VI MEMPHIS TENN WEDNESDAY EVENING MARCH 96 1873

last Monday morning, the Commune
would he proclaimed here within ten
days. Should these things be, unlortu.
nAtely, realized, | trust that Cluseret
may be here; for Of all the Information
ais with whom have come in contact,
| have met none who treated me with
more consideration. Cluseret is kind
of revolutionary barometer Of no despi'
cable accuracy; aud Il Il be true that he
is in the Peninsula, stormy weather may
be expected. IL is, however, doubtful
whether he is really here, aud il is now
confidently stated that the story Of his
being here arose from q mistake-and
in this manner: An English and a
French journalist were in public room
at one OF the principal hotels in Madrid,
and, always on the look out for sensa'
tions, they took il into their heads that
a gentleman, also journalist, who had
Just arrived, was Cluseret; thus the
statement that the celebrated General
was in Madrid found its way into the
newspapers. An accident will give you
an idea OF the favor with which the
Partisan Communists are regarded in
Madrid. Having occasion TO call at the
hotel where Cluseret was reported 10
have breakfasted, asked the porter II
Cluseret stayed there. No. replied the
man; If he came here would arrest
him myself. We want no commune
here. Spaniards are too apt to use their
knives freely, and, were u commune
once attempted here, none would be
safe; it is impossible to see where the
atrocities would cease. | have good
reason to believe that if Cluseret came
here, the government, to prevent accl-
dents, would have him escorted politely
to the frontier"

A female Argonaut Of fearful vitality,
tall And extremely ugly female, called
at the posiollice yesterday, rendered
ninety-nine coppers TO the urbane clerk,
and asked in lieu thereof three cent
stamps. Tho official remarked that he
could oNly receive four coppers as legal
tender, and, at the expense OF a deal OF
precious time, endeavored 10 convince
the female that he was guided by certain
rules aud had no latitude in the matter.
She waxed wroth. and remarked that
when in the course Of human events Il
became apparent that United States
coin was 10 be refused by n United States
official, she thought her forefathers had
died in vain, and considered it her duty
10 bring the government to account.
Then she paced the corridor Of the post
office until she had made thirty three
seperate tenders Of the coppers and OBJ
tanned thirty three three-cent stamps,
During her transactions with the clerk
she gave him much unsolicited advice,
and otherwise contributed to the enjoy
ment Of little knot Of spectators. The
clerk acted the gentleman throughout.

A chimney ina. WIN No. smoke.

The Scientific American gives the fol.
lowing hints to those who would build
a chimney which will not smoke" The
chief point is to make the throat not less
than four inches broad and twelve inches
long; then the chimneys should be alb.
ruptly enlarged to double the size, and
so continue for one foot or more; then
it may be gradually tapered of as de-
sired. But the inside Of the chimney,
throughout its whole length to the top,
should be plastered very smooth with
good mortar, which will harden with age.
The area of the chimney should be at
least half square foot, and no hues less
than sixty square inches. The best
shape for chimney is circular, or many
sided, as giving less friction (brick is the
best material, as it is a non-conductor),
and the higher above the roof the better.

Twenty-Five ladies and gentlemen IN
Newark, N. D., assembled in hotel par
lor two or three evenings ago, and formed
a society for the promotion Of marriage.
An alarming condition of affairs was
disclosed by the statement that there are
in Newark three men to every woman.
The competition which naturally ensues
renders marriage improbable and puts u
premium on filtration. The society are
going to work in pobar earnest to mend
this condition Of affairs, and an er a OF
official mot to say oiiiciousl match-mak-
ing is thereby inaugurated in Newark.
All present signed the following pream-
bic and resolution:

these new strikes have been made in

sunk by spectators, whofinally gave

oil. Lately, nitro-glycerine torpedoes
have been exploded in these places,
and fresh deposits Of the unctUous

vealed. Prospectors are flying around
a IS wildly as in the days of the first
discoveries; the hotels are filled; and

dry holes are now yielding two
hundred barrels of oil daily.

Golden Sands.

The Denver, Colorado, NelrS Of re.
cent date contains an account of Ger.
tain a]uriferous sands which have been
discovered on and in Clear Creek, not
very far from Denver, and to which
miners are already preparing to flock
in considerable numbers. The gol-
den sands are in the immediate vicin-
ity of Golden City. Clear Creek is q
fork Of the Platte river, and it is upon
4 bar called the Arapahoe Bar, which
has an average width of one mile and
a frontage of niue miles, that the
diggings are being prosecuted. At
the point where work is going on the
sand and gravel is about thirty feet
deep to bedrock, and presents a face
of powders, gold-bearing dirt, and a
kind Of black sand, which has yield
ed gold TO the amount of $500 per ton.
Along the whole extent the bed of the
bar is covered with this rich black
sand. The owner Of the land is Mr..
Wentworth, who bought the prop
erty a few months ago, and who, with
five men, is now induStriouslv and
proitablv working the soil. y party
of Californiaus have contracted, says
the NelrS, for fifteen hundred inches
of water from the Golden and Arap-
ahoe ditch, with which they intend
operating in the vicinity.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. ~.
The Ecening Dispatch publishes au-
thentic information from Fort Sill, as
late as August p, which is to the
effect that on the Goth inst. General
Davidson left Fort Sill with his caval-
ry, under orders from General Augur,
to suppress the Indian disturbances
on the Texas frontier, leaving but
three companies of troops to garrison
the fort. The expedition was expect
ed To be gone forty days. Nothing
has been heard from them since the
above date. But the weakness of the
garrison and the knowledge that the
Indians in the region are familiar with
ali that relates to the d tense of the
tort, causes much apprehension on the
part of persons here who have friends
and relations ut the post. The
report from Waco. Texas, of its cap
ture and the massacre of its inmates,
NAV be true.

A Deputy I. ). Marshal states that
at a recent sitting of the United

Arkansas, 10 persons were convicted
OF murder. These are citizens of In
dian Territory, and were arrested in
the Indian country, taken to Fort
SlnIth, and convicted by a Jury not
com aosed by citizens of their own
country. These facts will soon con-
vince the Indians that government
jurisdiction should be extended over
that Territory, and that United States
Courts should be established, so that

be tried at home by a jury OF their
