Fort ST. Philib Canal.

Tho Washington correspondent OF the
Louisville Courier Journal, says that the
Senate select Committee ON Transportation
have returned to that city. They are un-
derstood to be nearly unanimous in favor of
an appropriation for a ship canal at the
mouth ofthe Mississippi river, but it is not
likely that any such scheme can pass ss an
isolated measure.

Special Agent T. J. Kinsella is certainly
keeping things straight in this department,
and is making himself the terror of all evil
doers who would Ia any way tfansgress the
customs lawe.
Yesterday morning Mp. Kinsells caused
the arrest of Carl P. Seymer for resisting q
revenue officer IN the discharge Of his duty
SeymeP is stevedore, and, in his anxiety
to get a job, boarded vessel at the Point
in defiance Of the orders OF the customs
officer in charge. 1t seems that formerly it
was customary for stevedores to 60 down to
the Pass in order to bespeak and secure the
lading of vessels. 1t was found, however,
that this free,and-easy way of doing busi
ness, while eminently satisfactory to the
stevedores, led to smuggling. Toput a stop
to this. therefore, an order was issued that
no stevedore should be allowed to board a
vessel before che arrived off Algiers point,
and even then each stevedore, before being
allowed on board, was required to show his
city license. Carl 2. Seymer has thought
to trihe with this regulation. He not only
boarded tho vessel without showing his
license, but cursed and abused the officer
besides. For this he was arrested yesterday
and brought before Commissioner Shannon,
who required him to give bond 20 appear on
Saturday.

stands implicated in that affair OF those elk

Eeneral Howafd's Case.

The military committee of the House,
which has considered the subject of the
charges against General Howar made by
the War Department, have not yet decided
by a vote what course to recommend to the
House. A canvass of the members, how
ever, leads to the belief that the ommittee
will report q resolution requiring the Gen
eral of the army to convene court OF in
quiry, composed of army officers, and that
all the records and papers will be turned
over to that court.

A MANS BA TITLE IN THE WATER
WITH A DEER.
The CrafFord county (Missouril Tx

The CrafEord county (Missouri) Ex-
press, tells the following:
We learn the following from Mr., John
E. Wright, of Scotia: On the 23rd ult.,
Mr.. Robert Harrison. who lives on the
Robert Elliot Farm, near Harrison's
mills, heard some dogs Friday night chas-
ing deer. He rose and went to the
point on the river where he supposed it
would cross, but found he had arrived
too late, as the deer had already crossed.
He heard another coming, however, and
stepped behind tree to get shot at it.
1t did not take the water close enough
for him to see it, and he ran to where it
had jumped in and fred at its head, the
only part visible. He struck it, and lit
tie dog that was with him swan to the
game in the middle ofthe river. A fierce
contest ensued, in which the dog was
about to be drawned, and Mr.. Harrison
plunged in to save his canine auxiliary.
He arrived on the scene of action. He
Immediately gathered" it by the tail
and tried to drown it, and found that the
probabilities were all in favor of the
deer. They all three-deer, dog and
man hoated down stream into shallow
water, where Mr.. Harrison got foothold
on the bottom, when he succeeded in
cutting its throat with pocket-knife. II
was found thatthe animal had only been
creased in the back of the neck, and, of
course, Mr.. Harrison has the honor of
coming of victor in sanguinary strug-
gle with an unwounded deer.

NATURAL WONDERS IN cALIFOR.


| MA.
One DR.. Harness reports to the Acad-
emy of Sciences in San Francisco that.
upon the line which divides l. ssen and
Plumas counties, California, he visited
an extiL ct volcano. He describes il as
being three miles long by halfa mile
wide, and thinks it is of recent origin.
There are trunks of trees standing up
right and a great number of stumps on
the bank. The lava lies in flakes from a
cubic foot in size to ton weight. For
several hundred acres surrounding the
cratei the ground is void of vegetation.
The doctor feels certain that the yolca-
no has been active during the past twen-
ty-tiye years, and says the Indians there
abouts say their fathers informed them
that all the mountains there were once
on fire. The doctor alsoreports the dis
covery In the same region Of a lake larg-
erthan Tahoe, hitherto unknown to the
white men, except to an occasional hun.
ter, The lake, he says, is 1880 feet above
the sea, the highest lake in the void.
He calls it Lake Livingstone, in honor of
the great explorer. II MIA Il
Such, condensed, is the doctors state
ment. We don't know about the lake,
but the smoking mountain in Plumas is
one of the old traditions there. Immi-
grants Of '49 and 80 tell as they felt their
weary way across the mountains, of see
ing Lasson's Peak and the smoking
mountain. The Indian story is, like most
Indian narratives, much more poetical
than truthful. The time when all the
mountains were on fire probably refers
the annual burning ofthe chapparal, and
other underbrusn Ofthe forest, in order
to keep their hunting grounds clear, and
to prevent really dangerous fires. The
country from Plumas to the Oregon line
is very beautiful and very grand. We
might add, it is very rich in its broad
valleys and its magnificent growth of
timber. When some company of en-
lightened capitalists build a narrow-gague
railroad from 0roville to Indian Valley
only sixty-fve miles-this region will
begin to be explored, and men win won
der that it was given over so long to the
Indians and the wild beasts. Virginia
