Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 17: July 15, 1882 The Chinese quietly pursued the even tenor of their way, taking that course which they conceived to be the best with little regard to the dictates of the invaders, and yet without any hostile demonstration until they gradually absorbed the Tartars.
