A California Dinner.
A correspondent ol the New York Express gives the
following spirited description of a California dinner.—
It occurred at a place called Piscadera, a collection of
live or six ranchos about ten miles South ol the mission
of To las Santos. The party, of whom the corre-pon
dent formed one, took possession of the rancho for the
night:
“As the old rancho was too miserably poor to furnish
us any thing but beef, we sent a messenger to some ot
the neighboring farm-houses to purchase a quantity of
chickens, which we turned over to the ol I man's daugh
ter to be cooked lor <u general supper. The old ranclie
ro had five unmarried daughters, from 25 to 19 years o’
age, arid ns pretty as need be looked for in a California
farm-house. To good Spanish features, without a
mixture of Indian flood, were added forms that Venus
herself might envy, wearing dresses without sleeves,
aud low in the bosoms, (like our belles at home when
they wish to display their cha ins in the ball room.)
and being too poor to afford reboses, with which the
Mexican ladies usually conceal their budding beauties,
these simple belles of Pescadera, in their calico robes,
and without the nil of cotton, grass, bran or whale
bone, presented as lovely features as the eye could ever
wish to gaze upon ; so that, with “beauty unadorned”
and chickens well cooked, we anticipated a very plea- j
sant evening’s entertainment. At length the chickens
made their appearance in the shape of a Spanish stew,
well seasoned with chile, and with a savory smell not
unpleasant to the olfactories of hungry men. It came
in upon an immense earthen dish, anil a difficulty now \
presented itself itt serving it up m proper style for the |
fast. Being on a foray, or hasty reconnoisance, we
brought with us no other table furniture than our clasp
knives and metallic drinking cups. Tne latter an
swered well enough for our coffee in the field, and the j
former served us perfectly for cutting up our beef into I
slips suitable for roasting hy our camp fires. But now |
that we had ladies to entertain, the case was different, j
and it was no easy matter to supply the deficiency, for j
one large dish and a knife or two constitute the usual
funiture of a Californian rancho, and an earthen pot,
with an iron skimmer, the entire batterie de c Csine.
The house of our friends, however, was better provid- !
ed than most establishments of the kind, and on exam- !
ination three cracked plates were found stowed away,
under the be I. These being produced, an old wooden j
trunk, which was:he only thingofthe sort in the house, j
was hauled out into the middle of tiie room to serve as ;
a tube, and blocks of wood arranged around it for seats. 1
The big dish of savory meats being placed in the cen
tre, and surrounded by the thin cracked plates, each !
one selected a fair companion, who, r thing both, seat
ed herseli by his side, ready to do justice lo her own
crockery. The block of wood being rather short, it I
became necessary tor the gentleman and lady to sit in
rather close proximity, and lest she might slip off the
sent, it was equally necessary for hi in to keep one arm
rather tightly around her waist, while the other hand
did the double duty of feeding both the entertained and
the entertainer. As each gentleman had but a single
cup, of course the fair lady was obliged to drink from
the same cup with her cavalier ; and ns there were but
three plates for five couples, six persons helped them
selves from those plates, while the other four were obli
ged to feed from the general reservoir in the centre.—
Tt is true that we were deficient in knives and forks,
but then you know Haonus discovered that fingers were
made before either, and those who have never trieil the
experiment can hardly imagine what convenient things
chicken legs are to hold up to the rosy inis of your sweet
heart, while she delicately nibbles ofi the fleshy en
case. nent. A! er the dinner a dance came oii', which
was continued into the small hours.”
Chinese .Etiquette.
The Chinese are so punctilious that their code of efi*
queue outvies the most ceremonious courts in Europe.
As soon as a guest alights from his sedan chair, he is
met by the host, who bows his head, bends his body
and knees, joins both hands in front, and with them
knocks his chest. When he wishes to be very polite,
he takes h s guest’s hand with his, and knocks it upon
his chest. This is their mode of shaking hands. Now
follows a polite contest as to precedence, which, after
various knockings, bowings, and genuflections, ter
minal's by the host and guest entering the house to
gether. In file sitting apartment another ceremony
takes place, equally protracted and irksome. The
point to be determined is where each shall sit, and who
shall be seated first. Etiquette extends even to a de
cision on tie size of a chair, by which invariably the
rank or importance of a guest is determined. The host
now motions ton large chair, and attempts to take a
smaller one himself Good breeding compels the guest,
in his turn, to refuse tins compliment; and alter a
wearying contest of politeness, the point is amicable
adjusted 10 ihcsuMaction ofthe belligerents, either by
both prunes sitting down simultaneously on the same
bench, or upon two chairs ot equal dimensions. The
fatigue oi tins courtesy may be easily conceived, as the
same routine is performed o” the arrival of each guest
As soon ns the guests are assembled, tea is handed
round in covered cups, which are placed insilver stands
in the font! of a boat. These are (luted aid beautifully
chased The cups, on the occasion to which I refer,
were of that antique porcelain so exceedingly valued,
which istlii.i as paper, pure white, perfectly transpa
rent. and is ornamented with obscure figures, whose
dark outlines are only perceptible when the vessel is
filled with te-. Tii? mode ot making tea in China is
similar to that in which coffee is made in Turkey.—
The tea is put into the cup, boiling water poured over
it, an I instantly covered, to prevent the escape of the
aroma, with a itd, wh uli is used as a spoon to sip the
tea. They never us?sugar or milk wi it tea in Cnina.

