FROM SACRAMENTO.

Fastest limo Yet-Itelic Hunters nbout
the Wrecked CRrs-The Accident at
san Leandro Stati0n-Tulcs still Burn
Ing.
SACRAMENTO, November 23.-The fastest
time was made between this city and San
Francisco, by the Vallejo route, on Sunday
afternoon, that has yet been noted, the cars
running from Sacramento to Vallejo in two
hodrs, and the steamer New World taking
the passengers thence to San Francisco in
one hour and twenty-seven minutes. The
tota! time thus being three hours and
twenty-seycn minutes.
The wrecked locomotives and cars that ar
rived from the lower end Of the Western Pa.
cifc Railroad, Sunday night, were yesterday
visited by large numbers Of people, many Of
whom secured small pieces Of wood, iron.
etc.. as mementos. The workmen operated
cars that by night they were about separated
from each other. In a few days all traces OF
the accident will be obliterated, except rs re-
CARDS the locomotives, which will take some
time to rebuild.
The Western Pacific express train which
should have arrived here at half.past | o'clock
yesterday afternoon did not get in till s o'clock,
owing to an accident which occurred to it
at San Leandro. 1t is said that the switch
was not correctly set for the train. Tho
locomotive, nevertheless, passed to the main
track, while the cars ran upon another and
caused the engine to capsizc into the ditch,
where it now lies upon its side. The express
car was somewhat smashed, but The other
cars Of the train came through to the city
all right. drawn BY the locomotive Gray Fox,
after a detention Of about six hours and 4
half, which time was occupied in the con-
struction Of a track around the ditched
locomotive. II is reported that tho fireman
Of this engine, c. House. had one Of his
elbows dislocated, but no one else was hurt.
Another version Of the matter is that the
rails near the switch had been hammered
down by the car wheels so that the latter
could not hold. The switch was all right,
and il there had been 4 close and frequent
inspection Of the rails, as there should be at
all exposed places, new ones would have
been substituted and the accident prevented.
The tules south Of Washington were still
burning yesterday, filling the air with clouds
of smoke.

GROWING OLp.-Half Of our life is
spent in vain regrets. Whom we arc
bows We ardcItly wish to be men when
men wish as ardently to be boys. We
sing sad songs Of the lapse of time.
We talk Of aud lang syne," Of the
days when we were young, of gathering
she'll, on the sea shore, and throwing
them carelessly away. We never cease
to be sentimental with past youth, and
the lost manhood and beauty. Yet
there are no regrets SO false, and few
half so silly. Perhaps the seddest sight
in the world is to sec mn old lady, with
cred aud wrinkled, dressing, talking and
acting like a young one, and forgetting
all the time, as she clings to the feeble
remnant Of the past, that there is no
sham so transparent as her own, and
that people, instead Of feeling with her,
are laughing Mt her. Old boys disguise
their foibles q little better but they are
equally ridiculous. The feeble protests
which they make against the fyiag
chariot Of Time are equally futile. The
great Mower enters the field, and all
must come down. To stay him would
be impossible. We might as we'll try
with a finger to stop lxion's wheel, or
to dam up the current Of q river with q
child's foot.

CoRSs CuRED.-Hall's Journal Of
Health gives this mode "Ths safest,
most accessible and the most efficient
euro for . corn on the toe is to double
a piece of thick, soft buckskin, cut a
hole in i. largo enough to receive the
corn, aud bind it round the toe. If, in
addition to this, the foot is soaked in
warm water for Eve Or more minutes
every morning and night, and a few
drops Of sweet oil, or other oily sub.
stance, are patiently rubbed in after the
soaking, the corn will almost infallibly
become so loose in a few days rs to be
easily pricked out with q finger nail ;
this saves the necessity of pairing the
corn, which operation has sometimes
been followed BY dangerous symptoms.

CuRIosIrIRs OF EARTu.-At the city Of
Medina, in I,aly, aud about four miles
around it, wherever the earth
is, dug, when the workmen arrive
at n distance of sixty-thrce feet, they
come to a bed Of chalk, which they
bore with IN anger FIVE feet deep. They
then withdraw from tho pit, before the
auger is removed, and upon its extrac-
ton the water bursts up through the
aperture with great violence, and quick
ly fills the newly made we'll, which con-
tinues full and is affected by neither
rains nor drouths. But what is the most
remarkable in this operation is the
layers Of earth as we descend. At the
depth of fourteen.fsAA are found the
ruins of an ancient cHy, paved streets,
houses, floors, and different pieces OF
mason work. Under this i, found a soft
oozy earth, made up Of vegetables, and
at twenty-six feet large trees entire, such
as walnut trees, with the walnuts still
stuck to the stem, and the leaves
and the branches in a perfect state Of
preservation. At t~wenty.eight feet deep
a soft chalk is found, mixed with q vast
quantity Of shells, and the bed is eleven
feet thick. Under this vegetables are
found again.

TOBACCO AS AN OFFENSIVE
WEAPON.

A novel appeal to the patriotism Of
Irishnen in the British Dominions has
been made by the Central Fenian AM
nssty Committee, it being no less than
a request for the Milesians to abstain
from the use Of tobacco until the Fenian
prisoners are released. The aim Of
this demand is two-fold; first, to make
serious inroads on the British revenue,
which is largely suelled by the imposts
on tobacco consumed in Irslandi sec
ond, to provide . to keep up the
amnesty agitation. We take it, there
fore, that the pence, shillings and
pounds heretofore invested in plug,
ine-cut and twist are to be hereafter
deposited in the hands of the Treasurer
Of the Amnesty Association.
If this appeal meets with anything
like a general response, Premier Glad
stone will find himself in a p~erplexing
and ludicrous dilemma. His refusal
to libsrate the Feuians will, contrary to
all expectations, cut down the British
revenue, aud, at the same time, put
large sums Of money in the Golfers of
his adversaries. 1t will be interesting
to see how he proposes to overcome the
singular obstacle raised in his path
but before he takes any measures to
surmount it no will probably wait and
see whether Irishmen will really deny
themselves the solace Of tobacco until
the close Of the current fiscal year.
But it is not alone the Premier Of
Great Britain that will be perplsxed by
these nicotiau tactics. To Irish patriots
the appeal of tho Central Committee
must have a binding force. The pipe
dear to Milesisn lips will come to be
looked upon as an ally Of England
Tho man who smokes, as well rs lie
who chews or snufs, must DO regarded
as the enemy Of the imprisoned Fenians
as much as Mr.. Gladstone himself. To
liberate their suffering brethren, the
men of Ireland must smash their to-
bscco pipes and forswear chewing.
There is no alternative; the gallant old
battle cry Of victory or death" will,
in the "Grecn I.lc," be changed to
liberty or tobacco
