The people of Nevada County are in earnest in their present talk both about wagon roads and railroads. They see in arational pointof view the want—the necessity, even ofa railroad to carry on the immense transportation that is incident to the vast reciprocal commerce which in the existing state of things, must be carried on between the Mountains, and vallies and cities below.

Judging from the CHINESE THEATRICALS. The celestial Play gocrs appear to be having a good time of it just now, as we notice the Chineseat the lower end of sown is pretty well thronged, both night and day, with great numbers ofsChincse, besides a pretty good sprinkling of Americans. We spent an hour or so there on Tharaday evening, when we were politely furnished with an interpreter, who took a seat beside us, and with whose assistance we were enabled to understand quite fully the general feature ofthe play as it proceeded. The performance on this occasion was ofa historic melo dramatic character, and of course in Chinese dialect. It appeard to have for its fonndation a condition of things very much like the present state of affairs in China, when some powerful rebel chief was in arms against the regularly constituted Empire. Daring the Eperformances, the Exyperor was several times personified upon the stage surrounded by his counsellors, and high dignitaries. The great council of state was al80 presented in session. Prominent military characters were also introdaced, as well 48 common soldiers of both cootending par ties. When fully understood there appears tobe quite as much plot and machinery about their plays. as is found in the majority of English pieces. Of course everything is Chinese and to civilized minds uncouth and grotesque, but our interpreter informed us, correct representations of Chinese life and customs, Even the music, which is kepsap so continually, asan accompaniment toevery thingsaid and done on the stage, we are imformed is to this day, in, to all disimportance China, a usual accompaniment . cussions or conversations of either administrative, legislative or judicial Their plays are mostly historical and those now in course of presentation here, are not continuous from day to day, as is by many . supposed, bat are each seperate and distinct, } and are announced, each successive day by placards posted in the theater in Chinese . hieroglypbics. The painting of their faces . and occasional fantastic dresses, are trathful personations ; and those thus presented } generally represent distinguishel warriors The painting is done with the same view and . very much in the manner of our American Indians in tho central portions of the continent. The most perfect order is maintained in the room, and so far as the acting is concerned. there ia far less license on the stage so . faras we can ‘learn than is witnessed in the best conducted Amarican theaters. A large number of our citizens have attended the . exhibitions from time to time. and several ladies have also been present. It isa novelty well worth seving. We commend Mr Au . Poo, the gentlemanly manager to the kind consideration of our citizens. The place of exhibition; through 1t may be very ugreeable to oar Chinese friends. is anything but isuch to “the out side barbarians.” We . would suggest the propriety of a change for la few evenings to Hamilton Hall. Reader if you wish to see Chinese life, manners and . customs, go and investa dollar there—it j will cost much less thana trip to China, where you can see but little more. . } Mechanie’s Lustiinte.

The San Joaquin Repudlican, in advocating the policy of publishing the State Laws at the time of their evactiment, in some one of the county or district newpapers, makes the following tauthfal observations : ‘We do not approve of extensive legis!ation but we would contend that publication of the laws should be as extensive as their general application. Ifit is the business of Legislatures to annually increase the number of laws, it is their duty to cause sach pu. blication to be made of each statute as will enably every inbabitant to readily obtain ® . to work an intentional wrong to a neighbor. / . Wines, Liquors, and Cigars, proper knowledge of the system of government. Itis more requisite thatevery man should be conversant with the law. than that one shall be surrounded by many administrators and professors of law. For this undeniable state of ignoranoe in regard to public rulesof action. there is one readily accessible remedy—autborized publication in the public journals, asit is done in New York, Ohio and others Stages, The newspaper is the common . source of general information, and if the laws were published in a newspaper in each county, or senatorial or representative district, te people would be thankful for the benefit, and through the improved knowledge of law, the troubles of small and great litigation would lose their places in the intercourse of neighbors and ' WATER FOR IRRIGATION. . We notice a new and important work . now in course of corstraction in Yolo County which will undoubtdly prove the precursor of numerous works ofthe kind all through the great lower valleys of the state. According to the Knight's Landing News, a canal for irrigation, of very considerable dimensions is now being constructed by the Yolo Agricultural Canal Company, to take . water from Casche Creek to. Ggscheville, a . distance of five mites, and to be extended as circustances may The work to Cascheville will coat $16,000. It will be about three feet seem to require. deep, from ten to fifteen feet wide at the base sloping to the . top, and have a total fall of nearly sixteen It will be able to discharge 9.800 cubic . feet of water pet minute, with a velocity of . feet. 268 feet or about 35 miles per hour. Farmers will receive the water within embank. . ments, and let it stand until the soil is suf. ter were torn off. ficiently soaked, A NEW We have received, from the Publishers, Messrs Hl. H.

