BEDLAM RAMPANT.-Lovers Of Chinese dis
cord, should seat themselves on the hilltop op-
posite town-that being about the proper dis
tance-on Sunday afternoons. The delectable
creatures constituting the jennies of that filth
begotten clan, give full chorus to their cracked
voices at such times and although domiciled in
Chinatown, they can be heard at least two miles
off, should the breeze prove favorable. If hell
contains a swinge-cat capable of giving forth
such whining, gathering, creaking, hysteric ut
terings, Spangles thinks it must be horrible
place to go to
These heathenish rhapsodies, chants incanta-
tions, or what not, it is said, elected in the

ments hereafter consist of doubly-concentrated

aBut He Can't Keep a Hotel.

The man who travels much, will discover
pertinency in this slang phrase which few other
persons may have dreamed of. The smallest
number of men know how to keep hotel.
Twenty years ago, the landlord of country Inn
sat on bench at his bar-room door, watching
for customers. If horseman rode up to his
sign-post, in instant he had hold of the bridle-
rein, called the ostler, assisted the traveller to
alight, took charge of his saddle-bags, conduct
ed him into the house, inquired after his health,
how far he had rode, and finished the kindly re-
ception by setting out bottle, from which the
stranger, if he felt SO disposed, might pour,
and refresh himself. Such greeting made
man feel at home. 1t went directly to the heart;
and if his animal happened to be jaded, this was
the place he would select to lie over a couple of
days and rest him.
Now, the case is quite different. The traveller
alights from stage coach, walks into a spacious
saloon, sees young man sitting behind coun-
ter on high stool, making entries looks around
in vain for some one to take his carpet-bag, has
to ask "if he can get accommodations :" wants
to know if there is servant about to dust him
of-in fact, meets with decidedly cool recep-
ton which makes him feel sorry that he did not
stop at some other place!
Who that travels, has not noticed these def
ciences on the part of most of our hotel-keepers
The reason, in general way, may be ascribed to
the fact that the business of the modern hotel is
conducted by "clerk," instead of "host." 1t
is the clerks business-that functionary reasons
to himself-to attend to the books of the con-
Germ, and leave courtesy to whoever else about
the premises may think proper to practice it.
1t would be safe to say, that according to the
excellent customs which prevailed twenty years
ago, there are not dozen aeeH-kept hotels in the
State We have no longer such parsonage as
"host." 1t is now Ta'op'ieto,-one who does
not pretend to receive his guests or care to know
if they are properly entertained. Indeed, one
might be regular boarder at the public house,
and unless he read it on the weekly bill-head,
remain ignorant of the existence of any such
person as either host or proprietor!

Mountain Expresses.

Post offices are not very numerous amongst us,
but readers abound in every mining camp and
precinct of the county. In fact, there is not
more liberal class of newspaper patrons in any
portion of the State than here. Nearly every in
telligent man takes from two to five copies of
California weeklies and dailies. In order to ac-
commodate them with the news, the private ex-
press system is being generally adopted. We
have, for instance, along the main route between
North San Juan and Columbia Hill, including
a populous neighborhood on Shady Creek and
Little Grass Valley-both requiring considera-
bly, detour to be made in different directions-an
efficient daily express rider in the person of Mr.
A. l.. Smith, who delivers papers, letters and
miscellaneous packages at the door of his pat
rons, with even more promptitude than is done
by Uncle Sans coaches at the different post
offices. Mr.. E. T. Jordan supplies, in the same
manner, all that section of country lying between
San Juan and French Corral.
Without the transporting facilities furnished
by these separate gentlemen, it would be difficult
to receive and retain list of subscribers between
the points of mail delivery here named. With
them, there is every induoement for reading
people to support their home paper, at least for
we hold to the principle that IL should first be
provided for, after which, every one who desires
can go abroad to patronise such paper or papers
as his inclinations or means will permit
We invite an increase of subscribers, IN the
towns and along the road. The gentlemen above
named, who are punctual in the discharge Of all
their duties, will take pleasure in receiving
and delivering the PRESS anywhere within the
limits of their prescribed routes.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE CAMERA OBsCURA.-
While at Grass Valley the other day, we were
shown by Mr.. 7. NJ. Wood, daguerrean artist, a
camera recently received from New York the
only one of the kind in the State, we believe
which takes twelve miniature pictures at one sit
ting. Six are taken during the first few seconds
of time, when spring is touched, the plate
pushed up, and six more impressed on lower
parallel line. The principal object of the inven-
tion seems to be to supplant the use of visiting
cards. Instead of leaving this style of indicator
at the door of neighbor, as heretofore, lady
hands in the counterfeit presentment of her
features, which is placed in the usual receptacle
on the center-table, to be gazed at, and if hand
some, admired by all the gentlemen visitors of
the house. What nexts

