LAND GRABBING.-The land grab.
bers are at work just as actively as
ever to worry settlers over whose
homesteads Spanish grants can by
any possibility be stretched, and to
get into their hands the small amount
of good Government land still left in
this State. As q sample of the one
set of operations, there is the nice
little scheme to float a two,league
grant over the ten leagues of Liver
more valley, which is now before the
Secretary of the Interior. As sam
pie of the other, the sale of che
Mendocina Reservation, some forty
or fifty thousand acres, may be cited,
where the sale was postponed from
time to time without notice to The
local papers, SO that. a few specula>
tors might gobble up the whole tract.
These land sharks are the greatest
curse of our State. They have done
more to retard its progress than all
other influences combined, and they
are doing more to-day to keep back
immigration than a dozen immigra-
ton societies, fully supplied with
agents, lecturers aud pamphlets, can
do 10 induce it. Oakland Tran

ABOUT seven months ago, Mrs.
Frank Burgess, of Santa Clara, in
kueeling down for the purpose of
religious devotion, knelt on the edge
of spring to her hoop skirt. She
experienced some little pain in the
knee at the time, but thought it no
serious matter However, the limb
commenced swelling, and became in
famed, causing her intense suffering.
1t continued to grow worse until
Wednesday last, when her physicians
determined that the amputation of
the limb was necessary to save her
life. DR.. SAKE, assisted by DR.. King
of Santa Clara, Drs. Cary and Spen-
Ger of San Jose, performed the oper>
alton in his usual artistic manner
Although much reduced in vital
force, the unfortunate lady is in a
fair way 10 recover.

An EXPENSIVE FILTRATION.


The Chicago Tribune of October 9th
has the following: Flirting is gener-
ally considered harmless. 1t may
be, bat many a man and woman have
bitterly regretted that they ever in
dulged in it. If young men and
ladies are guilty Of shaking their
handkerchiefs, and throwing kisses
at each other, it can hardly be expec-
ted that older persons, although they
are supposed to have thrown aside
such a silly practice, will be exempt.
To show what it costs fully grown
man to firt, an instance occurring at
the St. James Hotel on Thursday is
a good illustration. About noon on
wednesday, tall and very prepOs.
sessing woman, about thirty>6ve
years of age, arrived at the hotel in
question and registered her name as
Mrs. Carr. She appeared to be re-
spectacle, and in order that she might
avoid running up and down several
flights Of stairs, was accommodated
with a room on the second floor.
A gentleman, whose name is well
known 10 Chicago, connected with a
large firm on Lake street, boards at
the st. James. He is married, but
his wife is at present in an Eastern
city. This gentleman sat down to
the supper table on Thursday evening.
Near him was seated Mrs Carr. He
admired her stately appearance, aud
determined, if possible, to get up a
Irritation. By shaking his napkin he
attracted her attention. She looked
at him sweetly, and he shook the
napkin again. She gave him SO
much encouragement that when
supper was over he followed her in>
to the parlor. After brief conver.
sation an arrangement was made
to meet on the second floor. They
met in her room, and while seated
near the window, or some where else
a noise was heard. 1t was the knob
of the room door turning. "Some
one is eDdeavoring to get in," he
said in a whisper. "No," replied
she, sit is the nigger going out"
Some one did 60 out, but not a waiter.
1t was Mrs. Carr's confederate. The
gentleman, when be entered the
room, had $50 in greenbacks in his
overcoat pocket, also his wife's
watch. This garment he took off
and laid on Mrs. Carr's bed. When
he left the apartment, a few hours
subsequently-in fact, before taking
his departure-he discovered that the
money and jewerly were gone, but
| prudence prevented bin from making
known his loss; but the little episode
somehow leaked out, and caused
considerable talk around the hotel.
The "nigger," or confederate, had,
it would seen, secreted himself un-
der the bed, and while the geDtlemrn
and Mrs. Carr was conversing, ab-
stracled the valuables and took his
departure. 1t was a very neatly play
ed game, and will no doubt be a
warning to the Lake street merchant
to "beware of the vidders" in future
for wimmiDs is queer cattles." Mrs.
Carr left the MOTEL early on Friday
morning.

