MINING LIcENsEs.-But little, says the
Republican, has ever been realized by
Shasta county from the collection of H.
censes due from foreign miners. There are
now probably seven hundred foreign mi

Chinese. Heretofore the licenses has not

THE ENGLISH LAXGUAGE.-The Dublin Uni
versity Magazine says :-ssDictionary English
is something very different not only from com
mon colloquial English, but even from that of
ordinary written composition. Instead of a.
bout 10000 words, there is probably not sin
gle author in the language from whose works,
however yoluminous, so many as ten thousand
words could be collected. OF the 70, 200
words there are certainly many more than
one-halt that are only employed, if they are
ever employed at all, on the rarest occasions.
We should any of Us be surprised to find, if We
counted them, with how small a number of
words we manage TO express all that we have
TO say, either with our lips or even with the
pen. Our common literary English probably
hardly amounts TO 10, 600 words; our common
spoken English hardly to 5OO0.''
