CHINESE FARMERS.

We doubt if happier race ex-
lists than the Chinese farmers and
peasantry. The farms are small,
and go the owners are not wealthy,
but they are very respectable
Each farm house is little colony,
consisting OF some three genera
tions-namely, the grandfather,
his children, and his children's 5
children. There they live in peace
and harmony together /; all who
are able to, work ON the farm, and
if more labor is required, the
stranger is hired to assist them.
They live we'll, dress plainly, and
are Industrious, without being in
any way oppressed. The female
members of a farmers household
have much more liberty than those
of higher rank. They have small
feet rs usual, but they are not so
confined to the house, or prevented
from looking on and speaking to
strangers, as are the higher classes.
1t a stranger enters the court oi
the house unexpectedly, he will see
number of ladies, bo,h old and
young, sitting in the verandah, all
industriously employed on some
work-some spinning, some sewing
or embroidering, and one probably
engaged in culinary operations,
and if the stranger be an unknown
foreigner, the whole will rise hur-
riediy, and disappear like a covey
of partridges, overturning wheels,
stools, and anything else that may
be in their way. '.This," says q
writer on Chinese customs, "was a
frequent scene in my earlier visits,
bat it gradually wore off when it
was found [ was civilized being
like themselves. These samo la
dies afterward would often ask me
TO sit down, and even set q chair
for me, and bring nae q cup of tea
with their own fair hands and
while drank my tea, they would
go on with their work, laughing
and chatting as freely as if I had
beer a thousand Lies away"

the Federal Courts upon the rrc"r'is
of the lower courts. Good faith lA
to be always observed in carr, ing
out the provisions of this secti'.,
also. Its object is to prevent anv
one creditor from sueing out a,s
attachment as soon as he suspects
his debtor of being in failing cir-
cnmstances, and thus manage TO
have'himsclf placed in the position
of preferred creditor.
Col. Manning is not in favor OF
a total repeal of the baDkrupt act,
because he claims that if such -
step is taken, bankrupts would be-
forced to seek redress in local
courts, and i'll most States, particu-
larly in the South. the local laws
provide too literally for preferred
creditors. 1t is further stated that
the Judiciary Committee, TO which
this bill has been referred, think
highly of it, and will probably re-
port in favor thereof. For this
reason, as we'll as that the bank
rupt law is always a matter OF i'm
terest, and one of especial interest
just now, we have given the SUBJ
stance of Col. Mannins's proposed
bill at so much length.

PIONEER FUN.
A STYLISH DANCE IN THE EARLY DAYS
OF COLORADO.

The Boulder (Col.) Mirror thus
talks over tue good old times:
The first settlers of Boulder came
here in 1858. In 1859 quite q num-
Der came, and some sixty log houses
were erected before 1860 stepped in.
OF these log houses but few remain.
Christmas, 1859, saw jovial crowd
Of dancers in one of these houses,
wlndowless, we believe, at that time.
The hardy pioneers were after fun and
had it. On the night in question,
about two hundred sons of toll and
seekers Of gold and their fortunes,
and seventeen ladies had assembled
at che above named place to partake
of frontier te-psichorean. N1arinus
G. Smith was then one of the beaus
of tine town and his dress-suit consist
ed of pants made out of seamless
sacks. and co:ored blue by the aid of
logwood. A lady now living in town
had an elegant dress maize out Of flour
sacks, also colored by the aid OF log
wood. There were few white shirts
in the neighborhood then, most of the
pioneers wearing wooden flannel ones.
A man with white shirt on was in
style, and could dance with his coat
off a man withous any would wear a
coat buttoned up to the neck. Coats
for dancing purposes did not seem to
be any too numerous, consequently
the pioneers helped each other OUT
For instance, ALI. Nichols had six
white shirts, which were all at that
ball, and the coats of those six white
shirted fellows went to cover the backs
Of some one else. 1Ihen one fellow
had a dance he woud lend his coat to
another, and then his turn woald
come, and SO the white shirts and
long coats we're dancing all night, and
went around among the two hundred
| men. There were no wall flowers
among the seventeen ladies. But
they say the supper for the occasion
| was a grand affair. Washboilers full
OF coffee, great hunks of blacktailed
deer jack rabbits, fish, game, and deli
ca les brought from the States in cans,
all went TO make up glorious supper
one that the partakers would like
to see repeated. There may not have
been much style, but the seamless
sacks and dour bags saw as much
rurc enjoyment as does the finest and
| gaudiest attire of to-day.

A CoLoRED SKEpr1c. When
schools were established in the

TIE GUACHO.

AN nOur rue OSCI the Gull aTlu
plains of Buenos Ayrcs, covered
with the grass now 50 much culti-
vated in our gardens, and admired
for Its light feathcry tufts waving
in the wind, brought us to San
Joachim, where the people were
already collecting, IN thcii holiday
attire, and exchanging friendly
greetings on all sides. The gay,
striking dresses of the Guachcs
mingled in every group. Tho
poncho, or mantle of cloth, woven
in bright coiorcd stripes, has n
hole in the centre through which
the head is passed, and falls down
to the hips in graceful folds. Tho
neither garment is Il combination OF
bcdgown and trousers bordcred by
fringe, or even rich lace, on these
festal days, which varies from tw"
to six inches deep, according to tho
wealth of the wcarer.
Then to-day the great jack boots
of untanncd leather are exchanged
for the smartcst patent leather,
with bright scarlet tops and enor-
nous spurs at the heels. A widc-
brimncd Spanish hat is worn, a
purple or yellow handkerchief
twisted round it; while the belt
encircling the waist sparkles with
dollars sewcd upon it-oftcn tho
whole fortune OF the owner. His
weapons are attached TO his girdlc,
consisting of formidable knife,
lasso, and a bolas, which may rot
be SO familiar to the English reader
as the lasso. There are two balls
fastened together by short leather
straps, to which another thong is
attached, by which It is thrown

tanglcs itself in the legs of the

while we arc gayly chatting the

two lines OF mounted Guachos, from
ten to twenty on each side, juet go
far apart as TO allow a lidcr to paes
between the ranks all are on tho
alert and holding the lasso ready
for use. One whom they call Massi
mo, an evident favorite with the
crowd, comes tearing along at q
gallop and dashes in between tho
lines. The first horseman in the
ranks throws his lasso at Massimo's
horse as he flashes past, but misses,
amid the derisivc shouts of those
around !; then the second quick as
lightning, casts his; and SO ON down
the ranks. Presently, however the
horse is lassoed and brought to the
ground and the skilifal rider
alights, nninjnred, on his feet,
Smoking his cigarette as coolly as
when he started from his post. The
dexterity and watchfu!ness of tho
men, who can throw the lasso SO as
to entangie the feet of horse while
