N EXPOSITOR; Tile Chinese ..Langu- ge---How Different Ideas are Expressed. reporter of the San Pyancisco _Bulletin has recently visited the ChineSe school at the California State Prison, and the followin4 statements are upon his :authority : (. The peculiar characteristics of this rade crops out in every direction. Imitationis the all prevailing power; with this facility they master the English language' in a remarkably -short space of time. In reading aloud they seldom became proficient; in writing the language they resort to imitittion, and speedily. (wet come all obstacles. Some of the, chirography -of the Celestials is equal to litho- graph in point 6f harmony and de- licacyonly one of the Celestials at taw institution is conversant with the ganclarin dialect of China ; he possesses an expressive countenance, .ilad is considered the handsomest specimen of his race within the pri- son walls. Ile is serving out a sen- tence. for a brutal assault -upon Mr. Boyd, Of this 6ty. In connection with this subject numerous inteiest- &ng facts -concerning the Chinese (language wee obtained from the able teacher of this department of the school. According to his state- ment, and he- has the confidence of the officers of the prison, the Chinese language is a string of monosyllables, and they are not numerous, tut their meaning is varied by different pro- nunciations. Thus the word tchia,spok- en by lengthening u; means master, when pronounced rapidly it Means kitchen, and when spoken with a loud voice, and 'depressed toward the end, it signitiespillar. The language 4 the provinces varies, and even among natives of the same province, signs are used to relieve the ambig- uity of words. There are not mor than. 350 sounds that can be dis- tinguished by the English alphabet, and the written language has 80, 000 characters, representing object or ideas. The vocal language bein so deficient to the ear, it is -common to prevent mistakes in talking t make with the finger tl* sign oftla -character that one means to expres. by the word; for 226 different an flesh side with. pu stone, and with the I will be very white. good mittens, and b for ladies in cold weather sofas and carriages. ice and he or rotten- , and they also make ful jackets or rugs -for discordant ideas are, on an- average to be expressed by one sound so simi lax that the difference cannot be con veyed by our alphabet. The Chines -characters seem devised as a coin munication between those who ar deprived cf speech ; the sign is some times arbitrary, and at others it re - resents the object described. Thu a prison is'represented by a square -denoting an inclosure, and the add' tion of a dot within it represents prisoner. The character that repre seats a 4sed twice denotes - _thicket, and thrice a forest.- Th character for .tim,e, repeated, mean eternity. Some of the combination of the characters to express othe ideas are ingenious. Thus the chat aeters combined of good and 2009* make praise. A bargain is denote by a word and a zail, comfort is pressed by rice and mouth, and ,li _tening by door and ear. The con pounds ate various; aud Many thein show the low estimation i which females are held in Chim The charactet of vicious is compos. d. of the sign of a woman and fugitive. Subjection. is denoted bv'the sign, of a woman and a claw. TO sco/d is ex- pressed by.. - the sign for two women. Anger is expressed i..sy the chfiractei's for women, and soar wine. Levity is -denoted by a character °of a ;man, placed between two 1.1,0211en. Some combinations, however, are expressed in a more gallant spirit. A young unmarried maiden is exprebsed by the charztoterS which denote woman and bending down. Ilandsome is denoted by the characters for a Ito-. -man and siglb. 1 R FOR TIIE VILLAGE OF SE JULIUS DILL f IN ACCOUN THE MUNICI EA wi AL PORT FORTH.
