An excursion party from Arr

An excursion party from Ari-
zona, consisting Of about one hum
bred persons, passed through Los
Angeles yesterday, Gu route
for San Francisco. The follow.
ing excursionists were registered
ut the Cosmopolitan Hotel: Geo.
e. Weber, K. b. Morrison, n.
Rosenthal, Phoenix; J. M. More,
Prescott; e. Gaz, Phoenix; w. S.
Curry and son, Tucson; f. g. Beck
er, Prescott; M. Asher. Phoenix; s.

d. III. Logan, Casa Grande, FL. L.

son.
We yesterday interviewed Gen.
George Stonemap, who was lately
elected Railway Commissioner by
such a pronounced majority. He
has recently returned from trip to
San Francisco. While up country
he interviewed Mr.. Cone who, he
informs us, is an intelligent and
conservative business man, as also
Mr.. Beerstecher, who will come
down to Los Angeles next week.
We had most interesting CONVEX
sation with Gen. Stoneman, which
we will reproduce more at length
tomorrow. The General was the
brains of the last Railway Commits
sion; and, being the only member
of the present body who has had
any experience, and being thor
oughly en- rapport with our people,
Southern California may look to
him with confidence as friend
and champion of her essential in
teres.s.
We had the pleasure yesterday of
meeting ex-County Judge Thomas
H. Bush, of San Diego county. For
some years past Judge Bush has
been o red-shirted miner in Ari-
IONA. He retains his old bon
hoDamie and geniality and is
undoubtedly one of the ris-
ing statesmen, as we'll as one of
the nascent millionaires, of that
promising region. Judge Bush
came into the southern end of Cali
fornia just in time to restore the
equilibrium which had been some
what disturbed by Grants advent
at San Francisco. With Bush
in the south and Grant
at the center everything will
go well for the present,
ut least. The Judge has some re-
markably rich mining claims,
which will loom up in the near fu-
ture. He went down to San Diego
yesterday, overland, to visit his
family. His frontier life has, if
possible, made him more attractive
and genial than was his wont of
old. He showed us some specimens
of silver ore from the Pioneer dis
trict, in Pinal county, which would
make miners eyes glisten with
delight, Astounding, as they do,
with leaf and wire silver.

Those Happy Dark Ages.

The fathers of the printing trade
accepted a grave responsibility in
exciting a world-that was intellec.
tually tranquil. TO us, looking
back upon them out of the light,
those so-called clark ages" look
sufficiently dreary. In tue inter-
walls of those active occupations
which are scarcely suitable to our
quieter modern tastes-feuds, fight
ing, fire-raising, rapine, rapes, etc.
it appears to us that time must
have dragged along very heavily.
In reality, to the mass of those who
knew no better, those times of uni
versal ignorance and torpidity
must have been at least negatively
agreeable. With the rare excep-
ton of some solitary student, of
some scheming churchman, or
some statesman in advance OF his
age, we may take it for granted
that nobody thought very deeply.
There was no wear and tear or the
mental .fibres, and consequently
there were none of those painful
nerve diseases that fill our asylums
and are transmitted by descent.
So the stomach had a similar i'm
munity from strain, and the unim-
paired digestion was never troubled
by abstruse thought or far-fetched
anxleties-which, by the way, was
a most beneficent provision ofPre~-
idence, when we remember the
character of the medieval cuisine
and the habits of feasting among
the rich and idle. What passed for
thought with society was the me.
chanical action of the languid
brain working in the narrowest
circles of its immediate interests.
Concern with o future state
was the special care of the
clergy; the Church had settled the
dogmas which the devout had only
to receive. Gurth, the swineherd,
for example, in his lively phllolog-
icaI chat with Wanda, the jester,

A Mountain of Ice.
Nv heeliug Register.

