Railroad.

In addition to the telegram which we
published the other day, more reliable
news has come to hand-a letter from
Col. CRAWFORD to Mr.. F, p. F. Tenn
PIE dated Washington City, April 9th,
giving the most satisfactory informa-
tion in regard to railroad matters. The
letter states that the company are de-
termined to push the road through to
completion with all possible haste, and
intimates that they may notstop short
of connection with some Eastern
line. Col. CRAWFORD mentions the
fact of having purchased the S200,0 900
worth of iron as reported in the tele-
gram, and is now busy purchasing
rolling stock for the road. 1t seems
that j. p. JONES and other members
of the company have heard something
of the silly stories circulated by the
opponents of the road to the effect that
the company were only preparing to
sell out. They were quite indignant
at the idea and authorized its contra
diction in the most popular terms, and
assure the people of Los Angeles that
the road will be completed from the
wharf to this city by the end of July,
and that the investment of every sub
scriber to stock in the company shall
be respected. Of course the people are
all glad to receive this news direct
from headquarters, and many will have
their faith strengthened by it, but
those who know J. P. JONES in innate
ly were just as well satisfied before.
He always means what he says, and
he said this road should be built as
quick as money and men could build
it. He has reasons outside of Pana-
mint for building the road 1t. is a
permanent, paying Investment; it will
open large mineral territory for other
Investment, which will make many of
his friends wealthy while it increases
his own wealth. 1t will benefit every
man in the valley and build up the
country generally.

vick's Floral Guide.

We are in receipt of VICK's Floral
Guide, No. 8, 1875, Rochester, New
York. 1t is work of great merit and
ought to be in the hands Of every
florist and horticulturist in the coun-
try. Mr.. JAMES WICK is the floral
prince OF the East. A scientist by
nature and practice, he studies the
quality and habits of every plant that
nothing in the fi6fai fffts ppselsa.lo''' ss.s anu
to have escaped him. He visited
California in 1874. This number con-
tains an account of his journey to this
coast, his visit to the Big Trees and
Yosemite Valley. The next number
will contain an account Of othel trav-
els in this State, with an, accurate
description and drawings of many
California plants. He advises per-
sons who wish to emigrate to Califor-
mia, first to visit the State. This is
good advice. The climate, customs
and general appearance of the coun-
try here is so different to anything in
the East that no one can form an idea
whether it would suit them, until
they see it. He speaks of one serious
objection to California which is rapid
ly passing away-the large bodies of
land owned by one or two men. He
says: "We would much rather have
seen these large ranches divided up
into one or two hundred acre farms,
with. pleasant dwellings and school
houses and churches, here and there
village, with Postotfice, etc." Just
this state of things have taken place
since he was here. ~~@ 80

The papaI MuddIc rncreaSiug.

NEW YORK, April l2th.-A special
dispatch to the Herald by cable from
Paris says that war is again threat
ened involving Russia, Italy, Ger
many and France. Bismarck is the
promoter of this war, and the Papacy
is the pretext. Many signs indicate
that the llustrious Chancellor's intel
lect, long the wonder and admiration
of the world, has become enfeebled,
and in his righteousness, he is even
seeking battle with the gigantic shad-
ows of sick brain. The aggressive
attitude of Prussia was doubtless real,
and was the cause of the conference at
Venice. There is also a strong belief
that Russia, alarmed for the safety of
her Baltic provinces, will look with
favor upon the project of new quad
ruple alliance, including France,
against Prussia.

The Future.

Judging the future by the past, Los
Angeles will continue to be prosper
GUS. We trust our rosy anticipations
will be realized, but it is, well to take
a business view rather thana specula-
tive one. A business view is the only
safe one, and we must look ahead so
as to avoid the breakers that have ru-
ined SO many promising cities. Low
taxes are an attraction to all new
comers, and taxes can only be kept
low by avoiding all official extrav-
agance and the prompt payment of
debts already contracted. Honesty
and economy must be the motto in
city and county business, and these.
with our unrivalled position and
natural resources will make the future
certain.

south America.

NEW YORK, April 13th.- Advices
from South America by the steamer
to. day from Aspinwall, state that the
Jesuit College i'm Buenos Ayres had
been completely burned, and that
some of the ring-leaders Of tile riot
had not been arrested.
Three priests are known to have
died. The Archbishop had returned
to the city and the newspapers unani-
mously recommended him to resign.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a
circular addressed to the legations
abroad, says the mob was headed by a
Spanish priest. The number killed
was not large, not exceeding four, no
priest being among them. There are,
however, some priests wounded.

SIOUX Cry, Iowa, April 15th.-In-
formation at the Black Hills transpor-
tation office here shows that since the
7th of April over three hundred men
and forty wagons and thirteen pack
animals have departed and are now on
their way to the hills. Small parties
arrive daily and push forward to join
the main body. Several other parties
have gone from Yankton and Spring
field. Others are preparing to follow
but it is not known in what number.
1t is estimated that at least 500 men
are now on the way from different
localities in this vicinity. Two ladies

home is peculiarly . the sphere of
woman, and the sphere of civil gov

the home as the joint sphere of man
and woman and the sphere of civil
government more of an open question
between the two. 1t is, however, to be
lamented that the present agitation
concerning the rights of woman is so
much matter of rights rather than
of duties as the reform of the latter
would involve the former"

Superintendent of Zion's Cooperative
Mercantile Institution by Brigham
Young on Saturday last, to-day de-
manded that the books, papers and

(Clawson) was not legally elected.
Brigham Young then ordered that
Clawson be put in immediate possess
ion, Jennings firmly refusing for the
reason stated, and saying that Brig

the premises. There is considerable

A Young man named Iin%ling resides

which was signed by Mr.. Speedy, and
which was written from Ljyermurc.
This contained the Intelligence that Mr..
Yingling had met with a fatal accident
while ON a railroad train, and that the

made. The supposed victim had been %

mutual, aS he had no recollection Of
having written any letter Of the kind.
1t was concluded to hold another inter-
view with the corpse. After some eva

why he brought the whole delegation of
Knights down to that place, fully dressed
out in their regalia, he was constrained
to confess that he wouldn't have done
any thing Of the kind only that he de
sired to see if his Girl would come on

A Boys Head Shot OF.

Wallace MesSeroe, aged nine, living
with his parents at Haledon Pond, about
four miles from Paterson, y. j., was
shot and instantly killed by his brother
Cleland on Wednesday evening. The
bows had been working on the grounds
surrounding their residence, and had
gone up stairs to their room 10 change
their clothing In a closet in the room
were two shot-gUns, on seeing which
the boys said, Lets play soldiers >
The younger took out double-barrel
gun which he laid across the bed. The
elder boy raised his weapon, single
barrel gun, not thinking it was loaded,
and it went of, the muzzle being only
three feet from the other lad. The
younrer bows head was shot complete
II off. only few strips Of scalp remain
inc attached 10 the spine. The head
was shattered into minute fragments,
scattering the walls and ceiling OF the
room. The boys had frequently played
with the guns, rs the charges were al
ways drawn before the weapons were
brought into the house. Mr.. Messeroe
settled at Haledon about nine years ago,
and comes on business to New York.
His wife and daughter give much of
their time to the district school, of
which Mr.. Messeroe is trustee, and the
boys were allowed to roam about thl
place and were constantly together.
I Coroner AmirauX, of Paterson, visited
the house shortly after the accident.
and after a full investigation decided
I that no inquest was necesSary.-Ncu
