Meerschaun,.

Our general knowledge of this curl.
Gus mineral is generally confined 10 the
specimens employed for the manufac.
ture OF pipes but it is known to chenis-
try as an hydrated silicate Of magnesia,
OF the lightness. porosity, and friability
of this familiar substance there is
scarcely any need to speak. 1t has been
found in Spain, Hungary, and in Asia
Minor, but recently large quantities
have been found in Patagonia. This
discovery will probably reduce the price
ofmeerschaum, as the supply has hither.
TO been limited. The manufacture of
meerschaum articles has been for MANY
years carried on in Europe, chiefly AT
Vienna; and Partisan workmen have
recently produced some excellent speci.

Lieutenant Lnf.

All you that are too fond of wine,
Or any other such stuff
Take warning by the dismal fate
OF one Lieutenant Lutf
sober man he might have been.
Except in one regard.
He did not like sOft water, sir.
So he took 20 drinking hard.
Said he. LET others fancy slops.
And talk i'm praise OF tea.
But l am no Bohemian,
20 / do not like BOheI.
If wines a poison, so l. tea,
Though in another shape;
What matter whether one is killed
By canister or grape.
According 10 this kind Of state
Did he indulge his drouth.
And being fond OF port. he made
pOrt-hOie Of his mouth.
A single pint he might have sippd,
And not been out of sorts.
In geologic phrase. the rock
lie split upon was quarts.
Full soon the sad effects Of this
His frame began 20 show,
For that old enemy the govt,
Had taken him in toe,
And Joined with this an evil came
Of quite another sort.
For while he drank himself. his purse
Was getting something short.
For want Of c1sh he soon had popp'd
One-half that he possessed,
And drinking showed him duplicates
Beforehand of the rest.
So then his creditors resolv'd
To seize or his assets,
For why? They found that his hoLf-p1v
Did not half pap his debts.
But Luff contrivei a novel mode
His creditors 10 chouSe,
For his own execution he
Put into his own house,
A pistol Il the muzzle chared
Ils took devoid Of fear,
Said he, This barrel is my last.
So now for my last bier"
Against his lungs he aimed the slugs.
And not against his brain.
so he blew out his lights, and mono
Could blow them in again.
A jury for verdict met,
And gave il in these terms.
. We find "a how as certain Sings
Has sent him 10 the lCOrmS."

What could be done? lie was reported dead.
On his return
He strove in vain some tdings of his absent wife
TO learn.
Twas well that he was innocent Else I'd have
killed him too,
So dead he never would have riz till Gabriel's
trumpet blew!
II was agreed that Mary then between us should
decide,
and each 6y her decision would sacredly abide.
No sinner az the judgment seat, waiting eternal
doom,
Could suffer what l did while waiting sentence
in that room.
Rigid and breathless there we stood, with nerves
81 tense as steel.
While Mays eyes sought each white face, in
piteOus appeal.
Godl Could not women's duty be less hardly
recOnciled
Between. her lawful husband and the father Of
her child.
All, how my heart was chilled to ice when she
knelt down and said
Forgive me, John =, lie is my husbandi Here
raised her tenderly and tried to tell her she
was right,
But somehow in my aching breast the prisoned
words stuck ughtl

Swine In the Barn Yard.

The plan of allowing pigs to run in q

into manure, answers better for young

The California Earthquake.

SAN FRANCIsco, March 2S.-A dispatch from
Genoa Nevada, says a gentleman from Inyo
county, California, where the earthquake, Tues
day morning, entered reports Camp Indepen-
dence complete ruin. The court house was de
stroyed, and not a single abode or brick build
ing left standing from Bishop Creek to Indepen-
dence. Fears are entertained for the other min
ing camps further south on the Sierras, and Mrs.
West, residing near Independence was seriously
injured and her child killed.
Stage passengers report several assures miles
in length, and from fifty to two hundred feet
wide, and twenty feet deep, opened along the
eastern ridge Of the Sierras, neari Big Pine
Camp. At other places in the vicinity the
ground heayed up in great ridges. Large
springs stopped running, and Others have
broken out Heavy snow slides occurred in the
Sierras, and large rocks rolled down the noun
tain sides, blocking up the stage roads. The
shocks lasted at intervals from 20 to 80 A. NJ
At Aurora, Nevada no damage was done; and
at Belmont, Nevada, only mill machine was
thrown down. That section abounds in evil
dences Of recent volcanic action, but no such
earthquake ever before visited this place within

