THE ARoUMRNTs OF CROWNED
HEADS.

The Berlin Post gives the following
estimate Of the strength Of the armies
Of Europe. Kaiser William has l,Oo2,-
SOC men ; the Gar Of Russia has, be-
sides the Cossacks, l.362.464 men ; the
Emperor of Austria has 963, $50 men ;
France has 565,5 37 lei under arms;
Italy has 5Ol,977; England $4,000
men !; and Belgium, Holland. Dem
mark. Spain and Turkey together have
93l, 1854. Thus we have the enormous
total Of $50, S9S men who make arms
a profession. These men, in their
prime and full capacity for labor. live
in idleness at the expense Of Govern
ment, but the cost Of equipping and
maintaining them give employment to
thousands Of producers whose laoors
are also withdrawn from other Indus
tries, and TO that extent virtually
wasted. This will give some idea Of
the burdens imposed on labor and cap
ital for the keeping Of a standing ar
my. Although the expense Of having
so many men under arms is enormous,
we have no reason to hope that they
will be decreased to any great extent,
as the crowned heads are mutually
jealous, and are constantly on the
alert to check, II possible, the superior
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of one over the other,

The Texas Railroad Survey.

The San Diego Union says: "Jo-
seph Crawford, Texas aud Pacific Eli
gincer. returned to town on the 22d
from Fort Yuma, accompanied by j..
A. Evans, Jr. and Mr.. Jackson, men,
bers Of the party Of which he had
charge. Since the departure of Mr..
Crawford and his party, n little over
two months since, a little over 500
miles OF line have been run by them.
The Crawford party has been operat-
ing Oh the San Gorgonio route. a
line was first u from a point nearthe
Pass to the edge Of the desert; then the
party returned to 4 point which was
afterwards intersccted by the line OF
the Fox party, and from there another
line was run through San Gorgonio
Pass down to the desert, aud from
there direct to Fort Yuma. The Reno
party was LEFT by Mr.. Crawford and
companions at Algodones Station, on
the desert. From this point they will
return to the neighborhood OF Bear
Canyon. The Reno party proposed
pushing the survey OF their line up the
ella; river to the Pima Villages. Ow-
ing to the Indian dcpredations which
have recently been committed at Oat-
mar Flat, this plan has been temper
arily abandoned. and the Reno party
Is instead ordered to assist in r~e.locat-

The Cottonwood Catastrophe.

The Salt Lake Herald Of December
3lst, gives the following relative TO
the recent fatal snow slide catastrophe
in Little Cottonwood Canyon:
Four bodies have been recovered
from the scene OF the late catastrophe
those of Dutch Pete, Leroy Dibble, L.
J. Triplett and James Elliot. Mr..
Triplett was brother.in-law to Mr..
George Chandler, and his body was
brought to town on Sunday evening.
Mr.. Elliott was a teamster for Mr..
Benham. Triplett's team was found.
as were also two of kelley's. Some OF
STILES horses were found without a
particle Of harness OH them, but it Is
not expected that all the bodies Of the
men and carcasses Of the animals will
be recovered until the snow melts in
the Spring. The Emma and Flagstaff
mines each sent a force Of men to aid
In the search for the recovery Of the
bodies ; and the citizens Of Alta have
turned out to make n new road on the
other side Of the canyon. which Is a
very sensible and spirited proceeding
OH their part. The telegraph wire IL
down for several miles. Tho roads
are very muddy and heavy up to Tan.

How He Died.

There is a dead gamblerin C~ircleville
Ohio, and it happened in this wise :
Among other luxuries he kept a mis-
tress, Alice, and having one evening
discovered the foreman Of a printing
establishment in amorous dalliance
with that same Alice, he swooped
down on him and rent his garments,
and I'll Ct arn,is elected him from the
domiclle ; nor then was his wrath ap-
peased, for he commenced a promis-
cuous demolition af the furniture, and
when he had ~pulverized it to his vicious
satisfaction he casually remarked !:
"There. now (the next thee words
were wickedL keep house II yon want
to-" Seeing that the fragmentary
condition of her chattels rendered that
somewhat impossible, she rose In her
wrath and with a sharp instrument
punctured the earthly tenement OF that
gamblers soul insomuch that the ten
ant fled. and she has been indicted
for gamblercide, aud she has been
invited, By an intelligent jury to con-
tinue her depredations.-S. F. Figaro.

posses.ory Titles to Mines.

