TIE NAVAL AUTHORIZATION ELL, "a re-

mates for the support of the naval observatory
very Largely. The amount for general expenses
is reduced $500 and for clerical work Il 800
The sum OF 5000 asked for computations in
AID Of Prof. NewcCmD's Investigations of the
moon is refused entirely. Only 5000 is a.
lowed for the computations OF the observation
OF the transit OF Venus. Friends of the O5ssr-

after year. Other qualities Of timber
may be grown as easily and almost as
rapidly as the willow. But our great
and ultimately our chief stock of fuel
is as yet comparatively untouched.
We mean the brea, of which there are
several inexhaustible mines inthe val
ley. The gas works in this city are
using considerable amount of brea,
and few farmers are running engines
with it. Generally speaking, how
ever, the article is not used. In time
all of our steam machinery will be run
with bres, and we predict that it will
supercede coal wherever any consider
able amount of heat is required. In
point of fact, the valley is better sup
piled with fuel than it would be were
there no brea2 deposits and the noun
tain sides covered with timber For
culinary and other domestic purposes
the supply of wood is ample, and will
always equal the demand

Wilmington harbor.

A great deal has been said about
Wilmington harbor-a great deal in
which ignorance, jealousy and disre-
gard OF facts were more conspicuous
than knowledge of the question dis
cussed. A good many people have
decided most emphatically that har-
Dor could not be made at Wilmington.
1t is true that these sapient gentlemen
do not know much about harbors nor
a great deal about anything else, but
they spend their opinions as freely as
if they We're based on thousand years
ofexperienee and million wears of
scientific study. The facts of the case
are very different from the complexion
put upon it by these enemies of Will
mington. Every days labor adds ev-
idence to the mass already accumu-
lated that an excellent harbor will
soon be completed at Wilmington.
The rapidly increasing business at the
port has caused the railroad company
to take steps toward increasing their
facilities for moving the freight which
passes over the wharf. The propriety
and expense of extending their track,
by means of wharf, from its present
terminus to deep water. The PROPOSE
ton was met by General BoscHKE,
who has Government contract for
excavating Wilmington Harbor, with
an offer to dig o channel fifteen feet
deep and of the requisite width from
deep water up to the company's wharf
for one-half the cost of building the
wharf. General BosCHKE further pro-
posed to keep this channel the contract
depth for one-half the expense of keep
ing the wharf in repair. This sort of
an offer from inexperienced engineer,
who Is now engaged in dredging in the
same quality of earth through which
the channel Is to be excavated, demon
strates that the work of dredging Will
mington Harbor is not difficult, and
that once the harbor is completed no
serious difficulty in the way of filling
up need be apprehended.

THE suicide mania has again broken
out in San Francisco. The disease is
claiming victims who have money,
and they do not leave notes stating
that it was all for love. The phe-
nomena isspuzzling the savans and
anatomy students. Why men with
money and not in love should kill
themselves is problem that will not
be solved by those sojourning on this
side of the river Jordan. Impecuni-
osity and unrequited affection are
ample reasons for an immediate .shuf-
ding off Of this mortal coil and when
man has either one of them bad, he
may be excused for putting a period
to his existence by putting pistol to
his head; but when men with full
purse and whole heart do those
things, there is something wrong in
San Francisco.

State Fair GambIinu.

a
The opinion expressed by the HER
AID some weeks ago to the effect that
too great a proportion of the money ap-
proprfated from the Treasury for the
purpose of aiding and assisting the
State Fair was used in making up
purses for horse-racing, is endorsed by
a number of otherinduential journals,
and it is more than probable that no
appropriation of this character will be
made from the peoples pockets by the
next Legislature. The argument that
the masses who contribute the funds
for slow and possibly often unfair
horse-races, derive very little knowl-
edge or amusement from the trials of
speed or the schemes for making the
horse lose on which the uninitiated
have staked their money, cannot be
controverted. Andthe other side ar
gument that a State Fair cannot be
made a success without speed pro-
gramme, is not proven to be true. 1t
is probable that the parties who make
the most noise and assume the control
and management of the State Fair are
more interested in the races than any
other considerable number who attend
the exhibition; but it is very proba-
ble that if this class did not attend at
all, the Fair would be equally success
full and more beneficial to the people
in general. We doubt very much if
the majority of the Taxpayers would,
if the opportunity offered, express q
willingness to be taxed in support of
a horse-race.

THE Chamber of Commerce last
evening referred the petition of w B.
CALDWELL for an appropriation of
$50 to aid in surveying route for
wagon road between this city and
Panamint, to the consideration of a
special committee. We presume the
appropriation will be made and Mr..
CALDWELL directed to proceed at once
with the survey. From information
already received, it seems almost GER
tain that the route is practicable. Mr..
CALDWELL has been over the country
between here and Panamint a great
many times and he is confident that
he can find shorter and better route
and one on which there will be no
long drives from water to water. He
is man of energy and experience
and if our citizens give him the slight
assistance asked, we predict that he
will locate direct road to Panamint
which will be worth many thousands
of dollars to Los Angeles. S----2'-e

Fuel.

We cannot endorse the opinion ex-
pressed by a correspondent in the
HERALD of last Sunday morning to
the effect that fuel will become an
item of considerable expense to the
people of Los Angeles valley. 1t is
true that we have no extensive forests
from which to draw, but it is also true
that timber may be grown easily and
rapidly in nearly every portion of the
valley. The willow hedges around
farms furnish large amount of wood
each year, and the stock increases year

Cumberland & Ohio Railroad.
This road is already under contract tc
Gallatin, Tenn, we believe, and work is
progressing at both ends. Atamcetinp
Of the directors at Louisville the other
day, the question of extending the road
to Florence, Ala, as originally intended
was discussed, and we find the follow
ing in the COHTter-JournaJ with refer
ence to this extension:
Formerly the idea has prevailed 70
extend the road south of Galiatin via
Lebanon, MuFfreesbOro, Lewisburg and
Pulaski to Florence, Ala, and to that
elect the county of Marshall, in Ten
nessee, has actually subscribed, BY a vote
OF the people, the sum Of $500, 600 to
the capital stock Of the Cumberland and
Ohio Railroad Company.
Al Lebanon, Tenn, or at some point
between Lebanon and Nashville, rail
connection could be secured with Nash
Ville by the Tennessee and Pacific Rail-
road upon this route
Assuming the completion OF this
road to Nashville by one or the other
route, Southern extension to Florence,
Ala, las the most suitable point on ac-
count of railway and bridge aceommO-
dations there), either by way Of Triune,
Lewisburg and Pulaski, through the
of Davidson, Williamson, Mar
shall and Giles, or else through the
counties of Hickman, Lewis, Wayne
and Lawrence, is suggested.
"The first route would pass about
half way between the Nashville and
railroad and the Nashville
and Decatur railroad lines, through the
center of the Limestone basin of Ten
nessee, very productive and thickly
settled part of the State, in which in adj
lition to the Marshal county subscrip-
ion, probably enough stock could be
TO grade the rUad 90 the Ala
)ama State line.
''The second route, following the
Nashville and Northwestern railroad
% the vicinity of Harpeth river, and
hence passing through Hickman and
he other above mentioned counties,
would pass through the heart of the
great iron region for distance of about
fifty miles.
cit is presumed that each county ira
yersed by this line would subscribe
more or less stock to grade the roadbed. |
