ANOTHER WHEELBARRow BET. - Last
evening, an Irishman, living in the vicinity
Of Third and Folsom streets, got bantering a
druggist on the former street about his own
strength and agility. In the course Of the
conversation he offered to bet the druggist
two kegs Of lager beer that he could
wheel any wheelbarrow the druggist
might furnish the extent of a block inside of
two minutes. Another condition was, that
the barrow should be empty, and the wheel
kept on the sidewalk the entire distance.
The terms of the wager were reduced to
writing, and the parties stationed their time
keepers at the end Of the route. The strong
and swift man took off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves, and called on the druggist to bring
ont his wheelbarrow. The apothecary ran
into toy store and brought to the athlete
child's wheelbarrow, weighing about four
ounces and only five inches in length over all.
To such thing was impossible. A roar
went up from the crowd Of bystanders, and
the loser paid his wager.-S. F. Bulletin.

THE BEAR RIVER Cry GARRoTERs

THE BEAR RIVER CRY GARRoTERs.-
In the subjoined article from the From
tier Index of the 10th instant will be
found some of the particulars which
led to the recent disturbances at Bear
River City:
Sunday afternoon Tom Moylen got a little
tight, exposed his money, fell into the hands
of Jack O'Neil and c. c. Jones, who invei-
gled him into Weaver & Bailey's saloon,
where they proposed game Of cards for the
drinks. Moylen was beaten, and after pay
ing the bill sat down TO the table again.
Mr.. Bailey stepped out for moment to get
an armful of wood, when Jones knocked
Tom down and stamped in his face. O'Neil
at once sprang upon the PROSTATE victim and
rlfed his pockets of their contents. The
villains then left the house. When Mr..
Bailey returned he picked Tom up and i'm
mediateiy went in search of the police.
Officers Barnum and Rodepoaeh were soon
on the track Of the cut-throats, but succeeded
in arresting O'Neil only, Jones having fed
TO the mountains. Two dollars and half
was found in O'NeiPs pocket, and forty-'wo
dollars in the lining OF his coat. The culprit
was turned over. by Justice Henry, to the
sheriff of Wanship county. At eight o'clock
the same evening. while in the Bank Ex-
change, officer Upton overheard plot laid
by Jimmy Reed and confederate to garrote |
a party whose name we are unable to learn.
The rascals were watched closely, and soon
took the victim outside, when officer Upton |
went in search of Marshal Baruum. That
official was quickly found, as he always is in
cases of emergency, and succeeded in " cop
ping" the rutfian Reed "dead to rights"
Reed is desperate character, and fought
like tiger when the arrest was being made.
He was also turned over to the sheriff of
Wanship. Reeds confederate made his
escape. but without getting any money from
the garroted party. Great credit is due our
city officials for their promptness and efici-
sncy in these matters, and we can assure
hem their services are appreciated by the
citizens.

RAILROAD MATTERs-The work of con-
struction on the Central Pacific Railroad is
being most vigorously prosecuted. All the
locomotives of the company are kept con-
stansiy employed in forwarding ties and
timbers from the Sierra Nevada mountains T.,
and rails, spikes, ETC., from California. To
aid in this work of rushing forward material
the company have lately received several
new locomotives, among the number mag
nifceEt one called the Mountaineer, which
weighs IS tons and is in every respect
most perfect specimen of the machinist's
art. The rails are now laid distance of
36Si miles east of Reno and 4o2I miles east
of misunderstanding to and some way
into the Gravelly Ford country The Com
missioners will probably be called upon to
pass upon a new section in this region in the
course of week. The graders are far ahead
and are making rapid progress, and it is an
ticip1ted that the grading of the road will be
finished to the north end of Salt Lake within
six weeks. The company determined to
keep the road open over the Sierras all
winter, and will keep force of 300 to 400
men stationed in gangs at suitable distances
apart along the road through the snow belt
to clear the track from Snow wherever un-
protected. Much shedding is being done,
however, and should there be no bad storms,
it is expected that within two weeks all the
worst part of the route through the snow
belt will be rooted in. These sheds are
most substantially constructed, strong enough
to allow an avalanche to pass over them
without damage to either roofs or frames
They are not-where constructed on noun
tain sides and intended as protection against |
snow slides we'll as the natural fall of
snow-such simple structures as the name
would lead one to suppose, but series

strong beams set into the rock and fastened |
With huge spikes and melted sulphur poured

huge tlmbers reaching from the side of the
mountain down to and over the track, is the

ieavy sheet iron. 1t is confidently antici-
'ated that these shed, will resist and carry

