Singular Metamorphosis & Curious Results.

About four years since a man from the
Eastern States came to this country to en-
gage in mining. lie went up to Tuolumne
and commenced laboring in n claim on
Woods Creek. In short time his hair
(Which was of u light brown, or auburn
color) commenced to fall off, and soon there
was not a solitary hair to be discovered Oh
any part of his body. lie was as guillcss
of hrsute covering as marble statue. Sin
gular to relate the mans general health was
good during the time Of this pecling But
what is more remarkable, the general physi-
cal appearance OF the man began to change
rapidly. He was originally "long, lank and
ean," but now he began to assume Fal-
staliian proportions. Although large bone
ed person, when he came to this country he
only weighed about lG0 pounds but in
seven months after his arrival al the mines,
his weight was upwards Of 800 pounds. All
things must have an end, and SO did our
hero's increase in size come to stop Then
it was that his hair began to grow. But
now, strange to say, his hirsute appendages.
instead of being auburn color, were coal
black. Instead of sandy whiskers he had
wbiskers as black as Jet, and 80 on. Our
readers will naturally think the individual
after undergoing all these transformations,
had grown out Of the recollection of his
friends And SO he had as the sequel will
show. Now, the hero of this singular trans
formation, when he left his home, left behind
wife whom he loved as the apple of his
eye. After residing Eere about three years,
he sent for her. She came full of love and
affection to meet her long absent lord
When the steamer arrived very large man
with very black hair and whiskers, met hel
and claimed her as his wife. She repudiated
him. He demonstrated and explained She
would not hear to him, for she had heard OF
the wickedness Of this country, and she was
cautious She endeavored for two months
to find the husband who had left hor, then
gave him up for dead, and returned to her
old home sorrowful and broken hearted
The metamorphosed husband is still here
and bitterly does he curse the change in his
fortunes which so altered the complexion Of
his personal affairs that even bis own wife
cannot recognize him. At present there is
not the least prospect Of losing his super,
abundant flesh, or of his hair again chang.
ing color.
We clip the above from one Of the Bay
papers. Who the metamorphosed is, We
should like 10 know.

The Shells Thrown at Napoleon.

The Birmingham Daily Press says: We
have seen one of the shells manufactured
for the purpose of the late attempted assass-
nation They were made by Mr.. Taylor, an
engineer, in Broad street, who was, of course,
unacquainted with the purpose for which
they wore intended. They are most ingt ni-
ously contrived, and the one brought to our
office was a very fine specimen Of workman
ship. 1t is cylindrical in shape, with tho
ends round and resembling a melon more
than anything else we can compare it to,
The size about five inches by four. 1t is hol
low, and made into two parts. The thick
ness of the metal at one end is onei inch, and
the other three quarters of an inch. The
great peculiarty of the construction is the
means for exploding. In the ordinary hand
grenade, this is provided for by fuse, which
being lit, when it reaches the powder causes
the explosion. In the present instance one
end of the shell is provided with twenty-five
nipples similar to those of a gun, and upnu
each Of those a percussion cap is placad.-,
When either of these caps strike against
any substance it produces instant explosion.
Thus all uncertainty as to the tme Of the
explosion is avoided The extra thickness
at this end secures its falling the right way.
At the opposite end is a hole for loading,
which is closed by screw plug. The whole
appearance of the machine is of most
dangerous kind, and on its construction and
design great labor must have been bestowed,

According to Mr.. Cook, the territory of
Arizona is now rapidly settling up, the chief
inducement to emigration being the rich
mines Of that country. The principal silver
mine now worked is that at 1ubac near the
head of the Gufof California This mine is
worked by the Sonora Mining and Exploring
Company, who have a capital of 81 100000
invested. They employ machinery and
large number Of hands. The ore is consid-
cred the richest now known, yielding per ton
from $4,000 to $4,000. Col. Douglas has
also silver mine at Sapora, supposed to be
equally rich. The great copper mines work
ed by the Arizona Copper Mining Company,
are about 120 miles from Fort Yuma.
The capital invested in these works is 81 ,O0O,.
600. The ore is estimated to be worth $3.50
per ton, and yields Is per cent. of pure cop.
per. The Gadzonia Silver Mining Company
employ capital of Sc 100000. Very rich
gold diggings are being discovered in various
parts of the country. An estimate of their
richness may be formed from the fact that,
in many places, PAINFUL is worth forty-two
cents, while 4 yield of only two cents per
pan is considered to pay very well. People
are now rapidly coming in and prospecting
the country for the rich minerals. Along
the Rio Grande the population consists Of
Mexicans almost exclusively but in the west
and near the Gulf Of California, the popula.
ton is American, with very few foreigners.
The total population of Arizona is now
estimated at $4,000 who are mostly settled
in the towns. The chief towns are Masilla,
Los Cruces, Dona Ana, Mesa, Tucson, Tubac,
and Arizona. This last town was recently
laid off at the junction of the rivers Colo
RADIO and Gla, near the head of tho Gulf of
California, and is expected to be the principal
seaport. Fort Yuma, on the California side
of the river, is however, the port of shipping
for Arizona. Much trouble has been exper
fenced from the hostility of the Apache tribe
of Indians, against whom the United States
troops at MasilIa, Fort Fillmore, etc. have

quence of which the people of Masilla formed
volunteer company some year or two since,
which company has been actively and
efficiently employed all the time in repelliug
the Indians, wherever they commit depreda-
tions. Up to the time that Mr.. Cook left
they lad killed fiftyone Of these Indians and
taken over one hundred of their horses. Mr..
Cook informs us that up to the present time
there is no government whatever in Arzon
There is not civil officer of any grade or
name in the whole Territory. S. +. Hcrmd.
