grain of silver pays them for the toil; a stalk of maize rewards them for the search. They eat dead game, which Indians will not touch. As waiters, woodmen, navvies, miners, laundresses, they drive off every labourer, whether male or female, whether White or Black. At Elko all the races on this continent meet; Red men, Black men, White men, Yellow men; not many Red, and fewer Black; yet some of each. The Whites are mostly male, tile Chinese male and female. Elko is the capital of Elko County, and a thousand souls are said to huddle in and out among the railway blocks. A State University is rising in the neighbourhood, based on the two great principles-first, that tuition is to be free, and second, that no one is to be excluded from the class-room on account of sex, race, or colour. This emancipated city in the mountains is spread in canvas and reared in plank, but five or six whisky-shops and faro-banks are being raised of brick. Yon dainty little sheds, with muslin blin

the heights above Salt Lake, we have a troop of Chinese waiters, dressed in short white smocks like girls, having smooth round faces like girls, and soft and nimble ways like girls. After passing Salt Lake we find these Asiatics increase in number. In and out, among the valleys at Cape Horn, Toano, Indian Creek, and Halleck, they are settling down in hut and ranch. We find them in Copper Canon and along the Palisades; we hear of them in the White Pine Country, in Mountain District, at Tuscarora, Cornu-opeia, and Eureka. They go anywhere, do anything. One of the race comes up to me at Elko with a bit of paper in his hand, on which is written Lee Wang, antelope ranch, White Pine country. Lee Wang cannot speak a word of English, yet he is going up alone into the mining districts of Nevada, to serve an unknown master, who may treat him as a dog. Chinese can live where other men, even Utes and Shohones, die. It is enough for them to scrape abandoned mines and glean exhausted fields

From the senior partner, who is going to San Francisco with a view to business, we learn that Ralston's busy b conceived the idea of opening a great watch factory in San Francisco, and doing the watch trade on a scale not yet attemptede able to make a watch. A company has been formed in San Francisco, with Cornell as president, Ralston as treasurer, and Cis Sunday energies to labour in the slums and alleys of San Francisco.

The climate of San Francisco, Cornell explains to me, is suitable for the watch trade voice of a physician, who has lived for many years in San Francisco, and has watched the coming of our Yellow brethren from? They say, they are going to set up a new industry in San Francisco. But for whom? Not for Americans, but for Asiatics.

over from Hong Kong, of whom five or six hundred will find lucrative employment on our shores! As we ascend the mountains of Wyoming, we begin to meet our Yellow brother on the track; here skipping nimbly as a waiter, there drudging heavily as a hedger and ditcher; but in every place silent, docile, quick, and hardy. Sam shrinks from these mountain blasts and winter snows. Good wages tempt him to come up; but when the icy winds enter his soul, he prefers the squash and sugar-cane of South Carolina to the elk and antelope of Wyoming. Hi Lee can live in any climate and any country; in Bitter Creek, as well as in San Jose and Los Angeles; caring, it would seem, for neither heat nor cold, neither drought nor rain, neither good food nor bad, neither kindness nor unkindness, so that he can earn money and save money.

Chapter 19: our Yellow brother. Our first glimpse of this Yellow brother is in the market-place of Baltimore, the noisiest and dirtiest spot in the United States, excepting China Town in San Francisco, which is not regarded by Sanitary Boards as being in the United States. Our brother is two-fold: perhaps man and wife; perhaps only twins. Whether he is male and female who can say? The two parts of him are of one height, and wear the same round hat and blue frock.

The two parts of him are of one height, and wear the same round hat and blue frock. Each part of our Asiatic brother has the same smooth face, round chin, dark eyebrows, matted hair, snub nose, and placid look. Amid the din and squalor of that mart of fish and flesh, of fruit and greenstuffs, he moves about, himself unmoved, neither bold like a Yankee, nor restive like an Apache, nor awkward like a Negro, but severely stolid and observant, asking no questions with his tongue, yet taking in every sort of knowledge through his eyes. Chewing his betel-nut, he stares at stall and pen, at rack and s

street dogs. In Chicago, at the moment of starting for California, we make the acquaintance of Paul Cornell, chief partner in the great watch factory of that city. Cornell's watches are known in America as Breguet's watches are known in Europe. From the senior partner, who is going to San Francisco with a view to business, we learn that Ralston's busy brain has conceived the idea of opening a great watch factory in San Francisco, and doing the watch trade on a scale not yet attempted in Geneva or Neufchatel. The main feature of Ralston's scheme is the employment of Yellow labour in the place of White. Yellow labour, says Cornell, is cheap and good; the men are docile and intelligent; they never drink, and they are easily kept in order. Have they any skill in making clocks and watches? No, not yet; they have the trade to learn; but they are quick and patient. In six or eight months a poor fellow picked up in Jackson Street will be able to make a watch. A company h

Few persons see so much of our Asiatics as myself, and I can tell you, as a man of science and of moral order, that I should be sorry to see the population of China Town increase.
