LOLA MoNrEs.--A correspondent
Of the San Francisco Herald. under
date Of December Is, says. | visited
Lola Monies to-day at Glass Valley
She lives ACUTE and.apparently cosy
life surrounded by her pet birds, dogs,
goats sheep. hens, turkeys, pigs. and
her pony. The latter seems to be a
favorite Of 1ola's and he is her COM
ranion in all her mountain ra,nbles.
Surely, 1t Is strange metamorplosis
TO find the woman who has gained SO
world renowned a notoriety, and who
has played her part upon the stage Of
life with powerful poteutates and with
whose name Europe and the world is
finally settled down at home
in the mountain wilds Of California.

mems may be seen in front Of the Har-
ney House door, and elsewhere about
town. With the evidence we have
before us, Of The durability Of this ar
tiele we do not hesitate to say, that it
must at an early day be very ex-
tensively used, not only for tagging,
but for door steps, window sils, lintels
We. Indeed an article Of very SINH.
lar composition is now being used in
the North and West, flor which Mes
srs. Williams d Poindexter hold the
PATENT for roofing houses; and it is
pronounced altogether superior to
slate or anyotber material. We should
like to see it fully and fairly tested in
this climate. The commissioners for
the building Of La. Institute for mutes
and the blind, are respectfully invited
to call and examine this article of
stone, and we feel satisfied il they do,
they will adopt it for paving about the
building, if not for covering the same.
The following extract from the min
utes Of the New Orleans Academy Of
arts and sciences, is but one of hun
bred similar testimonials, in its favor.
cat regular meeting Of the acad-
envy of arts and sciences, held Mt n

shey exhibited specimen of Fictitious
stone, prepared at Houston, Texas, Of
great value for all ordinary purposes,
when desirable, as for b1ildingi flag
ging &c. when not exposed to fire
The principal ingredients known to be
used are sand, rosin aud cotton seed
Incorporated while lot, and formed in

Of tropical sun; resists wearing
like common sand stone; is perfectly
homogeneous In texture; and increas-
es in hardness by age. A slab sixteen
feet in length by four in breadth, and

~ stone, after four months incessant
passing over by loaded drays.
