the greater portion of the day. 1t is
reported here that the steamer Ruby,
in attempting to cross from Seattle to
Port Madison, went down with all on

WASHINGTON, March 25th.-Rumors
are circulated that Secretary Bristow
intends to resign, but his most inti-
mate friends deny the report. Ex-
Senator Chandler has been mentioned
as his successor. The prospect of
Treasurer Spinner's retirement is not
immediate.
A letter from Commodore Hull, in
charge of the Isthmus of Darien Canal,
says the survey gives favorable re-
port of the prospects. He thinks that
the vicinity of the railroads offers the
best facilities for the location of a
canal.

The Vallejo Independent says: "a
very large immigration to California
is expected this year, some estimates
running as high as one hundred thous-
and. There is an abundance of room
for all who come, if they are workers.
There are too many idlers here now,
and in order to find employment for
more persons who rely upon labor for
a support, something more must be
done to develop the resources of the
State. We want immigrants who
have means enough to help to do

The Right Spirit.
TFrom the Independent, March 9Otb.

From the Independent, March GOTH
Los Angeles county generally is just begin.
ming to realize the great importance of the
Los Angeles and Independence Railroad and
is taking hold with a spirit which means
business. At last accounts the required $780,
600 was very nearly all taken, and actual work
on the road was being prosecuted with vgor.
This sum together with an equal amount from
Jones and Park, insures the completion of the
road to Panamint without the least doubt. AS
yet, lnyo stands credited with but $4,000 of
stock taken, and this doubtless is all by Bel
shaw and 8eaudry. We have scarce a doubt
but If some active canvaSSer would take the
matter in hanu 1t would be but a short time
till an amount sufficient to guarantee the road
to this place would be secured. II can be de-
monstrated by actual facts and figures, max
ing reasonable allowances for future contin-
gent developments, that this road will be one
of the best, and probably the very best paying
railroad property in the United States. There
is no CANNON about this. Its stock is as GER
tain to command a high market value, per-
haps premium, as any promise of the pres
ent ever can make certainty for the future.
The only fear that any one ever felt on this
point was that ii would fall into the hands of
spectators, as such enterprises often do; but
now that Los Angeles owns and controls, and
must for her own salvation continue to own
and control, an equal share or q majority of
the stock. we have reliable assurance that
the road and its stock must be managed for
the legitimate profits and business and no
other
And now, If Darwin, Cerro Gordo and this
section generaly, wish TO share in the direct
advantages of "a railroad they must put their
wishes in a coin shape. They must subscribe
for this stock. IL won't require any more of
any person than he can easily spare for the
short time required before his property, what
ever its kind, must enhance in value perhaps
to double or quadruple the amount. This is
particularly as regards mining property.
If nothing of the kind is done, we assert, as
we often have heretofore, that the chances are
ten to one the proposed road will come no
nearer us than the mouth of the Panamint
Canyon 1t will 20 thence straight on to its
ultimate connection with the Utah roads, and
as part OF a great through line. This is a
matter worthy the earnest and immediate at
tention of all and every mine owner i'll this
portion of the county.

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1875-01-28

SLIGHTLY MISTAKEN time
since a party of ladies and gentlemen
went on tour of inspection through
Durham Castle. The ''ions" were
shown to them by an elderly lady of a
sour, solemn and dignifed aspect. In
the course of their peregrinations they
came to the celebrated tapestry for
which the castle is so famed.
s'These," said the guide, in true show
man style, favored with a dash Of piety
to suit the subject, and pointing to sew
eral groups of figures upon the tapestry
-stthese represent scenes in the life of
jacob
ooh, yes-how pretty!' said young
lady; and with laugh, pointing to two
figures in somewhat close proximity,
she continued, 81 suppose that is Jacob
kissing Rachel9'
s.No, madam responded the indignant
guide, with crushing dignity, that is
Jacob wrestling with the angel"
The men haw-hawed, the young lady
subsidized, and offered no further exposi-
tory remarks, but groaned under
sense of unworthiness during the rest of
the visit.

CLEoPATRA's Needle is a solid, taper
ing obelisk of red granite, cut from top
to bottom with deep, sharply defined,
symbolic characters, which nobody IN
derstands, and which lie five feet below
the level of the ground. Its mate was
discovered about thirty years ago. Both
were brought over one hundred miles,
from the ancient city of On, the great
university of ancient Egypt, where
Moses was educated. How such masses
were transported such a distance-au
the way desert of sand-cannot be ex-
planned; yet Pharaonic engineers accom-
plished the feat without marring the
blocks. The horizontal one was pre-
sented by Mahommed Ali to the English
Government. After some months of
effort British artisans failed to raise it
from it's present bed, SO vessel detailed
for carrying the curiosity to London
returned without a cargo. Thus was
the skill of modern times Swallowed by
the ancients.

RUSSIAN LADIES. characteristics
of the Russian type of feminine beauty
are an extreme fairness of complexion,
grayish eyes, blonde ar chestnut hair,
and certain enabonpofnt, arising from
the lack of exercise and the life indoors,
which is compelled by winter lasting
seven Or eight months. They suggest
the idea of odalisques, whom the Genius
of the North keeps confined in the trop-
ical atmosphere of a dollhouse. They
have compilations of cold cream and
snow, with tints of the heart of a came
lia-like those over yelled women of the
Seraglio, whose skin the sunlight has
not touched By this extreme fairness
their delicate features are rendered even
more delicate, and the softened outlines
form the face of hyberborean sweetness
and Polar grace.
The Russian women, in society, seems
to make less display than the men, as the
uniforms and courts costumes of the lat
ter glitter with gold lace and embroidery,
and with jewelled decorations. Yet the
simple robes Of the ladies are composed
of the costliest fabrics, fastened with
the rarest gems and their dazzling
skins, and flashing diamonds, and CLEAN
ing pearls, and flowing draperies, match
in effect the heavier splendor of the
masculine attire. Their simplicity
pays homage to the Empress, who pre-
fers elegance to ostentation; but you
may be sure Mammon loses nothing by
it. Like their sex everyWhere-they
know how to make gauze more costly
than gold
