art of r riming a hotel. Ile is , perfect
master of etiquette, and has given his
restaur ut a very aristocratic tone.
I pas ed the place casually cal. . Tues-
day ev ning, unaware of the entertain-
ment of which :it was the scene. The
shrill n tes of a Chinesefiddle attracted
my atte tion, and entering the business
office onj the ground floor, I shock hands
with nia friend Mr. Sing, and inquired
the occasion of the musical festivities,
He informed me that a social party of

up my i hid to go up stairs, take some
tea and ook on. I left my hat in ;care
of the ashler, an elderly gentleinan,
with bi , brass-bow.ed spectacles, and,
conduct d by Mr. Sing, ascended the
windingtars.
LI 'Thit- ON A SMALL MARGEs . .
We re Lched the secondstory whichi
was divi ed into four or five apar meats,
• one lead e into the other; and. as Our
0
heads roe above the landing we caught
glimpses of tables on every hand and. of
Cliiname i seated at them, sippi ig tea„
smoking r eating. But the tabl s were
of co on deal, and their oceupants
were att re(i in blue cotton blouses and
black wo len hats of the cheapest qua:
ity. Th s was the plebeian floor. i Every
Chinese estaurant must have that, and
it detra ts in nowise from the aristo-
cratic re utation of Mr. Choy Wig's es-
tablishm nt that is not without i. The
vulgar s mls that frequent his second
story nev r penetrate the heaven of his

for no CI 'naman, unless he .is v. ealthy

at the frirther ciid of the apartment, near T

such decided superiority that the lamps 0

hung from the wall encased in a rich
American frame. Chinese landscape -
paintings, .in which mcmetains, 'seas,
trees and men were heaped upon each
other, adorned the Walls. The muSicians
were two fiddlers, hired profesaion*,
,
We had corno to watermelon seeds and
cigars. That finished the el' ii .x, and
now began a 9urious game, varied by
general conversation, that 1 ted until'
half -past 2 o'clock. My jute preter en-
deavored to explain it to 331. but our
minds, I am sorry to say, fail CI. to meet.
I could only look on in hopele s mystifi-
cation as congenial couples s gled each
other out, and -throwing then extended
hands across the table, yell d at each
other like lunatics. It was s i me game
of counting, I was given to u id.erstand,
and almost ev ry moment -inc of the
players would i ake a slip, an 1 as a un-
ishment be fo ced to take a drink of
brandy amid t e laughter of the com-
pany. . .
While this w s going on I was getting .
on an intimate ooting with two or three
of the ladies. They seated themselves
confidingly ab ut me, cracked water-
melon seeds b tween their tceth and
gave them to n e to eat ; pulled my eye-
glasses from m3 nose and. tie( them on
their own fl , broad -1 ridg.d. noses
where for the world they would not stay;
whispered deli ate insinuati ns about
each other, and all along pliec me well
with rice bram y. One, more confiding
even than the others, mged me to buy
her from her present lord and. master
and take her with me to New York,
TIME FOR 'I E WHITE MAN TO 'CO.
Shortly after two o'clock it seeined to
me that my friend Chin Lung was grow-
ing nervous. His restlessness in-
creased with every moment; and punctu-
ally at half -past two it culminated in a
whisper, somewhat timidly offered and
with pelceptil)1e embarrassment, that per-
-haps I " had be ter go now." I was a
little surprised, but of course offered no
objection. I o ly asked : '
" AVhat are yugomg to do now?"
" Oh, nothing," he replied, " nothing
at allee. We too go away very soonee.
We stay no longee. '
Though I felt inquisitive ' as to what
they purposed to do, even for the little
while that ostensibly they intended to
remain, I did not press my incildries. I
took my hat and with .clue cere lolly de-
parted. Below I met my fr end, Mr.
Sing.
' Sing," said II, " what are i.hey now
going to do up Stairs ?"
.Tppee stai ee ?" he saidi with a, grin
" Dey no do someting uppee dare. Dey ,
stay few minute go deunee too."
I shook my had at Sing, who, as I
have said, is aJ philosopher, ancl bade
him good night. Barely was -I in the
street before the doors were kicked be -
1
hind me, the shiittere being already .up,
and the gas was turned off. I looked up
1
and saw the whele building dark with
the exception of the third story ; but
that was brilliantly lighted, and the
party assembled. there, notwith standing
what I had been told, seemed anything
but prepared to disperse. It was now
nearly 3 o'clock.

shall at' all times have a stock of all the different
kinds of Sewing Machines, with their varied pre-
tentious to merit, that thepurchaseks may be able
to suit themselves at one establishment, without
inconveniences The whole face of' the country
has been, and sun is, freqnented by transient '
persons. /sly objet is to can.tien the public
against buying anything but Standard Mathines,
and of Regular Established Agents. who -can al-
ways be found, and whose warrant and guarantee
can be relied on, and if the purchaser is not suited
with the kind they think they want, they can hate
the privilege or cnanging it for any other. We
have at all times a new and fresh stock of the
l'koreuce and Webster Machines, as lwell as all the
other standard makes, which earl b . paid for on
very easy terms,. or if not satisfactory, can be
changed for any ether that na IT be desired,
