Want OF Transportation Facilities In
California.

A scarcity of marine tonnage is the
present grievance of California. She
has harvested the greatest crop she
ever raised, but Is compelled to pay
enormous freight-rates to get it to the
eaters mouths. The ship Sacramento
was chartered on the 18th TO take wheat
to Liverpool at "a lis per ton, the
highest price ever paid. The shipping
price of wheat was $1.573 per 100
pounds, which, after being increased
by the freight-rates, will leave pretty
small margin for profit in Liverpool.
This scarcity of freights is not
confined to San Francisco, but
extends to the Atlantic, Asiatic, Euro
pean, Australian, and South American
ports trading with that city. All
over the world there is q great call for
freight room to California. We are
not much versed in Shipping, but can
see no other Interpretation Of this phe-
nomenon, than the growth and ex pan
sion of our Pacific commerce. Our
dispatches, this: morning, show also
that the internal transportation facil.
tiles of California are not adequate to
the moving of the present crops.

Anecdoto Of Daniel Webster.

Here is one of the cold Stager's"
stories in Harper's:
Evening sessions were sometimes
held as the pressure of business be-
came more urgent ; and sometimes dis
order and confusion prevailed, as was
always the case in the House on SINH.
lar occasions. In the Senate, however,
it took the shape Of exuberant festlvity
and fun. Grave and aged Senators be-
came jocose and comical, and some
times the mirth grew fast and furious,
the proceedings more resembling a
town meeting or farce than the Or
derly conduct of a deliberative assem-.
bly,. remember one night in partic-
ular. 1t was near the close of the
session, and the Senate was engaged in
reading of bills, preparatory to their
final passage. Colonel King was in the
chair, solemn and dignified presiding
officer, but with no sense of the ludi
crous, or any idea of a Joke. The Sec-
rotary of the Senate, Asbury Dickens,
was reading bills rapidly by their titles,
and business was going on finely. Half
of the Senators were asleep with their
heads on their desks. The presidin2
officer had formula of words that va
RED: ASeEators in the Affirmative
say aye negative, no. The ayes have
it," Not q voice would be heard, aye
or no, and Dickens went on with his
reading. For nearly an hour nothing
was heard in the chamber but the
monotonous reading of the Secretary,
and the President putting the vote and
announcing the result. At length Mr..
Webster, who had been sound asleep
for long time, lifted up his head, and
gazed about the cham Der with puzzl-
ed look and when Colonel King said,
negative, no." he cried out "No-o-o!"
in prolonged sound, and with sepul-
chraf voice. The President looked
steadily at him, as if doubling the evil
dence Of his own senses, and exclaimed,
.The ayes evidently have it, Let
them take it and go along with it, then, ="
said Mr.. Webster, and dropping his
head upon his desk, was soon fast
asleep again. )

Great Flood at Rio Janeria and Para,

Great Flood at Rio Janeria and Para.
Buenos Ayres advices via Panama
state that the recent floods inundated
q large quantity of territory near Rio
Janerio and Pera. Both cities suffered
severely. At Para the walls of business
houses we're undermined. A large
house tloated away. On the night Of
the 9th of July the whole of Matrez
Chulch fell. The banks of tho
river Ditnia giving way, inundated sixty
houses, and many animals were drown
ed. The people we're escaping in boats
and on RATS. All the country around
Para is flooded, but the waters are be-
ieved to be abating. It is stated, also,
that the river Amganon overlooked
flooding a thousand miles of country,
but the mails were received. There
was great privation and suffering al

Fishing in California.

There is good fishing in California.
Lake Pilarcetus, the Spring Valley
Wtter Company's lake, abounds in
trout. The first lake, the San Andreas,
contains large and noble fish, which
is called by some of our fisherman the
blocked salmon, supposed to have
been confined in the lake by the burst
ing of the company's dam. They have
been taken weighing as high as twelve
pounds, and fish weighing from two
and half to five pounds are very nu.
merous. Lake Pilarcetus ia alive with
the common brook trout, and the silver
trout. This lake is so full of fish that
their existence in that crowded state
seems impossible, but the company are
now allowing their friends to fish there
at pleasure. Large baskets are conse-
quently filed with ease.

Milan Damaged llv A Anrricana.

Milan Damaged by q Hurricane.
The Corriere, of Milan, publishes
details of terrible hurricane which
has just visited that city. For more
than an hour the wind, accompanied
by torrents of rain, ragged with unex-
ampled fury. One of the cupolas of
the Observatory was blown into the
Botanical Garden, where it did some
damage. The strongesttrees were torn
up by the roots, and among those de-
stroyed was the majestic elm planted
three centuries ago by the Archduke
Ferdinand. About fifty planes were
leveled to the ground on the Lazaretto.
The roof of the Politeama Theatre was
carried away while the actors were in
the midst of rehearsal. Chimneys,
cutters and tiles were blown about in
all directions, and the glass of the Vic
tor Emmanuel Arcade suffered consid-
cradle damage. No loss of life took
place, but many persons received seri.
GUS injuries.

Berlin Crowded.

Berlin Is At present crowded beyond
all precedence. The position Il has
taken as the capital Of all Germany.
has called in the official classes of tSe
country, and with them the aristocracv
and gentry Of the country have come.
The influx has been so sudden that no
provision could be made, consequently
rents have advanced at such rate that
the poorest howell now brings what was
once given for q comfortable home.
This naturally comes hardest upon the
middle and poor classes, many being
entirely without shelter, except OF the
rudest and most temporary kind. The
large open space, known in the city as
the Butchers Meadow, is said to pre-
sent most extraordinary spectacle:
Within the Enclosure, Hundreds Of
homeless families have constructed
covering only of boards loosely put TO-
gether, under which they have ar
ranged their tables, chests of drawers,
and such other furniture as they still
retain. As long as the weather contin'
ues warm, they can stand such life
but as winter approaches, the misery
will begin. Even now great alarm il
felt as the cholera has appeared in Der
lin, and with the city crowded as it is
will find little trouble in fastening it
self upon the unfortunate Door.

Prussia NeArlv Sold,

The Paris Patrie says that some time
ago the Prussian Government agreed
to sell all the French chassepots taken
during the war-having need of the
money and not designing to use them
for its own armies-to political or a
military parsonage from South Ameri-
en-. The bargain was concluded, and
all that remained to he done was some
formalities, when at the very moment
of delivery the Prussian Government
suddenly changed its mind and broke
off the whole negotiations. At the
last moment the Berlin Cabinet learned
that in this affair the South American
was only IN intermediary, aud that the
arms had been really purchased by
Russia,

rotating horizontally, with the fame Of

iron to be puddled is placed, and as it
slowly revolves the iron keeps rolling
over and over to the bottom. and 80
presents constantly a new surface to

supercedes the necessity of stirring by
the puddler, and labor is thus saved
and larger charges can be worked than
when the stirring has to be effected by
manual labor.
