Sonor Juan Alvitroi, who has just return' U to the City of Mexico, from an imploring exjHjtlition in tho southwestern part of the repnhlic ropurla thut ho hml fmiml n city which h.nl ncrer Ihwu ontereil hy n while man, ami which has evnlont- ly Itcon in otiU.nce for htimlresls of! tlmt elms of inon who have capital years, join buck Iteforo tint time of j ami who make, milling their avoea the ooni.uesl of tho country hy the thn. Coal crojH up on every other Srtanianls. It is nn old AteeUwn. ranch in this roifion. hut the farm- ami the approaches to it are so well . . . . . . guarded by nature that it is nn im Kiwihility to roach it if the iuhahi-tiint-i do not Wiuit the traveler to net in. It Ho in ft lmot inncecssihlo umuntatiiR, far away from eivilixi (ion. Hy nccident, Alvnrex lcainc atraru tlmt it city wan in the vicinity nit 1 then hi endeavor.) to roach it were unavailing on account of the pjrsistcnt opnsition of the native-). He had lioon traveling over the in nnilahis in search of an outlet to th ) INteilio Ooean when he caino to tho top of an elevated plateau nnd cro-uwil to the further clgo. He hid a in igntlieent view, an I, while lo iking ovor tho ountry ho saw w-liat he toik to be homes in the f.ir distant vallev. He at once Hot nl'iout to reiicli the place. After days of hard work, climbing over olill'a and mountains, he reached a place from which he obtained a good view of the city, and saw that it was regulnrlv laid out in streets and was in-upled with a race who knew Something about civilization. The houses were of stone and were surrounded by yard in which were growing (lowers and shruhs. A careful examination of the country showed him that tho city wan within a natural amphitheatre anil was accessible from one Hide only. He saw that the only means of access wan through a long and narrow defile which led into the mountain.-; from the Pacific coast side, and he (started to reach the place where he could find this en trance. Ho made an outline draw ing of the city as it appeared to him from the distant mountain top, and this in all that he barf to show that there is a city within the mountain.--), for he was never allowed to reach the spot. From the drawing it is plain that tb'! city has not less than -1,000 in habitants. The houses are all of Mono and arc supplied with doors and windows. In the city is a building which was undoubtedly the temple of worship, for on its walls could be seen sculptured de signs rcjirei'enting the Deity, It was in the shape of the ancient To ocalli, which are to be found in many parts of this country, and the people could lie seen passing in and out of it during all hours of the day. After ten (lays' arduous work, Alvarez found himself at the foot of the mountains on the western slope, and H't about searching for the canyon leading to the city. He found the entrance, but was mot by a band of Indians who refused to lot him proceed. They otl'ered him no violence, but insisted that he should return. He told them that he had come over the mountains and ilid not know how to get back After n consultation be was told that be would have to remain u while a a prisoner, mid two runners were cnt into tho mountains, who returned in a day with orders from someone in authority, and Alvarez wan blindfolded and placed on the back of a mule. He traveled in this condition for three davs only having his bandages removed from his eyed at night. On the fourth day no was told to remove the band age, and when he did so ho found himself an the Iwrders of the 1'ncillc Ocean. The Indians had gone, leaving him with nothing to guide him back to the place where he had seen tho oity. lteproeentrttivo Watson, of (leorg ia, 1ms introduced a resolution in structing tliu house committee on the judiciary to investigate the l'inkerUni dutoctivo agency; to ex amine its character; to impure into its 111. -thuds and purses; to ascer tain the numlier of armed men it maintains; niton what terms those men are used or can be einnloyod as militia, and to report whether such orgaiiiiation, cither in it char acter or iU operations, violates tho constitution of the Tinted Status. The preamble recites that such an agency is known to exist in certain statue, and is said to maintain 1111 armed force of .'WXl men, whose pur jHise is to act as militia in certain states totpicil disturbances between employers and employes by tho use of force and bloodshed. l'he pre amble, in conclusion, saytstlmt such an organisation is liablu to bo usl for the most dangerous ohjuots, and is adverse to tin civil institutions of tliid country. OKKOON'S COAL l'U-2 1. US. Fresh ooal llnils nil along the John Ihty ami tributaries demon strate I icy owl the shallow of a dotiht that this ,mrt of Oregon is literally teeming with coil, says tho Fossil Journal, ami that .1 