IDAHO CITY. THURSDAY. JUNE 6. 1879.

A Ten MILLION JOB.-Radical Conventions
are continually adopting resolutions praising
the economy of the present administration and
the honesty of Radical officials, but facts will
occasi onally leak out that are anything but
satisfactory proofs of honesty or economy in
the management of public affairs When in
yestigation is imperatively demanded, and pub
lie clamor can only be appeased by examina-
ton into alleged corrupt practices, whitewash-
ing committees are invaria bly, appointed to do
the dirty work for the Radical leaders. Dur
ing the consideration, by the Senate, of the
general appropriation bill, another leak was
discovered for which some provision had to be
made in view of contingencies hereafter. Sen
ator West, of the Committee on Appropria-
tions, stated in the Senate, May 18th. that the
War Department had, since June 30, 1870,
sold surplus clothing belonging to the Govern
ment for 81 ,575,0 which had originally cost
S11 ,43600O. Even were it susceptible of proof
that the Government, by such sales, had been
robbed and swindled out of four or FIVE mil
lions, a Committee of Investigation would sup
press the facts, spirit away the principal wit
nesses, and exonerate the War Department
and all officers connected Herewith from any
completely in the theft. Uncle Sam is regarded
as a legitimate subject for public plunder, and
those who steal the most from the public treas
ury stand highest in the estimation of leading
Radicals.

A FORTUNE AT ONE BID.-The following is
from the New Bedford Mercury: | heard the
other day of profitable transaction made by
two young Jews who recently arrived here
penniless and almost in rags, which for shrewd-
ness and success has been seldom equalled.
They were walking about the town looking for
employment, when they noticed in the Custom
house quantity of slightly damaged coffee ad-
yertised to be sold at auction in few days.
At once forming their plan of operations. they
Immediately visited various wholesale dealers,
and offered to secure them coffee at five per
cent. discount.
This was accepted and orders received from
reliable firms enough to cover the whole cargo
in the Custom-house. On the day of sale these
two poyerty-stricken Jews were among the
crowd of dealers assembled to inspect the va
rious sacks of coffee. When the bidding COM
menced these two adventurous ones bid very
low. The crowd looked at the poor devils
once, thinking they wanted q sack or two, let
their bid remain good, and it was knocked
down to them at an extremely low figure.
"How much do you want, more than one
sack ?" inquired the auctioneer.
"The whole cargo, sir" they quickly replied.
There was general laugh at their audacity,
which increased when the auctloneer mock
ingly asked for their security. But the tables
were turned when the poor Jews quietly drew
out orders from leading merchants whose gen.
uineress could not be denied, and these before
paupers, found themselves possessed OF eighty
thousand dollars, without spending one cent to
obtain it, or seeing the coffee at all.

How Young Lady Saved Her Life on
Railroad Trestle.

A SHORT distance this side of Union, on
the Union e Titusville Railroad, there is
a very long and very high trestle, and
one upon which nobody ventures who is
at all inclined to be light headed. Imme.
mediately this side of the trestle, there is
a slight curve in the road, so that per.
son walking on it cannot be seen by the
engineer of an approaching train until it
is nearly upon him. On Friday last, as
VIM. Toles, engineer, came around the
curve at a good rate of speed, he was hor-
rihed to discover lady about the middle
of the trestle, and hardly trains length
ahead of him. Quick as thought, al
though his hair was making frantic efforts
TO lift his hat off, "Billy" whistled down
brakes gave her sand, and threw back the
reversing lever, while at the same time he
knew that it was an utter impossibility to
check the heavy train before the victim
would be overtaken AID crushed to death,
and with fixed eyes he awaited the catas-
trophe. The lady heard the warning
whistle, and turning her head saw the
iron monster almost upon her. Escape
seemed impossible; to remain was certain
death, to jump to the ground beneath a
certain death, and to attempt to run
question. Unlike ten thousand ladies,
out of ten thousand and one, she did
not scream or faint or indulge in any non
sense of any kind, but, realizing the situa-
tion in an instant, and taking the chances
all in, she proceeded to an action, which
saved her life in a manner that would have
been an honor to the GOODNESS and
presence of mind of an old campaigner or
lifelong frontiersman. About thirty
inches below the ends of the ties, and
Immediately under the stringer which
supports them, there is joist five inches
wide running from one support of the
trestle to another, and to this the clear
headed girl resorted for safety. Stepping
to the end of the ties she swung herself
down to the narrow thread with all the
apparent ease of gymnast, and with her
arms clasped around it, stretched herself
at full length along it as the train thun-
dered by almost over her. AS soon as the
engineer saw her action he threw off his
brakes and put on steam, hurried past
as soon as possible, when she nimbly
sprang to the track again and pursued her
journey as though nothing had happened.
But every woman who had a husband or
sweetheart on that train has cause to be
jealous of that brave young lady Titus

