Certain California journals are busr already with misrepresenta tions concerning the selection of a sitite for a harbor of refuge. The Alta criticises the report of Col. "Wilson, and to sustain its censure misquotes his report. He exam ined several points and made esti- mates thereon. The Alta applies j -what is said in remircl to a break- urnlnr nn t.lin nnrHi wlo nf Pa ! ,,a,,w' v" "..v. .. . -. vv. , Foul weather, -where the estimate I is for a work costing $G:G,0W), to j the report and estimate for a break- j water in anotner plane ivlm-li would cost ten millions.

Wilson, for the fact is that be personally examined the locality referred to, and on this knowledge approved the work and statements of the assistant engi neer. The Jact is, says the Ore- tronian, California wants the bar bor constructed on her own coast, where it would really be no liarbor of refuge, since the gales j fvm fho cnnlli Trct. iiuiimIv iirovnil .

Oa 110 account should it be south of Fort Orford. Bayard Taylor on tlio Chinese. The late Bayard Taylor, in his works on "India. China and Ja pan," gives the impressions of the Chinese from his own personal ob servations and information while in China, smys: It is my deliberate opinion that the 'Chinese are, morally, tiie most debased people on the face of the earth. Forms -of vice, which in other countries are 'barely named, are in China so common as to excite no comment among the oiativcs. They constitute the surface level, and below them are deeps and deeps of depravity so shocking and horrible that their character cannot even be hinted. There are some dark shadows in human nature which we naturally shrink from penetrating, and I made no attempt to collect in formation of this kind, but there was enough in the things which I could not avoid seeing and hearing, which are brought almost daily to the notice of every foregn resident, to inspire me with a powerful aversion to the Chi nese race. Their touch is pollution, mid, harsh as the opinion may seem, to the unimformed, justice to our own race demands that they should not be allowed to settle on our fioil. Science nury have lost something, but man kind has gained by the exclusive policy which has governed China for the past century. Mr. Taylor's opinion, it will be seen, was that justice to our own race demands that the Chinese should not be allowed to setSe on our soil. That opinion, formed by an intelligent observer of the habits .and practices of the Chinese in their own country, outweighs all the sentimental nish of those who, most of them, never saw China men, and know nothing about them. Tt is proposed in Texas to sell enough wild lands to build a new state house. A bill to allow persons charg ed with crime to testify in their own behalf has been defeated in the Texas legislature. Tacks placed points upward on the floor are said to interfere -with the movements of materialized Spirits -in Boston seances. l?oy Signal Compass. Captain William Hughes, of San Francisco ancisco, has invented a fog signal j mpass, which appears to be excel- I compass lentlv idantcd for themirnose ilftsirnrl. mi i . The rales governing its use are so simple that anyone can understand them, the system being to a certain extent, a modification to that used in sounding fire alarms. Some system by which vessels in foggy weather could indicate their course, and thus avoid collisions, has long been wanted The invention of Captain Hughes seems to provide exactly what is re quired. In brief it is as follews: On the outer circle of the compass card are the usual marlcs and letters i indicating the points of compass. Just j 1I15ldo lii th,s nuter circle is another i C"lrcle' iu wh!ch V Series of arbitrary numbers, which correspond 1,o 1tfintta iviints of the conmaix. said figm.es prilltud ()U lhe aain(J plnn on . aKke reiHtin u, the same points.

The board of directors of the Northern Pacific Railroad company have ordered to day twenty-live hundred tons of rails, to be purchased at once and shipped to eastern Washington territory. C. H. Wkigiit, President. New York, March 20. The board has ordered immediate xuirchasc of twentv-five hundred tons of iron or steel rails, to commence building east ward from the head of navigation on the Columbia river. I expect the work begun on the Paciticas well as on this not to stop until the entire road is completed. Fued'k Billings. "Kerosene Oil and Diphtheria. A correspondent of the Pittsburg (Pa.) Republican writes from West Chazy: "Allow me to say a few words of the greatest importance to the pub licthrough your journal, in regard to the terrible disease diphtheria, which is raging with great destruction of live3 throughout the county. It has raged here to a fearful extent, qoite a large number of cases proving fatal. There is a family li ing here b' the name of Light, a miller who moved here from Rochester this season. Mrs. Light said to some of tiie neighbors that previous to her moving here she had an attack of diphtheria, and cured it by the use of kerosene oil as a g-ir-sle, also swallowed seme: but the remedy was so simple that our citi zens didn't think anything of it until live of Joseph Jell ey's were taken down with the diphtheria. Their throats be came swollen and cankered terribly. Mrs. Jelley sent after her neighbor, Sirs. Milliette, who had lately lost a son by the disease, to ascertain wheth er it wasTjally diphtheria or not. Mrs. Milliette pronounced it diphtheria in v..w.lTOvni f..rm. Mrs. Jellev said she would use Sirs. Light's reine- dv kerosme oil which she gave her children as a gargle, also had them awallntv fiimift. Tim rhilrirfin recover- r . i swallow some. The children recover ! ed rapidly, and in a few days were out on the streets, several oiner cures are mentioned. iSSKThe best "poster" is that which isent regularly into the family .circle.
