A Natural Spring Of Ink.

The Calilornians, who very justly
boast of the superior resources of their
State, are now priding themselves on a
natural fountain of indelible ink. The
hot spring from which this lux arises,
has received the very lively name of the
Devils Punch. Bowl" although we
have no reason for believing that his
Satanic majesty, or his followers, in.
dulge in ink us a beverage. The
real devils punch bowl generally con.
tains an alchoholic mixture. But what.
ever il may be called, this spring issues
from an opening in the ground about
seven feet in diameter, aud the black
and thick fluid boils up some three feet
above the surface. The iuk is hot when
it first spouts from the earth, being OF
a temperature Of 1875 degs Fahrenheit.
The people of the vicinity use it as lux
aud it is conf iently asserted that its
marks, either Upon cloth or paper, are
perfectly indelible. If the mauufactu-
rers Of indeliblc ink from nitrate Of sill
yer, etc, desire continuance Of their
incomes, they should buy up aud sup
press that natural ink fountain.

Wostefn Au. haiifoau ana Goal xra10.
To report Of the Chief Eugiuesr Of
the Western Maryland Railroad, made
a few weeks since, the prospect Of coal
business for the road, and the estimated
cost of transhipmsnt and transportation,
are infinitely discussed, By q proper
Arrangement Of wharves and tracks at
Williumsport, il Is found that 9, 200 tons
Of coal can be transferred daily from tho
wharves to the railroad, it there be pro
vided a supply of rolling stock sufficient
for the purpose. As far as the canal is
concerned, there are already sixty boats,
owned or controlled by the people Of
Williansport, available for the coal bu-
siness. Thess boats have sn average
capacity Of ode hundred aod ten tons.
Each boat eau make two trips week
between Cumberland and Williamsport,
and, at the very low estimate Of sixty.
six trips during the season Of naviga-
tion, is capable Of transporting 1890
tons coal per annum, making for the
business Of sixty boats yearly tonnage
Of ABS 800 tons. This estimate Is con
sidered as far within the limits Of tho
actual capacity of the barges which eau
be used for coal transportation, imme-
diately on the completion of tho canal,
and it is quite safe to say that as soon
as the necessary tracks are laid down,
aud the whuryes prepared at Williams
port, suppl, f500,0 tons annually
can be furnished for the new road.
The great dificalty to be met with is
the transhipment Of coal at Cumberland
and Williamsport. This can readily be
effected by the use Of derr;cIs and
drums, worked By horse or steam power,
as at Georgetown, and coal can be trans
ferred as rapidly almost as it is received,
at cost not exceeding FIVE cents and
three-quartors per ton. In all proba-
bility, however. the present system will
be improved upon, and arrangements
will be made by which large loaded coal
hoppers will be transferred directly from
rail to barge, aud back again from barge
to rail, more expeditiously and at still
cheaper rate.
The estimated cost for transportation
Of coal over the new route from Cum
berland to Baltimore will be as follows:

THE WINDS.

Oh. the winds, the whispering winds,
Whispering up in the poplar limbsj
Twisting and twirling among the leaves,
Frisking among the golden sheaves,
Breathing of love to thousand flowers;
Bearing perfume through thousand bowers;
Singing over the rainbOw's rims
Whispering, quivering, musical winds.
Laughing winds in dancing glec,
Over the waters, wild and free,
Up the mountains craggy steep,
Over the praries grassy sweep
Bearing the thrill of a thousand wings,
Circling round in thousand rings;
Glansing light from myriad stars;
Glinting light through the prisons bars.
Shlmmering sunshine in palace halls
Dancing in magic over the walls,
Singing over the funeral pile
MOcking at sadness in frantic style.
Laughing through forsaken halls;
shaking the creepers on the walls,
Chasing round the hallowed shrine,
Careless quite of space or time;
Ringing like notes from a thousand strings,
Restless, changing, musical winds.