Mexico and Peru.
It is a singular fact that the use of milk was unknown
on this continent at the time of its discovery by Co
lumbus The civilized empires of Mexico and Peru
were ns ignorant of the value of this, the most natural
nnd ever pres mt aliment, ns the rudest tribes. How
they escaped the knowledge, with the example ol
sucklings before fii m, is unaccountable, but the fact
is well attested. The cosvs and horses, which now
swarm in countless multitudes on the table lands of
North and South America, were introduced by the
Spanish conquerors. Beasts of draught and burthen
(if we exempt the gentle Llama of Peru) were equally
unknown. All burdens were carried on the backs of
men, and the gorgeous sovereigns of Mexico and Pent
had no other means of conveyance for their own per
sons or tlte business of State than their Indian runners.
The rmds and bridges of those countries were adapted
to th hare or lightly sandalled feet of these couriers
They wetp narrow, smooth nnd of exquisite finish. One
that traversed the whole length of Pern was laid with
flags with all the finished elegance ola Roman pave
ment. In Mexico, and especially in Yucatan, these
fine pavements are often struck across by the rough
paths ofth” present inhabitants, and may be followed
for miles through forest an I undergrowth in almost
original perfection, the superior workmanship having
endowed them with the strength to resist the neglect of
centuries.
Joys of another Life.
The following beautiful passage is from a discourse
preached some years since, by Rev. A. P. Peabo ly,
of Portsmouth, N. H:
“We apprehend that very vague and low ideas are
generally en ertaineJ with regard to the happiness of
heaven. The tree of life is thought to bear but one
kindot trait. Tit.'state ofthe blessed is imagined—
not as a state in w! ich every faculty may have full de
velopment and free scope—but as a narrow round, of
pleasures indeed, yet of pleasures the same to all and
always. We often hear the lift? of heaven spoken ol as
a life spent i 1 singing praises day and night without
ceasing. Now, though devotion constitutes the purest
enjoyment ot which man is capable, the immediate act
of devotion would grow tedious, unless the mind could
roam atrroad and seek new materials for pious thought,
new subjects for praise, new fuel to feed the flam? of
love. This is the case of the Christian on earth A
file of abstract devotion has no charms for him. But it
is his aim and bis delight to seek out in the course of
nature, in the ways ol providence, in the haunts of men,
in the various posts of duty, themesfor praise, thanks
giving and love ; and then, when he approaches the
altar of his God, he lavs upon it an offer ing witch every
scene, every circumstance of |jlie, has contributed to
render rich nnd fragrant. Thus must it be in heaven.
The tree of life must bear divers kinds of fruit to suit
the taste, to expand the mind, to cherish the devotiotj
of those who have passed through unlike sc-nes of
1 earthly disciplme. The reason why we are toi lso lit
tle in the Bible about the toys reserved for the righteous,
is, not that they are in their nature inconceivable, but
that they are in their variety inexhaustible, so that,
should 1 hey be set forth in writing, even the world it
self could not contain tiie books that’shouldbe written.”
Granitevliie.
The enterprise of our former townsman, Wm. Gregg,
Esq., says tlte Columbia Telegraph, has signally dis
played itself in the establishment of the manufacturing
village of Graniteville, which is thus descrilred by the
Editor of the Abbeville Banner, who recently paid it a
1 visit. We regard one such citizen as Mr. Gregg as
more tenefic al to the State t lan scores ;)fspoutingj o Iti
cians, who “neither toil nor spin,” and who are wise in
their own conceit beyond “Solomon in ail his glory.”
