vs.. WAR.

An important motion was made and
carried by the casting vote Of the
Speaker In the British House OF Com
mons, Tuesday evening last. Henry
Richards. member for Merthyr Tydvil
aud Secretary Of the London Peace Sc
ciety, moved that In the opinion Of the
House, Her Majesty's Government
should communicate with foreign
powers for the purpose Of improving
international law with a view Of estab'
fishing arbitration N a permanent re-
sort for the settlement Of differences
between nations. Richards, in support
Of his motion, stated that he had re-
ceived a large number Of letters from
America expressing sympathy with
his proposition. He proceeded to show
that the danger Of var kept 1000, 900
men armed annually In Europe, rem
dering necessary a taxation Of $4,000
600, 900 and the payment Of a yearly
Interest on war debts OF $I,3OO,OoO,
and In addition to this the value Of the
labor withdrawn from industry was
estimated to be 81, 250, 900, 900. In Ger
many the CONSUMPTION forced en- emf
grafton which wa depopulating the
country, and Russia. France and Italy
were financially crippled BY the ex-
pense Of their enormous establish
ments. Gladstone opposed the motion
and asked the gentleman to withdraw
it, arguing that ir would defeat its OBJ
ject. because the continental nations
held widely different views on the sub
ject. Richards declined to withdraw
aud the House divided. Tho division
resulted In a tie Of % to 9S, and the
Speaker gave the casting vote in favor
Of the motion, which was adopted.

day morning, from u old friend,
Henry Quarles, Esq. last Summer q
contributor Of the Gold Hill News and
Virginia Chronicle, and now editor of
the Oakland Transcript and Alameda
Gazette. Bro. Quarles says: "You
must, however, have recognized in the
Transcript editorials, the writer who,
last Summer, in n series Of articles in
the Gold Hill NEWS. convulsed Gold
Hill and electrified Virginia City"
We had noticed a new hand at the
helm Of that paper, but to our shame
be it acknowledged, did not recognize
In the writer our venerable associate.
We wish you all success, Henry, and
prosperity for the journals through

Railroad snash.up on the c. P. R. r.

From tho Truckee Republican. July lo.l
A serious smash.up took place on the
railroad yesterday morning. which dc.
molished a locomotive and came very
near killing two men. The accident
occurred about 8 o'clock In the MORN
Inc. about one-halr mile west of Bron-
co. to the "swing.train," In charge of
CIV, Clinch, Conductor. The train
consisted only OF tho locomotive, ten
der aud caboose on the down grade 70
Reno. A rock OF about 100 pounds
weight had rolled down the emoanK'
ment and lodged OH tile track. The en-
gineer. Gilbert Lemery, and the fire.
man, N. w. Seymour. saw the obstruc,
tion when the engine was about 200
feet distant from 1t, but could not
bring the train to a halt. They were
running at a speed Of about II miles an
hour. knowing that q collision was
inevitable. Lemery jumped OFT on the
upper side of the track and escaped
| with a lew tritling bruises. Seymour
did not have an opportunity to jump.
but as the locomotive ran oil the track
and turned over bottom side up, down
a l2-foot embankment, he was dumped
out upon the ground, sustaining but
slight injuries. Seymour's escape from
Instant death was a matter OF astonish-
ment and congra,ulatlon. The tender
aud caboose did not leave the track.
Conductor Cllnch saw the locomotive
roll over down the embankment anu
axnactel m And both the engineer and
fireman crushed beneath 1t. but was
~agresably surprised as he ran to the
spot to hear each of them sing out that
they were oil right. The rock, IL Is
said, could not have been on the track
but a few minutes at the time the loco
motive struck It. Had the train been
a long and heavy II the smasli'np
would have been much more serious,
and probably have involved the loss oil
life. The track was repaired In n very
short time and no delay Of trains wa:
caused by tho accide.:t.

are impregnatcd with dust from the males,
which is consequently done artifcially.
The male palms are often tied up and
blanched to. DO cut for the Palm-Sunday
festivals, and they are also sold to be
stuck up in balconies as o protection
against tightening, being considered quite
as elicacous and being certainly cheaper
than any iron conductor. 100000 worth
are sold annually in Elcho for this pur-
pose, and 100000 worth Of dates. The
latter were being gathered during, our
visit January by the "horleanos" who
climb the brancbless trunks, like cats, 8
rope being passed round it and their
waists, upon which they rest their whole
weight in horizontal position, lowering
their baskets when filled and raising them
again by pulley. The defective palm
leaves are sent to the manufactures and
used as cigarettes. By the road side, DO.
fore every cottage door, are quantities Of
dates in baskets, no one watching them (;

man ever did the like.
Mr., Dickey--1hen you fooled your eli.

Mr., Plat asked Stevenson to state what
he paid for his board and rooms, and
whether it was not more than his pay.

