with dates from that port up to the 2ith ult She
engaged quite freight and a number Of passengers
for Hongkong, but before they could be taken on
board the Trades blowing fresh she parted her chain
and was obliged to make sail and proceed to sea-
leaving passengers and freight anchor and chain be-

bound vessels have touched here and generally they
have not been prepared to take either passengers or
freight although the rates Of the latter double
There is no detention delay, and it i seldom that
an occurrence happens such a. the Sea Serpent met
with. The Trade wind is of the land.
We learn that there is some probability Of a line
OF steamers being put on between san Francisco and
Australia via Honolulu, the completion Of the

Congress early in the session.

EXPORTS.

The BOWELS OF THE EARTH.-W. Frank
Stewart says, in a recent communication TO
the San Jose Patriot, that ever since the
great earthquake shock many of the people
of the San Jose valley are in dread lest the
ground may open aud swallow them up. He
writes to allay these fears, and, in so doing,
says:
"At the depth of from so to 5000 feet be-
low the surface of the lands surrounding
the southern end of the bay of San Fran
cisco, there is fresh water lake, or BASIN
filed with antediluvian logs, bones of ex-
tinct animals, gravel sand and fresh water
Immediately everything this subterranean
lake is sort of lid or crust of blue clay,
which is extremely tenacious and imper-
vious to air or water Above this stratum
though clay rests the strata of draft and
alluvium forming the external, or surface
portions of the valley. II Is evident that
the waters of this subterrGnean lake are
separated from the waters of the bay by q
wall or rim of rocks, otherwise our artesian
wells would become saline. Now, If We
can imagine an underground lake or saturat-
ed bed of gravel many miles in width,
Theoretically sealed by substantial and i'm
penious lid, so that it may lie in the Garth
at an angle Of 20 or so degrees, like COW
cred vessel with one side elevated, we then
can form very just conception of our
artesian basin, and give q reason way the
water flows out with such force at the sur
face when the basin is tapped. During an
earthshock, all bodies lose temporarily,
portion Of their specific weight, and light
matter such as water has a tendency TO fly
upward. This tendency to fly upward
facilitates the existing tremendous hyd-
raulic pressure of our confined artesian basin,
and causes the swaying sand and water to
break through the everything clay lid at the
thinnest Places This accounts nationally
for the assures and upheavals at Milpitas and
other localities. In short, the abraisous are
wholly attributable 10 aqueous and not to
ig''eoHs action as many have supposed"

FUssY PEoPLE-They are to be avoided;
they are nuisances. Properly speaking, there
is no place for them In the wide world. They
are anomalous. They are excrescences-
They have neither time nor place Discom-
fort is their mission; TO unharmonize their
end. They are Satan's own. They fuss
merely TO be fussy. They 90 about making
smooth places rough. They pop in where
there is sunshine, aud straightway comes q
cloud. Pussy folks are not confined TO sex,
but they abound, 1t must be confessed, with
females. Your female who has passed the
thirty-fifth summer is prize on fuss. Hence
on, she is fuss In constantly increasing, con-
centrated form. At forty, she Is provoking
ly fussy; at fifty she is distressingly SO. II
possible, give the fusser very wide margin

Production AND CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR.
Senior Ramon de Ia Sagra, the well-known
Havana correspondent of the Didrio de Ia
Marina, furnishes some interesting statistics
relative 10 sugar. The estimates, given in
kilogrammes, were carefully made up by Mr.
bureau from data obtained during the late
Exposition in Paris. Some of these results,
reduced TO pounds, are as follows:
In 1866, the total production of sugar from
cane was 3, l59, 424, $40 pounds, of which
Cuba produced for export, 1,205, SIS, $50
pounds. The total product in Europe of
sugar from the beet was ], 490, 3l3, 500 pounds,
479, PAS, s26 pounds of which was from All
factories of France, and the remainder from
Germany, Russia, Austria, Belgium, Poland,
and Holland. During the same year, the
quantity of sugar consumed in the world
was 4,305, sos, 1858 pounds, of which Great
Britain and her colonies used l ,32S, 020, 1872
pounds, and the United States sS4, 900, 900
pounds.
In 1867, the production was as follows:

