The following is the style Of oath used by the
Chinese 10 the courts of California;
"Hong ' eng chock cheng zee shat lou sat no
NOW seq hook yau So hook fock mou san tin kan

give evidence with the truth, nothing but the
truth, and without any particle Of Partially if
there is any parliaty certain that the
Heavenly God will examine into it and send down
his calamity on me, although if my oath is a
tue one, his blessing will be bestowed upon
me-"
The above oath is written upon yellow paper,
signed by the one who takes the oath, and burned
in court. The oath sworn in China gives the
blood Of the witness to the devil, if he tells
lie.
Steamer Day. Sieamer day is an epoch

callings and professions are obliged to miugle.-

GriSzly BeGrs-The miners are generally in
the habit Of keeping their fresh meat in drift

Beating Chinamen.-The rowdies in San
Francisco amuse themselves by standing on the
street corners and knocking down Cinnamon as
they come along, making an indscriminale smash
of China. But it is rather an expensive amuse-

down F" for four months or so.
Three murders per day, it is estimated, have
been committed during the past month, on an av-

REMARKABLE CoEDEscEEsIoE.-We clip the
following instance Of remarkable condescension from
the Rev. Charles Hudson's Atlas.
SoRae OF onr contemporaries are speculating upon
the organization Of the Legislature. We have not
been very forward ia selecting officers for other bod
sea, OF which we not member We generally
prefer stlotoizg them to select for themselves.
History has seldom had an opportunity to record
such instances OF selfsacri6cng generosity as the
above. We believe thai the Khan Of Tartary, who
on feast days eats puppy and drinks mares milk,
makes proclamation 10 all the Asalics that they
may take dinner after he has laid down his wooden
platter and Scotch chieftan, who does not in
clude paataoons 10 his wardrobe, nor much besides
clans IN his lardcr, his piper every day to
inform creation "rhat all the world may 90 to
dine; the great Mcneil Of Barra has dned"
To these two celebrated instances must now be adj
ded that Of The Reverend Charles. The most tre-
mendous men in the world are the Khan OF Tararv
Mcneil Of Bana, and Hudson of the Atlas; but
the universe is safe, for they all inclined to be
clever. We hope bodies TO which Mr.. Hudson
does not belong, will appreciate his coudesceasion in
SiiOwing them to select their own officers The
royal wings can be gracious when they try to.
