WATER vrLoCIpEDE.-Thc Petaluma
1oy,,al of March 18th says:

journal OF muEOA ~
Evervthipe has its day-and just now
voioc;nedes are having theirs. One, two
and three wheeled machines Of this
character to traverse floors and smooth
streets. are fast losing interest to the
nublic. That this might not prove the
case entirely, and to give fresh stimulus
to the prevailing epidemic, q novel ex-
pertinent was recently tried in this city,
The success or failure of which is not
vet definitely settled. A gentleman Of
great inventive genius, whose name we
withhold, conceived the idea of making
practicable n velocipede of the aquatic
species, which would possess both speed
aud safety, and make a revolution in
the mode and manner Of water trans
~portation. On Sunday last /. was duly
launched in the placid waters Of Peta-
luna Creek. The machine is about 20
feet long, and consists Of three barrel
shaped air tight drums, resting in the
water, two aft and one forward, on the
| surface of which are paddles, about four
inches wide, at intervals Of Is inches.
Between the drums there is q crank,
which is attached to the drums by
means of belts. Afoat and in motion,
it hns the appearance of three great
barrels possessed Of internal powers Of
locomotion. Tho drums draw about
seven inches of water with six ME on
board, arc capable Of floating many tons,
but in his calculations of speed the in
ventor was somewhat disappointed. For
safety in travelling it cannot be equNled,
rs there is little danger of its sinking or
blowing up. If, by diut of genius, any
great speed can DO obtained for it, we
will have no hesitancy in ]pronouncing
il n " big thing in water"

A NEW ROUTE.

The new railroad and steamboat route
from Sacramento to Suisun, Vallejo
and San Francisco, is becoming quite
popular among travellers. We had
occasion to visit tho Bay q few days
since, and rs we went over it, we can
commend this new thoroughfare to any
of our Washoc friends who may have
occasion to go to San Francisco. At
six o'clock every morning, the hotel
omnibuses leave Sacramento and cross
the bridge to Washington, where the
cars for Vallejo leave at q quarter past
six-nrriving at Suisun in one hour and
a half; and in another hour they
arrive at the wharf at South Vallejo,
where they are joined by another pas
scnger train from Calistoga. The fast
and splendid steamer New World
receives tho passengers, and in one hour
and threc-quartcrs arrives at her dock
in San Francisco. Tho trip from Sac
ramento generally occupies only about
four and q half hours, passing through
q most beautiful region of country.
The New World has lately been entirely
overhauled and repaired, and with the
new machinery, is acknowledged TO be
the fastest steamer on the Bay. Old
Captain Galloway, formerly Of the
Stockton route, commands her and
the g%entlemanly Clerk, Mr.. Cole, IA
young gentleman who was Secretary Of
several mining companies in Gold Hill
in 1863, is quite efficient in making
passengers comfortable, especially il
they arc Washoites. As we were over
the new route twice within n week, and
as its comfort and pleasure is worthy OF
note, we can safely recommend it to
people on this side Of tho mountains
who may wish to visit the Bay.

ST. PATRIcK'S DAY.

H
To-day is the anniversary Of the
birth of the Patron Saint of that green
island, whose sons, good and bad, are
scattered throughout Christendom.
Every true Irishman holds this day
sacred to the memory Of the good ST..
Patrick, and ever will while a vestige
Of Irish nationality exists. Here in
the land of the sage brush and the
bullion brick, Erin's sons and
daughters join in appropriate observ-
ance of their usual holiday on this
memorable occasion in unison and SYM
PATTY with their relatives or friends in
the old country.
1t is recorded of St. Patrick that he
was born hear the site Of Fitzpatrick, at
the mouth Of the Clyde, in Scotland, in
372-only l,497 years ago. He died at
Down, Ulster, probably in AGA. At the
age Of l6 he was carried n captive to
Ireland by a band Of marauders, but
made his escape after six months and
reached Scotland. Carried of a second
time, and again escaping, he resolved
to become u missionary to tho Irish
ono of the hardest crosses a man could
possibly bcar-was ordained in Scot
land, and after n long prepare
ton vas consecrated Bishop. Having
previously, according to some account,
visited Gaul and perhaps Italy, he
passed over to his chosen field Of labor
about 1872, and preached tho gospel
with such extraordinary effect that,
although not absolutely the first to
introduce Christianity into the country,
he has always received the credit Of its
conversion. He baptized tho Kings o.
Dublin and Munster, and the seven sons
Of the King of Conuaught, with the
greater part Of their subjects, and
before his death had converted almost
the whole island to the faith.
\ popular legend ascribes to him the
Punishment of all the snakes, toads and
venomous reptiles from the island, by
means of his erosion and staff, and
many other good and seryiceable deeds
arc recorded rs being wrought by his
hands and sanity power. The memory
of all truly good men should be
approximately hOnored and respected
so we honor and respect that of Saint
| Patrick.

have been committed about San Jose
within q few months past-and among
them was a large distillery, which had

destroying the church was, that in the

undertook to instruct some Chinese in

slant, says: 4 horrible tragedy was
uncarthcd hero last night. Last April,
John W. VNnnata, of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, secured the affections of Miss
Horn, of this place, and married her in
opposition to the wishes Of her parents
and relatives. On tho wedding night,
nearly all tho guests, thirty in number,
were taken sick with every appearance
of poisoning by arsenic, and a sister OF
Miss Horn died from its effects. 1t has

elopement with q young lady named
Bennett within the last few days, and
in his letter TO her he gives q full
history of the poisoning, acknowledging
that he had put q large quantity OF
arsenic in the water from which the
coffee was prepared, and that he did it
in revenge for the manner in which the
family had treated him. Ho was ar
rested on Friday, and after examination
wns committed to Jail in default Of bail

SoNoMA Soar MISEs.-Benjamin Har-
rison, who claims to be the ~discoverer
of the soap mine recently found some
five miles wost of Sebastopol, says the
Sonoma (Cal.) Democrat of February
20, has made another discovery of the
same character. This latter soap mine
is about six miles west of the first, and
about eighteen miles from this place.
The stono in its natural formation is OF
various colors. By rubbing il on a
hard surface it assume n polished mp
pcarance, like marble but by crushing
il is reduced to n powder as fine and
white as flour. While from the first
mine an excellent article of soap is
made for all purposes of family use,
from the material in the latter mine a
good toilet and shaving soap is manu-.
featured. This is no hoax. Specimens
of the ore, in its natural condition and
crushed, a be seen at our office, also
some soft soap mado from tho same is
in our possession.

A REuARKABLk SUIT.-A remarkable
suit came up for trial in the Superior
Court, Chicago, involving city property
valued at $1,000, 900. Tho suit is
brought by Henry Uhlick, oldest son Of
the late Carl Gottfricd Uhlick. The de.
ceased had three sons. Henry disagreed
with bis father, and tho younger sons
were of weak intellect. Old Uhlick,
just before his death, confided in
John n. Muhliko and entrusted his nE
fairs to his management. The million
aire died iutestate, though he directed
that his son Henry should receive
$50, 900 worth of property, and his Sec
ond son q small monthly allowance,
whilc the remainder should be divided
between his youngest son and Muhliko ;
the latter thus receiving about $500, 900.
Henry claims that his father was COM
pletely under Muhlike's influence, and
appeals against such n division of the
property. The two younger sons and
Muhliko defend the case.
