AERIAL VELncIprnF EYn1nlr1nx At II

AERIAL VELocIpEDE EXHIBITION. the CITY
Gardens, San Francisco, last Sunday, 18th
instant, an immense crowd of people were pres
ent 10 witness the aerial veocipede feat of Mas
ter Segrist. The velocpede used on the occa-
sion differed from those in common use only in
that the wheels grooved to about one-half
the thickness of the rope. At the time an
nounced Master Siegrist made his appearance
with his velocipede upon the stand at one end of
the wire, which stretched across the lake at an
elevation of about twenty feet He made fine
start, carrying in his hand balance-pole similar
to these used by tight-rope performers but
when nearly at the end of his perilous Journey
from some cause he lost his balance, and both
relocipede and rider were precipitated into the
lake below. Considerable excitement of course
ensued. In very short time, however, Master
Siegrist made his way to the shore with his ve-
ocipede, and after brief breathing space again
started. The second attempt was an entire sue
cess greatly to the surprise of many who wit
messed the performance.

About Woman Suffrage.

We are constantly reminded in these days of
ment begins to extend the elective fran
chise it cannot stop short of universal suffrage"
Manhood suffrage is agreed upon beyond cavil
and woman suffrage is irrepressibly on US. This
question is past the time of ridcule. Two
States have declared in its favor, and it is the
subject of daily discussion through the columns
of widely circulating newspapers. 1t is elo-
quently advocated in the lyceum and on the
stump as a measure of justice and propriety.
The movement in its behalf is based upon organ
lied and energetic effort, and it is living,
growing issue, to be decided in this generation.
Sneers and cavils will avail nothing in the way
of opposition. 1t must be met in a spirit oi
calm and thoughtful investigation, and will
finally be determined as the intelligence and
sense of right of the American people shall die
tate. We may not stultify ourselves bv object
ing that woman is intellectually inferior to man
When we establish a standard of intelligence
qualified from voting, it will be found that the
males will fare no better. 1t will not answer to
urge unfitness to hold Office; neither have ply.
Sical differences anything to do with the ques.
ton. In our judgment correct solution de.
pends entirely upon the consideration what will
be the effect upon society Granted that women
voting will have tendency to purify our poll.
tics and promote order and good conduct at the
polls, still the all important question for its ad
vocates to answer is, what will be the effect
upon woman herself? Is the putting the ballo,
in her hands necessary to elevate her in society
or to place her upon equality with man
Will the feminine character be benefited by the
mixed associations and bitter prejudices result
ing from an active participation in politics
How is she to appear in the role of politician
save at the expense of those traits of feminity
and domes:icity which constitute her chiefest
attraction and wherein lie her greatest influence
for good upon the better nature of man? II
may be that all objections can be shown to be
fllacious, but whether such be done or not

CuRIors PHEyoMESoS.-The Tuolumne City
Necs has the following:
friend writing to us from Elliott, San Joa-
quin county. informs that he has in his pos
session a surveyors instrument, on the front
lens of which there is plainly a beautiful
landscape, with all the varied hues of nature.
The cause that produced this landscape painting
on the lens is one Of those mysteries not ex-
planned by any known laws or rules of science.
The owner of the instrument, though, does not
hesitate in vouching 10 the date-even to the
very hour when this painting by some un-
known law of nature WAS done. According to
his account it occurred in this wise: Some 6f-
teen years ago the instrument, splendid one,
had been in and was left standing for time
on the plaic, in n scorching md-day's sun, front
ing woodland. When again brought into use
correct picture of the fronting woodland, with
all the various colors of the landscape, was pho
tographed on the lens, and has remained un-
changeabe to the present time.

MORMON CAVE, WHITE PINE DISTRICT The
Treasure City Ner; Of March 9th says:

In a low range of mountains, lying west of
the southern portion of the Egan range, and on
the route between this city and the Patterson
district, is found one of the most extensive and
remarkable caves on the continent, second only to
the Mammoth cave of Kentucky. AS this was
once used as resort and cache by the Mormons
and, we believe, fortified by them, we have,
therefore, called it Mormon cave. 1t was once
explored by Lieut.. Seamands for distance of
two miles through its interior passages and cav
erns, but no end was reached. Being in the dis
tant wilderness, it attracted but little attention,
and the fact of its existence almost forgotten.
The progress Of settlement has now brought civ
ilzation to the neighborhood of this great natu-
raj curiosity, and in a few years may expect
il to become of the fashionable resorts of
the summer tourists. In anticipation of this. a
man named Cook has made Il homestead claim
OF the ground surrounding the entrance, and is
making a well-graded and marked walk leading
into it and its numerous branching avenues.
This will enable visitors to explore it without
danger of being lost.

SrRAxGs.-The rapid decomposition of the
bodies of those who were lost in the late great
mining accident at Gold Hill is quite as strange
and hard to be understood rs anything connect
ed with the sad affair. The smell of the bodies
last brought up is said to have been almost in
tolerable, and the flesh of some of them seemed
as much decayed as though they had been dead
month. This is supposed to have been caused
by the great heat to which the bodies were ex-
posed and TO the effects OF bad air and poisonous
gasses filing the lower parts of the mine. II is
said that the flesh of some OF those las. brought
up was SO decayed that the fingers of those
handling the bodies would penetrate it upon the
slightest pressure.

and that fifteen hundred dollars have been SUBJ
scribed to pay the expenses of hunting them
down. We would advise the people of lower
Trinity to be on their gnard for while, because
it is possible these Humboldt Indians if hard
pushed may escape in.o our county.

The New York Horid remarks that in the re-
distribution of Congressnen after ,hecensus, next
year. the East will lose and the West will gain n
great number of Representatives. After 1870
the West, if united, will control the legislation
of the country, and control the national conven-
ton for nominating Presidential candidates.
The West is equi,ably entitled to this superior
weight now but it cannot receive the benefit OF
its wonderful growth since 1860 until after the
ten years are fully up, when by sudden stride
or leap it will make great advance in political
ipfuence.
