river which is not staked to assist the fisherman
IN his craft. There in no lake, no pond which
IS not crowded with fish. A piece of water is
nearly as valuable as field of fertile land. At

The enormous river of population of China,

their existence on the water, and who seldom
read except on the deck oftheir sampans, show
10 what an extent the land is crowded. and the
inadeqnacy its yield In the city of Canton
alone it is estimated that three hundred thou
sands persons dwell upon the surface of the riv-
er The boats, sometimes twenty or thirty deep,
cover some miles and have their wants supplied
by ambulatory salesmen, who wend the r way
through every accessible passage. Among
them are boats used for every purpose of Ii
cense and festivity. for theatres, concerts, gam
bling, &c. Not only are land and water croud =
ed with Chinese, but many dwell on artifc aI
islands which float upon the lakes-islands with
gardens and houses raised upon the rafters
which the occupants have bound together.
In every part of China which Europeans
have gained access to- it is found that every
foot of ground is brought under cultivation
every bit of soil, even though it be only few
feet in length and breadth every device is
employed for the gathering of everything that
can ferlilize the earth. The Chinese have no
prejudice as regards food, eating anything and
everything from which they cln derive nutri-
tion. Dogs, rats. mice monkeys, and snakes,
they make no objection to. Unmatched due ks
and chickens, are favorite dish Nor do the
early stages OF putreIacuon create any disgust.
Drunkenness is rare vice in China, and fer
mented spirits or strong drinks are seldom used
Tea is the universal beverage, The Chinese
eat but two meals day. The only repugnance
noticed in China by Mr.. Bowring is to the use
of milk. He never saw or heard of butter
cream, milk or whey being introduced at any
native Chinese table

FALL OF A BRrcK BU1LD1NG-ONE LIFE
LosT.-About half past seven o'clock this
morning, two story brick building on J.
street, between Fourth and Fifth fell With
terrible crash, killing one person and in
jurng one or two Others. The lower floor
was occupied by G.. G. Auld, one of our
most enterprising merchants, and upon
whom the loss will fall heavily. The goods
upon one side of the store were literally
ground to powder and the whole stock al
most entirely destroyed. A large mirror
worth some $500, fortunately was saved,
although surrounded by masses of fallen
brick and mortar. The second floor was oc-
cupied by DR.. Bu.rill and family; Mr.. Dick
man. dagurreotypist, and Others The ca
tastrophe was caused by excavations which
were being made in the adjoining lot, for
building purposes, and which weakened the
support Of the wall on that side.

The Sacramento Union, in its summary
of the proceedings of the Legislature, says:
"Another very important measure was the
introduction Of a revenue bill by Mr.. John
son, the chief object which is to force the
collection of taxes after they are levied
We have not seen the bill, but are informed
that it is extreme Y stringent in its provis-
