ARAN THEoRY.-,rhe San Joaquin
Republican says: II the theory that
early and heavy rains In South Ameri-
ca and Mexico Is indicative Of a wet
season In California, may be relied on
as correct, we may expect an a6und-
ance of rain here the coming winter.
Private advices from the interior Of
Mexico inform US that up to the 2lst
OF August the rain fall there had been
unusually heavy, so heavy In fact that
all fears OF q failure Of crops had dis
appeared. Men who have paid COLI
siderable attention to this theory are
confident of its correctness, and several
of our largest farmers are guided by 1t
In putting In their crops. They say
their observation has proven that when
the rain fall In Mexico (which Is al
ways some two months In advance
Of our rains) ia. light, q drought Is al
most certain here. One farmer In
Santa Clara valley will not seed his
ground unless his Mexican rain advi-
ces are satisfactory. Ono strong evil
dence of the correctness Of the theory
Is, that a drought has prevailed In
Mexico during the past two years, In
consequence Of which q great want OF
food Is felt In many Of the interior
sections OF thatcountry. W. all know
that a drought has prevailed here.
There HIS been no rain either In Mex
leo or California for two years. In
Mexico the drought has now ceased,
and an abundance Of rain Is falling.
VI may expect early rains aud a wet
winter In California.

Buenaventura Pereda sues Chief Of
Police Crowley, Captain Lees and the
Spanish Consul, Camille Martin. for
the return Of $40, 900, which he alleges
was wrongfully taken from him by
them on September 14th. The de-
PENDANTS assert that Pereda Is or was
a Sergeant IN the Spanish army, and
came here under an assumed name,
and that the money, or rather drafts,
Is part of $500, 600 stolen from the
Paymaster Of the Spanish army in
Cuba last Winter, and was voluntarily
given up by him. Pereda, 1t Is al
legged, at first admitted that the funds
we're stolen, and said he was robbed OF
a large sum by a servant In Chicago
and lost g. 900 more by a bad invest
ment here.

SENATOR WILSON recently gave a
graphic account to his neighbors and
friends In Natlck, Mass, Of his visit
to Europe, and told them that, after
all his enjoyment, the happiest day Of
his life was when he came In sight Of

that they will continue coming as they

DEPUTY U. s. MARSHAL SHor.-A
private dispatch to the Marysville Ap-
p,al states that on Sunday last a man
named Henry Gerke shot and instantly
killed another whose name was II. NJ.
P. Mclaughlin, at Gerke's ranch,
north Of Chico. We do not know the
particulars of the killing, or why the
act was committed. Mclaughlin was
Deputy United States Marshal for
California, and whether the trouble
arose from anything connected with
the Office we are uniformed, also as to
who commenced the ARRAY. Gerks
escaped, and at last accounts was still
at large. A later dispatch states that
the deceased was named NJ. P. Nc
Laushlln, Of the firm Of Mclaughlin &
Brewer, real estate agents, Of San
Francisco, and that he was killed at
Vince, Tehama county, on Saturday.
His remains will be taken to San Fran
cisco for burial. Tammany Tribe Of
Red Men, Of which he was a member,
will take charge Of the body.

People say: "The steamer took
a million dollars" just as COM
placently as though a million dollars
could be picked up like dirt. An
ANONYMOUS writer remarks that but
few people have any more Idea what
millions, billions and trillions are than
thew have of the brogans worn by the
cobblers who inhabit the moon. A
million Of silver dollars possesses a
yaseN1ss that Is rather startling to a
man Tso has never faced such a pile.
10 count this sum at the rate Of one
Thousand five hundred dollars an hour,
and eight hours a day, would require =
mar nearly three months. If the said
dollars we're laid side by side, they
would reach one hundred and thirty
six miles, while their transportation
would require fourteen wagons carry
ing two tons each. II millions become
thus overpowering In their magnitude,
what shall we do with larger sums ?
The seconds In six thousand years
seem almost i~ncalculable, and yet they
amount to one-fifth less than a trillion.

