The Late Stage Robbery.

We take the following item from
the Bakersfield Courier of the Goth:
For some weeks past there has been
q lull in the series of diversions that
were enacted in the vicinity of Cali
ente. 1t is gratifying to observe, how
ever, that the spirit of enterprise is
not yet quite dead, for on Saturday
night the boys resumed business and
the regular stage robbery took place as
usual about three miles from Calien-
te. The Los Angeles stage it was this
time. The robbers have been SO un-
fortunate of late, in getting empty ex-
press boxes, that they were compelled
to levy unwilling contributions from
the passengers on this occasion. The
receipts from all sources, it is sup
posed, scarcely repaid them for their
trouble. AS the passengers did not
pan out very we'll and the box is be-
lieved to have contained but q trifie.
Such continued ill-luck is certainly
discouraging, and commands the re-
spectful sympathy of the brethren.
The discomfort, privation and jeopar-
dy which it is necessary to undergo in
the prosecution of such enter
prses should be rewarded, and
we can assure those who were
engaged in it that the State
would be only too happy to extend to
them its hospitalities, and take them
under it's special care for the rest of
their lives.

The Rain Storm.

The storm Sunday night was one
of the heaviest of the Winter, Ducom-
muns gauge indicating 3.05 inches as
the fall. At an early hour In the eve
and continued increasingly all night,
doing much damage in various por
tions of the city. Owing to the OBJ
stguctions in the water courses and
zanjas many were overfiowed or burst,
and parts of Alameda street and Also
street were flooded. Washes are re.
ported on the Southern Pacific road
and its branches, sadly interfering
with travel The greatest damage was
apparent on Alameda street, near the
depot. The warehouse of S. Levy,
now in the Sheriff's hands, had about
six feet of water in it, to-
tally running the weevilled grain
stored there. Mr.. Kellers wine
depot had four feet in the store and
about six in the warehouse, while the
cellar under the house was full to the
floor. Whole tiers of wine casks We're
floated from theirs place in the ware
house, but we believe no damage was
done. AT the Railroad House, oppo-
site the railroad depot, the water came
in so fast, that at an early hour this
morning Mr.. Stansfield, the propriet-
or, moved his furniture out and took
temporary refuge in a house OPP
posite. The first floors of the hotel
are now covered with mud and slush,
but the water has subsidized. All day
the engines have been busy pumping
the water from Levy's warehouse and
Keller's cellars, and we hope by to-
morrow to report the work as compile
ted. So far we have heard of no de-
struction to life, but would not be sur
prised to receive such news at any mo-
ment, as sheep and cattle were swept
away and drowned. 1t would seem to
be an urgent necessity that our city
officials see that these zanjas and
water channels are kept in such con-
dition that the water may be carried
off. No distractions should be al
lowed under any circumstances.

An Instructive Fact.


A great deal has been said respecting
the dissensions in the Democratic
party Of this State, and especially the
opposition to Gov. Tilden which is
manifested by some conspicuous men.
1t should, however, be thoroughly
understood that there is nothing new in
this matter. This opposition to Mr..
Tilden has been about the same for
several years. The same leading men
opposed him with the same determina-
ton as now when he was first nom
mated for Governor; and they have
opposed him ever since. Not one per-
son Of influence has been added to their
number, except it be the members of
the Canal Ring, with whose nefarious
gains Gov Tilden has effectualIy inter
fered.
Judge Church, Judge Parker, Mr.
Corning, and Judge Allen are all an
tagonists of our reform Governor.
They were such in 1874; and but for
them the Democratic opposition in this
State would be of very little account
to-day. Neyert heless, it is much to be
desired that even these dissensions
should be healed, and this antagonism
removed. That done, the Governor
would have a clear field.

How His Last Engagement Came Very
Near Ending.


The latest story about jim Bennett s
engagement To Miss May, and the post
ponement Of their marriage, is as fol-
lows Mr. Bennett gave q dinner party
at his house on Fifth avenue, some weeks
ago, at which several ladies, including
Miss May, were present. Mr.. Bennett
got very lively toward evening, and, the
dinner being over, asked all the ladies
to step down into the billiard room,
when he would show them something
they had never seen before. All went
down, and having, in obedience to Mr..
Benefits request, got up on the
billiard table, were suddenly startled by
the entrance Of two game-cocks, which,
amid the shrieks of the ladies, who did
not dare to get off the table, set to fight
ing in dead earnest. The ladies
screamed, Mr.. Bennett laughed, and
the cocks fought until, torn and bleed
ing, they were carried out. and the
ladies were free to descend from their
perch. Report says that Miss May was
50 disguised at the behavior Of her in
tended husband that she was on the
point Of breaking her engagement, but
finally it was agreed that the wedding
should he postponed for six months, to
give him a chance to repent, and il Mr..
Bennett is not on his good behavior
during that time, the probability is that
he will be able to add one more to the
already large list Of broken engage
mentS.

Special dispatches from Cincinnati
describe the accidental death Of G. NJ
D. Boss, for many years editor Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. He was struck
and instantly killed by locomotive on
the railroad, near his residence, q few
miles from Cincinnati, last evening.
Mr.. Bloss was one of the most widely
known and most eccentric journalists Of
the West In his better days, he
furnished brains for the Cincinnati
cabal, which at times exercised 50
potential an influence in the councils
Of the Democratic party. He was the
reputed author Of PendletOn's famous
greenback policy, and his vigorous and
ingenious, If illogical, arguments gave
to that remarkable financial craze a
large share Of the vitality which has
enabled ID to survive defeats and disas-
ters that raight have long ago sunk a
better cause into utter oblivion. His
most remarkable mental quality was q
preternatural memory for political
events and details. Obstinate and bitter
in all matters Of craftsmanship, he was
otherwise as simple-hearted and gentle
as a child. BY printers he was best
known for his terrible chirography,
which, gradually deteriorating through
a long course Of years, had lost all re-
semi lance to the ordinary forms Of pen
manship. There are probably not half
dozen men living who could unaided
decipher q page OF his manuscript in a
month
