AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. I.
part we were now in has been colonized by
pure Chinese, who are taking the place of the
original Manchus. These latter were few in
number, and had been drafted off with their
families to garrison the towns of China proper,
and now the Chinese immigrants from the over-
populated or famine-stricken districts of China
were flowing into the Manchurian valleys,
clearing away the forests, and bringing year
by year more land under cultivation. They
were, in fact, doing here exactly what our
colonists have been work* ng at for so many j
years in Canada. The amount of work they 'c
got through was marvellous. At the first streak
of dawn they rose, had a good meal, and then
set to at that heart-breaking labour, clearing
the ground of the stumps of trees which they
had felled. Hour after hour they would toil
away, hacking and hewing, and some of them
digging up the ground and preparing it for
a crop, and at midday they would stop and
have another square meal ; then return to the
same old wearing task till darkness set in when
they would come trooping in for their evening
repast. They were for the most part strong,
hard men, with enormous appetites. Millet
