's'Ese Monster blast i'm San Fran.
cisco EHarbOr.

The harbor OF SAL Francisco was re.
Gently the scene of a monster blast, by
which the obstruction known as "Blos-
som Rock was pretty effectually re-
moved out of the way. This rock was
mass of rather soft sandstone, about
one hundred and eighty feet long, ninety
feet wide, with abrupt sides and COM
paratively smooth surface. 1t lay near
the channel, and large number of ves-
sells have been wrecked on it, notwith-
standing its exact location was known
and marked with buoy. At intervals
during the past twelve or fifteen years,
efforts have been made by government
engineers to either remove the rock or
reduce its size, so as to allow ships to
pass over it; but every attempt ended
in failure.
About year ago, Col. A. W. Won
Schmidt was awarded the contract for
removal of this dangerous obstruction to
the navigation of the harbor A Golfer
dam was ingeniously constructed on the
surface of the rock, and within this shell
ter shaft was sunk to the depth of IL
feet, and from the bottom tunnels were
run in every direction. The loose rock,
as it was cut out, was hoisted up and, by
means Of an immense crane, swung off
into deep water. The excavation, when
compleked, resembled an immense bake
oven It's dimensions were as follows {:
Extreme length, 1872 feet width, sixty
feet ; height at the shaft, - feet; the
lowest point, feet; the thickness of the
crust or shell, about 10 feet 6 inches, as
near as could be estimated.
Into this chamber twenty-three tons of
California blasting powder were packed
in barrels, and connected by wires with
a battery placed on scow one thousand
yards distant from the rock. Saturday,
the 23d of April, was fixed as the day
for the blast; and for days previous it
was the sole theme of conversation in
San Francisco. All manner of coniec-
lures were indulged in. Some people
thought it would shake the city like an
earthquake others that every vessel in
the bay would suffer more or less damage
and that not fish within a radius Of
FIVE miles would be alive after the ex-
plosion. When the day arrived, every
wharf whence the rock could be seen
was covered with spectators. The sur
face of the bay was dotted with steamers
and boats of every description. Every
roof commanding a view of the harbor
was crowded. Probably fifty thousand
people were gathered to witness.
Precisely at two o'clock the blast was
ignited, and magnificent spectacle re-
warded the patience of the watchers. A
single jet of water, probably twenty feet
I'm diameter, was thrown into the air to
the height of nearly 800 feet, while an
immense mass, fully $50 feet in length,
at first white with foam, and then cream
colored as the spray died out, showing
the water discolored with the mud and
rock, was lifted to an elevation perhaps
hundred feet less. High above the
water could be discovered, flying through
the air, pieces of timber and rock, some
Of which were thrown distance of a
thousand yards. A few seconds later a
second explosion took place, and then the
agitated waters settled quietly over the
spot aad the grand spectacle was ended.

Says the Gulf States: Beyond
question, the true policy Of the South
is--frst, to raise an abundant supply Of
Of corn, peas, beans, potatoes, both
sweet and Irish rye, rice, penuts, hay and
vegetables Of all kinds, and fruits, large
and small sugar cane or sorgum, ac-
cording to latitude, should also be
raised sufficiently for home consump-
ton. With bountifnl supply of all
these, pork bacon and lard, beef, milk
and butter, poultry and eggs spring into
existence around the home Of the pru
dent husbandman, almost as naturally
and inevitably as light follows the rising
Of the sun.
With these wants provided for, the
surplus Of capital, lands and labor
should be pressed into the service Of
cotton growing, with all the energy, In
dustry and skill that can be brought to
bear. Such policy will insure an in

ROWdyism.

We regret to see the spirit of lawless-
ness and rowdyism exhibited by some
people who are occasionally visitors to
our town; and worst of all, it is fire.
quent1y young men who exhibit this
split. Without any unkind feelings to-
wards any one, we say to our young men
that the most contemplate of all charac-
ters is street bully; and the saddest
sight upon which the eye ever rested is
young man, who might be of benefit
to his family and country, under the in
huence of liquor. To this class we say
in all candor that there is in the future
nothing of promise to them except a
felon's cell or a life of misery. Drink
and be brute, and the world considers
you as one. Fight and swear on the
street, and nobody believes you have
any courage. Nay, when the pestilence
| comes, and when the air is full of dis
ease and death, or when the bullets fly
thickest in battle, and the time actually
comes to try mems souls, the street bully
is first to fee with craven heart and
trembling limbs. Shakespeare beauti-
fully says: 'Iu peace there's nothing SO
| becomes man as modest stiffness and
humility" The quiet unassuming man
is the one who will always be found
foremost in every good word and work,
and foremost in the opinions of his fel-
low man; while the brawler and the
'bully," the loud swealer and fighting
man" will always be found behind in
character, in morals, in honor and every
thing that makes true manhood. Then,
In Gods name, let the young men in
some localities lay aside six-shooters
and let alone whisky, which only de.
grades them and renders them fit only
for the interior Of the cold walls of a
prison. Our men, as a general thing
have high spirits and noble natures,
| which might be turned to good account
in lifs's great battle: but unless they
utterly and entirely ignore whisky.
drinking and rowdyism generally, all
their prospects will be like the apples
of Sodom, dust and ashes to themselves
to their kindred and their country. II
| the meantime we ask our older citizens
fathers and those who have the foresight
and experience to know the importance
Of good and true men in community
to use their efforts and influence to checl
this deplorable tendency to dissipation
and roWdyism in many young men 0

STRANGE CHARACTER.
Al Mam with a Mania for Seeing

louisville Courier-Journal, May 1871
A man who gave his name as
Charles Watkins, and who turns out to
ha has. Livingstone, once respectable
merchant in this city. was arrested while
trying to enter the house Of Mr.. Schaef-
fer, on Portland avenue, before daylight
yesterday morning. This man has a
strange mania for which name is yet
to be invented. He will break into a
house at night just for the luxury Of
standing by the bedside of a person and
looking at him or her, as the case may
be. as they lay asleep. He has been
known to do this ON SEVERAL occasions,
and, after standing there and gazing for
hours, leave without disturbing any
thing, and close the doors carefully af-
ter him.
About six months ago he got himself
into serious trouble in this way, being
arrested as burglar and held TO an
swer. He entered the room of young
lady after she had retired and gone to
sleep. Taking his favorite position be-
side the bed. he stood gazing at the
beautiful sleeper I'LL, perhaps concious

was frightened terribly. By the faint
