THE .PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. SUNDAY, JANTJABY 11, 1891. II X Jr. ' GDSTOMS IN CHINA. An Interesting Letter From a Mis sionary in the Orient. STOEI OP THE CITY OP TUKGCHOW Instances of the Dabit Chinamen Have of Loinj Things Backward. WOKEN EATE A UAUD TIME OP IT The followins letter comes to The Dis patch from Mr. William O. Eltericb, a missionary, under date of Tungchow, near Ctieeloo, China, November 1, 1890. It will inter -t everybody, particularly Mr. El tericb' many friends: As we have been living almost a year in Tungehv.vl imagine I have picked np some things that will interest your readers. First let me tell you about this place. A Chinese province is divided into ten fus (counties) and each fu usually into ten hiens (districts). Tungchow lies in Pnngbai Hien. The word Fun;hai denotes a plant that grows among the wheat, the leaves of which are good to eat; they also form the name of a species of rush. According to a Buddhist labie, the abode of the gods and saints is a mountain on an island iu the Eastern Sea and both the island and mountain are called Punghai. The Emperor "V7u Ti, of the Hau dynasty, (B. C. 135-85), traveled about in the hope of reaching this abode of the blessed. Among other places, be visited this place, and from a point one li (one-third mile) north of the present Hien Yamen (i. e.. Dis trict Court) he made his observations to dis cover the happy island among the group to the north of us. To commemorate his visit he ordered that a wall should be built around the town, and that the name should henceforth be called Punghai the name probably only applying to the city. This name it appears to have retained about 1,400 years. "When Hung "Wu (founder of the Ming dynasty, A. D. 1377), organized the present system of fus and hiens, this hien took the name of Punghai, and the town was called Tungchowfuchng the city of the fu of Tungchow, which names they now bear. Its area is 1,131 square miles. Some time before 1800 B. C. a ruler named Chin Shing held sway here. Products of the Soil. Grain and vegetables are the chief produc tions. Among grains inigh be mentioned wheat, corn, millet, buckwheat, etc, kao hang (i. c, "high grain," a species ot sorghum). Among vegetables are prin cipally sweet potatoes, cabbage, beans, yams, spinach, egg plants, and many others ot which I do not know the name. I forgot to mention various kinds of onions, leeks, etc., of which the Chinese are very fond, and with which they become thoroughly saturated. Among lruits might be men tioned (judging from what we have at our table) cherries, small but good; apricots, very good; nectarines, plums, small apples, pears, insipid; grapes, melons, pome granates and persimmons (very lar?e and delicious), etc In January, '90, the population was as follows: Tnehien, 37.CS0 families, or 258, 208 persons, witn excess of 24,248 males; Tungchow City, 32.251; Tuncchow City and "Water City and suburbs. 40.219. Tnnirehow is really composed of two cities the citv proper, and the Water City,, separated from it by a small stream. though each is inclosed by a separate wall. The wall of the city proper was nrst Duilt probably about 100 B. C. It is described as three miles long, 35 leet high originally, but afterward raised 25 inches. It has cow four great gates the east gate called TVwun Seng, the "birth of spring;" the south gate, Chaotien, "looking toward heaven;" the west gate, -Xingan, "welcome mercy i. e. imperial favor;" the north gate, Chinhai, i. e. to go to the sea. The wall has 4 towers, 3 watergales and 28 buttresses. The wall of the "Water City is about 1 mile lonir, 35 feet high and 11 feet wide. It has one" gate on the south called Chingang, i. e., 'Prevail. At the north end is a gateway allowing jumps to pass into the "Little Sea," as the harbor within the wall is called. This gateway was formerly furnished with an iron sliding gate, defending the passage from piratical intrusion, and with a bridge across it called: IienK.'ao,' i. e., 'Heaven's Bridge" . Its Military Importance. In former limes when pirates ravaged the coast, this was of considerable importance as a military post. In the Water City, on various islands and at different points along the shore, camps iere formed. In 1592, A. D., when the Coreans came to ravage the coast, great preparations were made, and soldiers brought here from all quarters; and again when the Japanese repeatedly pillaged the province in 1388, 1500 nnd 1522. Time and again rebellion has broken out and tried the courage of the people and military here. The people oi this town are to be praised in that irom the initiation of the literary examinations 1,250 years ago, the schools have been well attended, so that there is a pretty general diffusion of the knowledge ot letters. For students competing for the first decree of "Shin Tsai," the IC'ao Yuen or T'sa Yuen (examination hall) is thrown open twice in three years. Of the whole number that compete, 20 are allowed to at tain the honor. Just at present one of these examinations is in session, and there are 7,000 to S.000 students in the city. Many who attain the first degree rest satisfied with it, for it brings with it various immunities which render them superior to the common peopte, such as exemption fiom ignominious punishment in the courts, as in China, knowledge is supposed to be able to secure rectitude. They are permitted to hold office and la ay also assist at the stated worship or idolizing of Confacius in the K'ung Tsz Miao, or Temple of Confucius. Sixty Largo Temples. The whole number of temples in the city and suburbs to a distance of three miles, in cluding street shrines, is 82, 60 of which are large temples. The Tavuist are the favor ite and most numerous, showing that Bud dhism is in the decline here. Many of the Buddhist temples are nothing but ruins, and rapidly going to destruction. It is a for lorn sight to see the old dilapidated -idols with the roofs above them falling'inex posing them to the weather. Many of these idols are of mud, and often are minus a pose or hand or arm or head. They make quite a comic appearance Our own house, or, rather, place, is called Tung Ta Tze i. e., the Great East Temple, whica it former ly was, and in the building back oi our yard the old temple building