WHO'S FOR CHINA2-Twelve days more
and the first steamship for China-and
a fine specimen ola steamer she is-will
leave our wharves for the port of Hong
kong, thus inaugurating q line that is
destined to grow rapidly in Importance,
until it will be scarcely second to that
between this port and Panama. We do
not look for n large freight or passenger
list this time. AL that will come in
good season-quicker, too, than some
of the croakers think for. What the
line can do in point Of time and other
respects must first be seen, and it will
take one or two voyages before the ben
efts of the new route can be determined.
When the public becomes posted, and
the traveller and merchant discover how
much they will profit by the new enter
prise, there will not be wanting passen-
gers enough to fill the staterooms,
freight to stowe in the hold, or treasure
for the stronghold. John Chinaman
will patronize the new line; Japanese
will do likewise; Americans, of course,
will "try it on" and, reader, whether
you believe it or not, John Bull will,
before long, ever with all his prejudices,
give it the preference, and when he does
the Suez route will 60 n begging. 1t
may not be policy to be so sanguine;
we may be laughed at therefor, but
wait a while-twelve months will de-
eide the matter, and then let those who
look upon the black side Of everything,
decide if we were far wrong in our cal
culations.-S. +. Alta, Dec. 20th.

BEyEvoLEScE.-Such is the law Of
humanity that the very powers which
enable a wise and good man to accumu-
late largely, seem also to prompt him to
engage in the practice of the opposite
virtue, that of giving with equal pru-
dence, wisdom and liberality. The
same sagacity and discretion in such q
character that fits for the one fits also
for the best discharge of the other. The
improvement and ripening Of a mans
own faculties, the preparation of his
W character for immortality, and for
being looked up to as q useful example
as friend to man after he is gone, are
intimately connected with being thus
his own executor while he lives. He
who is cultivating the benevolent de-
sires of his own nature is ever rising in
the scale of being. He leaves behind
all that is low, carnal and quarrelsome,
and breathes a higher atmosphere than
the low, the selfish and the base can en-
ter. He leads others upward by a holy
example, emulation and imitation Of
what they see to be q wise, sage and
successful model. II is in giving that
we are most like Him in whose image
We are created, and who ever occupies
himself in comforting wise and useful
blessings on us all as are fit and able to
receive them, without injury. This
surely is the very essence of Christianity
and Of His example who went about do
ing good.

SACRAMENTO STILL RIsINa.-The 81

SACRAMENTO STILL RIsING.-The Sac
ramento river had at 6 o'clock last even
ing attained the hight of about twenty
three feet above low water mark, the
advance within the past twenty-four
hours being Fourteen inches. The river
rose twelve inches between 8 o'clock A.
". and 6 o'clock P. NJ, or at the rate OF
one inch per hour. The hight at 6
o'clock in the evening was six inches
above the food mark Of December 9,
1861, and within twelve inches Of that
of January 10, ls62-the highest water
ever known since the settlement Of the
State by Americans. 1t is fortunate for
US that the American river has subsidized
and is quite quiet, as the volume Of
water brought down by it a few days
ago, piled upon twenty-three feet in the
Sacramento, might subject US to great
inconvenience, on account Of its ten
dency to spread out. When the Marys-
vile boat left that city yesterday, the
Feather and Yuba rivers were falling.
The present rise in the river at this
point comes from the upper Sacramento.
A heavy rain fell ut Colfax yesterday
and probably in other portions of the
mountains.-Sae. Union, 25h.

EDITORIAL CURIosIrrEs.-In Evans
vile, Indiana, there are two papers who
quarrel somewhat after the fashion of
the Eatanswill style. The Journal says:
The exposure, by our correspondent,
of the pitiful cowardics Of the contemp-
tible braggart who edits the Courier, is
really what's the matter.
To which the Courier ~rejoins:
We do not intend to be led into any
newspaper controversy with the three
dogs who edit the Journal; but we will,
nevertheless, say here that the writer
of the above is a liar, a sneak, a thief,
and one Of the most arrant towards who
ever thrust his low, thieying person into
the company of gentlemen.

TERRIBLE FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE

TERRIBLE FIRE AND Loss OF LITE.-
About 5 o'clock this morning a fire
broke out at the Central House, on
First street, between Mission and Minna
streets, in q two-story wooden building
occupied as q clearinghouse. Before
the lodgers-most Of whom were labor
ing men-could get out Of the building,
the whole mass Of its dry materials was
in q blaze, and many of them perished-
how many is not at this time known.
Three charred and unrecognizable re-
mains of human beings were taken out
of the ruins up to 6 o'clock this morn
ing. Richard 0'Donnell, a native Of
Ireland, aged l9, James Mclaughlin,
and n other, unknown, are at the
dead house. One man, Malloy, aged
65, jumped from the second story win
dow, and sustained such injuries that
he died from the effects about noon.
Another man died from the effects Of
injuries received by jumping out of the
window; his name is not known. The
full particulars will be given in the NOR
ming edition. The building was the
property of q man named Pat. Killen.-
s, r. Times, Gath.

THE Mourn GEMS TuSNEL.-The rock
boring machines that are boring the
Mount Gents Tunnel, it is estimated,
will have to drill 1900, 900 holes before
that work is completed. The total
depth Of these holes will be 1885, 800
feet, or los times the length of the tun-
mel, and to drill them, nearly 3,ooO,-
900, 900 blows will have to be struck by
the perforators. The entrance to the
tunnel on the French side is 3945 feet
above the level of the sea, and on the
Italian side 1880 feet.

