Az IETELLIGENr DoG-The Milwaukee
Wisconsin of October 23d is RESPONSE
BILE for the following:
The steamer No. of the Fire De-
partment has dog of the Newfound-
land and Shepherd species that is
thought great deal of, and is certainly
a knowing animal. A few days ago an
alarm Of fire was given and the dog
was all excitement. While waiting for
the horses to be hitched up, the dog OBJ
served little girl standing before the
eHgine horses and in danger of being
run over. The dog seemed to appre
ciate the danger of the child and gave
several warning notes for it TO ge: out
of the way; but the child, carried away
by curiosity, stood and looked on calmly.
AS the horses were about to dash out Of
the door, the dog, with an instinct
worthy of notice, took the child by the
arm with his mouth and dragged it out
side, and entirely out of danger. Then
leaving the little one lying by the road
side, TO be taken care of by those who
looked on, the animal, with a happy
wag of his tail, dashed on after the
steamer, as if he had only done his duty
and wanted no reward. The boys of
No think ali the world of this dog,
and well they may.

THE FAST SMOKING GIRL.

I'm FLY Just rising eighteen,
Lots oflife I'm determined to see;
Stow Markham and Mental Improvement
No more of such nonsence for me.
Balls, concerts, drums, sensation novels,
Are the cheese for US girls of to day;
And I'll do mild weed on the quiet,
For that is the new-fashioned way.
Slow Sophia may sew herself blind;
With Herr Trompette I'll try the duet
We have practiced so many times over,
But never sang perfectly yet;
"Come, let US be happy together.
For where there's will there's a way"
In the Lost One or La Traviata
He'll make me quite perfect some day.
The weekly accounts may be filed;
How can l have time for one glance,
When dear Monsieur Chassez is coming
To teach me that jolly new dance
He says: "Mees, you must clerer rotre-jape
Eos tres-petits pieds to deesplay'
When he twirls me about in the trois temps
From earth we seem floating away,
Shut up and don't preach about marriage,
Ofspoons you well know I've a host
When come to your old fogy age
l shan't have TO mourn over time lost.
The neighbors may gossip, and welcome;
l don't mind two pins what they say;
III hook rich stupid old husband.
And III promise-but he shall obey

The landowners keep down the
Irish, in Ireland, by very simple pro-
cess-that of raising the rent of the
land upon every available excuse. The
daughter of very thrifty farmer, who
paid the largest rent 10 the parish, bough,
a very cheap silk dress, and the lady OF
the land, while out riding, saw her with
it on, and asked the footman if be knew
who she was. "Yes, your ladyship,"
replied the lackey, "she's Peter Nc
Cartby's daughter, who lives two miles
from" Her ladyship said nothing,
but when she arrived--House she
sen. for the agent of her lords estate
and inquired W hat rent Peter Mccarthy,
Of, was paying. The attentive
agent promptly replied, "fl los. per
acre, the very highest, as the land is
pretty good" "Increase it to e." re-
spcnded her ladyship. "But it is not
worth it," responded the agent. "It
must be when he can afford to put a
silk dress upon his daughter" replied
her lady ship. Aud the rent was raised,
to the ruin Of the farmer.

MINING ACCIDENT. - The Gold Hill

MINING ACCIDENT. The Gold Hill
News of last evening says:
We learn that at about II o'clock a.
N. to day Mr.. jeffrey, miner, was con-
sderably but not seriously injured in
the Hale 4 Norcross shaft. He was on
T. cage, when the hosting reel or cable
go, loose and let the cage 60 down at
!. fearful rate for nearly 200 feet, bring
ing up with great force on platform
at "a station, Earring him very severely.
The tension retained by the cable was
sufficient not to allow the safety hooks
10 catch it, and when the cable was all
run out it broke loose from the reel and
went down the shaft. The iron roof of
the cage protected Jeffreys from the
Ieayy cable.

THE San Francisco clothing merchants
are beginning to squirm at the Chicago
houses coming in there and underbid-
ding them. TSey say it is because the
wages of journeyn.en are forty per cent.
less in Chicago; and as the wages in
New York are still less, they offer to
send the measures of their customers
to that city and have them made ten
per cent. below the Chicago rates. If
they do this, their own journeymen will
tie thrown entirely out of employment,
and then what? Will not wages there
lave to come down?

