NATURAL CURIosITY.-A correspondent Of the
Alta states that fifteen miles northeast OF Santa
Cruz, about forty-fve cylinders Of sandstone may
be seen each cylinder being from one to two feet in
diameter, with hollow space of from six to two
feet in diameter in the center. They were disco
vered several years ago, standing in an upright
position and were buried in sand. On digging down
il was found that some Of them extended to depth
OF forty-hve feet, and rested on sandstone rock,
differing from the material Of their own compost
ton. These cylinders scattered about irregu-
lary and are rather longer at the base than at the
top. They were at first supposed to be the work Of
human hands, but now they are supposed to have
been formed by means Of mineral springs.

evening, and saw upon the stand at least hall a
dozen Republicans who, on tho morning after the
election last fall stood in the doorway of Sherman
building on Montgomery street, and rejoiced, not
over the defeat OF the ant-Lecompton party, but
over the dofeat OF David G. Broderck. II this fact
is denied, we will name the parties, man for man,
who then expressed their qualification over the po-
litcal misfortunes Of one out Of whose bones they
now seek to make political capital.

Nsw YoRk, January 29.--Ths New York
Herctd's correspondent says: "I hear tonight
that several South Americans are inclined to
vote for Mr.. Pennington, In consequences Of
the fact that Msssrs. Pendlston and Coz, Of
Ohio, declared that Mr.. Smith was never
Know-Nothipg, and was opposed to the order
and Its principles. Il Is mot by any means
certain that the Democrats will continue TO
adhere to Smith. There is Q strong DISPOSE
ton on the part Of some Of the Northern and
Western Democrats to leave him, with Q view
Of trying to elect Mr.. Millson. This course is
opposed BY many Of the Southern men, who
do not believe that they can concentrate the
same vote on any other man. 1t is stated, on
good authority, that the three Democrats,
Davis and Holman, of Indiana, and Allen, Of
Ohio, will, on the next ballot, vote for Smith.
WAsHrsGrcR, January 29,--There has been
many private conferences to-day among mem
bers Of the different parties with view of per-
footing arrangements for tomorrow regarding
the Speakership. The prospect is that if the
Republicans unto oil the Sherman vote on Mr..
Pennington he will receive several acces-
sions from the Anti-Lecompton Democrats,
including Adrian, Holman, Davis, of Ind,
and Allen, Of Ohio, the three dissenting
Western Democrats who have not yielded
10 the persuasion Of their friends to vote
for Smith, nor ID 1t probable that they
will, according to what 10 considered reliable
information. Since Friday some gentlemen
have besn making special inveetigation into
the political antecsdents Of Smith, with the
design Of damaging his position as candi-
date for Speaker. There 10 no data for an asser-
ton as to the result Of the contest further than
1t promises to be decided within the:pressnt
week, perhaps tomorrow.

The Proposed Speaker.

Speaker Of the United States Congress-. In
1888 he was Governor Of New Jersey, an Office
filed by his father in 1913, who died in 1926.
A. G. M. Pennington, his predecessor from
tho same district, was firm supporter Of N.
P. Banks in the fierce contest for Speaker Of
the s4th Congress, which was not determined
until the I'd Of February. Tho experience Of
Ex Governor Pennington, his services as Chan
eellor Of tho State, resident Judge of the Court
Of Appeals and Pardons, and services in tho

The Lesson We Have Learned.

We have no fslicitations over the achieve
msnts made by the late visit and reception,
but to rejoice that both parties have learnt
valuable lessons. The representatives Of the
two States nearest us across the river have
seen the value of the possession Of cultured,
trained and well-supported mechanics and
manufacturers. They have sesn direct proofs
Of the insstimable advantages Of system Of
railroads in State; of the absolute need Of Q
well-digested and thoroughly practical system
of common schools, extending their influence
to every child within its border. The lesson
of self-examination has boon taught to both
sides. Life may DO eksd out with pleasure,
bat 1t must be mainly fillsd up BY business.
Let Cincinnati, Frankfort, Nashville, Charles
ton aud Norfolk concert measures at onee for
q convention, in which politics may be ignored,
and the true economic interests Of these
sections, as related to each other, be the
subject of delibsration and sction. Let some
thing be done for this kind Of union forthwith,
for time is almost the only thing Of which it is
a virtue to be covetous.
