LIFE ON WHRELs.-A correspondent of
the Santa Clara Union describes how things
are done on the Central Pacific Railroad:
The pioneer train is composed Of ten or
eleven large cars. They look very much like
houses Oh wheels In the forward car IS
Mr.. Strowbridges residence aud Office. 1t is
neatly fitted up, aud well furnished, and an
awning verandsh, With a canary bird swing
at the front door, gives it a very home-like
appearance. Here Mr.. StroWbridge spends
his time with his family, and receives visi-
tors. A battery is on the car, and an opera
tor to work it. The train moves to the end
of the track each and every noon and night,
when wire is attached, the circuit made
and the first telegraph Office that ever invaded
the precincts of that great wilderness in COM
munication with Freelands, Santa Clara. In
the back car of this train are eating and
sleeping accommodations for the five hundred
men who compose the vanguard Of this great
army. Attached to this train are three or
four platform cars on which carpenters, with
shops fitted up in the best style, are fitting
telegraph poles, putting on insulatorS, ETC.,
for the line, which is kept three miles ahead
of the railroad. At every important station
on the route there is a telegraph Office, and
through these daily supplies are ordered up.
Thus, hand in hand on their sturdy march,
20 the twin giants, the railroad and telegraph.

MoRMoNIsM ILIUsTRATED.-This phase
of Mormon life is described by the Salt Lake
Reporter of January 9th: About dusk las
evening we heard loud talking aud crying il
the street, in front of the Boise stage Office
and, fastening to the spot, found a police
man taking a woman and little boy, as he
said, to the lookup. From the woman:
words, and from others, we learned that he'
name was Suter. She came here last Sum.
mer with her husband, who Joined the Nor
nous, and soon proposed to take another wife,
and took one, the woman said, who had been
the concubine of negro, whereupon his first
wife left him, and went to washing for a
living She was soon released by the police
man, aud returned to Suters house, where
she began to upbraid him, demanding a
maintenance for herself and child or to have
her passage paid back to the States. The
man accused her of loose conduct, and her
cries and the screams of the child, drew
another crowd. The policeman dragged her
out of the house, while enc held the child,
whose cries we're enough to chill the blood.
With what we thought unnecessary harsh
ness, two policemen dragged the halt crazy
and shrieking woman to jail. Some few OF
the bystandefs had SO little humanity as to
jeer at the poor woman, while another pol
iceman shouted, Slap your hand over her
mouth Stop her d-d yelling! She
was taken to Jail, shrieking at every step.
The woman was evidently not drunk-is it
to be wondered at if she was crazy! Her
husband stated 10 justification that she was
a bad woman--hsd always led him just
such life,' etc. But surely no error OF
woman can justify such treatment. The
fact that such things can be, and in this age,
and under our flag, needs no comment; The
mind turns from such system with loath'
ing and horror.

A strange couple came up from Erie, on
the Lake Shore Road, Saturday evening
exciting the disgust and intense curiosity Of
every passenger in the car. 1t comprised a
sooty, greasy negro, and pretty white girl,
whom be had married the day before at
Erie. The girl evidently felt great deal
Of shame at her situation, for she kept her
self dOubly veiled, and looked out Of the car all
the time. Her '0thello, however, was 81
passionate tenderness and attention. We
have learned the antscedents Of the pair,
which we lay before our readers On
Thursday, a tall, gaunt, very black negro,
about 40 years of age, registered at the
Morton House, Erie, as William Lindsey
and wife. Ohio He requested the landlord
to give him the best room in the house, as
his wife would arrive on the next train and
join him. His wife not putting in 40 APT
pearance by the next morning, he went to
Oberlin after her. 1t happened that the
girl-Carrie Brown by name-however, was
on her way for Erie, to join her lover, (ugh }
aOd the train that be was on passed hers.
Arriving at Erie and learning the State of
affairs, Carrie remained in the depot till
evening, when Lindsey returned from 0ber-
lin. They went off to the hotel and asked to
be shown to their room. The landlord
asked the negro if the lady with him was
bis wife. He answered in the affirmative
The landlord then iuterrogated the lady, who
was beautiful young Irish girl. She said
they we're not yet married, but that they had
come for the purpose of being married. The
two were then told that they must produce
a certificate of marriage before they could
occupy a room together, Whereupon they
called upon the Rev. Mr.. Nutting of Erie,
aud were married. The girl said she came
from Boston, and that she bad been living
in the family of Prof Allen, of Oberlin, and
attending school; that there she met this
man, her present husband, VIM. Delaney,
alias William Lindsey. He says he is
Wesleyan Methodist preacher. Prof Allen
knew of her leaving to marry the negro, and
was in favor of her marriage. They left
Erie on Saturday morning for Oberin. The
bride is very pretty girl, and was well
dressed. She says her parents live in BOs-
ton. he has been in 0berlin since October
last. She is about eighteen or nineteen
years of age. Delaney wore tall stoves
pipe hat, and carried cotton umbrella in
bis hand. We would like to comment upon
this case, but it is too disgusting; we cannot
trust our feelings Cleveland PldindedLer.

WATERING HORSES. Horses should new

will drink largely when given it. Give it to

selves with it. Nothing.is more common
than to hitch team to the plough, and
make them work half day without drop.
What man would submit to such treatment!
If the plough is started at seven in the
morning, water should be given again before
ten, and again in the afternoon by four
o'clock Even if half an hour is thus con.
sumed, more work will be done in a day.
The objection that horses on the road should
not be loaded with water, is not valid. A
horse weighing 1900 pounds will not be
much incumbered additionally by twenty
pounds of water, while the distension will
give him additional strength. Every farmer
knows that when lie himself undertakes to
lift large log or heavy stone, he can do
more by first initiating himself with air, and
not unfrequently be loses button or two

degree of initiating by water will add to a

DEsERTIoN AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
A woman, whose name is withheld from the
public, attempted to commit suicide few
days ago, whose sad history is told as follows:
She was the accomplished daughter Of
vealthy citizen. A few years ago she was
led astray by rattle>brained minstrel per-
former, with whom she left the parternal
roof, never TO return. She lived with him
several mouths, when he deserted her aud
left for other parts probably 10 seek for
new victims. The girl, who was but seven
teen years Of age, would not return to her
home, but chose rather life Of degradation
In q noted house Of iIl-fame in this city.
She was found 10 this house by a speculator,
who persuaded her to accompany him. He
purchased house on C-street and after
furnishing it in the most elegant style, the
two lived there about year as man and wife.
She then went to Germany and, after re>
naming there several months, she returned,
arriving here but a few weeks ago. The
broker went up to Sacramento last week,
telling her that urgent business called him
to that city. The uext day after his departs
ure she received letter from him informing
her that be was tired Of her, aud that she
need never expect to see him again. He
inclosed in the letter draft on the Bank of
California for 81 900, payable to her order.
The grief of the poor woman, who found
herself abandoned for the second time,
caused her to attempt the rash act of self,
destruction. She took large quantity of
laudauum, but was caught in the act by some
of her friends, who summoned physician
