. 440 the cutter is adjustable eccentrically, and is held by a dovetailed groove and tenon. The cylindrical core is solid, and the center point is removable. The spiral has a sharp edge. The adjustment of the cutter on its eccentric pivot varies its radial sweep in boring, and it is thereby adapted to bore a hole of the required size, within the limit of its capacity. Countersink. Among the other uses of augers may be mentioned that of felling trees in the Mammoth Grove, Calaveras County, California. This grove is in a gently sloping valley, heavily timbered, situated on the divide or ridge between the San Antonio branch of the Stanislaus River, in latitude 38° north and longitude 120° 10′ west, and 5,200 feet above the level of the sea; here, within an area of about eighty acres, and high above the surrounding trees of the forest, can be seen the stately heads of these evergreen forest giants, the Sequoia gigantea. These trees are now growing in many parts of Great Britai

owing the war was an era of self-discovery. America was as full of new and interesting life and environment as even Europe, and for two decades and more American writers exploited the strange new riches of the land as the first wave of placer miners excitedly rifle the nugget pockets of a new-found bonanza. Eagerly the public read of the picturesque conditions that had evolved from the California rush of '49; it wondered at the new world that Mark Twain revealed in his Jumping frog of Calaveras County, and that Cable opened in old Creole New Orleans, and at the grotesque Hoosier types revealed by Eggleston; it thrilled with astonishment at Charles Egbert Craddock's pictures of the dwellers in the Tennessee Mountains, and at Octave Thanet's revelations of life in the canebrakes of Arkansas; and it lingered over the Old South before the war as revealed by Johnston, and Harris, and Page. Never was movement launched with more impetus. No sooner had The luck of Roaring camp reached th

nt from Virginia, the youth had lived from his fourth until his eighteenth year on the banks of the Mississippi. He had learned the printer's trade, had wandered east and back again, had served for four years as a river-pilot on the Mississippi, and had tried to enter the Confederate army. Then came the six crowded years, chiefly as newspaper reporter, in the boom times of Nevada and California. His fame began with the publication in New York in 1867 of The celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. A newspaper now sent him to Europe to record what he sees with his own eyes. He did so in Innocents abroad, and his countrymen shouted with laughter. This, then, was Europe after all-another fake until this shrewd river-pilot who signed himself Mark Twain took its soundings! Then came a series of far greater books-Roughing it, Life on the Mississippi, The Gilded age (in collaboration), and Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn --books that make our American Odyssey, rich in the spirit o

it to the daily press, reworking it into book form, inventing his own type-setting machinery, and controlling his own printing, publishing, and selling agencies. He did not foresee this all in 1866; but it must have begun to dawn. By repeating his Sandwich Islands lecture widely in California and Nevada he provided himself with means to travel, and revisited his home, returning by way of Panama and New York. In May, 1867, he published his first book, The celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and other sketches, and lectured in Cooper Institute. Then on 8 June he sailed on the, Quaker City for a five months excursion through the Mediterranean to the Holy Land, first reported in letters to The Alta-California and the New York Tribune, and immortalized by his book Innocents abroad. On 2 February, 1870, he married his most sympathetic reader and severest censor, Olivia Langdon of Elmira, New York, a sister of one of the Quaker City pilgrims who had shown him her photograph i

Abernethey, Clark & Co., extensive lumber dealers, of this city, have failed for a large amount. They have been engaged for many years in the business, and received their supplies principally from Oregon. All the candidates for U. S. Senator are invited to address a meeting of the Legislature and the public at San Francisco this evening, on the state of the Union. It is believed that some of them will respond to the invitation. An effort is making among the Douglas members of the Legislature to hold a caucus on Tuesday or Thursday of next week to nominate a Senatorial candidate. An incendiary fire occurred at Sacramento on the 24th, destroying a large boarding- house, known as the "Palace." The inmates barely escaped with their lives. Loss about $150,000. Two tons of average copper ore, from Calaveras county, have been assayed in this city, proving to contain gold, silver and copper at $112 per ton, the proportion of gold and silver being about $14 to the ton.
