The rebiting of files by means of acid,
a French process, is said to be q COM
plete success. The worn files are first
cleaned with potash and hot water,
after which they are left for five min
utes in solution composed of one part
of sulphuric acid and seven parts Of
water; quantity of nitric acid equal
to the sulphuric is then added to the
solution, and as much water also. and
the files are left in the solution for
about forty minutes longer. They are
now ready for use, but if to be stored.
they must be brushed over with little
oil or grease to prevent rusting. The
files are not allowed to touch each other
in the solution. being supported by
their tangs only. In order to obtain
the most complete results possible the
proportions of acid are varied accord
ing to the size of the files; for example,
for large files, one-sixth acid; for
bastard files, one-eighth, one-ninth. to
one-eleventh: and for the finest, one
twelfth to one-thirteenth. The cost of
the operation is small, and as . file
sharpened in this manner is. it is said,
quite as efficient as one that has been
re-cut, the saving is large.

SoME QUEER RAILROAD BUlLDERs.-
There were workmen on 1.-THE Pacific
Railway even more curious than the
Irish or Chinese navvies. During the
summer of 1868, the Laramie river be-
came very low, much to the distress of
a contractor who had cut a great many
thousands of CROSS ties-the timbers on
which the rails are laid-and which he
expected to float down to tho point
where the railroad was to cross. He
was at first at loss to know what to do,
but resolved, finally to build dams
across the river at various points, and
when the river was high enough, set his
RATS afloat. Large parties of men.
therefore. went to work building the
dams. No sooner would the men leave
of work at night than thousands Of
beavers would begin and work hard at
the dam during the whole night. Water
is always necessary to the comfort Of
beavers as on this occasion it was TO the
welfare of the contractor; and it was
probably for this reason, and not be.
cause thsy wished to SEQ the railroad
finished that the beaver community
joined in the labor Of building the dams.

The mortar is actually: charged with
gunpowder, which is lighted in the or

The effeck of the powder is to loosen q
spring which sends the man spinning
through space. At first there was some
difficulty in adjusting the spring to the
required nicely. and when the perfor-
mer came to try it he was shot about
six feet too far. sustaining dislocated

HUNTING THE GRIZZLY.-Prince Star
hemberg, one of the twigs of the Aus
trian genealogical tree. arrived in San
Francisco few weeks ago. The Prince
is great hunter. He has heard the
lion roar in the wilds of Africa, and shot
him too. He has also brought down
tho ponderous elephant, pierced the
hide of the mailed rhinoceros, and like
Gordon Cumming. been towed up stieam
at the tail of the hippopotamus. He
came to this coast, not 10 explore her
mines, or to study our ways in agri-
culture or stocks, but to track the wild
grizzly and extract his claws. In this
pursuit he has achieved moderate de.
gree of renown. Scott, the hunter of
Cloverdale, led him into the wilds
haunted by the bear, and on the second
day of the expedition the Prince killed
. small grizzly. SO neatly that the ami
NAL had no leisure to reflect on the
barbarity of peppering him with explo-
sive bullets. On the third day brown
bear of 500 pounds was slain, and on
the fourth an animal which has some
affinity to the otter or badger family.
The Prince has now gone East, de-
lighted with California sport, but will
return.

There is nothing half so funny as q
practical joke, and this. as told by an
Eastern paper, is a regular .rib-tickler.
Frederic Walker and Peter Kohler, of
Guttenburg, N. j., stuffed an old suit of
clothes with straw, the other night, aud
carried it to Bulls Ferry road and Her
man avenue. where they placed it against
q lamp-post. About midnight they be-
gan an imaginary quarrel in loud tone,
and continued it until number of peo-
pie were aroused from their beds. Then
they shot the imaginary man. The body
fell down and the young men ran away.
The neighbors. thinking a murder had
been committed, chased the young men,
and Kohler was shot in the leg before
the deception was explained" Think
what solid enjoyment Mr.. Kohler will
have laughing at that for six weeks

screaming farce it would have been for

VIRGINIA CITY, Dec. 22.-Another out>
break occurred in the Chinese quarter
about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
rival Hop Wo and Sam Sing companies
have been lying on'their arms since the
skirmish Of two weeks ago, and each
side has, in the meantime, imported
fighters from California. Warlike pre-
parations have been going on day and
night, and this afternoon the Sam Sing
retainers thought the time ripe for ac-
ton, and opened FIRE from their loop
holed building on the corner of II and
Union streets. upon the castle of the
Hop Wos, some sixty yards distant.
Instantly the roof of the latter building
was thronged with armed Cinnamon.

good aim that the Sam Sing house is
marked all over with bullet-holes. The
war soon became general throughout
Chinatown, and the sound Gf the firing

whites, the battle ceased. Two wound
ed Cinnamon were found, one with a
charge of shot in his back and another
with a bullet-nole through his neck.
The latter is probably fatally hurt. 1t
is thought by the police that several
men were killed and their bodies car
ried of and secreted. Up to half-past
8 this evening twenty-three Cinnamon
were lodged in the City Prison. All
were armed to the teeth. During the
early part of the evening there was
some talk of lynching the Cinnamon
