Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune. 8ax Fraxcisco, March 30.—There is a little patch of blue eky visible overhead to-day, and tbe canguine are in hopes that March is going out like a lamb. According tothe Signal Service, however, we are to have one more tremendous storm. They have been predicting storms all winter, and their predictions have been verified with most discouraging promptitude. Had Jean Ingelow lived in California this winter she never ‘would have written “ There's no rain left in the heaven.” A wreck of the big gale of February came {oto port a few days ago,—all that was left of the Gen. Miller,—a pretty little schooner which ran between this port and Alaska in the in- terest of the Alaska Fur Company. She wasso meat aud complete in her appointments as to be more like a pleasure yacht than a mercantile ves- gcl; was, indeed, altogether too datnty for the eervice in which she was engaged. She dared her fate by e2iling out of port In a sea which the pilot bosts wonld not brave, and was six hours beyond the heads. A terrifc eale sprang up just after ehe nad crossed the bar, ané no one of her crew could have cecaped with hie Jife, as no boat conld have lived in the sea which ran moun- ains high during the storm. The wrecked vesse) was pumped out_and towed into port a few days ago. "It was anticipated that the vodies of some portion of the crew would be found on board, but 70 vestige of Lumanity was discovered. The clock had stopped just six hours after rail- ing, and the chronometer had run some little time longer. The cargo has been pretty thoroushly churned during its ive weeks lossing in the sea, but it is stil] worth saving. As the hull of tne ‘vesgel remainy intact, it will not_be Jong before she will be speeding forth agair, but the nextcrew will wait for fair weather. e While £0ivs at ses have been meeting with dire digaster, some vessels in port have placed them- selves under the necessity of soecial espionnge. It hae become zn exccedingly diflicalt and dsncerous aflair to run the Custars-Houve tn San Fraacieco. There is a most complete svstem of survelllance maintained, more espec upon wares coming from China and Japan, and3 he is a €]y dog indeed who manages a little smugzling in that hine. ‘There are many unpleasant ways of carning living, but for long-continued discomfort, for Wwearing monotony and unsatiefactory result, 1 know of nothins that can compare with the oc- cupation of those men in the Custom-lonse em- plov who cuard the waters immediately surronnd- inz the Pacific Mas) Company's dock.

CININESE MERCHANTS. Eastern visitors invariably do their first sight- secing in Chinatown, and as fnvariably come with the fond idea that Chinese and Japanese mounsters, porcelain, bric-a-brac, and all the fanciful vagaries of modern taste are 1o be 1n- dulzed in at reduced rates. There is no greater mistake. Caltforoians pever had any penchant for Cnf nese and Japanese wares until latterly, when heir Eastern cousins set them the fashion. con- sequently there was for many vears no sale for these things fn San Fraucisco, and they were not imported 10 any grear extent. Even now 1he choicest 20ocs of every imuortation ure sent across the contnent, and a collector can do better in New York thau bere. The Chinese know very well that thelr patrons are chiefly Eastern people, and they are as voractous in,their greed as a Euror pean inokeeper. They ask the most exorbitant prices, on princi- ple. and reduce them when they must. Good shoppers—that 18 what the ladies call good snoopers—can ret along with them very well. They ramole around the shov, eclect the bits which please them here ana_ there. put them in a pile, and 26k John how much for the lot. - Then, maliog 8 lizhtning catculation, —women can make Jichtuing calculations according o a method of therr own,—thry deduct a-out 25 per cent of the price demanded, and offer John the diminmshed amount. Make the offer in twords and he will refuse you strenuousty. But, place the coin itsell_before bis Dutle. long, keen. ghitering eyes, and he will not Jet you go out of the shop unsatified. He does not come down in bis price by centle gradation: like the other race of bareainers, but falls straig from the pece to the offer, if he is going to accept itat all. Although these shons are Lept by the Chinese, Wwith the exception of a few American ex-residents #of Japan who have latterly gone into the tusinese, the roods dealt 1n are almost exclusively Javaneee, and are far superlor to the pre_uctions of 1be Celestials. A RICH CAPTURE. Some one of them must bave fatlen asleep at Tis post the otber night. or rather morning, for it was near day when some untimely traveler saw an expressman loading his wagon from a Waitehall boat which he bad watehed approach~ ine through the mists of the morning. Br some strange chance, a policeman was found without delay, who gave chase to the ex- pressman aud captured @ very choice load of contraband goods. It comsisted of 1,725 bals- vound boxes of opium, and 730 silk handker- chiefs and scarfs, the aegrezate value being estinated at from £10,000 1o $1:2.000. The duty on ovium is 80 per cent, and on silks 60 per cent. 5o that sowe one was saving himself anice bic bill or expense. As there are at lewt 100,000 Chinese in_ California. every one of whom consuwes 2 large atiount of opium, the quantity of that drug imported is something ime anense, and the tricks recorted to for its smugehns Aare ue ingenlous as they are uumerous.

