CuRIoUs AND INTERESTINGLY Stockton
Argus publishes the following interesting para
graphs upon discoveries made beneath the sur
face in and near that city:
The skull of bird was found imbeddcd
seventy feet deep, by Mr.. Baxter, while sinking
a well for the city, on Fremont Square. AT a
depth Of one hundred feet, in the same well,
was found piece of lava, three inches thick,
with streaks Of blue clay above and below il.
Ia former days the mountains did not speak to
the seas, merely, but they actually visited them,
it would appear, covering up the paths that
led them there.
Mr.. Baxter, while boring well on Mr. Bur
ketts ranch, about mile and half from this
city. brought up a piece of hard clay twenty
feet from the surface. Observing il to be some
what singular in appearance, curiosity prompt
ed him to break IL open, when he found an oak
leaf imbedded, perfect except having broken
ia half, perhaps by the breaking of the clay
that covered il. The leaf had petriGed, and

RELIEF or NEuRALoIA-As this dreadful dis
ease, says an exchange, is becoming more
prevalent than formerly. and as the doctors
have discovered no method or medicine that
permanently cure it, we simply state that for
some time past q member Of our family has
suffered most intensely from it, and could find
no sure relief from any remedy applied until
we saw an article that recommended the appli-
cation of horseradish to the face for toothache.
As neuralgia and the toothache are both nerv-
Gus diseases, We thought the remedy for one
would be likely to give relief to the other; 90
we made the application Of horseradish, bruis-
ed, applied to the side of the body where the
disease was seated. 1t gave almost instant re-
lief to the severe attack OF neuralgia. Since
then, we have applied it several times, and with
the same gratifying result The remedy Is
simple, cheap, and may be within the reach of
every one.

TUE SLAVE CoDE DEBATE.-A late number OF
the Washington States contains letter from
Senator Brown, of Mississippi, in which that
gentleman denies the story, put ahoat by the
Lecompton politicians of California, during the
late canvass, to the effect that the great slave
code debate in the U. S. Senate was brought
about by private understanding between him
self and Senator Douglas. The story was first
started. we believe. by Collector Washington.
and afterwards reiterated by c. L. Scott, who
professed to know all about it. as be was in
Washington when the debate took place. As
the election in this State is now over. aud moth
ing can be gain by further deception. OF
course the chipdlrous gentlemen who originated
the slander will now take back what they said,
and express their heartfelt regrets that they
were "unintentionally led into the error"

NEw QUARTZ DIsCOvERIEs.-Tbe La Porte
Messenger learns from w. A. Holcomb, Of ST.
Louis that rich quartz discoveries have been
made IN the nnrth east part Of Sierra county,
about six miles south OF the celebrated Eureka
Mills. The vein was discovered during the
summer. and has subsequently been prospected
sufficiently to place the richness of the ledge
beyond a doubt. Four companies, the Sierra,
Uen men.) New York. eleven menu 81. Louis,
(sixteen men,) and Fonr Hills, (ten men, Mexi
csns) have been prospecting with extraOrdi-
nary success. some Of the quartz yielding as
high as one dollar and fifty cents to the pound.
None Of the companies, except the one in which
the Mexcans are interested, are now at work;
but all will commence operations in the spring.
We have good reason for supposing that this
new discovery is one of the richest ever made
in Sierra county,

HIGH BRIDGE FROM ENGLAND TO FRANCE.-
This magnificent project is being seriously en-
tertained among engineers and men of science.
There have been equally as wonderful things
effected in our day. The English papers have
published some of the details of the plans for
uniting England and France by gigantic tu-
bular bridge across the Channel, between Dover
and Cape Grines. In order to afford a passage
10 vessels of the largest size. the bridge on one
side would rest on the cliffs of Dover, and the
other side on the cliffs Of Cape Grinez, the
French abutments being raised one hundred
aud 6fty-ihree feet higher than the English, to
compensate for the difference of elevation of
the cliffs. The bridge would be supported by
one hundred and ninety towers. at distance of
Eve hundred feet apart, each having q light to
guide vessels at night, and an alarm bell for
warning in fogs. The greatest depth of the
channel on the line proposed is one hundred
and eighty-six feet. The bridge would have
two or more railways, which IL is estimated
could be traversed in twenty minutes, and il
would be so built as to admit the light OF day,
being lighted at night by gas. In order to pre-
vent all fear Of invasion, the protector proposes
that each end of the bridge shall be commanded
by q strong battery. The towers, which would
be one hundred feet in diameter and two hun
dred and sixty feet high, would rest on colossal
bases three hundred feet square at the bottom,
one hundred aud fifty feet square at the top, ri
sing to height OF forty feet above the water,
formed of blocks of granite united by iron bars.
The elevation of the tops of the towers would
thus be three hundred feet above the surface of
the water. Mr.. Boyd estimates the utmost pos
sihe cost of the bridge at 930.00e, ,000 but
thinks that il could be built for half that sum.
and that the whole cost would be reimbursed to
the company in eight years.

