A CHINESE FUNERAL IN CALIFORNIA is de-
scribed in the San Francisco papers. Mr.. At
hang, a respectable merchant from Canton,
died from the effects Of disease contracted on
his passage to California The funeral process
sion of his countrymen, attired in their native
costume, was very striking, and probably the
largest ever witnessed outside the Celestial
Empire. On arriving at the cemetery, they all
proceeded to the different graves of their coun-
trymen, buried there at various times, sprinkled
wine upon their tombs, and performed variety
of other ceremonies very singular to us " out
siders, J" after which the body was consigned to
the grave with much ceremony-throwing into
the grave the white ribbon which they all wore
upon their left arm as badge Of mourning;
burning candles, incense, torches, and slips of
gilt paper, at the foot of the grave, with a
salaam for each. They then made way for the
brother of the deceased, who approached the
grave much affected, and performed nine genu-
hexions, kissing the ground and saaaming.
After which they profusely distributed wine,
cigars, and perforated Chinese coin among all
present. They then returned with the most
! perfect decorum TO their homes. The whole
scene appeared to be one Of joy instead Of
| mourning.

GInARD CoLLEGE.-Mr. J. r. Tyson, in an
article on the commerce Of Philadelphia, thus
speaks Of the Girard College for Orphans:
" But considerable effect must be produced
upon the personal characters Of mechanics and
manufacturers by the influence Of the Girard
College for 0rphaus--perhaps the wisest and
most bene6cent institution of the nineteenth
century. After adequate mental training within
its walls, the pupils are to be taught manufac-
lures, navigation, or some other practical or
useful employment. There will in q few years
be thousand who, snatched by its protection
in early childhood from the evils attendant on
orphan penury, and instructed by its paternal
discipline in youth and homage, will form class
of candidates for the manual occupations Of life,
more numerous and better educated than any
ago or country has ever Incorporated with its
society These exposed classes, from which
the almshouses and prisons are supplied with
victims, are made by the sagacity Of the founder
to give rank and elevation TO the mechanic and
artisan, and the dignity and value to their social
claims"

REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF A PRISONER. Ed
ward Holt escaped from the Trenton IN. J.l
Jail on Monday, in a remarkable manner The
prisoner, the State Gazette says occupied one
of the lower cells in the middle wing. He had
taken up part Of the floor of his cell, and dug
down perpendicular depth of seven feet. The
foundation wall is about six feet below the sur
face. lie burrowed under the wall and up to
the surface of the ground on the outside. This
brought him into the yard of the prison. Then,
by means Of ladder made of pieces of rope
and bedding and the Stats from the bottom of
his bunk, with hooks on the end made of nails
he scaled the outside wall. He had To throw
the ladder to the top--the hooks caught in the
coping-and, after reaching the top, he re-
yersed his ladder and let himself down on the
outside. A course Of stone is laid Immediately
under the floor of the cells. These were re-
moved, pat on. his bInk, and carefully covered
over with the bedding. The digging was per-
formed with o bed screw, and thin pieces Of
boards were used for shoyelling up The dirt
All the dirt thrown out on the cell floor was
put there on Sunday after six o'clock in the
evening--the hour at which the cells were fas-
tened for the night. After he got down some
five feet, he made ladder to get in and ont of
the hole with the dirt He carried the dirt in
q pail, to which he had rope attached After
getting the pail full, he came up with stones
in his hand, and having deposited them very
carefully on the floor, pulled up the pail full of
earth. Every thing had to be done with great
caution, as the least noise would reverberate
through the corridor, and would be heard by
the watchmen Before he left, he composed
poetic effusion of four lines, and on the wall he
painted with charcoal and red chalk variety
of handsome figures underneath the principal
one, which represented beautiful target, he
drew, in letters, " Liberty's wanted by every
BODY"