STRANGE CoMPANIONsHIP.-When Trinculo,
one Of Shakspeare's characters, crawls under the
sheets with the monster Caliban, to gain protec-
ton from storm, he makes the remark k,-"Mis-
cry acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows." /"
So do politics. Two or three years ago, at Sac
ramento, we heard certain public speaker de-
nounce one of his fellow-citizens as " land
grabber and hog-thief," and, of course, unfit to
associate with honest men and gentlemen
From the Union of Thursday we learn that this
same public speaker, who is now candidate fol
the State Senate, condescends to address ratif
cation meeting over which this "land-grabbel
and hog-thief,' presided as chairman.

AN INTIMATIoN.-The Nevada Journal con-
tains the following. We know nothing
about the facts ourselves. Mr.. Elliott can
speak for himself, when opportunity offers:
ave notice in the Hydraulic Press, that
Mr.. j. G. Elliott had paid visit to North San
Juan, and was endeavoring to raise from
$4,000 to $4,000 for the purpose of making
survey, for a railroad from Marysvlle
through the Henness Pass Uia San Juan, re-
porting upon and mapping the same. The
Press also states several of the leading men
were interesting themselves in the matter
ave have no other object in referring to
this matter than to protect the people of
San, Juan, for whom we have great respect,
from imposition. 1t becomes our duty to say
thatcertain facts have been brought to our
knowledge which do not leave Mr. Elliott the
reputation Of being any better man than he
ought 80 be in money matters. Further and
full particulars can be obtained by address,
ing Geo. w Welch, of this city, whose con-
tracts with Mr. Elliott in black. and white
will show for themselves"

"THE VICTIMS OF FATE."-Miss Rowena
Granice, the authoress of the novelette, bearing
this title, called on yesterday, and laid copy
on our table with her own far hand. We have
not had time to peruse it, but learned, some
time ago, through the newspaper press, that it
had some reference to the life and doings of D.
c. Broderiek. Without stopping to inquire into
the merits of the work, it is enough for us to
know that Miss Granice seeks to make an hon.
est living by the sale of her little work, and she
therefore has our best wishes for abundant sue
cess in the undertaking..

A IoDEL OFFICER AND HONEST MAN.-Col.
Lander, Superintendent of the Wagon Road
Survey, IL will be remembered, returned
some $40, 900 to Government which had been
appropriated for the above service and placed
at his disposal Many people thought it
strange proceeding on the part of a Govern
ment officer, and we are tempted to think it
was for that reason The California delega-
ton asked him to resign. But the Colonel
didn't do it, and is now using every effort
in his power to facilitate the incoming im-
migration. Every person who crossed the
plains this season, speak in the highest
terms of him, both as man and officer. Fish
er's company found him at Rabbit Hole
springs, in the Carson Valley country, where
he had sawed lumber and built pools to catch
the water from the warm springs, where 1t
could cool for the use of emigrants and cat
tie. The Colonel was always found with his
working garb on, and boasted that he could
do as much hard labor as any man under
him. Several of the new comers tell US that
his advice to the emigrants was to come to
the north-that it was the place for their
families. We can readily imagine that the
Colonel is capable of giving such good ad-
vice, and We hope no further effort will be
made by the California delegation in Con-
gress to have the man removed, who by ev-
cry means in his power is striving to benefit
Northern California. the section which at
election time they all so dearly love. We
are for Lander, Row and foreyer.-Trinity