The GREAT EAsTERN.--Durng the trial trip
OF the Great Eastern, there was a terrific eXplo-
sion on board and FIVE persons were killed.
The accident made no perceptible difference in
the. movements of the vessel, and her engines
were not stopped until she reached her place Of
destination, although the damage amounted to
five thousand pounds. The length of time re-
quired to repair the damages, it was announced
would delay the departure Of the steamer until

creeI.v ~ ,he yosen,,,e.

The Fall of the Yosemite SO called, is hum
bug. IL is not the Merced river that makes
this fall, but mere tributary trout brook,
which pithes in from the north by barely once
broken descent of 1900 feet, while the Merced
enters the valley at its eastern extremity, over
falls of 600 and $50 feet. But river thrice as
large as the Merced at this season would be ut
terly dwarfed by all the other accessories of
this prodigious chasm. Only Mississippi or a
Niagara could be adequate to their exactions.
| readily concede that hundred times the pres
ent amount of water may roll down the Yose-
mite fall in the months of May and June, when
the SHOWS are melting from the central ranges
of the Sierra Nevada which bound this abyss on
the east but this would not add fraction to
the wonder of this vivid excmpliticston of the
Divine power and majesty Az present the lit
tie stream that leaps down the Yosemite, and
is all but shattered to mist by the amazing de-
scent, looks more like a tape line let down from
the cloud-capped height to measure the depth
of the abyss. The Yosemite Valley (or Gorge
is the most unique and majestic OF NATURES
marvels, but the Yosemite Fall IL of little ac-
count. We're it absent. the valley would not
be perceptibly less worthy of fatiguing visit.
l shall not multiply details, nor waste paper
in noting all the foolish Dames which foolish
people have given to different peaks or turrets.
Just think of two giant stone towers or pillars,
which rise thousand feet above the towering
cliff which forms their base, being styled "The
Two Sisters!" Could anything be more mala-
droit and lackadaiscal? "The Domev lie a
high round, naked peak, which rises between
the Merced and its little tributary from the in-
most recesses of the Sierra Nevada already in
stanced, and which towers to an altitude of
over five thousand feet above the waters at its
base.
Picture to yourself a perpendicular wall of
bare granite nearly or quite one mile high |!
Yet there are some dozen or score of peaks in
all, ranging from 5000 to 1000 feet above the
valley, and biscuit tossed from any one of them
would strike very near its base, and its frag-
ments go bounding and falling still further. l
certainly miss here the Glaciers of Chamounix;
but know no single wonder of nature on
earth which can claim n superiority over Yo-
semitic. just dream yourself for one hour in u
chasm nearly ten miles long, with egress for
birds aud water out at either extremity, and
none elsewhere save at three points. up the face
of precpces from 5000 to 1000 feet high, the
chasm scarcely more than n mile wide at any
point, aud tapering to n mere gorge or canon
at either end, with walls Of mainly naked and
perpendicular white granite from 5000 to 200
feet high, so that looking up to the sky from it
is like looking out of an unfathomable pro-
found-and you will have some conception of
the osemite.-Greeley's Letter.

MIRAGE.-The singular phenomenon Of mir
age. which is sometimes observed In California,
appears with more distinctness probably on the
Colorado dessert than anywhere else in the
United States. We remember once seeing a
very singular and deceptive one in that locality.
We were crossing the dessert in the summer Of
'49, aud had been told by party Of Mexicans
that we would find small ldguna about three
or four leagues from them, and that party of
American soldiers were encamped by it. We
travelled on and we're surprised, after travelling
three or four miles, to see beautiful pond of
water at short distance to the right of the
road and which IL seemed we were gradually
approaching. After walking few miles the
lake seemed but forty or fifty yards to our right
and in such perfectly plain view that the small
waves could be seen beating against the shore,
and tufts of grass growing upon the banks.
We were expecting every moment to see the
camp, but nothing Of the kind could he seen as
far as eye could reach in advance. AS we pass
ed along we seemed at last TO be increasing our
distance from the lake, when il was suggested
by some of the party that we bad better turn
or to the water aud fll our canteens and take
a bath. The water was apparently near by,
beautiful and clear we had been walking with
IN fifty yards, for several miles, of what we had
not moment doubted 10 be a large body of
water, the ripples on its surface could be plain
ly seen. bunches of grass we're growing upon
its banks points OF land run into the water, and
altogether presented q most beautiful appear
ance, where we expected only the parched aud
barren sands Of the dessert. But. alas the
suggestion to appropriate dispelled the illusion.
Upon examination the waters vanished We
stared at each other in amaZement. We had
seen mirages thousand times before. but had
never been go deceived. Upon arriving at the
soldiers camp we inquired II there was pond
beside the road we had come, and were told
there was not. We were compelled, though re-
luctantly, to believe that we had been deceived

rowed hood for her own bonnet, and the note
was delivered with the bonnet at the residence

TO its side; in what instances air of triumph has
caused it to be tossed; and whether ever and when
it has quivered from trembling emotions, proceed
ing from beowp But it has proved itself faithful
keeper Of secrets, and would answer none of my
questions. 1t only remained for me to attempt to
surprise it into confession, by propoundng sundry
by most of these, but at the apparently unexpected
mention of one, thought its ribbons decidedly ut-
