BRITISH BREAKFAST TABLES. The
Pail Mall Gazette complains that Brit
ish breakfast tables are threatened with
a serious disaster, since the French
Government had prohibited the expor-
tation of salt butter and eggs from
France. The Gazette says that while
the agricultural population is diminish
ing, the manufacturing and commercial
districts are increasing in numbers, so
that the English people will year by
year have to rely more and more upon
foreign producers to supplement the
insufficient home grown stores. In 1869
England imported $50, 900, 600 worth of
butter, of which one-third came from
France. During the five years ending
December 31st, 1869, there were i'm
ported into England, from France, $50, y
1856, 600 pounds of butter, and l, $50, :
5000 eggs, giving yearly average of
As, OFT, 200 pounds of butter, and $3.50,
10000 of eggs. From these figures it
may be seen that the English people
will be seriously Inconvenience from
this embargo

VElvETEEN, in all colors, is very
much worn for ladies' garments, but
black is the most preferred. Some of
this material is made so fine that an
expert cannot distinguish it from silk
velvet. For street wear, indeed, by
ladies of great wealth, even, it is Sc
ected rather than silk velvet, being
considered more appropriate Moth
ing can be handsomer than a tastefully
made suit of black velveteen, with
overskirt, all profusely trimmed with
grebe or sealskin. The latter fur looks
neater, and is more fashionable.

MOUNTED RIFLEMEN. is observed
that in the present war in Europe the
German cavalry has not made any APP
proach towards discovering the way in
which to operate dismounted, so as to
protect itself against small bodies of in
fantry under cover This deficiency
has rendered it necessary for the divi-
sions of cavalry employed around Paris
to constantly take with them detach-
ment of Bavarian rifemen to clear their
way in difficnltlocalities SO also, when
Groeben's division was engaged in pill
citing Manteuffel's way, and in keeping
his flank clear on the march from Metz
a half battalion of German Jagers ac-
companied each brigade of horse, and
for the sake of moving more rapidly,
were placed in country carts impressed
for the work The English journals in
commenting upon these movements,
say thats the infantry carried in carts
form at best very poor substitute for
the mounted rifles, whose services as
skirmishes in a wooded country, where
long marches were necessary, were
found to be invaluable in the war of the
rebellion in this country.

The eastward bound night express
train on the Missouri and Pacific Rail
road ran off the track Thursday, at Ru-
ger Station, seventy five miles west OF
St Louis. and completely wrecked the
express and baggage car. VIM. Helm,
of Atchison, Kansas, express messen-
ger, was seriously and the baggage
master slightly hurt. The accident was
caused by the sinking of the sill on
which the switch rests, and although
The indicator properly placed the
switch, the rail did not connect with
the rail on the main track, and there
was about fifteen inches tiange. One
of the locomotive wheels was torn off
the engine, and ran SEINE three hun
bred yards over the frozen
ground. The express car ran into a
freight train on side track, badly in
iuring it's engine and leaving hardly a
vestige of itself, while the baggage car
was hurled down an embankment. But
for the breaking OF the couplings a ter
rible loss of life would have resulted,
as the train was running at high rate
of speed and had some 200 passengers
on board. Damage to the train, S20,
900 to $4,000

was she urged by the proprietor, Mr..
Luck, to escape; but she wanted her
trunk. This she .got, but then sshe
wanted to save something else, and at
last all the avenues of escape were cut
off and she was swallowed up by the
devouring element Besides this lady

because it's natural horrors swallow up
armies like the Serbonian bog, but for
aggression it is nothing, except as

incubus of the great horror which seized

A CURIOUS SToRY.-A late number of
the Commercial Advertiser Of Honolulu
relates the fact that one of the whale
ships in that harbor recently captured
whale in the Arctic seas, which had
in its carcass harpoon. This harpoon
was known to belong to a ship which
was at that time cruising In the North
ern seas, on the other side of the CONT
nent. The whale had evidently passed
from one open sea to the other by way
of the Pole. He must have found open
water, for even whale must come up
at short intervals to blow. tbs certain
that the Polar sea is navigable for
whales from one side of the continent
to the other But while it does not
follow that ships would follow the same
track, the fact cited is one of consider
able interest. Shipmasters may be
able to navigate the Polar sea when
they know as much about navigation in
high ATTITUDES as this whale with har-
poon sticking in his back

wild cry rang through the house, re-

tic and despairing energy, your CORE
spondent, whose room was In the left
wing of the building, in the third story,
woke up, and, after getting on some
clothes, rushed into the long passage,
now filled with smoke. A terrible scene
met the eye through the smoky atmos-
phere. The forms of half dressed males
and females could be seen rushing, they
knew not whittier, and shrieking with
despair. Proceeding further to the
head of staircase all egress was block
ed up with an indiscriminate mass of
luggage and people trying to escape
Rushing then to the right wing of the
building another staircase was reached
which brought one to the second floor,
and here the long corridors but served
as fiues to conduct the flame through
the building. Continuing on, the
ground floor is reached at last, and
then the cold, icy air strikes the face.

chivalry worthy of mention. A young
man named Towers sprang forward,

carried it distance of several squares

TO THE DEMOCRACY.

