The Chinese Population of California.

Every month, writes San Francisco
correspondent, twenty-five hundred
Mongolian laborers are added to the
ninety thousand already on this coast.
Statesmen are puzzled to foresee what
effect the interminglIng of 80 great d
number of an uncongenial race may ex-
ercise Socially and politically on this
ulate the wages of labor-not only in pub
lie works, but in factories and In our
households. They monopolize washing
and vegetable peddling; they control CT
gar making, boots and SHOES, underware,
etc.; they are unsmiths, Watchma ak ers,
carpenters, broom-makers, fishermen
and gardeners; they are very expert in
woolen fabrics. 1t is amazing how
quickly they learn to use American ma
chinery. They are excellent cooks and
chamber servants; they are expert
money counters in banks.
In fact they can turn their hands to al.
most anything. They are industrious,
expert at bargaining and very economi.

but apt to strike for higher wages and
vacate without notice. Dishonesty is
rather too frequent, but the notions of
European domestics are exhorbitant,

BILE without Cinnamon. Chinawomen
never hire out. Their numbers are small.
Few marry; the most are public. Nine
tenths of our Cinnamon are single. They
show no disposition 10 settle here, ror to
regard our politics. They gradually
adopt our clothing, except Lhe Christian
coat and stockings. Men, women and
children wear pigtails reaching to the
heels. This ornament Is cherished dear

They stick to the wide-sleeyed blouse.
mostly blue muslin. Opium is their IA
vorite smoke, and rice their chief diet,
combined with pork. Seldom is other
meat used, but fish and vegetables are
largely consumed. Eggs are largely i'm.
ported from China, coated with mud,
and dried clans and oysters are also i'm
ported. We never saw a Chinaman tipsv.
but they gamble universally and ex-
change knocks among themselves. AS
rule they live in crowded dens, without
comfort. A shilling goes further than a
dollar with Americans, and though they
are quick to strike Tor wages, they work
for whatever offers rather than be idle,
Every man can read and write.
There are several temples for worship.
The interior is not unlike Roman altar
images very rudely bedizened, tapers
ever burning, incense; gongs, etc., but
no seats. Gilded texts from their scrip
lures appear on the walls. There are
no books, no pulpit, and no preaching
nor praying. Neither is there day set
for worship. Every day Cinnamon pass
in front of the images, hats on, make a
low obeisanoe and pass out; time i've

heart, and tae moral maxims OF that an
oient sage satisfy him.

An epidemic has certainly broken out
among the whales. During her last pas.
sage from Liverpool TO New York, and
upon the 11th ult., the Cunard steamer
Scythia met with very singular acci-
dent. When near Roche's Point, upon
the coast OF Ireland, the captain and
officers being at their posts. the vessel
was suddenly struck very violently,
and several Of the officers and crew saw
large whale suddenly leap distance
Of ten feet out of the water at or near
the stern of the vessel. The monster
had been struck by the propeller, one of
the shafts OF which, upon inspection OF
divers, was afterward found to be gone.
A. large cash several feet in length was
seen upon its body, and the sea WAS
tinged with blood. The master, w. IA.
z. Harris, very laconically announces
the accident 10 his owners. He says IL
is an impossibility to give any opinion
upon such an unneard-of circumstance,
the only idea being that the whale was
asleep under the water. William
VToole, an old trader between Liver
pool and Cork, also reports number OF
whales seen between Baiieycotton and
Waterford. Captain UTooie remarks
that he has sailed the seas, man and boy,
for thirty-six years, but never saw SO
many whales. Another steamer, the
Triumph, from Liverpool to Burghead,
with salt, was also struck fifteen miles
from the coast of Lewis. After the
shock, a huge whale was seen floating
near the ship, either dead or stunned,
The steamer leaked 30 badly that she
had to be towed into Stornoway. The
carcass OF whale forty feet long has
since been drawn ashore at North Mist.
supposed to be the one killed by the Tri.
umph. Although it is very Like whale
TO gorge himself when he can get q
chance, and quite natural that he should
fall asleep after hearty breakfast, IL is
. little singular that such a shrewd fei-
low gas he generally 10 should permit
himself TO be caught mapping in so sim
gular way. Perhaps the unprecedented
cold OF the past summer may have driven
him to seek warmth and shelter near
the coast. At all events, 1t is nice
point tor the naturalist, and we await
his decision with interest.-Inter.Oce Ocean.

THE damageto the crops by the rains
and floods is very heavy, but evidently
not anything like what was at first
feared. There are many very serious in
dividual losses, but the general pros
poets might be much worse. People
during the rainy weather were prone to
take gloomy view of the situation, but
there is sunny side that they are de-
lighted to look upon, now that the clouds
are out OF the way.

WE call the attention of Gov. Allen to
the rapid contraction of our rivers going
on throughout the West. A too sudden
and severe contraction must, we think,
result disastrously to the commerce OF
our country, and we put it to the Gov
ernor, seriously, whether an expansion
of the Ohio and its tributaries, sufficient
for the requirements Of business, is not
demanded at this time by the unanimous
voice of the people.

ton upon the state Of the churches in
this place from an observer who is not
connected with either of them and
who sdeprecates the efforts which are
being put forth to create DIVISION
This communication comes entirely un-
solicited and is timely. We wash our
hands of all the wrangling and ill-feel-
ing which haye sprung up since the re-
vival, which seems to have put conf
dence into those disposed to make mis-
chief: If ever Satan has been active in
this community in setting Christian
men on to injureeach other, it has been
since the revival which should have
harmonized rather than divided the fol-
lowers of Christ. All this is nuts for
any bad element we may have among
us. Nothing 50 pleases those who are
given to evil as to see Christian men
cutting each others threats. If the
Christian people of Worthington will
only stand together they can he omnip-
otent against the introduction Of those
fragrant evils which curse 50 many COM
munities, but if they are divided and
are giving ear and encouragement to
whatever can imjure Christian BROTH
er, the power Of the Christian element
is gone, and Worthington will be, like
many other places, ruled in business,
politics and society, by goddess men.
These remarks have no reference
whatever to any who sincerely desire,
at the proper time, to have here branch
es of the church to which they former
ly belonged. We respect this wish.-
We speak only of the misrepresenta-
ton, the uncl.aritable criticism, and
the headlong mischief making to which
some men are resorting.