We honor the working man who is not a mere fun
gus on the community, who labors, with hand or brain ;
and Mr. Gregg has brought into play resource# un
i dreamed of in our State until his precept and example
stimulated tlfom. Old Richland may wdl be proud o.
having first appreciated the value of such a citizen :
Granitevliie is located on Big Horse Creek, one mile
from the S. C. Rail Road, three miles from Vaucluse,
five miles from Aiken,and eleven from Hamburg The
natural beauty of the spot is very great, and we risk
nothing in saying, that the wild and picturesque so-ne
ry is sure to attract the attent on of the visitor.—The
village is situated in a beautiful vaf y, surnuinde ! by
hills otsueh iieight as to be well entitled to fii? name ot
M nuntains.
The Granitevifle Company was formed in 1845. and
: obtained a charter from the Legislature with a capital
joi $390,000. Tiiey own nine thousand acres of land,
i which was purchased at the price of $1,25 per acre, and
which embraces several fine Mill sites, in March 1346,
j they commenced building Saw-mills, nnd from these
mills, they have supplied themselves with Lumber f r
! all building purposes.
Tne Village fa regularly laid out with very broa 1
streets, and already contains upwards of a hundred
houses. The style of building is principally Gothic.
But the building which will fix the eye ofthe visitor,
now demands our notice, we mean the Factory. It is
350 feet long, 50 tret wide inside, two store -and an
j attic high, wiih a Picker House 84 feet by 42. two sto
ries high, and all built of Granite blocks. It will be
I warmed by steam pipes passing through it, and will
1 contain 9,540 spindles, and 300 looms, whii-h will !e
I employed in m iking brown shirtings, 37 inches wide,
! shirting and drilling 30 inches wide, from No. It yarn
: When in lull operation it will turn out 14,0't0 yards
! cloth per day, nnd consume aboir 4,009 bales of Cotton
per annum. The machinery is of the finest kind, and
i we have reason to think is better than any now m use,
ias it embraces tiie most recent improvements. The
I water fa taken from Horse Creek by a handsome and
’ substantial stone dam, three quarters of a mile above,
| and conveyed to the Factory by a Canal 15 feet wide
i at bottom, 37 feet at surface, 51 fact deep, and convey
ed from the canal to t ie turbine wheels, which drive
the Factory, through round trunks 41 feet in diameter,
under g-ound The Factory building.it will be per
ceived, fa of great size, and the appearance is most im
posing. Some forty or fitly operatives are now at the
looms, and the work of putting up tlte machinery is
rapidly approaching completion, in a short time 400
op ‘rativ; s will be seen in lie Factory. We were much
Siiuek by the appearance of the operatives. The fe
males were neatly, we any well add. tastily dressed,
and there was a degree of attention :•> the person,’
which will satisfy th? most fastidious. There is noth
ing in the nature ol the employment to prevent this, and
we feel assured that the public spirited projector of this
enterprise will insist upon it. The Factory Court is
about 550 feet by 300. It is handsomely laid out, and
the whole ground is covered by a rich,luxuriant grass,'n
terspeised with flowers and evergreens. A beautiful
jet d'ttfup'uys unceasingly but silently, forming a de
hghtlul contrast to the movement of heavy machinery,
and particularly the sound ofthe Planing and Sawinu
Machine, which one can hear even in the distance, ;
without teeling that Ins integrity is invaded The
whole village is on an inclined plain, which continues
tor a halt mile or more to tlte summit of theCh >ik Hills
in the rear. The Factory is at the lowest point, and
the streets in parallel hues, and risinganiphitheatre
like towards tiie summit, overlook it. Tne emails
the upper boundary of the Court and fa s >tne 49 or 50
teet above the level of the Factory. On the side next
the Factory are Warehouses an.l Merchandize, white
oirahe other, are rows ol weeping willows, which hang
j gracefully over it.
The ascent from the Factory’ to the main street is
j along, a clean white walk, with the water gentlv rip
pling on either side, up a succession of granite steps
winch carry you over solid masonry through a tasty
iron gate opening upon the lower embankment of the
canal which is crossed by a neat and substantial bridge.
Standing upon the bridge with the < ye directed to
wards the Factory, the prospect is extremely beautiful.
The falling grounds, the green carpet which is spread
j before you, tne graceful jet, the massive yet elegant
j granite building,nnd in the distance in the back ground,
■ tiie loity hills cloihed in perenniafverdtire,and seeming
; to cast their shadow over all ; these are some oi the
elements of the picture.
A Man over Niagara Fat’s!