SPEAKERS IN PARLIAMENT.-We extrac
the following from the Gentleman's Maya
zine, published in London The Times o
Friday gave up no less than thirty-ive O.
its columns to the parliamentary debates o.
) the previous night, and not single speaker
afserward wrote to correct syllable of the
report. Yet the speakers themselves are
anything but perfect elocutionists. They
speak sometimes with their backs to the
gallery they speak, many of them, in a
low, slip-shod and hesitating manner. Lord
Derby, Lord Cairns and Lord Granville, as
rule, speak distinctly enough. You may
hear every syllable they have to say; yet
you must be apt with your pencil to take all
you hear. But Lord Graham and Lord Rus
| sci hum, hah, hesitate and hang over a word
or phrase, talk loosely and often inaudibly.
Mr.. Gladstone generally speaks apparently
in torrent and whirlwind of passion.
Pale and naughty, he stands at the table
and pours out a stream of thought and pas
sion in long, sweeping sentences. His We
hement spirit finds an apt echo in clear
and musical enunciation. Mr.. Disraeli
speaks IN quieter tones but every word is
audible, and every sentence is perfect. Mr..
BrI9ht,s masculine sense finds fitting eX-
preston in magnificent rhetoric. He has
powerful voice, and he uses it like a prima
donna. He is, to my thinking, the most
perfect and artistic speaker in the House Of
Commons.
Sir Rounded Palmer and Mr.. Coleridge |
speak in an easy, flowing and graceful style !; |
and as they always keep the house at atten-
ton, you can hear all they have to say. Bus
Mr.. Lowe is the terror of the gallery. He |
is one of the a5lest and cleverest men in |
Parliament but speaker he is one of
the most annoying. He speaks very fast,
very indistinct and very irregularly. His ar
ticulation is chaotic. Sir Stafford North
cote has fatal fault. He talks without
stops of any description. His speeches are
continuous streams of words. Lord Stanley
is a bit of bore for though you must al
ways reckon on round, m4nly sense, you
must strain your ears and puzzle your wits
to interpret, sentence by sentence, what he
is saying. His articulation is terribly dis
1t is zig-zaz and blurred. Mr.
Stuart Mill has a weak, thin voice and
hesitating manner. Yet all these are men
whose speeches on interesting occasions
every pepper thinks it a duty to give in the +
first person, and, as rule. the speeches of
hese men are given with striking verbal ac
,nracy. Very often they read much more :
Effectively in the papers the next morning
han they sounded in St. Stephens the pre-
'ious night.

A. 7. STEwART.-The Chicago Tribune
says: The most effective supporter General
| Grant had in the late campaign, among
men not in public life, was Alexander I.
Stewart of New York. Indeed, it would be
difficult to name anybody, in public or pri-
vate station, who has exercised more i'm
portant influence in the right direction. At
the head of the merchants organization,
which he originated nearly a year ago, he
labored with zeal which knew 40 rest down
to the day of the election. Every cali that
was made upon him for aid by the Repubi-
can National Committeeman these were
not infrequent or Observation-Disclosures re-
sponded to with alacrity, and in his personal
intercourse with thousands of business men
from all parts Of the country he never failed
to present the advantages Of peace, order,
economy, equal rights and public credit,
which he deemed to be represented and en-
bodied in General Grant. Stewart is the
most successful business man in the United
States, and probably the foremost merchant
in the world. Ills example, therefore, could
not fail to have a great influence upon other
business men. He is no politician, but an
ardent admirer and warm friend of General
Grant, and he believes thoroughly in the
saving virtues Of peace as conducive to COM
mercial prosperity. There is no one who |
hes a better right to feel satisfied with the |
result of the election than Stewart.

