The Mining and Scientific Press. 235 PurLosopay ix THE Foot Hiius.—The following ideas, from a miner in a quiet and sunny ravine in El Dorado County, who, we are ready to vouch, is an honest man, 2s well asa philosopher and a poet, will be found eminently just, and suggestive: After inveighing against tho bad policy of mitiers running in debt and then lying idle with the expectatiou of selling out “fora big thing,” he continucs: Now is the time to look to your interest in all kinds of business; now is the time to stop talking about negros and mongrels, or Chinpmen bein pntin oftico; if you will Just take notice of some of our fellowmen and sce how degraded they are, no wonder the people in California is Coming allarmed on account of the blrck race. Why, half tho population of allthe mining towns that I have lived in are saloon-keepersand Idle harpers on politics, and gamblers with their hie heels boots, stuck up on some post as high allmost as he stands, ond with aJgood havana atthe expense of some working man, some good man swindled cut of his caruings. In ivy opinion these towns have got to be sifted of so much Idleness. I do not approve of onc man doing moore thanhe is able; any man that is aman, can work eight honrs. Many a poor Califoruian, broken down in health and bad Inck, now at this day Inys in some lone cabin, paralyzed, in the depbtlt of sorrow, old age coming on, and they seem to think they aro as young as ever, Only think, all yon that came here in forty-nine, twenty years aded to thirty, and have not laid np $50 a year. Why Mr. Evrrors its Enough to paralyze any industrions man to walk along these old deserted streams that has been so rich, and see men look so poor and degraded, in some old smoky cabin, and cobwebs andold burbon whisky bottles; now and then medicines for rnmatism or paralyzed invalides; aud these beautiful streams, —healthy tront streams,—oh just look you hoo have Leen here since forty-nine. No wonder my nabors often sny I’m in meelancholy love. Whit are the company now of these mon ? nothing but long tail, sultry looking Chinamen, or the buffalow head iudians, with as much hare on his head as a black Canadian pony’s mane or tail, and these flat Chinaman’s voices which sounds like tame geese eating corn Early of a cold and frosty morn, with now and then rx squeaking blue Jay which breaks the mealancholy reveri of all the day. Tue Fare ov Japanese Traverers.— Ritter enmity is still mauifested towards all Japanese who have traveled abroad, by their eountrymen at home. Kisabro, who visited the United States with Mr. Van Reed, a few years since, is said to be only saved from immolation by wearing the American uniform, as he is entitled to do as an attachéof the American Embassy. Even the titled nobles who came out here as Commissioners to purchase war vessels, and returned home with the ram ‘‘ Stonewall,” fared no better; in fact they were worse off than the others, as they, being ‘‘ Tycoon’s men,” labur under an additional disadvantage, especially in the south of Japan. Since their return to Yokohama, they have been keeping close under American protection, Satsuma, the present commander in that quarter, being determined, it is said, to make them each a head shorter if he can get his hands outhem. Finding their condition worse than that of Stote prisoners condemed to the galleys, and that there was uo hope of a speedy return of poace to their country, they fiually determined tc return to America aud remain for a time, atleast, in a land of freedom and personal safety. They accordingly returned by the Great Repnblic, and are now stopping in San Francisco. Mr. Winans, the American coutractor of the Petersburg Moscow Railway, is doing some service to legal science. He has had the whole “ Corpus Juris” of Russin, (the “Swod Sakonow”) translated into English, having employed thirty-eight men in his office for more thau x month; his object being to sustain his contract with the Russian Government. The translation is to be published iu London. GEO. E. ROGERS, (Successor to G. W. Bell.) A $ S$ A Y E RR, S12 Callfarnin at., San Frouclsco. J. A. MARS, Assayer. Ores carefully Assaycd.
