OF THE CARSON BRANCH MINT the Enter
prise says: " We are informed that the ma
chinery for the Branch Mint at Carson has
arrived at San Francisco, and that it will be
brought over the mountains at once, if pos
sible. Col. Curry has gone to California
for the purpose of expediting its shipment
The building is all ready for the immediate
putting up of the machinery, and there is no
red tape in the way of an early opening Of
the Mint to business. A check has been re-
ceived, drawn by the Sub-Treasuref at San
Francisco for $50, $40, so that all bills can be
met, and no delay need occur for want of
funds. The opening of our Branch Mint
will form an era in the history Of Nevada.
1t will enable US to turn our own vast silver
and gold product into coin, and economic to
our people the considerable loss in exchange,
which we have had heretofore to bear. In
stead of being dependent on California for
our round pieces, California will hereafter be
indebted to u.s. And the Gold Hill News
says: THE steamship Colorado, which ar
rived at San Francisco on Tuesday, brought
600 packages of machinery, portion Of
which is intended for the new mint at Carson

JAPANESE CARPENTERS AND THEIR Tools.
-Japanese carpenters-a number Of whom
have been exhibiting their skill in fitting up
the stage Of San Francisco theatre for a COM
pany Of gymnasts from Yedo-haye an advan-
tage over American mechanics in the fact that
they have four hands instead eli two, their toes
being as handy as their fingers, but they gain
nothing by it, because they make no use Of
rk-benches or'vices. If Japanese carpenter
wants to sharpen saw, be squats on his hams.
places the back o. the tool to be operated upon
on the grouud, grips one end O. the saw with
his left hand, seizes the other With the toes OF
his right foot and goes to work with as much
confdenc as a Yankee carpente- at bench.
Their tools are not like American tools, though
they have faint similarity, showing that all
tools have a common parentage, whether their
inventor was Tubal Cain OK some other artlticer.
All Japanese saws are shaped Like a butcher s
cieaver. The handle is like the handle OF q
clesveT, but tattish, ss i whitfield out OF
piece Of inch-board, the metal shank OF the saw
is driven int that CT the handle, and the whole
is secured by being wrapped with fine split
cane. The metal o. their saw IS about the
substance Of our saws, but the teeth are mar

much Longer. They are all pointed towards

he places il across anything that viii elevate
the end few inches, then stands on the wood
and cuts it by seisine the cleayer-looking saw
and pulling It towards him. Thus, by num-
Der Of short, quick. up strokes, he gets through
plank not so speedily but quite as afectually,
as an American carpenter would with the long,
low down strokes Of the rip saw. The planes
are small, with single irons, and no handles
The planes are shorter, lighter, and the wood
shallower than ours, being generally not more
than an inch deep. To plane piece Of wood
they lay it on the ground, squat on their hams,
hold it fast with their toes, and work the plane
with both hands towards them. To drill a hole
they have short awl, inserted in the end Of q
round stick eight or nine inches long. They
take wooe between their toes, squat as before,
and make the hole by rubbing the handle Of the
awl between their hands, in less time than one
Of our carpenters could drill with gilnle.. Their
hammers are solid cylindrical pieces, not made
shapey with waists and graceful outlines like
ours They have the same tat-sided handles as
the saws. The Jsps have iron squares, not an
like American squares, marked with degrees
Their measures are brass, very light, and tuted.

with us, s one and three -sixteenths inches, and

different scale measuring ono and .hirteen-six-

pF- Massachusetts has recently negotiated
a loan Of three million dollars for twenty
years at four per cent. per annum. The Ma,
tienal Government pays six per cent. gold,
and our bonds are taken cautiously at that.
in other words, the United States pays six
per cent. gold for one thousand dollars of
currency-Massachuset can for four per
cent. gold borrow one thousand dollars in
gold. Now this two per cent. loss in inter
est, and twenty-five or thirty per cent. loss
in the principle, accurately represents the
influence of the presence of the Democratic
party in the country. In the Bay State the
Democracy is substantially unknown. As
an element Of power it has 10 meaning

cial honor and credit Of Massachusetts would
be resented similarly to an aspersion on the
virtue OF ene's wife or daughter. Repudia-
ton there is treason, and regulators are
looked on as traitors, and we see the result.
We, as nation, are paying dear for the be-

Virtue in Man.

We love to believe there is more moral
goodness than depravity in human nature
When we see one tear of pity drop from
the eye, 1t gives us more pleasure than
would the 6ndiD. of diamond There
is goodness, real aud uusei6sh. in the
heart; and we have often seen it mani
fest itself, to the making of a scene of
sorrow the vestibulc OF heaven For him
who is always picking out flaws in his
nelghbor character. We have no sympa-
thy. lie reminds Us of those birds which
resort to dead and decayed limbs of trees
TO feast on the worms In the character
of most meu we shall fud more good
than evil, more kindness than hate; and
why should we pick out the flaws and
pass over the sterling traits of his charac-
teri We hold this to be the true doe
trine; to portray real goodness, aud hold
1t up to the gaze and admiration of all
while We suffer the evil to remain in the
shade aud die. If every picture of hu
man nature were only pure and beautiful.
we are inclined to believe that We should
have thousands OF such characters living
