That Hobby Again.

Last Saturday evenings San Fran
cisco Post contains a three-column
communication from Los Angeles
correspondent, the greater part of
which is devoted to the Panamint
mines and the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad. For the most part
the writer expresses very sensible
views, but the tenor and purport of a
part of the article seems to be intend
ed to convey the impression that Los
Angeles is not to be the terminus
proper of the road above named. AT
ter few slaps at Wilmington harbor
and the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, the writer asserts that Los
Angeles is misnomer for the West
ern end of the road Senator JONES is
now building. To be exact, We quote
his own language:
But even "Los Angeles is misnomer, for
the Western terminus will not be at any in
land city, even though that city be the COM
mercal metropolis of the Southern portion of
California, but at the deep water OF the Pacific
Ocean. Ii the road commenced at Los Ange-
les, the Central-Southern Pacific monopoly
would, in their ~ mile line 10 Wilmington
slough, hold the key of the positioni but
Santa Monica, with its great wharf facilities,
reaching out into thirty feet water on the
bolder, but better sheltered shores Of bay,
heretofore unappreciated. is the actual ter
minus, and 70 must so appear in the compa-
ny's corporate name when the time is ripe tor
placing the company fairly before the public
as a competitor FOR overland trafflc.
This seems to be in accord with the
Posts hobby Of building up city at
Santa Monica which shall ultimately
destroy Los Angeles. 1t is probably
one of the vagaries of journal that
is addicted to hallucinations, but
whether so intended or not, it to a
certain extent affects the prosperity of
this city, and would, did the people
believe it the expression of Senator
JONES' purpose, render unpopular in
this community the railroad enter
prise he is now pushing forward and
into which the people of this city have
entered so earnestly. But although
the Post is the reputed organ Of Sena-
tor JONES, this community is not dis
posed to accept it as his mouthpiece
with reference to the great city which
is to be built at Santa Monica. He cam
not desire to injure the interests of
city that has so emphatically signified
its willingness to cooperate with him
in carrying out the work which all
were led to believe was designed to
benefit not only this city but this
valley and all Southern California.
We are confident that one of the first
acts of Senator JONES after his arrival
in San Francisco will be to disclaim
any thought or intention Of carrying
out the programme which his paper
has gratuitously marked out for him,
and thus assure Los Angeles that his
purpose is to enhance, not depreciate,
her property.

THE Independent Kansan of May
2lst congratulates itself that the tide
of immigration which has been pour
ing into California has reached its
fullest ebb and must soon cease alto
gether. 1t assures it's readers that the
bright promises of that "broad and
discontented landn are not being full
filled. The Kansan is evidently not
an admirer of California, and in order
to show its dislike of our State departs
from the truth to say that frost and
drouth have made things look gloomy
all over in the golden State. We are
so CHEEKY, happy and prosperous here
that we don't mind these little misrep-
reservations. We know the reasons
on which they are made, and we sim
cerely hope that the. old camping
ground of JOHN BROWN will not be
entirely depopulated. 1t is not SUBJ
ject for rejoicing, but reports seem to
warrant that the promises of that
"broad and discontented land" Kan
sas, are about to be fulfilled and every
thing eaten up by the grasshoppers, as
usual

Destructive Fire i'm Truckee.

TRUcKEE, May 29th.-This morning
about O'Clock a fire broke out in a
Chinese restaurant. 1t spread ropidly
and could not be controlled until entire
Chinatown was consumed, also four
houses on Front street, occupied re-
spectively by S. Long as a saloon,

Cruthers as furniture store. The

ing was destroyed. Outside of Chi
nese the property destroyed was most

OVER in New Hampshire there ex-

OVER in New Hampshire there ex-
lists an unpleasantness of considerable
magnitude between the Democrats
and Republicans on account of the
result of the recent election. The Re-
publicans thought they had "a majority
of the Senate, but in compliance with
the law the Governor and Council cam
vassed the returns, and found that so
many Illegal votes had been cast for
Republican candidates that deducting
them left the Democrats in the major
ity. At this the defeated party became
greatly incensed, and the officers who
performed only their sworn duty were
soundly berated. The case goes to the
Supreme Court for adjudication, but
as the Governor and Council acted
under the plain letter of the law, the
opinion of all unprejudiced minds is
that their action will be sustained. 1t
is claimed that if the illegal votes had
ousted Democrats the certificates
would have been given to those who
had received a majority of the legal
votes cast and there the matter would
have ended. But as it is, the disap-
pointed aspirants are resolved to push
the contest to the highest tribunal.

RistOri Robbed of Her Jewels:

OMAHA, May sth.--Madame Ris-
tori, the celebrated actress, who is on
her way to California, arrived in this
city last evening. Upon her arrival
she received telegram from the Chief
of Police at st. Louis stating that q
number of diamonds belonging to her
had been recovered. This telegram
wis the first intimation Ristori had
of her loss, and found, upon examin-
ing her trunks, that she had been
robbed. 1t is supposed they were ab-
stracted from her trunks after they
left the hotel at st. Louis, and were
offered for sale by suspicious charac-
ters and recognized as the property of
of Ristori.

One of the finest improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others. such as cottOns, table,
linen, ETC., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. a16

ulant heated-brain that suspends and
never resumes payment. Such brains
run at fever heat for long time with
out rest or relaxation. Their light is
steady and brilliant, but when they
can no longer stand the strain-when
they have reached the point at which
the natural brain stops to rest-they
waver, struggle, and then sink into the
gloom of nothingness which we call
softening of the brain.

Armies of GrasshOppers Marching
Through Missouri.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, May 27th.-For
the past three days grasshoppers in
this immediate vicinity have been
marching in Southwesterly direc-
tion. Whenever they strike field or
a garden, they leave scarcely vestige
of vegetation. Whole fields of grain
are devastated in few hours and the
sections which they visit are laid
waste. However, their ravages are
not universal. They seem to collect
in armies and all march in one direc-
tion, turning aside for nothing. Thus
some sections are devastated while
others are free from the scourge. In
many places plans are being devised
for their destruction and bushels are
being destroyed daily. The most sue
cessful plan is digging trenches in
front of them, with pit-holes every 80
or 40 feet, and sweeping the choppers
into them. Had this course been pur-
sued from the time they first COM
menced marching, there would have
been very little damage done; as it is,
we fear most of the small grain will
be destroyed, although the farmers
will be able to replant crop of corn
and late potatoes.
