A Big Blast.

At the entrance TO the harbor of
San Francisco, the military au-
thorities bave been preparing the
site for . new fort on Lime Point,
The proper place was covered by q
rocky hill $50 feet high, and to re-
move this mass Of rock u huge blast
was determined on. A small tun-
mel was bored into the hill, about
twenty feet above the water, for a
distance of about sixty feet. AT
the end of the tunnel q chamber
was excavated, and a charge OF H..
900 pounds of powder was put into
it. The tunnel was then filled up
with clay and sand for distance
of forty FIVE feet, where another
chamber had been excavated which
received a charge of $500 pounds
OF blasting powder. The remain
der of tho tunnel was. then fill
ed and the two charges sim
ultaueously fred by electricity.
The result was remarkable. A lit.
tie smoke and flame were seen to
escape through the moving mass
of rock, and the whole face of the
hill in front Of the charges was seen
to move outward, falling down in
to the sea. There was no noise
from the powder, and not stone
thrown fifty feet from its position
by the force OF the explosion, Not
less than 10000 cubic yards Of
rock we're removed by the blast
Tho cost of the tunnel, powder
tampipg, Sc, was about $1,000, so
that we have 10000. cubic yards, or
$4,000 tuns ofstone broken to pieces
for $1,000; which gives the cost
per cubic yard five cents, perntuu
two and a half cents. ls aiaH

LAW. The Plain Dealer in a col
ann, makes n Jesuitical plea in
behalf Of the law distranchisiDg
the students of our Ohio colleges.
1t assumes thai this law only puts
students on an equality with 9TH
er men. This assumption is false,
aud the Pain Dealer knows it. If
an unmarried man goes from here
to Berea, or Oberlin, Hudson, or
MI. Vernon or Delaware, or Hi
ram, to sell whisky, to dig bitches,
to act as journeymen, to work on
farm, or for any other purpose,
and remains there thirty days, he
is a voter, according to the Consti-
tuition and laws of Ohio, in that
place. But if a man goes from
hero to either of those places as a,
student, he cannot vote there, even
though he remain q resident for
Tor four years. The law is direct
ed solely against students and on
cludes only them. And Why2
Because they are, presumably,
young men OF education and intel
ligence, and so, naturally, vote tho

Grant as a HumOrist.

Flags of truce were occasionally
sent back and forth between Cairo
and Columbus, and the opposing
Generals who were IN command
of those posts wero sometimes pre-
sent. On one occasion, General
Polk proposed toast, which he
said all could drink. Those pres

ITO General George Washington.
AS he paused purposely at theend
of the name, the company COM
menccd to drink. when he added,
"the first rebel" General Grant
exclaimed, THAT was scarcely fair,
General, but | will be even with
you some day" The laugh was OF
course against him, but the com
pany parted in good humOr. u la.'
Some two weeks afterward an
other flag of truce was sent down
to Columbus, General Grant ac'
companying it, After business
was over, General Grant adroitly
turned the conversation upon
State rights. He allowed them te
proceed at considerable length
without attempting to refute any
thing. Al length he arose TO go
and proposed toast at parting
Glasses were filled, and the Goner'
