A New WATER FALL. - The Mariposa
Free Press says that magnificent water
fall, hitherto unnoticed by white men, was
discovered on Tuesday Of last week, at the
point where Mercer creek empties its waters
into the Upper San Joaquin, in Mariposa
county. The water from the creek, which
at present is swollen by melting SHOWS to an
immense volume, punges ;uto the bed Of the
San Joaquin over wall Of granite upwards
OF 200 feet in hight. The river itself rushes
through narrow gorge or cteft in The gram
lite, which appears to have been rent a>under
by some terrible convulson of nature. The
fall and its surroundings are Described by
those who have seen them, as rvalling in
wildness and grandeur,the scenery in the Yo'
semitic Valley.

who lately preached sermon in his church

answered, Thou shalt not smte lhem.-

ANCIENT MILLs.-Near Santa Cruz, AS we
learn from the Sentinel, are the remains of
two Touring mills that used to grind grain
before the Americans took possession of
California They were driven by water
power (horizontal wheel,) and of rude con
struction. The first was used by Nicholas
Dodero, an Italian, to the year 1910, and
capable of grinding from $500 to 5000
pounds of flour per day. The mill stones are
of hard granite or trap rock. Bat the most
ancient was the mill owned by Rafael Cas-
tro OF which we learned bat few particulars
The mill stones are small, of trap rock, very
hard and tlinty, and rudey constructed -
They are in the tannery yard of Messrs
Jones d Co, having been placed there in
1916.

REMARKABLE FEArs.-J. E. Tayo :he
negro minstrel though not as funny as bis
predecessor the oIeaginous William Birch, is
certainly more active than the black Momus
aforesaid. On Sunday last, at the Glen nbrook
race course, near Grass Valley, he performed
the following teats, all within one hour:-
First, walked half mile Second, ran
one mile. Third ran a coach wheel one
mile. Fourth, drew sulky half a mile. -
Fifth, ran half a mile and jumped six hurdles
three feet six inches high. Sixth, hoped
fifty yards on one leg. Seventh, picked up
thirty stones one yard apart and brought
each back to the'place of starting. Eighth,
picked up thirty eggs, one yard apart, with
his mouth without touching his knees to the
ground, bringing each back to the place OF
starting. Ninth, threw twenty 56rpound
weights in succession over his head with one
hand. The National says, AT the termi.
nation of the feats. Taylor seemed but little
distressed, and we believe he can do the same
in three.quarters of an hour. In San Fran
cisco he is matched against time to do the
same thing and 90 mile further. The COOS
used by Taylor, were put up at auction aud
sold on the ground for six bits aud dollar
apiece"

CURIOUS EXPERIMENT. - Mr.. Kropinp
points out the following mode of determining
which of two objects seen from distance is
further off than the other. Let the reader
suppose two trees, for instance, standing in
line with his eye; If he moves his eve to the
right, the tree which is nearer will appear to
move to the left, and the other will seem TO
follow the motion of the eye. The expert
inent is curious, and may be easily perform,
ed, only taking care to make the eve move
in line perpendicular to that in which it
previously was; that is perpendicular to the
line which joins the two objects; then the OBJ
ject which follows the motion of the eye is
the further of the two.

SHARP PRACrIcE.-Some Of the Lono
Hairs are so badly scared at the increasing
strength of the Short Hairs, that they have
been compelled, as we are informed, to start
runners to different parts of the county, to
circulate the report that "the Short Haired
County Convention is fizze and will not be
held" This appears to us untrue, for the
Short HAIRS are at work with will, and say
positively they will hold their Convention on
Tuesday next, and nominate a foil ticket
They assert their ability 10 elect it. So,
Long Hairs look out for your scalps.