The ice mountain Of Preston
county, West Virginia, is Il great
natural curiosity. We went to
Rowesburg, then. by team three
miles up Cheat river, past Vicks-
burg, and came out upon the North
western pike. Following it two
miles west we came to the ice
mountain, situated on the right
flank of Flag Run, one-half mile
from the pike. A picnic party was
being held at the base of the noun.
tain. After refreshing ourselves
with q very cold drink of water
from the Twin Springs, we ascend
ed the side of the mountain for
some distance and arrived at the
ice field. 1t is claimed that the ice
mountain was discovered by SOL
diers in the spring of 1861. Its dis.
covery was afterward reported, but
persons supposed the discoverer
was only trying TO hoax some one
into making fruitless trip up the
mountain. No credence was given
to the story until lately, when re-
sponsible parties visited the local
ity. On the north side of the mouL-
tain about n quarter Of an acre is
covered with a mass OF loose, uIi-
stratilied rock, none of which are
of any considerable size. All was
covered with heavy mass of moss,
which now is torn of. No trees
grow upon it, only here and there
few small bushes. Removing
the loose rock, ice is discovered in
small quantities. A thermometer
stood 80 in the sun, so degrees in
the shade, and AZ degrees when
placed in the rocks on the ice in
their crevices. A cold air is pres
ent in the ere, ices, but go strong,
freezing current, as reported. Hun
dreds have visited it The rocks
are torn up and the ice is only OBJ
tanned now by going down some
little depth in the rocks. We sup
pose, from observation, that the
mountain is mostly a vast heap OF
rocks, q portion of whose west side
is more broken and loose than the
rest. The porous nature of this
portion would admit through its
moss covering q considerable
amount of water, which, infiltrat-
ing between the stone, would form
ice in just the manner we find it.
The ice thus formed would be pro-
tected from all external tempera-
ture by the non-conducting proper
ties of the vast surrounding mass
Of rock. The ice mountain, we
would suppose, is nothing but a
huge natural stone refrigerator.
The common refrigerator depends
for its preservation Of the ice upon
the good on.conductive materials
of its sides. So the ice mountain
naturally, though wonderfully,
preserves permanently its ice by
the vast mass of rock-good non
conducting material-w which forms
its sides. An ice mountain, SINH
lar in many respects to this one is
in Hampshire county, on North
River, few miles east of Romney.
Divesting the Preston county ice
mountain of its marvellous charac-
ter that exaggerated accounts have
given it, it stands wonderful but
plainly possible result of natural
| laws.

the Saxon,is among the most fanc.-
full and unlikely creations of the
rich genius of Scott. We may be
sure that he knew or cared about
nothing beyond the pigs that were
his particular charge, or the bodily
sensations of the moment. Even
the thrall's hot-headed master, or
the ighboring Baron of TorquiI-
stone, had no moro the habit of
consecutive thought than mon
key whom mood of apparent PR .
occupation, makes u clutch at
com panion's tail, or turns away
energetlcally in an insect chase. 1t
IL next to impossible nowadays to
realize the condition of the noble
man Or county squire, unable to
read or to write, who CROPPED his
way from the cradle to the grave in
the profoundest mental darkness.
He never troubled his head about
foreign politics unless he were per-
sonally summoned to serve beyond
seas; or when some strolling way
farer, like Wilfrid of Ivanhoe,
brought news Of the wars in
France or Palestine. Nor did he
concern himself much more about
domestic broils. unless they SEEM
ed likely to cost him his head, or
bring him some addition to his do
mains. Such conversation rs there
was over the heavy barqueting,
beyond remarks on the cooking of
the joints and the quality of the
heady liquors, turned generally on
matters immortal or parochial. The
guests grew excited over the en-
enactment of some neighbor on
the rights of free-frontery, the
latest deed of audacity of the near
est band of outlaws, a raid on the
droves of swine, or a murrain in
the herds of cattle. Men were
forced to drink hard and long after
supper, since there was nothing
else to be done, and so the heavy
brains became slowly sodden, and
still more insensIble to intellectual
stimulants. BtdckWood'S Mag.
