COLONEL GREY, Chief Engineer of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, accom-
panied by the Commissioners appoint
ed by the Government to examine
and receive the sections of the road as
completed, yesterday went out to the
terminus at Indian Wells and exam
ined the last section. 1t is first-elass
piece of track, but is built through
region that appears to haye received
the eternal curse of the Almighty.
If any one can name any place on the
face of this earth that is more desolate
and dreary, more of barren desert,
than the country from Whitewater
Station to Indian Wells, we should
not care to hear of it, yet over this
bottom of dead sea to point twen-
ty-four feet below the ocean level the
'sgreat monopoly" has built steel
track that is not surpassed by any
railroad in the United States.

The Dead Lock.

The much talked of "dead lockn in
Congress is not in fact what the Re-
publican journals seek to induce the
people to believe, nor will its results
prove as disastrous as predicted. 1t
will affect almost solely the Internal
Revenue Department. Unless COM
promise is effected the Internal Reve-
nue. Department will shut up shop on
the first of July. After that date we
shall have no more legitimate whisky;
no more stamped cigars, and not an
other package of regular matches. The
determination of the Democratic ma
jority in the House to reduce expendi-
lures by forty million dollars will de-
prive the revenue officers of their
salaries and the Government of the
moiety of funds that reach the treas
ury from the Internal Revenue De-
partment. The business of the custom
houses will continue as usual. That
source of revenue is governed by diff
ferent laws, and the gold realized from
customs will continue to come in. But
the army of revenue officers will be-
come an Othelle, to the extent of being
without an occupation. All this might
follow the dead lock, if the dead lock
should follow, but it will not. There
are balances in the treasury, and the
President suggests that these balances
be used for the payment of salaries
until the two Houses can agree on
some compromise plan. Thus the
forty million dollars of taxes will be
collected from the people as usual. 1t
strikes US that however well meant
may be the retrenchment movement
of the House, it does not commence in
the right place. In place of cutting
down the salaries of officers it would
be better to abolish the law under
which those officers operate. There
are hundreds of positions in the Inter.
nal Revenue Department in which
every dollar collected is absorbed in
the process of collecting. These posi-.
tions add not one cent to the revenue
of the Government-they are simply

More Trouble.

And now come the knowing ones
with the assurance that it was DoN
CAMERON who dropped the fatal spi-
der into BLAINE's dumpling. There
is good deal in this which the ini-
tiated know and the uninitiated do
not know. One of the things that all
do know is that President GRANT was
uncompromisingly opposed to BLAINE
and used his mighty power to defeat
his nomination. One of the things
that those on the inside do not
know is that GRANT and the GAMER
ON family are all the same in po-
litical sense. Don CAMERON went to
Cincinnati with instructions from the
President and his father to nominate
the White House pet, CoNKLING, if
possible, but to defeat BLAINE at all
hazards. The proceedings of the Con-
vention set forth that Don could not
control the Pennsylvania delegation.
This will do to tell to the "marines,n
but those who know old SIMON CAM
ERON, need no assurance that those
delegates could not have been dele
gates without being his creatures.
Don could have cast the delegation
solid for CoNKLING at any ballot from
the first to the last, but to have done
so, without the move being an effec-
tive one, would have been impolitic,
because it would have exposed the
game without winning the stake.
The grand object was to defeat
BLAINE, but that gentleman proved
so hard to beat that Don found it nec-
essary to throw over the Presidential
pet and join forces with the Internal
Revenue ring. HAYES was the rings
choice, and by going over to it Don
defeated the most popular man before
the Convention and sacrificed CoNK-
LING. This aspect of the proceedings
enables the outsider to understand the
Presidents congratulatory message to
HAYES. Don CAMERON did all that
could be done under the circum-
stances. His task was to defeat
BLAINE first, and nominate CoNK-
LING if he could. The President is
pleased, if not happy.

HaIleek in Old "B0hemIo."

When FitZ-Greene Halleck came up
from Connecticut once or twice year
it was his wont to call in and see the
"young fellows" as he cal. ed us.
Some called him Bozarris, and some,
for short, would hail him as Marco.
He laughed and took everything good
humoredly. He was pleasant and jo-
vial as young man of twenty. He
liked hot whiskey punch very hot.
Sitting by his side one evening that
he surprised us with visit, he order
ed a hot whiskey. He would take a
sip or two and then say: "Young man
this is rather cold; l want it hotter.n
Before he finished his punch he had
made it "hottern three times. He
said to us: "When 1 die / shall have
no literary reputation to leave behind
me. What l have written has been
for pastime, not for fame or money!"
l said, "Your Marco Bozzaris will
live.n His answer was: "It may, till
something better takes its place.
wrote that poem with blood at fever
heat, and gave it three sittings.n 1t
was the general expression of hope
round the table, after several rounds
of drinks, that Astor would open his
heart and increase Marcos pension
from the paltry $500 which he receiv-
ed to at least $4,000 year. But Hal
leck would laugh, shake his head and
declare himself entirely happy and
satisfied.

Magnolia Flower.

Most of our citizens are aware that
there is magnolia tree eight or nine
years old Towering in ihe splendid
grounds surrounding the residence of
mr.. C. E. Thorn, on Main street, but
they are perhaps not aware that this,
on the Pacific coast, rare tree is now
covered with blooms, one of which was
last evening presented to US by Mr..
Jackson A. Hathwell. 1t is truly
beautiful flower, snowy white and full
six inches in length and diameter 1t
is as fragrant as beautiful. Major Nc
Pherson gives us the following con-
cerning the magnolia: "Magnol, a
French botanist, was the first to in
troduce this right royal flower of
North America to Europe. There are
some seven species of this admirable

Mysterious Disappearance.

Among the curiosities that some of
our scientific gentlemen carry about
with them, when visiting their lady
friends, are some queer specimens.
One, distinguished botanist who has
also reptflian taste, has been In the
habit of carrying serpent five feet
long. He visited lady friend the
other day, taking with him his mon-
strous serpent, which he deposited
with his hat, in the front room. The
savant passed very agreeable even
ing with his lady friend. When about
to take his departure, however, he
discovered, to his dismay, that his pet
reptile has escaped from its place and
disappeared. Diligent search was
made throughout the house, but no
trace of his snakeship could be found,
and it isquite certain 1t could not have
got out of doors. The snake, though
lost several days ago, has not yet been
found, and some curiosity is felt as to
where a snake five feet long could hide
himself so successfully. the parties
are quite certain it was not swallowed
