CHINESE New YEAR.-Our Celestial population
have been celebrating their New Year during the
past week. They dohned their best clothes, and
wore happy and smiling faces, and appea red much
more lively and steady than large portion OF the
American race on regular Christian New Year S

appropriately celebrate SO many New Years days
as do the Chinese. They have celebrated nearly
the entire week, and the sweet savory incense of

IxroRrNG Goops.-Some Of our merchants are
perfecting arrangements for the importation of
goods direct from Paris, and other points in Eu-
rope, a. well as from New York, thus cutting of
the iobbing and wholesale tariffs now levied in San
Francisco When the inevitable march of i'm
pro vements shall thrust the iron railroad track
from New York down the Feather river canon, our
people will begin to realize the difference between
the advantages of their natural business location,
and the position of "cat'spaw, in which they have
too long been placed merely for the purpose of haul
ing congressional and gubernatoria chestnuts from
the fire. Whatever advantages Northern California
has possessed have been traded of for official posi-
lions for ambitious politicians, who disregard its
interest for the advancement of their own.

A Maternal GoBBLER.-It is related to US as a
fact that turkey gobber belonging to Mrs. Fisher,
Of Rube's Ranch, on wyman's Ravine, sat upon
nest Of chicken eggs Matched them out and reared
brood Of chickens, last summer. This old gobber
must have had the ambition of imam milliner,
or his ideas OF economy would not permit him to
see the raw material go to waste. 1t has been
generally understood that the male turkey, in
wild state, is naturally disposed to destroy instead
of rearing its own young. If the gobbler was not
disguised with his progeny. his brood must have
entertained some exalted ideas Of their parent,
when he chose to spread himself.

NEW Southern Generals, their lives and
campo igns," by Parker Snow, is the title work
Just issued, and for which the agent 7. E. London,
is now canvassng the county. 1t is doubtless an
interesting work for those who would make heroes
of the crazy leaders of the defunct rebellion, who
preferred war, with its miseries and devasations,
and its suhjugation. to the blessings and prosperity
conferred by peaceful Union. The living heroes
of the work may look abroad upon nations pros
perity interrupted and REDEEMED by the torch of
war, upon desolated South, and upon a wreck of
States, and feel if they can, the honor they have
achieved from the wide spread ruin and desolation
they wrought. 1t will probably be regarded by the
the more thoughtful and serious, with feelings
akin to those with which they regard the Book of
Criminals" or the history of Guy Fawkes;' and
by others, as they regard the play of "Bombastes
Furso' or history Of '.IIigh Life below Stairs"
If we wished to learn to detest the Government
tabshed by our fathers and the land of our birth,
we might, perhaps, peruse this work. and gaze on
the portraits that embelsh it, until the springs of
patriotism dry, and until We could curse those
who placed the ballot in the hands of men, and
split our Threats hurrahing for Benedict Arnold
and General Lee and his Lieutenants.