CURE FOR IS-GRowING NAILS. 1t is
stated that cauterization by hot tallow is an
immediate cure for in-growing nails Put
small piece Of tallow in a spoon, heat II over
lamp until 1t becomes very hot, and drop
two or three drops between nails and granu-
iations. The effect is almost magical. Pain
and tenderness are at once relieved, and in q
few days the granulations all go, leaving the
diseased parts dry, and destitute of all feel
ing, and the edge of the nail exposed, so
as to admit of being pared away without
any Inconvenience. The operation causes
little If any pain, II the tallow is properly
heated

CoRREcTIoNs.-Wilhelm l., King of Prus-
STA, aud Chief of the North German Confed-
Grafton, does not seem to have found favor
with correspondent of the Boston Journal.
His comments on the frugal habits of that
monarch may be entirely true, and if they
are so, it is certain that such habits tend
greatly to commend him to the German peo-
pie, who are not only frugal themselves, but
commend that virtue in others. The king
who chooses able ministers and takes their
advice, and whose reign has certainly had
the endorsement of success can scarcely be
said to "have not the first element of states
manship in his composition" but, on the
contrary, would be supposed to have demon
strated that he had the chief elements there
of in him. The Prussian people are fond of
military display, and take the greatest pride
in the efficiency of their army, nor do we be-
lieve that any one ever heard from Prussian
lips in Berlin any murmurings about the mil
itary establishment. Indeed, they are all
soldiers. II the correspondents observation
is worth nothing more in political and social
matters, than it seems to be where his eyes
as well as ears might give him more reliable
information, he can not be of any great value
as a source of information He states the
city of Berlin to have population of $1,000,
of which 5000 are Jews, and garrison of
$1,000 soldiers. The population of Berlin is
10000. The number Of Jews therein we do
not know. The number of men ordina-
rily under arms in Berlin and Potsdam is
10000.

THE weekly British ColOnia, of Victoria,

October 10:
The bark NduRaloa, Capt Reinking, ar
rived from Honolulu yesterday morning,
having left the Islands on the 3rd of Septem-
Der. During the trip she experienced pleas
ant weather, with light winds, until reaching
the coast of Vancouver Island, on the 18th
Of September, when Ii became thick and
heavy, but without wind. She got into the
Straits on the 9th Of October, and night be-
fore last anchored of Port Angeles, not
knowing exactly where drifting in TO the fog;
yesterday she came up TO her wharf under
full sail. She reports trade somewhat dull
at the Islands, and the earthquakes quiet up
10 leaving. The vessel brings a small cargo
-S62 barrels of molasses, and 20 tons of salt.
She will commence discharging this morn
ing, and afterwards proceed TO Burrard Inlet
to load with lumber The vessel and cargo
are consigned to Janion, Rhodes & Co.

From which it appears that Great Britain
and her Colonies, with the United States,
consume half the sugar of the world.
As yet, we have no data from which exact
information can be had as to the product of
Cuba in 1865, but gentlemen having the best
means of estimating, generally consider the
crop about 1000, 900, or say !, 900, 900, 900

NATIVE ADvERTIsERs.-Some very singu-

papers, occasionally tragic, but oftener fun

waiian female, in which she notified the pub
lie at large that her husband, Portuguese,
had sent her off from his bed and board, and
that without cause; consequently, she in-
formed everybody more especially shop
keepers-that she is going TO run in debt on
her husbands account, to any extent. The
query may arise in the minds of the said
shopkeepers, whether it is quite safe to in
trust her with the goods under the circum-
stances.

New EDITION OF AN OLD sToRY.-The fire
alarm on Saturday morning was caused by
the same want of common sense and fore
sight which has been the origin Of much
misery, and even of great misfortunes-leav-

The Individual who shows such a lack OF
prudence, and SO little consideration for the
community, deserves a severe censure The
time is gone by when he would have had TO
run the gauntlet of the FIRE companies turned
out at such an unreasonable hour on his be-
half, but we can not spare him the more
gentle and less hurtful chastisement of run
ming the gauntlet through our columns.
