Washington special says a statement has been made upon high authority that the forthcoming message to Congress will COR tain the most urgent recommendation that the Indian Bureau be turned over to the management of the War Department. This is accepted as evidence that the President has finally become convinced that a. least some frauds charged upon the present man agement of the Indian Service have foun- dation in fact It also gives further color to the rumor that Delano will be superseded by J. Russell Jones of Illinois, as it is partially improbable that after having in this manner reflected upon Secretary Delano, the Presi- dent would retain him in his Cabinet The President has always been in favor of having the control of the Indians vested in the War Department, but has had desire to give the Pesce policy people fair opportunity to de- monstrate their peculiar fitness for the work, and now that they have failed 50 rEiserably, he will use all his influence to secure the adoption of system which he is convinced is the better one.

FRoN SaNDY.-Georgc W. Barnard and Pard Pierce arrived on Tuesday from tLc Sandy country. About % men arc at vossi on the McCrackin mine, and few on wha, are known as the "jumpcr's claims" { shaft is being sunk on the McCrackin and so1ne good ore coming out Mir Barnard brought piece that came out 100 feet be- low the surface that is quite rich, but noth- ing to compare with the surface ore of the Peck or Silver Prince, which it resembles somewhat. NIT. Barnard thinks the I.nguid state of the work is due to the uncertain con- dition Of the title to the mine. NcCrackin and Owen discovered 1t and located their friends who afterwards dceded their loca- tions to the discoycrers. It was then sold to San Francisco company, coBditionally, and other parties jumped the portion located and rcdeeded, as above stated, So that the original discoverers, McCrackin and Owen, gre unable to give possession, consequently have only received part of the purchase money, and are unable to put themselves in position to demend the balance until the jumpers can be got rid of Thus the matter stands and is likely to remain for some time, materially rctarding the development of the country.

| THE RoADRUsSER.-Thisp peculiar species of the feathercd creation, known to no other country but California, and of extreme scar city, is a curiosity that We seldom sec in a days travel. MT. L. Tully, of our town, and MT. Mitchell, of Calistoga, while returning home last monday, discovered one in the road running along, wings half extended, with the velocity of an ostrich. Although not 50 large. it has the ostrich's peculiari- ties, runs like it and again does not possess the power of flying but can jump in the clear, by the assistance of its wings, from twenty-five to forty feet, rlising seven or eight feet in its jump. This is also a char acteristic of the ostrich, which does not fly, but by Tapping it's wings and hecling and toeing the dust, gets away with the turf, so as to astonish the fastest horse. The road runner did the same thing, and not only as tonisbed SIT. Fully, but MT. Mitchell also, who was making terrific race on horseback af- ter it, the object being to run it down Du- ring the race the roadrunner took to the low-limbed trees frequently, jumping from branch to branch, making 1t decidedly inter esting as well as hot for the pursucrs, as MT. Tully, had 10 climb and drive it out. It was finally run down and captured alive by Mr. Tully, but soon thereafter escaped from the box, and before it could be run down again it was caught by the dog and unfortunately killed. In Southern California, where the character of the roairunner Is better known, the Mexicans and Indians never kill it. They say that it is deadly enemy to the rattle snake. Its mode of warcfare is one of judg. ment, the favorite mode nf attack being when tine snake is asleep; it then gathers cactus, and after circling the reptile within its tborny ring, wakes him up with pick, or by dropping one of the thorny things on him. The snake will not cross the cactus, and he is sooner or later aggravated into spring, when he falls upon the thorns, and death en- sues by uightfall,-St Helena, California, Sta..

 its wonted absence of prejudice, has just dealt each side of the question knock -dowr blow. 4 Frankfort journal reports that g chemist of that city has lately given public exhibition of his ability to make delicious beer at 8 moments notice out of nothing bu; a small quantity of brownish powder and a pail of water It is said that certain experts present-some Of them brewers themselves could not distinguish between the bever- age thus made on the spot and that drawn i, on the orthodox cask. The new bee! pow der Can be sold at five pence an ounce, and one ounce is sufficient to produce gallon of beer. At this rate glass of beer will cost about a farthing. And the process is so sim pie: take some pure, cold water, put the powder into it, stir well, and the beer is ready. The inventor. moreover, declares that by slight change in lis ingredients, he can alter the quality of the beer, and pro duce any kind that may be desired.

