Funerals and Courtships A,nons the CeIes- I

Hr.. IL tinl9s
In China, It Is a strong mark OF filial re-
gard for son to buy coffin as present Ia
his father, while yet living. On presenting
il, he says, "may you i've ten thousand
yearsp' if
When man becomes able, one Of the first
articles of furniture he buys for himself is
his coffin 1t is often used as q bench or
table for years. When Il becomes tenanted
1t is frequently kept in the house for many
years longer, instead of being taken out and
buried I; and when thus taken ont, ii is often
placed on the surface of the ground, instead
Of beneath It. The inscription Is always on
the end Of the coffin, instead Of on top.
They wear white for mourning, instead OF
black At funerals'w women must weep, even
If they are not grieged men must not, il
they are. More lanterns are carried at the
time of the full moon that any other. +.
Among us, young men and young women
choose for themselves and do their own
courting, when they become grown land
sometimes before6 in China, this is all done
for them by their parents while they are in
fants. With US, ladies have the preference;
twith them, gentlemen. We educate and
honor our wives, sisters and daughters, and
bring them forward in society; they degrade
theirs, keep them in ignorance and out of
sight. Women have their feet always bound;
their waists, never. The circumference OF
their dress is greatest at the waist and least
at the ankles. They wear their breast-pins on
the forehead. The young lady goes to the
residence Of her betrothed to be married, and
she walls and weeps along the whole way TO
her wedding. They always have feastings
and music at funerals. --.5. ,..--.t :.

REMARKABLE DECLINE OF THE CALIFORNIA
TRADE.-In no department of commerce has
there been so great decline shown as in the
California trade for the past year, and es-
pecially since January, 1860. New York,
that used to send her eight or ten ships per
month, now sends three or four, and Boston
averages now about two a month, instead of
four, as formerly. In March, 1860, Boston
sent one, in June one, in August one, in
other months three, making an average Of
about two per month. Such is the condition
and depression of the San Francisco markets,
that even now we send too many ships, and
two a month, or one each from Boston and
New York, would be ample to supply all de-
mands from that quarter. t-' ~ =
Six months hence, when the great de-
preston at San Francisco has passed off, and
the stocks of goods now there have been con-
sumed, not speculated upon and stored we
may look for revival of this important
business, which now for nearly two years
has been so unfortunate to Atlantic shippers
California, with each succeeding year, will
need less and less of our bulky articles, such
as provisions and breadstuffs, and shipments
should be regulated accordingly. As the
State grows It will become one of the
principal markets for our manufactures, &c.

The PRINCE OF WALES PASSION FOR
WALTzrNG-HE FALLS Down AND DRAes HIS
PARTNER AFTER HM.-The New York Her
aid correspondent says of the ball at Quebec;
The Prince opened the ball with Madame
Langevin and Mrs. Justice Curran vis-d-vis.
The Prince wore his usual uniform. Miss
Irvine, daughter of Colonel Irvine, was the
Princes second partner for a polka. She
was dressed in q magnificent white dress,
with wreaths of flowers. The Prince was in
great good humor, and talked with every
body who wore uniform, especially a little
MILDLY, who will be the Tommy Of the suite
when they reachlNe York. The little MILDLY
generally chooses the largest women for
partners, and the contrast seems to give pc
culiar delight to the Prince. i.f- s,a =
The Prince danced twenty-five out of
twenty-four dances. He missed one, being
at supper, and the other because he had
started for the supper-room. He came back
hearing a sweet waltz playing, and while
dancing waltz he slipped and fell heavily
on the floor, dragging his partner, Madame
Cartier, the wife Of the Canadian Premier,
over him. Neither of them was injured, and
the Prince instantly jumped up, and raised
the lady SO quickly that but few in the room
knew Of the occurrence. He apologized to
Madame o., and continued the dance.

