BURSTING OF THz RESERVOIR IN Co.
LUMBIA.-The bursting Of the great re-
servoir belonging to the Tuolumne Co.
Water Company, produced great con-
sternation in Columbia. The immense
sheet of water rushed furi0usly through
the streets, carrying wagons, carts, bar
rels, sacks-eyery thing before it, The
Gazette says, many came to the eonclu-
sion, when they heard the rushing of
the stream, that the world was again to
be destroyed byNwater, and dashed out
of their beds, without waiting to gather
up their clothes, to seek some more
elevated height to protest them from
overflow. The President of the Com.
pany has offered reward of $1,000 for
the detection and conviction of the per-
sons who cut the reservoir.

Hon. W. T. Barbour, Judge of
the 10th judicial District has. very
unjustly as we think, held the editor of
the Nevada Journal to bail in the sum
of $1,000, for contempt of Court, in
commenting on the testimony in a
stabblng case. We published the
Journals remarks at the time, and are,
we suppose in the opinion of this wise
and excellent Judge, equally guilty of
contempt towards the Ion. Court
We heretofore had a higher opinion of
Judge Barbour's common sense, if not
OF his legal entertainments, than to
suppose that he would be guilty of so
much indiscretion at any one time
The Judge, if he has not already, will
soon find out that he has got into the
wrong box Californian, 26th nit.

Travelling sketch.


The car was full OF passengers,
Ican't recall the number.
For had Just awakened from
An unrcreshing slumber,
When lady who sat iaciag roe,
Directly met my eye,
But urned away Immediately,
And smiled, knew not why.
When youthful folks who strangers arc
Are seated face TO fsce,
In the silence OF a railroad car,
A grave and formal place,
Their wandering eyes viii sometimes meet
BY some strange fascination,
And they cannot keep their faces straight,
Though dying with vsxation.
Sim pletons there doubtless are,
Whose mouths are always stretching,
But the guilceu mirh OF maden's eyes
And dim pied cheeks Is catching tu
First she laughed, and then laughed
Icouldnt say what at
Then she looked grave and looked grave,
And then she laughed at that
She underworld TO repress her mir,h,
But couldn't hold il half in,
For with face concealed behind book,
She almost died laughing.
She pouted when she found her lips
Determined on smile,
Blu, twas very plain the pretty rogue
Was laughing all the while
Thus happily the moments few
To me, nj least, Of course.
Though when she saw me smiling too.
IL made the matter worse.
And when AT last leit the car,
caught her laughing eye,
And had one more good grin before
tore myself away.
NY inn sought with ssddsned mood,
Aud with feelings Of regret,
Those brilliant eyes, felt assured,
never could forget.
And when arrived, valise in hand,
pausod--I can't tell why
Before n mirror on a stand,
Aud gszed with curious eye.
My cnvat was turned halfround or more,
Aud shocked was TO ind
That my hat was badly Jammed before,
Ani The rim turned up behind
Then, while IN haste my room sought,
swore along the Stairs,
That would not again be caught
A-napping In the carr.

Human Strength.

Among the Arabs, the Persians, ,and
the Turks, you do not meet with those
undersized, rickety, consumptive be-
ings so common in Europe; you do
not meet with such pale, wan. sickly-
looking countenances their complex
ions are bright and lorid !; they are
strong and vigorous, able to- ride a
hundred miles day, and capable of
performing other amazing feats.
remember seeing most striking
instance of their powers. A band Of
men from the Himalaya mountains had
come to Calcutta for the purpose of
exhibiting feats of strength, and they
were indeed, perfect Samsons. Their
size struck me with admiration. |
know nothing that can compare to
them but perhaps some of you have
seen the statue at the bottom of the
stairs of the Somerset House-it is
Hercules leaning on his club, is about
seven feet high, looking like a being
capable Of executing the most difficult
task, and such men were the athlete.
We selected five menfrom on board
the Glasgow frigate, and similar
number from one of the regiments,
and likewise from one Of the India
men, all fine, picked men; and yet,
upon trial of strength, it was found
that Himalaya mountaineer was
equal to two and three quarters of the
strongest Europeans. They could
grasp a man and hold him in the air
ike a child, and if they had not been
under control, l am convinced could
have crushed him to death. I felt
them, and never feltsueh flesh In my
life; it appeared like rolls Of muscle,
and yet none Of these men ever tasted
spirits. ,s., MI. ..5 f.....,.u
