Tue New York correspondent of the San
Francisco Call, telling how people get rich,
says;
The Daily Word newspaper, here, has lost
one of lbs original founders, Alexander
Cummings. The World was started year
or SO ago as "pious daily" by stock
company composed of aiiluent men who de
sired TO have religious daily paper. Cum
mings, who had been the publisher of the
Evening Bulletin, 10 Philade lphia, was i'm.
ported to this city for manager of the
World. Over Sl50,00O was sunk in the en-
terprse before the saints discovered that
journalism and piety were distinct things
and could no more proGtably mix than
oil and water. Finally, the Courier
and Enquirer was about TO give up the
ghost, when Col. Webt secured mission
abroad, and the World bought up Webb's
paper and "annexed" IT, Still IL did not
pay. But Cummings bad been the bosom
friend Of Simon Cameron, the Secretary of
War, for years. Cameron, therefore, gave
Cummings private appointment TO pur-
chase and hire vessels make contracts, etc.,
for the War Department, although two Of
ficers OF the regular army were here, in
health, fully competent aud left with moth
ing 10 do by this arrangement. What car.
ed Cameron? He wanted to enrich Cum
mings, and be did il. The Investigating
Committee shows The most extraordinary
acts in this connection. Cameron placed
two millions of dollars at Cumming COM
mand; asked for no vouchers; cared moth
ing for the prices demanded, aud you can
imagine the rest. Cummings is now a mil
liOuare. He has left this World and is 90.
ing TO a betLer--I mean that be has retired
from the newspaper and is going 10 Europe
for recreation.

A WAGGIsH JURY.-Tbe recent Grand
Jury were somewhat waggsh in their dispo-
siliOn. Eleven Of them sold the twelfth, by
sending out for what purported to be bot
tie of whieky, but was pure cold water. Az
ter drinking hearty from the bottle against
the indignant expOstUlations of The twelfth
man, and extolling its qualities, they en-
deavored, but without avail, to induce him
to drink. After the jury we're discharged,
The "sold" man called upon the District
Attorney TO enter complaint against the
conduct of the jury. The bottle was secured
from where it bad been placed, but on ex.
animation the trick leaked out by portion
of the water still remaining. The jury has
not yet been indicted!-[Stockton Dem.

FL GODS ANTICIPATED IN THE CODUMBIA.--
The Portland (Oregon) Advertiser, of re-
cent date, says:
We suggest to all parties interested TO be
prepared for an unusual food in the COlum-
bia and Willamette rivers, as the snow 10
the mountains bordering on the Columbia
aud Snake rivers is deeper this season than
at any period 10 the memory OF the oldest
settler. In 1853, the snow at the Dalles
was but three feet deep, and now it is five.
In 1859 there was but about two feet of snow
at Walla Walla or the Dales. but on the
mountains it was ten or twelve feet. and
that year the Columbia very nigh sub
merged the Dalles. What may not be an-
ticipated then, when the snow both at the
Dalles aud on the mountains is deeper than
ever known before. We ray, be prepared
for any emergency.

THE RECENT DROWNING on CARSON RIV.
ER.-The Silver Age, speaking of this dis
aster at Sprouts mill, by which six persons
were drowned Ou the 10th January, says:
Dayton, Bramer, Peris and the two fe-
males sunk at ouce; Andrews, after swim
ming half mile, sunk and never rose alive;
Brett succeeded in reaching the shore; Nil.
Ter gained a footing on some drifiwOod and
after remaining in that position some five
hours, he was picked up by two boatmeD.
Since bis rescue, Miller has been in dying
condition. The fifteen men left on the isl
aod remained until Monday noon. The
mail and what remained Of the dwelling
house was swept away few minutes after
the party Of six started. Even the massive
batteries, containing over 6,OOO pounds Of
iron, went dancing away like a cork.

SALMON RIVER CHANCEs.-A letter in the
Oregon Statesman, Of the 9th January says
ian old Oregonian just retured from the
Salmon river mines, says there are some
rich diggings there, but not enough TO go
around. If $4,000 people go there, as now
appears probable, he says about one 10 fifty

A GENTLEMAN from Cheat Mountain tells
the following: A squad of Indiana volun-
teers, out scouting, came across an old lady
in log cabin 10 the mountains. After the
usual salutations one of them asked her:
"Well, old lady, are you seceshT' "No,"
was her answer. "Are you UniOny' "No."

