Computing Interest.

NEVADA, June Doth, 1850.
Ed. DRMocRAT-In your issue Of to-day find
what is said to be new rule for computing interest
for any given number Of days. As to its being new,
have nothing to say; know, however, that have
practced II at least II or Is years. There is mis-
take in the rule, as given in the DRMocRAT. The
rule says, "separate the right hand figure" 1t
should have said separate three right hand figures,
together with the decimas in the sum on which you
are computing interest, and divide by 8. The Eea-
son is perfectly obvious. Six days give one mill,
O0l) one-thousandth Of q dollar, whereas separa-
ting one figure, it becomes (.l One-tenth Of dol
lar, or 10 cents which will make quite difference
in the result. The rule is founded on 80 days to
the month, or S60 days to the year. 1.
H"T." will examine again the rule publish
ed 10 our last weeks issue, he will find there is
little difference between that aud Che one sta
ted by himself BY the former, one figure is
cut of, and the interest is brought out in cents;
by the latter, three figures are cut of. which
gives the interest 10 dollars II makes no diff.
ference whether the extra figures are cut of
before or after dividing. Rules for calculating
interest, however, ore Of little use. as every
business man adopts the system which he finds
most convenient TO himself.

Tue CRoPs IN EAPA COuSTI.-The editor of
the Napa Reporter has lately made . trip
through the entire length Of Napa and Knights
valleys, and states, both from personal Obser-
walton aud from information derived from IN
telligent farmers, that the crops were never
more promising than at present There will be
very large yield OF wheat asd barley; much
more corn has been planted this year than usu-
al, and most Of it looks thrifty. Some has been
injured by the late rains, but very little in com
parison with the immense quantity which re-
mains in good condition.

FLooD IN THE COLUMBIA.--The Columbia river
is very high at the Dalles-being only two feet be-
low the height reached by the great food Of 1859.
The Dalles Mountaineer says:
The season Of high water Is again upon us, and
ell the lower part OF the town Is submerged. After
the experience Of last year. it was supposed that
would enjoy an exemption from similar vistations
for several years to come but this appears TO be
mistake and the water this year threatens to attain
great height at any former time. The build
ing occupied by the Mountaineer establishment was
flooded as early as Saturday last, and we were COM
PEELED to beat retreat to our present premses-the
theater building on b street. At the time Of writ
ing, the water is steadily rising, and the diningroom
floor Of the UmatillA House is partially submerged.
The back yards Of nearly all the buildings on the
north side Of Main street have been flooded for
several days, and should the rise continue, the
damage will be very considerable.

ARCTIC EXPERIEEcE.-The experience Of d..
Hays and his men. of the U. S. Arctic expedi.
Iio0. has put an eUd forever to tbe old claim
that ardent spirits are useful to travellers ia
winter. The doctor says be has known able.
bodied men to become utterly incapable OF re.
sisting cold In consequence Of the long contin.
ued nse Of ALCOHOLIC drinks. No stimIlants are
more valuable tban tea and coffee. The Eng
lish Arctic explorers almost invariably nse tea,
and SO do the Russians. but DR.. Kaue's parties,
after repeated trials, took most kindly to coffee
10 the morning and tea in the eVsnng. The
coffee seemed to last through the day, and the
men grew hungry less rapidly than after tea
drinking, while tea soothed them after a hard
days labor and enabled them 70 sleep better.
The superiority Of each over AlcObOiie stima-
lants was unquestionable.

THE PRosPECTs OF DOUGLAs.-In speaking Of
the prospects of the nomination Of Douglas by
the Baltimore Convention the Mobile (Ala.)
Advertiser reasons thus:
He will gaia also in the delegates who shall
be chosen to represent in Convention the States
whose delegates seeded 10 Charleston. Ala
bana will send delegates to Baltimore, so will
Louisiana; SO will Georgia, so will Florida; 80
Will Texas and little Delaware-and as these
delegates will enter the Convehtian bound In
acquesce IN The platform already adopted, .
majority Of them may be conceded will be ready
to vote for Douglas on the next ballot; or. at
least, to offer no prolonged or factous Opposi-
ton 10 bis nomination. or course none OF the
seeding delegates can now resume their seats
in the Convention. But aside from the
determination Of their representative rights the
retiring delegations would be deferred on prin-
cple from returniing to the Convention. 1t is
equally clear that this platform will not be
changed certainly not before q candidate is
nomiusted. Having adjourned during the pro-
grets Of the ballot, Of course the regular bus-
ness on the reassembling Of the Convention will
be the "ffty-eighth ballot" which will be taken.
doubtless, Immediately after lbe officers resume
their stations. SO 1t will appear that Douglas
has the trump cards in his own hands, and II he
plays them with skill, be will surely achieve a
triumph 10 Baltimore.