there are large gilded images of Buddha, looking benignly about them. The college building was for merly a Buddhist temple of the Goddess of Mercy, the idols of which the missionaries buried at the foot of a tree in the yard. The temple of the god 'of wealth is one of the favorite temples indicating the char acter of the people who have for their chief aim gain, and care but little for religion, and thus differ from the people iu the west ern part of the province, many of whom are very religious, forming themselves into religious societies. This indifference to re ligion makes missionary work very difficult here and it meets with but little success. Character of the People. The Caucasian has been compared to an iron ball tough, hard, strong, carrying everything before him, making an impres sion without being impressed. The negro has been compared to a ball of wax soft and impressive, easily moulded into any desired shape. The Chinaman is like a piece of rubber tough and elastic, capable of being impressed, but immediately return ing to its former shape as soon as the force is removed. Again the Caucasian hps been likened to the strong and" sturdy oak; the negro to the dependent ana clinging vine; the Chinaman to the tongh and elastic bamboo. Perhaps nothing characterizes a Chlna raan more, however, than the i.-t tVi.t h u J ustthe opposite of at. He docs everything the opposite way from us. He twists his thread and sews the opposite way. The men wear stockings the women socks; the men usually ride sideways, the women astride. The leit instead of the right is the place of honor. Iu mounting a horse the Chinaman usually puts his heel in the stirrup first, then the toes. The men walk slow to show their dignity and wealth. The names are reversed they say Smith John, not John Smith. They write from top to bottom in rows and always from right to left. The front of their book is our back. Their ideas are opposite. They use the negatives' ex travagantly. For instance, ihev say, a good man is a not bad man. for "come into the house" they say, "house in come," etc love to Be in Debt. The Chinaman is only happv when he is in debt, which he usually is. 'When a rela tive dies, instead of being filled with sor row, he will tell you about it with laughing face. They wear white as the color of mourning, while we wear black. Parents do the courting, not the children: in fact, while individualism is 'a strong trait in our race, "famiiyism," as it might be called, is the strong trait of the Chinaman. Every thing revolves around the family, all the earnings go to the family use, etc When a man marries, his wild becomes the drudge of his parents; indeed, most parents get wives for their sons in order to have some body to work for them, and that, notwith standing the fact that the sons may be very young yet A missionary told me he met a boy one day about 14 years old, bitterly crying, and he asked him what was the matter. He replied that he was to be mar ried. The Chinaman saws toward 'himself; he speaks of the compass as pointing to the south, not north; he says eastsouth, etc, in stead of southeast. Perhaps one of his chief traits is to gamble The Chinese are invet erate gamblers, beginning in boyhood. They don't have dog fights or horse races, but cricket fights. They get two crickets and put them into a bowl, then taking a long hair they tickle ,their antencte, and the one thinking it is the other, pitches into him, and they fight together until one or the other or both succumb, while the spectators freely bet on their chances. Very Like Some Other People. The Chinese are also creat liars and cheats. They charge always three or five prices and even your Christian cook think it (is not wrong to make a little on you by squeezing you on what he buys for you. when you tell a shopkeeper his price is too much he invariably replies, "that he cannot lie" In my study of the language thus far I have been struck with the fact that it is unusually rich iu words denoting de ception or stealing of any kind. By the way, this.leads me to mention that almost all the words denoting anything evil or im moral have the 'character' for woman in them indicating that the Chinaman also thinks that woman is the bottom of all evil. We have not yet adopted native dress, "as we shall in the interior, for foreigners have been here so many years that the natives are accustomed to us. We have a cook called Sun I Tsung, whom we pay $4 a month; a table boy, who, besides waiting on the table, washes and irons, and for the present he re-' ceives S3 a month, and a woman who makes the beds, sweeps, sews and does general housework, who gets $2 50 a month. This is in Mexican dollars, which are worth less than United States dollars. For recreation I go out frequently in the afternoons, going hunting, or visiting some of the other missionaries. Thursday even ing we have English prayer meeting at one of the houses of the missionaries; on Sunday likewise English preaching service first and then Chinese service, and in the afternoon Sunday school. Most of our food can be obtained here, bat much of it has to he im ported or bought at Chefoo, such as flour (the native flour here is not very good), kerosene oil, canned goods, etc This makes living somewhat expensive IN THE COUNTY COURTS. Deputy Coroner Berry I Anxious About His Fees, and Asks the Judge to Help Him Oat Sentence Day In the Criminal Court. Attorneys W. D. Moore and T. M. McFar land, counsel for Deputy Coroner Berry, yes terday filed a petition for a mandamus on County Controller Grier to compel him to pay the fees for holdtng an inquest. The petition states that Berry, by notice of a deputization made by the Coroner, held an inquest in the case of John Rikalgen, who was killed at McKeesport last Monday. Mr. Berry presented his claim for SU fees, bnt the Controller ref used to grant him a warrant. He also refused to pay the jurors in the case. Judge Slagle issued a rnie on the Controller to show cause v$)ry the mandamus should not be issued. Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock was fixed for a hearing. Controller Grier still adheres to his position. He has also refused to honor warrants present ed by Aldermau King and 'Squire Drennan for fees for inquests held. T0-M0BE0W HT THE C0TJBTS.

