UNION PACIFIC R.1LRoAD.-Our dis
patches yesterday indicate bad condi-
ton of things on the Pacific Railroad
A passenger train has been twelve days
in going from Omaha to a point 480
miles east of Ogden. As that point is
1,032 miles from Omaha, and Wyoming
is 4S5 miles from Ogden, it is probably
between Laramie and the next station
west that the trains have been
brought to stand still,
Theroad at the point of interruption
runs through level country, a treeless
waste, over which the wind has free
sweep, and through which cuts of prob
ably less than ten or twenty feet deep
are of frequent occurrence. These cuts
are filled by drifting snow as fast as it
falls, which of course cannot be thrown
ont by the snow-plow. The partial
melting of this snow during the day,
and its freezing again at night, and the
sand which drifts in from the bare
places upon the plain, form a mass of
solid material defying the snow-plow
and yielding only to the pick and shovel
The effort has been made to control or
direct the currents of wind by means
of fences, set at different angles, and in
that way keep the cuts clear by means
of the power that fills them, but "the
wind bloweth where it listeth" and the
fences do not seem to have been ade-
quate for the purpose which they were

4 PRECOCIOUS CRIMINAL,

A few weeks ago a boy fifteen
years Of age, employed in banking
house, disappeared suddenly with
$40, 1000 in stocks, bonds and curren-
cy. The matter was hushed up, and
the enterprising reporters for the
daily newspapers for once, at least,
were cheated out of first-class item.
The robbery was given to a detec-
tive to work up. Going to New
York that asylum for all sorts Of
rogues, who are apparently protect
ed, or rather covered" by the po-
lice authorities the officer amused
himself in travelling Broadway and
the Bowery, and finally fell upon the
youngster. Eight thousand dollars
of the missing funds were found on
his person, the fast youth having
managed to get away with the bal,
ance in a fortnight, The young man
was placed in the bank to learn the
business. On account Of the high
standing of his parents and the wish
of both parents and the law to save
the youth from disgrace, the crime
has been overlooked for the present,
at least, and it is probable that the
name fthe precocious thief will new
er get into the papers. Besides, it
would not be good policy to let the
public know Of the existence Of such
a highly respectable young theft

PLEASONTON AS A WIT
NESS.

WASHINGTON, July 28.-The
Star says editorially Of Gen. Pleas
onton's reliability as a witness:
"To those who know Gen. Pleas
onton, his positive averments Of facts
do not weigh more than a pound
a piece, and when it comes to his
impressions they are entirely too at
tenuated in value to be counted.
When Pleasonton was seeking to
get the revenue department divorced
from the treasury department, and
put under his own control, it will be
remembered that he put forward q
similar unfounded statement in re-
spect to the wishes of the President
IN the premises. IF he ever APP
preached Schurz on the subject ma
med twas probably for his own pur-.
poses. Taking the probabilities Of
the case into consideration, it is
quite unlikely that President Grant
would have put himself into the pow.
er of man he kicked out Of power
50 unceremoniously as he did Pleas
onton."

The National Statistical Bureau
furnishes some interesting statistics
in reference to those prime articles of
every day use, tea, coffee, and sugar.
The entire consumption Of tea for
the past year amounted to 44,798,-
845 pounds, or about one and quar-
ter pounds to every man, woman and
child. This is quite an increase
over the consumption Of 1866, when
a half-pound was the average. Of
coffee there was consumed during the
year, 312,735, 036 pounds, or over
eight pounds to the Individual. In
1866, when war rates prevailed,
mashed barley, chicory, and brown
bread reduced the average to four
pounds. TO sweeten our tea and
coffee, with the extracts Of fruits,
cake, etc., the enormous number Of
1863, 400, $50 pounds Of sugar were
consumed in 1871, or an average Of
thirty-eight pounds. In 1850 we
made more sugar than we bought.
Now, we import five times more than
we make.

BOWEN'S SCURRILOUS LET
TER.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Ex-
Mayor Bowen has printed very bit
ter attack on the President, charging
that the latter swindled him in the
purchase Of house in this city.
The facts in the house matter are
that Bowen was bargaining with
General Grant for its purchase. AZ
terward the gentleman concerned in
the purchase Of a house to present
to General Sherman, pitched upon
this house as one they particularly
wanted, and it was purchased of
General Grant, Bowen taking his
81, 200 back, and Mr.. and Mrs. b.
wen both signing the deed Of release.
Bowen has been pleading his accom-
mediation in this matter as a means
Of obtaining office for several years.
During the past winter he was a
persistent applicant for the position
of Minister to the Argentine Repub-
lie, and the late appointment of Cen
eral White, Of Illinois, instead, is
the immediate cause of Bowen's at
tack. He has also tried hard to be
made Minister to Brazil.

