The Funeral Of a Christian Chinaman.

Yesterday the last rites were paid to
the remains of Mr.. Tam Ching, who
has for the past few years labored
among his cOMpatriots as an evange-
list, in connection with the Chinese
Presbyterian Mission. The Chapel,
on the corner of Sacramento and Stock
ton streets, was thronged at eleven
o'clock, the attendance being largely
composed of American ladies and gen
lemen, either personally acquainted
with the deceased, or interested in his
work. Rev. DIR. LOomis led the eXer-
cises and delivered a very impressive
discourse in the Chinese language. He
was followed by the Rev. Mr.. Condit
in the same tongue, both gentlemen
being listened to with marked atten-
ton. The casket containing the NOR
tai remains of the late colporteur was
beautifully decorated with floral offer
ings, tributes of respect from friends
of his own and native races. A cor
lege of nearly fifty carriages followed
the remains to the cemetery, the m en-
bers of the Chinese Young Mems
Christian Association accompan ying
the hearse as escort.
Mr.. Tam Ching came to this coun-
try several years ago, very much in
the social condition of most of his coun-
trymen, and attracted the:attention of
the missionaries by the display of con-
siderable intelligence. After his con-
version he was sent to China to per-
feet his education, and since his re-
turn has labored with his country men
to great acceptance, as the demonstra-
ton yesterday amply testifies. His
illness was consumption and he leaves
q wife and one child.-S. II. Call.

WE are pleased to see that the ad-
vantages of Los Angeles as a manu-
featuring center are attracting the at
tention of Eastern capitalists. With
our network of railroads and two har-
bors we have every advantage for the
receipt and shipment Of freights; with
a populous and growing country, in
telligent people and every agrcultur-
al product, the inducements to manu-
facturers are immense. We trust that
every aid will be extended to manu-
facturers to locate here. Let us study
the history of Philadelphia, which is
one hundred miles from the seabOard,
and yet is the greatest city in the
Unired States in manufactures, and
the second in population. Many years
ago Philadelphia exempted from taxa
ton the capital actually invested in
manufacturing and it has been a wise
policy, which has resulted in untold
blessings to capitalists and working
men

The Land of Wine.

California is pre-eminently the land
of wine and the country for the vine,
and Los Angeles county has taken
the leading position in viniculture.
Our equable climate, our unlimited
command of water, our freedom from
frost, the absence of severe winds and
the semi-tropical character of our
Summers all combine to produce in
the grape the proper saccharine quail
tiles, which make good wine. In
Europe the favored localities for wine
making are sit uated near the Isother-
NAL line, and just beyond them lie
the sections where grape growing is
precarious or even impossible. This
confines the choice grape growing re-
gions to a very small space and at
times the Isothermal temperature is
as unreliable as i'm less favored zones.
The product of these peculiar localities
is naturally limited and maintains q
very high price. In this neighbor-
hood, on the contrary, there is not
much choice in locality, the vine
growing we'll in any place in the coun-
try. The exposures of Southern slopes
are not necessary, as our Summer sun
reaches every locality where the vine
can be planted. France, Spain, Por-
tugal and Italy are not favored by ma
ture like Southern California and in
time our advantages of climate and
soil will be recognized by all vini-
culturists. OF late years our enter
prising vine growers and wine ma
kers have been making rapid
strides until our vines are
counted by millions and our wine
product is estimated at over a million
gallons annually. Next year our lead
ing wine makers will exhibit their
manufactures at the Centennial, and
will show the world the capacity OF
Los Angeles county in this industry.
They are willing to exhibit side by
side with France and Spain, and we
are assured the comparison will not be
unfavorable. OF the profits of wine
making vineyards we cannot present
any figures, though we believe in time

the cultivation of the raisin will
have as much attention as the other
varieties. Even some of our leading
wine makers assert that the prof
it of the raisin grape will be larger
than the income from wine ma
king, but time alone will be required
to settle that fact satisfactorily. Both
wine making and raisin making can
be rendered very profitable and the
whole world is the market for both.
Capital and experience are required
for both and when properly conducted
these industries will yield an immense
income. The magnitude of the wine
interest may be best understood from
few figures: Amador county has Il
$50, 800 vines; El Dorado, ,420, 255; Los
Angeles, 4,25O,OO0; Napa, 3,1Os,590;

for the State 20, 1876, 429.

A REPORT having been circulated
in Washington that General BABCoCK,
Private Secretary of President GRANT,
was to be relieved OH account of his
connection with the st. Louis whiskey
ring, it is denied in a semi-official
manner. OF course BABCoCK will not
be retired in this way, rs he knows
too much. We do not hesitate to say
that President GRANT does himself
more injury by retaining Private Sec
retary BABcoCK than he does by all
his third-t term Vaccinations. BAB-
COCK has the reputation in the East
of being connected with all the reve-
nue. frauds, Washington rings and In
dian steals, and President GRANT is
covered with the iodium. BABCoCK's
brother, commonly called "BAB.," is
Surveyor General of Kansas, and for
years has had the farming out of inn
mense surveys of Indian lands, and
has divided the spoils with his friends.
Other members of the family are pro-
vided for, showing that he has worth
lily initiated President GRANTS nepot-
ism. Secretary BABCoCK, himself,
has made large fortune in his double
salaried capacity of door-keeper at
the White House and Brevet Briga-
dier General (?). AS his real pay as
army officer is much smaller than
that of his brevet title, and his pay as
door-keeper to the President is mod
est, the question arises, How did he
acquire large fortune in so short
time? One thing is certain, the
President in retaining the boon COM
panion of JOYCE, MCDONALD and the
st. Louis thieves as his Secretary,
makes strong argument against the
Third Term.

Fall of a Meteor in Connecticut.

A small boulder, bearing all the dis
tinguishing marks of a meteoric stone,
was found lying in the middle of the
road in Windham county last week,
having doubtless fallen in the Novem-
ber shower of meteors. 1t is in the
form of an oblate spheroid, the longest
diameter being nine inches, the short
est six inches. About one-third of
the entire mass, probably split off Ell
ther by explosion in the atmosphere
or by collision with the earth when it
fell, is wanting. The weight of the
part that remains is about nineteen
and one-half pounds. The external
surface, of dark brown color, is very
smooth and even, with the exception
of slight indentations here and there.
The elementary composition is field
spar, with a small intermiXture of me-
tallic alloy, probably nickel and iron.
1t is, in word, a very fine sample of
those ponderous but swift-winged Wis.,
itors which occasionally descend to US
