A BLOODY INCIDENT.
From the San Joaquin Republican

| From the San Joaquin Republican.
When sleigh riding with girls it is
an old custom to collect toll in the
shape of one kiss, and as many
| more as you can snatch while cross
ing the bridge. Young men who
remember the custom have fallen
into the habit of enforcing it on
railroad cars at the moment when
the train is passing through dark
tunnel. 1t is very pleasant, as our
experimental knowledge enables us
to testify, and you know how it is
yourself. Here's all account of one
Of things which, though sweet,
turned out rather sanSuinary to one
of those the parties. People who have
travelled over the Central Pacific
Railroad between this city and Sac
ramento do not need to.be told that
there is covered bridge over the
Mokelumne river, and that as the
train passes through those in the
cars find themselves in a mellow
evening cleaning, very provocative
of kissing, provided one should
chance to find himself beside some
thing pretty enough to kiss. Here
again We must remark: "You know
how it is yourself" Well, on the
excursion train from this city to Nc
Connell's grove last Saturday there
were a number of very kissable
young ladies, and Oh the return trip
as the train was passing through the
Mokelumne river bridge, young
gentleman betnought him to collect
toll from his fair companion, and he
went for her dewy lips, but the
young lady didn't see it-how could
she IN the dark? in the scutfie
she gave him one on the mob. The
little tap was doubtless more vigor-
ously dealt than she intended. At
any rate as the train plunged again
into glowing day those in the imme-
diate vicinity noticed the claret flow
ing in steady stream from the young
mans nose. Moral-When you at
tempt to kiss girl In tunnel or
bridge always be sure that she is
willing to be tolled, or else hold her
hands.

THE ROAD STEAMER.


From the :. r. Examiner
The long sought for steam-wago
has come, and will soon be pulling
great loads over all the roads of Cali
fcrnia, and dragging ore up and
down the valleys of Nevada and
Utah to the trunk railroad line.
Thompson's invention of India rub
Der tires made the steamwagon a
possibility, and now they are plenty
enough in England and Scotland
and are doing good work in India
and Brazil. On this coast We already
have a number There are one or
two at S alt Lake. one in Stockton.
one which was running around Oak
in British Columbia. These are all
English wagons. One, a California
Improvement on the English patent.
was tried in this city yesterday. and
pulled two heavy iron columns for
the State Capitol down to the wharf.
This wagon, which seems in several
respects better than the English ma
chimes. was built by Hyde " Son,
who are the patentees, at the Etna
works. The principal improvement
consists in the wheels In the Eng
lish wagons these are covered
by rubber tires to which steel plates
are bolted for protection. In the
HYDE machine the tire is made of
rubber cylinders, between which
angle-irons are placed. secured by an
iron rim on the outside of the wheel.
Each piece has a separate play, and
gives when the weight comes on it.
thus giving the wheel a grasp on the
ground like an elephants foot, and
securely protecting the rubber.
With the exception of some minor
details among which is beautiful
and compact little pump, the inven
ton of Messrs. HYDE n Son, and
which can be used as well for suck
ing water from wells and streams as
for pumping into the boiler). the
rest of the wagon Is constructed in
the same way as the English wagons.
The weight of the whole machine,
with coal and water aboard, is eleven
tons. and it is calculated to pull
twenty tons of freight over any
ordinary road, its consumption of
coal being only one hundred pounds |
per hour. 1t is steered by the front |
wheel, which is like that of veloci-
pede, and which is placed under the
drivers control by means of a
screw. These steam wagons, with |
their broad wheels and heavy rubber
tires. will go anywhere that horses
can be used; Will run up hill CT
down. travel over rocks or through |
sand. and level instead of cutting up
a road. In going down hill no brak-
ing is necessary. The engine is
merely reversed, when the wheels
have to move against the steam in
the cylinders and the rate of de-
scent can be regulated to a nicely.
These machines are evidently des-
tined to revolutionize interior trans
portation, and possibly to a great
extent agriculture. as they must come
INTO very general use for plowing.
The Stockton machine has already
been tried at hauling gang plows
through heavy soil, and Hyde X Son
have new rotary plow (also Cali
fornia invention), which it is de-
signed to use with the steam wagon.
This plow moves like the wheel of a
propeller, cutting and turning the
earth rs it passes over it, and is said
to effect a great economy.

HUMAN NATURE."-When Gen
Grant, short time ago, read Admiral
Porter's letter, written in 1868, dc.
nouncing the aforesaid Grant, it is
said that "thc government" declared
that he had lost all confidence in hu.
man nature But, according to the
New York Sun, he is still haukering
after Porter's "human nature" The
Sun says:
"TheOdorc Porter has jus, been nominated an a
confirmed by the Senate as an ensign in the navy
He is the son Of Admiral Porter. and is promoted
over the heads Of sixty three other mdshipmen Of
his own class. He graduated from the Naval
Academy at the bottom Of his class, and has been
as worthless since as he was before But Grant
and Robson promote him."
Porter's son must be a riatch for
Grants. While the former ruled and
commanded the Naval Academy, the
other is boss at West Point.

The New York SUM- lNadlchl) OF
the 9Th says. In bis message TO Com
qrcss President Grant iulhlls the
nromise forced out of him by the dan.
Ger of defeat in Connecticut. lie
sends in the report of the San Domin-
90 Commissioners without attempting
any argument in favor of annexation,
and without asking that il should now
be carried through.
So faras we can recollect, this ls the
first time that Gen. Grant has turned
and rotracted since he resigned from
the army IN California in 1891, to
avoid a worse conclusion. 1t must
have been hard for him TO yield to
the will of the people, and let San
Domingo slide How sincerely he
must have wished, as ho signed his
name to this message, that he had
long ago taken the friendly advice
of the Sun and kept out Of this dis.
creditable scrape altogether. Then
he would have saved the 100000
which ho has unlawfully paid to B@z
as wears rent Of the worthless Bay
of Samana; he would have avoided
the high misdcmcanOr Of taking part
in n civil war in II foreign country
without authority from Congress; he
would have been free from the suspi.
cion, which no whlowashing reports
can wipe off, Of having pushed this
scheme merely to enrich few greedy
iavoriles aud cronies; he would have
escaped the quarrel with Mr. Sumner,
by which Grant alone has been iniur-
ed and he would not have been sub
iect to the necessity Of this hnmlia-
Ting abandonment of a project so OBJ
stinaiely loved and SO senselessly
promoted.
This message has some queer
features which we will not now COM
mcnt upon. The assumption of the
President, however, that he and his
cronies are cleared from all suspicion
of business interest in annexation is
very simple. The Commissioners have
discovered no proof that Gen. Grant,
or Gen. Ingalls,, or Gen. Babcock, or
Gen. Dent, or any other General in
particular, was to make any money
out of San Domingo. Ofcourse there
was no such evidence for them to dis
cover. The spectators who got up
this scheme, and succeeded in enlist
ing Gen. Grant with such surprising
pertinacity in its consummation, were
not fools enough to leave their tracks
uncovered Leaving out of view the
mines, the water privileges, the steam
boat lines, the railroads, the water
lots, the banking monopoly, and the
right of importing goods free OF duty,

conviction that such influence played
