The women of Palermo are verify

caution against his ardent kisses, for
they are all dark, but they are all
beautiful. .fg
The better classes dress cxquisitely,
but mostly in black. Lace and gren-

their dresses, and they almost all wear
the black lace mantilla over their

IN CALIFORNIA


The Cinnamon in California number
ninety Thousand, OF whom three
fourths are adults. They are not only
a power, but but great and import
ant power. They fill nearly all the
departments of trade, from the high
est to the lowest. They have intro
duced American manufactures into
China and broughtin with other things
cheaper goods than can be made at
home. They regulate the labor mar
ket in California. They know Confh-
cius by heart, and are content with
the maxims of that ancient sage rath-
cr than the teachings of the modern
missionary.
Every month about two thousand
five hundred Mongolans are added to
the Pacific coast labor and in house
holds. They monopolize washing and
peddling; control cigar making, boots
and shoes, underwear, &c, are tin
smiths, watchmakers, carpenters,
broom makers, fishermen and garden

they are excellent cooks and chamber
servants, and expert money counters
in banks; in fact, they are industrious,
expert at bargains, and economical
AS house servants they are cleanly,
