John Chinaman in California.
BY SAMUEL BowLEs.

The ever-present Chinese will pique our
curiosity, We must look into their homes,
compact, simple, yet not over clean or
sweet'smelhng quarters, into their res
taurants and their theatre, if it is in opera-
tion, and into their "Josh Houses -
Their stores invite us with open doors,
and tempt our pockets with all the various
specialtes of Chinese manufacture ut
reasonable prices. A few are men of
stature and presence, with faces of refine
ment and gentle strength the many go
sneaking about their work, "a low type
of mankind, physically and mentally, i'm
ported here like merchandise, and let out
to labor under system only half removed
from slavery itself. Yet they are an i'm
portant element in the industry and prog
ress of all this side of the continent. But
for their labor the Pacific Railroad would
have been at least two years longer in
building. Twelve thousand of them have
done nearly all the picking and drilling
and shoveling and wheeling of the rosl,
from Sacramento TO Salk Lake. They
furnish the principal labor in the factorie- :
they make cigars they dig and work over
neglected gold gluches they are cooks :
they almost nonopolize the clothes wash-
ing and ironing in all the lighter and
simpler departments of labor, where fidel-
ity to a pattern, and not hexlbility and
originality Of action are required, they
make the best and most reliable Of workers.
At least seveniy,fve thousand of fthem are
scattered over these Pacific States, west
of Utah and though our American and
European laborers quarrel with and abuse
them though the law gives them no
rights, but that of suffering punishment;
though they bring no families, and seek
no citizenship; though all their women
here are not only commercial, but expressly
imported as such though they are mean

manners though they are despised and
kicked about on every hand still they

Within the vesper,s solemn glow 81
Its echoes llnper late and long.
To bid lifes music upward flow
In tides of grateful praise and song
A benedlction for the soul
Lives in thy purely swelling tone,
Peace when earths chilling tempests roll
And grief above the spirit flown.
Oh ancient bell, how dear thou art
My childhood found spell In thee,
The prayer to chain within my heart
Repeated at my mothers kneei
I've heard thy cali at silvery morn.
And goldenly at set of sun,
Have watched the splre above thee burn
To point to rest the good have won.1
I've heard thy victory notes resound
When martial plumes were waving high,
Thy knell of sadness DER the mound
Where wasted forms of beauty lie,
I've caught thy merry festive chimes
When hearts were gay beside the board,
And hopeful seen the hand Of time
Ring out the years with plenty stored
And when stern grief my spirit bowed
In loss Of fond parental care,
Thy plying moon swept DER the cloud,
And filled with tears the trembling air.

OUR national AIRs.-Not one of the
three national airs of the United Statse is
strictly an original American composition.
Their history is not in every case fully as
certained, but i. somewhat as follows
''Yankee Doodle"is said by most critics to
have been the composition Of an English
physician, and to date back to the French
ware, when it was composed in derision Of
the appearance Of the volunteers from the
colonies, who assisted the British regulars.
BY others il said to date as far back as the
time of Cromwell. Il was certainly
known in England before tn. American
revolution, and was sung in derision Of the
BostCnians by the soldiers who garrisoned
that city. But the laug h turning 10 the
other side at the retreat of Concord and
Lexington, and the people thus inargura-
ting the revolt, made the troops dance
their way back to the same tune their
band had played rs they marched. Since
that time the air has been national one,
and American hearts have exultingly re-
sponded to it III every age and all lands.
The music ofthe "Star Spangled Banner
is an old English air, once bearing the IT,
tie, we believe, of "Anacreon in Heaven. .
Robert Treat Paine adapted to this air one
of lis popular songs, "Adams and Liber,
ty," during the life of Washington, one
verse of which was in praise of the Father
of his Country. But it was not until H.
IL that Francis Scott Key, then young
lawyer, composed the present words in re-
membrance of the bombardment of Fort
McHenry, when Baltimore was besieged
by the British feet. The sight of the na'
tiona banner proudly floating amid the
carnage and destruction Of the attack in.
spring the refrain, which has given the
title to the song The words of "Hail
Columbia" were written in l79S by Judge
Joseph Hopkinson, one Of the signers Of
the declaration of independence, to what
was called the "President's March," an air
composed by a German named Foyles, on
the occasion of visit from the President
to one of the New York theatres. fla

NOT AT II o NJ E

An elderly man, shabbily attired, was
seen walking through one of the fashiona-
BILE streets in large city, one cold De-
cember morning, supported by a large
staff which he firmly grasped in one hand,
while from his other swung his bundle
wrapped in coarse cotton handkerchief.
His coat was of coarse grey, and had evi
deutly seen hard service, though perfectly
whole and neat. The traveller walked
slowly along, examining carefully the
names on the door plates. He finally
paused before dwelling of snowy exter-
ior, which, if we credit The testimony of
the plate upon the door, was occupied by
Alexander Beaumont.
Alexander Beaumont yes, that's the

as he ascended the stairs and rang the
door bell.
