ISAAC E. JAMES, late Chief En-
gineer of the Truckce and Virgin.
ia City Railroad, and brother Of
Register Alfred James, Of this
city, passed down the Orizaba on
his way to the head Of the Gulf Of
California, with a view Of making
scientific exploration ofthe conn.
try between the gnlf and The
southern extremity Of the great
basin, which is known to be far
below the level of tidewatcr, for
tho purpose Of ascertaining the
feasibility Of turning the waters Of
the gulf into the basin. This basin
or depression extends northward
nearly or quite to the southern
boundary Of Utah, and the con-
summation OF this project would
result in the formation Of sea OF
perhaps not less than 600 miles
in length, and would be produc-
tive Of great climate changes
throughout vast scope of coun-
try. Mr.. James will commence
his explorations Of the point Of
greatest depression on the line Of
the Texas Pacific Railroad, and
will probably be absent abou: six
weeks.-Los angeles (Cal Er-

while not few Of the male persuasion

In short time the marvellous birth
spread all over the eastern section Of
the city and became the subject of
lively conversation and pleasant and
suggestive comment everywhere.
The report was at first discredited;
but the proof was to convincing, and
i'credul US humanity was conpeli' d
to believe and wonder what would
come next. Mrs. Bolden is not only
fortunate in the number Of her of.

and one girl. rr Tucker, who at
tended the happy woman IN her ill

four will certainly live, and that
there is fair prospect that in due

there are now 5000, There
was one Bishopric; there are now
fifty four, besides six vicariates
apostolic and four abbots; there
were 81 priests, there arc now
1880; there were three or four
