SINGULAR PErRIFAcTIoN. -W While
hunting in the tules near the sink oi
Cache Creek, on Monday last, Mr.. Abe
Green, an old tule hunter, discovered q
petri6ed goose standing upright, with
its legs buried about one-haif in the
adobe soil. He thought at first it was
living, creeping closely up fred bis gun
at it, but the bird did not bulge an inch
He thought it very strange, and walked
upto it. He found it dead, and in trying
to pick it up was astonished at its ina
mense weight. 1t had turned to stone,
and mark on its wing near the for
ward joint showed where the shot had
struck it, knocking piece off, He
managed to raise it up out Of the ground,
and when be laid it dewn piece
dropped from its breast, disclosing a

IsrHMUs CANALs.-The Suez canal,
during its last business year, is said to
have paid divids nd Of six per cent.
upon the entire cost Of construction,
and it is thought will pay more here
after. Though the influence o. Great
Britain was used to discourage the con-
struesion of this canal, the East India
commerce Of that country largely takes
this route, and is the most liberal con-
tributor to its revenues. The naviga-
tion Of the Red Sea, which the canal
nnites with the Mediterranean, is said
to be SO difficult that the few fast-sail-
ing tea ships prefer to make the voyage
from China to England by the old route
rather than encounter the battling
winds, reefs and want Of sea room in
the Dead Sea. The earnings Of the
Suez canal are largely mace up from
tolls Of steamships, which have no diff
Guilty in navigating the Red Sea or the

ThsIsthmus of Darien orTehuantepec
presents the next obstacle to the COM
merce of the world which engineering
skill will be called upon to overcome.
Late surveys have reduced the apparent
difficulties of such an enterprise. When
the fact is established that the canal
will pay fair interest on the cost Of
construction the werk will be inaugural

MIA and the North Pacific coast would

New York Express remarks, when .

Francisco can reach New York in 6, 900
miles. in place Of one BY Cape Horn,
more than II 900 miles, saving almost
two thirds Of the distance. and reducing
the voyage to Liverpool 1000 miles,
there will be little occasion to discuss
railway combinations. The commerce
of Indo-C China would seek this route,
including probably much Of that which
now seeks transportation BY the Isthmus
Of Suez Such anu isthmus, means,
moreover. vast commercial empire on

INSTRUMENTATION OF SERVANTS.

HOW CAN THEY BE MADE HONEST AND FAITHFUL
70 the Edttor Of The Trtbune.
SIR: Havirg observed, much TO my surprise,
The shirt of infubordinatOn existing the part OF
ants | have been led TO ask, Can nothing be done 10
promote anicable relations between servantgrls and
their cnpoycrsl The servant question has, believe
been discussed in this country from every point OF view
but the serious 1t has furnished the theme for NAM
beess caricatures In the comic papers and endless
covert iibes in the dignhed but less timid daily
press but as for serious discussion Of this subject we
have never had any.
Domestic servants trustees, and often have very
important charges Dwellings, furniture, paintings
plate clothing jewelry, nay even regulations and lives
are committed to their care watcbiulness They are
invariably foreigners, commonly Ignorant, and often de-
urayed. We usually employ them without reference or
recommendation without inquiry into their past inter
in their future. That under such circumstances abuse
of ia r trusts should he common Is no cause OF surprise
merely contend that the law should yide adequate
mlkeHeigh for the great exposure and risk to which We
servants or petit treason the Old English law termed
it, with and exemplary penalties The punishment
should be as severe that for highway robbery.
n Is time 10 cease towing with tine fact that servants
have their way, and rule their employers with I'M
