rus cloup.BuRsr ON THE RAILROAD.

The Truckee RepnbticdR OF yester-
day gives the following account OF the
recent great cloud-burst on the Central
Pacific Railroad, ear Verdi, and the
consequent obstruction Of the road:
About l o'clock Saturday afternoon,
It commenced raining heavily between
Bronco and the State Line, the storm
increasingly intensity o rSeyeral hours.
The rain was accompanied by heavy
peals Of thunder and vivid flashes of
lightning. The clouds which seemed
TO cover the horizon at that point were
of an inky blackness and held In their
embrace for q brief period, at least, a
vast amount Of water. The fury Of
the storm seemed to have made Its be-
ginning near Bronco Station, on the
railroad, and gathered strength and
fury rs it swept along down the
Truckee river for q distance Of three or
four miles. A gen..e,aan at Bronco,
who witnessed the storm, informs us
that 1t was awfully grand. From half
past l o'clock until 8 the earth trem-
bled and the mountains shook contln-
ually as II In the grasp Of an earth
quake. Rocks, from a few pounds up
to fifty and a hundred tons weight,
came crashing down the steep mount
ain sides, many Of them lodging in the
river. Large quantities Of earth or
mud also slid down, damming up the
river In places. About IL mile be.
low Bronco 4 rock came laundering
down the mountain and rolled through
q dwelling-houSe as easily as II 1t had
been made of glass. Persons were In
the house at the time, but fortunately
escaped injury. The railroad track
was covered at various points along
the river with rocks, mud, broken
limbs and trees. Over two miles Of
the track was rendered temporarily
useless so that trains could not run.
In places the debris piled on the track
was fifteen feet deep, and some OF the
rocks we're so large that they had to
be pulled out Of the way by locomo-
tives. The railroad company began
removing the distractions within an
hour after the storm abated. Nearly
200 men were employed and BY SIREN
uous exertions the road was opened
about 10 o'clock Sunday night. A
freight train narrowly escaped being
caught between Bronco and the State
Line during the storm. Had It been
five minutes earlier 1t would probably
have been wrecked and crushed by the
avalanche, and lives lost. The moun-
tains Immediately below Bronco,
where the storm was most severely
felt, are very PERCEPTIONS, and are COW
cred more or less with loose surface
rocks, that need but little Earring or
force exerted to set them In motion,
and when once In motion they gather
increased momentum until the rail-
road track or the river Is reached. We
understand a similar storm Tor cloud
burst) has occurred once before In that
locality, although less severe In Its
effects.

Planting Himself TO Grow.

Dear little brightseyed W illie,
Always 80 full ofglee;
Always so very mischievous-
The pride o / our home is he.
One bright summer day we found him
Close by the garden wall.
Standing 60 grave and diguifed,
Beside supnower tall.
His tiny feet he had covered
With the moist and cooling sand,
The stalk OF the great, tall sunfower
lie grasped in his chubby band
When be cav us standing near him,
Gezing so wonderingly
At his babytface, he greeted US
With merry shout of glee.
We asked him what pleased him
He replied with lace aglow:
'Mamme, rrl going to be man;
I've planted mysel. to grow"

A TRUE HERO AMONG us.

Henry Bergh, one of the noblest philan-
thropists of our country, the champion of
Our Dumb Ansnals, is spending few days
with US to rest and Iecuperate. He is a
knight as true as ever drew blade to defend
innocence or redress its wrongs. The very
helplessness and inability to reward friends
lifts the Cause of the Dumb Animals to the
loftiest plane of chivalry. Mr.. Bergh has
been the champion of that humble life which
appeals from the silence and mystery that
enshrouds it, with touching power to all
manly hearts. In this cause he has brave
ly met violence, ridicule, and abuse of every
kind with which human brutes have op-
posed all attempt, to protect the domestic
animals under their charge.
We trust, that our citizens will improve
the opportunity to do honor to this brave
and noble man, and that his stay will be
not only pleasant, but improved in a manner
creditable to ourselves. He is as worthy of
honor as the copqueror of hundred battle
fields, and it would be healthy and re-
freshing thing to note, that the Chivalry of
our city, rises above the plane of violence
and bloodshed to recognize such courage
and heroic persistence, as he has shown in
his humane endeavors, now being crowned
with grand success.
"As the Templar home was welcomed
Bearing on his brow, the scars of Arab lances,
And of Paynm. .scimetars,
So we meet thee so we greet thee,