III SOUTHERN STATES. Nearly all
the Southern State Legislatures have
met and received messages from their
respective Governors. These documents
universally speak of a gloomy condition
Of sffairs; Of m impoverished people; of
Q lack Of food in many sections; of i'm
pending destitution; Of a scarcity of
labor, agricultural implements, and
money of people emigrating to the
North; and, we are sorry to say, Of hos
tility to the Northern section of the
country, and opposition to the Coustitu-
tional Amendment, which, taken alto
sethsr, are as m~Ournful a set of public
documents as we have perused for many
day.

SOUTHERN MEDICAL SCHOOLS. - The
Medical College Of Alabama had been
put in repair, and the professors were
on hand to attend to their duties, but
they had not students enough to justify
opening the institution for the winter
SESSION. So many Southern students
prefer the Northern schools, that the
medical colleges throughout the South
are barely paying expenses. There are
two colleges in operation in New Or
leans, -one in Louisville, q in Nash
vile, one in Charleston, and another ia
Atlanta.

THE END OF A FRENCH EL%oPBMENT.-
Such a story of love and wholesale sui
eide as this could have originated only
in France:
N. de R, having acquired a for
tune in business, retired to q handsome
property he possessed near Fontainc-
bleau. Soon after, his daughter Julie,
twenty-one years of age, was asked in
marriage by q gentleman of the neigh
borhood, and in spite Of her opposition
and avowed repugnance, the wedding
took place. In the evening the bride
was missed, and the result of the re-
searches made was only to find that the
groomsman, who had been a friend of
the young lady's from infancy, had like
wise disappeared. The father, like
every one else, believed in an elope-
ment, and all the usual means were en-
ploSed to trace the fugitives, but unsuc-
cessfully. This occurred FIVE years ago,
and NJ. de R, having lately pur-
chased some adjoining property on
which was a quarry long out of use, set
some men to work, who found at the
bottom of an old excavation two skele-
tons, which, from the remains of the
clothes and the jewels, were recognized
as the missing bride and her lover.

The number of peace treaties which
have been signed in the last 200 years
is said to be 1905; and it is also a re-

begins with the statement that the peace
hereby declared shall be enduring and
last forever.

An aspirant for the United States
Senate, we are authoritatively informed,
is attempting TO secure the written
pledges of the Legislators elect of Storey
county to support him in the coming cleo
ton or place themselves entirely under
his direction. f0rdiuarily, the manhood Of
a competent legislator revolts at the
instructions of a Convention, even when
in accordance with the wishes of his
constituents, and we have a better opin-
ion Of the members elect from Storey
than to believe them capable of the
abasement of placing themselves at the
service of any one under the sanctity OF
their own Enterprise Of this
morning.
Name him. Any man who will cxtort
such a pledge is unworthy to occupy
the place of u representative of a free
people; and any legislator who will sign
such q ''rope round his neck" is not fit to
receive the confidence Of a loyal con-
stituency. We voted and worked for
the whole Legislative ticket in Storey
county, at the last election, but we did
not vote nor work for the candidates to
be orned or controlled by any n a
If we know anything of the Union party
of Storey-and we know it quite we'll
we believe this is its sentiment. Sign
ing a pledge! Well, this is the last
Senatorial dodge.

SENATOR NYE.-Mr. Nye returned to

the engagement to meet his Esmeralda
friends, he left Carson City last Thurs
day, during the raging storm, when the
weather was not fit for man o beast to

fcation such as the Humboldt Register
is iinging at him; and he will be able to
ride triumphantly through the balloting
ordeal of reelection to the Senatorship.

SHARP-sHooTING.

About the best thing We have seen
in the Eastern Slope, (brother Lewis
paper ut Washoe City, is the follow
ing keen shot at the Humboldt Register,
for having come out since the election
against the reelection Of Senator Nye.
Just read the following:
"The Humboldt Register, and brother
Forbes, though a politician, is not a
fool, despite his efforts to make himself
out one, in its last issue pitches Senator
Nye out of the ring, declaring that the
charges preferred by aspirant belong
have never been disposed of, and that
inasmuch as Senator Nye has not been
true TO his friends, treason to principle
is justi6able, the best interests Of the
State may be ignored, and the will of
the people disregarded. There is not a
sane man in the State that believes any
such thing, and Forbes is sane, if a man
can be said TO be sane who wontonly
lays himself open to the suspicion of
bribery and corruption, if man a be
deemed SAINT who so publicly announces
his intentions to thwart the will Of the
very people on whom he depends for his
support"
As the entire Union Press Of the State
has been, and is yet, favorable to the
reelection of Senator Nye-and there
not being a single n to abuse him,
until very recently, are we to infer from
the foregoing inuendo of brother Lewis,
that Some one of the Senator's friends
has hired the Register to abuse him ?
Certainly no man has ever yet been
elected a United States Senator who has
not been soundly abused by the news
papers and the politicians. 1t may pos
sibly be that this great lack-that Of
being soupdly abused-was the only
thing ueedful to ensure the success OF
Nye beyond a peradventure. Hu NOSE ?