| WHITE PINE, AS SEEN BY FITz SMYTHE-
Mr.. Albert S. Evans, who has been to The
newly discovered Ell Dorado, and is now on
his way back, telegraphs to the Alta from,
Grubb's Wells, Nevada, as follows:
have just reached here, homeward bound,
having made full examination of the White
Pine mines. Their richness is almost in
credible, silver being taken out by millions,
and new discoveries are being made daily.
Parties came in on Tuesday, from 65 miles
south, reporting discoveries of silver deposits
equal to White Pine. The nights are cold
and the days pleasant. Stages are running
regularly, and the rush is immense, exceed
ing the Washoe excitement. Provisions are
abundant. A. P. Stanford, Max Mcdonald,
l.. F. Loveland and other San Francisco
capitalists, are investing immense sums in
the purchase OF mines, with view to i'm
mediate work. None should come unpro-
vided with means to remain all Winter, as
heavy SHOWS are expected daily.

THE Bulletins correspondent at White
Pine says there are already three towns in
the district, all containing about 1000 in
habitants. These towns are called Hamil-
ton, Shermantown, and Treasure City. The
latter is the largest, and is situated on
Treasure Hill, at the altitude of 5000 feet.
This writer confirms the accounts of the
great wealth Of the mines, but advises no one
to 60 there until spring. The winters are
very severe. The ground is already covered
with snow.

king Ohiceholders.

One of the Seymour organs makes great
cutlery against circular alleged to have been
sent by the Union Republican Congressional
Committee to the postmasters throughout the
country, levying on them for contributions to
the amount of five per cent of their official
compensation. Such an cutlery from either
the Tammany ring or the Mozart ring in this
city, or from any other democratic ring what
ever, is utterly absurd and ridiculous. The
practice of thus levying contributions for parti-
san purposes, corrupt and unjust as it is, and
particularly burdensome to men of limited
salaries, confscating as it does a portion of
their scanty means tor the sake of bolstering
democratic party. The contributions are
voluntary, $50 called, but are really as much
''forced contributions" as the sums exacted by
an invading army from the inhabitants of
conquered country. For democrats to de-
nounce the practice, II it is adopted by the
republicans, is but fresh illustration of the old
story of pot calling the kettle black.
We must remind the postmasters now in
Office that they chance to occupy at the present
juncture of circumstances a peculiar position.
If they refuse to contribute to the democratic
cause they must, nevertheless according to
the Civil Tenure bill, be retained in Office
unless the reasons for their removal be fully
and satisfactorily set forth; and even if they
happen to be removed they will doubtless be
restored by the action of the Senate. Our
advice, therefore, to the postmasters is to hold
tight their purse strings and let both democrats
and republicans fight it out by themselves.
Comparatively few, except those connected
with the whiskey ring, the gold ring, the
Indian contractors ring, the lobby ring or
some other ring, can afford to be bled at the
usual rates of partisan committees. The
whiskey ring and the gold ring can stand
good deal of bleeding; they have plenty of
money, and they ought to be bled. But the
majority of oficeholders can i'll afford to be
victimized in this way. They should be ex-
empted from the tyrannous taxation of "volun-
tary contributions" to any party.

France md the Peace of Europe.

The Marquis de Mouster and the Moniteur
are again busy assuring the French people and
the nations of Europe generally that the policy
of the Emperor's government is a policy of
peace. 1t is the earnest desire of the govern
ment to quiet the public mind, and no step will
be neglected which is likely to have this effect.
France promises to abstain from Intervention
in German questions, but she will extend her
sympathy and encouragement to the reform
movements now in progress in Austria and
Turkey. 1t is something to know that France
does not mediate war just at present There
are no doubt those who will be grateful for
the news, although it is doubtful how far
opinion will be affected by the announcement.
It is not always safe literally to interpret the
language of cabinet ministers, especially
French cabinet ministers; nor would it be
safe to say that the Paris Moniteur is the most
truthful of journals. We believe the peace of
Europe will not be disturbed at present by
conflict between France and any of the great
Powers not because French minister and
French journal say so, but because there is
positively no reason for such conflict. 1t is
very like France to promise her encourage
ment to reforming Austria and Turkey. She
must be patronizing her neighbors. Some
Frenchmen are, we doubt not Of opinion that
the government of the Emperor would be better
employed carrying out reform at home than
promising encouragement to Austria and Tur-
key, both of which nations are showing that
they are perfectly competent to take care of
themselves. If the French press were only
little more free than it is the Emperor would
become familiar with some such language.
But the French press is not free, and the En-
peror has not the opportunity of hearing or
reading all that Frenchmen think of him. It
is, perhaps, some consolation to Frenchmen to
know that the Emperors government is bur-
dened with the cares of all Europe.

