The WATER SPoUTs OF THE GREAT BAsIN.-One
Of the most remarkable phenomena of the great
interior basin of Western America, between the
Sierra Neyadas, is the water spouts, or great
masses of water that fall suddenly out Of the
clouds, and tear down the valleys like tornado
OF water. A late Virginia (Neyada) paper SAYS
The citizens of Dayton were thrown into a
state Of excitement the day before by the news
from Ell Dorado canon that water spout had
burst, and was destroying everything in its mad
dened course, as it swept along the Carson river
Piles of wood were carried away as if they were
bundles of straw, and it is supposed that number
Of woodchoppers who reside in the canon have
been lost, as there were great many persons en-.
gagged in woodcutting there. This water spout
equals the one which occurred in Esmeralda
county two years ago, when party consisting of
Mr.. Hugh Glenn, his wife and mother, were trav-
cling in carriage. The water spout burst upon
them, killing Glenn's wife and mother, and de.
ssroylng the carriage. One of the horses was so
badly injured that he died shortly after Last
week water spout broke in Austin (Nevada) and
for short time the main street was flooded, de-
stroying adobe houses, injuring stores ETC. The
amount of damage was several thousand dollars
These water spouts account for the typographical
appearance of the country, which shows that they
have been quite frequent; and the large boulders
that are seen isolated on alkali flats and deserts
no doubt, have been washed there by water

The PRICE OF GAs.-The following suitable ar
tcle, on the subject Of the inordinate charge for
gas, is from the Chicago Republican. Let cur
readers substitute "New Orleansn for "Chicago, =
and the article fits our case exactly:
Three well known citizens of Cincinnati recently
visited and investigated the affairs of the Pitts
burg gas works, for the purpose of acquiring in
formation as to the actual cost of making gas
with special reference to the proposed purchase
OF the cincinnati gas works by the city, which is
to be voted upon at q special election next week,
me results OF the inv estigation are well worthy
the attention Of the people of Chicago. There is
no city IN the Union of similar population whose
ei1izens are 50 ourageously imposed upon in the
matter OF gas as are the people of Chicago. We
are compelled to pay So so per thousand for gas
of poor quality, while it is shown that it costs
only 9l3 cents thousand to manufacture it in
Pittsburg. It's probable the cost would be some.
what increased here, but only to a comparatively
thrilling extent, while the proceeds of coke and
coal tar would far exceed the receipts at Pitts
burg enough, or nearly enough, to euualize the
difference in the cost of coal. There is, perhaps,
three times the amount of gas consumed in Chi
cago that the Pttsburgers burn, which would still
more reduce the proportioRate cost.
The Plttsburg Gas Company is limited to ten
per cent. dividends. 1t furnishes the city with
l2,500,0O0 cubic feet annually, free ofcharge, and
all over this amount burned by the public lights
is furnished at seventy-fve cents per thousand
while private customers are supplied at 81 60 per
thousand. THESE are wholesome figures for the
consideration of residents of Chicago Our PEG.
pie might have gas furnished them at very small
advance over these prices, instead of being forced
to pay the unreasonable price of So so per thou.
sand, to swell the dividends of the gas companies
who now monopolize its manufacture.
There IS no good reason why the city of Chi.
cage should not furnish the people with gas, as
well as with water. In very few years, after
the works had been paid for out of the profits, at
far more reasonable rate of supply than that
now paid, by owning their own works the people
Of Chicago might burn gas at cost little if any
to exceed 81 95 per thousand. soYast difference
is surely worth great efforts to secure. Let our
citizens take this subject in hand, and see if some
relief. We do not know the quantity of gas con.
sumed annually in Chicago; it is probably not far
short OF 10000, 900 of cubic feet The difference
in cost at the present figures and what it can Be
produced for, is an item well worth saving

There EXISTS at home an army
which is not actuated by the feelings
that move the men comprising the
armies Of Grant and Sherman-men
who were ready to grasp the hands of
their late antagonists, as soon as those
hands were no longer raised against
the Government. There exists among
us political party, which, for the pur-
pose fretaining power, has prevented
the complete restoration of the Union
which we understand to have been
the sole object of the war-a party
which would hold a portion of the
States in subsection, teaching the rising
generation IA both sections lessons of
hatred and jealousy, instead of seek
ing to make them forget the bitter
past, and becoming, as they must be-
come, if our Union is ever to become
of value, one people in interest and
feeling. This party, until Congress
assembled, Indignantly denied any in
tention of postponing the restoration
OF the Union, and appealed to the peo-
pie for support, on the ground of being
the only faithful and reliable friends Of
the President and his policy This
mask has now been dropped, and the |
