Under the heading "The Mongolian Difficulty" a correspondent to the Advertiser on 11 April 1878, page 7c says:
-
The increasing number of Chinese pedlars prowlers about the back doors of the
city, and encouraged by servant girls, and even mistresses who ought to know
better, but who do not scruple to handle their goods, because they are perfectly
ignorant of the conditions under which the men live, the disgusting crimes
of which they are guilty, and the risks buyers run of being contaminated
by their unspeakably loathsome diseases.

-
In the city there is a "colony" of Afghans, while a great many are roaming
about the country. Coming of a fierce passionate race they often annoy women
in the country districts who will not buy, while in the city their shortness
of temper leads them into many a brawl with the rougher lads of the street.
In a spirited defence of his race an Afghan responded under the heading "The
Truth About Afghans" - see Register,
