Needles at the Colorado and secure a direct connection between San Fran cisco and St. Louis, rendering them independent of the Union Pacific, while Scott will carry out his original scheme of a direct line along the 32d parallel to the Bay of San Diego and stop there, abandoning his idea of go- ing to San Francisco and giving the Southern Pacific connection with his road at San Diego"
 SAN DIEGO, December D. Dis patches from Columbia, s. c. dated i a. m., December 1, says that both polit- ical delegations of the House of Rep resentaiives, occupy the State House and both are in session with their sep arate officers. The members are sleep ing, smoking and conrersing, and few of them listening to the elOquence of a negro from Charleston county, known as Fancy Bill, the Santa Fe orator. Both parties are holding the fort till to- morrow. The Democrats know that if they go out, they will be not be read mitted and they propose to stay until 12 m. tomorrow when the Laurens and EdgtieId delegations will doubtless be ejecled by Federal soldiers. The scene in this hall al this hour is unique and interesting; there is free and easy air about it, that does not agree with the situation as it really is.

In most particulars the account CIV
en- by Curley Of the fight is confirmed
by the position of the trail made by
Custer in his movements, and the
general evidences of the battlefield.
Only one discrepancy is noted, which
relates to the time when the fight came
to an end. Officers of Reno's COM
mand, who, late in the afternoon, from
high points surveyed the country in
anxious expectation of Clusters APP
pearance, and commanded view of
the field where he had fought, say that
no fighting was going on at that time
between five and six o'clock. 1t is
evident, therefore, that the last of Gus

earlier hour in the day than Curley. re-

Significance of Statutes.

THE New York Journal Of COM
nerce gives, in reply to correspon-
dent, the following interesting infor-
nation concerning salutes by big
guns:
The National salute is determined by
the number Of States composing the
Union, at the rate of one gun for each
State.
The Presidents and eX-Presidents of
the United States are alone entitled to
receive salute Of tWenty-one guns,
except in the case of visit from
foreign sovereign, or chief magistrate
of any foreign republic, who shall be
received with the same honors pre-
scribed for the President.
The Vice-President is entitled to
salute of seventeen guns.
The heads of the Executive Depart
ments of the National Government,
Justices of the Supreme Court, the
General commanding the Army, the
Admiral of the Navy, and the Cover
nors of States and Territories, within
their respective Jurisdictions, are each
entitled to fifteen guns.
The Lieutenant-G General of the Army
and the Vice-Admiral of the Navy
also receive salute Of fifteen guns.
A Major-General and Rear-Admiral
receive a thirteen-gun salute, and
a Brigadier-General and Commodore
carrying the broad pennant, eleven
guns.
Ministers of the United States to and
from foreign powers are to be saluted
with fifteen guns, and Charge d'Af-
fairies or Commissioner with thirteen
guns, when visiting port or post of
the United States. In similar cases a
Consul-General receives nine and
Consul seven guns.
Naval, military and civil officers of
foreign nations are received with the
salute prescribed for our own officers
of the same rank.
Any foreign vessel Of war of ma
UlOll III dlIlIUy w lUu Ilos VII dll1NIu dU oily
port in the United States, shall be sa-
luted gun for gun, the former taking
the initiative in firing. Return salutes
between officers of equal rank are Civ
Ell gun for gun; when given by a SUI
perior or inferior officer, if the inferior
be Commodore with the broad pen
nant, eleven guns; if a Commodore
commanding a single vessel, nine guns;
if a Captain, or less, seven guns.
When several officers entitled to salutes
are assembled on board one vessel, a
single salute is fired, consisting of the
number Of guns belonging to the senior
officer in rank.
TWenty-one guns are also to be fired
on the 4th day of July and the 22d day
of February

Haste in Building.

The gO-ahead spirit of our people
leads them to do all things in the brief
est time possible; and the building of
dwelling, which should be thing to
endure for ages, is usually performed
in the course of a few months, from
the excavation to the finishing touches
of the painters brush. Good sense
ought to teach a man that a house
test OF climatic changes. We have
known men to erect houses of quite a
pretentious character in the space of
three months, and they claimed good
deal of merit for the ability to push
such an enterprise through in so short
a time. But we know that a house so
built will show within twelvemonth
that haste is not the most commercial
bic virtue in house-building. Some of
the defects which will be sure to ap-
pear we can name: Cracked ceilings
and walls; wide openings between the
baSe-boards and floors; door frames
out of true, and doors that will not
Shut. Says in foundation and roof;
gaps around castings and stairWays
and openings between the floor boards
wide enough to admit free circula-
ton of air. A house cannot be built
solidly and be built hurriedly. Onthis
subject the american Builder says
at is pity that we could not begin
the new century with more thought
and deliberation in building, not only
as the inception of a thoroughly orig
inal style worthy of this republic, but
also as to the greater durability of
work. Future building in this coun-
try must have reference to the latter,
or failure will be the result "-Detroit

A Book Agent Nearly Hurt.

