CHINESE THEATRIcALs.-1he season for
Chinese theatlicals seems to have commen-
ced under favorable auspices in this place.
A large company of performers have lately
arrived, who perform nightly to crowded
houses. There must be something intensely
interesting to the ceestials in these exhibitions,
as it can be observed that the Chinese are
always attracted to the town in large num-
bers during the stay of one of their theatri-
cal companies. At the present time the
Chinese population of Auburn and vicinity
seems to be one hundred per cent. greater
than three months ago.

School Supelintendents Report.

The Annual Report OF the superintendent
of Public Schools of Placer county, will be
found in to days Herald. The report en-
braces some interesting statistics in reference
to the county schools, makes a number of
recommendations, and furnish some infor
nation of the kind and condition of the six
teenth and thir'y-sixth sections of the public
land,-the sections accrung to the State
for school purposes.
For the year ending October 3lst 1851,
it appears that IA schools, l3 teachers, and
G2S children were reported by census; s3,-
1874 was the amount of the fund appor-
toned to these schools. The average of
months in which school was taught that
year was five. The fund averaged, to each
teacher $2f5, 21--beng a monthly averag'
to each one of 849,0l.
For the year ending October 3lst, 1853,
there were Is schools, l 4 teachers, and S54
children returned by census. The fund APP
portioned was s3,259,G7. The average of

the apportionel fund of s3,269,67 there
was raised by subscription and otherwise,

which make an average to each teacher of
$402,l2 or monthly average to each one
of S73,48.
The number of children returned by GEN.
sus for the ensuing school year is 1860; be-
tween the ages of four and eighteen years

To parents and others interested in the

the school system of the county; and his eff

in establishing permanent schools.

THE SILENT YOUNG A

AT a large boarding-hous everybody knows
everybody else as a matter of course but at a
large hotel this does not follow. The boarding
house may therefore be said to typify country
villages the hotel to represent the city.
During the past season, a large and goodly
company from all quarters was collected at an
old fashioned boarding house at the extremity
of Cape Ann, one Of the most delightful water
ing-places in the whole sweep of our northern
coast. There the air is pure and fresh the
shore is diversified by a thousand inlets, bays
coves, reefs and beaches, head-lands and pictu-
rescue islands, while not far withdrawn from the
waters edge, are heavily timbered woodlands,
and pastoral valleys teeming with luxuriance.
Among the company was a belle-there is al
ways one bright particular star at every water
ing place. She was reputed to be rich in the
worlds goods in the wealth of beauty she was
unsurpassed. Shall we catalogue her charms

H BEST SCHOLAR.

In every school there is one who is called the
best scholar. Teachers and pupils have no diff
fculty in deciding who is entitled to this hon.
orable distinction, and when we once heard the
pupils of a school exclaim, as a bright-eyed boy
entered the room, 4" Here comes Frank he is
the best boy in school,"-we thought, "What
a good introduction to a new teacher" After
becoming acquainted with the scholars, we
found that they had told the truth. Frank was
the best boy in school, and will no doubt be-
come one of the best men in the city. Think
of it, boys. "The best boy in school," Who
would not be proud of such a title? 1t is worth
more than millions of dollars. But perhaps
some scholars will say, We can't all be the
best" This is true, but you have a right to try,
and the one who will try hardest will succeed,
for there is power in that little word try. Frank
could not be the best boy in his school if he
did not try. If you cannot be the best, be care.
full and not be the worst. Every school has
one boy who is worse than any other scholar
We pity him We pity his parents, his brothers
and sisters. What a disgraceful title" The
worst boy in school," He will no doubt be.
come one of the worst men in the community
Let every boy who reads this resolve to be g tn,

Which limners give
To the beloved apostles.

Once or twice Miss Marvel thought she de-
tected him gazing at her with a look of earnest
admiration but he never ventured to address
her. He was the most ~taciturn of individuals.
Few ever heard the sound Of his voice-yet it
was musical and soft. He was fond of wander
ing away by himself and passing whole days
among the rocks, with a volume of poetry in his
hand,
One day when the company had all assembled
at dinner, Miss Marvel related an unfortunate
occurrence that had Glanced to her that morn
ing. As she vas seated by the brink of the
'Poof a wild spot, where the raging Atlantic
had wrought a mighty hollow, many fathoms
deep, where the advancing and receding tide
ragged awfully, a bracelet, not less valuable from
association than ntrinsically-had slipped from
her white arm and disappeared in the waves.
The fishermen had told her that the only chance
of recovering the lost treasure was by diving,
but to dive in that place was as dangerous as
for the cavalier of old to leap into the lions den
to recover the fallen glove of his mistress.
To this tale, Clifford was observed to listen
with intense interest, and he retired early from
the table. The next morning he was not at
breakfast, but when the company were seated
at dinner, he appeared, paler than usual, and
more tremulous in manner, and approaching
Miss Marvel, he clasped the lost bracelet on her
arm. A glow ofgratitude and pleasure suffused
the beautiful countenance of the maiden.
"Mr. Clifford !" she exclaimed, Il thank YOU
a thousand, thousand times, But how did you
manage to bring up this bracelet from that dan
gerous placer
miss Marvel regretted it-and it is here p
he said simply.
"But to risk your life ?' said the lady sinking
her voice to a tender whisper.
"The stake was a small one sighed Clifford
"Who cares for me ?"
Miss Marvel blushed deeply. The other la.
dies were protuse in their praises of Cliford's
gallantry. 1t was too much for the modesty Of
the silent young man, he escaped from the din.
ing room and fled. The landlady thought he
had gone to change his dress, and so kept the
table waiting but he did not appear at supper
Some inquiries elected the fact that he had beer
seen at the railroad station, with his carpet-ba,
in his hand, waiting for the train to Boston,
The ladies hoped he would soon return, becaus,
he was so handsome; the landlady wanted hin
to come back, because he owed her for a month
board. When Miss Marvel unclasped he
bracelet that night to put it in her jewel-case
beside its fellow she discovered on comparin,
them, that the diamond had been distracted b
the false Clifford, and a worthless stone substi
tuted in place. Lucy Brandon on discovering
that her Clifford was a highwayman, was no
more shocked than Miss Marvel on finding her
to be a rascal. Where is he now? In a ia
southern cline, exhibiting the little 'ioker," an,
cozening flats with 'three-card monte"
