THE HOT AIR DRAFT

Is one of the most important features of the Fear
less: The draft is furnished by opening the slides
in the front door. when the air comes in contact
with the heated lining passing out at the top
then by contract with the front ire-pate the TEN
perature yet further increased before passing in
to the fire chamber The advantage of this sys-
TEN over that of admitting cold air directly into

Arizona Railroad.

The San Francisco Bulletin has the follow ing articles on railroads.
 The shareholders of the California and Ari' ona Railroad Company have petitioned Con gress to subsidize, as it may think best their projected road from Wilmington, in Los An gees county, California, to Wickenberg, in Arizona Territory, with branch from some convenient part on the trunk, to Owens River, strikingthat stream about fifty miles above Owens Lake, making an estin ated length. inc elusive of branch, of about 800 miles The petition was presented to Congress on the 9th inst referred to the Committee on Public Lands, and ordered to be printed, From copy of it which has reached us, we learn that the company intend constructing a substantial narrow gauge track, on the plan that has of late been successfully introduced in Norway, England and wales, and which is particular
 y useful in hllv country. The character of the route and resources of the country are set forth at length Particular stress IS laid upon the mineral resources and traffic of the country through which the proposed branch will run, and we are told that the track from Wilmington to Owens River, via Los Angeles, now gives constant employment to fifty 10 and I2-mule teams, over heavy, difficult road, Of about 275 miles long, and the weight of the bullion transferred far exceeds that of the sup plies furnished With a railroad large quan~ titles of ore could be proGtably sent from the mines to be smelted in San Francisco.
 It wss stated by the projectors of the Cal- ifornia and Arizona railroad that it's cost would net exceed $lO,OOO per mile for track 36 inches wide. They appevr to expect a grant of lands, but to what extent is not stated in the petition nor has any bill yet been in'- troduced so far as We know The first recom- mendation will probably come from the Com mittee on Lands A railroad on the route des- cribed would be great public utility. but 1t is improbable that Congres will consent to tie np great body of land for it's benefit. Public opinion is strongly aVerse to further land grants and is likely to be needed. The Southern Pa ciGc Railroad is entitled to grant because the Central and Northern Pacific roads have been SO aided. and it is oGequal importance aud merit but even in this case we hope the grant will be coupled with conditions requiring the sale of the land atGgovernment rates, in small tracts, to actual settlers or others who will occupy and improve it. Beyond this Congress ou,, ,ht not to go IfneS railroad projects are to receive public aid at al it should be only. as we have frequently contendedy by grant of the proceeds of the sale of land This would
 be basis of credit sufficient to start any le-
 giimate enterprise in responsible hands.

One of the first clients was youth who had been arrested at the instance ofa res uectable negro man of family, for having rock ed" his house, and severely injured his daugh~ ter with a stone thrown through the window
 At the examination old Pompy was put upon the stand, and proved the charge in such un- deniabe terms that it would have gone hard with our friends client had it not been for the following cross examination: Lawyer-You say astone came into the room where you were sitting with your daughter ?
 Pomp-Yes, boss Lawyer-Where did it strike her? Pomp-(Silent for While,) don't like to tell, boss. Lawyer-But you must tell demand again. Where did he strike her2

STRANGE TALE OF DIyoRcE.---A strange
case of divorce was decided in the Circuit Court
Of St. Louis on Monday. In ls4s Britton a.
Hin a prominent lawyer Of St. Louis, and his
wife, on Joint petition, were divorced by act
of the Legislature. In 1854 the lady was mar
ried to D. Roberts Barclay, with whom she
has since lived. The property which was al
lowed her by the Legislature is now worth near,
" a million. In 1857 Hill marrled again. ana
during the war Mrs. Hill went to Europe and
in consequence Of some misconduct While there,
her husband sued for divorce. Subsequently
she was reported drowned, which proved false.
Afterward she became attached to the house
hold of King Victor Emmanuel, and some
months ago died, and Hills suit for divorce
was dismissed some time last year. -,
The trustees of Mrs. Barclay, HILLS hrst "lie,
brought suit to compel Samuel Summons 10
purchase a piece of property, according to agree
ment, He refused, on the ground that the
divorce granted by the Legislature was illegal,
and clear title to the property could not be
given. The question was taken to the Supreme
Court, which decided against the Legislature,
and Yesterday, to obviate all difficulties, Hill
applied to the Circuit Court for a divorce from
the wife with whom he has not lived for over
twenty years, and who has been married to
another man for sixteen years. The decree
was granted, and under the law OF the State
the children by both marriages are made legiti-
mate, and all ends well. The case is full OF ro-
mantle details and strange circumstances.
