NEW York: June 19.-The steamer
Sophie, arrived today, reports having
found in mid-ocean the bark Exile, of st.
John, N. B., dismasted and hopeless
wreck. The crew were lashed to the
bulwarks and stumps of the masts. The
crew OF the Sophie was called on for vol
unteers. The officers, who were all
Germans, responded promptly, but the
crew, who were all Italians, refused to
go. Not considering that it was wise to
leave the steamer without officers, the
captain of the steamer lay by until the
storm moderated. Then he called for
volunteers, but the Italians again re-
fused to go. The German officers
manned a boat, and with the greatest
difficulty succeeded in rescuing the crew
of the bark.

NEW RIVER.
A Government Official Notes 1t Forty
Years Ago.

xedlS ago.
In June, 1852, j. r. Bartlett, United
States commissioner, crossed the Col
orado desert from San Diego to Yuma.
Speaking of New river, on page 1876,
volume 2, of his personal Narrative"
he says:
"About twenty-five miles back from
this place (Alamo Mocho) we crossed a
ravine or arroyo some twenty or thirty
feet wide, and about ten feet below the
surface of the desert, that forms the bed
of what is known as the New river.
Three or four years ago-1848 or 1S49-
this ravine was filled with water, as we'll
as large basin connected with it. The
water suddenly appeared here, and by
passing emigrants was hailed as mir
acle and direct interposition of Divine
Providence, like the mama furnished
to the Israelites of old.
"This phenomenon is now we'll known
to proceed from the Colorado river,
which some years rises to great
height, overlooking its banks and the
adjacent valley. and sometimes running
back through lagoons and depressions
in the desert for many miles. 1t was
one of these great uprisings of the river
that caused the sudden appearance of
the mysterious New river of the desert,
which remained two years and then
dried up. BY similar inundations the
great basin at Alamo Mocho has doubt
less been, and may again be filed"

THE GOVERNOR.
He Talks About Burns's Appointment
and Other Matters.

The Sacramento correspondent OF the
San Francisco Examiner, under date OF
the 4th, gives the following statement
from Governor Markham:
Governor Markham was interviewed
by an Examiner correspondent this
afternoon in reference to Col. Daniel NJ
Burns's leave of absence, and other mat
ters appertaining to that gentlema n's
appointment as police commissioner.
The governor spoke in disinterested
manner, but with an emphatic tone,
signifying that he knew what be was
doing and that his actions in the matter
were strictly according to the letter OF
the law.
II wish to say" said the governor,
"that l have granted Mr.. Burns sixty
days leave of absence, although un-
derstand he will return within q month.
Mr.. Higgins will return, at least, in four
weeks"
Referring to his right of making the
appointment as governor of the state,
he said:
"All during the summer months Mr..
Higgins and myself examined into the
laws relating to who had the power OF
making such appointments, an came
to the conclusion that such right was
vested in the governor. made the ap-
pointments of the board of health and
police commission on my judgment de-
rived from that investigation. 1 think
it is the law, and OF course must fulfill
my duties"
The governor has been continually
closeted in his private Office and has
kept closely at his desk, as the absence
of Private Secretary Higgins compels
him to do more work, although Execu-
tive Secretary Johnson is kept very
busy.
Governor Markham has now under
consideration the appointments OF trus-
tees for the state normal school at San
Jose, Agnews insane asylum, and direct
ors OF the various agricultural societies
throughout the state. These appoint
ments will be made during the course
of this month.