THE GIANT GRAPE-V ryg.-Dr. Ord, the Santa Barbara agent of the Centennial Com nissioners, has been for some time negotiat- ing with Mir. NJ. Sawyer, the owner of the Big Grape vine, to have it taken up bodily and conveyed to Philadelphia, to be placed in the California department of the Centen- nial Exposition. Lately, it became evident that the Giant was dying, and at last Mir. Sawyer agreed that it should be taken to the Centennial, and has undertaken to attend to its removal himself, and will attend there personally to its exhibition. Who is there in all this section of the State that will not regret the death of the Big Grape vine However, the young. hardy Giant vine, the offspring of the old Giant vine, and growing within one hundred feet of it, wears the hon Ors oi its parent, for it is now the largest liV- ing grapevine in the world.-ISanta Barba- ra Index.

THE failure ef Duncan, sherman S Co, is evidently the culmination of many years bad business and consequent losses. It is not the result of panic, striHgency in the the money market, or causeless distrust- It teaches us that great firms which have had the adyan- tages of high credit and worldwide repute can become insolvent as well as the pettiest country storc-keeper. Dabbling in question able speculations, serving as figure-heads for the rotten management of rotten railroads and accepting their securities as collateral for twice their ventures, cotton ventures, and the like, arc the immediate causes to which the street traces the crash.-INcw York Tribune.

JAMES LICK AND Hrs 0BsERyAToRY.-We called upon Mr. Lick yesterday morning and found him quite cheerful. He says that his health is much improved, and as soon as he has his appetite, which ho IS fast gaining, he will feel like new man. We asked him in regard to an item that appeared in the Lake Democrat, which said that he had placed funds in the hands of the officers of the State University, for the purpose ofbuilding an ob- servatory upon Mount St. Helena. He says that he has done no such thing-that he has been observing the stars and the general tenn perature of the climate at night, and will make one more trip to St. Helena mountain before he makes up his mind Calistoga Free Press, July 3lst.

Ir appears from recent advices that Secre- tary Bristow Is preparing to comply with the provisions of the Act of last Congress in regard to the substitution of silver for frac- tional currency, and that he intends to begin by calling in notes of denominations less than 50 cents. It is said that hc expects to be able to keep silver in circulation at par with grecnbacks if gold can be got down and kept down to premium ofll per cent, or rather, to put it more correctly, if currency can be kept at discount not exceeding 10 per cent; as compared with gold.

 MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT RACISG.-Racing was royal fun. The public always Lad an idea that racing was dangerous whereas the very opposite was the case-that Is, after the laws were passed which restricted each boat to just 50 many pounds of steam to the square inch. No engineer was ever sleepy or care less when his heart was in a race. He was constantly on the alert, trying gauge-cocks and watching things. The dangerous place was on slow, popular boats, where the engi neers drowsed around and allowed chips to get into the doctor" and shut of the water supply from the boilers. In the '.flush times" of steamboating race between two notori- ously fleet steamers was an event of vast i'm p0rtance. The date was set for it several weeks in advance, and from that time for ward the whole Mississippi valley was in a state of consuming excitement. Politics and the weather were dropped, and the people talked of only the coming race. As the time approached the two steamers stripped" and got ready. Every incumbrance that ad ded weight, or exposed resisting surface to wind or water was removed, if the boat could.possibly do without it. The ''spars" and sometimes even their supporting der ricks were sent a shore and no means left to set the boat aflost, in case she got aground. When the Eclipse and A. L. Shotweil ran their great race twenty two years ago, it was said that pains were taken to scrape the glid- ing of the fanciful device which hung be- tween the Eclpse's chinneys, and that for one trip the captain left off his kid gloves and had his head shaved. But l always doubted these things. If the boat was known to make her best speed when drawing five and half feet forward and five feet aft, she was loaded to the exact fgure-she would't enter dose ho meopathic pills on her manifest after that. Hardly any passen- gers were taken, because they only added weight, but they never will '' trim boat" They will always run to the side when there is anything to see, whereas a conscientious and experienced steamboatman would stick to the centre of the boat and part his hair with spirit level.-lMaTk Twain, in the August Atlantic.