THE La Crosse Leader, exulting in
the fancy that book agent is well
nigh inYulnerable, declares that one
recently met with a serious accident in
the suburbs of La Crosse. He was
walking along the railroad when
freight train came along. The unfor-
tunate man was struck by the engine
and knocked directly across the track,
some fifty-three cars passing over him.
He was then tumbled down a bank
500 feet high, over stones and stumps,
and just as he got to the edge of the
river he struck against a pile-driver
that was at work, and, his head laying
on the top Of the pile for minute or
two, the pOnderous hammer descended,
striking him on the cheek, bruiSing
his face somewhat. The shock rolled
him into the river just as an up-river
packet was passing, and, by some mis-
hap, the unfortunate man was en-
tangled in one of the wheels, and
Whirled round and round for an hour
and half before he was discovered
and released. He was picked up near
ly senseless and removed to the cabin,
where his wants were supplied After
he had eaten hearty meal he was APP
preached by the captain, who asked:
SIS there anything you would like
to have?"
"No, no." replied the canvasser,
EFthere is nothing but this
What! what?' calculated the cap
tain, ''What is it?"
The book agent smiled sweetly as
he produced subscription list and
said:
"Subscribe for that beautiful book
entitled The Poisoned Gum Drop, or
the Candy Wonan's Revenge by the
author of Jones, the Button-Hole
Maker"

found. To carry out her fatal project
she had chosen one of the most TO-
mantle and picturesque sights on the
envirOns of Ems; she had laid her
plaid shawl on the grass and had
thrown herself upon it, her face
turned toward the Mahlsberg Hills.
Her parasol was by her side,
and in her right hand she held a six
chamber revolver, with one bullet
of which she had shot herself in the
heart. In the other hand she grasped
GOethe's famous work Wilhelm Meis-
ter's Lehrjhare, a yes giseminnicht
marking the page where she had left

rused were those which describe how
the arrival of Theresa, Wilehlm'S be-
trothed causes the death of Mignon.
1t would appear that Mile. Stein was
betrothed, to young nobleman. the
Graf Won B., who was possessed of
very slender means. On the morning of
her death Mile. Stein had received a let
ter stating that Herr Won B.. who was
stopping at Hanover, had lust been
betrOthed to cousin, whose father
possessed large fortune. The pros
pect OF acquiring the opulence which
his social position in measure neces-
STATED had, said the letter, induced
the young Graf to cancel his former
promises and to seek an alliance with
his wealthy cousin. This letter pro-
duced terrible effect on the unfortu-
nate actress. After reading it she at
| once left the house, and having formed
the project of committing suicide, at
| once put it into execution. The most
terrible circumstance in connection
with the whole affair is that the letter
was simply hoax. Graf Won B. had
never asked for his cousins hand. and
had never ceased to be true to the poor
girl whose despair drove her to this
desperate act. His uncle had promised
to obtain for him an official position of
Importance, and he was stopping with
him, daily awaiting a reply to the APP
plication which had been made to the
authorities at Berlin.-Paris Cor. GZ0s-

And OH how enchanting were each.

We hear not the truth, but silly-made tale.
That 'tisn't worth seeing-"Oh? I wouldn't go
To see such crowd, it would trouble me so!'
Why not state the fact and let it 60 by,
The journey and all like the grapes are too high!
He writes from the Centennial:
"There are many famous chairs,
arm chairs, chairs iag-bottomed,
broad bottOmed, cane-bottOmed and
leather-bottomed Washington has
sat in most of them. Judging from
the indications in Independence Hall,
Washington was persevering setter
as we'll as a retriever Of his country S
fortunes. He must have had great
talent for sitting. The suspicion will
develop itself here that the Father OF
his Country never saw a chair but that
he desired to monopolize it. He said
to himself: FThere is another chair
let us confer Immortality upon it and
the family who own it." Then he sat
down. This made one of the first
families Apparently all these first
families have sent their chairs to In
dependence Hall. They stand in lieu
of patents of nobility"
COMPLAINTS reach us from the ex.
hibitOrs Of steam-pumps. at the Cen
tennial Exhibition, and also from
those who are interested in seeing
them operate, that the supply of steam
is utterly inadequate to the require
ments. The steam furnished is moi
more than from eight to thirteen
pounds pressure per square inch, and
this, little as it is, is only disposable
from nine a. m. until two p. M, when
it is entirely shut off, thus depriving

and the visitors to witness the opera
