CELESTIAL FEM1S1N1rY.-We are told
that the following decres Was recently is.
sued BY the Emperor of China:
".AII persons Of the female sex are for
bidden, upon any pretext whatever, to en-
ter a temple or quit their houses, except
in cases Of absolute necessity. Fathers,
husbands, sons or relatives, are command
ed to keep them at home, on pain Of being
themselves severely punished"
There is slight difference between the
manners and customs Of China and those
Of California. No one supposed that such
a decree was enforced, though possibly the
Emperor was made to think it was; but in
this country man who should think Of
such thing would be laughed out Of
town. Chinese civilization is not like our
civilization.
In China woman lives for the exclu-
sive benefit Of her husband. Her great
object in life is TO please him. II she
succeeds, she gets nice dresses; and ii che
doesn't succeed, she is likely to get nice
dressing" In San Francisco, per con-
ira, woman does more to please herself
than she does to please her husband, and
if he doesn't like it, Why, al! he has to. do
is to-"!ump it !"

A writer in the London Examiner says
he was talking with an American mother
and daughter: "As the daughter was
telling me that shs had much enjoyed a
dance on the previous night. and had
been real pleased at the way English
people did it, but was very tired, I sug.
gested that she had perhaps better 60
to bed. This. it seems, was a grievous
solecism; for Mrs. Hudson pulled me up
very short swith the remark, I'D have

narrated several stories OF the cruelty
and barbarity Of the whites against the
Red Men. She publicly accused Q real.

had committed the crimes Of which this
man Is guilty. Sarah added. the hue and
cry Of the land would be. LET every
Indian die"
Sarah then spoke OF her service to the
government, referring to one time
when. BY her sxertions, she induced q
hostile band to come into camp, but the
commanding officer. she declared. TO

the white people al that she had re-
ceived for her actions wa Islander and

people do not want government help.
They want each family 10 have Q piece
Of land they can call their own. They
arc tired Of doing nothing. All they
want ia q piece Of land. By giving Il 10

say they are willing to work. Mako way

themselves before the white people came
In our midst. They can do the Same
thing now. Give them farming imple-
ments. II then they do not work, you
can say they are lazy and won't work.
You cannot do something with nothing.
You must have something with which to
make q beginning. appeal to you TO
como and teach our people. They are
willing 10 learn"
Sarah stated that she was q Methodist.
She also gave . history OF q number Of
Indian customs, The doctor IL the
highest man among the Indians, not the
chief. The Indians are naturally q reli.
gious people. They believe in Father

the white people came to think that the
Indians spoke Of the Great Spirit
Sarah could not conjecture.
With q word Of thanks to those citt.

her case. and the press, Sarah bowed
and left the stage.
