THE oEbMAN IN SEw roDk

Germans appear to be the order Of the
day. We had one at the house of Col,
Van Buren,, the ether night, and the
figures were beautiful. No wonder the
young ladies who have learned to dance
the German prefer it to all other dances.
although 20 papas and mammas, and in
different spectators, it presents objection
able features, but not more than any
of the round dances. The favors were
particularly handsome and the dance
admirably conducted. One figure, aTronb-
led Waters" was very beautiful. The
waving of tbs various hues of tarletan
held by the various couples, as they
passed in and out, and under, had 4 be-
wildering effect. The May pole figure
was also fine. The toilettes were as ex
quisite as the women who wore them.
and all went "merry as marriage belP'
until two iii the morning, when the last
of the guests departed. Some of the
ladies had come Immediately from an af-
ternoon German, but seemed to feel no
whit fatigued; indeed, several, after their
beef tea, appeared so invigorated they
might have gone through another night
of it. One lady had twenty-eight en-
gagements on hand to be fulfilled in less
than week, and others were not far be-
hind her.-N y. Letter.

The court of Pekin propose locating
a consul and vice consul at San Francisco
in order the better to attend the interests
of their now abused countrymen. The
Chinaman is the pariah of the Pacific
coast, the legitimate TARGET for the hoo
dium's fist or brickbat. Brotherly love
in California has to stop somewhere, and
it draws the line on John Chinaman.
Even the good little boys of San Francis
co, while returning from Sunday school
with their pockets full of Sunday school
books and their breasts stuffed full of
christian maxims and precept, do not
hesitate to pursue the docile, unoffending
heather with sticks and stones. The
intensity OF the hatred to the heather
race on the Pacific coast is not all
realized here. 1t is death to all politi-
cal aspiration to regard with any favor
the Chinaman. Yet he built the Pacific
railroad when white labor was far too
high priced; he is the laundryman of
the state; as house servant the Chinese
boy is far more tractable than the aver
age Milesisn or Teutonic importation;
he has no blue Monday and never runs
for office.
4 Paris correspondent writes that
"silE stockings, striped with lace inser-
ZION, are the latest novelties of the Par
isian toilet, while mary fashionable
ladies have their stockings powdered
with gold dust, or made of mixture Of
silk woven with silver. Lace mittens
are taking the place of gloves for balls,
with seed pearls or ornamented with rib
bons and flowers. So much for repub'i-
can simplicity. Under the empire the
gold dust ornamented the hair; now the
fashion, like the form of government, is
exactly reversed"
NJ. Moody's opening services at the
Boston tabernacle on Sunday attracted
immense throngs. Over six thousand
DOORS Two churches were thrown open
to Accommodate those who could not get
seats in the tabernacle. Among the
more significant passages of Mr.. Moody's
morning sermon was this: :" have been
amused the past few hours to hear the
Boston people talk. They said, Now,
Mr.. Moody, you must not expect 10 be
as successful in all respects here as you
have been elsewhere Boston is a peculiar
place 1t is the same old gospel, the
same old story; Boston is just like other 1
places after all. The same old human /
nature is here that we have found /
wherever we have been. The enemy
hinder God from working. If we
can get this terrible unbclief out of her,
he Will shake Boston as a mother shakes
q little child"

The following statistics are condensed
from very exhaustive and able article
which appeared in Il recent sue OF the
New York Graphic, from which il APP
pears that there are at the present time
( in the United States nine hundred mills
spindles, being an increase since 1870 of
SO per cent. in the number Of spindles.
These use nearly 0O,OOO,O00 pounds of
cotton, or l, 225, 900 bales. The estimated
capital employed is $40, 600, 900, and the
annual wages $40, 100000.
According to official statements there
we're made in 1874, 145, 00O,O 900 yards of
threads, yarns and twines, 7O70OO,0OO
yards of shirtings, sheetings and the like
class of goods, 306, 600 million yards
twiIled and fascy goods, jeans, etc, $780,
100000 yards of print cloths, 5000, 600
yards OF gingl,ams, 30.0oV,00O yards of
duck and 100000 bags. This is ex-
elusive of hosiery and other knit goods,
made either wholly of cotton or contain
ing an admixture of wool of which no
satisfactory statement is made.
1t is confidently asserted, by those who
she uld know, that American goods are
gaining very rapidly in the estimation of
European public, and are even pre-
ferred to all others in the Asiatfc mar
kets; and we hope the day is not far
distant when our manufacturers will
prove very strong competitors with for
eign spinners in the actual consumption
of cotton

OOR DRITISH IMPORTS.

