The Cincinnati Times tells US that
Capt. Hall is confident that he will

may reach It, but for our part we shall
never believe he has done it until he
produces the pole itself as evidence of
the fact.

Some half dozen loyal Governors i'll

reached within the last year for male

state of Nebraska following in the
wake of other loyal States. One David
fsutler-much significance in the name

demeanOrs in office, and a committee
of five appointed to draft articles OF
Impeachment and conduct the case
before the Senate. The o on I'M

said Buffers stealings since occupying

enormous, and the school fund was

How singular that these Radical Phar-

general education should be guilty OF
robbing the school funds whenever an
opportunity offers.

RENO AND VIRGINIA RAILROAD
The energetic promoters OF this enter
prise are now in san Francisco organ
izing their forces for an early com-
-lencement ofthe work. 1t Is
:. have the road completed to the base
OF the mountains, about twelve miles,
or little over half the distance from
Reno. by midsummer-when a breath
ir- smell will be taken before starting
up the steep and rugged mountain on
which Virginia is situated. 1t has not
vet been definitely settled as to the
exact route which the road will take
10 reach the summit of the mountain,
and will not be until a survey is made
81 the ground by competent engineers
employed for that purpose. Careful
estimates have been made by Mr.
Johnson of the amount OF freight and
passengers which pass over the road
each month, and it has been ascertalned
.i1at a road between the points named
will paw enormous profits on the cost
Of constructing and equippins a mar
railroad. These estimates
taken from correct data will enable
the company to procure all the tinan-
cial aid it may want i'll California to
forward their work. This company
showed its faith in the road by declin-
ing to ask the Legislature for subsidy.
~ most other enterprises of the kind
in the State did. but will build and
equip the road with its own funds.

RIVER, BUSINESS. MISCELLANEOUS

The river has fallen but one inch since
our last report, and is now nearly at a
stand, with nine feet large to Cairo, and
but eight feet three inches above there
to st. Louis. Below here there is about
eleven feet over the shoaliest places.
There is but little change in the condi-
ton of the upper rivers. The Missouri
is extremely low, and the Illinois difficult
to navigate even by light-draught boats.
The upper Mississippi continues to de-
cline, and the Ohio is nearly stationary,
with a good summer stage at Louisville.
White river, as well as the Arkansas, is
rising slowly to-day, but will hardly go
more than half foot higher, as the rain
along both was light. Business is only
moderate to-day. The local packets
Geo. W. Cheek and Grand Tower came
in well laden, and of the departures the
A. j. White, T. H. Allin, Mary Boyd
and City of Chester had fair trips of
freight and people. The weather con-

The Grand Tower, Captain Lennox
in command and Mr.. White purser,
will get away at FIVE pm. to-day for St.

The good steamer Geo. w. Cheek,
Captain Mark Cheek, will leave at five
p. m. to-day for Helena, Friar's Point
and all way landings. Frank Confer
man is at the desk.
The MARITIME, Captain Whitehead, will
leave Helena tomorrow morning on the
arrival of the Geo. W. Cheek, and goe:
to Mariana, Wittsburg and points OF
the st. Francis.
The steamer Northwestern struck the
bridge at Quincy in passing down at two
o'clock Thursday morning, carrying
away her starboard guard and smashing
barge in tow. The collision caused
considerable panic among the passen-
gers, and for a time it was thought the
boat would sink. She was repaired
however, and proceeded to st. Louis,
leaving the barge behind.
The Natchez' time from New Orleans
to St. Louis on her last trip was four
DAYS, eighteen hours and twenty minutes.
The last six hours she was in storm.

There is a wandering savant located
near the corner Of Jefferson and Main
streets, who enlightens minute darkies
into the mysteries Of the microscopic
world for the paltry sum Of five cents
a cheap excursion into a magic land,
where life is as real and as earnest as If
human beings played the parts The
little darkies scream with delight when
they see the legs of flies resemble those
of elephants, The microscope is an
impertinent Instrument which deprives
us OF that blissful ignorance, which, af-
ter all, is the only true wisdom. The
wretch Lewenboeck tells us Of an insect,
seen beneath microscope, of which
twenty-seven millions would only equal
mite. Mould is forest of beautiful
trees, with branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are feathered like birds, and
the surface Of our bodies is covered
with scales like a fish. A single grain
of sand would cover one hundred and
fifty of these scales, and yet one scale
covers five hundred pores through
which the sweat forces itself like water
through a seiye. A mite makes five
hundred steps second; drop of stag
nant water contains a world Of swim
ming monsters; and every leaf has a
colony of insects grazing on it, like
cows on a meadow. Our savant on
Main street does not tell this to the little
negroes, but the horrible Lewenboeck
tells 1t to all the world.
