HE MAIL IN CHINA.-But as regards
letters, considerable portion of the 100
0OU,OOO Cinnamon do occasionally exchange
letters-those who cannot write for them
selves hiring scribes TO do so. These letters
are consigned to firms which have houses
in all large towns, where letters are for
warded to distant ports, to he there dis
tributed by special agents, who generally
collect the postage from the receiver. There
was something comical in the fact that
when China was no longer able TO exclude
foreigners from Pekin, our British postal
arrangements were no sooner established
than some of the Imperial officials came to
ask Sir Frederick Bruce to forward certain
state documents for them between Pekin
and Canton. On the death of the Emperor
Hien-fUng, which occurred Just at that
time, intimation thereof was sent from his
country palace, Ia distance of 600 Ii. which
is upward of 200 miles, in "a hours. which
is the highest speed attainable in China.
But the placid Celestials, TO whom hurry
appears a form of vulgar Impotence and
to whom telegraphs are an abomination,
are content that all ordinary co.:.muni-
cations should be convened by slow
padding or polling boats, or else by foot
runners, whose high-sounding title of the
thousand-mile horst" does not quicken
their pace beyond twelve miles in twenty
four hours. They carry paper lantern
and paper umbrella and their letter-bag
is secured ontheir back by cloth knotted

in the name of the city. Mr.. Daily, Deputy

other going up by the steamer Damara, WIS.,
ting Saguenay, and reaching Quebec about
Thursday. The Quebec delegates will go

the French press, representing several Paris
papers. The delegates will investigate the
commerce and agriculture Of the Dominion.
Some of them may settle in Canada, while
others will look for profitable in
vestment in railway industries, etc.
The visit will greatly extend commercial
relations between France and the Domin-
ion. During the trip an association will be
formed, in order TO promote close inter
course with Canada. The French press
will agitate the question, which will no
doubt take large place in the public mind
in France.

up already an extensive correspondence on
the subject and the report of results is ex-
tremely gratifying. 1t may be now taken
as settled beyond peradventive that there

The action of the hydraulic miners, in
bringing suit and enjoining our SUpervis-

the def11ier resort ola desperate cause. There
Is but one sentiment upon the question in
MaTysville, and that is, that hydraulic min
ing must cease. The sooner the people of
the State awake TO this fact the better it will
be for all concerned, and especially will it
be better for the miner, who now is endeav-
oring, by hook or crook, 10 continue his

of berries are often gathered by family in

INDIAN GATHERING AsD Pow-wow. -
There was large gathering of Indians in

proceedings incident thereto lasted for a
full week. There were representatives
from Sacramento valley, various localities
in the foothills, and also from beyond the

Washoes. who were generally well clad in
the garments of civilization. The convo-
cation closed on Saturday. and on Sunday
the platforms of the railroad trains going
east and west were well occupied by the
dusky bucks and squaws returning to their
respective homes. In the early pioneer
days there was large number of Indians
near the present site of Colfax and old
Illinoistown, and it has remained a fayorite
gathering place for them ever since, at
stated times, for the holding of their fes-
tivals and pow-wows. The assemblage of

NOVEL Way TO CATCH CoYoTEs.-A GER
tain sheep man, who resides east of Red
ding, has lately been annoyed by coyotes.
who have played sad havoc with his hand.
They have killed a great number in the
past few weeks, and, fearing that they
would annihilate his band, he took the
following novel means to exterminate the
yelpers: He took the carcass of one of the
dead sheep, tied him at the end of long
rope, and, mounting horse after dark,
dragged the dead sheep around in circle
in the radius of a mile. Following in the
track made by the carcass, he had man
to drop small pieces of flesh meat saturated
with strychnine. The coyotes, in their
eagerness to catch up with the process
ion" never dreamed there was anything
wrong with the meat, and next morning
Mr.. Sheepman had the satisfaction of scalp
ing fourteen of these destructive animals, -