NUMEROUS New INvENrroxs OF MACHINERY
In speaking of newly-invented machinery

NUMEROUS New INvENTIoNs OF MACHINERY
In speaking of newly-invented machinery,
the Boston Transcript says: .--i-ll l'9-as
The Mechanics Exhibition Of the present
year bids fair TO excel all others in the ex-
tensiyevariety of new machinery offered for
premium. II is now four years since the
last industrial exhibition was held in Boston,
and the interval of time has permitted a
great exercise of the inventive genius of the
country. This talent has been revealed in a
luxurious growth of useful and valuable inn
plements, many of which are intended to
take from labor its heaviest burthens, and
to- expedite the the manufacture Of many
useful and ornamental articles, which are
produced at lower rates, and thereby find
purchasers in new markets.
3 The managers of the exhibition have
notices from the inventors and manufacture
ers of about 100 machines, for many of which
steam power will be required. The number
of sewing machines already entered is about
thirty, comprising qnite recent invention,
not before exhibited. The machines for the
manufacture of boots and shoes are both new
and numerous, and the progress of invention
applied to the mechanical arts will probably
be as much shown in this as in any depart
ment Of the exhibition. Applications have
been received for the display and working
Of machines for printing, book-folding,
turning. nail-cutting and bolting-for the
making of embroidery and button-holes-
for washing, wringing and mangling. is.l

SCARCITY OF Provisions AMONG THE CHoc-
TAws.-The Fort Worth (Texas) Chief states
that 'the Choctaws are about tocall on the
General Government for assistance 10 pro-
cure provisions for the people of the Nation,
as their crops have almost entirely been de-
stroyed by the drouth. We learn from good
authority that there win not be corn enough
raised in the whole Nation to last them until
Christmas, and as the appropriation of the
money due the Nation failed in Congress last
session, they are going to appeal to the Gov
ernment for assistance in some shape to keep
them from starvation" - Z

RorE.wAIKna FOR A HUMANE pUnposn-

RoPE-WALKNa FOR HUMANE PURposE---
A BOYS LIFE SAVED BY A HERoIc CARPEs-
TER.-The Buffalo IN. W Republic gives the
following account of an extraordinary ex-
plot performed by John Stickell, a carpen-
ter, who is engaged in building mill: The
building, brick structure, was up to the
square,; number of neighbors, perhaps
several hundred, had collected TO assist in
raising timbers; arope was stretched across
the building, near the middle, for some pur-
pose or other; Stickell was on the brick wall
near the rope, and young man in his en-
ploy was on the wall at the opposite side of
the building, at the end of the rope; the
young man fell, and in falling caught the
rope, but was not able to raise himself and,
if some one had not hastened to his relief he
would have fallen sixty-two feet, into cog
pit, over which he was suspended. The
crowd who witnessed the young mans peril
seemed 'paralyzed. Stickell's attention was
directed to the young mans situation by the
murmur of awe from those below him, when,
without q moments hesitation, and without
balance-pole, he fearlessly walked the en-
tire length Of the mill on the rope, over the
sixty-two feet chasm, and rescued the young
man from an awful fate, amid the rapturous
shouts of all present. as1s ! 6h .rlsfas

A MIscHrEyous MONKEY OoMM1rs Sn1nrnz,

n A MIsoHIEvous MONKEY COMMITS SUICIDE.
AT Rochester, N. Y, q man named Shay has,
for week or two past, had on exhibition a
collection Of monkeys, snakes and sea-dogs.
One of these monkeys, named Jack, was a
miscbievous fellow, and IL required all the
caution of the proprietor to keep him out OF
trouble. A group of animals, called the
Happy Family, are kept in the show-win-
making it air-tight; and the family were
thus left on Saturday night. Jack was up
to his tricks, and some time during the night
got to the gas pendant and turned on the
gas, and on the proprietor looking after the
family yesterday morning, he discovered the
monkey dead; he had been suffocated. The
rest Of the monkeys were very sick, but they
recovered after air being admitted to them.
