Earth0uake0.

Philip A. Roach, at San Francisco,
writes to the Alta as follows on this sub
ject:
In your leader Of this morning or the
Grand Jury report, you alluded to my
having resided in Lisbon in lS47. AS
earthquakes are frequent here, these re-
marks are presented for comparison. The
earthquakes at Lisbon Of 1866, which was
80 destructive of human life, occurred on
the Festival of.All Saints Day, the Let Of
November, at a time when the churches
were crowded. The shock threw down
the candles at the different affairs, and soon
q conhagration united its terrors to those
caused by the earthquakes and invading
sea. .aa.a
Pomba!, the Prime Minister of Portu-
gal, on re~constructing the city, consulted
the best engineering talent of Europe, and
Lisbon to-day is an immense city of mas
siye stone and brick buildings, four, five
and six stories high.
The frames of the buildings are Of heavy
Norwegian timber, and these alone would
support the floors and roofing. In lS47
I occupied a suit Of room on the Caes de
Sodre, the successor of the marble quay
where in l755iso many persisted. The
hotel was one Of the largest in the city.
At midnight I was awakened by a severe
shock, and experienced an acute pain in
my head and breast. I rushed to. the
window, and seeing q terrified crowd
moving to and fro in white garments, /
hesitated to jump; most fortunately, for
the fall would have dashed me to pieces.
The next day the ground showed many
assures from one inch to several feet wide.
The royal family fed from the palace, in
the vicinity of which-the environs of the
city-the openings of the ground we're
larger than elsewhere. In the city not
one of those high, massive buildings ex-
hibited any signs of the contest had with
that mysterious power called Earthquake.
Between 1866 and lS47 several shocks
occurred, some Of great severity, yet these
substantial structures stood uninjured by
them. Perhaps their dead weight caused
openings at the weaker points. Lisbon is
faced with q heavy sea-wall OF stone,
which secures the foundations of the
buildings near it. On these subjects all
the notes I had were destroyed in 1850.
In the recent earthquakes here the
buildings damaged are on made ground
of the old water line. Look at Morrill's
building, the Custom House, etc. There
is a pressure seaward which can only be
prevented by the construction Of q heavy
sea wall around the city. When this is
completed, bracing as it will the front,
u citizens need have no apprehension of
shocks, even far severer than we have
thus far experienced.

SAN FRANCISCO DISPATCH.
DuPKrcH TO THE GOLD HILL DAILY NkWs.l
SAN Francisco, Nov. l0-2 P. ".
Forenoon Stock transactions.

PRETTY MBN.-The San Francisco Po-
lice Gazette, a little ironically, thus refers
to q class of handsome men who are con-
tinually on exhibition in the streets and
at the hotel and saloon doors in that city {:
We believe there are more handsome
men in San Francisco than in any other
city of its size in the Union! If any Of
our readers don't agree with US on this
point, Just let them take a pas,ear through
some Of u principal streets along in the
afternoon. You can't help seeing them.
Take Montgomery street, for instance.
All along that thoroughfare, on the cor
ners, in the doorways Of the Lick House,
Russ House, and other buildings, they
are posted, perfectly bcwiching counter
parts of the original Adonis. Haven't
YOU seen them: Of course you have.
With all their pretty and bewitching airs,
though, there is something about the most
of them that ELECTS our sympathy. Pity
it is that with all this outward sign Of per-
fiction, there should be lacking beneath
those wcll-oiled locks the peculiar essence
that distinguishes the lord Of creation
from the chattering ape.

No fact is more thoroughly established

The Erie Railroadi-which once ran
through a wilderness-can now live and
pay big dividends without carrying q
pound Of through freight or a single
Chicago passenger.
The following statement, derived from
the report of Baron Charles Dupin, on the
Paris and Orleans Railway, exhibits the
increase OF trade in some parts of Europe,
brought about by the construction of rail-
roads. Comparison of the number OF
travellers conveyed daily throughout the

BEEF FOR JOHNNY Bull The roast
beef of old England will soo have to be
furnished by the Yankees. The cattle
epidemic in Europe has created a necessity
for the importation of healthy meat from
America. Six thousand barrels of mess
beef were recently purchased in New York
for shipment to Great Britain. Were it
not for the large amount of beef packed
last Fall and Winter. in anticipation Of
a further army demand, such shipments
would have an important influence on our
markets.

SCREW LoosE.-The Reese River Re-

ment and loss to the scissors editor OF the

Postmaster at Virginia, will see TO it, on
reading this notice. No paper is mailed

Knox has recovered his lost sheep. He
found them in the possession Of a man
near New Almaden, who claimed to be an
innocent purchaser, and said that he had

thief has not been caught. This thing Of
making a successful job of steeling a whole
flock Of 500 sheep is something to speak
Of and admire among those engaged in the

low who stole the mill, but got caught

FoRCE.-A year or two ago Professor Tyn-
dali demonstrated before the Royal Institution
Of London that all motion produced heat. and
then that in return SO much htst was equal to
so much motive power. Sir John IIcrschel
had before declared that all our motive power
comes from the sun, SO that every wind that
blows, every wave that beats, all the steam
power on which we pride ourselves, all the
vegetable life which as wood. or peat, or coal,
becomes fuel for the engine or food, which is
the fuel Of animal life, comes from the sun,
and is bottled up, i'll coal for instance, from
long ages ago, to be uncorked now under the
guidance of the mind Of man. We have no
power to originate force, only to direct it---all
power coming from God in the most literal
sense, and all the forces Of nature being really
exchangeablc one for the other, but not being
capable Of being expended any more than mat
ter itself, but only changed in for or more prop
erly in direction according to certain fixed laws
by spiritual forces, such as those which each
man is conscious within himself, but which
here cannot be discussed. Thus it is that the
thoughts OF the wise increasingly govern the

How SUGAR Is MADE WHIrE.-The way in
which sugar is made perfectly white, it is s!id,
had gone through a clay mud puddle, went
with her muddy feet into a sugar house. She
left her tracks on pile OF sugar 1t was OBJ
served by some one, that wherever the tracks
were the sugar was whitencd This led to
some experiments The result WAS that wet
clay came to be used in refining sugar. It is
used in this way y:-the sugar is put into earth
en- jars, shaped as you see the sugar loayes are.
The large ends are upwards. The smaller ends
have a hole in them. The jar is filled with su-
car, the clay put over the top, and kept wet
The moisture goes down through the sugar
and drops from the hole in the small end of
the jar. This makes the sugar perfectly white
