The road is a granite causeway, _ built nearly three centuries ago, and now worn into deep ruts.und holes. Our two*chairs were’ borne by sixteen coolies, relieving one another iu sqtinds of four each. A bitter cold wind nearly blew us over, and made us shiver fer hours as with the agne, retarding our progress so that we did not reach the city until night. We could hear a great bell in the distance tolling the hour for closfng the gates in the wall,and had gloomy anticipations of being left outside all night. Fortunately word of our coming went ‘ahead, ‘and ‘the gates were kept open fot us through the outer and inner walls inctosing. the Chinese and Tartar cities; These walls are 30 feet high, and about 20 feet wide at the top, built of larze bricks filled im, with earth,and crenesated on the outer side.

A. GOLDSMITH. NEVADA CITY, Cal. e ee ~ ‘The editor of the San Juan-Times, Judge O. P. Stidger, asserts we ‘have taken a new departure, by stating on the commencement. of our new volume that the ‘TRaNscripr, was an independent paper. ‘The Judge is very short-sighted; to. say the least. The Transcrrpr declared itself an independent paper in Nov., 1873, and the article was written by O.?. Stidger, who was its ‘editor at that time, in which -he stated ‘‘that. the Transcript will be in the future an independent paper. Neutral in nothing, independent in everything,”’ which was the language used by the aforesaid Stidger, So we fail to see where the ‘‘new departure comes in. The present editor of the‘TRanscrirr on assuming the editorial duties, stated in his salutatory that “The TRaNscRIPT will continte as . an independent paper. It will be the representative of the local interests of the county instead of the interests of a party,’’ and so it will be. ‘ Masontc Fungrat.—Yesterday afternoon the funeral of William H. -Holbrooke, of Boston,--Mass., took place.

The road is a granite causeway, _ built nearly three centuries ago, and now worn into deep ruts.und holes. Our two*chairs were’ borne by sixteen coolies, relieving one another iu sqtinds of four each. A bitter cold wind nearly blew us over, and made us shiver fer hours as with the agne, retarding our progress so that we did not reach the city until night. We could hear a great bell in the distance tolling the hour for closfng the gates in the wall,and had gloomy anticipations of being left outside all night. Fortunately word of our coming went ‘ahead, ‘and ‘the gates were kept open fot us through the outer and inner walls inctosing. the Chinese and Tartar cities; These walls are 30 feet high, and about 20 feet wide at the top, built of larze bricks filled im, with earth,and crenesated on the outer side.

The city is without drives, and no good walks, except on the wall-top, From that elevation, the wide-spread city with its numerous: trees interspersed among many colored tile roofs, pago+da shaped towers, and bronzed palaces, loos quite picturesque.