The Californians began to patronize them when the paper fans and umbrelias came into fasblon,~two artlcles whose cheapuess and oddi- 1y hignly recommended them. Naturally, un- der these circumstances, they became 100 com- mon togive them enduring favor; and, whercas a sbort time ago a theatre or any assembly of ladies looked like a biz Japanese bazar, with their bundreds of wasiug parti-colored paper fans, the fashion is now almost obsolete.

Joseph Maguire, as he was called, was known to every one in California as the possessor of a soultul silver tenor voice. Its notes were familiar to every one, for he sang everywhere, for charity, for fun, for the love of it, and for money. There is nothing which is 5o ready a passport 1o good company as a zood voice. and 1t not un- frequently happens that tne poseessor of it has nothing clse o recommend him.

We had one here some ven or eight years ago which was a monster success pecuniarily. Camilia Urso, the little violinist, put her shoulder to the wheel, and, in conjunction with Mr. Sumner Bugbee, carried it through successfully. That concert was for the benefit of the Mercantile Library, au insti- tution which was then well nizh extinguished bydebt.

It has made an unexpected bit, and is played to niehtiy-increasing houses, Contrary to the usual theme of the French drawatists, it is the story of a good, true, pure little woman and s _devoied wife.

FELLOWS, Chemist—DEAR Sii: In May, 18G6.1was attacked with a severe dry cough, which contimued 1n isar<hness for some tinie, when 1 commenced expectorating a thick, whitish sub- stance; then Lraised o yreenish-yellow und elate- colored matter: then bieeding of the lungs set in, and other sywptoms of a very alarming character showed themselves. I consulted the leading physicians in Philadelphia nand other citics, who £ave me no cncouragement, 08 my disease was consnmption. I spared no expense to obtain felief, but found nome. ~In August I nad fullen in flesh from 155 to 136 pounde, and sink- l!:(g rapidly every day. friends in Paladelphia udvized me to Icave the ship and go-bome. At home they considered my case hopeless, and wished me to remain there, and not die in's for~ vizn country. T visited St. John in October of the sume year, on my way to Philadelphia to join my alnp, and was advised by a stranger. who noticed my shrunken form and facking cough, to try ** FELLOWS' COMPOUND SYRUP OF HYPO- PHOSPHITES ; and. as a drowning man will grasp at straws. T saw arayof liope 1n the sugsestion, and procared 1 bottle. The cffect warranted a further trial: and I bought a dozen bottles, and left St. John, and have been knocking about the Atlantic _ever since. As tnig ls the first time I huve vimted your city smee. I feel under an oligation to let you know the cttects produccd by this Syrup. I continued taking the remedy rezularly. Atfirst my appetite amproved, 1 rewained strength, then my consh gradually left me, and tnally the expectoration ceased, and, although the benefit was gradual, 1 note the change for the better every day; so that, after having taken ten bottles, 1 considered myself well. This was ab five monthe from the time 1 commenced taking the Syrup.
