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.

THE WITCH OF PRAGUE.
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

Gray, of the Liberty. Mr. McCain, of the

'
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