The DEATH OF ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON
There is evidently Misrepresentation in
the public mind in reference to the circum-
stances connected with the death of AL
bert Sidney Johnston. The writer of this
paragraph was on the battlefield of Shi-
lob, on Sunday, the 18th inst, and was so
highly favored as to form one of q party
who were conducted over the battle field
by Generals McCook and Crittenden on
that day. General McCook was very COM
municative on the occasion, and pointed
ont many Interesting localities as the party
rode over the ground. On the route Gene
raj McCook halted Us at the precise point
at which Governor George W. Johnston,
of Kentucky, was mortally wounded Gen.
McCook was the first Federal officer who
met the rebel Provisional Governor after
be had fallen. He approached Mr. John
ston, and taking him up in his arms as be
lay upon the ground, aSked him his name.
Mr.. Johnston told him that he was George
w. Johnston, of Kentacky, and asked of
General McCook his name. He then asked
General MeCook if he was Mason, the
General replying in the affirmative. .Mrt
johnston then asked to be permitted to
have a private interview with the Gene |
raj, which was granted. i. Subsequently an |
ambulance containing the body of Gen. /
Albert Sidney Johnston was driven by,1
the vehicle having been abandoned by the /
rebels, and Governor Johnston. after an in |
spection, informed Gen McCook that the
body was that of Albert Sidney Johnston 1
Gen. Johnston received but a single wound,
which was from musket ball, and near
the right eye. Gen. McCook did not state
whether the body was buried upon the bat
tle-feld or restored to the rebel army un-
der flag of truce. The above, however,
Is correct report of the statement made
Oy Gen. McCook in the presence of seve-
ral gentlemen. Gen. Johnston may haYeth
oeen wounded early in the fight on Sunday;
be may have died in Col. Preston's arms;
ind his body may have been sent south for
nterment; but his remains were in the
hands of the Federal troops on Monday,
he 7th inst, and it is the writer's opinion
hat they were buried upon the field OF
Shiloh by the Federal troops. Louisville

NEW ORLEANS, 1892. -
The Mississippi is fortified SO as to be i'm
passable for any hostile feet or fottilIa.-
Forts Jackson and st. Phillip are armed
with one hundred and seventy guns (sixty-
three Founders, rit1ed by Darkly Britten.
and received from England The naviga-
ton of the river is stopped by dam about
a quarter of mile from the above ports
No lotilla on earth could sorce that dam in
less than two hours, during which it would
be within short and cross range of one
hundred and seventy guns of the heaviest
calibre, many of which would be served
with red hot shot, numerous furnaces for.
which have been erected in every fort and
battery r ~ -.s 0...sse.fsl =.
In day or two we shall have ready two
iroh-cased feating batteries. The plates
four and half inches thick, of the best
hammered iron, received from England and
France, Each ironed-cased battery viii
mount 60-pounders, placed so as to skim
the water, and strike the enemy's hull be-
tween wind and water. We have an
abundant supply of incendiary shells, cupo-
la furnaces for molten iron, eongreve rock
cts and freships.
Between. New Orleans and the forts there
is constant succession of earthworks. At
the Plain of Chalmette, near Janin's prop
erty, there are redoubts, armed with rifled
cannon, which have been found to be effec-
tive at Eve miles range. A ditch, thirty
feet wide and twenty deep, extends from
the Mississippi to LaCipriere. ast .se-
In forts St. Phillip and jackson there are
1000 men, of whom a goodly portion are
experienced artillerymen and gunners who
have served in the navy. y-a...G
At New Orleans itself we have 30, 900
infantry, and as many more quartered in
the immediate neighborhsod. In discipline
and drill they are far superior to the Yank-.
ees. We have two very able and active
Generals, who possess our entire confidence,
Generals Mansfield Lowell and Brigadier
General Ruggles. For Commodore we.
have old HELMS, a Nelson in his way.