WHALE CHASED AND KILLED.-The

A WHALE CHASED AND kILLED.-The
Monterey Democrat of November 9th
relates the annexed lively incident:
On Tuesday last, about noon, whale
made its appearance just off the town,
and almost within pistol of the
wharf. The morning had been foggy
and the whalemen were ashore at the
time. Their game was no: left long in
his fancied security manning quickly
their boats, they put off in chase, The
whalers use two guns-one, which dis
charges a barpoon, and the other a
bomb. With the first they speedily
made fast to the monster, and there
upon ensued spectacle which lands
men rarely witness. The whale, as
quick as be felt the smart of the har-
pooh, darted seward, towing the boat
behind him at more than race horse
speed. From time to time, emerging
for a moment TO breathe, the relentless
enemies in his wake would hurl a bomb
at him.
II seemed as if the animal meant to
afford the lookers.on a full view of the
rare spectacle aud that they should have
no trouble to be sin at the death" The
tow-line, of course, was invisible from
the shore, and the boat seemed to be
glancing in pursuit with the speed Of
an arrow; from its bow hung crescent
of glittering spray and long wake of
bright water marked the track. The
seeming race continued out to aud past
Chinatown, a mile or two from where
FIRST struck, when. doubling the animal
came back to a point little distant
from the "fry-pots'' ashore. By this
time he had received several mortal
hurts Spouting thick blood, he went
into the 'Hurry," lashing the water
into foam for half an acre or more Of
surface, and SC, turning up his belly,
lay dead.

Friday Morning, Novemb'r I2, 1860
THB SAN FRAScIsco CHAMBER OF

Tss SAN FRAxcIsco CHAMBER OF
CoxxERcs seem to have got their eyes
open to one very important fact. They
lave at last found out that the mari
time trade of that city is suffering from
some of the most outrageous abuses
that were ever imposed upon any class
OF people. The experience of years has
JUS, begun to have its effect; and the
merchants of San Francisco are but
now aware that the systematic extor-
,ions to which ship owners, ship officers
sai sailors and all who have anything
to do with wharfage and dockage and
Larbor dues and the like is initiating
against the prosperity of that city.
Ship owners and those who are con-
uected with them and serve them be-
come tired, a, length, with being syste-
natically swindled every time they
make a voyage to San Francisco. The
wonder is that the Chamber of Com.
Eerce has not long since raised pro-
test against the tbieving practices of
the harpies who infest the wharves and
Prey upon the shipping which comes to
the port. Having ventured upon one
measure of reform, it would be indica-
tive of enterprise and an appreciation
OF the absurd and ruinous circumstances
ty which they are surrounded if the
Chamber of Commerce would probe
some more of the rotten spots which
are SO apparent in the commercial af-
fairs of that city.

STUPIDITY OF Observation-Disclosures
if left on the rocks, never go back to
the water of their own accord; they
wait till it comes to them. This peculi.
arity has often been observed after a
landslide, which, by its great weight,
forces up portion of the bottom Of
the sea. On this suddenly elevated bit
of ground there often happens to be
several Holsters, which doubtless think
the low tide has taken place with an
Uncommon celebrity, and that it will re-
turn again. Anyhow, the foolish crea
lures wait for the tide to come up and
cover them. Of course, it never does
come up again, and they remain in their
places and die there, although the water
is in many instances only few feet
from their noses. They have not the
sense to tumble into it and be safe.

Tas SrEvExs FLoArIHo BAfrERY.-
This famous Sea Monster, the construc-
ton of which is superintended BY Gen.
cClellan, is thus described:
The plan of the work was first sub.
mitted to Congress by the Brothers
Stevens, of New Jersey, in ls4l, and
subsequently, an appropriation was
made TO prosecute the work under the
auspices of the General Government.
Work was continued on the battery for
one year and eight months, when it was
found that an immense sum in addition
to former appropriations would be re-
quired, and her construction was aban.
dOned. Nothing further was done until
the death of Commodore Stevens, who
left a large sum to complete the work,
which, in his will, he bequeathed to the
State of New Jersey. Since then 200
men have been employed on the battery,
which, when finished, will be 400 feet
in length, SO feet breadth of beam or
width, and % feet in depth of hold.
Her draught of water when light will
be II feet inches; with Goals and
stores on board 20 feet G inches; and
when complete and ready for action,
with guns, shot, shell and powder, and
her crew on board, she would draw %
feet six inches. She has 10 boilers-al-
ready on board engines, with cylin-
ders feet inches in diameter and 3
feet inches stroke of piston. Her
steam power is represented by $500
horses. Her hull which is almost en-
tirely beneath the water, is plated with
g inches of iron, would prove very in
significant mark in an engagement, and
if struck at all, it is hardly possible |
that the balls would penetrate her
heavy coating of iron. When carrying |
her full armament she will mount five |
ffteen.inch guns-,he heaviest arma. |
ment of its kind on any vessel in the
world excepting the Rochambeau Of the
French navy.
