Twain, Mark. China at the fair [ID D29364]. Chy Lung, of Dupont street, near Washington, has deposited at the Fair Pavilion, a hideous carved image of a Chinese lion, for exhibition. It is embellished with all the ghastly-painted deviltry so pleasing to the Chinese taste and so grateful to his eye. It will be well for the prudent Christian to treat the monster with respect, for it may, possibly, be a Pagan god in disguise. |
