About 12,000 Chinamen ate at work <>n the road-bed in j California, and an additional 10,000 have been contracted for. to be put upon the line next spiing, when the contractors will be gradiLg on this slope of the Sierras, and beginnini* to stretch their labor out on to f XT 1 II he plains and into the valleys of Nevada. 1 Now the track is completed to within 16 miles of the summit of the mountains, ana ; die following table of statistics, di t u ' - and altitudes, from Sacramento on to the i summit, shows how the iron pathway i> mounting the great hills of the Pacific slopes of the continent.

We i.ive been bIeSM-il w ilii a severe winter here, ['he oldest inhabitants unite in saving thai they have not known so severe a winter in ! iiuuv veafs.

There is one thing at lea-t •of which the people of Potter may be proud—and thai is their school houses. They are far ahead of New York in that respect. Ido not wish to convey the idea that tbev have more school houses, but that i they have better oner. To have large ana well ventilated school houses speak> well for the intelligence of any community. 1 think if some people who are always afraid of building them t< o large and afraid o expending too much money on them, could i change places with the teacher?, and be shut up it! a little house with twenty or thirty scholars for three or four months, change would come over the spirit of theii dreams* Yours Respectfully* J.

She hadn't had a new i bonnet since she was in Cincinnati the last i; time, and that was seven years ago, nor had -he seen artv of the new-fangled contrivan > ces—"trifles light as air'—w hiclt tlie wo ■, men wear now days in place of bonnets. , As a new bonnet was theeugro-sing theme . i in her mind on entering the city, of course -he was on the alert at, once to see what II the fashion was. Imagine her const-rna i: tion, then, in standing on Fourth-street, watching the people as they passed by. • For a time she was peifectly speechless, anp then she was observed to throw up Iter j hands, and exclaim : I "For tlie land sakesl are the women all j crazv, gaddin' through the streets with noih | iu' on th.-ir blessed headsf \\ hat's become |of all their bonnets V She went itito a millinery store and ac- I costed a "gentlemanly and obliging" young . 1 lady in attendance. ."You see 1 come ill 6 hull way from Ciar- I mount county to buy a bonnet.

When informed that the st\k-s she had j seen were the latest thitii; in the bonnet s line, the old lady's a-toni-hmi-nt increased , and ;-lie was thoroughly bewildered by the time she had examined each of the varie ties embraced iu the mil iner's collection, r ' particularly when she learned the accom * panying prices. j She looked at lieu old bonnet, which had ( been preserved so carefully during the ehan-jinrr fashions of seven years, and com . jtated t! with the fashions of to-!av, when the old ladv fairy wept. She declar ed it was enough to drive one crazv to see i O - such vanities as the women are running to I I now days "Twan't so when Iwas a gal," t said she. "Women wore bonnets in them days that Covered their heads, and tied 'em under their chins instead of fast'n 'em to t the back hair." She left in great disgust t and said site would go riyht back to Clair i mount and wear her old bonnet tiil in.lli j tiers got to making bonnets again. "MY BOY DRUNK !"—"Drunk!—my boy 1 1drunk!" and tears started from the moth ' j er's eyes, and she bent, her hea l in untit- I terabie sorrow. In that moment, the" vis 'j ions of a useful and honorable career were r | destroyed; and one of worthles-ness, if not ' | absolute dishonor, presented itself. Web !l did shekuow that intemperance w:i ks hand ' I in hand with poverty, shame and death; j and her mother heart was pierced as with i a sharp pointed steel. Ah, \oung man! if the holy fueling of '! lo\e for her who bore you i- not dea 1 witii -1 , in vou shun that which gives her jraiu; a 1- i here to that which gives her joy.

[From thi LouJou Dec. 15.] A highly imaginative trans Atlantic geographer lias lately informed lite world that America is, or Hi-ntly wi I I*-, a *v-tui trv bounJed on the nrth by the Asiatic circle, on the south by eternity, on the east by the rising sen, ami on the west bv the day of judgement. There are a set of bitter an 1 billions g.-nti men, chiefly of ihd Day persuasion, to whom tta.s kind ot ttii agery is g ill and worm wood. They are. miserable because America is Kg, and be cause she uses these laughably b;gvxprc-s --iuns. The real reason why tliev hate her is her government is so free, and the success ol it so wonderful; but since it d-'Cs not do to confess these facta, they are j always girding at her faults of manner and -t_\ !e—a practice which is alxuit as useful as t- rail at the Alleghany mountains for demg huge and craggy. For our pert, wo ! experience no more surprise or vexation at. the hype i fail res of our decendants la vond the Atlantic, than we should at seeing a likely lad split his trowsers in growing, or I tine, healthy baby reach his plump arms 'out for the moon. The thing is natural arid even satisfactory with the vounggiant ; that we leoe bred; and England, the inotli , or ot empires, o gbt to be heartily pleased | and amused at the glorious gasconades of lier mighty child. 1 she to be an elderlv and vex heiself because her sons outstiido lier, and her daughters shoot up (with a beauty and vigor that remind her how she ages ? She ought, if she were- hon est and hearty, to be glad and proud of 'youngsters —the like of whom history rtCv -1 er knew—to knit them to herself in hotels of firm love, and aim at making out fcf them an Anglo-Saxon family of empires which should girdle the world with thw language of Shakespeare, and the happy influence of that little matron islahd! We like to rea I these ridiculous sublimities, wherein our imperial cockerels crow thete selves well-nigh oh their legs with lustiness round the old Britnmc lien What A bir'i the American chicken will be when aii tl 1 * I sea liters come, if it can scratch and 'cfreV and flonrbii its spurs like this in an epOeii ' when it is but going through the barba u ism of a new civilization, and lifts the bv*st part ot its hackles to shoot. And if b'c no- j i-i.fi-> big words, we should like to know who is to blame these inventive Add flowery patriots? Has any other nati'ou forty millions of square acres of fat cofh groui.d for a baek-yftrd, which will grow six quarters to the acre, as long as you fike to plow the old crop in? Has any other n.utioji a mountain of Solid iron to ibhko plows of, iike Pilot Knob, in Missouri; or ise - oil under the ground and shore? of so I (-..'.M.-r along the lakes? Does hnv other nation double its population 6Vfcrv twenty years and suck in the emigration of I E iropo ..uioui c< inning it? Or chrrv carg>e< 'O'l > mil along one river? Or venture on the impudence of a Monroe ■loetrirte? or fight a war with a trill! ion soldiers an I havu them a!i home again, like boys after school within a year? Or what other people collects a revert tie of £118,000,000 sterling, and with .£-0,000- 00 •,i g . at a time in its exefte juer, laughs at a debt of £SO J,000,000, and en ' gages to wipe it out in ten years? Mr. Artei nus \\ ard say- lie timer knew a Van key who didn't talk about the R-H*ky Mountains except one, and lie was deaf 1 and dumb; but even he w rote a book aloiu tliein. \Y ho is stupid enough to la |at that?
