The Manufacture of Chinese Idols.

The manufacture of the Chinese
Joss. or idol which the Celestials wor-
ship, has attained vast proportions in
San Francisco. The joss may be
found in every wealthy Chinaman's
house and in all their temples, while
the one ambition of dying C.lestiab
to have a joss burned for his soul
after death, is another cause for the
great demand on the effigy manufac-
turer. The head being of wood or Pill
able cardboard and the body OF cheap
though gaudy material, there is moth
ing about one of these images which
NAV be considered of value; the inge-
NOUS workmanship, in which such a
display of details is made, may be
noted as of far more consequence than
the useful or extraneous stuff which
goes to make up the potent and mystic
joss. Even the paper finger nails OF
extraordinary length, are finely carved,
and the thick-Soled shoes and fan are
not omitted. On completion it is
consecrated by high priest. who. with
his acolytes, goes through a prolonged
and apparently recondite ceremonial,
winding up by dauhing a little red
paint in each of the black eyes of the
loss. who is then enable to see into the
mysteries of the world and the hear
after. 1t is sold for $25.

of the class ofpeoplo taking possession
Of this country. They Judge this
country from the experience Of forty
years ago. Then emigration went for
ward III advance Of railroads and
waited ten, twenty and thirty years for
the country to develop. Then the
poor and uneducated and thriftless
and lawless men formed a large per-
centage Of the pioneer class. Men
who had passion for rowing and dis
gust for work. Men who preferred d
hut, gun and fishing rod and few fox
traps, to cultivated fields, good houses,
schools, churches and railroads. Men
who would retreat constantly before
the advance Of such fruits and victor
iosof civilizations, VIII people never
learn that that day, aud that kind, and
that class of pioneering, has utterly
passed away, and is only remembered
as an unpleasant dream? Now, the
railroad and telegraph goes with, and
oftener in advance Of the pioneer.
Therefore men, men of culture, and
means, men Of energy and ability no
longer hesitate to 50 west and invest
their means and exert their energies in
subduing the wilderness, breaking up
the prairies, and bailding up towns
and cities. Such men do not weary
Of such work; on the contrary theS,
enjoy it. There is a novelty aud charm
about such labor and such enterprise
that language cannot fully express, and
wealth at the end to reward the laborer
Hence, the very best mind, muscle and
energy and pluck of the east, noW
comes west, and towns and cities, with
all their attendant conTeniences and
Injuries grow up as it were ia a day.
In a few months vast tracts Of country
heretofore nnyexed BY B single ear
mark Of civilization, afe converted into
cultivated fields and substantial lh0mes.
In this panorama OF active, intelligent
industry there is no place for the lazy,
the thriftless or the lawless They
are not here, and il one drifts this way
it is made 50 nncomfortably warm for
him that lie tarries not but HES him
self back to the east to curse the
country that has no use for him. Ii
you want good society, good schools
and good churches, unalloyed with the
coarse, the vulgar, the lazy and the
lawless Of the east, come west and you
will not be disappointed.

The extra allowance made by the

all in fidget to receive like increase

around the newspaper reporter for him
to write resolutions 10 put into the
hands of influential Senators. This your
reporter readily did for the sprightly
little fellows, for he has always found
them very accommodating, as for that,
it would be against newspaper ethics
ever to refuse request to even an

little statesmen in embryo.