WITH THE TEACHERS Special Treat at the Academy Meet ing Yesterday Afternoon. KEW CENTfiAL B0AED MEMBERS. The Scarcity of Natural Gas Has Been Causing Trouble Lately. EECENT EKTERTAINHEKTS BI PDPILS At the special meeting of the Teachers' Academy held yesterday afternoon all business transactions were postponed till the next regular meeting, and the members were there for entertainment. In the ab sence of the Vice President, J. M. Logan, Prof. J. K. Bane acted as Chairman. A class of 30 pupils, in charge of Miss Galla gher, of the Grant School, rendered "farther On" and "Home, Sweet Home" in a well trained and pleasing man ner. Master Oscar Badin, also of the Grant School, gave an exhibition of unusual talent in his violin solo of the variations ot "Home, Sweet Home" Prof. C. A. Riddle, of the Minersvillc School, then read a paper on "American Literature" The age of American litera ture he considers about 80 years, while that of England is over 00 years old. Ameri can literature he said mast stand on its own ground, making no claim on the score of youth and other disadvantages. German and French jqurnalists consider Americans the best story writers. A distinguishing char acteristic in American literature is humor, and Mark Twain, Artemus Ward and Bret Harte are examples of this. In regard to novel writing, he told how American writers tried to make their productions entertain ing. As lor Robert Elsmere, he said its success was due to the advertisement the church people gave it. Among noted Southern writers he men tioned Charles Egbert Craddock, and he added that the South is furnishing more magazine writers than any other section. He said also the picturesque field of Amer ican fiction is to-day in the South. Maga zine writing is at present the crucible of criticism. In concinsion, he thought that literature iu .n-uienca is assuming its uisunctive ureas made after the nature of its people, and that eventually this country's productions will compare well with those of other nations. At the next meeting Hepburn Johns, of The Dispatch, will address- the mem bers. There are six members of the Central Board whose terms' expire this year and two vacancies to be tilled owing to deaths. The-. elections to return the old members or elect new ones have been occurring for the past two weeks, and the list is now nearly com plete. Dr. Swentzel has been elected to be the representative of the north district in place of Dr. Berger; Mr. Hugh Adams, of the Forbes, has been re-elected; also Silas Gray, of the Liberty. Mr. McCain, of the Morse, and Blaze, of the Humboldt; Mr. Spinneyweather will represent the -St. Clair district instead of Mr. Carr; Mr. E. Sheehan, the Riverside, as Mr. Buckley has removed from the ward; Mr. Laughlin, the Mononga hela, vice Mr. Kernan, deceased, and Mr. John McEIroy, the South, vice Dr. Benham, deceased. The Franklin, Minersville and Allen have not yet elected. In the Spring field district it is a tie vote between Dr. Mc Cready and Mr. Shears. ' The Forbes High School class forgot the hard study, which is the portion of every High School class, for the past four months, when they assembled at the residence of Miss McKinley, of Allegheny, the assistant principal of the Forbes School, in response to ner invitation to celebrate the successful passing of all their candidates for High School. After singing and recitations, a dainty lunch was served. Directors Adams, Martin, Campbell and Sitzler were present. In addition to the election of a teacher to suceeed Miss Seese, who was married Christ mas, the Allen School Board at its meeting last night prepared a circular to be pre sented to the people of the ward asking their consent to increasing the assessment 1 'mill to erect the new school building necessary, and explaining the kind of a structure they propose to erect and giv ing some other information. One hundred and-fifty dolls, all dressed in their best, were the cynosure of all eyes in Room No. 1, at the O'Hara School, last Fri day afternoon. They were presided over by Miss S. Rosewell, It was thelannual dolls' reception day, when the pupils of the other rooms and visitors are invited to see the dis play of the dollies. The Friday reception was unusually well enjoyed. That much talked-of article, natural gas, was very irregular in its supply to a cum ber of the schools the past week and "doubling up" rooms, dismissing early and having no ventilation to keep- a reason able temperature were the consequences. The Humboldt School intends to return to the use of coal. At the Birmingham School next Thurs day evening the building will be thrown open for the people of the district to view the furniture placed in the building at the beginning of the fall term. Later the pupils will give an entertainment in the hall. The Division Institute for the teachers of Step I, which was to take place next Satur day, is postponed till the 21th inst., owing to the illness of Miss Fundenberg's mother.

The teachers are discussing a new benefit society which some of them have joined. Miss Cora Marshal has been elected a teacher in the Washington schools. Special Auction Sale of Diamonds.
