EXPENSE OF SHAvING.-The Boston,
(Mass-) transcript says: Suppose
man commences shaving at II, and con-
tinues the practice daily until he is 60;
it will be found that he has shaved
1900 times. Going to the barber's,
stopping and returning, cannot be esti-
mated at less tnan half an hour, which
at ten working hours day, will consume
two whole. years At six cents for
each time the amount S9i2-enough to
build an ornamental cottage or pay his
board for six years
At California prices the above grand
total will be quadrupled. or reach the
sum of $3,7d6.

CHINESE GAMBLING HoUsEs.-The
San Francisco Bulletin of recent date,
deyotes good deal of attention to the
gambling houses of that city. Some
facts connected with the Chinese mode
of gambling may be of interest to our
readers, and hence we give the following
description:
Our attention was called few days
since to the Chinese gambling houses on
Dupont street. 'On investigation, we
found that there are six or seven fthem
between Clay and Washington streets,
and one OF two between Washington and
jackson. They are to be known by
the door-keepers, who sit at the door day
and night, and during the later seasons
by the lanterns which they keep burn
ing. Tn no case does the front door lead
Immediately into the gaming depart
ments, but the visitors, when they can
succeed in getting in, generally have to
pass through into back room or behind
curtains, so fixed that nothing Of the
business can be seen from the outside
The game played at them, is Sort Of
odd or even game. A man who occu-
pies the place of adealer of cards, grabs
up handful of Chinese brass coin and
hr ,ws them on the table before him
1 he bettors sit around him and bet their
half and quarter dollars that there is an
odd or even number of coins before the
dealer, who during the timeis sorting out
the pieces two by two. The bets are
made by placing the money wagers Ell
ther at one of the sides or at the corner
of a square piece of oil cloth tackled on
the centre of the table. To place the
money at the side indicates that bet is
made that the coins make an even num-
ber, at the corners the opposite. If the
better wins, man with the money at
the side Of the coin counter pays over
an amount equal to the bet if the bet
is lost, he takes the stake from the table.
There is no liquor visible and no uproar !;
but for hours after hours, the rapt, sober
faced Chinese gambler will sit bantering
luck, winning or losing, with hardly
change of countenance. There are
almost always large numbers of them at
play, as dozens may bet at the same
table.
1t is little difficult to enter these
places, as the Chinese knew that gam
bling is prohibited by law, and that they
are liable to prosecution and fines or i'm
prisonment. The duty of the door-keep-
er is to keep out all who cannot be
trusted, and most of the houses have
contrivances in the way of falling doors,
worked by rope always within the
reach of the doorkeeper. If an inter-
loper insists upon going in, the door
keeper pulls his rope and the trap comes
down with slam, and the fellows be-
hind it are notified that something is not
right in front. Such is one of their
contrivances for eluding detection; but
it is said and we are disposed TO credit
it, that they have much safer method
of protection against prosecution. They
have one or more American citizens sup
posed to be acquainted with law and
police matters, who look out for them,
and who, in consideration of services,
receive a weekly stipend. which the
Chinese gambling proprietors are very
wiling to pay. 1t seems to be matter
of mutual benefit, or value received on
both sides.

There is heap of human nature
in the remarks of Uncle Alick, in late
number of Harper. Some Irish laborers
engaged in the construction of railroad
through his sweet patato patch had
given him some vexation, and caused
him to use "expressions savoring more
of humanity than Christianity" though
he was reverend gentleman of color.
He was reminded that the Scriptures
tell us to "love our enemies and pray
for them that despitefnlly use u.s.
Oats fac; SO it does, mass'r, SO it
does" said he, throwing himself into an
oratorical attitude; "but my 'pinions on

