TIE FEMALE AcRoBAT.-"John Paul "
has been to see the oma on the flying
trapeze (Mrle SenyNh) in New York,
and makes the following report:
She was quite q pretty woman, neatly
aud simply dressed in n girdle made Of
q stripe or two from an American flag
eucircling her waist. | never felt so
proud Of my country's flag before. | had
seen it waving over thriving cities,
happy villages and majestic mountain
nights, but this is the first time that
had seen it generously protecting the
waste places. | shHu't attempt TO de-
scribe what the pretty lite woman did
on the trapeze, the rings, and the incl
dental ropes. She accomplished fcats
that made my hair run cold and every
drop Of blood in my veins stand on end.
She swung head downward from the
trapeze bar, holding her husband by
one ear with the tips of her thumb and
forefingcr, aud in that position turned
ten somersaults over the bar, swinging
her husband over her head each time.
This feat she afterward repeated, vary
ing slightly by holding her husband in
her teeth, and Messrs. Jarrett and
Palmer by the hair-one in each hand.
Then she supported herself by twisting
her hair back around the bar, fastening
it with a single hair pin, and afterwArd
fearlcssly ate q mince pie-which the
programme assured US was bought in
Fulton market-whilc a shudder OF
horror ran through the audience.

Call very sensibly remarks that the
most absurd law ever passed by the
California Legislature is that which
forbids the carrying Of concealed
weapons. The object was to prcvenI
indiscriminatc shooting among a class
about whose welfare there need not to
have been any extraordinary solicituds
but the result has been to place tho
law-abiding portion of the community
at the mercy of night-prowlers, foot
pnds and %garroters.

The WHOLE Story OF OrnELLo.-W
have never seen the following story Q
Othello in print. An old blind begga
in Dublin, its author, used to rccitc
with great power aud feeling:
Othello was a captain bould,
Though black as coal by nature;
To Desdemona he was we'd
An illigant young creature.
Wild her he lived in peace and quit.
For she was no virago,
Until by chance he met n night
Avillyan named Iago.
Says he, "Your wife's a perjurcd cheat ;
She is n faithlcss ~lassie, oh;
She doesn't care u d-n for you,
She'd give her eyes for Cassie.
Wild him she galliyants about
At all her hours Of leisure;
She stole your pocket handkerchief
For him to wipe his razurc."
"My handkerchief my handkerchief Z
Othcllo then did stammer;
my pocket-pockct handkerchief:
o, damn her! lcwd mink, damn her!
Neither with dagger nor with dirk,
For that would make 4 foul stir;
But first I'll blow the candle out,
And slay her wild a boulstcr!."

The RAILRoAD.-The cars on the
Union Pacific Railroad began again to
run regularly across the Rocky Noun
taius on the 9TH instant, and the pas
sengers from California, who had been
detained near Ogden, started off in
squads, the first lot going on Friday
last. The spring is so far advanced
that there is no danger Of any further
obstruction from snow this season, and
henceforth passengers can go through
in schedule time. The delayed mail
matter will make its appearance here in

ErFgCrs OF THE New Discovery. -
| They are doubtless right, says the Sac
ramento Union, who caution people
against o thoughtless rush TO White
Pine. Misery and poverty are almost
sure to result to the great mass who SO
there, as has in times past been the case
with similar rushes to Gold Lake, Gold
Bluffs, Kern River, Frazer River, and
Washoe. But general good is almost as
sure to come from the discovery in the
end. The Frazer fever produced u new
and broad field OF industry. Kern River
attracted attention 20 a rich agricultural
part OF the State, and Washoe produced
a new State, which White Pine is likely
to increase ten-fold in wealth, and en-
large by more extended discoveries.
Among the events that may be counted
on with q good deal of certainty rs re-
suits Of the rapid settlement Of Eastern
Nevada, are railway connection with the
waters Of the Colorado, the improve
ment of the navigation Of that stream,
the speedy increase Of and
population on the Gulf of California,
and an impulse to settlement and bust
ness in the vast region Of Arizona. If
the men of capital who are going TO
White Pine, or who are, from San Fran
cisco and Chicago to direct its business,
will but look to these things through
the eyes of true merchants, they will in
n few year create new States capable of
greatly augmentihg the trade OF both
cities on q basis of such enduring and
growing prosperity as must justify and
compensate for all the misery suffered
by the pioneers.

readers for the great event of the CONF

ayers. It says that the most extraor.
binary railroad event Of this railroad
age will be the magnificent trons-conti-
mental excursion which, in the coming
month of July, is to open the Pacific
railway route from one ocean to the
other. 1t will be the worlds great rep
reseutatlve gathering, that will meet in
the heart Of the continent to see the
last rail spiked home. From the east
ern side the party will consist of 1000
guests, in q superb train of 40 cars, fin
ished expressly for this occasion. Or.
Durant will, We understand, commence
the excursion proper at Omaha, leaving
it to guests from all over the country to
reach that point by their W choice oil
routes. At the head Of the list of in.
vited guests will be President Grant and
his Cabinet. It is expected that there
will be delegations Of leading Europeans
also.
Whether the members Of this party
will give our city a call or not, we have
not heard ; it i, too carly yet, probably
for the programme to be made out in
minuteness, but it is not unlikely thai
they will. At any rate, whether they
DO or do not, we may rest assured thai
there will be large parties Of visitors
come here. We have heard of several
excursion parties being already arranged
in the East, with the intention Of making
trips to this city during the coming sum
mer. We may reasonably enough cal.
culate that this will be n point Of grea'
attraction and resort. The watering
places on the Atlantic have been visited
by the Eastern people so often that theii
charms are exhausted they no longer
possess any novelty for the seeker after
pleasure or health. Saratoga, the Hud
son, the St. Lawrence and the bathing
places on the coast will, likely enough.
DO comparatively deserted for some sea-
sons to come if those who have been in
the habit of frequenting them can reach
these mountains with any degree o.
comfort, and be accommodated in good
style when they arrive here.

before the bell would be heard! Wonder
full, isn't it? I suppose they haven't in
vented bells in America p
why, yes, replied The Yankee, we've
got bells, but we can't use them on our

always keep ahead of the sound; the sound
never reaches the village till after the train
gets by.
