AChinese Kitchen.


Some of our lady readers would like, no
doubt to take glance at Chinese
kitchen, which is wonder in its way
There is nothing in it but cookingstove
or two, not larger than our American
water-pail with few stew-pans, and many
chop-sticks, from which few things come
the many courses Of the table, all well cook
ed and garnished-nay, even the best of
beef-3eak, so difficult to have cooked well
st home. The more Igo over the world,
the more am convinced that American
and Englishmen arc far behind the rest
of creation in preparing their food to be
eaten. Our civilization" in this is over
hundred years behind the age; and in This
the Chinese are far our superiors. That
DEVILS invention of ours, Che kitchen-lange
ought to be kicked down where it came
from, the lower regions-an invention
which in summer, roasts us out of our
houses, and in winter consumes as much
coal in day as a Chinaman would need in
a month, or Frenchman in week. Some
ich man j America, some coming Peter
Cooper in lieu of teaching us how to draw,
would do better to found a college to teach
Us how to boil potatoes, cook beefsteak,
roast mutton and bake bread, for such a
Peter Cooper would be the very greatest of
American human benefactors.

Farmers North and South.

IT,, marked contrast between the modes
of GU ne of the farmer of the North and
plaul,i of the South is not to be traced to
any essential difference ia the pr inciples by
which the cultivation of the earth should
govern ,le Que or the other, but is rather
to be accounted for by the circumstances
of these localities. Climate has had much
to do with the subject, the character of
labor more, and the education and habits of
the respective populations greatly conduc-
ed to the essential differences in the prac-
tical operations of the farm.
In Southern States it is as uncommon to
meet with a barn, as place of prepara-
tion of the products of the planta tion, as
it is in the North to find farm with
out one. The planter contents himself
with the reflection that his cattle require
no such shelter from the elements with
which he is surrounded; while the farmer
estimates his barn, not only for a shelter
for his cattle from the cold, but as a man.
ufactory of The only fertilizers upon which
he relies TO improve his land and not only
this, but place where his products are
prepared for market without waste or deter
ioration, and form whence the straw, hay,
and fodder are distributed to the cattle for
their comfort and for the profit of the
farmer. The southern farmer will not
realize the truth Of this, although he finds
himself scattering over thousand acres;
abandoning one spot with the hope of find
ing another less exhausted, and perhaps
somewhat rested from fatigues of acres of
crops of the same thing; while the northern
farmer with his well-farmed hundred acres,
will be found to increase the fertility of his
land and add to his acres year by year.
We have almost said that barn is essen
tial to the operations of the farm; that it
is through its instrumentality that it is
fertilized and improved; while the manure
of the harmless plantation is wasted upon
the desert air.

TAXING GOVERNMENT LAND.

Onwhat grounds does Legislature of
theState Of California assume the right to
tax the land claimed merely by possessor5
right? The title to such land is vested
in the U S. Government and will so con-
tinue until 1t is entered and paid for BY
the settler. The settlers posscssory right
is of no value to him except as one of the
preliminary forms or means through which
he may her. after be enabled to purchase
the land from its present owner, the Gov
ernment Whenever land is entered and
pai+4 fertile title is transferred to the pur-
chaser, and is liable to taxation by the
State. and not before, except it be done
through fraud and ilegality So long as a
settler remains on lands belonging to the
Government, he IS legally liable to taxation
on his improvements and personal property
and whenever the State Legislators
arrosae thority to lay tax on unsod
Government land, they do something they
have no right to do, ard perpetrate an
outrage upon the pioneer men who are to-
day living upon the Government domain.
The idea of California Legislature
assuming the right to tax the Government
land on which some poor wayworn emf
grant has settled with a view of some day,
when he can save up the necessary money,
purchasing it of the Government, is a
great shame. Money thus wrung from the
10 ling poor will prove a curse to the Com
monweath and seve as an illgotten fund on
which thieves will feed, fatten, and
corrupt the State.

GAINESVILLE was enlivened last Tuesday
night by one of the incest parties that it
has been eur pleasure to enjoy for many
day. The entertainment Was COTTON up for
the benefit of the School Fund, and was
decided success. The originator and prin
cipal manager Was Mrs Garden, ID all
who know r, know that the cause which
she espouses receives able assistance. Mrs.
Leschnsky aided largely, as also did Mrs
Shuffletnn Much credit is due to Misses
Meagher and Leschinsky who volunteered
to circulate the tickets. The supper was
superb The success of the ice cream stand
was due to Miss Meagher and the Shasta
delegation, the receipts Of which were
thirty-eight dollars. Messrs Langsdon and
Grotefend furnished the best of music, the
latter of which with his usual generosity
refused remuneration. The liberality of
the people of Piety Hill and Janesville vi,
