TEIEoRArH BHL.-On Thursday last bill
passed the Senate designed to encourage the
construction of telegraph line between Cali
fornia and the Eastern States. The bill pro-
vides that the first company that shall construct
a telegraph line to some point east of the Rocky
mountains, SO as to connect with line extend
ing to the States, shall receive bonus of $G0,-
600; the second company forming such con.
nected line TO receive bonus OF $4,000 The
lines must be constructed within twelve months
and the first bonus of 100000 is 10 be paid in
ten yearly nstallments OF SC, 900 each; the SEQ.
ond bonus in ten yearly payments of $4,000
each The State is to have prior right to the
use of the lines, and dispatches relating to The
State Government are to be sent free. Should
the company, or companies, fail 10 keep theiI
lines in working order for period of si1
months their rights to the remainder of the bo
nus to cease.

FALL OF A BuILDNo.-At Marysville on the
18th inst, the front wall of brick building be.
longing to George & Wood, on Maiden Lane
fell to the ground. Two men named Seavy and
Sherwood were at work on the wall fixing uT
an awning, and their weight brought down the
whole side of the building. Mr.. Seavy escaped
with few bruises; but a mass Of brick fell up
on Mr.. Sherwood, and when he was dug out il
was found that his thigh had been smashed near
the hip joint. The unfortunate man was imme
dia.ely cared for, but the fracture is supposed
to have extended to the hip joint and if so, the
chances are that be will die. The building had
just been erected, was built Of the most inferior
quality Of brick, and was miserable piece Of
work

MORE SILVER DIscovKRIEs.-The San Fran
cisco Evening Gazette learns from an unques-
tionable source, that silver mine of surprising
richness has been found in Buena Vista county.
The existence Of this mine has been known to
the Indians for many years Indeed, they say
that the mine was worked by Spaniards in 1924.
According to the Indian tradition, the original
workers of the mine were the Inhabitants Of a
small town, the ruins of which are still to be
seen in the vicinity OF the mine. 1t was known
to the Indians that taese people possessed i'm
mense stores of silver, and the former, to pes
sess themselves of the treasure-the value of
which they fully understood from Intercourse
with the people Of the coast-planned an expe-
ditiou against the miners, which resulted in the
destruction of the town and determination of
its Inhabitants. As every precaution has been
taken TO secure the possession Of the lode spe-
ken of to the discoverers, they have no object
in keeping it secret Their lode is in the side
Of volcanic hill, FIVE miles distant from the
stage road. Specimens of the mine showing a
fair stratum of silver are in possession Of gen,
tlemen of San Francisco, who have advanced
the funds requisite for the further development
of the vein. The mine has been divided into
twenty-threc shares of three hundred feet each,
and about eight hundred feet are owned in San
Francisco. The owners value their claims at
500 per foot, but they have no idea Of selling.
Pieces of melted silver have been exhibited,
which are said to have been found at the mouth
of the old shaft. The mine was claimed and To-
Gated some months ago by a well known citi-
zen of Stockton, who fitted out an expedition to
determine its value.

SNGuLAR.-The Narysville Democrat learns
that during the late rains, which were so abun
dant ia all other parts of the State, the country
along the east side of the Coast Range and west
of the Sacramento river was scarcely sprinkled.
1t lies in Yolo and Colusi counties, and com.
prises nearly all the land lying between line
five miles west Of the river and the mountains
Excellent crops were formerly raised in that
section, and much money has been expended in
improving farms, but there has been no rain for
the past five or six years, and farmers have been
forced from their lands 10 search OF more eligi
BILE locations.

GREAT GOLD STRIKE IL BUTTE CoUNTY.-The
Oroyille Democrat Of the 18th inst says The work.
men employed in the tunnel Of the Forty mine and
Fiity-six quartz claim at Yankee Hil in this conn
ty, last week struck vein Of auriferous quartz Of
extraordinary richness. From all accounts it far
exceeds the famous Ish claim in southern Oregon.
Unless the accounts greatly exaggerated, there
in sight, by the latest intelligence from the
claim, $3.50, 900 at least If the vein shall continue
equally rich for any considerable Distance the for
tunate holders Of the shares Of stock will soon be-
come milbonaires. Near eighty pounds of gold,
which had been beaten out Of the rock brought
down few days since, and carried to MarySille,
by Mr. Moore, one Of the stockholders. The claim
for some time previous to the late big strike, did
not pay expenses, and some Of the shares, we un-
derstand, which had been given as collateral secu-
rity, were forfeited under the impression, probably
that they not worth the amount for which they
were pledged.

