THE SAND BLAST.

Among the wonderful and useful inven-
lions Of the times is the common sand blast.
Suppose you should desire to letter a piece
OF marble for a grave-stone; you' cover the
stone with a sheet of wax no thicker than a
wafer, then cut in the wax the name, date
etc., leaving the marble exposed. Now
pass it under the blast, and the wax will
not be injured at all, but the Sand will cut
letters deep into the stone. Or, ii you de-
sire raised letters, a flower, or other EN-
blem, cut the letter, flowers, ETC., in wax,
and stick them upon the stone; then pass
the tone under the blast, and the sand will
cut it away. Remove the wax, and you
have the raised letters. Take a piece of
French plate glass, say two feet by six, and
cover it with fine lace pass it under the
blast, and not a thread of lace will be in
jured. but the sand will cut deep into the
glass wherever it is not covered by the lace.
Now remov the lace, and you have every
delicate and beautiful figure raised upon the
glass. In this way beautiful figures of all
kinds are cut in glass, and at a small ex-
pense. The workmen can hold their hands
under the blast without harm, even when
it is rapidly cutting away the hardest glass,
iron, or stone, but they must look out for
finger nails, for they will be whitfield off
right hastily. If they put on steel thimbles
to protect the nails, it will do little good,
for the sand will soon whittle them away
but if they wrap a piece of soft cotton
around them they are safe. You will at
once see the philosophy of it. The sand
whittles away and destroys any hard sub
stance, even glass, but does not affect sub
stances that are soft and yielding, like
wax, cotton, or fine laces, or even the hui
man hand.

4 DELIGHTFUL TnIE.-This was
the verdict of all who were fortu-
nate enough to be present at the
.sociable" given at the residence of
Mrs. Silas last Tuesday night. The
amusements consisted Of dancing
and various games which were en-
tered into with lively interest by
the young folks, and happiness was
depicted on every countenance. The
cordial welcome extended to all by
the generous hostess was in itselfia
source Of pleasure. Choice refresh
ments were served, and nothing was
left undone that could add to the
pleasure of the company. 1t was
the first entertainment of the sea-
son, and we doubt if it will be sue
ceeded by any more enjoyable.
We have heard several persons
say that the schedule of the steamer
New Camelia would be changed

officially announce the proposed

A San Diego Heroine.

San Diego possesses genuine heroine
in young lady names Miss Mary Law
renee. Last Tuesday band of wild cat.
tie were being driven through the streets,
when one of them singled out child at
play and started for it. The vaduero,
who was drunk, tumbled from his horse
as ne attempted to turn the furious
animal. At this moment Miss Lawrence
came along, and, taking in the situation
at a glance, sprang into the vacant sad
die, ran down the wild steer, threw her
shawl over its head just as it was about
to gore the child, and, taking advantage
of the confusion Of the beast, rode up to
the child, and, without leaving her sad.
die, reached to 1t and lifted it into her
lap, and then carried it of in safety.
This was not only an act OF heroism, but
an exhibition of borsemsnsbip such as
few, II any, in this section could equal.
That young lady deserves medal, both
as an expert equestrienne in these parts
and as lady whose courage and presence
of mind are only equaled by her skill as a
rider.
