of the Government in throwing an extra

CHINEsEAND AMERICANs.-Dr. Clarke,
in the atlantic lMonthfy, gives an amusing
account of the difference between us and
the Chinese in many social customs. lie
says: fesq .se irhi q ~.ad :! -
In boxing compass, they say west-north
instead of northwest, cast-south instead OF
southeast, and their compass needle points
south Instead of north. Their soldiers
wear quilted pctticoats, satin boots and
bead necklaces, carry umbrellas and fans,
and 20 to night attack with lanterns in
their hands, being more afraid of the dark
than of exposing themselves tothe enemy.
The people are very fond Of fireworks,
but prefer to have thcu in the day time.
Ladies' ride in wheelbarrows. and cows are
driven in carriages. While in Europe the
feet are put in socks, in China the socks,
are hung around the neck. In China the
family name comes first, and the personal
name afterward Instead of saying 1}cnja-
min Franklin or Waiter Scott, they would
say Franklin Benjamin or Scott Walter.
In the recent war with the English, the
mandarins or soldiers would sometimes run
away, and then commit suicide to avoid
punishment. In getting on horse the
Chinese mount on the right side. Their
old men fly kites, while their little boys
look on. The left hand is the side Of
honor, and to keep on your hat is sign Of
respect Visiting cards are painted red,
aud are four feet long. Their boats are
drawn by men, but their carriages are
moved by sails. ga ef ,7eE..f ~

no shining metal was seen on the streets.
Indeed, the actual gold is seldom seen.
The Gold Exchange Bank has that locked
up in its vaults, or something else to rep
resent it. This bank, however, issued
gold certificates on the demand Of the
dealers. That is, Brown Il johnson, on
the settlement Of days business at the
Clearing house-which was this Gold Ex-
change Bank had s250,000 in gold due

issue to them a certificate Of deposit for
the amount Of gold That certificate was
rcdeemablc by the bank in gold on demand,
and was, therefore, as good as gold, besides
being much more convenient to handle
and carry about. l...

IOANING GOLD.

The clique that created the late furorc
in the market commenced operations long
before the crisis came. They had been
purchasing gold for more than week at
prices running from 1872 to 1875. at which
the bulk of their purchases were made.
This gold they loaned as fast as they
bought it, requiring the borrowers to put
up margin as security equivalent to the
current price of the metal When they
had S30oN00,0 900 or S4O0, 900. 900 thus
loaned out, they began to ''bull" the mar
ket-that is, advance the price of gold.
This was accomplished by bidding high
cr price than tho gold was selling for, and
occasionally buying lots at high prices, in
order to establish a market price and Sc
cure quotations. All gold so bought was
loaned again as quickly as borrowers could
be found. As fast at the price advanced
they called for additional margins on their
loans. until finally the price reached 100,
to which figure they called in all their mar
gins, then pocketcd the proceeds and left
the street, thus virtually forcing the gold
OFT on to the hands Of the borrowers at that
high price. r.... ...

RuBIEs WoHTm MORE THAN DlA--
MoNDs.-It surprises many to learn that
the ruby is valued more highly than the
diamond. One exchange says: .7yIpaH
We generally speak of the diamond as
the most valuable of gems, but this is not
really the case. The ruby is the most
valuable, but it depends for its rarity upon
its color. The ruby is the next hardest
thing to the diamond 1t is found princi-
pally in the East. Siam, and Ccylon afford
the most plentiful supplies. Ia, H.. i,
Tn Burmah, the finding of one Of these
Jewels is made a state event; the grandces
of the empire go out to meet it, with elc-
plants and all the grandeur of Eastern
state. There arc many shades of red, but
the most approved and commanding the
highest price, is that Of tho pigeons
blood" ~ .. ''f 'i
The ruby, in common with many other
precious stones, had magical properties at
tributcd to it by the ancients; indeed, We
do not doubt that in the East the supersti-
tious ideas connected with it as rife as ever.
a Our ancestors believed that it was a pre-
servativc against evil thoughts, and that
much dreaded thing of oldr--poison.. It
kept the wearcr safe from all evil spirits,
and what was moro, its sanitary power was
held to be so great that he was said never
to suffer in bodily health.
Moreover, it was supposed to be endowed
with certain occult intelligence. TWAS
believed that the gem darkcned when dan
ger awaited a person, and grew bright
again When danger had passed away. The
King Of Burmah, one of whose title is that
of Lord of Rubies, has one the size Of q
pigeons egg. Aa @'sfi aa ta'p sa
The value of these gems goes on increas-
ing at much higher ratio than that Of
the diamond. When its weight is as much
as four carats, its value varies from four
hundred to five hundred and fifty pounds,
sum more than double that Of a diamond

There's much in namo, aud the object of
this note is 10 suggest through YOUR ~oiumns, to
Mr. Chadwick, the p,opriety OF christening bis
great work the Charleston Academy Of Music.
The reasons are obvious. Chief among them
ID this that with 80 many conveniences of q
public character within its walls, the building
will, undoubtedly, be selected for va
riety Of purposes. There may be eve
ming soirees, musical entertainments, and,
possibly, sermons. Our German musical
societies may, during the winter, be
induced to favor the community with one or
more exhibitions of art and taste. In the
course Of time school Of design for ladies.
similar to that Of the Cooper Institute, New
York, may be inaugurated, and the Academy OF
Music, with its ample accommodations would
be fitting and characteristic place for it's es-
tablishment.
Indeed. the opera and the drama are but two
in the catalogue of objects to which the build
ing may be applied, and hence the suggestion
of generic and comprehensive name? Shall
it be 30, MIR. Chadwick
If yea, let it be christened in an appro-
pirate address by one Of our leading citizens,
