THE snow-sheds on the Central Pa
cific are constantly catching fire, and
every fire costs the company from one
thousand to twenty thousand dollars.
There are about thirty miles of these
sheds in the Sierras. Without their
protection it would be impossible to
operate the road in Winter, and to
maintain them involves a constant
outlay of money. They are built of
heavy cedar timber, which, as it be-
comes dry, is still more liable to de-
struction by fire, which is always kim
died by sparks from passing locomo-
tives. A road that cannot be operated
without snow-sheds is an expensive
piece of property. The Southern Pa
cfic will have great advantage over
t. Central Pacific in this respect. 1t
will need no snow-sheds.

SENATOR SARGENT, the railroad pet
tifogger and great high chief of the
California whisky ring, has no infiu-
ence in the Senate. Whatever power
he possessed at the beginning of the
session has departed, and he now talks
and intrigues to no purpose. When
he makes a motion or offers an amend
ment every honest Senator regards it
as his duty to vote it down. A meas
ure must be well supported if SAR-
CENTS Endorsement does not kill it at
once. If he wants a, bill passed, he
either remains silent or intimates his
disapprobation of it, and thus secures
it supporters that his advocacy would
drive to the other side. Poor AARON,
like EsAU, sold his birthright for a
mess of pottage; but unlike EsAU, he
never secured the pottage.

THE political pot in Nevada is boil
ing furiously. Uncle BILLY SHARON
is fixing things so that he will be al
most certain to secure STEWARDS seat
in the Senate. Governor BRADLEY is
a candidate for reelection, with about
an even chance to get beaten. H. e.
STREET of Elko is the most prominent
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. The Independent move
ment in this State is very weak. The
contest will be close between the DEM
ocrats and the Republicans, with the
chance of success on the side of the
Republicans. SHARON is said to be
buying up the free American voters
like so many sheep. Great country,
that Nevada; votes are sometimes
worth five dollars apiece.

BEN. BUTLER says it will some time
be written of him that he was man
whose virtues overbalanced his faults;
that he loved his country and his
kind, justice and noblcness. This is

BILE, when no mention Of me more
must be heard of-say I taught thee;

sure and safe one, though thy master
missed it. Mark but my fall, and that

THERE are now over fifty acres of
tobacco plants growing near the race
track. 1t is all thrifty and coming
forward finely. The leaves on some of
the earliest set out plants are already
about eighteen inches long, and give
promise ola superior article of tobacco.
DR.. HOWARD, of the Los Angeles To-
bacco Company, is confident the to-
bacco grown in this valley will prove
superior to that produced by the Gill
roy Company, and equal to any grown
in the United States. The success at
tending the experiment made here
has attracted the attention of a num-
Der of persons who have. had some
practice in the business, and next sea-
son several hundred acres of tobacco
will be cultivated in this valley.

THE Pacific Mail Steamship Com

line of steamers up and down the

This will greatly facilitate the trade of

not only tend to the increase of COM

founding of number of new settle
