Mr.. II. G. TANDY, the Photographic
artist, met with quite mishap at
Boise City shortly after leaving here.
He went out one evening to pay his
respects to young and dashing
"grass widder" with whom he had
become smitten, and she being unusu-
ally sweet and interesting time few
unnoted till the clock told the hour Of
twelve, midnight. He then tore him
self away and stepped out into the
dark night. =. Rain was falling, and
every glim in the capital was doused.
Everything was calm and still-not a
leaf stirred, nor nobody stirred-but
the beating of his own heart was all
the sound he heard. His pathway led
across large water ditch over which
he was feeling his way on slippery
plank, when an unlucky step sent him
skiting into the swirling element. 1t
was not dangerously deep nor swift,
and he would have soon reached the
bank in safety had he n't 6een caught
by the outspreading arms of ponder
Gus water-whecl which had been
grooming and creaking day and night
for nine long and weary years just
like it was hungry and only waiting
for a man like Tandy to come along.
1t snaked him into its Shiny embrace
after tile manner of Hugo's devil fish,
and the seat of his pants becoming
firmly fastened on a prutruding spike
the procession of the equinoxes began
ISlowly the huge wheel carried him up
and over, and under again into the
water. But we'll cut this story short
by simply saying that Tandy went
round with that old water-lifter nine
~ nine times, and he was just going
to tally the one hundredth, when the
} centrifugal force Of the periphery Q
the curve of the circumference OF thu
+. ouadrilateral triangle Of the diameter
or something Of the sort, interviewed
and his pants giving way with ripping
) sound, he went off in a tangeD
and lit in ncighboring peach orch
. ard, very wet, considerable discou'
, aged and deeply cursing the day b
was born. He no doubt wishes him
self back here with al. Bomar. ID
t is going to apply for q. pension as
. survivor of the revolution.

Mr.. KRoEBER, of the Boise County
Bank, has had new chimney built on
the outside of the wall of the building,
and the hIe leading from the furnace
now passes through the wall. The
chimney had been on the inside, but
deeming it dangerous, as the pile OF
coal usually kept on the inside and
next to the wall having been fired
from the heat cngendered, Mr.. Kroe-
Der deemed it prudent to make the
change mentioned. BY means Of ven
tilators the heat in the room about the
furnace, which at times was almost
unbcarablc, is not near so great as
formerly. The new arrangement is a
decided Improvement every way.

A GREATER quantity of freight ar
rives each season for the Chinese res

supposed. Samples teams alone have
delivered two hundred and twenty
thousand pounds China goods since
last spring, and every train that has
arrived. apparently, brings more OF
less of the same character of freight.

pounds of freight for this place, most

thousand pounds for the Chinese mer-
chants at Centerville, and thirty-five
thousand pounds for the Gold Hill Co.
and other parties at Quartzburg. He
says he never made better trip since
he has been on the road. He will
probably return from Boise valley

different parties in the Basin, and re-
turning to Kelton will take out five
hundred hides-two hundred and fifty

The Discount on Silver.
From the Virginia Chronicle.

It would surprise a good many of us, should we find ourselves in possession of 8 few silver bricks, and then not be able to find any one to buy them. Yet such 8 contingency is not among the im- possibilities, for on Saturday last MT. King, of the Nevada Bank, in this city, having an order to sell some silver for a customer, te- legraphed to San Francisco to learn the price that would be paid for it, and received for an answer that they did not want it at any price-that there was no market for it just then. The fact is that at present silver is rather @ drug in the market; more of it is being produced than is needed for coin- age and manufacturing purposes, and as the production is certain to go on at a much greater rate than the present, the supply will rise further and further above the demand, and, unless some channel for increasing it's use be found, the discount will doubtless be more than it now is. At pre- sent, the discount on silver in San Francisco is no less than five per cent. Our merchants here have to submit to some loss on account of this depr eciatiOn of silver, as they have to pay for their goods in gold, while very large proportion of their cash re- ceipts IS paid in silver. But they can doubtless be trusted to adjust the margins of profit so as to avoid any loss to themselves in this matter.

vote for the bill would be primo fdcie evidence that he was bribed, and we believe that any man who accepts a bribe in his legislative capacity, should suffer death.
 But we have strong hope that the bill will pass at the present session. We of Arizona have a deep interest in the construction of the Texas and Pacific Railroad. In addition to it's great importance to the whole nation, there is nOth- ing that could give such an im- petus to the prosperity and deve- lopment of our Territory. Cheap transportation and rapid transit are our great wants, and these the railroad will give us. Let it come, and let not Congress adjourn without granting the reasonable and just proposition of Col. Tom Scott, and then it will come.

Pima Items.

From the Arizona Citizen of Feb. 5. MT. J. Goldberg informs us that the freighters of Tucson, owning and running trains between here and Yuma held a meeting on Monday last, to take some action upon the difficulty presented in the freighting business by the high price of grain, which on the route between Tucson and Yuma has risen to four and five cents per pound. This high price of feed has not only knocked off all profit from the carrying of freight, but has actually entailed loss, on the whole trip. After consider ing the matter in all it's bearings, the freighterS resolved, at this meeting, to raise the price of freight between Tucson and Yuma to seven cents per pound. These gentlemen say they have stood this thing as long as they could, but they'll go no further. They now demand seven cents per pound for each and every pound of freight carried by them on the route referred to, and they state, as an ultimatum, that if shippers demur and refuse to pay this ad- vanced price they will haul off their trains and turn their animals out.
 MT. Goldberg says this action of the meeting is the unanimous action of the freighters on that route, and that they mean busi- ness, and mean just what they Say,-Do more freight from Tue son to Yuma while grain remains as it is, except at seven cents per pound.
 It is stated that the famous and long sought for PIanchas La Plata Mine in Arizona, which Spanish history says yielded pure silver in such huge pieces, 200 years ago, that the crown cOnfscated it for it's own use, has been found by a man named CrutZ, about 90 miles southeast of Tucson near the SOno- ra line.
 We have authoritative advices that the Southern Pacific railroad company intend to complete their road to Yuma during the present year.

 SAN DIEGO, February 1O.-The stage that left here Tuesday even- ing for the north, in fording the San OnOfre creek near Las Flores yesterday morning, the lead horses became entangled in float ing brush and fell and the strong current carried them with the stage down stream to the Ocean. The driver and passengers sue. ceeded in saving two of the horses aud swam ashore. The mail, with stage, baggage and two horses were lost. The ex- press box was afterward washed on the beach and saved.
 The stage that left here for the north last night found the San Diego River bank full and impas. sable and came back. Several streams between here and Ana. helm are reported as impossible and no stages from the north are expected to arrive for day ol two.
 The storm seems to have been general all along the Coast, but is now disappearing. The wires have been down north of Los An. geles and no reports have been received from above for the past two days.
 Ofthe weather here, the Union of this morning says: The storm which had been gathering during Tuesday, broke about 8 o'clock yesterday morning and the rain descended in torrents. In four hours nearly an inch and quar. ter or rain fell. The rain ceased at nine o'clock, and the weather was clear until about 5 o'clock in the evening, when the wind changed to the West with heavy showers. The total rainfall up to half-past eight o'clock last even- ing, as reported from the Signal office by Observer Wells, was one inch and fifty-three hundredths. The highest velocity of wind dur ing the storm was 35 miles per hour. As far as reports are re- ceived from the interior, we learn that the storm was the heaviest of the season. It is probable there was a good fall of snow in the mountain regions. Farmers may now rest in the certainty of the largest crops ever grown in this county.
