Everywhere in California the OhlncHo are now working the gold mines uu tueir oh a account. The metal is sent directly to China, and ia smuggled out of the country in the name way that opium is smuggled in, Since 1860 the Chinese have taken from California mines the enormous sum of $U1,75Q,000. It is reported that the Czar of Huesin will shortly issue a decree abolish* ing the use of the knout in the public courts of that country. Not long ag# ho ordered the Governors of all the Provinces of the Empire to make a special report on this form of punish* mcnt. The report showed that the knout was often used for the most trivinr offenses, thnt women ?n<l dreu were not exempt from it, an ' that its victims were frequently ma inn .1 of life. The Governors were unsuimuue in favor of its abolition. William Deau Howells, while edittug a certain magazine, one day re* ceived from Elizabeth Stuart Phelps a story which he didn't care to publish, relates the New York Advertiser. It dealt with all sorts of unpleasuut people ; who used bad English and were not cultured. As Miss Phelps belonged to a ??crod coterie compose.I of people who were accustomed to havo their work accepted, whether it was good, bad or indifferont, William Dean vu a hole. But he finally netyed hiip to Miss Phelps, saying: ' F ^WWbn know this ia not a pleasant HJT ^Wtory." Miss Phelps changed the H*itle?originally "The Oystermau"? ^Jo "Not a Pleasant Story," sold it to jmother magazine and ont William off $ier visiting list. They met thereafter as strangers. ? i - Since the loss of lives on the coast of New Jersey at ths time of the recent givufc storm there hfti been iu? agitation in the seaport towns and Kunrner resorts along thai coast in favor of an extension of the ti'ne of employment of tho men in the United States LifeSaving Service. Four seamen of the wrecked schooner Mary F. Keiry were drowned at Asbury Park, for instanoe, within thirty feet of tho shore, while hundreds of people stood on tho beach unable to help them. Twenty-four seamen were drowned off tho New Jersey coast in a range of ton miles, where there were then four unoccupied life"Saving stations. The life-saving crews are discharged on May 1, and do not get employment again until September 1. It is argued that violent storms occur iu August, aud that th9 life-saviug crews at least should be employed from the beginning of that mouth. Nearly every large hotel in New York has an individuality, observes tho Journal, which is stamped on the facade of it by the people of different climes and parts of this country and in different trades a ho patronize them. Englishj&jnon end Canadians wuuiri not think of ^"putting up art any other plaoe than the Brevoort or Brunswick. The game of politics is indelibly imprinted on the Hoffman and Fifth Avenue. One can almost hear the beating of horses' hoofs when ho steps into the Coleman and Gilsey, and an inaider would not bo surprised if he saw a man running for a base or an umpire calling "Three 3trikes and out" in the Bturtevant. The corridors of the Imperial resemble a sooiable club in some Western oity. The Vendome is the homo of prosperous Hebrew merchants from all parts of the country, and there is just enough of a theatrioal flavor about the clientele to make it interesting. The Metropole is nothing more than a large and comfortable bachelors' quarters. In every part of the Gedney House the eyes are blinded by the glare of the footlights. This hotel is the home of the actor and the manager. The jingle *of money and the clipping of coupons can l>e heard in the Windsor and the Plaza. An air of serenity and comfort that riches beget permeates every nook and oranny in the spacions corridors of the Plaza, New Netherlands, Savoy and Holland House. t { PITHY NKW8 ITEMS.