A correspondent of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
writing on the 2nd of October, gives the following
thrilling narntive. Whether true or false the story will
bear a perusal :
“At aboir sundown Int evening, a man was carried
over the Falls. Who he was is not known. From Ids
management of the sail-boat in which he cmne down
the river, I think It? was not well acquainted with the
current or the rapids. His dress and appearance indi
cated respectability, and after begot into th? rapid# his
self possession was most extraordinary. His boat was
a verygo.nl one—decked over on the bow, and I should
think w >u!d carry three or tour tons. From what I
learn of a sail-boat having been seen below B;ack
Rock,coining down, l think it fa from there or Buffalo.
No other than a person unacquainted with the current
above the rapids, would venture so near them.
“ I was on the head of Goat Island when I first dis
covered the boat —then near haif a mile beiow the foot of
Navy Island, and nearly two miles above the Falls.
There s*etn?d to be two in the boat. It w:s directed
toward the American shore—the wind blowing from
this shore, and stiil the sail was standing. Being well
acquainted with the river, I regarded tire position of
the boat as extraordinary and hazardous, and watched
it with intense anxiety. Soon 1 discovered the motion
of an o ir.and trout tiie changing direction of the boat
concluded it had but one. Winfo* constantly approach
ing nearer and nearer fit? rapids, f could discover it
was gaining the American shore, an I by the time it
had got near the first fall in the rapids, about hall a
mile above Goat Island, it was directly abov • tiie is
land There it was turn?J up the river, and for some
time the wind kept it stationary.
“ The onlv hope seemed to be, was to come directly
to Goat Island, and whether l should run had a mile to
give alarm,or remain to assist, in the event the boat
attempted to make tne Island, was a question of ,;,in
lul doubt. But soon the boat was again turned toward
the Am, liehi sh >re. Tnen it was certain ,1 mast go
down the American rapids. 1 ran tor the bridge saw
and in! irmed u gentleman and iaJy just leaving the Is
land, but they seemed unable to reply or move. T rallied
a man at th? toil-gate-we ran to the main bridge in time
to S; e the host pist helore it gut to die firs iargelall in the
rapids. Then l saw but one man—he standing at the
stern with his oar, changing the course ot tiie boat
down thecurreni a id as it piu ged over, lie sat down.
I was astonished to see the bout rise with the mas* nnd
sail si. ndmg, and the man, again erect, direct ng the
boat toward shore. As lie came to the next and to
each succeeding fall he sat down, and then would rise
and apply his oar in the intermediate current.
“ Suil there was hope that he would come near
enough to the pier lo jump, but in a moment it was
gone. Another, that he might inmp upo the rock near
the bridge, but the current dashed hint from it under
th? bridge, breaking the mast. Again he rose on the
opposite side, i aking Ins oar and pointing Ins boat to
ward the main sii re, he cried, “Had 1 better jump
front the boat (” We could not answer, tor either
seemed certain destructi in. Within a tew rods ot t.r?
Falls, the bout struck a rock—turned over and lodged.
He appeared to crawl from under it,and swum with the
our in his hand till he went over lire precipice.
“ Without tlte power to render any assistance—for
half an hour watching a strong man'struggling with
ev?i y nerve tor -tie,yet doomed with almost Lie certainty
ot destiny to an immediate and awful death, still hop
ing with every effort for his deliverance—caused an in
tensity of excitement I pray God never again to expe
rience.
“ l write too hurriedly for publication, but I have
stated all we have seen or know respecting the man or
boat, and from which I hope vou will be aole to glean
so m ich for publication us will lead to the discovery o
the man.”
Firmness of Character.
Man should be firm—woman should be firm—all our
(focisious and doings should show firmness and reason.
Wnatcan weeded by a trifling, viorating course ’.
Does any one know of a man who ever became rich
or h ippy, o 1 account ot there being 11 > and *p?ti fo-.ic* to
be put in him ! We pres une not. Firmness of char
acter, curries a man through the world easily, and
makes him re pented by all,gains tor him a gooj name
and sheds around him innumerable blessings. With
out it he is despised by hi* Inends, led into a thousand
nares ny ins enem es, entt -ed irom virtue by those wes
least expect, and finally may commit crimes tor want
of firmness to resist the allurements ol vice.
Firmness ot character stamps the image of man with
something more thin animal. It raises him above the
grovelling earth, above temptation from the path ol
virtue, above all petty feelings ol the heart. It is the
rniin composition of a General, —the necessary accom
plishment ot a Friest,—the making of a Judge,—and
finally the security of brave men and pretty women.

animals, places mts mode of employing it far ahead of

A planter ran iiiteiiig-',it man) in one of our conn tits,
who pursued the ginning of cotton, had accumu

him from Georgia a firm iwiief. that “asanianurc.it
