THAT OGE.--We mentioned some three
week since the fact that about five hun.
dred pounds OF ore from the "black

highly satisfactory, coming very Near the
assay made of the ore here; that is, near
$500 per ton. There is said to be So.
600 toms of this ore in sight. and il such
is the case th- company have healthy
prospect before them.

1sITA VoLcANo?-John Mcdowell in
forms US that Blue Mountain has been
keeping up terrible rumbllng OF late.
Saturday. Sunday and Monday. the 18th,
18th and l4.b, the reports were heard for
distance Of six miles. Mr.. Mcdowell
has been endeavoring to discover the
canse OF the noise, but so far without
effect. At point in the mountain where
parties aver that they have seen smoke
arising, he discovered small opening,
evidently the opening of cavern. The
mountain. be says. is limestone forma.
ton. 1t is very probable that there is q
large cave in the mountain. in which
there are, perhaps, subterranean lakes,
and the noise occasioned by masses OF
rock falling from the roof OF the cavern
to tho depths below. Who will be the
6rst to enter the opening and make an
explanation?-[ Fesno Expositor. July "a.

BUSTING THE CID RO0KERY.
THE CONVENTION - PREPARING AC
COMBINATIONS FOR THE
DELEGATES.

Major Harrod, of the Board of State
Engineers, is giving some attention to
the fitting up of the House of Repre-
sentatives for the Constitutional Con-
vention. This room is scarcely equal
to the comfortable accommodation of
the ordinary number of Representa-
tives, but when it is called upon to
furnish places for IS more desks-the
number corresponding to the number
of Senators the problem becomes a
little perplexing.
Major HarrOd has ordered that the
rail dividing the people from the AS
sembly be moved back to within a
few feet Of the line of the door. This
will leave very little room for specta-
tors, but within the bar it will furnish
sufficient accommodation to the mem
bers. The new floor within the bar
will be raised to Il level with that
already existing, and desks will be
fixed so that each row will form the
segment of a circle, with the Speakers
stand as centre.
This is the only change contem-
plated, save that of relieving the fur
niture Of it's burden of dust, which
the industrious keeper has under
taken.-New Orleans Picayuae.
The above information will prove
highly gratifying to the members OF
the Convention. 1t is a consolation,
indeed, to learn that the cobwebs and
the dust that are everywhere visible
about the old roolery, are being swept
down and out, in order that the hall
wherein the peoples delegates are to
assemble will be made somewhat more
decent looking than customary.
If the wishes of Louisiana had been
considered in the last few years, the
Convention would have held its SEES

The Morgan City Rerie'c, as the
New Orleans Times would suggest,
very foolishly rushes forth-on the
strength of Bertin's story--to abuse
the keepers of the penitentiary in the
most violent terms. Some things are
best unpublished, and the moral of
the convict story is plainly pointed
here. Now if it whipped our shirt off
to defend upright gentlemen against
the animadyersions of a notorious fell
on, we will let it stay off. In the
meantime it is highly suggestive that
the Times pin down its own shirt while
sailing on the capricious winds of silly
aud i'll toned sensationalism.
