Chinatowns all over the world have lost. immensely in picturesqueness of late by the disappearance of the pigtail and the adoption of Europian dress. Now and then one may see here a small child gay in Chinese costume; but most of the children are olethed like English boys Staanship and girls of the same age, while many of the men are neater and more dandifed than are the same classes from British manned ships in a foreign port.
