In THE LOCK uP.-In our wauderlngs
about the city yesterday, In search OF
news, we stepped into the police court
rnom to see II anything had TRANSFERRED
In that region since the morning SEES
sion Of that tribunal. Like nearly all
the other places we had visited, It was
an utter blank so far as items were con.
cernel. We heard q noise, however,
In the room adjoining, and following in
the direction whence 1t came, discover.
ed two victims OF benzlne occupying
separate apartments In the lock. up.
Neither OF them knew what they had
been imprisoned for. One said he had
come up town to purchase q pair Of
shoes, and that was the last thing he
remembered until he found himself in
durance vile;-the other, 10 darkey, }
ayerred that he had met friend
whom he had not seen for years, and
that they took about four drinks OF
whisky together. BE, too. was oblIv-
ious 10 all earthly affairs from that
period until he discovered himself
looking through the bars. We shall
probably h earmore about these parties
this morning at Judge Goods leYee.

Benwood, referees. When about three.
fourthB OF the course had been rowed
over, Kennedy was 90 far ahead that
Low gave up the race. Consequently
Kennedy came In alone, with an easy
won victory, and rowed around the
refsreeP, amid the loud huzzas Of his
friends on shore. We hear that the
race was for a purse OF seventy five
dollars, but that quite large amount
Of money changed hands on the result.

The Dead Sea Of California.
BY MARK TWAIN.

Mono Lake, or the Dead Sea of Califor.
MIA, is one of her most extraordinary curl.
osities, but being situated in very QUITO
the-way corner of the country, and away up
among the eternal SHOWS of the Sierras, il
is little known and very seldom visited
A mining excitement carried me there
once, and spent several months in its vi,
entity. 1t lies in lifeless, hideous desert
5000 feet above the level of the sea, and is
guarded by mountains 1000 feet higher
whose SUBMITS are hidden always in the
clouds. This solemn, silent, sailless sea-
this loneliest spot on earth-is little graced
with the picturesque. 1t is an unpretend.
ing expanse of grayish water, about hun
dred miles in circumference, with two
islands in its centre, mere upheavals of rent
and scorched and blistered lava showed
over with gray banks and drifts of pumice
stone and ashes the winding sheet of the
dead volcano, whose vast crater the lake
has seized upon and occupied.
The lake is 200 feet deep, and its slug
gish waters are so strong with alkali that
ifyou only dip the most hopelessly soiled
garment into them once or twice, and wiring
it out, it will be found as clean as if it had
been through your ablest washerwoman's
hands. While we camped there our laun.
dry work was easy We tied the weeks
washing stern of our boat and sailed a
quarter of a mile, and the job was complete
all to the wringing out. If we threw the
water on our heads and gave them rub OF
so, the white lather would pile up three in
.ches high. This water is not good for
