HE CELEsrIALs IN AusrRAL1A.-The
same sentiment Of hostility towards Chi
nese cmgrants which has manifested it
self in California, has also sprung up and
become even more fully developed IN Aus
tralia. The principal cause of this hostil-
ity is, that the. Celestials in California. as
in Australia, do nothing to promote the
prosperity Of the country they come to.
their sole aim being to extract Just enough
of the precious metal to return in compar-
ative wealth to the Flowery Kingdom
The Provisional Parliament of Victora has
taken up the matter, and enacted string
ent bill to puta stop to Chinese emigration.
One of of the classes of this bill is to make
it a misdemeanor for the captain of any YES
sci to bring more than two emigrant pas
sengers for each ten tons measurement !:
and another is the levying of capitation
tax of ten pounds fifty dollars) on each OF
these emigrants This will bill certainly.
If rigidly enforced, have the effect of put
ting stop entirely to the emigration OF
John Chinaman.

Dickens TURNED DANDY.-A letter
writer thus refers to the appearance OF
Dickens in Paris, where he has gone to
spend the winter:
"Boz is as great dandy now as Bull
wer-he is great on frills and patchoul-
wears moustache-and has entirely
changed the stylo of arranging his hair
So transmogrifcd is he, that his mother
would certainly not recognize him, poor
woman Schafcr is painting him in his
new style, and his portrait now will pre-
sent curious contrast to the popular ones
which were taken about ten years ago
from painting by Maclise. The nous
tache, the elaborately frilled shirt, the dia-
mond studs, and the all-rounder, have
made another man of him.

MISTAKES OF A NIGuT.-Tho following
ludicrous incident occurred recehtly on
board the night train from New York.
Two married eoupla took their seat in the
cars at New York, bound for Boston. in
close proximity, and about s O'Clock they
both lndulged in balmy slumbers, the heads
OF their wives resting upon their husbands
shoulders. When the cars reached Wor-
cester, the gentlemen stepped out, and the
ladies, apparently exhausted, slept on
The delay was brief, and on entering the
cars, the husbands, whose eyes were scarce,
y opened, exchanged seats, and in a few
moments resumed their natural positions
and were in the land of dreams. At Fra
mingham the cars stopped again, when one
of the laddies asked
'Will you have time to get me drink
Of water here %
The aflrighted gentleman not recogni
zing the music of his wifc's voice exclaim
ed
'By heavens, have | made mistake (
This isn't Tilly !"
NO" exclaimed the lady, "and yor
amt my husband
''Perhaps we had better change seats,
exclaimed the husband in the seat imme
dlately in the rear, who had awoke, ''for
there's slight mistake here"
The second lady, too much fatigued, did
not awake, and as the temporary husband
endeavored to shift his burden so as to
move, she merely calculated, impatiently
DO keep still.