says: "A strange freak Of nature has
taken place In the track Of the severe

Of the kind occurring heretofore. It
Is this: that all the orchards In the
track Of the hailstorm have come out

on, and thousands Of bloom on the
same tree. A very pretty but strange

WHITES AND INDIANS. "A CORE
spondent Of the San Francisco Alta,
who Is making a tour through the In
dian country In the northwestern part
Of Montana and Washington Terrific
ries, writes as follows concerning tho
whites and Indians:
When the Hudson Bay Company
first established their posts In British
Columbia, they took unto themselves
wives from among the people. They
married after the Indian fashion, and
the squaws soon learned from their
lords the ways of civilization, and
abandoning the covering Of skins,
adopted the calicoes Of their white
sisters. The Indians were delighted
with the idea Of making their women
q marketable article, and a pair OF
blankets or q bottle of rum was for a
long time the standard price Of a wife.
The offspring seemed to lose nearly
altogether the Indian characteristics,
and became extremely proud Of their
white parentage. Settlers who fol-
lowed the Hudson Bay people readily
walked In their footsteps In this re-
spect, and to-day but few men are
without IN Indian ~housekeeper. It Is
really surprising to observe how read
lily those squaws, or "Klutchmen, fall
into the manners and vices Of women
of the higher race. Their passion for
dress is unbounded. I have e 9 the
lady Of the house, a dumpty and WON
derfully ugly squaw, strutting across
a stable yard In a silk dress with a
veritable Grecian bend, to the admira-
ton Of her liege lord, tho hostler.
The "Chenook," a jargon Of Saxon,
French and Indian, compiled by the
Hudson Bay Company, Is the language
OF the country, and the man who 10
unable to converse In 1t Is regarded aS
q backward individual by the Indians.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-A decision
tina. affects the right Of many persons
In the State Of Nevada was rendered
yesterday In the United States Circuit
Court by Justice Field. The suit was
brought by the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company to quiet title to a num-
Der Of pieces Of land claimed by set
tiers who had made their locations on
the line of the Pacific Railroad after
the passage of the bill, but before tho
route was fixed. These tracts were
owned by the railroad, and the settlers
demand damages and threaten to bring
suit. The company anticipate them
by a suit to quiet title. Justice Field
decides that the grant to the railroad
went into effect when the bill passed ;
the settlers took their claims subject to
the provisions of the bill ; and the
rights Of the company to the land are
not dependent upon the date when the
road was located. These points arose
on a demurrer, but as that raised all
the material questions in the case, the
decision overruling the demurrer viz
tually finishes the SUITS. F Alta, 18th.

The knowing ones among the guests
still remaining at saratoga are rolling
a sweet morsel Of scandal under thelr
tongues, from }nich much 1uciness
seems to have Heen extracted. The
parties affected ate the wife Of a nad-
Ing turfman. who has a large stable OF
horses at the Springs, and a young
man who has beefsportlng 1t At Sara
toga during the last Summer. She Is
young, pretty and vivaolous; he gay
and handsome, and in New York,
where he resides Is known as n OF
those Broadway statues" whose only
mission seems to be to lure unsuspect-
ing victims to destruction. They met
one morning at the spring ; there was
q look, a frisk Of the handkerchief an
acquaintance formed, and In a little
while a fallen woman and a dishonored
husband. The gossips talked and their
words reached the ears Of the wronged
husband. He Is q cool, determined,
resolute man. He went straight to
the "swell," charged him with his
crime and demanded a confession. The
young mar denied his guilt. "Tell
me ALL" said the other, "or | will kill
you on the spot" The guilty wretch
saw In his look the determination Of n
man who meant what he said, and to
ave his worthless life he told the story
Of the crime which had undone the hus-
band. The wife was next interviewed
she denied, protested, begged, ell
treated, but confessed at last. A law
yer was sent for, and property which
had been presented to her by her hus'
band was decided back to him. They
parted forever. The next step was an
action for divorce-which Is now pend
ing before a referee In the village. It
may be mentioned that one Of the sad
features of the case Is the previous his
tory of the husband, and the effect this
blight may have upon his life. Pre-
ylous to marriage he was a dissipated,
hardened wretch. Marriage reformed
him-thoughts of his wife made him a
prudent, careful, temperate man
though perhaps a too indulgent, pet
ting husband. He Is said to be utterly
overwhelmed with grief, and hls.friends
fear that the disgrace Of his wife may
drive him back to his former Intern
perate course Of life.

IT seems almost certain now that the
robbery Of vouchers In Comptroller
Connolly's office vas committed at the
instigation and procurement Of tho
Tammany Ring, in order to destroy
evidence Of their guilt, and at the same
time to furnish a pretext for forcing
Conuolly's resignation. The discovery
Of the thief leaves no doubt that Con-
molly was entirely innocent of that
crime, whatever may be his guilt in
other matters,