ward he gifts converted, dat ambition is

FRANKLIN's FIRST APPEARANCE IN
AN ENGLISH PRINTING OFFICE.-When
quite a youth, Franklin went to Lon
don, entered printing Office, and in.
quired if he could get employment as a
printer.
"Where are you from ?' inquired the
foreman.
America, . was the reply.
.'Ah," said the foreman, s.from Ameri.
ca lad from America seeking EN-.
ployment as printer Well, do you
really understand the art of printing
Can you set type?"
Franklin stepped to one of the cases
and in a very brief space, set up the fol
lowing passage from the first chapter of
the Gospel by St. John
Nathaniel saith unto him, can any
good thing come out of Nazareth -
Philip saith unto him, come and see.'
1t was done so quick, so appropriate
and contained delicate reproof, 50
timely andpowerful, that it at once gave
him standing and character with all in
the office.

TRUE GREATNEss.--It is by what we
ourselves have done, and not by what
others have done for us, that we shall
be remembered by after. 1t is thought
that has aroused the intellect from its
shumbers, which has "given lustre to
virtue, and dignity to truth" orby those
examples which have infamed the soul
with the love of goodness and not by

with johnson and Burke. with Howard

LOVE FOR FOREIGNERS yes,
the Democracy love foreigners, they do.
They love them because they hope to
carry the election with their votes.-
When the party was sufficiently strong
to do without them, this affection for
them was never heard of They could
then afford to make a show of patriotism,
and warn the people against foreign in
fuence. Here are Buchanan's opinions
expressed in 1915. Wonder what they
are nowl Times will change and men

above all, we ought to drire from
our shores FOREIGN INFLUENCE,
and cherish AMERICAN FEELING. For

HERE'S A.lTExT FOR YoU.-A loco
foco convention assembled in Philadel-
phia on the Sd of September, according
to the Ledger, and among the resolu-
tions adopted was the following
Resozeed, That the American people
owe lasting debt of gratitude to Frank
lin Pierce, our enlightened aud patriotic
chief magistrate, for the distinguished
manner in which he has administered
the affairs and discharged all the high
functions Of bis elevated position. He
has nobly redeemed alike the pledges
so eloquently given and set forth in his
inaugural address, and the expectations
of his country in the conduct and man.
agement of our foreign relations, in re-
ference to which he has asked for no
thing that was not clearly right, and
submitted to nothing that was wrong,
and in the carrying out of domestic
policy, suggested and enforced by lofty
talent and shrewd sagacity, resulting. in
the preservation of the general welfare
and the Tightening of the bonds of our
common union.
He has beautifully redeemed the
pledges so eloquently given and set
forth in his inaugural address," namely,
frowned down all agitation and MAIN
tanned the integrity of the compromises
of 1850
He has most admirably carved ''out a
domestic policy, suggested and enforced
by lofty talent and shrewd sagacity, re-
sulting in the preservation of the gen
eral welfare and the tightening Of the
bonds Of our common union -
The whole country, from state of
quietude, has been thrown into unceas-
ing alarm and agitation. Bowie-knives,
rifles, and the other implements of war
and murder, are used without stint or
remorse in fratricidal conflict If the
general welfare has been preserved,
then will war of determination be-
tween sections be the cause of an un-
exampled and glorious prosperity. If
the ''tightening of the bonds of our com
mon union" has been accomplished by
the internal dissentions now raging, and
which have caused dissolution to be a
common household word, then let us
hang out the black flag, neither give
nor take quarter, in universal inter-
necine war, that the bonds of union may
be cemented forever!

Most of the country through which a
Pacific Railway must run. assimilates
nearer to the Western and Southwest
ern States. than to the Eastern and
expensive section. Four-ffths of the
entire route from the Mississippi to the
Pacific will cost comparatively little for
grading, while on Eastern roads the
major part of the entire expense is ac-
crued from cutting through hills and
filing up vallies. The right of way
purchase of sites in large cities for de-
pots, cost of the timber, &c, adds largely
to the expense of constructing railroads
in any settled district. Across the
plains the land and timber will belong
mostly to government and cost nothing.
