic liar 1"
When a member of any political party
or religious sect or church does that which
is net right and projier in tho tight of the
jieoiile, and the editor of a newspaper tries
to make capital out of it for his own party or
church by folding that partyor church up
to public odium and contempt, then that
editor can with propiieity writo himself
down "an assl"
Wu now drop this subject, and leave Mr.
Boyle to wallow iu his own mire.

To the Editor oftho Oahdon Advocate:
Deab Sib, Supposing your numerous
readers, who havo not been iu China, might
ba interested, I venturo to intrudo on your
space witli n feiv remarks on
SAMPAN LIFE IN FOO CHOW.
To tho majority of readers tho name sam
pan sounds llko Greek, perhaps ; but it Is In
reality pidgin English, and Is a corruption,
by tbo foreigner, of tho Chlncso word Soong-
yanor boat (ship's child.) It has been esti
mated by competent persons that there aro at
least 10,000 of these sampans now floating up
on tho Mln river, In tho vicinity ol tho city of
Foo Chow; anl to a person unacquainted
with tho manners and customs of tho boat
people of China, It Is n matter of much curl
oslty how they mnnago to obtain food nnd
olothlng nnd money, without over loavlng
their little floating homes.
An ordinary tampan Is about twenty-eight
feet long, and tlx feet broad at the broadest
part. They aro round-bottomed and aro so
built that they draw but llttlo water, yet can
carry a heavy load, say about one ton'wclght,
If necessary.
'Iho plunks are of China I'lnc sewed togeth
er with long nrought-l roll nails, and tho scams
and nail-holts rilled In with whlto putty or
chuncm. They are novcr painted but aro kept
beautifully clean, by constant scrubbing. The
timbers are of camphor-wood, and form par
titions In the boat, so that It Is In sepnrato
compaitments ; which, being rendered water
tight by tho wonderful chunam, effectually
prevents tho foundering oftho sampan lu caso
or collision or danger from running under the
"Chow-Chow ater," or bieakirs In tho tide
Hps. There aro four oars or "culocs," used In tho
s.iino manner ns in tho Venetian gondola, i. e.
tho operator stands and shoves tho oar for
ward. A large steering-oar nearly as long as
the boat, working on a largo wooden pin, pro-
Jccts from tho stern, and causes the motions
ot tho sampan to bo under the most perfect
control so that tt can be turned round, com-
plctoly. In Its own length, or lorccd to hold up
In the teeth of tho strongest breeze as if the
boat had a wheel, (which it has not).
A mat of toinboo and gratscovcrs tho sleep
ing apartments, arching over tho boat In such
a manner that ouo can stand qulto upright on
tho floor of tho sampan without touching tho
celling of the mat.
The mast Is of bamboo, and Is so arranged
as to bo taken down and slung alongsldo the
boat In a moment.
Tho sails aro of coarso Chlncso cloth, some
what ukln to drilling, but colored brown or
dark blue, according to tho CJprlco of tho
owner.
Tho cooking Is done In a little earthen stovo
In tho stern compartment and Is Invariably
attended to by the women, usually tho oldest
one In tho ramlly. The focd consists princi
pally of rice, of courso i but there aro many
llttlo delicacies (?) which aro obtainable for
a Tow "cash," which help to rnako the pcoplo
qulto satisfied with their faro.
Tho river abounds with a great variety of
fish, and as Iheso aro easily captured, there
Is always a chanco for a fresh mess In case tho
rice runs short.
Tho variety or uses to which the sampans
are put, aud the multitudes oftrades In which
they are employed, causes a marked dllfor-
enco In their occupants, so that an expericne
ed cyo can tell a tlsh-man from a tca-uiau,and
a passenger-man from a stone-man, &e., by
lit a,,anrat,a r tliolr olotl.lnff Ana skill t
the flrh.inan having black skin nnd no cloth
ing, while tho tea-man Is fair nnd has good
clothes. Tho passenger-man wears a straw
hat and a pair or English pantaloon", while
the stone-man has a ragged and dirty breach
clout but no shoulder covering.
I shall describo only thoso varieties or sam
pans and sampan people, thathavecomo from
day to day under my Inline, Unto notice.
To begin with my own housc-sampan Tho
family consists of Cheo Ming and his wile,
Jurco and his wire, (Cheo Ming nnd Jurco nro
half brothers) nnd the mother of tbo two men,
"Old Mrs. Cheo Ming" as I call her.
These flvo people, (Oh ! I forgot llttlo Hoo
Dealt, tho daugher.of Cheo Ming), these six
iersons live in a sampan by day nnd by night,
wcro born In sampans, nnd will dlo In sam
pans, and yet they aro happy.
Thoy awake at earliest dawn of light and
proceed to cat, alter which they make up a
doubtful species of toilet, and If It is a holiday,
they wash themselves.
Stranga to say, that though their boats are
very models of neatness and absolute purity
externally, the pcoplo aro rilthy and aro apt
to leave rcifiJfnd upon unwary travellers In
their floating domiciles.
