CHEAP PAssAGE.-Speakiug Of cheap
passage on the Overland railroad, the
Bee says: "It is settled, we believe,
that emigrant trains will be placed on
the road daily, scmi-weekly or weekly,
rs the demand may appear, and they
will be brought at much cheaper rates
than ever were heard Of before, save,
perhaps, for a little while when one
steamship company was attempting TO
break down and run Off another. After
this road shall be in operation there
will be no excuse for people remaining
on the other side Of the continent who
arc anxious to come here.

TELEGRAPH LINES IN THE WEsT.-A

TELEGRAPH LINES IN THE WEsr.-A
special to the New York Herald, dated
Chicago, February 18th, says:
"You of the East seem to know but
little of what is going on in opposition
to telegraph lines at the West. Within
three months, three new lines have en-
tered this city and arc doing business.
In December, tho Atlantic and Pacific
office was opened from New York. In
January, the Mississippi Valley Com
pany's line from St. Paul and st. Louis
connected with tho Atlantic AMI Pacific
Company's lines at Chicago. This
month, the Great Western C%ompany's
line from Milwaukee commenced BUSH
ness at tho same Office Mt one-third the
price of tho Western Union tarif-only
20 cents. This last named company
will have 1000 miles added to it in
1869. Work is going ahead now on
several different routes penetrating the
north and southwest from this city.
David Gage is the President OF the COM
pany. He always means business, and
nothing stops any enterprise no is en-
gagged in"

How TO SILT RocKs.-An ngricul-
,ural exchange gives the following plan
for splitting large bouldcrS, so that
they may be removed from tho field.
Drill a hole in the rock at the proper
point, then fit into the lower portion Of
the cavity q cylindrical ingot of lead of
corresponding diameter. Then drive a
mandrel down upon tho lead by repeat
ed blows of trip-hammcr. The lead
will be expanded laterally, and being
i~nelastic, the pressure will accumulate
and something must break. The man
drsl won't, the lead can't, so tho rock is
bound to burst. This plan, the writer
says, is attended with mono Of the
danger of blasting.

SILVER PRoDUcT OF NEVADA. The
lining and Scientific Press Of San Fran
cisco, of the 9th instant, contains some
interesting statistics of the product Of
silver in this State. 1t says the great
Comstock produced, up to April lst,
1866, S5l, $50, $50; and since then an
average annually of $ll, 900 900, or n
total of S85, 900, 900. OF this amount
the Gould & Curry, from 1860 to 1866,
yielded Sl3,626,s7l, from $50 $40 tons
of orc, or an average Of $50 O2 to the
ton, tho content afterwards falling off to
SIS IA. The Savage yielded in seven
years preceding ] uly, 1868, Sll, 1921, 700,
from 270,52l tons Of ore, or ut the rate
of SAL to the ton. The statistics Of the
Press do not include tho product Of
Esmcraida, Nye, or Humboldt. OF this
county it says : "From Lander (includ.
ing White Pine District) II three months
return ending December 81, 1868,
shows that 40 mines produced 2,493
tons of ore, yielding $780, 54 45, or an
average Of S349 20 to the ton" We
believe this is slightly inaccurate. Our
statement of the product ofbullion in this
county (including the district of White
Pino) for the quarter specified, gave the
number of tons ore reduced as 2,GS7,
which yielded S937,9O 0 ca in currency,
or au average Of S34s SO per ton.
| This number Of IONS was produced by
l26 mines situated in several districts
in the county, but chiefly in White
| Pine and this district of Reese River.
| We cannot ct this time give the exact
product of silver of this district, but
we believe it will not be ovcrstated at
81, 900, 900 from tho middle Of 1863 to
| tho close of lSG8.-Rccse River Rcpciilc.

Out of the heavens the sunlight rolled,
Tho green leaves rustled above my head
And the sea was q sea OF gold.
Tho world is cruel, I said again,
Her voice 10 harsh to my shrinking car
And the nights are dreary and full OF pam
Out Of the darkness, sweet and clear,
There rippled q tender strain.
Ripplcd the ong Of q bird asleep.
That sang in a dream Of the budding wood
OF shining fields where the rcapcrs reap,
or a wee brown mate and q nesting brood
And the grass whore tho berries peep.
The world is false, though the world be fair
And never q heart is pure I said.
And 10! the clipging Of white arms bare,
The innocent gold Of my baby's head,
And the lisp OF a childish prayer.

A CAMEL BABY.-The velocipede is
thrown far into the shade at San Fran
cisco by the birth of a young camel.
All of our exchanges from the Bay City
are enthusiastic on this baby camel sub.
ject. They are just humping themselves
on this little hump-backed subject. The
Chronicle gives the shortest account of
all in relation to it. Hero it is:
"Among tho countless curiosities that
have given prestige to Woodward's
Gardens, none has evor created such Il
commotion in gaining admission as q
healthy young camel that first saw light
there on the 9th Of March. Had tho
animal arrived one day DON and been
Of the proper gender, it would have
been i%naugurated and christened Gene
raj Grant. As it is, however, tho crea-
turo will DO tho most conspicuous Mt.
traction ut that delightful resort. The
Tines reporter is laboring under the
idea that this is the only 'animnl Of tho
| kind ever born on this continent and
| that this is q male 1t is not n very
material matter, but camels have been
born here, and this mi is a female.
| There is little room for doubt ms to
paternity : as q general thing camels are
not Undergraduates, and have never
been known to copulatc with other spe'
ciss. And from the fact that this one is
a mongrel, and has Il regular 'Grecian
bend to his back, and double-humped
at that, those who takc the trouble to
investigate tho origin and history of tho
camel family can readily discern to
what class tho new conner belongs. The
Bactrian camels wero originally found
in Bactria, and from there spread over
Persia and Tartary to China. They
double on the hump question, while
tho Arabian camel, enormously styled
dromedary, only has a moderate hump
to his back.
