MEAN AND MALICIOUS MIscHIEF.-On
Friday night some person or persons un-

filled the cylinders of the engine with nitric
acid, thus doing almost irreparat lie injury
thereto and temporarily destroying the pump
ing apparatus. This was discovered yes,er-
day, and Foreman Lewis and others of the
company Immediately set at work to repair
the damage as far as possible. This is the
second or third time this engine has been
tempered with /; and we hope that immedi-
ate steps may be taken to ferret on. the per-
petrators. 1t is possible that the acid wal
obtained Of some druggist here OIL in Virginia
or Gold Hill, and if it should be proven that
parties who are depraved enough to do such

WHAT Our ALKALI MADE o..

WnAr Our ALKALI Is MADE OF.-The
Sacramento Record tells the following :
We are indebted to our towrsman Peter
Zacharias for the following analysis Of the
alkali soil of the Great Desert crossed by the
Central Pacific Railroad. This alkali soil
was sent by Mr.. Zacharias from this city after
his recent return from Scotland. He gath
cred il on the Great Desert as he came across
on the railroad, surprising that it contained
salt-petre but it will be seen by the following
analysis of distinguished lecturer on chem
istry III Scotland that it contains no salt
petre and is therefore non-eXplosive. The
letter is dated at Laboratory Hall, Edinburgh,
June Z, 1870, the writer, Professor Stevenson
Macadam, SAYS after a careful analysis of the
alkali ground furnished, he finds tie COM
ponent parts to be as follows: Soluble in
water-principally chloride Of sodium, (com-
mon salt,) sulphate of soda with traces Of
potash and magnetism satisfy 81. Soluble
IN acid-principally carbonate oflime (chalk)
and carbonate Of magnesia, with phospha,es
of and oxide of iron-l423; insouable mat
ter, sand and clay-l7.95. Says the Pre- TESS
or: "This alkali possesses the composition
which would indicate that it was the dried
up residue of an inland lake" Professor
Macadam signs himself as "P. II. d.. F. r.
r. E. F. C. s., Lecturer on Chemistry, etc,
To those who are scientifically inclined the
above may prove of interest, not only to those
who live in the sage brush country but to
those who reside in the valley of the Sacra-
mento. As We have plenty OF alkali in our
section of the State, which, ifneutralized in
the soil, would add much to the successful
raising Of fruits and vegetables in our valleys.
