Al California Merr =.

WASHINGTON, April 2--Tn converse
tion with Congressman Berry to-day your
correspondent called his attention TO state
ments in several California papers that he
will be candidate for denomination for
Congress and that he will not be y candi~
date for. nomination as Governor. Berry
emphatically replied that the facts are
practically the reverse Of those statements.
He says it Is well understood by his friends
that he will not allow his name to be used
again as candidate for Congress. He
further says. that. although he had not de-
sired 70 announce himself as 4 candidate
for Governor, his friends in California
fully understood his views on thatsubject
also and will present his name to the De-
mocratfc State Convention for that posi-
ton. and should he be nominated by his
party to.uphold their ticket 10 Governor,
he Srill accept the nomination and make q
vigorous campaign, He also freely said
to-day that he believed that the statements
above referred 10 have emsnated from per-
sons who would perfer that he should not
be candidate for Governor, ..#
The Congressional Record of yesterday,
contains 3 speech, which Berry obtained
leave 10 print a. his remarks on the ques-
tion Of extending the National Bank
charters. In his prepared speech he
elaborate1y argues that Congress should
pass law substituting treasury notes for
National Bank notes redeem Government
bonds to The. extent of the present bank
circulation and discontinue all banks of is
sue atthe end of twenty years from the
da6e oftho law Sunder which they were
organized. He also takes the ground that
we should promptly revise the tariff on
just and equitable basis, neither in the in
terest Of free trade nor Of protection, but
with a view TO producing the greatest
amount OF revenue tax, especially upon
Nhiskey and tobacco, and to extinguisl1 the

Australian HOrsemanship.

It has been claimed by Australians that

Gen. Grants Sweetheart.

Hearing that there was a lady living in
this city who had once been conrted by
General u. S. Grant and who had refused
her hand in early Womanhood to this noted
American civil and military character, a
Constitution reporter sought an interview
}witIl#the lady, with satisfactory results.
The newspaper representative found the
early sweetheart of Grants to be lady
considerably advanced in years, yet still
large, active and buogant, and not nearly
so reticent as the General. She had not
seen General GrBnt since the 50s, she said,
aud then his father carried on a tannery In
Portsmouth, Ohio. She once had occasion
TO reside for a time in the family of'a far
mer whose farm joined that OF Grants
father-only line Of fence between-and
it was during her stay at this farmhouse
that she was courted by General Grant. 1t
must have been III the SpringtIme, for she

beautiful flowers.

How Mineral Veins are Formed
and Filled.

It is stated that the theory OF sedinnentary
precipitation in Waters4ls the enc adopted
by Weiser This theory Is, that-al1 mineral
in the gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, iron,
and all other metals were in some remote
period, In state Of solution. The theory,
the reasoning Of which we are. condensing
from the Professors communication. Is
based upon certain facts: First, IS ia we'll
known, the water Of the sea now holds in
solution, more gold and silver than are
found on dry land. Prof. Smith, Of the
London University, says that eYey ton Of
water on the globe contains from one to
two grains Of gold. Now, when the crust
of the earth was very thin and the heat Of
the internal fires very great, and the seas
and the lakes, perhaps in. = batIing condi-
tion, the minerals were held In solution by
the water. AS the cooling process went on
these were deposited, together with calcte,
felstte, quartzite, spar aud other gangue
metals at the bottom of ponds, lakes and
seas, reduced TO oxy(ies, csrbonates, sui
pIlurcts, etc, by natural chemical pro-
cesses, and atterward brought to metalic
state by heat. The dry lan(. npheayals
were going on during long ages. The
various deposits took place, not simultan-
eously, but gradually aud at different
periods. When the uietamornIlie age
poured the melted rock material oft Of the
drained lakes and seas, metallic veins were
formed and their contents covered up often
hundreds Of feet under soIid rock. Then
the pent up fires Of the intefiaIScsrtIl broke
through the thicker crust, ana threw up
the mountain ranges just AS we see them
to-day, with their veins OF gold, silver and
other metals. Tile depth Ot The vein will
be graduated by the extent and depth Of
the lakes or seas in Which they were form
ed. This accounts for the fast, that all
true fissure veins nIst have rocks of diff
ferent kinds on different sides. &c the
tissures had been made by shrinking Of the
rocks in cooling, the rock would OF feourse
be the same ON both sides olshe vein.
This il brief analysis Of the aqueaous
theory which is given to aid in forming
correct theories, and with them, correct
methods Of observation in both the dis
eoyery and working of mines.

aeziye il the last Presidential campaign.
Y2p. may also have heard thut he was cred
ted with carrying the State of Indiana.
We'll, Gen. Garfield and Dorsey were al.
ways warm friends, and when the first
noise was made about indictments Dorsey
came to Washington and went directly to
the White House. He wanted to know
Just what was going to be done-W1lether
the friends who helped co elect the Adj
ministratlon were going 70 be prosecuted
or let alone. Gen. Garfield told his visitor
to be easy in his mind, to go back to-Ets
ranch III New Mexico, be patient, and no
harm would come to him.
Dorsey acted on this advice, but after a
lime there was SO much newspaper ts i
duDAb tllS ptpSC1tat1OAiS <eAAo AhiNsASl11A%''te
that he became scared, left his ranch and
came on again to Washington. He went
GO the President and said: 'This thing IS
worrying me terribly. Ny wife is suffer-
ing agonies. I want to know once for all
what this amounts to-
ssThe President got up, and, IN bis usual
demonstratiye manner, placed bis arm
around Dorsey and said: Now, old fellow,
| will show you my friendshipin this mat
ttr. You go back to your room at the
r ggs and wait for a friend of mine whom
/ will send to you Dorsey went to his
room. General Garfield then sent tor Mr..
Mac Veagh, and asked to have all#his pa
pers and memoranda of evidence against
Dorsey sent to him for his own inspection.
Mr.. MacVeagh handed him the papers, as
requested, and in an hour afterward one of
the Presidents private secretaries carried
the documents to Dorser's room at the
Riggs House and allowed him to examine
them thoroughly. Dorsey made careful
notes, and knowing all that the Govern
ment prosecution had against him, has
