Is this a comment on the honesty of the Chinaman?
Is this indicative of their lack of confidence in each other?
And yet as a house-servant the Chinaman is trusty and faithful and honest.

He is also silent as to what transpires in his master's house and at his employer's table.

The writer has conversed with people who have had Chinamen in their service, he has also visited the homes of gentlemen where only Chinese servants are employed in domestic work, and all bear testimony to their excellence and faithfulness and honesty.
No visit to Chinatown would be complete without an inspection of its theatre and a study of the audience.

Here you see the Celestials _en masse_, you behold them in their amusements.

Let us repair then to the Jackson Street Theatre.
