An interesting bit of news was
conveyed in the dispatches last week
from San Francisco, containing an
account of a fllibustering scheme to
work a revolution in Lower Califor-
MIA and to secure its independence
from the Mexican government.
Wealthy British capitalists who have
heavy investments there and a mil
ionaire merchant of San Francisco
are said to have been at the back of
it. The plot was unearthed by a
newspaper reporter just before the
revolution was ripe, and the result
will be that the property of the
plotters will be confscated and the
United States government will prob
ably be called on to make amende.

Progress Of the Work on the Van.
SlerI1ilt Estate.


The Vanderbilt house at Biltmorc, ac-
cording to the statement of gentleman
who recently saw the plans in New York,
will be the finest one on the continent.
Indeed it will be deserving of the term
palace rather than home, residence or
mansion. THE entire cost of the whole
Improvement will bc about 100000
That that sum expended as it will he,
with Judgment, taste and skill will pro-
ducc an artistic and splendid whole that
will advertise Ashevillc and North Caro-
lima the world over cannot be doubted.
The railroad from Biltmore to the
house site has been completed, with the
exception of several side tracks which
will bc put down along the route. A
tram road three fourths of mile long
will be built from the rock quarry to the
head of the railroad. A large plant for
the manufacture of brick and tile drain
is now being constructed at Biltmore.
The brick will Ike used for the inside walls
of the house, which will he of granite
and several millions will be needed. The
brick machine has a capacity of 25,OOO
per day. and the tile machine has ca
pacity for using the same amount OF clay
required for that number of brick. Sev'
cral miles of tile drain have been used in
the construction Of the road, and there
will be several miles more needed. A
tram road, with mules as the motive
power, will be built from the brick yard
to point mile down the river, where
the supply of clay for the brick and tile
will be obtained.
The improvements now being car.
ricd on at i,iltmorc will continue indcf-
nitcly, and it is not known how soon the
house will he commenced. Mr.. Wander
bit, with his mother and number Oi
friends, went to the end Of the new rail,
road few days ago. Mr.. Vanderbilt
will probably spend several weeks there,
as he is now living at the old J. B. Alex
andcr house. five miles from this city. a
quantity of marble was exhibited to MIR.
