John Chinaman In California.

The ever-present Chinese will piqueouE
curiosity. We must look into their homes
compact, simple, yet not over clean or
sweet-smelling quaters-into their restau-
rants and their theater, it is not in opera
ton, and into their Josh houses. Their
stores invite us with open doors, and tempt
our pockets with all the vsrious specialties
Of Chinese manufacture at reasonable pri-
ces. A few are men of stature and presence.

strength the many go sneaking about

ically and mentally, imported here Ike

in the industry and progress Of all on this

Dor the Pacific Railroad would have been
at least two yeare longer in building.
Twelve thousand of them have done near
ly all the picking and drilling and shoy-
cling and wheeling of the road, FROM
Sacramento to Salt Lake. They furnish
the principal labor in the factories they
make cigars they dig and work over
neglected gold gulches they are cooks;
ing and ironing; in all the lighter dnd SIM
pier departments of labor, where fidelity
to pattern, and not fexibility and orig
inality of action are required, they make
the best and most reliable of workers. At.
least seventy-fve thousand of them are
scattered over these Pacific States, vest
of Utah and though our American
and European laborers quarrel with and
abuse them though the law gives NO,
rights, but that Of suffering punishment !;
though they bring no families, and seek
no citizenship though all their women.

Intellectual Ability of the Chinese.

In recent public meeting at Boston,
DR.. Hedge quoted remark Of Sir Fred
erick Bruce to Senator Sumner, to the
effect that the Emperors ministers at
Pekin, when he was English ambassador
there, were the superiors in ability of any
European cabinet. "What, said Me-.
Simmer, +" do yon mean to say that Lord
Palmerston, Lord Derby and Mr.. Glad
stone have their snperiors in the Chinese
cabinet ?" at is not for me to make such
personal comparison, said Sir FredeH-
lex, but repeat what said, that have
not met European statesmen who were the
equal ofthe Chinese ministers. 'Dr Martin,
professor in the college at Pekin, and
translator of Wheaton's work on interna-
tional law into Chinese, corroborated this
anecdote by saying that Sir Frederick
told him, in regard to the Emperor's
Prime Minister, that he had never met o
man that wasfatrly his superior in intellec-
tual ability.

They told her they were Ku-Klux and
could drink barrel Of water at once,
and kill her by cutting her throat. Said
they were Yankees the Yankees had
given her liberty, and they were taking
it again. Some proposed to kill her, but
they finally determined to lay her across
the railroad track, saying the cars would
run over her. They put her on the track,
but she was able to crawl off. She wan

Silk Msnufacture:in oalifornis

The silk. business has been commence
ed in earnest in California, but it has
not yet reached the steady working basis.
We say "silk business" though little silk
has yet been made. We have got as far
as the trees and eggs, and they have been
produced under the stimulus of a large
bounty by the State In 1867 persons
who had opportunity Of knowing the facts
reported that there were 4, 200, 900 mulber.
~ trees in the state; and since then there
has been lively demand fos cuttings, and
in some neighborhoods every tree has fur
nished on an average three cuttings each
year, and if all the trees of the state had
furnished as many, we should now have
81, 100000 in all. It is safe to say that we
have 30,000,000 though with few excep-
tions they are rather in nursery than in
proper plantation. Half of them, per.
haps three forths, will have to be taken
up and re-plantad or thrown away; but
the remainder will furnish food for q
multitude of worms enough to put Cali
fornia in a respectable place among the
silk producing countries. The state boun-
ty for every mulberry plantation, and the
demand for cuttings, have given stimu-
lus to the mulberry nursery business
San Francisco Alta.

A Paris letter-writer says: "On the
morning of his quitting the Grand Hotel
for London, the Nabob of Bengal paid
for three coats Of Russian sable made for
himself and his three sons the cold
weather to which he is SO unaccustomed
having rendered warm garments necessa-
~. The bill for these furs amounted to
10000 francs, that is $21 900. His high
ness paid the bill without shesitation.
Black sable of Russia is expensive. The
set of this fur presented by the EDper-
or of Russia to Patti, during her recent
visit to st. Petersburg, is valued at 5000
guineas.

Much has been written about the men
tai peculiarities of Prince Tallyrand. The
academician, M. St. Beuve, in late stu
dy, gives the following curious details
on the physiology of the Prince:
He had singular faculty of sleeping
but little He passed the night at cards or
in talking. He rarely went to bed before
4 in the morning, and yet was up again at
an early hour. His pulse had the singu
larity of being very full, and of inter4nit-
ting every sixth beat. On this subject
he had theory of his own; he consider
ed this skipping at the sixth pulsation a.
stop, as resting Of nature, and he claim
ed that the pulsations which were lost,
and which were his due, would be made
up to him in the end, end would, there
fore, prolong his life. He explained also
by this fact his little need of sleep, as if
mature had taken its sleep in detail and
in advance by small doses"

A Big Railroad Job.
bin giving the right Of way 10 the Memphis and
Ell Paso Railroad Company-one or General FIRE.
monts pet projectsis now lying on the table OF the
Senate, having already passed the House. The
noticeable feature about 1t Ia that the company asks
for nothing but the simple right OF way and IN con-
sequence those who are prone to scent out job IN
everything pronounce this an unmitigated one, and
that the sum total OF the project is to secure
from government the great passes through the Rocky
Mountain range on the thirty second parallel. each
Of which averages but n few hundred feet in width
and could be easily monopolized by single track
OF railroad. The Atlantic aud Pacific Railroad Com
pany contemplate leaving the impracticable thirty.
nth and adopting the thirty-second parallel; but
should the passes be seized by this company. that
asks only for the right Of way 1t Is thought that all
other comers will be forced to ofrer sum Of enor-
nous magnitude to disodge them. The idea with
the Memphis and El Paso road according to those
who pretend to know. Is not to build line to the
Pacific but secure the passes and then turn around
and sell them to the highest bidders.