THE VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

- A'-- " AA<h'hh SAhhRH-
Our late dispatches prove beyond all
question that we have carried New Hamp-
shire triumphantly by majority of at least
1900. The Governor and both branches of
the Legislature are ours. The majority IS
larger than the most sanguine of our frien6.s
had anticipated. We rejoice with our
friends who nobly fought and won the field.
We, who strive in less hopeful fields for
the right, may well thank God, and
take courage. We hope that while it is
the occasion Of general rejoicing, it will also
be the signal of renewed faith and fra
ternal unity, in our party everywhere. Let
us close once more around our gallant Chief,
and press forward to plant the Republican
banner upon every stronghold of disloyal-
ty in the land. To the faint and wavering,
we commend our Whittier's glorious
words:
Oh, faint of heart, look upward
To those Northern mountains cold
And gather strength to bear nobler part.

night, says the Progress, was largely atten-

business committee, the meeting was adj
dressed by e. s. Gregory, w. f. G. Gre
CORY, Ro. Penn, Thomas Scott, Supervisor
Presbrey, and several other gentlemen. DIR.
Presbrey expressed deep interest in the
settlement of the tobacco tax question. He
had labored earnestly in conjunction with
| the Hon. James ii. Platte, Jr., to bring
the matter before the government, and was
still willing to do all in his power to effect
relief. Within the last thrty-four months,
the speaker said, Virginia had contributed
s24, 900, 900 of revenue to the government,
and now by the neglect Of the proper legis-
lation, 1000 men are out of employment
and their families suffering. The speaker
closed his remarks amid the applause o
the audience. Resolutions similar in i'm
port to those passed by the meeting in this
city were introduced from the committet
and unanimously adopted.

TNHE EUREKA CORN PLANTER.

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by H. NJ Smith & CO., accom-
plishes what has always been a desideratrim in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted, and as to the dis
tance between the hills. fr.
All planters, depending upon brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
increases the quantity dropped.
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
sity of it, and insures ABSOLUTE REGU-
IT is THE BEST CORN PLANTER IN USE

opinion of all who have used it:

WISCONSIN IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.

1t seems quite remarkable that one of
the youngest states in the Union should
have contributed two of the most ablemen
to the United States Senate. Yet we are
sure that it is no mere personal partiality
which prompts us to support the claim Of
the Milwaukee Sentinel in the remarks
which we quote below:
ssWisconsin is fortunate in possessing
two representatives of distinguished abili-
ty. In this respect she will compare fa-
vorably with any state in the Union--not
comparatively, but without qualification.
Our Senators are both national men, and
have won national reputation. Their tall
marked. Senator Howe's long and patri-
otic course, his strict sense of justice, his
spotless name, his logical and forcible
utterances in behalf of the right,
with an integrity that has new
er been called in question, has
won for him the esteem and effection
of his constituents, and the respect Of the
nation, which justly entitle him to be re-
garded as one of the foremost of the cham
Der that he adorns with his virtues and
talents. Senator Carpenter entered the
Senate as one of its most youthful mem
bers, but his reputation for ability and
eloquence had preceded him and won for
him distinguished position. He did not
have to toll up the hill. AT the begin
ming he found himself upon the heights
of senatorial fame. His profound legal
knowledge, his rare powers of oratory,
are part Of the history of the country

soning and impassioned strains will nat