The official statement of the British
and Irish exports to the United States
for the first eleven months Of the wear
ending Nov. 80, 1876, shows a notice
able falling off in sossie Of the manufac-
lures that we have been in the habit of
buying largely OF Thus. our imports of
cotton piece-goods fell off from 1850
coo yards in 1875 to 50, 387, 400 wards in
1876; china and earthenware from e574.-
600 value in 1915 to f5l2, 0CO in 1876.
hardware and cutlery from e522. 900
value in 1875 to 1927 900 value in 1876
railroad iron from 1900 tons to three
hundred and forty-nine tons; linen
piece-goods from 10000, 900 yards; ma
chinery f.om e166,00 value to 500, 600

from 5000, 900 yards to SO, OOO. 900 wards
and carpets from 100000 wards to

this connection that our exports of cot

-7G, hoo packages against II 600 pack
ages for the previous year, from New
Yorkalone, End from Boston 81, 500 pack
ages against 1900 packages in 1872. /
These large exports for 1876 are partially
explained by our diminished capacity to

There is story as told by the Boston
Herald: Not many weeks ago a gentle
man engaged apartments at one of our
fashionable family hotels: In appear
ance he was not prepossessing, he had an
unpleasant manner and ungainly figure,
and possessed none of those qualities
calculated to recommend one to the
gentler sex. After several days sOjourn
he had succeeded in making himself disa-
greeable to all those he came in contact
with. On the eleventh day after his ar
rival a middle aged and a young lady
entered the hotel Office, and registering
their names as mother and daughter,
engaged aa apartment. Their appear
ance in the dining room on the morning
after their arrival caused quite sensation
among the eligible young bachelors, the
young lady proving exceedingly attrac-
tive, and before many days considerable
rivalry sprang up among the young men
and manageable old ones, each endeavor-
ing to ingratiate himself in the young
ladys affections. She received their at
tentions with a naughty dignity and
GOODNESS which proved very discouraging
to the less determined and faint-hearted
males. Onr awkward friend, the first
arrival, was among the candidates for the
/ damsePs favor. His repeated advance
ments and obtrusive remarks to her
brought down on him the justly merited
ridicule of all, especially those interested,
and more particularly of one young man,
who was possessed of considerable wealth,
/ and a limited supply of brains. He de-
clared that the ugly fellows attentions
were insulting to the fair lady, while the
homely member of the race thought that
he was more acceptable in the young
/ lady's eyes than any other man in the
hotel and with haunting boast offered
to bet the rich young man $500 that be-
fore twentv-four hours he would be on
familiar terms with the lady, and would
accompany her to the theatre. Foolish
as it may seem, the young man took the
bet, and 81 900 were placed in the hands
of the hotel clerk. True to his boast,
within the prescribed time, the ugly man
took the handsome woman to the Globe
theatre. On returning to the hotel, the
clerk haISed him over $1,000. Going
up stairs the lady was overheard asking,
GLOW much was the bet| 4" 81 900"
be replied. Stupid little husband, F"
she said, "why didn't you double it?"
Next morning three persons had an
early breakfast at that hotel, then folded
their tents and stole away.

CINE BIRDS or C4LIFoBN1I.

About the first thing noticed by an
eastern sportsman upon arriving at San
Francisco during the season allotted to
the pursuit of game is the immense
flocks of ducks, teals and mergansers
which dot the surface of the bay in
every direction or fill the air with the
futter and whir of wings. Accustomed,
as he has been, to long and wearisome
tramps for the sake of obtaing beggarly
number of birds or to wearisome lying in
wait by bay or river for.the focks that
neI -er come, the gunner from the At
la1tic states feels an unaccustomed ex-
biliaI,atiu n and stir OF blood. to say moth
ing of peculiar itching of the fingers,
when he sees. the STOOD for powder .
which crowds Our harbor and its inlets.
There are over tlyel.ty varieties.of ducks,
either residents of or visitors to our bay,
and at no season are its waters Tree from
some of them. In the sun1naer' however,
few are seen, for most OF them are away
at the breeding grounds occuple'. Win
family cares. But they soon return WIN
numbers, and when fall ano
winter come again they are in prime con-
iition, fat and plump,and fatted to grace
the table of many nabob and epicure. !
Next to the gulls, whose beautiful plum
age and airy flight make them one OF the
most pleasing objects in nature, there are /

The immense vein of gas vas Struci
on the night of October 18th, at a dePtt
of eighteen hundred and ten feet, md
was so strong as TO render further drill
ing impossible. The well is about two
miles from Bradford, on the Bruce
Rodgers farm. Running from the well
are two twoinch pipes, attached to which
are three gas jets of the same size, the
gas belching forth from these pipes with
such terrific rush and noise as to rem
der conversation, pitched in theordinary
tone, inandible for fully one-fourth of
mile away, and the roar can be heard for
Ave or six miles. The blaze from each
of the three pipes is sent by the force of
the gas to height of from twenty-five
to forty feet, the heat is so intense as to
melt the snow entirely away for a dis
lance of at least one hundred feet, and
also keeping the ground so warm during
all the cold weather OF the winter that
grass, strawberry vines, and other plants
may grow. In many places, where the

SAILS sUPhRcEDING srr,,,.

A remarkable change in the character
of the ship building on the Clyde has
for some tiYe been going on, and during
last year Il reached very large nopor-
tions. This Is the substitution OF iron
sailing shiH for iron steamers and the
change ia asctibed iii some measure to
the increase of late years in the price Of
coal, an increase which makes it difficult
to run steamships at a profit. In 1873
there were built on the Clyde one hun
dred and twenty iron screw steamers
of 218,00O tons, and only twelve iron
sailing ships of 10, 600 tons were launched.
But in 1876 only eighty-three iron screw
steamers were built, while ninety seven
iron sailing ships Of $4,000 tons were
constructed. This Is an increase Of more
than eightiold in three years. The
change Is one which will be welcomed
by sailmakers and sailors who generally
dislike steamers for reasons of their own.
