The 62,000 Chinese in California are nearly all enrolled in six clubs, corresponding to the six disirict3 from which they came. When an immigrant ship arrives, the agents of each club go on board ami take charge of those who come from their district. The immigrant is boarded and lodged until he finds employment. All Chinamen who are sick or in want are also provided for by the clubs. " 1 do not wish to say anything against the individual in question," said a quiet man, "but I would merely remarked, in the language of the poet, that to him 'truth is strange — stranger than fiction.'" If yon would learn to bow, watch a mean ma \ when he talks to a gentleman of wealth. A narrow-minded' man can no more stand upright in the presence of a money hag than he can throw a somersault over the moon. Where there is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even though in a hovel or i» a mine, there is Fairyland.
