Philadelphia Timm.] Wandering about th* China** quar ter, now and then one haa tba failing of Doing in some naw planet Every thing ia un-American. Evan the fond ness of modern decorators for Chinese and Japanese ornamentation does not prepare one for th* carious and extra ordinary furniture and appointments of tho Chinese restaurants. In their moral pictures their artists appear to Imro looked upon the forms of netnra with preternatural eyes. Now and thon, in small, ill-ventilated room*, on* cornea upon liand-work ornaments which snrpaaa in felicity the finest achievements of European skill in tho tame direction. Some of the richest metal and panel wort X hare ever aeaa is in tho lorn honse. There i* another Joes house, apparently for the very poor, whose decorathme arc fantastic to a degree. This seems to have I wen improvised under some priestly order. Daring tho |m*t week, in front of tho door stand two gigantio figure*, in raliof, suggestive of some Chinese Gog or Magog, their Gag comprising every color of the rainbow. In the gtonnd room was an ever-whirl ing cage, suspended, containing all ■manner of incomprthenaible little ob jects, awl on the walla picture* convey ing some story of a hero going through many ordeals, which seem to be of ab sorbing interest to tbs 'crowd. Thar* were three stories to th* house, each got np in a different way. One of theao waa called the tempi*. Than wm m altar in on* of these rooms, on which waa a lironzc canldrpn, which Chinamen every now and than stirred and feme which issued a steam of a peculiar odor. In tho chief temple there was a large figure of the Joes, in whom I oonld rec ognize torn* far-off corruption of Bud dha; oil tha altar before him was a large, round dish with compartments, each of which eofttained candies of • different shape and color. *In this tem ple tha Chinas* teamed to idle around; no hot wm remand, nnd then was nothing in their flora or behavior which indicated any reverence or solemnity. Haring found n Chinaman who under stood a little English ho told me that it was a three-day festival or mission. At tho qnd of tho three days, in the evening, I went around that way, and at midnight witnessed n strange Joaa procession. Tha street for 200 yards waa fringed with firs, apparently " ', at which hum Monday. December 31.1883. Present,’ Mayor Felder, Aldermen Bell, Cobh, Williams and Hawkins. Absent, Aid.
