was killed in the great battle of the
glorious first OF June, and Mon
day became not only a playmate
but sort of guardian to us boys. He
climbed walnut trees for us, he scaled
old runs for hawks nests, he laid out
night-lines for us, he drove off violent
bulls that chased US in meadows in

he even fought farmers men who
caught us under suspicious eircum-

THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH
AMER1cA.-A correspondent writing from
Valparaiso, August 18th. says Last night,
about IL o'clock, this locality had rather a
rude nudge from the palsied knuckles OF
old " tremblement de terre," but the people
do not appear to be very unhappy in conse-
quence. A correspondent in Talcuhuana
says: At 10 o'clocx at night phenomenon
was noticed. The sea had gone back over
two hundred and seventy yards, and this, in
the opin ion of those who had W witnessed the
destruction in 1885 was the forerunner of an
immediate deluge. In fact, a little before
IL o'clock at night the sea seemed to swell
and rise some three and half or four meters
above its former level and dashed upon the
beach with an awful roar.
Fortunately for the inhabitants Of the
port, who knew either by their own exper-
ieuce or by the traditions handed down by
those who saw the food of 1885, that they
should not contide in the usual calmness Of
the water of the bay, they FASTENED up the
hills the first moment the sea went out. and,
thanks to this foresight, we have not now
to lament the loss of hundreds of lives. In
other places the earth opened, throwing up
orrents of water, mingled with ashes, and
he fresh water failed. In Ecuador it is
calculated that not less than 5000 lives
we're lost.

DEEP SEA SoUNDINes.-L. F. Pourtales
gentleman engaged in the United States
coast survey, dredged along the course Of the
Gulf Stream. Starting northeasterly from
Florida he found the bottom of four or five
miles made up of the common coral sand OF
that neighborhood, with very scanty trees Of
life. The next area, from 80 to 800 fathoms,
and the first part Of the way forming pla-
teau, is = rocky floor made of a very hard
lime stone, derived from living shells. Life
was abundant, consisting Of lamp-shells,
star6shes, crustaines, and mollusks generally.
There were also many bones Of the manateo,
a dolphin-like animal, usually found living in
shallow-water. The third area was the regu-
lar and common ocean bottom, from $50 to
800 fathoms, covered BY the chalky remains
of foraminifera. He also dredged the bottom
of the ocean off the coast, and found, first,
extending from the north Of Florida to
Montauk Point, near Block Island, r. l., a
bottom of siliceous sand, perhaps hundred
miles wide. Outside of it was a calcareous
bottom occupying the whole area south of
Georgia. Between the two, of the Caro- mas,
is limited deposit of green sand, containing
the foraminifera. His operations, it is said,
open 4 new chapter in natural history, dis
closing the various faunae at the bottom Of
the ocean. Among the animals obtained
we're some that had been extinct since the
and tertiary periods.

On THE 18th of September, says the San
Bernardino (Cal.) Guardian, N. Kavanaugh,
who lives at the toll-gate in the Csjon Pass
had his horse killed from the effects of rat
tlesnake bite. The folio wing Tuesday morn
ing Mr.. Kavanaugh, in company with James
Brown, went to the body Of the horse, to as
certain from whence proceeded some noise
they had heard during the night. On nearing
the place their dog ran bear cub up a tree.
The cub, on seeing them, started down again
and Mr.. Kavanaugh went for him and grab
bed him, at the same time telling Brown to
watch for the old bear. After some over-and-
under and up-and-down and roundabout
Kavanaugh obtained control
of the cub, but at the expense Of bitten and
torn arm, and the loss Of his clothes. The
cub squalled good deal; and the old grizzly
made her appearance on the ground, which
induced Kavanaugh and Brown to leave the
capture of the two bears until some better
opportunity.

CALIFORNIA MINERS SONG.

The Eastern sky is blushing red,
The distant hill top glowing,
The water DER its rocky bed
In idle frolics flowing
'Tis time the pick-ax and the spade
Against the rocks were ringing,
And with ourselves the golden stream
A song Of labor singing.
The mountain air is fresh and cold,
Unclouded skies bend DER US;
Broad placers, rich in gold,
Lie temptingly beforeus
We need no Midas magic wand,
Nor wizards rod oivining-
The pick-ax, spade, and brawny hand
Are sorcerers in mining.
When labor closes with the day,
To simple fare returning,
We gather in a merry group
Around the camp-fres burning.
The mountain sod our couch at night.
The stars keep watch above US !;
We think of home, and fall asleep
To dream of those who love US.

PERFECT PRINTING.-1t has been much
doubted whether an absolutely perfect copy
of classical author has ever been printed.
An experiment was made BY a famous firm
in Glasgow. Every precaution was taken to
procure typographical accuracy. Six ex-
perienced proof readers were employed. who
devoted many hours to each page and when
they had done with it, it was posted up in the
hall of the university, with a notice offering
a reward of fifty pounds to any person who
discovered an error. Each page was thus
posted for two weeks before it went to press.
No error was discovered; but when the work
was printed, several errors were detected,
one of which was in the first line of the first
Herald.

SAN Francisco, Sept. Is, 1868.
Thos. Stevenson, Mormon Island-Dear
Sir: Your favor OF the 14th instant, in reia-
ton to " license for distillers," came duly to
hand. The license is all wrong but it is
not our fault. President Johnson's Whis-
ky Ring" is responsible for the tax. The
Ring as you know, is composed of the
large distillers of New York and the West,
and the members contributed, it is said, over
two millions and half to defeat impeach-
ment. They are getting their pay now by
crushing out all the little ones. Farther than
this, it is in the discretion of the Secretary of
the Treasury to modify or change the tax, or
take it off altogether. except the fifty cents
per gallon tax. McCulloch, Johnson's Sec
rotary, who supports Seymour and Blair, can
relieve against this tax in ten minutes, aud
as long as it can be laid on our backs, of
course he will keep it on. Don't let our
friends be humbugged in relation to this mat
ter. 1t was understood on all hands in the
Senate, among our friends, that the manufac-
turers of brandy from fruit should and would
be relieved from the license-and it would
have been done before this if it was not hurt |
ing Grant. Very truly yours,
ALFRED BERsTOw, Secretary.
