STREET MINING.--I'he Sonora Creek
Tunnel and Mining Company, says the
Sonora Herald, are prosecuting their
work with energy. They have bridged
and planked the street for a space Of sixty
feet, In manner that satisfies all the
PROPERTY holders in the vicinity, and now
they are after the gold underneath. This
is no random speculation, for the claim
covers the bed of the creek, which inn
mediately above and below has been ex-
ceedngly rich.

The LARGEST CABBAGE IN THE WORLD
We received last evening from the garden
Of Mr.. John Aldersey, on the Mission
road, the largest cabbage that, probably,
the earth ever produced-certainly the
largest of which there is any account
This remarkable plant, standing in its
natural position, measures three feet and
one inch in diameter, including the loose
leaves surrounding the head. The head
itself, which is very solid and perfectly
white, measures thirteen inches in diam
eter, ap4 the whole weighs thirty-four
pounds. Another evidence OF the pro-
ductive mower of California soil. .4he.

An Indian war seems to have really
broken but on the northern frontier. The

mand of Captain Alden, Of the U. 5. A..

/ INrrREsrING observation-disclosures
ING SrAr1srIcs.-A gentleman who keeps
the run of facts, figures and fables has
lust laid before can enquirlhg world" the
following statistics:
The whole number of languages spoken
in the world amount TO SO64; VIZ, 5oI IN
Europe, 9S7 in Asia, 276 in Africa, and
1864 in America. The inhabitants of our
globe profess more than 1000 different
religions The number of men is about
equal to the number of women. The
average of human life is about SO years.
One fourth die previous to 7years, one,
half before reaching II years of age, and
those who pass that age enjoy felicity
(!) refused to half of the human
species. To every 1000 persons, only
one reaches one hundred years of age; to
every 100 only six reaches the age of
sixty-six, and not more than one in 800
live to eighty years of age.
There are on the earth ,OOO, ,OOO,OOo OF
inhabitants, and Of these 1888, ,3S3, ,S33 die
every year, 81 ,424 every day, $3.50 every
hour, 60 every minute, and every second.
These losses are about balanced ny an
ca al number of births. he married
are longer-lived than the single, and
above all, those who observe sober and
industrious conduct. Tall men live lon
ger than short ones! Women have more
chances of life in their favour previous to
being so years Of age, then men, but fewer
afterwards.
The number of marriages is in proper
ton to ITS to every 1000 indiVititals.-
Marriages are more frequent after the
equnoxes that is, during the months OF
June and December.
Those born in the spring are generally
more robust than others. Births and
deaths are more frequent by night than
by day. The number of men capable OF
working or bearing arms is calculated at
one-fourh of the population.
Some of these statements are rather
sngula and yet many OF them are sus-
ceptible of an easy solution. That mar
rag ages take place more frequently in June
and December than other months OF the
year, was just what we have always ex-
pected was the case. Those who marry
in June; do so because they cart help 1t;
while those who cohnuhalize in Decen-
ber, do so doubtless to guard against the
chilly pillows which distinguish the frost
bitten months of winter. The matches
which come off in June are brought about
by green fields and the contagious in
fluence of bobolinks and yeilow-birds;
while those which happen in December
are brought about, in degree, by mixing
pain mathematics with the market value
of flannel under-garments.-N. Y. Dutch

ships Supply and Caprice. The U, s.
steam frigate Powhattan, belonging to the

in Cape Colony, on the goth of April for
Mauritus. She ought to have reached
Hongkong by the 7th of June, the date
of our advices from that place. Com
Perry left Sranghae on the 10Th of May
with the steam frigates Su~quehannah and
Mississippi for Loochoo, group in the
North Pacific ocean, nearly midway be-
tween Formosa and Japan. He 's doubt
less on his way to Jeddo. 1t will be seen
that the foreign residents Of Shanghai
had endeavored to prevail upon our Min
lister to prevent the sloor-of of-war plymouth,
from fol owing the Susquehann~h, but of
course Mr.. Marshall had no authority to-
do so.
