San Francisco March l6-In the joint Sen
atorial Convention yesterday, Mr.. McDougal
received 80 votes, which alarmed his opponents,
who feared that on another ballot he would re.
ceive the entire Republican vote, thus increas-
ing his strength to 65, only two or three less
than enough to elect. A motion to adjourn
to the 18th was accordingly made, and pre-
vailed-67 to 55. This is Q very hopeful state
Of things, for Mr.. McDougal's friends are con-
fdent Of electing him at the next meeting,
while the opposition is concentrating its forces
for his defeat.
The Assembly has passed charter bills for
the San Francisco horse railroad comp anies.
There is very little general news.
Accounts from Visalia represent brisk en-
igration to the Coso and Maralda and Colorado
gold and silver mines.
Probably some thousands Of Californians
will spend the ensuing summer in exploring
and developing the extensive regions lying to
the southeast Of this State, in Utah and New
Mexico.
The Washoe mining developments continue
favorable, and stock in the principal mines ia
advancing. shares in the Ophir mine are SELL
ing at $l,lO0 to $1,000 per foot, and parties
predict that $4,000 will be the market price
within six months.

Probable Acquisition of St. Domingo
by Snain.


Nep York, March 29.-The steamship Qua.
ker City, from Havana on Monday, arrived
here tonight. There was much excitement at
Havana on the subject of the annexation Of
St. Domingo to Spain.
1t appears there had for some time past been
going on system Of Spanish emigration to that
island, and that the emigrants were instructed.
when proper time arrived, to hoist Spanish col.
ors, and invoke the protection of Spain. This
was done on the 10th instant, much to the aston
ishment Of the natives.
When the news reached Havana, the frigate
Blanca, fully armed, with large number Of
regular troops, was dispatched, sailing on the
23d. Two screw frigates soon followed, with
5000 regulars.
A large naval and military force are also on
their way, it is said, from Spain to Cuba.
1t is said that Hsyt will soon share tho
same fate as Dominica, with the consent Of
France.

How a Bed of Coal is Formed.

We are now in a position to comprehend
the formation of bed of coal in olden time.
Let US suppose that certain bed of luxuriant
plants over low-lying tract subject to inun-
dations from the sea- Rising ground of gran
itic or shistose rocks in the distance defines
the margins of the basin, and the boundaries
of continent from which the sedimentary
materials of the coal strata are derived. The
growth of vegetation marks period of rest ;
but now slow subsistence of the whole tract
commences. The brackish waters of the es-
tuary, and the salt waters from the ocean, in
wade the jungle, carrying dark mud in suspen-
sion, with floating stems of trees and fronds of
ferns. Presently the mud subsidies, and covers,
in one uniform sheet, the accumulated vegeta-
tion of centuries. The process of subsidence
goes on. while the sea currents and rivers pour
into the estuary fine sand and mud, in which
branches and stems of trees from the uplands
are included. This process continues until the
sinking of the ocean-bed either altogether
ceases or is counterbaaneed by the rapidity
with which the sediment is deposited. The
basin becomes gradually shalower, and the
plants begin to reappear, commencing perhaps
at the coast, and creeping seaward until the
whole basin is again overspread with forest
Of huge cryptogamic trees, arborescent ferns
and confer, with dense underground of giant
grasses. These, generation after generation,
flourish and die, their leaves branches and
trunks falling around and gradually accumu
lating, till the pulpy mass attans thickness
OF twenty, fifty and one hundred feet The pro-
cess concluded, the basin again commences to
suhside, the waters return and bury the mass
for thousands of centuries stratum after stra-
tum accumulates, till the vegetable pulp is
subjected to the pressure it, it may be, thou
sands of feet of solid matter. Meanwhile
chemical as was mechanical changes ensue
and in process of time what was once a forest
is changed into q coal bed. By repetition of
this process, with local variations, we may con-
ceiye the formation of any number of coal
seams, amounting, in some districts, to fifty or
sixty, and embraced within vertical thickness
Of several thousand feet of shales, clays and
sandstones. Ages roll on, the strata are
moved from their foundations; up-heaved from
the sea bottom, the breakers and currents
sweep away a portion of the covering, and
the mineral treasures are brought within the
reach of mining industry.-HulPs Coal Fields

The LAST RESULT OF AMBITIoN.-To be
happy at home is the ultimate result of all
ambition-the end to which every enterprise
and labor tends-and of which desire prompts
the prosecution. 1t is indeed at home that
every man must be known by those who would
make just estimate either of bis virtue or
felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike
occasional and the mind is often dressed for
show and painted honor and fictitious benevo-

WHY THE CANNON VENT IS CLOSED AFTER
DIsCHARGE.-There are always left in can
non, after discharge, pieces of the cartridge
bag on fire, and if the sponge is passed down
the bore without closing the vent, draft Of
air is created which fans the fame but if the
vent be closed, the smoke is compressed around
the burning cloths and the fire is smothered.-
Sometimes, when firing in the dark, a man
cannot find the vent until the sponge is put in;
then the fame will stream from the vent, as il
the gun was quite full of fre.-Scientifc Amer.

How TO MAKE a COOP CUP OF TEAM
Soyer recommends that, before pouring in any
water, the tea pot, with the tea in it, shall be
placed in the oven till hot, or heated by means
OF spirit lamp, or in front of the fire, (not toe
close, of course,) and the pot then filed with
boiling water. The result he says will be- in
about minute, delicious cup of tea, which
is much superior to that drawn in the ordinary
way.

The AUSTRALIAN BEAN.-One of the most
beautiful of creeping plants is the Astralian
bean. 1t grows with great luxuriance, has a
dense mating of leaves which remain green all
the year round, and over these is covering of
beautiful purple flowers which bloom nearly
the whole year. In luxuriance of its foliage
its evergreen character, and the number and
beauty of its flowers, we think it superior to
any cultivated creeper we have ever SEEM