We live in the same house.
Mr.. Stevenson--lf 1 spend more than

Mr.. Chapman, Of the District Of Column
bin, spoke in defence Of the fair women
and pious, moral men Of Washington,
all classed by the epithet of Stevenson Of
dissolute, and he declared that Washing
ton compared favorably in its religious
institutions and its moral worth with any
other city in the country. The birds Of

who tlccked to Washington, came and
went with Congre S. [Laughter.l
Mr.. Stevenson expressed regret at hay

withdrew it, but while the term might not

Col. Mosby as an Accidental Witness,

An interesting incident occurred In the
rooms Of the southern claims commission,
In Washington, few days ago. MIR. Jas.
5. Gardnar, OF Lon on county, virginia,
was making q statement respecting his
claims for $1,000, for property taken from
his farm by Union soldiers, when Col.
j. 5. Mosby entered. Mr.. Gardener told Few
he escaped from the rebels under Mosby,
and how he sayel his property, to be kept
only; however, until the Union soldier rs
came along and gobbled it up. Mosby,
who was unknown TO the witness, took a
seat about ten feet from him, and listened
attentiyely. Finally Gardener related tho
trouble that Mosby and other rebels gave
him by endsay oring 10 chase him out Of
the country because he was Union man,
and ended by saying
"They did not succeed, however, re.
NAMED there all tho time
One OF the commissioners asked Gar
dener "Did you ever see that Mosby2"
To which Gardener replied, mo sir, but
he was hard after me many times
.. MOsby then turned quietly to Mr.. Ben
jamin, the chief clerk Of the commission,
and asked, "Who is this witness, what's
his name2" He was informed, to which
Mosby replied, ooh, yes, know him to be
loyal man. TOO; there was a good many
after him. The counsel for Gardener
heard this, and turning round asked Of
Mr.. Benjamin, "Whois this man ?" He
was informed that it was Col. Mosby and
he Immediately asked him if he would give
in evidence of Mr.. Gardeners loyalty.
Mosby, then. to the surprise of Gardener,
took the stand, and testified that he him ,
self had never seen him (Gardener) dur
ing the war, though he had often tried to
catch him as one of the few Union men of
London.

A WOODEN RA1LRoAp.-Tha xoode

A WOODEN RAILRoAD.-The wooden
railroads in the vicinity of Quebec are at
tracting considerable attention. 1t ap-
peNrs that there are now 100 miles in op-
GRAFTON The guage is A feet 81 inches.
The running time is about l6 miles per
hour, but trains have been run at the. f9te
Of IS miles per hour. The rails are nfAe
Of maple, 4x7 inches, set up edgewise nd
notched into the cross-ties inches .sle9p,
and held by two wedges down in thx notch
on the outside rail- The ties are 8-ipches
thick, and laid 20 inches apart. The cars
have four wheels, and some Of th Q engines
weigh thirty tons. In frosty weather the
driving wheels has less adhesion than on
metal rails; but no considerable difficulty
Is experienced from this cause. The rails
will last from two to four years, according
to the quality Of the timber and the
amount Of traffic. The cost of such roads
is from $4,000 to $1,000 per mile. They
seem to be very well adapted for light
traffic, and, as soon as the business Of snch
lines may require it, metal rails may be
substituted for wood without any change
in the equipment.

What Might have Been.

Had poor Mr.. Greeley been elected and
lived, the thronging Of the people in the
keen winter air would have been as great,
their eager enthusiasm altogether more
irresponsible. Had his skilful pen draft
ed the inaugural address, and the lips now
silent under the snow Of Greenwood pro-
nounced it, admiring mnlttudes would
have hung upon every sentence, and
praise been extorted from unwilling
tongues The wond yful outpouring Of
mourners who so thickly lined many miles
Of our streets in the bland December air
on the occasion Of his funeral, may give
some faint idea of what would have taken
place in Washington had he, instead Of
his successful rival, been the recipient Of
yesterdays bonors. We trust readers will
pardon this allusion !:
"Aiy heart
Is in the coffin there,
And must wait till it come bask to
me-" es
Had it been Mr.. Greeley, instead Of Gen.
Grant, who was inaugurated yesterday,
with what simple warmth and honest
sincerity, instead Of the formal, grudg-
ing GOODNESS Of yesterdays address, he
would have invited back the chivalrous
loyalty of the Southern people !. And how
cordial would have been the response to
ON appeal that would have touched the
deepest chords Of generous Southern feel.

pen" sang Mr.. Greeley's fayorite poet,

Discovering an Assassin.

Discipline in the italian navy seems
rather imperative. The other day, on
the war corvette, Vittor Pisani, at
Naples, one of the common sailors was
murdered in q horrible manner. As
soon as the crime was discovered, the
captain ordered every man in the ships
service, except the guards, on deck.
They came, officers and sailors, and
were ranged in ranks. Each one was
asked by the captain if he knew any
thing of the murder. Every one pro-
tested that he knew nothing whatever
about it.
"The assassin is among you," cried
the captain "I'll give him a short time
to disclose himself and his accomplices,
if he has any,"
Still no one responded. The sum-
mons was once more given, and no an
swer being returned, the captain or
dered file of marines to take their
place rs platoon of execution. Then
addressing his men, he said
"Justice must be satisfied. 1 shall
decimate the ships company !"
Lots were drawn, and out of the first
ten one man found himself selected to
be shot. The platoon loaded, the mans
eyes bandaged, when suddenly Sar-
dinian sailor rushed out of the ranks of
the ships company, and announced
that he was the murderer. He replaced
the man who had drawn the fatal ticket,
and was instantly shot.
