Gen. Geo. Stoneman, of Los
Robles rancho, together with Mr..
M. L. HInmap, of Brooks Loco
motive Works, Dunkirk, N, Y,
Mr.. Chae w. Wiggan. of Dover,
N. H., and Messrs. Halsted and
Sewell and DR.. Lathrop, of San
Gabriel Mission, spent Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday nights
in the Sierra Madre mountains.
Wednesday they camped just to
the west of Wilson's Peak and their
fires were seen for miles around.
They had a tough time, as the trail
up the mountain is in very bad
condition.. The only adventure,
however, that they were favored
with, was having their breakfast
stolen on Thursday night by bear
OF the cinnamon persuasion.
The Ventura Free Press says:
George Hall is quite enthusiastic
over some placer dlggings which
he and some companions have dis
covered near the head of San Fran
cisco cafion, short distance from
Newhall. He claims that there is
pay gravel from two to eight feet
deep, yielding from two TO eight
cents to the bucket and water to be
had convenient. He shows about
four bits worth of gold as proof of
his assertions; but we want to see
ounces and ounces of it. We hope
it is good find, however.
A very singular occurrence took
place in the cafion one day last
week. John Courtright says ms he
was passing along the road he heard
the peculiar noise of q rattlesnake
just ahead of him. He stepped back
few PAGES and secured "A club, and
then advanced upon his venomous
enemy, when, just as he was pre-
pairing to strike, a wild cat darted
from the bushes, seized the snake
and trotted off with it, seemingly
as we'll pleased as a hungry soldier
who had secured square meal. -

Just received the very latest and
prettiest ladies and misses cloaks,
cheaper than the cheapest, at the
Mechanics Store, 40 Main street,
opposite the st. Charles Hotel.

HAUNTED houses are plentiful in
Washington. There is a domicile in
Four-and-a-half street, where, in the
evening twilight, before the gas is
lighted, newspaper is heard to rat
tie in an alcove designed for a bed
Investigation of the apartment deve!-
ops the fact that there is no person
there to rattle the paper. The doubter
may suggest rats, but the solemn as.
surance is given that there is no paper
there to be ratified, nor any possible
thing that could resemble the noise oi
folding a newspaper-no paper Ct any
kind that could be ratified or folded
OF course people will be found tc
scoff at the ghost of newspaper, but
perhaps if told Of the inexplicable
death Of a lady, the wife of a literary
man, in that house some years ago
they might change their opinion.
There is another haunted house or

GENERAL MCDOWELL AT BULL RUN.
Washington Cor. Troy Timcs.l

| met yesterday gentleman at
tached to the Confederate army, who
occupied prominent position in the
centre of that army at the first battle
of Bull Run. He had just come from
a visit made to the Bull Run battle
| field in company with Union officer.
He is the most willing witness | have
found to the strategic skill and per-
sonal bravery of General Mcdowell
On that field. He tells me that both
General Beauregard and General
Johnston, the leaders of the Confeder-
ate forces, stated to him that the plan
of battle was finely conceived, that
there was no fault in the commanding
General, and that the route was due
to the i'll discipline of the raw troops
he handled, and to a succession of mi
nor accidents, beyond the power Of
foresight to control. His forces were
fanked, contrary to his plan, contrary
to his orders, contrary to every ra
tional expectation of the day The
idea Of "treachery" OH the part Of the
Union commander never entered the
minds of bis opposing generals. Gen.
eral Mcdowell was skillful and brave
soldier, but was not alone an army.
He could plan, but he could not keep
every man in lines. He could cry
"shoot low" but he could not prevent
his men from shooting each other. Itl
was the Massachusetts Governor, An
drew, who said of McDowelPs army, |
that "it was a collection of town meet
ings" The raw forces, fresh from the
factory and the farm, knew nothing of
and were not accustomed to
obey. Their immediate commanders
were handful of incompetents. The
commander of the reserves at Centre
vile was drunk. The officer directed
to 'feep of the enemy only invited
battle, and exhibited his weakness to
his foes. The result was a rout. The
armed town meeting" was driven pell
nell towards its northern home, and
Gen. Mcdowell was called traitor"
and an imbccile because his town
was not an army. He fought
thenceforth gallantly. He quietly en-
dured obloquy for many years. He
did not intrigue. Critical history has
long since justified his course, and his
promotion was his popular vindication
May he long wear the two stars.
That is what Confederate officer
thought of his Bull Run visit and of
the promotion which, after many
years, was accorded to the commander
Of the Union forces.

but declined, because / am not one of
that kind. The New Jersey avenue
ghost is known to hold some sort of
relationship to a gentleman and lady
who lived there several years ago.
One day it was given out that she
had gone to New York, and shortly
afterwards he picked up his carpet
bag and went away, since which time
neither of them have been seen. Now,
at Ii o'clock carriage is heard, not
seen, to drive up. the bell rings with
out any visible cause, the door is heard
to open and close, and after that the
most pitiful sounds, as of a female
begging for mercy and crying out
that she was not prepared to die, are
heard, but there is no pity. He mur-
ders her every night. If these things
are not SO, why does the house remain
vacant, although some most intelli-
gent people have tried to live in it.

A Tree GIVEN TO WEEP1NG.-If the
rain-tree of Peru is capable of doing
all that is related of it, and can be
propagated, it might be of great SER
vice in the arid portions of our south
western territory. One of the Con-
suls of the United States of Colum.
bia has addressed his home Govern
ment letter describing the tree as it
appears in the woods adjoining the
city of Moyobamba, in Peru. 1t is
called by the natives the tamta-saspi,
!. e.. the raining tree. At ali times it
drips moisture from its leaves and
branches, and in some instances the
ground around it has become
swamp. This property of the tree ap-
pears to increase in the dry season.
The height of the tree is stated at
about fifty feet; diameter at base,
somewhat over yard.

TYNDALL and Huxley have vocab,

took place:
Huxley--"how is your molecular
action this morning?'
"Thank you kindly" said Tyndall,
my biophlasts are pretty active just
now. How is it with your own at
omsw
"Ah, my dearest friend, they are in
state of unstable equilibrium, and l
must confess that the definite combi-
nation of heterogeneous changes, both
simultaneous and successive, is not in
correspondence with external coexis-
tencies and sequence"
Tyndall simply replied with sigh,
and then they both sat down on an
other bit of ice.
