The Treaty which Mr.. M'Lean has concluded
with President Juarez of Mexico, is deemed
very important in view of the results likely
to follow. Its points are a perpetual and
secure route across the IsthmuS of Tehuante-
pee, a free port on the Gulf OF California, and
route therefrom to Arizona, the adjustment
and payment of the claims of our citizens
against the government, and the payment by
US of about five millions of dollars to the gov
ernment of Mexico, one halt of which is re-
served to pay the American claims.

Frederick W liner, German, sshalf seas
over,'' swan the Ohio, at Wheeling, Sunday
evening week, for small wager. He accom-
plished the feat with difficulty, and not being
strong enough to come back the same way,
and some cruel fellows on the other side re-
tanning his clothes, he started across the sus-
pension bridge IN pGris nataralibus, and en-
tered Wheeling at run, driving crinoline in
wild flight before him. He was arrested, and
thought it was a hill of a free country where
man couldn't go naked when he had s'noth-

The Rochester Democrat says that cougar
was shot one day last week in Tonawanda
Swamp, fourteen miles from Batavia, New
York. He was found to measure eight feet
from the extremity of his powerful paws to
the end of his tail, and his weight was 147
pounds. These creatures are not found in
that locality once in 20 years. He was quite
fat, and his fore arm was as large as that of a
strong man.

The TEHUANTEPEC RoUTE.-The Tehuan-
tepec route is becoming more and more pop
ular with the travelling public to and from
California. lis advantages over the Panama
route are so paramount, and are becoming
so we'll known, that nothing is now wanting
but line of good Steamers from San Fran
cisco to Ventosa, to make it at once the
great thoroughfare of travel. The trip can
be made from San Francisco to Ventosa in
eight days from Nentosa 10 Suchil, the land
travel is III miles; from Suchil to Minitt-
Ian, by river 10 miies-wh0le distance from
steamer to steamer, 221a miles, and can be
made in less than three days; from Minitit-
Ian to New Orleans will not exceed three
days more but eleven days on sea, and three
on land and river, will be required to make
the entire trip Som San Francisco to New
Orleans. We came over this route, last Feb
I'll ry, from New Orleans, and have no hcsi-
tation in saying that with proper accommo-
dations for travellers, the trip across the
Isthmus would be only delightful and plea

and presenting many new objects Of inter

From our n. O. exchanges we learn that
the Louisiana and Tehuantepec Co. intend
pushing forward the Railroad across the
Isthmus, and that the Mexican Government
has given additional grants of land, and
other privileges Of great value to The COM

BLACK SAND.-Iti is well known to miners
that the black sand which they find in their
cradles and sluices contains considerable
Quantity of god so fine as to be invisible to
the naked eye except when collected in guam
titles. writer in the Marysville Democrat
thinks that gold is incorporated with the
particles of this sandwich is really an OK
ide of iron-just as it is with the sulphurets
of iron. He says:
'The black sand, it is commonly called, is hem
lclly. the protoXide OF ronor in other words IL is
the the scale that falls from red hot IRON
In this state it is acted upon by water, bnt by be-
ing heated to red heat and kept for time, it
becomes changed TO the pure red oxide of ron and
in this condition becomes easily pulyerent, and readily
combined with water. The gold it contained is liberia
ted; and becomes susceptible of analgamating with
mercury; while in the first natural state, the
curry could not act upon it. In many localities this
sand is heavy that it will sink u mercury, which
circumstance alone should satisfy any rational mind
that it contains something valuable than ron--
If the sand in question simply particles of pure
iron, it could sink in mercury the specific gray

BRIDGEPoRT IN LUcK.-Thc two conven-
'tions which met at Nevada, last week, were
very bountiful to Bridgeport township, and
particularly to North San Juan, in the dis
tribution of official nominations. The Re-
publican nominees for State Senator, County
Treasurer, Public Administrator and County
Surveyor, all live in the township, and three
in the town itself, which also reioices ia fJe-
ing the residence of a nominee on the same
ticket for Assembly. The Democratic Con-
vention was less partial, or felt more conf
dent of electing its men, for II nominated
only two Bridgeporters. This makes seven
nominees in one township, and the Lord
only knows how many more the Democratic
Convention, No. 2, will add to the list. We
venture the suggestion that our home sup
ply of good men is not yet exhausted, and
that the Convention, yet to meet, may find
some of them willing to enter the list Oh
what IS claimed to be the winning side.

CHINESE GARDENs.-The most elaborately
cultivated gardens in this vicinity are those
owned by the Chinese. One Company of
Celestals hired from Mr.. Geo. ". Moore the
ground fronting his house, on which he had
planted several hundred fruit trees CT eifer-
ent kinds, and they have titled it with the
most admirable care, skill and economy
Another company have a larger piece of
ground under cultivation ON the bank of the
creek that runs through Abbey's Ranch,
near the road to Freeman's.
In the adaptation of manures to the yari-
Aous requirements of different vegetable
growths, they are really quite scientific, tho
their careful saving and preparation of ma
nures renders the atmosphere in their vcln-
ity anything but agreeable. Their garden
beds are all made in regular terraces, watered
every evening and kept scrupulously clear of
weeds. Many Of the plants they cultivate
are indigenous to China, so that their gard
ems present novel appearance to an Ameri-
san. They are worth looking at and John
treats visitors with much politeness.

RAISING GRAPES on HIGH GRoUND.-We
are pleased to learn from Judge Ralston, of
Sacramento, of his success in raising grapes
on high ground. tIis plan is TO plough and
subsoil very deep. His experiment was with
diree ceres, and be has been very successful.
During the season, he plows and cultiyateS
constantly. This season, while his grapes
have been cut down with the frost in low
grounds, those in the vineyard on high
ground have been uninjured. His peach
trees, planted last season in dormant bud,
have a good crop of fruit upon them; while
others, on low ground, have suffered much
from frost and cold. We arc gratiEcd at
these results, and hope to hear of others,
who have thus tried the hillside system of
grape growing.-CaI. Farmer.