THAT PETRIFIED TRER.-A San Francisco paper
having expressed doubt the truth Of the state
ment relative to the big petred tree discovered by
an exploring party near Black Rock, Mr. Stevens,
a member Of the party, in a communication pub
ished in the MArysville Democrat, gives a fuller
description of that "monster of former age" He
says:
Our party OF thirty-hve men encamped at the
lower end Of what we termed the Little Canon,
about three miles from which we found this famous
petTifaction, and which is truly great curiosity.
At short distance from this monster of a former
age it seemed to US to be well defined line Of drh
wood deposited along the line Of high water mark
Of some ancient river whose bed is now an elevated
ridge; but closer inspection unanimously pro-
nounced il one tree we found Il distinctly marked
from the upturned roots to its forks, and its two
well defined forks to what was, when standing, an
altitude OF six hundred and sixty-six feet, two
hundred and twenty-five such steps as a Western
frontier-man takes when stepping of his distance
to shoot at target. AT about 400 feet nom the
roots the tree 10 divided into parts, forks,
about equal in size and at $50 feet from the root
took oh specimen from one Of these forks
having its surface at the time the outer and inner
bark of the tree. From the curves Of the lines of
growth on this specimen we estimated the diameter
Of the branch from whioh Il was taken to be from
eight TO twelve feet, and this, bear in mind, at
distance Of $50 feet from the root of the tree and
only half the tree at that This estimate may be
too high it may be too low but in the height Of
the tree we cannot be far at fault in saying that il
measured when standing some sevon OF eight hun
dred feet in height.

The CRNsUs TAKER AND JOHN CHINAMAN.-A
census agent gives the Union an amusing account
Of his experience among the Chinese:
On approaching group, with the census portfolio
under his arm, we are looked upon with undisguised
suspicion and alarm. Being requested in our in
structions to be polite and affable to all, we bow
very humbly, and make our salutation, by saying,
with winning smile. "How de do, Johni Very
fine day, john" Whereupon All Chang replies
"Two men, no more; what you want, John% "No
want taxee-no want TO eatchee money; all same
Mercan man, Frenehman, woman. One President
wantee know how many men in California, New
York-all the States" "You no want to catchee
license" "What is your name. John" "Me no
sabee name;" and so on, until we find some one
who can speak more English. After they become
convinced we not after money, which they love
well any Shylock. they will give their names,
ages, and we give guess at their place Of birth.
II you take their word for it, Of them have any
property when asked il they have any real estate
which question is ahead Of their tmes-they shake
their heads and look dubious. "lIave you got sEy
money, Jehn /" "No got money. Me very poor
no good claim, john" BY dilligent inquiry we
generally find a dozen or more, when only saw
few ON our approach, for the appearance OF
an officalooking parsonage, the most Of them hide
away, so as to escape paying for licenses. They
are constantly moving about the country, and the
chances are that not half the Cinnamon in the State
will be enumerated on the census list.

BULKHHAD SURvHY.-The San Francisco Board
OF Supervisors have adopted memorial which is to
be sent to delegation in Congress, asking the
general government to cause thorough survey OF
the harbor to be made for these purposes: "To de-
termne what measures, II any, are necessary to
prevent encroachments upon the harbor; to decide
whether or not the construction Of a sea-wsll or
bulkhead along the water front Is expedient, or
essential for its preservation; and to determine. in
case such q structure be found necessary, whether
or not it is practicable to build durable sea-wall
along the water front, upon the foundation under
lying the same. II the same be found necessary,
then the surveyors are desired to provide plans,
specifications and estimates of the cost Of said work
for the use Of the city and county Of San Fran
CISCO" This is precisely what should have been
done long since.

we learn that the Nsz Perce gold mines, which we're
recently discovered, are upon Indian reservation,
and cannot be prospected for that without a
forcible disregard Of the Agents wishes in the mat
ter. There is some reason to apprehend difficulty
between the Indians and prospectors. II any should
occur, it would be parallel to the Washoe out
break.