Eating Is persisted in for at least four times
during daylight and twlco more licforo retir
ing, with snatches of sleep between, so you
can't really say that they keep regular hours.
1 pay this sampan man of mine fifteen ($15)
Mexican dollars per calendar month, nnd he
dovotcs his cntlro services to mo and my busi
ness. If a steamer comes up, ho is supposed
to notify me, and to havo his sampan ready
to take uie ofT to her, to get the malls, (usual
ly opened on board),
II I want to visit a Trlcnd on the other side
ol tho river, nt nluht, he must always be on
hand, an 1 ir I have to go 12 miles up the river
to Foo-Chow-foo, or 16 miles down tbo river
to Sharp I'enk, at any time of night or day
In any weather, they havo to boon hand. This
family Is a sample of many others, employed
by the mouth In foreign hongs.
Another class of sampans are those employ
ed cntlrely.by the Chinese Junks, to aid them
In their slow and toilsome passages up and
down the Mln lilvcr. Tncy are smaller, and
poorer paid than any other, and havo harder
work and longer hours. Such dirt and filth
and disease ns is exhibited by tho occupants
of this class of sauipnn, I never have seen
equalled In nny part of tho world, uud you
know I havo travelled lar.
The families are generally composed oftho
most aged aud infirm people, and the young
est, tiniest and weakest of little brats of both
sexes. The people of middle age aro prubab.
ly employed in their own sampans In the tea
districts, leaving their aged parents to subsist
ujKjn tho mlscrablo pittance given them by
the Junk-men, and their swarms of little ones
dejendcnt on the old folks lor food. T4ieduty
of tin so sampans Is to pull tho head of the
Junk nrouud, while (he Is "shivering In the
wind" prcAratory to tacking i as tho river Is
so narrow that thejunks must turn short or
else run ashore.
There are about 12 or II sampans to each
Junk, while In the river, and they are paid
Ine.lfyou can, n family of six or eight per
sons, subsisting, or rather existing on such a
ttlitcnd as 20 cents er day 1 1 1
Its bard scratching for a common coolie
living on shore, to keep soul and body togeth.
on $1 a month lut the rate falls far below that
where six nersons have to live on iho nrocecrii
ofoccasional lobs, which vield ihom oniveo
deck), with as uiueluany Void and benignity
of demeaner as you ever observed among the
famous Market Street Station haek-maalpu-
biters. Ouly In these easea there's no "Per-
Hoc" tosee to them, ao4 the devils escape up
country, among theret unrecognized, and
slivre their booty many timet with much
quarrelling and blood-shed only to roturn
blandly to their honest (t) and delightful oc
cupations flushed with the (polls of former
victories.
Slnee the establishment of tho Foo Chow
Arsenal under French Naval Instruction In
1170, the sampan people havo bece me more
civilised, and many of them are to be found
about the anchorage who converso with
much greater fluency In the most clegantot
all languages, than many of our graduates
from French classes,
A man who, six years ago was only a sain.
pan-mnn Is now holding a position ns Navigat
ing Officer of a 6 gun vessel In tho Chinese
Navy, and not only does he understand the
French language, but he (peaks, reads and
writes English with singular facility, nnd is a
very liberal and Intelligent man, considering
he Is a heathen. But snob advances as these
are very rare, and such progressive brains as
I have mentioned nro seldom found In the Cc
lestlsl Empire, Tho majority of sampan peo.
pie aro entirely Ignorant of their written lan,
guago, and can scarcely speak their own ver
nacular with fluency, except It bo profanity,
at which they are remarkably expert.
The women In nil classes of sampans are at
tired In the usual costume of wide pantaloons
and longjnekets. Theydonotcompressthelr
feet, though they have pedal extremities which
aro the envy of our whlto lady residents, be
lng so small that a ehlldsshoe would fit them,
and they aro perfectly shaped.
These rcoplo never wear head covorlng, ex
ccpt In violent rains, when they have a largo
bamboo hat, with peaked top, such as you
have always seen on tho lea chest pictures In
the tea stores. For hours at n time they will
stand In tho burning sun with no covering for
their shaven polls, nnd yet they seem to cx
pcrlcnco no Inconvenience. I am convinced
that tho opacity of their Imaginations Is caus
ed partly by the life of continual exposure to
the Inclemency of tho weather which these
poor people aro compelled to lead.
There aro many other varieties oftampans
which I have never seen, which are entirely
employed In the interior oftho Mln District
among the rapids of Hits magnificent river,
nnd which I therefore only mention
Ono gcnoral characteristic prevails among
tho entire class of sampan people of all grades,
viz: a tendency to approprlato any nrtlclc
which they think they can lift nnd remove
without being observed
In short they nro Inveterate and Incorrigible
thieves, and will steal anything from a red-hot
stovo to a plcco of lee, and from a needle to an
anchor.
