FoR want of better objection to
the Democratic candidate for State
Treasurer, the radical newspapers have
laid great stress upon statement they
circulated that Col PiOllet had been
sued bv his mother-in-law. Now that
the following correspondence very ef-
fectuallv disposes of that canard, our
radical friends will have to try some
thing else:

SAN FRANCISCO Feb. %.
The celebration of Washingtons
birthday was generally observed in the
city yesterday. Business vas sus-
pended &c a great extent. Ire mill
tary exercises at the Presidio were at
tended by a large to wit
ness the programme of field opera
tons carried out. The line formed at
1880 o'clock, when Governor Booth
and Major General Thompson, with
Stats, appeared. The inspection of
the brigade followed, and a review OF
troops on dress parade next; after
which the command broke ranks and
took lunch. After lunch the brigade
formed again; went through the W.
lutions, skirmishing, charging, etc.
The artillery and cavalry also exhib-
tied their proficiency. All We're credit
ably performed, except the lack of
training apparent on the part of the
cavalry horses. No accidents occurred;
good order was maintained through
out. In the evening Mechanics Pa
vilion vas crowded with people, en-
joying the literary and musical enter
tainment. Governor Booth, Major Gen.
Schofield, OF the United States Army,
Major Gen. Thompson, ofthe n. G. c.,
staff were present. instrumental mu-
sic was furnished by the bands of the
First Cavalry, Fourth Artillery and
Twelfth Infantry. Fannie Marston
and the Handel and Hayden Society
also sang patriotic airs. Governor
Booth introduced Col. w. II. l..
Barnes, the orator of the evening.
Owing to the great crowd and noise
the speaker could not make himself
heard. and abandoned the attempt.
Other musical performances followed.
Governor Booth made a few remarks,
when the exercises closed.

indicate a general observance of the

gress such action in the premises as
will authorize him to place Brooks in
the gubernatorial seat by force of arms.
And he further supplements this dec
laration by statements openly made,
and telegraphed uncontradicted from
one end of the country to the other,
that this course is necessary to the
welfare-not of the people of Arkan-

States, but-of the Republican party,

that is, to the success of the cause of
Grantism) i'm the Southern States; and
that if it be not adopted he Grant
will construe the silence of Congress
as authority for him, as Executive, to
recognize the claim of Brooks and to

FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT

CARSON, Feb. 81.
Legislation still lags its slow length
along, regardless of the fact that the
session is nearing it's close. In fact,
but little legislation is needed, and this
accounts for the small amount trans
acted. But eight legislative days re-
main. and all will be glad when they
have passed, especially your over
worked correspondent, who is so very
busy that he has not time to gobble up

A Remarkable Mans Career.

The remarkable career of George
Muller, Of Bristol, England, does not
appear to be interrupted by years, and
at the age of seventy he is as sanguine
and successful as when he began his
great work among the orphans more than
forty years ago. Recent accounts say
that he received last year gifts amount
ing TO $3.50, 900 for his various charities.
He has six institutions with convenient
and massive buildings, each complete in
itself. He has received in all $3,000,000
for the uses of his work. He is of me-
dunn size, slightly built, erect as sol
dier, hair white and cut close to his
head, unpretending in manner, and with
a great deal of magnetism in his pres
ence. He has refused TO have his por-
trait taken, and maintains singular
simplicity in all his ways. His peculiar
principle is his trust in the practical
power Of prayer; and whenever he wants
money for his orphans he prays, and in
a familiar manner, as If conversing with
friend, he asks God for the needed
gift, and he says it ia sure to come. He
has in some rerpects affinity with the
Plymouth Brethren, but he -disclaims
all denominational names, and wishes to
stand upon his simple loyalty to Christ.

Wind VS.. steam.

There are 10000 windmills in opera
tion in Holland. each doing six or ten
horse power service through the twenty
four hours. These mills perform all the
service required of steam engines at
at one-twen;ieth the COST Exchange.
1t is such facts as the above that go
far toward explaining the relatively
high cost of living in the United States.
We go by steam in everything; and this
is the most expensive motive power in
use. All over the land are the rusting
wrecks of steam engines which have
cost millions upon millions, now idle
and worthless because idle. Their con-
struction is at great cost; to operate them
is expensive in the last degree; they wear
out rapidly, and must be often replaced;
they blow up frequently, at great cost of
life and capital. There is no country
on the globe that employs such rela-
lively expensive motive power as the
United States. and this is one prime
cost of the dearnesss of every manufac-
tured article IN use. In the west espec-
tally, where winds are The rule and
calms the exception, millions might an
nually be saved in the use OF wInd-pow-
er instead of steam. In times like these
it behooves the people to study eeono-
my; to get down to its essentials, the
very fundamentals. in order to arrive at
methods by which to cheaper ihe cost
of living. There is too much steam in
everything we do. The minds of men
get into ruts, and the notion prevails
that there is no other profitable or relia-
BILE motive power. This is not so. Full
one-half of our steam mills could be
operated by wind power. at one-twen-
tieth the cost of steam. 1t is high time
the people began to think about this
matter.-[ Dubuque Times.

A great specializing firm, in San Fran
.cisco-known as the Bank of California
collapsed last week, leaving liabilities
above available assets of millions Of
dollars. The bust up has brought fnan-
cial ruin upon many poor devil who
had deposited his savings in the corrupt
concern, and has caused general alarm
on the Pacifc coast, and more comment
throughout the country, than any SINH
lar event that has occurred for years.
The Bank was universally regarded as
perhaps the mos "solid" institution of
the kind in the country-doing an i'm
mense business almost exclusively in
coin. But its President, Mr.. Ralston, il
is said at least made large use of the
funds of the bank in matters of individ-
uaI speculation. Failing in his nego-
tiations to get control of some rich
mines, whereby it was hoped the firm
would be enabled to save itself, he saw
his bank becoming hopelessly involved,
and in measure supplanted by rival
firm. Further concealment of the true
condition of affairs was impossible. and
shortly after it was made public, the
President, who had lived in a grand
and princely style. committed suicide
by drowning. But for all this, he seems
to be held in high esteem by the people
of San Francisco, if the imposing and
very largely attended funeral services
over his remains, and the half-masting
of the flags of the city, as mark of
mourning at his demise, are any evil

miles west of that place:
"Mr. Joseph Hahn, who lives some
three or four miles west of Marine City,

given to their charge, box of withered

their noses-but why go on with the
catalogue? Everybody who travels
knows the nuisance; every lady who

Interesting to Cattle Men.


John Mccarthy, a cattle shipper. has
brought suit against the Ohio & Mis-
sissippi railroad company, in the circuit
court ofSt. Louis county, which involves
an issue of much importance to the cat
tie trade, and which is, whether
railroad companies are responsible for
for losses resulting from decline
of prices during the transit of
stock, when the stock is delayed in
transit. On the 29th of June Mr..
Mccarthy shipped one hundred and
twenty-five head of fat cattle from ST.
Louis to Cincinnati, worth about five
thousand dollars. The time to be oe-
cupied in transit was specified in the
freight contract with the railroad com
pany. The cattle were delayed twenty
hours beyond that time, and reached the
Cincinnati market after a decline of
fifty cents per hundred pounds. By
this decline Mr.. McCarthys cattle were
worth seven hundred and fifty dollars
less than they would have been had
they reached the market on time. And
for this amount he sues the railroad
company as damage for the non fulfill
ment of the contract. Shonld he be
successful in establishing the liability OF
railroad companies in such cases, it will
he of much value to the trade.