bin would have fisked all be had and
have Induced others to engage with him
ia such ascheme, without irst btaining
assurances from General Grant that there
should be no Interference With the plot,
mus. be equally clear to every one. In
more than ose way be has gnilty
knowledge Of this infr nous scheme been
brought home to the President. Without
the direct and unequivocal statement of
James Fisk, aud the sworn afadayits
which accompanied it, there was evi'
denee enough before the public toconirm
a belief in the reports which were made
by the best. informed newspapers Of the
country, and especially those Of New
York city.
The gold gamblers made no reckless
adventure when they boldly bulled the
market up to ie2. The whole operation
was based upon the representations
made by Grants brother-in.law. That
be had good reason to believe that there
would be no interference from Washing-
ton is proven by the recklessness with
which be risked bis money, when to all
appearance nothing but financial ruin
could be the result. It was we'll known
the government could burst the bubble
in a moment, but the positive assurance
made by Grant to Corbin, and by him
conveyed to his .coNconspirators gave
confidence to those who boldly engaged
in the most gigantic gambling scheme
the world has ever seen.
Had General Grants conduct in other
respects been different it might be hard
to believe that be would engage in such
a conspiracy. But his whole course has
been calculated to render credence to
this last and gravest charge easy. The
public officer who feels no hesitancy
about accepting every present which can
be altered to him cannot possess a very
nice sense of honor. The president who
SO notoriously makes use of his official
position to reward those who conferred
pecu mary benefits upon him, and who
has appointed crowd of needy relatives
to positions they are unfit to fill, would
not hesitate to aid his fAvorite brothers
in>lsw in such a scheme as the recent
gold gambling speculation. That Gen.
Grant was largely responsible there can
no longer be any doubt. Let him be
held to answer for it by the people.

A CARRIAGE Torn TO FRAGMENTS BY
RAILROAD TRAIN.-One of the most won
derful and unprecedented escapes from
a horrible death that was probably ever
recorded occurred at four o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon, on the Louisville and
Memphis Railroad. While the train was
rushing at full speed, within a short dis.
tance of Russellville Ky, and near the
crossing of a country road, a carriage,
drawn by two mules, and containing
four persons, suddenly appeared upon
the track. The engineer was horriied
at the Sight. He shuddered as be blew
down brakes" and reversed his en-.
gine. The carriage seemed to stand
still, while the train swept on, threatens
ing to carry with it destruction and
death. Nothing could stay its swift
course. There was crash. The car
riage was torn into fragments. Two of
the inmates, a lady and gentleman, were
carried distance of l5O yards on the
cow catcher, aud dropped into a cow>
gap. The other two, gentleman and
lady, rode on the cow-catcher, to which
they clung with desperation, for the dis
tauce of one hundred and twenty yards
beyond, when the train was finally
checked, and they were taken off. Had
not the two first fallen into the gap,
they would have Inevitably been crushed
beneath the wheels OF the train. The
escape seems providential and miracu>
lous. The frame of the carriage, hav>
ing first come 10 contact with the loco
motive, broke the force of the collision,
and they were dropped, as it were, on
the COW catcher as the train passed on.
This is the only way in which their es.
cape can be accounted for. Strange to
say, they were only slightly bruised.
When the carriage was struck, it was
torn loose from the mules, which bad
just passed over the track sufficiently
far to miss the train. The animals, be-
coming frightened, ran away toward
Russellville. The two gentlemen and
ladies were cousins, and were on their
way to that place when they were over
taken by what might have proved ter
rible catastrophe.

FINANCIAL RUMoRs.
Chicago, Nov. IA Tribune's |
New York special says the heavy
break down in gold is now known
to be caused by the, general belief
that Secretary Boutwell, will in a
very few weeks make a grand coup |
and at once return to specie pay |
ments, thus forestaling the decision
of the Supreme Court which will
undoubtedly be that the legal tender
act is unconstitutional. The decis>
lou is expected about the end of the
year. This action of the Secretary
will undoubtedly cause temporary
distress through the country and
create panic in the produce and
general merchandise markets but as
the step has to be taken some time,
the present is cousiderd the most
convenient-politicalIy better indeed
than any other period not so remote
from the Presidential election.
Among the numerous financial
measures in contemplation by Mr..
Boutwell, is one to replace the five
twenty bonds about due, by large
foreign loan. This has often been
contradicted, but nevertheless, is now
about agreed upon with the agents
of foreign bankers now in this
country.