From a basty examination of the work, it appears tous to be just what every business man It contains all manner of legal and needs. and peculiarites of this state, with abstracts of nearly all the laws involved in ordinary business transactions. The miner will find some thirty-eight pages devoted to mining laws, decisions, rights, &c. which cover nearly every possible question which can arise.

The people of Nevada County are in earnest in their present talk both about wagon roads and railroads.

Judging from the CHINESE THEATRICALS. The celestial Play gocrs appear to be having a good time of it just now, as we notice the Chineseat the lower end of sown is pretty well thronged, both night and day, with great numbers ofsChincse, besides a pretty good sprinkling of Americans. We spent an hour or so there on Tharaday evening, when we were politely furnished with an interpreter, who took a seat beside us, and with whose assistance we were enabled to understand quite fully the general feature ofthe play as it proceeded. The performance on this occasion was ofa historic melo dramatic character, and of course in Chinese dialect. It appeard to have for its fonndation a condition of things very much like the present state of affairs in China, when some powerful rebel chief was in arms against the regularly constituted Empire. Daring the Eperformances, the Exyperor was several times personified upon the stage surrounded by his counsellors, and high dignitaries. The great council of state was al80 presented in session. Prominent military characters were also introdaced, as well 48 common soldiers of both cootending par ties. When fully understood there appears tobe quite as much plot and machinery about their plays. as is found in the majority of English pieces. Of course everything is Chinese and to civilized minds uncouth and grotesque, but our interpreter informed us, correct representations of Chinese life and customs, Even the music, which is kepsap so continually, asan accompaniment toevery thingsaid and done on the stage, we are imformed is to this day, in, to all disimportance China, a usual accompaniment . cussions or conversations of either administrative, legislative or judicial Their plays are mostly historical and those now in course of presentation here, are not continuous from day to day, as is by many . supposed, bat are each seperate and distinct, } and are announced, each successive day by placards posted in the theater in Chinese . hieroglypbics. The painting of their faces . and occasional fantastic dresses, are trathful personations ; and those thus presented } generally represent distinguishel warriors The painting is done with the same view and . very much in the manner of our American Indians in tho central portions of the continent. The most perfect order is maintained in the room, and so far as the acting is concerned. there ia far less license on the stage so . faras we can ‘learn than is witnessed in the best conducted Amarican theaters. A large number of our citizens have attended the . exhibitions from time to time. and several ladies have also been present. It isa novelty well worth seving. We commend Mr Au . Poo, the gentlemanly manager to the kind consideration of our citizens. The place of exhibition; through 1t may be very ugreeable to oar Chinese friends. is anything but isuch to “the out side barbarians.” We . would suggest the propriety of a change for la few evenings to Hamilton Hall. Reader if you wish to see Chinese life, manners and . customs, go and investa dollar there—it j will cost much less thana trip to China, where you can see but little more. . } Mechanie’s Lustiinte.

The San Joaquin Repudlican, in advocating the policy of publishing the State Laws at the time of their evactiment, in some one of the county or district newpapers, makes the following tauthfal observations : ‘We do not approve of extensive legis!ation but we would contend that publication of the laws should be as extensive as their general application. Ifit is the business of Legislatures to annually increase the number of laws, it is their duty to cause sach pu. blication to be made of each statute as will enably every inbabitant to readily obtain ® . to work an intentional wrong to a neighbor. / . Wines, Liquors, and Cigars, proper knowledge of the system of government. Itis more requisite thatevery man should be conversant with the law. than that one shall be surrounded by many administrators and professors of law. For this undeniable state of ignoranoe in regard to public rulesof action. there is one readily accessible remedy—autborized publication in the public journals, asit is done in New York, Ohio and others Stages, The newspaper is the common . source of general information, and if the laws were published in a newspaper in each county, or senatorial or representative district, te people would be thankful for the benefit, and through the improved knowledge of law, the troubles of small and great litigation would lose their places in the intercourse of neighbors and ' WATER FOR IRRIGATION. . We notice a new and important work . now in course of corstraction in Yolo County which will undoubtdly prove the precursor of numerous works ofthe kind all through the great lower valleys of the state. According to the Knight's Landing News, a canal for irrigation, of very considerable dimensions is now being constructed by the Yolo Agricultural Canal Company, to take . water from Casche Creek to. Ggscheville, a . distance of five mites, and to be extended as circustances may The work to Cascheville will coat $16,000. It will be about three feet seem to require. deep, from ten to fifteen feet wide at the base sloping to the . top, and have a total fall of nearly sixteen It will be able to discharge 9.800 cubic . feet of water pet minute, with a velocity of . feet. 268 feet or about 35 miles per hour.
