WHEN the Cinnamon cali the atten-
ton of the government to the fact that
while China has paid much money for
outrages committed on American citi-
zens, Chinemen are daily mobbed and
murdered without any attention be-
ing paid to it. They do very proper
thing. There is nothing that so soothes
the California rufiian as the view of
dead Chinaman, and the hoodlum who
can't boast of killing one or more is
looked upon with a disguised contempt.
1t would be turning Of the tables with
vengeance if the Chinese government
should put money value on its subjects
in America.

CALIFORNIA is preparing to make a
splendid display at the Paris exposition.
The aggregate space asked for is over So
900 square feet, and the estimated weight
of the exhibit is five hundred tons. The
exhibition of minerals will be the finest
the world has ever seen. A pyramid,
twenty feet square at the base, and
nearly seventy feet high, will represent
the seven millions of cubic inches of gold
which have been produced on the Pacific
coast. This mass would be equivalent to
a solid piece of gold as large as room
sixteen teet square, and very nearly six
teen feet in heights. Around this pyra-
mid fifty plate-glass showcases will be ar
ranged in which the mineral wealth of
the country will be shown. Life under
ground" on the Comstock lode will be ex-
hibited by diagrams, and the Sutro tun-
mel will be fully represented.

The great rage at the present time in
New York is for pottery, and its express
sion is as diversified as the taste, means
and requirements of the great public it
self, for the passion is by no means con-
fined to women. Men share it largely,
and are not only the assiduous collectors
OF rare and costly specimens, but have
taken to decorating cups and plates and
bowls and candlesticks with a zeal equal
to that formerly bestowed by women
upon worsted dogs, cats, birds and flow
ers. Holiday gifts will be principally
pottery.

THE Philadelphia clergymen are
happy over the announcement that the
permanent exhibition will close its gates
on Sunday. They have already COM
menced the holding of meetings and the
passing of resolutions praising the mana
gers for their action. The managers
found that the people-who clamored for
the Sunday opening would not patronize
the exhibition in paying numbers. So
they concluded to try their chance with
the church-goers, and see if they would
patronize it sufficiently to warrant keep
ing it open.
