Excerpt from The Demon of the Orient and His Satellite Fiends of the Joints: Our Opium Smokers as They Are in Tartar Hells and American ParadisesGod, who mutely rules the destinies of the inhabitants of Chinatown.In the entrance to a saloon at the corner of Mott street, stood, waiting for me, a fair-faced young man with a sparse corn-colored moustache. The lower lids of his eyes were in¿amed, and of a light red color. His salutation was cordial, and his voice was low, the tones being exquisitely modulated.This young man was a fiend. He had a beautiful and accomplished wife and two little children in his tenement home. They were there almost without the necessaries of life, and will probably never receive more than sufficient to relieve their immediate wants from the husband and father, although there is no doubt that he loves them dearly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
