 ing Senators regard the Treaty as

 slight hope. In the Senate, on

 the Treaty of Washington, se-
 verely attacked the Administra-

 nies of Virginia City, Nevada, be- fore the Commissioner of the Gen eral Land Office, has been decided in favor of the latter company.

A Faithful Woman.

4 middle-aged woman, recently from New Hampshire, called at one of the numerous employment offices in this city, and told the clerk she desired a situation as do- mestic in some family. A gentle man happened to be present who was anxious to procure just such @ person in his Cwn family. X bar gain was made at once, and the la div accompanied him home and commenced herdutieS immediate ly. A few days after gentleman was invited to dine at the house. When all were seated around the table, this lady came into the room and recognized the gentleman as her long-lost lover. It appears that about twenty years ago they had known and loved each other, and were engaged to De married: but the California fever had car ried him off, as it did many others. It was an old, old story overagain. He had been unlueky in the mines for many years, but finally cameto San Francisco, few years agoIgot a position as clerk in a dry goods store, saved up money and Invested in Crown Point, and is now up in the millions. This story may sound little romantic, but it is every word true. They will soon be married, and the faithful woman rewarded at last for her constancy.-[S. F. Republican.

 Thus the indictment of murder.
 lust and robbery is boldly preferred
 against the Mormon priesthood by
 400 women of the faith. None
 sooner learn or better know of
 priestly infarnies than women of church; none are so slow to de- nounce crimes prepetrated in the name of religion. as women. The document is pointed and specific in its charges, and strong in its ar rav of names. Itmust he answered and not sneered at; it will have to be met and refuted as a grave in. dictment of high crimes; crimes against humanity and civiliza- tion. Murder, lust, rapine, done n America. in the 18th century, in defiance of civil law, but under the sanction of an ecclesiastical authority. diSclOses a condition of things that cannot be longer en dured. The duty of the Govern ment is first to investigate, and if the assertions of this petition are true, it should be sure and sWiftto punish. The more emphatic and resolute should be the condemna- tiOn of these fearful crimes be- cause they are done under the hy- ] pocritical sanction Ofc spurious re- ligion. All the priestly disguises 1 should be torn from before these priestly criminals, and the mantle 1 taken from them under which | they seek to hide their crimes.

GEN. 0. 0. HOWARD.

cIl tlkG 1otIl Ok NkitIClt letctf GcU. Howard was in San Francisco, on his way to Arizona, where he was interviewed by 6 Chronicle
 reporter, and in that conversation the General admitted that the battle of Chancellorsville had been lost through his own neglect, but
 this was not made public until the arrival there of Gen. Joe Hooker, when it was published. On the 22d ult., at the request of Gen.
 Hooker, the same reporter had a long interview with him. The General laid the mystery of the loss ot that memorable battle to the disregard st q telegram sent to Gen. Howard by himself, with regard to the movements of the Confederate forces. In answer to q question as to Gen. Towards bravery, he said: "He was always ~Woinan among the troops. If he
 was not born in petticoats, he ought 10 have been, and ought to wear them. He was always taken up with Sunday Schools and the temperance cause. Those things are all very good, you know, but have very little to do with com manding army corps He would command a prayer meeting with good deal more ability than he would m army" With regard to his mission here ia Arizona, Gen. Hooker says he can give more in- formation on thatpoint than could be got from Gen. Howard. 'He went to Arizona to escape an in- vestigation of certain Freedman's Bureau affairs. The Government had so many investigations lately that they were not anxious about 1t, and so it was an easy matter to find a pretext for sending him off"

Chemical Papers.

A new style Of paper has been recently
introduced, designed to be used for checks,
drafts, and other commercial purposes.
Such is the preparation of this paper that
figures once made upon it cannot be
erased or chemically removed without
leaving mark that would lead to i'm
mediate detection. In the samples of this
paper that have been shown, an admirable
degree of perfection has been obtained
and the invention or discovery promises to
become very popular. The preparation of
this paper is extremely simple. and it is 8
matter of surprise that it was not discover
ed years ago. The coloring material used
is simply dilute writing fluid, which gives
the paper delicate French grey shade.
Characters written with pen on this can
not be removed in any manner. If scratch.
ing is resOrted to, the surface will be
removed and the white body of the paper
underneath would show the attempt. The
coloring matter of the surface being the
same as the ink used in writing upon it,
any chemical preparation that would
remove one would the other, and thus any
attempted alteration would be discovered.
The process it would appear, is designed
to furnish an article for bank checks and
valuable documents that will be absolute
ly proof against alteration. If this result
is obtained the paper will undoubtedly
come into general use, as it will be much
more convenient and satisfactory than the
variety of stamps and punches that arc
now used to secure the same result. The
machines used to cut out or impress the
figures upon the check, at best disfgure
it, and a prepared paper that would be
equally safe would undoubtedly take their
place,

Reform In japan.

Among the brief items Of news from
Japan by the last steamer was the
statement that the Mikado had had his
photograph taken, and that the picture
was selling for fifty cents copy. This
may seem an insignificant bit OF intel
ligence, but it means great deal in
Japan, where taking any drawing, lin
ming, sculpture, or other portrait of
the Son of Heaven had been punisha-
BILE with death. For centuries untold
the Mikado, as q divine being, has been
exempt from sitting for his portrait
and when, few months ago, cunning
German artist succeeded in getting q
negative of q great public ceremonial
in which the Mikado figured, % great
panic ensued the kingdom was turned
upside down, and no peace was had
until every copy of the picture, and
the negative itself, in which the i'm
perial face was no larger than pins
head, was destroyed. But now the
Mikado's photograph sells for fifty
cents. Exit, imperialism.