Admiral Fnrrngut In ENGLAND.

In England, as In every other country which
Admiral Farragut has recently visited, he has
been made the recipient of the highest honors.
On Tuesday last his flagship was visited by his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accom-
panied by his Royal Highness Prince Alfred,
Duke Of Edinburg. On Thursday Admiral
Farragut made return visit to Prince Alfred
on board Of the frigate Galatea, and afterwards
went, by request, to Osborne House and paid
a visit to her Majesty Queen Victoria. II is
announced that at an early day the Admiral
will take the United States vessels now in the
Solent to the East. The Eastern princes and
potentates will doubtless vie with their royal
European cousins in showerng honors upon
the American admiral. If Admiral Farragut
were not the solid, sensible old salt that he is
his head might be as much turned by these
hattering attentions as the head of Lamartine
was when he travelled en- prince in the East
several years ago. Lamartines visit is well
remembered by many Orientals. They paid
homage to him under the same impression as
that of the sheik who mystiied Nine. Olympic
Audouard in the valley of Assy by telling her,
IL became well acquainted with one of your
emperors, who has travelled here" and in
formed her that the name of this emperor, ''ss
noble ct 50 bon" was Lamartne Admiral
Farragut is honored in the Old World as one
Of the ''sovereigns' of the great republic Of the
New World. He is everywhere received as
worthy representative of national power
which our late civil war first fully developed
and made patent to all the nations Of the

PROVINCIAL Comfy AND COURTESY.
Arrest Of an American Citizen In Halifax for
Celebrating the Fourth Of July.

From the Halifax Citizen, July 81
The American citizens resident In Halifax celebrat-
ed the anniversary Of their nations Independence
the 4th inst. by dining together at the International
Hotel. One OF these gentlemen, we understand, not
content with eating his dinner and attending the
consus levee, and not having the fear OF British In
fore his eyes, made further demonstration In honor
of the occasion and had the audacity to let on
fireworks In the evening from his hotel window. We
have not learned Of what those fireworks consisted,
they were, they seem to have given mortal
offence to some terribly loyal British sub
ject, who gratined his anti-republican pre-.
JUDGES by having the aforesaid "cittsen"
tonished that any man could be found In the prov
ince Of Nova Scotia to make complaint about such
an 0dence-if 1t was an 0dence-against any law,
municipal or provincial. II Is only two years since
edged the Independence anniversary BY sauttng the
American nag that day, and when those represent
ing the authorities OF Great Britain here can recognize
the day In 50 marked manner II seems hardly becom
'loyaltyn may be, to object to any such triing de-
monstrati0n a. that complained OF. Il surely Is
no crime for IN American citizen to rejoice In
his country's independence and to assert his ma
few crackers on the Fourth OF July or By any
Of those demonstrations Of gladnese usually resorted
to on such occasons The majority Of rational
minded people viii pronounce the action OF the IN
temptible business. The court however, seemed 70
view the mater Inherently. for Il imposed ine Of
% and costs or fourteen days Imprisonment on the
offender for daring to do as an American citizen on
dr Ore i Of juvenile British sSbsc N ~ same Han
fax do under the nose Of this Mr.: Justice Shallow
every day Of his life. We cannot help feeling that
our city has been dsgraced y this prosecution and
the mssstrats WIN Jet feel heartily ashamed a what
they have done.
