Anyənə who knows anything of Chinese customs would know that these me must have had wires in China and that the English marriage servien they had genu tuongh was little bottos, ander the cir derustances, then a force.

There is no doubt that a man in his position C. Peruano, Esq.

while Bus mon who frutéed the bushanss work by another stater.
I think that no steamor company shoal gruit a passage to any English girl com Paying, or accompanied by Chinaman be China or cleavbere, and 29100 seliau should ba takou by the British Authorities to ensure lain. It was only loo ovident to rayself what the fate of the poor girls would be, but I found that they would not listen to consel and dat iboroteze I was powerless to help them.
I note, by the nocount in the paper, that the poor girl in question was foft, ie the depth DI Winter, in an empty homes with only a tight- dress ns, bor solo covering or article of apporról. This speaks volumes both as to the diabolical celty and man ness of the Chinos onere and to the purity of the girl thus left to hor. inte, for havt she not been too pro to fall in with their views and be their willing tool she would not have been left thus.
As for the Euplish sucretary of the Chines Legation, hu is Umeath contempt, for he ob tained this position and keeps it by truckling
