THE LATEST NEWS.

i From the Gold Hill News Of yesterday
| SAN Francisco, November IL. =
Weather cloudy, but no rain has fallen
to-day.
The Genessee FIGURING Mill, on Gold
street, owned by Edward Kennedy
which was burned down about a year
ago, is again in running order. This
mill has been three times totally des-
troyed by FIRE.
SACRAMENTO, November II. - Not
withstanding the storm which prevailed,
the Congregational Church was yester-
day afternoon well filled with people,
met to attend the funeral of the late
Henry c. McCreary.
The track of the Sacramento Valley
Railroad, between this city and the
junction with the Western Pacific Rail-
road, at Brighton, will shortly be re.
laid. To this end new ties are being
distributed along the line of the road
1t is probable that while the work is
being done trains will come into the
city by way of the north levee.
The Western Pacific afternoon trains
appear to be out of luck. Something
has happened to detain them every day
this week. Yesterdays train was two
hours late in reaching the city, owing
to the breaking of spring under the
engine.
A. n. Towne, Superintendent of the
Central Pacific Railroad, who went
few days ago to meet his
family, who were en- route for this city,

The Stone Giant.

The latest accounts from this wonder
full relic indicate that his giantship laid
himself down on his gravel bed with his
pockets full of specie. At least such
is the natural inference to be drawn
from the following additional discovery
related by the Syracuse Journal:
On Saturday last Matthew, son of DR..
Alexander Henderson, veterinary sur
geon, Of this city, while visiting the
Cardiff giant, picked up from the sur.
rounding debris thrown out of the ex-
cayated resting place of this huge work
of stone, something that seemed like a
blackened scale of brass or q rusty but
ton. Thinking that it might possibly
have some affinity to the wonderful
statue the lad rubbed the dirt and rust
from its surface between his finger and
thumb, and FURNISHED it little by rub
bling it in the folds of his coat skirts, it
showed evidence of being an old copper
coin, and be accordingly placed it care
fully in his pocket and brought it
home. DR.. Henderson, the lads father,
applied some acids to it, when an an
cient coin, of nearly the eleventh CEN
tury, revealed itself.
On the diverse side of the coin is the
head Of the Emperor Iestyn, with full
flowing beard from the chin, and the
sacred heart strung from a rosary in the
shape of shield or breast plate strung
around the neck. Beneath the Emperor
is the date, "1o9l." Around the edge
of the coin is the following inscription:
"Ies,yn-Ap Gwrgant, Tywysog-Mor-
ganwg." The Interpretation of this,
as rendered by competent Welshman,
means "Iestyn, son of Gwrgaut, Prince
Of Glanmorgan." On the reverse side
is the figure of the Goddess of Com
merce, seated on the wheel at her side,
the pillar and ancient crown wreathed
with the national emblem, the oak, the
shield and spear, supported by the left
hand, and the right pointing to ship
on the distant sea, with full sales set,
which he seems intently gazing at.
The inscription around the circle is in
the Welsh language.

"MusIcAL GYMNASTICS" is a. term
not unfrequently used in fgurative
sense, but it is an accomplished fact in
a London music hall. One Mr.. Forest
and his sons performed on tight rope
while playing ton violins, and they
wound up by series of somersaults,
each playing a fiddle without missing a
note during his performance. The spec
tacle of an orchestra performing a
symphony by Beethoven, keeping time
with the conductors baton in = series
of jumps and somersaults. would be
sure to attract q great crowd.

MEXICAN BoNDs.-The Philadelphia
Press of the 4th inst, publishes the fol
lowing from its Washington cores.
pendent:
A lobby interest is being developed
here to induce the Government TO use
its influence, if nothing more, to COM
pei the Mexican Government to give
preference TO the bonds negotiated by it
in this country during the war against
Macmillan. With this object in view
the matter will be brought to the atten-
ton of the Mexican Claims Commission,
and an attempt will be made to include
the bonds among the claims of Ameri-
cans against Mexico.
This is little blind; but we infer
that the bonds in question have refer
ence to such as were issued by the
Juarez government during the days of
:. The Empire" Such obligations
would seem, rightly to be counted
among "bills payable ~ but if there
are any holders of Maximilian's bonds
who expect this government to take any
action looking to their payment, there
are parties among Us who are quite as
much afflicted with the absurd vagaries
of self deceived spectators as the Eng
lish holders of Confederate bonds-who
are sustained by the feeble hallucination
that, one day, Uncle Sam will assume
the Rebel Debt.
