James Lvck has proposed to the

dow an observatory, to be located at
some point in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, 10000 teet above the level
of the ca, for astronomical purposes,
and to be supplied with every appli-
ance necessary to make it the most
complete Of anything of the kind in
the world. The plan has taken prac-
teal and tangible shape already, and
will doubtless he carried out.
Great interest j felt in the forth
coming 100000 tOur-mile-and-repeat
running race. Thad. Stevens is enter
ed; also the four Eastern flyers, True
Blue. Hubbard, Joe Daniels, and a
Tennessee mare. Ballot Bat will also

Filihustering.

The Salt Lake Herald is authority
for the statement that a tilibustering
scheme for the conquest of Northern
Mexico has been unearthed. Fifteen
thousand laborers, soon to be dis
charged by the completion of their
work on the Texas Pacific road. are
to be organized into an army by the
Confederate and Union officers and
soldiers, who have their headquar-
ters at New Orleans, and marched
across the border, when they will
raise the flag of independence, and
open the ball. The officers who are
planning the movement have formed
q secret society, and are backed by
capitalists, who are TO furnish e
to purchase arms and supplies.
Many of the labOrers have already
been sounded, and are ready for any
thing that promises profit and excite
ment. Such a movement is not I'M
likely, and the story is rendered COM
plete by the assurance that Tom.
Scott and President Grant have
knowledge of it and secretly favor it.

Prepared for Winter.

The people on this coast have
learned to dread the annoying de-
lays occasioned by snow blockades
on the Union Pacific Railroad during
the Winter season. Last week there
was a light fall of snow to the east
ward and straightway came a dis
patch from Omaha that the express
train had been DELAYED many hours
in consequence. But it seems this was
. mistake. The delay resulted from
an accident to one of the locomotives.
We are glad to know that the storm
did not interfere with tie running of
trains on time for we had concluded
that the old story Of snow-bound
trains and no mails was to be re-
peated again the coming Winter.
The Assistant Superintendent of
the road informs a Salt Lake reporter
that the grade has been raised owe a
large part of the most exposed por-
tons of the line. lifting the track, and
thus obviatinS the possibility of
blockades where they have been
most liable to occur. This, in addi-
ton to the extensive fencing where
the grade was heavy, making the
raising of the track impracticable. is
considered by the most experienced
men amply sufficient to meet the
Winter storms and insure safety and

difference in the ordinary time of
transporting passengers and freight.

QuITE NATURAL-Strange stories come from

The Druggist and Chemist contains the story of a
sea captain to whom a sailor applied for 90 some
thing on his stomach The captain consulted
his book of directions, and prescribed q" No. Is"
Unfortunately, however, there had been a run on
No. Is, and the bottle was empty. But the
skipper, remembering old games of cribbage,
made up a dose by combining No. 8 and No. I,
saying, IS and Z make Is !" and the sailor. to
whom the calculation seemed quite natural, took
the mixture with startling effect.