The Oakland News thinks that the SUBJ
sidy decision will be death to the Demo-
cratic party. 1t says:
at is not our purpose to discuss the
justice or policy of the Act under con-
sideration; it is not the creation of our
party; we have nothing whatever to do
with it. 1t is Democratic Act, passed
by Democratic Legislature, approved
by Democratic Governor, and sustain
ed and declared constitutional by Democ-
ratio Supreme Court. Whatever bad re-
suits follow must be attributed to that
party, and whatever good ensues must be
set down to its credit.
1t matters nothing that the leading
Democratic newspapers are now bowling
against railroad subsidies. Here are the
clearly defined acts of their Legislature,
their Supreme Court-of their party in all
the departments of its administration, and
whatever capital they can make out of the
subsidy question in the coming campaign,
they are welcome to.
The Democratic platform upon which
its last Legislature was elected contained
noisy pledges of economy and constructive
opposition to subsidies; yet that Demo-
cratic legislation voted by two-thirds in
favor of nearly every subsidy bill in sight,
and for a good while Governor Haight
did little else than sign railroad subsidy
bills. Now, when their lying public jour
mails are again bowling against subsidy,
can we believe them? Will they not
again do the same thing at the first oppor-
tunity?
The situation of Gov. Haight is ex-
tremely ridiculous. So long as there
were railroad subsidy bills to be signed the
obliging Governor went on currende cdlamo
signing things as fast as presented. After
wards, having been taken with qualms of
conscience-or, as we may call them, con
scientious gripes-the Governor issues
series of epistles against the wicked enor-
nifty of subsidies. Nay, more-having
done his best to place the several counties
at the disposal of railroad corporations, he
is now setting up as anti-subsidy candi-
date and loudly proclaims that he is the
only man that can save the commonwealth
from being devoured by rapacious railroad
corporations! For very little man the
Governor has most enormous cheek"

SHASTA COURIER.
THE GREAT RAILROAD PROJECT.

1t is said to be fact that the California
Pacific. Railroad is to be extended to Ogden,
so that trains can run from the Western
Terminus through to New York without
change of cars. A portion of the plan is
the bridging of the Missouri river by the
Union Pacific and the Eastern companies.
The plans of organization, and the probable
facts, are said to be these: "Tbe combina-
ton which already includes the Pennsylva-
MIA Central Railroad, and its connecting
lines with New York, the Pitsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad, the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad, and the Union
Pacific Railroad, forming one continuous
line, with uniform guage, from New York
to Ogden, having determined to complete
a through line from Ogden to the Pacific,
independent of their connection with the
Central Pacific" The name of the new
road is the California Pacific Eastern Ex-
tension" and, although originating from
the California Pacific, it will be run as a
separate company from it.
The incorporation, which will be perfect
ed in aIfew days, is for the purpose of con-
structing road from Davisville, on Putah
creek, in this county northward to the
California and Oregon line passing west of
Beckwourth Pass, thence by an easy grade
around the Southeastern side of Goose
Lake, to Christmas Lakes, thence through
Southern Idaho, to point Northwest of
Salt Lake, where it Will bend Southwardly
and run to Ogden.
- 1t is said that, although their route will
be hundred miles longer than that of the
Central Pacific, it will avoid the heavy grade
across the Sierras, and consequently be
capable of making better time between
Ogden and San Fracsco than the Central
Pacific could possibly hope to accomplish !;
and also the country through which the
road is designed to be built is capable of
furnishing large local business. At some
future time there will be connection to
the mouth of the Columbia, and to Puget
Sound, and the whole of Northern Califor
MIA will be brought in ready contact with
the market. The length of the proposed
route is about 1000 miles, but as British
capitalists have taken hold of the enter
prise, there is no doubt of its ultimate sue
cess. The building of this great cont
nertal highway will be of the utmost
importance to Vallejo, as this city will be-
come the real terminus of the overland
railroad route. We suppose Stanford &
Co. will use all of their exertions to prevent
the construction of the new road, but as the
company who have taken the project in
hand ask for no favors from the Govern
ment or from State Legislatures, and as
they have the credit and the capital sufi-
cient to build it, there is no fear that they
will be deferred from carrying out their
designs by the effort of a rival route to
perpetuate its own monopoly. We say,
again, that the building of this road is an
other evidence of the fact that Vallejo is
destined to become the great railroad cen
tire of the State.-Vallejo Recorder.
