ORE SHIPMENT.

The first consignment of copper ore
from the Leviathan mine, Mogul Dis
trict, California, to San Francisco by
way of Carson, was made a few DAYS
since, and now lies at the freight house
awaiting the completion of the V. ct.
K. r. to take advantage of cheap freight
in its transit to a market. The ore of
this mine has heretofore been consumed
by Birdsall e. Co. of Dayton, in the
manufacture of copper, but the great re-
duction of freight, caused by the COM
pletion of the railroad to Reno, and the
material rise in the price of copper, have
opened up new and more profitable
market and given a new impetus to this
enterprise. This is but the beginning.
for there are several mines Just east of
the Spanish dam on the Carson river. on
Clear Creek, at Walker river, and in the
Sierras south, that will soon ship ore to
Reno and San Francisco, for working or
sale, as most of it is rich in the precious
metals, but too base to work at a profit Mt
any of the mills near home. The con-
tinuance and increase of this business
depends much on the " & T. r. r. Co.
n putting freight down TO the lowest liv-
ng rates that done, we may expect a |
'apid increase in this class of freight,
With mutual benefit to the mines, to
carson, and to the railroad company.

Exciting Scene at a Railway Depot.

An exciting spectacle was recently
witnessed at the Yorkshire station of
the Metropolitan railway, near London,
during thunder storm. The station is
in deep cutting, and the fall of rain
was so heavy that a large amount of
water had accumulated, extending for
a considerable distance. As soon as the
6:18 train from Barnet, which was filed
with passengers, emerged from the tun-
mel, the water had reached such a height
that it put the engines fire out, and the
train was consequently brought to a
stand-still. It was found that the points
would not work, and that owing to the
storm the wires of the electric telegraph
could not be used. The latter misfor-
tune was all the more important, mas
much as the express at the time was
overdue. Another engine was produced
by the officials, and chains were attached
to the train. Every effort, however, in
this direction was unsuccessful, owing
probably to the sleepers floating about
in all directions. The excitement at
this period was painful in the extreme.
The majority of the passengers were un-
able to leave the carriages, owing to the
depth of the water which was making
down the line in perfect torrents; wo-
men were fainting, and even the SER
wants of the company seemed paralyzed
with fear, being totally unable to pre-
vent what threatened to be terrible
disaster. A few of the passengers, by
c1int OF the greatest exert1ons, had been
removed from the train, when suddenly
shout announced that the express
was coming, and huge wave was seen
issuing from the tunnel as the train ap-
preached. The same cause, however,
which had placed the Barnet train in
its terrible position, proved its salvation,
for the water also put out the fires in
the other engine and stopped the train
just in time to prevent a terrible acci-
dent.

A Plea for the Brakeman.

The number of brakemen who are
killed and wounded by accident every
year exceeds that of any other class of
railroad employees, four times over.
And yet, in seeking situations, they are
compelled to sign a contract exempting
the road employing them from any
damages in case of accident. There is
hardly a more responsible position on
any train than that of brakeman, and
to stand at theta posts in time of danger
is almost certain death, and as the record
of almost any disaster will show, they
very seldom desert them. 1t is hard to
see the justice of accepting men for
dangerous places, where every hour of
the day they are liable to be crushed in
the couplings of the cars-nnt through
their own carelessness, either-on wages
not proportionately large, and at the
same time, i'll case of their death, refuse
their families small part of the sup
port they have lost.

On the following morning, a large
cencourse of people, including, indeed
pearly every inhabtant of the parish
assembled on the common to witnes!
the approaching combat. Long and
loud were the lamen tations of the
poorer people, who had experienced
much kindness from Mr.. Fooks, at the
fate which awaited him: while the
deepened tones and darkened looks OF
| the gentlemen testified their sympathy
with him and their utter adherence of
his antagonist.
Precisely at twelre o'clock the fol
lowing morning, Magennis appeared on
the field, mounted on splendid blood
horse; dagger was stuck in his belt,
and he brandished an enormous two
edged sword in his hand. He cast a
scornful glance around, and not seeing
his opponent, exclaimed, without ad-
dressing any one in particular
L thought the cowardly fool would
be afraid to meet me; but if he sneaks
away, perhaps one of his friends with
sarcastic emphasis) will take his
place."
Here he comes himself,' cried a
boy, throwing up his hat, and general
cheer announced the approach of Holy
Fooks.
He advanced rapidly, mounted on a
Kerry pony Of so diminutiVe size that
its riders feet were little raised above
the ground. He was completely en-
veloped in an ample crimson dressing
gown, which waved and Haunted in the
breeze after singular fashion. In his
right hand he bore something which
had the appearance of very long
lance; but which, having both extremi-
ties covered by the extended folds of
the dressing-gown, was not as yet clearly
visible With his left hand he shook
the bride, and urged his tiny steed to-
ward the spot where stood the aston
ished Magennis.
Whatever the latter gentleman may
have thought of Mr.. Fook's costume,
his nettled horse seemed to have formed
his own private opinion on the subject;
for ne sooner did the gaudy dressing
gown faunt before his eyes than he
started. SHE'D, and began to prance in
manner which caused his rider to ex-
claim, with an expletive too forcible for
transcription,
"What's the meaning of this buff
foonery? Come and meet me like
man."
Always happy to oblige FRIEND"
said Mr.. Fooks, and suddenly throwing
back the offensive garment he raised
the weapon, and shook it full in the
face of his adversary.
1t was long slender pole, having at
one end distended bladder filed with
dried peas. A fearful thing it looked
in the eyes of Highfiyer, and so appal-
ling to his ears was the rafting noise it
made, that, despite the furious efforts
of his master, he fairly bolted, turned
tail, and galloped at full speed across
the common. After him rode Fooks,
shaking his rattle and shouting:
Come back, Mr.. Magennis come
backl 'Tis a shame for you, man, to
be afraid of a dressing-gow and child's
rattle ~
Faster and faster flew the affrighted
horse, bearing his enraged master be-
yond the inextinguishable laughter
which hailed his defeat, and the bound
less triumph of Holy Fooks.-

upon the same plan that has been SO
successful within the limits of the coun-

the charge for every $50 transmitted.
Upon making this payment the sender
is given a receipt guaranteeing the safe
transmission of the amount or a full
equivalent for it if lost. The value OF
this new arrangement will be very great
to immigrants. The millions of dollars
that are sent to ireland and Germany
have now nearly sn absolute certainty