THE GENEVA ARBITRA-
TION.

GENEVA, July 28.-The recent
interruption Of the sitting of the
Board Of Arbitration occurred through
the necessary re-examination of the
English law on questions regarding
the construction Of privateering yes
sells in British ports, and also inves-
LEGATION as to whether the British
Admiralty used sufficient diligence
in preventing these vessels from go
ing to sea. Offour cases advanced,
England repudiates three, and in the
fourth she contends that the Admi-
rally acted promptly, although the
police neglected to take the proper
steps to prevent her departure. The
court is also considering the ques-
ton Of allowing interest on the
amounts awarded. 1t is stated that
a majority Of the board are unfavora-
bic to such allowance. It is regard
ed as probable that after careful
investigation Of each case, the tribu-
nails will fix the amount of indemni-
ty to be paid by England at a gross
SUM. Charles Francis Adams pre-
sents firm attitude in maintaining
the claims Of the United States. The
conciliatory disposition universally
manifested by the American repre-
sentatives commands much admira-
ton, as also does their assiduous la
Dor in behalf of their cause.

THE COMPANY WE MEET ON
THE STREETS.


On Saturday afternoon Herald
reporter who during term Of years
has had occasion to see many people
bolted through the courts for various
offences, saw something on Washing
ton street, while passing the distance
OF only one block that, perhaps, no
other person in Boston would have
observed or made note Of. He first
met a man on the sidewalk who was
dressed in the very height Of fashion,
sporting diamonds in his shirt bosom
and on his fingers, who had done
time in the House Of Correction for
vending Intoxicating liquors, and was
not out twenty-four hours. Exchang-
ing word with him as he passed
along, and before going ten steps he
espied another fne-appearing man
passing in his carriage, full Of bust
ness and driving his own team. That
man was out of prison for only a few
months after being under lock and
key for fifteen years. Before reach
ing the next corner he was accosted
by handsomely-dressed young girl,
who, not being able to control the
proud and irregular passions Of her
mind, had been crowded through the
court for crime and posted off to
prison for term of two long years
which time expired less than ninety
days ago. While exchanging few
words with this unfortunate girl, a
man passed who is now under very
heavy bonds to appear in court to an
swer to most serious criminal charge.
All this on one one block in Wash
ington street in less than ten minutes,
among throngs Of good people who
were passing to and fro, not thinking
how ungodly some folks are. Well,
such is life.-Boston Herald.

JUAREZ.

The news Of the sudden death Of
President Juarez will be received rot
with surprise, merely, but with re-
greet, by the friends of Mexico in this
country. 1t is not SO much that Ju-
.arez was liked as that he was respect
ed, that will be the source Of this feel
ing. He was a firm and determin-
ed ruler, and such one as Mexico
has long needed to control the turbu-
lent element in its population and en-
sure her tranquility. Even he, as
late events have shown, has not al
ways been able to do this, but Mex
leo, under his rule, has, nevertheless,
been more free from internal convul-
sions than for many years before.
That rule, perhaps, was not more
stern, though it sometimes seemed
cruel, than the character Of the peo-
pie he governed, and the evil times
he fell upon, required. For many
years Mexico has been in a condition
of chronic revolution, the govern
ment usurped now by this man and
now by that, but without stability
or safety to life and property under
any Of them. Juarez conquered a
peace and has maintained it longer
than anybody else has ever been able
to do, and his character, his friends
maintain, should be judged by there
suits he produced, rather than by
the means he used to produce them.
On this ground they justify his exc
cution Of Maximillian as simply q
stern act Of justice against a foreign
er who had invaded the country and
usurped the government. 1t was
better, they maintain, that he should
perish, that an end might be put to
all such acts Of foreign interference
in the affairs Of Mexico, which could
only lead to the shedding of native
blood. sympathy Tor MIN, therefore,
in his youth and many engaging
qualities, and pity for his death, are
alike misplaced.
Whether history will thus justify
all the acts Of Juarez or not, it Is
certainly true that his rule, in the
sense here indicated, has been sue
cessful, and his death at this time
will probably prove unfortunate.
It may be that he has left a govern
ment behind him, and a man to sue
coed him, strong enough to suppress
rebellion and to maintain peace IN
Mexico, but that remains to be seen.
