A remarkable scheme is on foot in San
Francisco which we suspect originated with
Major Jack Stratman or Philosopher Pick
EFT. Circulars giving detailed information
about the project have been sent to several
residents of Virginia city, 1t is nothing
less than plan for colonizing an island IN
the Pacific. As yet no locality has been
definitely fixed upon, but there is niue
island about hundred miles west OF san
Diego which is considered very eligible
SPOT. It can be reached In from twenty
to thirty hours sail from the coast by
schooner. The island is blessed WIN
a perpetual Indiau-summer climate, ana
is covered with luxurious vegetation.
Those who contemplate; taking up tnelr
residence on the island say that their Prln-
cinaI object is to escape from the many an
nnvances incident to more civilized ilfe.- LII
il nronosef3 to timit the colony to nifty per-
CONS. men, women, and children, and to
kill off any man or woman VINO becomes
nhnoxious to the rest. Everybody is to do
lust as she or he pleases so long as mere is
no ATTEMPT to NEEDLE with the affairs OF
others. ANY person proposing to form a
municipal governments to be buried up to
his neck in the sand of the seashore at low
tide, No money of any kind is to be used
on the island. All things are to be in COM
mon. Religious or political discussions are
punishable with death--the offenders to be
fed to the, SEALS Virginia City (Nev.,

A STRANGE PHEEoMENoN.-lFr Firm the Tai.
lahassee Foridian. I'VE are informed that
q gentleman residing in Wakulla county by
the name OF Cox, who is cultivating n small
farm, upon arising one morning last week
was surprised to find that during the night
his residence had been changed from re-
eion where water could not be seen and
was situated on the border Of lake. When
he retired on the evening before bis house
was far away from any pond, lake, or river,
but upon going out next morning his
surprise can be imagined when, instead
OF his garden, an immense sink fifty
OF sixty yards square, filed with water,
running up within eighteen or twenty
feet OF his residence, met his gaze. During
the night this transformation occurred,
leaving not even ayestige Of the tallest pine
trees which were standing in their full ma
iesty only twelve hours before. These
sinks, however, are not intreQuent in that
county. 1t has only been short time
since that sink occurred near Layender's
Mill, more remarkable than the one alluded
to above, in that it occurred upon the very
top OF hill-one OF the highest points OF
land in that county. viii not some one en-
plain these occurrences?

A friend gives US the following little
anecdote as illustrative Ct the neighborly
love of the people OF Texas: He and
Texan. who was contemplating the purchase
of a ranch somewhere in Truckee Meadows
were out on horseback looking at the farms
and cattle ranges along the river. AS they
leisurly followed the meanderngs OF the
stream they presently saw two borsemen
on the opposite bank. AS the two parties
approached each other the Texan with our
friend recognized in one OF the men on the
opposite bank Of The river an old friend and
man who was one OF his nearest nelghDors
at home. The two men bailed each other
from the opposite banks Of the stream, and,
exchanging greetings, many friendly ques-
tons were put and answered. The men
were evidently delighted to meet each other,
and their only regret appeared TO DE that
they encountered one another In place
where it was impossible for them to clasp
and shake bands, the river not being forda'
BILE on account OF its swiftness and the rocky
and treacberous nature Of Its channel, while
the nearest bridge was five miles above.
Both men Iamented these unfortunate cir
cumstances very much, but at length q
way OF getting over the difficulty suggested
itself to the drover, whose pet name Was
|Broncho Bill"
Il say, SAM" cried Broncho, :" it's lii.
tie rough for old friends and Deishbors to
meet away out here, thousands OF miles
from home, and then have to part in this
way. Got yer pistol with yer?"
"Ihey ~ cried Sam; /" alters carry her -
"Good That's some comfort; ct we can't
get across this var dam stream to shake
hands, why, thar's nothing to prevent us
from takin' shot ut each other. JiSt ride
ND to yer left thar rod or two. Thar. now,
list one good old neighborly, home shot! =
The men rode aside, and bang! bang
went their pistols. "
eyer smashed the pumme OF my saddle
cried Broncho; Eyer see the cussed hos:
stied little iist as yer turned loose, or vel
might plumped me good"
"You done Better, Bill; you got into the
flesh Of nv left arm bout half an inch
Good-morning TO you, n safe Journey to yer
and tell the folks Mt home we met and had {
good, socable time together!"
"Thanke yer an the same TO you-be
I'll give 'em good account Of YOU"
Sam then turned to our friend, and will
tears in his eyes said: Good bless him
1t is q great comfort to meet an old frient
and neighbor like him away out here il
this wilderness place. A kinder, more &c
commcdative, and agreeable gentleman
never lived. I wouldn't a-missed seein
him for $50l"