Our attention has been called to an
important requirement Of tho present
mining statute Of Congress, which does
not appear to have yet received the
attention on this coast which IL de-
serves. This Is the annual expenditure
required in order to hold possessory
title to unpatented claims and prevent
relocation by other parties. The Act
Is not mandatory as to obtaining pat
ents within any specified time, but
permits those claimants who have ex-
pended not less than $500 upon their
claims to apply for and receive patents;
but until a patent Is obtained claimants
Of lodes located before the 10th Of May,
1872. are required to expend thereon
not less than $40 annually for every
100 feet claimed on the lode, while to
hold a claim (of 1900 feet), located
after that date, necessltates an annual
expenditure Of not less than 500
thereon, in labor or improvements, in
default Of which In any one year the
claim will lapse and be open to re-
location.
In many Of the districts the local
regulations provide that upon the ex-
penditures on a lode aggregating a
certain amount, the claimant Is re-
lieved from further outlay thereon to
maintain his possessory right, and
| many valuable claims are so held In
good faith by parties, many Of whom
are absent from their claims and un.
aware that they are affected BY said
statute. Through a want Of compli-
ance with this provision Of the Con-
gressional law, it Is estimated that
hundreds Of valuable claims will be
open to relocation by the 10th Of May
next, and 1t Is understood that parties
are already organizing with the view
OF efecting these r%elocations after that
date, when present possessory titles
shall have lapsed. A publication oil
these facts may prevent loss to unsus'
pecting parties, and the newspapers
printed In the mining districts will be
doing a public service by calling spe'
cial attention to them at an early day,

Organized System Of German Emlgra'
ton.

Despite the efforts of the German
authorities to check emigration to the
United States and other countries, the
outward tide still continues. The re-
cent edict OF the Government-increas-
ing railroad charges to the %seaboard-
looks very like interposlng a barrier to
the emigration movement, Its aSSerya-
ton that the increase was from purely
economic considerations to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. This quasi re-
preston seems, however, to have given
a stimulus to the desire to exchange
the old world for the new, as there has
been recently organized in Germany
the German-American Colonization
Association, with the object Of arrang-
ing a systematic emigration to various
parts Of the American continent, but
principally to the United States.-S.
+. Bulletin.
This quasi repression consists in
this; until quite recently emigrants
were permitted to ride in third.cla
r ut the same ate that they now
have to pay to travel in the fourth
class. Simply this and nothing more.

SANDWICH ISLANDS GOVERN
MENT.

The Sandwich Islands, siuce their
discovery by Captain Cook, have grad
ually decreased In population. In
this respect their history Is that Of all
aboriginal races who come in contact
with white men. They generally con-
tract the faults without the virtues OF
the latter named; and they are now
reduced to a population of probably
fifty thousand. BY tho death Of the
late KingI they are left with IN ex-
tinct dynasty, and now Is their oppor-
tunity to come under the protectorate
OF the United States. During the
reign Of Kamehameha ". there was q
strong disposition to annex the Is
lands to the United States. The King
favored the measure, but owing to our
civil war and other causes, the plan
was not carried out.

Captain w. II. Henderson, an old
pioneer and a man highly respected
wherever known, departed this life
yesterday, says the Phoebe Record OF
December 2Sth, at the age Of CT years.
lie was a native Of New York State.
In early life 4 love of adventure d.
rected his steps westward. He took
service in the American Fur Company,
and as early as 1929 penetrated the
then wild regions Of the Yellowstone
country. He was once n deputy as
SCISSOR Of Nevada county, Cal. He also
lived at Austin and other camps In
this State; but for two years Or more
he had been in Lincoln county, en-
gagged principally at the carpenter
business. He is spoken Of in the high
est terms by all who knew him in life,
and In death they will not forget the
respect due to his memory. His re-
mains will be inferred at IL o'clock
to-day. from the Courthouse. Friends
and acquaintances and the public gen.
orally are invited to attend.