The Atmospheric Waye-A MeteOrOlOg.
ical Discovery.

WASHINGTON November IS.
RESEARCHES of the Signal Office have
just been rewarded by beautiful and
highly important meteorological discov.
cry. On the coast of England, from
time immemorial, phenomenon of the
great November atmospheric wave has
been the speculation of scientists and sea-
men, but Sir John Herschel and others
have supposed it was peculiar and con-
fined to England and Western Europe,
which it reaches from the South Atlantic,
and over which it rolls in long continued
undulations from October to January,
constituting an important element in the
phenomenal character of European win
ter.
On the 18th of November similar at
mospheric wave began to break over the
shores of Oregon and British Columbia
as is shown by the weather telegraphs.
By the evening of the 18th, it had spread
over nearly all of the Pacific States and
Territories, Utah, and Nevada, and, at
midnight, was pouring through thepasses
of the Rocky Mountains. On Thursday,
the 14th, it descended upon Colorado,
Nebraska, Kansas, and the Indian Terri
tory. On Fridayit extended in unbroken
magnitude from Oregon and Washington
Territory eastward, through the great
trough, or depression, of the Rocky
Mountain backbone in Idaho and Monta-
ma, and stretched thence to the Lower
Missouri and Lower Mississippi Valleys,
and over the Western section of the Mex
ican Gulf. This discovery will enable the
meteorologists to anticipate by many days
the approach of winter, as it advances
from the Pacific coast eastward in the
great current of westerly winds. Itserves
to clear up the old mystery of the Ameri-
can winter storms, showing that they
originate in the Rocky Mountains, upon
whose cold and loftiest submits, in Ne
vada, Utah, Colorado, and Southern Wy
oming, the vapor-laden air of this wave,
coming from over the warm Pacific, is
now seen to be condensed in the over
whelming SHOWS of the forty. first paral-
lei. AS this vast aerial wave is probably,
like the English wave, continued in sue.
cessive undulations for two or three
months, it may assist in explaining the
comparatively high temperature and light
precipitation in winter along Puget's
Sound and eastward.

A Mystery In the Providence POst-Ofiice
Explained.

A certain hardware firm in Providence
expected remittance which failed to
come to hand. Complaint was made to
the post-office, as there was positive proof
that the letter containing the remittance
had been mailed in due form. Search was
made, but to no effect, and the postmaster
at Boston, in whose office the letter had
been mailed, was convinced that theft
had been perpetrated somewhere en- route.
He sent out special agents and detectives,
but to no purpose. A year elapsed and
new agent was appointed, and on his first
visit to Providence was asked to make
diligent inquiry to discover some clew to
the lost letter. The agent transacted his
other business and went TO call upon the
hardware merchants to inquire If they
had heard anything of the lost letter.
They had not, and while discussing its
singular disappearance, severe rain and
windstorm came up, and when he left to
go to the depot the agent gladly accepted
the loan of an old oveTcoat found hang
ing in closet in the hardware store, and
an umbrella; porter accompanied him
to the depot to bring back the borrowed
articles. Taking off the overcoat at the
depot, the agents hand felt something in
the pocket, and knowing II was a spare
coat, belonging to the hardware store
and its employees in general, and TO no
one in particular, he put his hand in and
drew out several unopened letters, and
among them the one so long sought. Re-
turning at once to the hardware mer-
chants TO whom the letters were address,
ed, the mystery was at last explained.
One of the firm recollected receiving the
mail about the time he had expected the
important letter, and that when he
wished to read his letters he could find
none of them. He also remembered that
he had at that time worn that very over
coat.-Cor, Washington Capital.
