Foreign Items.

The great improvements that have been
lately introduced in all species of firearms are
eclipsed by the discovery made by a Captain
Piazza, who belongs to the Italian army, but
who is ready to sell his invention to the first
bidder. His object is the benevolent one of
circulating among the officers of the army in
Paris, entitled, "LAbolition des Armees Per-
manentes," he en&eavors to explain that by
means of q small machine which he is ready
to sell for few hundred francs, he can insure
such precision of fire for large guns and small
arms that the most ignorant man will be
able to calculate without difficulty the object he
is aiming at, and the height of the trajectory
and also be certain that he will hit his mark.
will be surprised to hear Captain Piazza has
as yet met with no purchaser of his machine,
and is still open to a bid.
1t is only fair to Dean Close and the Anti
Tobacco Association to call attention to the fol-
lowing case, which is recorded in one of the
French papers, of somebody actually killed by
tobacco. A baker named Caron, of Pont AuthOn
(Seine Inferieure), took it into his head one
evening, contrary to his usual habits to indulge
in quid, which at the end of a quarter of an
hour he involuntarily swallowed. Paying no
attention to the accident, he drank glass of
water and lit his pipe but an hour later he was
seized with violent headache and general unea-
siness. He had just assembled the staircase to 90
to bed when fit of giddiness attacked him and
he rolled to the bottom of the stairs, where he
was found in an unconscious state; and,
although antidotes were Immediately admins
tered to him, he never rallied, but expired with
out regaining consciousness. The question re-
mains, Was the unfortunate man killed by the
fall or the quid? 1t is impossible to say but, as
they are sure to take it, we may as well give the
anti-tobacconists the benefit of the doubt

WHAT You rAY, now rot FARE, AND THE WAY.
The San Francisco Times has the fol-
lowing from a correspondent at White
Pine:
''For the benefit of such parties as con-
template visit to White Pine, | send
you the following facts and figures rela-
tive to the cost of travel. fare, etc, be-
tween San Francisco and this place -
First, stage to Sacramento-time, via
Vallejo railroad, five hours--by river
boats, twelve to fourteen hours fare, in
GLIDING lodging, by either route about S5.
From Sacramento, leaving at $50 a. NJ,
to Elko, by railroad (45S miles); fare,
exclusive of meals, SAC so; time, thirty
one hours. Elko to Hamilton Clio
miles, fare, by either of the two lines
of regular stages, $50; time, from forty
to sixty hours; fare, by second class
stages, s35 to $40; time, three to FIVE
days. Meals and lodgings everywhere
along the route, after leaving Sacramen-
to, 81 each, both of moderately good
quality until you reach Elko, thence on
from indifferent to execrable. The cars
are well warmed and comfortable, and
persons accustomed to travel can get a
good nights rest while riding in them
On the stages the chances for sleep are
not good, since even if they halt over
night at the way stations, as is the custom
with the second class, tho traveller can
get no bed, and rarely ever place to
spread his blankets; hence he suffers
more discomfort in coming this 110 miles
than in making all the rest of the jour
ney. Unless passage is secured before
leaving San Francisco, there is every
probability that the wayfarer will have to
lay over two or three days at Elko before
getting scat in the regular stage for
thisplacc."

THE NEGRO BUREAU.

The negro bureau is utterly indie
fensibIe. The administration of the
bureau is all wrong, because it has
been used as political engine. 1t is
wreag because it h been used to
put its own emissaries and agents in
political positions. 1t is wrong be-
cause 1t has been used, and its funds
have been used, and its funds have
been used for personal, partizan and
improper purposes. There is no pow
er in Congress to create departments
and to appropriate money for purpos-
es of this nature. The bureau has
become severe tax upon the treas
ury without afording any advantages
or benefits to the people in return. 1t
Is injurious tothe freedmen, inasmuch
as it has encouraged idlcness by af
fording pecuniary support without la
Dor. 1t has engendercd animosities
between the whites and blacks of the
Southern States. It has prevented
the proper working of the Southern
plantations by inducing the negroes
to try to become proprietors instead
of laborers. It's agents have used
their positions to enrich themselves
and to obtain political prefermcnt.-
It's funds ard squandercd without ac.
countability or proper care. 1t has
illegally confscated lands and render.
ed no account thereof It has pro
duced a system of espionage-and
prying into the affairs of private citl
zens with no object of public good
1t has been used as political engine
with which to uphold and continue
the donlinancy of the Radical party
and to secure to that party the ter
Southern States, whose people, white
and black, have been made dependent
upon its fayors and authority, aided
by military commanders.

The attention of parties cutting
timber in the hills, is cited to the fol-
lowing extract from the law relative
to school lands:
ale (the superintendent shall take
good care of the school lands of his
and if any person shall IN
ang manner trespass upon the same,
he shall prosecute them for double the
amount Of damages done said land,
such sum to be paid into the county
treasury, and shall belong to the
school fund of the county"

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAIL-
ROAD.

Before Gen. Grant was inaugurated
it was announced that he was opposed
to dcnoting any moro of the public
lands for the building of Railroads;
also that he is equally hostile to the
Government loaning it's credit to aid
in the construction of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. We regret to see
this. We havo long been convinced
that this road should be constructed
at the earliest practicable moment.
II should have been built before the
Central Road, because it is not so
long by about 1900 miles; because
it will not cost so much per mile TO
construct it; because, though farther
north, it can be kept open almost the
whole year; and because the country
through which it will run is generally
fertile, and hence it will be self:sup-
porting thing that can never be
truthfully said of the Central Pacific.
Between Lake Superior and Puget
Sound and the mouth of tho Colum-
bia river there are 100000 square
miles of territory. It is the winter
wheat region of this continent. It is
region rich in coal, iron, gold, silver
and copper. 1t is region of alter,
nate prairies and pine forests. It's
climate is extremely salubrious and
healthy. It is an excellent grazing
region. In all its valleys, peaches,
apples, pears, plums, cherries, grapes,
Irish, and even sweet potatoes have q
rapid growth and complete maturity
It is a region replete with good
water-powcr. 1t has population o.
/ i,4lo, 600, embracing as it does, Min
ncssota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington.
Let the Northern Pacific Railroad
be built, and speedy communication
is opened up with all that country en-
closed by the Rocky Mountains or
the east and north, by the Cascades
on the west, and by the rm of tbs
Great Basin on tho South,-whici
aboundsinrich valleys, extensivetract'
of unsurpassed timber, AMI nearly al
the precious metals of the world. II
work, grades, and alignment, th'
route is feasible, and could be run n
all seasons of the year; because snow
on this route has never obstructcC
travel, and the passes over the Rock!
Mountains in this latitude, according
to Gen. Stevens, do not reach an Gle
vation of 8 800 feet above the level o
the sea. 1t will strike the Pacific
ocean at Puget Sound ;-an inlant
sea, which includes the whole bod,
of water flowing into the Straits o
San Juan de Fuca, and surpassin.

~ of its navigation, and the securit.
