CHINAMEN LEAvING.-The Grass Valley Repu6-
licon, of November 26th, says; "The Chinese
are either finding their labor Improbable in Ne
vada county or they are afraid for their safety
No less than twenty-five Ceestials left this place
and Nevada City yesterday morning on the stages
of the Telegraph Company for Colfax. In con-
versation with them, they said Heap China
men leave. Go back to China. No good place
here. Mclean man whip Chinaman, shoot Chi
namen, hang Chinaman. Law no good They
have evidently heard of the massacre at Los
Angeles. But there are other reasons Money
is scarcer here than formerly the river mining
and shallow placer claims that are generally
worked by Chinese, yield less every year. Many
of them with their economy and habits of indus
try, make but precarious living. Then the
antipathy against them on the part of our white
population is Increasing. There is every pros
pect that our Chinese population will continue
to decrease steadily in the future" The same
may be said of this county. In our opinion,
there is not one half the number of Chinese in
Trinity county at the present time that there was
five or six years ago. Many Cinnamon are leav-
ing and but few coming in.

BLESSINGS brighten as they take their flight
The chief of blessings is good health, without
which nothing is worth the having it is always
appreciated at its true value after it is lost but,
too often, not before. Live properly, and cor
rect ailments before they become seated. For
diseases of the liver, kidneys, skin, stomach,
and all arising from impure feeble blood, DR..

HONEY DEw.-The Grass Valley Union, of late
date, contained the following article: " We
mentioned few weeks ago that Frank Caruana
had discovered remarkable deposit of what is
called " honey dew +" on the rocks and leaves at
place near the Knights of Malta mine. He has
investigated the matter and ascertained the cause
of the honey dew. On certain kind of bush,
clustered under the limbs and in knots, are mil
lions of dark brown insects of about the size of
a wood-tck and not much unlike the tick in
shape. These insects constantly dropping
the honey dew on the rocks and leaves below
them. The bees and wasps are kept busy in
taking away the droppings of these little brown
insects Frank is collecting for us samples of
the honey dew, and specimens of the little bugs
which bedew the rocks and leaves with honey
These we shall have investigated. The honey
made by these little insects is clear, and very
agreeable to the TASTE Each little honey dew
maker is capable Of dropping every few seconds
ball of sweetness almost the size of pin head
There is a constant motion in the knots of honey
dew makers and faint sound can be heard from
the knots. Where the little bugs collect their
honey is mystery. They toll not among the
flowers the bee tolls, and yet they can beat
BEES as Frank tells us, in honey-making. We
shall forward specimens to some scientific man
to have the honey bug named"

CoTToN IN CALIFoRNIA.-An important letter,
says the M4rysvlle appeal, has been published,
written by Col. John W. Strong the cotton cul-
turist, in regard to the cultivation of cotton in
California. Col. Strong has had considerable
experience in the business in Merced county, and
has actually made it profitable this year He
expresses the opinion that "any of the valleys
between the sothermal lines of 60 or 70 degrees
are adapted to the culture of cotton with profit !"
but that the adaptability of localities must be
tested by experiment. An average yield of 3T5
pounds of lint cotton to the acre was produced
on the Merced river in dry yeag and the yield
could be doubled by irrigation. The California
crop is more uniform and of a better grade than
that of the Southern States, and the profits of
raising cotton promise to be greater in California
than in any other cotton producing country in
the world. Inland freigbts are cheaper than in
the South, and about the same from Liverpool to
San Francisco as to New Orleans, and the cost
of labor is actually less in California He strong
ly advises Southern planters to come to Califor-
MIA and engage in the business.

"Rricko POmeroy Talks Ont.

The general committee of the reform De-
mocracy held a meeting last week and adopt
ed resolutions in opposition to Tammany
"Brck" lPomeroy was present and made a
speech, in which he told some plain truths,
which is thus reported:
He said that whenever corruption existed
the seed of political disaster was sown. He
had just witnessed Democratic 6eteat in
CALIFORNIA; defeat that was unexpected, and
which overwhelmed the leaders. This de-
feat was due solely to the corruption of the
managers of the campaign, who had no SYM
pathy with the people, and in whom the peo.
pie had no confidence. Corruption, and that
alone, had led 10 the Democratic defeat,
and New York should take the incident to
heart, and purge the dross from Democracy
here. Throughout the United States curses
were heaped by Democrats on Tammany
Hall and its ring leaders, and there could be
no hope of good government here, or peace
in the Democratic ranks, until the authors
of the crimes which have thrown a stigma
on the party we're cast out. He did not hold
that because New York under :. Democratic
government had fallen so low, Democracy was
the cause. He believed that when Tamman,
was overthrow Democracy would redeem
New York, and therefore the first work to
perform was the complete overthrow of the
ring. The leaders the Tammany Hall par
ty should be made to feel that they deserve a
worse fate than their struggle with honest
Democrats will prove during the campaign,
and that would be hot enough. Honest De-
moccracy would never feel satisfied until
the members of the ring had retired in dis
grace from the scenes of their plundering to
live out of sight and out of mind, in a ioregl,
country, or until they were enjoying the re-
ward OF their crimes in a common prison.
During their career they had attempted to es
tablish false aris.Ocracy, and had entirely
ignored the claims of the poorer men; and
their petitions to this moneyed superiority
were founded on the possession Of wealth
which was not theirs. AS workingman he
pledged himself to oppose the Tammany
branch of the Democracy until t was com
pletely subdued, and to this end he would
speak, write, work, and vote against the ring
at general meetings or at ward meetings, and
at the polls; nor would he rest until Tamma-
ny ceased to have any political existence. A
year ago, in the same hall, he had spoken to
many of his present audience much to The
same effect, and he now begged the Demoera-
cy OF New York to fight Tammany at the
State election this year, and at the genera
election. The ring could not resist the oppo
siton of the honest element of the city. In
time they would have to submit, even though
their defeat was not as immediate as it should
be. Looking forward TO Tammany's fina
overthrow, he trusted that the members O
the Democratic reform party would work ear
nestly and faithfully.

least but for difficulty OF finding his broker In season
TO avail OF all the fluctuations Toward the close OF
business there was a fractional decline, extending TO
nearly the list the rumor that powerful bear
party had been made up for short turn and that
they had commenced locking up greenbacks with
a view to tightening the money market. We
were unable TO verify the story and do
not believe much in the efficacy OF that
sort thing disturbing the current Of the market AT
all events bulls Indifferent to this method OF
breaking prices they that they are fortified with

indirect assistance regarding as they do an easy money
