The First Chinaman.

The FIRST Chinaman who came to
America, according to the San Francisco
Chronicle, was Ghum Ming, in 1s47.
He was native merchant of Mai Sang,
q province of Canton, intelligent and
enterprising. He went into the noun
tains, and, finding gold, wrote to a
friend, Cheong Yum, in 1S48, about
the new country. Cheong Yum imme-
diately came to the Pacific Slope, but,
before doing so, told number of his
country-man of the discovery Of gold in
America. 1t was then that the China
men began to flock to the Pacific coast.
There were at that time no steamers to
bring them, so they came in sailing Ves'
sells. In 1849 the Argonauts began to
arrive from the East, and at that time
the Chinese influx was q mere drop in
the bucket. Within the next few
years the arrivals of Mongolians be-
came more frequent and in larger pro-
portions, so that in 1852 there were
four thousand on the coast, two thou
sandof whom lived in San Francisco. Al
soon as the tide of emigration had sci
in toward California, the Yeoung We
and the Kong Chow, the first two Of
the present Six Companies, began the
business of aiding the shipments.

Buried Treasure.

Everybody knew the story of the gal
Icons of Vigo, which fOundersd at the
entrance of the harbor of Vigo, and
which have lain ever since in the bottom
of the sea with fabulous treasures.
There are other hidden treasures which
continue to excite the cupidity of for
tune-hunters, and one Of them is the
treasure of Hayti. Toussaint-rO rOuvertu-
re" "the Bonapar6e Of the blacks" as
he called himself, foreseeiDg that he
would be obliged to surrender to Gen.
eral Ledero, was anxious to conceal Il
treasure of fl5O, 100000 (sic) of francs
in gold which he bad in hand. He had
the cold put into sacks, and then order
ed ten pioneers to dig a deep ditch in
the country near to Port.au-Prince
"You will stay by the ditch" be said
to the workmen. "until some one brings
something there to be buried. The in-
terment once accomplished, tho hole
closed and the earth replaced, you will
return in the company of an escort"
This was composed of three carriages
and ten soldiers. When the orders Of
the General had been executed the
workmen started to return. But at the
end of au hour, at q turn in the road:
they heard the noise Of firing by plstoons.
1t camo from a squad Of skirmishers
commanded by Toussaint-rOuverture
himself. Pioneers. soldiers, and drivers
were shot at and killed on the spot, so
that no body except the black Bona
parte survived to tell where the l50,-
100000 of francs were buried. The
grass of tbe Antilles has now been
growing over the spot thirty five years.
Why does not some one go and dig up
this treasure

A Sweet Temper.

No trait of character is more valua-
bic in a woman than the possession of
sweet temper. 1t is like the flowers
that spring up in our pathway, reviving
and cheering u.s. Home can never be
made happy without it. Let man 20
home at night wearied and worn out by
the tolls of the day, and bow soothing
is work indicated by a good DISPOSE
ton. It is sunshine falling upon the
heart. He is happy and the cares of
life are forgotten. A sweet temper has
a soothing influence over the minds of
the whole family. Where it is found
in the wife and mother you observe
kindness and love predominating over
the natural feelings of a bad heart.
Smiles, kind words, and looks character
ise tho children, and peace and love
have their dwelling place there. Study,
then to require and retain sweet tenn
per. 1t is more valuable than gold,
and captivatss more than beauty, and
to the close life retains all its powers.

Oats as Retrieyers.

A resident of Sacramento county, who
has peculiar faculty for training ami
mails, has educated three cats to serve
the purpose Of dogs, as retrievcrs. When
he takes up bis gun and calls them from
the house, they follow with a grand
rush, mewing and whining excitedly.
When bird is shot they enter upon
the liveliest kind Of race to retrieve
it; and if it is not in sight they hunt the
ground thoroughly, never omitting to
slap at one another viciously whenever
they come within reaching distance. No
matter which of the trio finds the bird,
the carrying to the shooter is generally
done by a patriarchial Thomas, who
"plays roots" upon the others very cum
ningly, and scratches and bites if one of
the other cats gets the game first and
does not surrender it on demand. He
carries the bird to his master, and
stands guard over it until it is taken
from him and bagged.

answer inspired the bishop with con-
fdence, and he then said, after giving
his name and address, II want you to

for me, and bring it to my hotel: There
will be charge of So here is the
money to pay it, and half dollar
which you may keep for doing the err
rand" On his return to the hotel the
bishops friends laughed at him for his
credulity, telling him that he woald
never see the boy or bundle or the
money again ; but in half an hour the
young chap returned, bringing the
bundle and a receipted bill for $3.50,
the bishop having made slight mis-
take as to the amount that was due.
"Hou did yen manaee to pay the a1tra
half dollar ?"' he inquired. II took
the money you gave me for the job. I
knew you would make it all right"
And "all right, it was made, and no
doubt the confidence that was reposed
in that boy, because ofhis truthfullness,
will do him good as long as he lives.

Giving The Boy q Start.

A lonesome looking boy was yester-
day hanging around a woodward in the
northern part of the city, when the
owner of the yard, having both charity
and philanthropy for boys with tears
in their eyes, asked the lad why he
didn't peddle apples or do something to
earn few shillings. The boy replied
that he had no capital, and the wood
yard man took out nickle, and said :
"Now, my boy, I'm going to start
you in life. Take this nickle and 20
and make purchase of something or
other. I'll buy it of you for ten cents
no matter what it is. Come, now, let's
see what sort of a business head you
have on you"
The boy took the nickle and went
on, but in ten minutes was back with a
gallon jug which he had purchased
with the nickle.
"Well, you are q keener," replied
the man. II never saw one of those
sold for less than fifteen cents to any one.
1 want just such a jug, and here's its
fair price. Go now and lay out your
fifteen cents in apples, and I'll buy
half your stock"
The boy did not return. Perhtp
he fell into sewer somewhere; but
you can't make the woodward man be-
lieve so. When he lifted the jug frcu
under the table where the boy had care

bottom large enough to let in n black,

A Magician's Bonanza.

A strolling sleight.of-band man
struck Silverton, COL, some months
ago. The news spread that he was in
town. The miners Immediately "hired
hall" for him. Dozens of willing
hands quickly stocked it with rude
benches. An extempore stage was
erected. Lights were arranged around
large room, and the bewildered NEGRO
mancer was introduced to this hurriedly
constructed theater amid loud and
prolonged cheering. An honest miner
took the door, and announced that he
had none Of those new tangled arrange
ments, called tickets, with cowponds on
them, but all who wanted to see the fun
must plank down dollar and Q half.
Many handed him two dollar bill and
some a five, and would take no change
The hall was crowded, and the Wizard
of the West changed coin from one
dish to another; drew untold wonders
from hat, and performed other stale
tricks, amidst shouts and yells of ap-
plause. The easy and familiar manner
with which he handled cards won their
unbounded admiration, and when he al.
lowed miner toefre revolver at him
and then caught the ball in his teeth,
the crowd unanimously voted him ga

from practicing on him with their pis,
tolls at once. They gave him the whole
proceeds, wouldn't take cent for the
hall, and, besides, paid his board bill at
the hotel.

Don't Judge.

Don't judge man by the clothes he
wears, for God made one and the tailor
the other.
Don't judge him by his family con-
nection. for Cain belonged to a very

Don't judge him by his speech, for
the parrot talks, and the tongue is but
an instrument of sound.
Don't judge man by the house he
lives in, for the lizard and the rat often
iuhabit the grandest structures.
Don't judge him for his activity ir
church, for that it not unfrequently in
spired by hypocritical and selfish mo
tives.
Don't judge him by his like Of dis