The shock was probably the heaviest to the
southwest, toward Arizona, in the desert coun-
try, which has hardly any population.

ion as to the course TO be pursued in the present
emergency Messrs. Casserly, Frank Blair,
Stockton, Bayard and Others discussed the ex-
pediency of holding democratic national CON
ventiOn. No action was taken, as the meeting
was informal.

posed to calling national convention or indi-
eating any positive policy until after the action

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S
RAILROAD QUARREL IN THE HOUSE.
The quarrel between Tom Scott and Garrett,
the railroad kings, was resumed in the house
to-day, and was kept up till the steamboat bill
was taken up. 1t had the right to be heard TO
the exclusion OF all other business.
Mr.. Starkweather, who has charge of the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad depot bill,
offered the minority a square vote on their
amendment allowing the Baltimore and Ohio
road the privileges they ask, and he also offer
ed to allow the friends of the public park
which ii is claimed will be destroyed if the bill
paSses-a vote on their amendments: but this
would not satisfy the minority, and it is un-
derstood that on Monday next the fight will be
renewed on motion to suspend the rules by
two-thirds vote, and pass the bill.
Mr.. Kerr of Indiana made some severe and
supplementary remarks in regard to Mr..
Starkweather; but they were unjust, and so the
house almost unanimously regarded them. AS
the issue now stands it is between a large ma
jority of the house on one side and very small
minority on the other, representing for the most
part the Baltimore and Ohio road.
Among the witnesses summoned to give evil
dence upon the French arms committee, are
Gen. ingalls,, of New York, and Gen. William
B. Franklin, of Hartford. The examination
of witnesses will occupy all of next week.
PASSAGE OF THE CHICAGO BILL
The house passed the Chicago relief bill with
out opposition, by striking "lumber" out of it.
An arrangement was made between prominent
lumbermen here and persons representing the
interests OF Chicago, by which the people of
that city can buy lumber as cheaply as they can
get it from abroad, with the duty off.
THE FREE LIST, AND REDUCTION ALL ROUND"
The ways and means committee made consid-
cradle additions to the free list to-day. The
items were mostly drugs and medicines. The
opinion is gathering might that the house will
not go very far into a general tariff debate, but
will follow the example of the senate and make
up a large free list, and perhaps a ten per cent.
reduction all round, and then agree to adjourn
by the list of June. SAM WELLER.

depot of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad.
An hour nearly was spent in an effort to effect u
compromise, but it was utterly useless. Mr.
Starkweather, for the sake of the public business
agreed to admit two amendments, but the mt
nority refused to accept the compromise, and
then the tiibustering again commenced.
Mr. Dawes, from the committee on ways and
means, reported back the Chicago relief bill
and minated that he would allow an amend
ment to be offered excepting lumber from Its
operations.
Mr.. Farwell offered that amendment.
Mr.. Garfield inquired whether the interests OF
the government were sufficiently protected
against fraud.
Mr.. Dawes said the bill followed the language
Of the Portland bill, and the committee had been
informed by the secretary of the treasury that
no frauds under that bill were reported - the
government. The construction given TO that
bill was that it applied TO no materials except
those which entered into the construction OF
building. The same construction would doubt
less be given TO this bill.
Mr. Conger said that after consultation between
the friends and opponents of the bill, it had been
understood that the exception of lumber from
its provisions would be entirely satisfactory.
Mr. Finkelnburg suggested that he meant the
lumber interests of Michigan and Wisconsin.
Having been saved, they were willing all other
interests should be sacrificed.
Mr. Farwell'S amendment was agreed to with
out division, and the senate amendment, as
thus modified, was concurred in.
The concurrence of the senate in that modii-
cation is all that is now necessary before the bill
will be sent TO the president for approval.
AT two O'Clock, the bill reported last week
from the committee on commerce TO amend the
act of the 21st of February, 1871, for the better
security of life on board vessels propelled in
whole or part by steam, came up as the special
order from day to day until disposed of.
The bill contains II sections, and covers 50
printed pages.
Pending its consideration, Mr. Dawes present
ed conference report on the bill providing for
contingencies in transportation of goods in bond
across the country. The committee recommends
an additional provision in cases of blockade by
ice, and allowing the transfer of goods from one
vessel to another. Report agreed to.
The consideration of the steamboat bill was
then resumed, and considerable progress was
made thereon.
committee of conference was appointed on
the st. CroiX and Lake Superior railroad land
grant bill.
Adjourned till Monday.