liohl of suniass- 1 I inn richness awaita tho attention of! 1 . ers ure not ttossessetl of moans silli- clout to develop their discoveries, j and thus untold riches continue to j cumber the ground. Hut it is not , always to Ik s-o. Pessimists there j imt who oonlldently assert that each sueeensivo find is only a slide. ; When coal was first discovered l.'t miles from bore 'twas only a slide; J when (!eo. Metteor struck remark- j ably pure coal in the Imttotn of his 1 well in town 'twas only a slide; when t-Uant Dement excavated on Itutto creek and brought to town nuggets of coal 'twas only a slide; here and there along the river be twoi'ii here and Dayvillo excellent coal has ltcen unearthed, there ing two or throe .well-defined veins at tho latter place but, you know, they are all slides. And now tho same croakers reiterate, concerning the newly found John Day coal All foolishness! It's nothing but a slide. To all these wu replv: In the name of goodness, if this vast coal field, extending over 100 mile, is a slide, where did it slide from? And, granting it lo In- a slide, what does it matter? I,eSs slides than 100 mile slides have got there before now, and, depend, upon it, Iwfuro many years have passed lCastcrn Oregon's coal fields will have slid into prominence, and this one in dustry will give Oregon siuh a boost as all her other industries combined cannot give her. A Dark Horse 1'iom the West. It is said by those who profess to be well informed that tpiite a num ber of gentlemen are hoping to be chosen presidential candidates this year. It is further rcwrted that these gentlemen are greatly perturb ed by tho direful, doleful and awful uncertainty which hangs ovor their patriotic aspirations. Mr. Harrison appears to be out wardly calm, but his pulse probably runs high up into the nineties. Mr. Itlaine is sure of tho nomination if he wants it, but he prefers to wait a bit before committing himself to the embrace of jnipiilar enthusiasm. Mr. ( leveland muntaius unpene trable cilonco, but is by no means iiidillercnt to tho prospects of the future. Mr. Hill on the contrary, has taken the whole world into his confidence, ami says, by the broad est intimations, that he wants to 1m president, and will do his best to win tho day. Many of those hopes, however, are doomed to disappointment. Tho next candidate of the republican partv will be Itlaine, and no 0110 olso. Tho candidate of tho demo cratic party will hail from tho West and for the present is a dark horse. If tho democrats see that, they see a good deal, and the probability is that they will soe victory. Now York Herald. New Use (or the Telephone. 'Tho telephone is alsjut to have a new application, namely, that of foretelling storms. A new discovery has been made as to one of the properties of this means of trans mitting sound. Hy placing two iron bars at seven or eight meters distance from each other and then putting them in communication on one side by a copKr wire cover ed with rubber ami on the other hide with a telephone, a storm can, it is said, bo predicted at least twelve hours ahead through a dead sound heard in tho receiver. Ac cording as the storm advances tho sound resembles the beating of hail stones against tho windows. Kvcry Hash of lightening, and of course every clap of thunder that accomp anies a storm, jinx hires a shock similar to that of a stone cast be tween the diaphragm and the in strument." This paragraph, which wo ox tract from a coiiteniHrary, is going the rounds of the pajiers as a fresh item of information. It is pleasing to nolo that tho "discovery" was made as long ago as ISIS, and that tho Scientific American of that your and tho following year contains several accounts of experiments in tho winiu direction.

An Eastern dispatch says: First Lieutenant Uorke, of the Second cavalry, of the Tinted states army, was a pnscetigcr on a day express Imund for Washington. He came direct from tho I'ine Hidge agency, where he has ImX'ii attending to some allairs of the government and looking over the field. He will now make his roHirt of tin condition of the Indians at that Hgency to Sec. rotary Noble, and preparations will 1k made to suppress any outbreak "Trouble is brewing anion the Indians of the Fine Hidge agency," said he, "and it is uiv linn belief they will soon start another crusade ngaiiHt thi' whites. I have sM-nt some time among thorn, and when I left there a few days ago they were sullen and at times very ugly, and made ox-u threats against the whites. If it were not for the fact that they are now largely deendent on tho government for food, fuel and clothing for the winter, they would rise up in arms at any mom ent." They are again talking alwut the Megsiah, and it will not tie long Ik? fore the ghost dance will again be resumed throughout the agency.