DREADFUL EXPLosIoN.-One Of those occur
rences which sometimes happen in consequence of a
superabundance Of funny fellows in a small village,
and send the blood rushing back TO the boots took
place day last week at Coulteryile, Mariposa
county, in the District Court. The jury were out
making up their verdict in a case. Some one pro-
yided himself with a lot Of detonating cigars Of
very explosive character and presented each to
the judge, sheriff, attorneys and other officers Of
the court. The District Court is powerful smoker,
and the august person who represents that tribunal
the first to arrive at the point where the explo-
sion comes in. The sheriff went to the rescue Of
the judge, but suddenly found himself the victim Of
a similar disaster. Both of the attorneys went oil
simultaneously. BY this time the other smokers
smoked out, and escaped the consequences that
had befsllen their friends. The effect on the jury
was quite natural. They supposed that the court
had got into free fight and that there was shoot
ing going on, SO they broke out Of the window and
ran 10 escape stray shots. The affair served to
relieve the dulness Of the season, and the Jurors
from serving that day.

SAXON ESGLIsH.-When a man has anything
of his own to cay and is really in earnest that
it should be understood, be does not usually
make cavalry regiments Of his sentences aud
seek abroad for sesquipedalian words We all
know that an Englishman, if be will, is able to
speak easily and clearly; also be can, If ho
please, write in such manner as to send the
common people to their dictionaries at least
once in every page Let him write Saxon and
the Saxons understand him let him use Latin
forms that haze been long In use aud they will
also understand him but let him think proper
to adopt Latin or Greek expressions which are
new, or at all events new 10 the many, and
they will be puzzled We can all read with
comfort the works Thomas Fuller Swift, Bun
yan, Defoe. Franklin aud Cobbett there, sense
Is clear, feeling is honely aud the writer's take
care that there shall be no misunderstanding,
But in Robertson, johnson aud Gibbon, one
word in every three is an alien and so an En-
gIisbman who happens to have like Shakespeare,
''spal Latin and less Greek" is by no means
quite at home in their society.

"KMGHTs OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE" THE New
Orleans Courier gives the following account Of
this new Order:
The X. G. G.. or Knights of the Golden Circle,
was organized in 1854, more to cultivate the
martial spirit Of our people than anything else;
since then it has steadily grown, until now it
numbers over thirty thousand members, who
are scattered over the Southern States. and
holding within its charmed circle many Of our
most influential men and best soldiers. 1t is
generally understood that the X. G. are pre-
pairing to operate in the broad field which civil
war opened in Mexico to American enterprise
and industry; and we are assured that It is their
steady determination to place the Liberal
or Juarez party 10 full aud peaceful occupation
of the city Of Mexico, and thus prove to the
world that Americans will never refuse to other
struggling people the aid so opportunely rem
dered us by the French in 1777.

NAlTs.--About seventy years ago gentle
man in Massachusetts,, then unknown and in OBJ.
scurity began to make nails by cutting slices
out OF old hoops, and gripping these pieces by
common vice, headed them with several strokes
Of the hammer BY progressive improvements,
stting mills were built and the shears and
heading tools were pertefeeted but still much
labor aud expense were requisite in making
ualls. The first machine ever made for cutting
nails, il is said was invented by shopmate OF
r. Whitney. called Benjamin Cochran. This
inventor died at Batavia N. Y, in 1916. in a
lipe old age His machine cut out the nails
without head. Previous to the date Of bis in
vention, (l790) nails had been punched ont of
plates by hand in Connecticut; these also had
no head. In 1910. the ingenious Jacob Perkin
aud Johuatban Ellis, Of Massachusetts,, erected
the first machinery for cutting and heading
nails al one operation. In 1892, cut nails wero
first mode in England by machinery, two roll
ers with dies beiug employed for the purpose
One half the impress was made in each roller
when they came in contact, the blanks were
fed in at the top, and finished nails dropped out
below as the steam rollers revolved.

FEAT Of RAILROAD EMPLoYEE.-A recent
achievement of n brakeman on the Michigan
Central Railroad exhibits degree Of skill and
presence Of mind that renders it well worthy OF
record. Last Thursday night, when the passen-
ger train coming eastward was between Chelsea
and Dexter, broken rail was encountered,
throwing we believe, one car from the track.
freight train was known to be coming behind
and q brakeman Nelson linus, young man,
who makes his home at Ann Arbor--retraced
the track half mile, equipped with red lam
iern, the signal Of danger. When the train
oomed in sight The red light WAS waved in the
usual manner, but there was no movement on
the part Of the engineer to indicate that he dis
cerned the signal. II became obvious to linus
that the difficulty lay in the steam having be-
come CONCEALED on the window 30 such an ex-
tent as to obsruct the engineers vision and
having no torpcdoes to place on the track-an
appliance sometimes resOrted to-be was left
entirely to his own lerources. Taking bis posi-
tion as near the track as was consistent with
safety. as the machine came numbering along,
with well directed aim he hurled his lantern in
TO the window shattcring it, as well as the Ian
tern, into small fragments, some Of which
struck the engineer, who. seeing and making
note of the red pieces, Of course reversed the
engine in time to avoid serious accident.-De.