Oregon Oysters.
From the Portland Bulletin


The California dispatches state that
five hundred bushels of oysters were
received in San Francisco on the 10th

take. Years ago a considerable trade
In oysters vas carried on between Va

Co., Of the latter city. and Captain
Dodge, who lost his life by the wreck
of the schooner Champion, of Astoria,
some two or more years ago, were In
terested In the business, which was
then of sufficient magnitude to require
the services Of a schooner, plying con-
stantly between the two ports. Oys-
terville, a brisk and prosperous little
village devoted to the trade, sprang
I'D, and employment was furnished to
a considerable number Of men. For
some time the company realized an
encouraging profit, but were finally
compelled, by the loss Of several val
liable cargoes OIL account Of the length
of the voyage to relinquish the enter
prise altogether. There was no law
at that time to protect shell-tsh, anu
the Pioneer. q little steamer for the
accommodation OF the travel up and
down the bay. was furnished with a
dredger, which wa used with profit to
her owners, but almost lrremediable
injury to the fisheries. For about six
years since the failure Of the company
named, tho oysters Of Yaquins have
not been disturbed for commercial
purposes. further than to supply the
local demand. A company Of expert
enced aud industrious oysterInen, resi-
dents Of the bay. have, during the in
terval, been %cultivating these subma-
rine gardens Of shell-fsh, by planting
or transplanting. with gratifying sue
cess. The oysters have increased In
size and quality, and the area Of the
fishery has been widely extended.
Yaquina is destined to compete with
Shoalwater in the oyster trade, and
will finally take the lead.

THE CRoPs.-The Piedmont Virgin
ian says: 'Fhe cutting of wheat is
about oyer with us, and it is conceded
by all competent judges to be the best
crop that has been made for many years
and the quality is magnificent. Colon
ell John Willis, whose farm is immo-
diately upon the W. c., V. NJ. & G.
5 T. r., and about two miles South of
Of Orange G. H., has, it said, the finest
crop Of wheat that has been grown in
that vicinity for many years. III fact
it Is the best he has ever made, and
he has been growing wheat for .many
years. The late rains have given the
oats, which few weeks ago promised
such a poor yield, new start, and now
promise to make an average crop at
least. The grass promises TO be bet
ter than any we have had for several
years
The Port Tobacco, Nd, Times SAYS :
"Farmers have pretty generally finished
harvesting their wheat crops, and it
gratifies us to be able to say, from all
we can learn, that the yield will be
something better, it is now thought,
than was short time ago anticipated.
The oat crop, however, is regarded as
very nearly a perfect failure Corn is
looking tolerably well, and the tobacco
plants that escaped the ravages of the
cut worm, look promising Rain is
sadly needed, however"

A GREAT " OKK-The Msdre Tun
mel Company of Colorado, has been
organized for the purpose of tunneling
through the Rocky, Mountains. Eng
fish capitalists have come toward and
subscribed all the stock-sixty million
dollars-and the work has already been
commenced. By means of this tunnel,
the company expect to reach all of the
one hundred and fifty fssure- veins of
silver ore known to exist in the noun
talns, and, if their calculations do not
nlscarry, the earning will msny times
replace the amount invested. The
tunnel will be twelve miles long-nearly
twice the length of the Monnt Gents
tunnel, between France and Italy,
under the Alps, which is seven miles
long, and the longest tunnel in the
world.
A fiume has been built, 1900 feet
long to the nearest water course By
this fall Of twenty-five feet fall has
been obtained for stream of water,
which is made to turn an oyer-shot-
wheel to force air into the tunnel. Il is
calculated that the great work of
tunnelling will be done in four q five
years It Is estimated that the cest of
the work will not eAceed twenty million
dof~rs.
