Subject: RE: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?
These pretty much clinch it. Apologies for the offensive language of those days:

Pacific-City Enterprise (Pacific City, Iowa [!]), Nov. 5, 1857:

"Let old John Bull once get his blood fully up, and all Asia, with its hundreds of millions of spindle-shanked Hindoos, flat-headed Tartars and hog-eyed Chinese can't stop him."

Solano-Napa [Calif.] News-Chronicle (Mar. 17, 1877):

"A pair of Chinese lovers...two representatives of the hog-eyed race."
