These Chinese sailors are cele- brated for their courage and skill in handling their awkward looking craft. A foreigner the other day said to one of these tars who speaks broken English, pointing to the immense colored balls : " Johnny, what for you makee alle same fashion boats, you tinky handsome, first chop eh ?" To this singular talk the Chinaman answered with imperturbable gravity as follows : " Yes-ee, 'spose he no hah eyes catchee too muchee rocks, no can see walkee proper. !" So of cour...se we must not object to the queer eyes !
" The foreign residents at Foochow were deeply agitated by the unpro- voked murder of our countryman, Mr. Howard Cunningham, by an infuriated mob of Chinese on July 3, 1856. A street fight was commenced between some of the Canton men belonging to an American firm, Messrs. Augustine Heard & Co. , and the people of the place. Mr. Cunningham was endeavoring to quell the riot, and to disperse the parties when he was stabbed, and died that night. The wound was inflicted by a broad knife or spear.
