CHISEsE IN SAN FRAScIsco.-Among the strange
groups going TO make up the population of San

grants from China. letter says
"At least seventy FIVE houses have been imported
from Canton, and put up by Chinese carpcn-
tiers. Nearly all the chairs in private families are
Of Chinese manufacture, and there are two restau.

numbers Of Chinese have pitched their tents and
we have remarked with much interest the charac.

until late in the evening, these industrious men are
engaged in their occupation of house builders of
which a great many have been exported from
China; and the quetncss and order, cheerfulness
and temperance which s observable i'm their habits
are noticed by every one. Search the city through
and you will not find an idle Chinaman; and their
cleanliness exceeds any other people we ever saw
"The buildings brought from China are general.

JAvA.-GRowTH OF COFFEE AND PEPPER.-In
extent Java is about seven hundred miles in length
and it varies from eighty to one hundred and forty
miles in width. Its area is less than twenty thou
sand square miles The face of the country is more
or less broken by mountains, but the soil generally
is rich and productive. The products are rice SUI
gar, coffee, pepper, spices, and profusion Of the
finest tropical fruit. We were much interested in
seeing some of these tropical productions growing
Coffee is cultivated here 10 great perfection as in
almost any other part of the world. It grows upon
large bushes that very much resemble our large
chinkapin bushes, and the grains of coffeeare formed
two in berry, about the size and shape of COM
mon plum. The skin of the berry is about as thick
as that OF the plum, and the COLOR when ripe pale
scarlet.
The bush is very productive. Every branch is
loaded with the berries, which grow two in place,
on opposite sides of each other, and about an inch
and hall apart. When ripe, the skin bursts open,
and the grains of coffee fall out upon the ground;
but more general way is to spread something UNI
der the bush, and shake the coffee down After the
outer skin s taken off there remains a kind of husk
over each kernel, which is broken off, after beipg
well dried in the sum- by heavy rollers The coffee
after this, needs winnowing, in order TO be freed
from the broken particles of the husk. 1t has been
said by some writers that one bush will not, with
another, average more than pound of coffee;
though it seemed to Inc, judging from appear
ances, that this was too small an allowance for each
BUSH
Black pepper is also raised to some extent on the
island of Java but Sumatra, which lies Just across
the straits Is by far the most celebrated for this
commodity. Her pepper is, perhaps, the finest and
most abundant OF any one country in the world.
Black pepper grows on vine, very much like our
grape vine, and the pepper vineyards remind me
very much of our American vineyards of grapes.
The pepper grows, and looks, when green, very
much like our currants. There is this difference
however; the currant has each its own distinct
stem, but the pepper has not Every grain grows
hard on to one common STEM just each grain of
Indian corn does on the cob husk, as Virginians
incorrectly would say. The color of pepper, when
first ripe, is almost bright red, and changes to
the dead black, common TO US, by being exposed to
the heat of the sun.
The famous white pepper is nothing than
the common black, with the outer skin taken off Ii
is first soaked until this skin bursts open, which is
then rubbed of and the grain dried. The white is
not considered so pungent the black, though it
cessary in order to prepare it.-Notes of an 44meri
can Traveller in the East.

DUTy ON CoAL.-Thc Pottsvie Miners Journal
states that the Coal Mining Association helda meet
ing there last week, at the instance of one Of the
gentlemen who bad been invited TO visit Washing
ton, to confer with the Secretary of the Treasury
they decided upon recommending a specific duty
OF = II % per ton on coal-about % per cent less
than the duty in the bill Of 1912, which was \ IS
per ton. The Journal says, "tho trade prefers
moderate but adequate duty for protection, with
view OF pernanency, in preference to high duties,
which arc constantly liable To change In the pre-
sent state Of the coal trade, with ample protection
TO those branches Of industry into which the con
sumption Of coal enters largely, the rate recom-
mendcd will be sufiicient-but IL ought not 10 be
lower In the bill of 1916, the present rate of duty
is about 90 10 40 cents per ton" We arc truly re-
joiced TO learn that permanency is beginning to be
regarded ms of more value than high duties. The
articles of coal and iron peculiar, inasmuch as
they can be imported for ballast and, therefore,
revenue duty can never answer any purpose Of suf-
icient protection; but, with a duty of S % per
ton coal, cntcrprising golfers of Schuylkill
county will soon be enabled TO resusciate their
business, give pernanency 10 their rates Of wages,
and enjoy prosperity which changing legislation
has long prevented-Phd Daily Sun, 2Oh,

Government Expenditures.

1t is amusing to read in the Opposition
journals suggestions and censures of Wing
extravaganza. Already they begin to
raise the cry of multiplying expenditures,
and increasing the burdens of the people,
when there has not been cent Of dis
bursement except under the provisions of
Locofoco administration. We all remem-
Der the alarm that was raised by charges
OF this nature during the administration Of
Mr.. ADAMS; and that the public expendi-
lures were doubled under his immediate
successors. We all remember that the
Richmond Enquirer Eastonished and cleo
trifed" the country with its articles on the
paltry defalcation of Mr. WATKINS; and
that the same journal except dark" ex-
ceedingly dark, on the depredations that
were committed to the amount of hundreds
of thousands of dollars in the post office,
land Office, and custom-houses, under the
reign of General JACKSON and Mr.. VAN
buren,. We all know that Mr.. PoLK's
administration oppressed the country with
the weight of an enormous debt, and
that this debt must be paid; that Mr..
PoLK's administration entered into OBJ
legations to an enormous amount, and
that those obligations must be met. And
now the old game is to be played over
again. The old plunderers of the trea-
sury, the very men who by their reckless
and wicked extravaganza have plunged
the country into Indebtedness, now talk of
'staxes falling upon the shoulders of the
people, and paralyzing their energies by
the crushing weight of debt"
This is little too barefaced-but the
most brazen impudence and the most base
hypocrisy have ceased to 'Eastonish or
electrify" US. We are prepared for all
manner of fiction and fabrication. We
are prepared to see the defalcations of
COLLINS, Moore, DENBY, and OSBORNE,
laid at the door of the present Admins
tration; because they cannot conjure back
the money that those men have taken
from the treasury. We shall not be
surprised to hear the Administration re-
viled and rallied at, because they are
compelled to raise the money TO pay
off the accumulated war debt which has
been bequeathed to them. This game,
indeed, has been already commenced, and
the Locofoco pack are already loud mouthed
in their outcry against the Administration,
because they are paying out money under
Locofoco appropriation bills which they
have had no hand in framing
This is kind of political swndling,
which, in point of morals, is just one
shade removed from the actual plumber of
the treasury. 1t is the difference between
bearing false witness and thievng and
we leave it to Locofoco casuistry to spec
ulate on the distinction.
