TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

THE Commissioner of Pensions says, in re-
ply to a request of the chairman of the Sen
ate committee on pensions for an estimate of
the effect on the pension rolls in case the
bill passed by the House amending the laws
granting pensions to the soldiers and sailors
OF the war OF 1872 and their widows becomes
law, that section one will add 1900 names
to the roll by reducing the required term of
service TO ten days, and $4,000 more by ad-
mltting all widows married down 10 1850,
making an addition of $2,000,000 to the an
nual appropriation. The amendment to this
section proposed by the Senate committee,
requires fourteen days service, and that pen
sioners shall have been in some engagement.
1t also excludes widows who were not mar
ried prior to the treaty Of peace and have not
remarked, and under it only about 1900
names, involving an addition of $190,O00 to
the annual appropriation, will be added to
the roll. Sections and 6 of the bill as
passed by the House, which restores to the
rolls all pensioners and widows dropped on
account of participation in the rebellion, will
add 200 names and $4,000. The Senate
committee has stricken out section 6, relating
to widows, and substituted section proYid
ing that allpensions granted for causes which
originated in the service during the rebellion
shall begin from the date of the death or dis
charge from service of the person on whose
account the pension is paid. The gross
arrears of pensions under this new section is
estimated at the enormous sum of $4,000
600, one-fourth of which would be required
the first year after the passage of the act.

ReUeiile, 1900 shares of the stock of

derad at the bank. This represents
$4,000, which is a very large sum for

portion Of this amount is ordered by

The placing of the Manhattan stock
on the Board lists gave rise to h fol-

If the resolution OF the Central Pacific
Railroad Company to make no deduc-
ton in the rates of fares to persons de-
string to visit the Centennial Exhibit
ton is final, it will cause much disap-
pointment among that class who would
like to make the tripif they could do 80
without making an outlay beyond
their means. The fare, alone, at the
present rates, for the round trip from
San Francisco, is about three hundred
dollars, and but little less from the diff
erent points on the road in Nevada; TO
say nothing of the expenses during the
period of the sojourn, which, at the
lowest estimate, would amount to a
hundred dollars more. Doubtless, in
q material point of view, the Pacific
coast will be a gamer if there is no re-
duction in the fares, as nearly every
visitor from here would take their
spare cash along to make purchases
in the cheaper markets in the
East, thus depriving u retail
dealers of a portion of their retail
trade. Doubtless, too, a material re-
duction would induce many to make
the trip who could i'll afford it, as tie
attractions would prove irresistible in
many cases where finances did not
warrant the outlay o positively pro
hlbit it. 1t has been generally sup
posed that fares would be reduced at
least fifty per cent, and many excur
sions were based upon that SUPPOSE
ton; but if they are kept up to the
present figures, We have at least the
gratifying satisfaction that a large
amount of money which would be
taken away and left in the East will re-
main in circulation on the Pacific
coast.

EPHRAIM PICKETT, a ranchman re-

Monday convicted in the District Court,
at Austin, of assault with intent to com
nit a rape upon a little girl only eight
or nine years OF age, the child of a cit
izen of Battle Mountain. Pickett is,
We should judge, about sixty years OF
age. He has a wife and grown chill
dren, and, until this beastly outrage,
had enjoyed a fair reputation.

The Humboldt Register of the 10th
inst. has the following: The boys at
Carlin r amusing themselves now-a-
days playing tricks on stiifs, who are
constantly floating down the railroad .
They caught a subject last week and
put him through at a lively rate. Joe
Woodwork represented a doctor, who
vas willing to pay 49, for the body of a
Chinaman who had committed suicide
4 few days before. II. b., j. X. and
Mr.. Adams (the stiff took a contract to
deliver the body at the DOCTORS office,
and a little before 10 O'Clock arrived
with pick and shovel, proceeded to the
Chinese burying ground and com
menced digging where the carcass OF
the defunct Celestial was supposed to
have been buried. About the time the
body-snatchers had fairly got under
way, about q dozen of the boys had
crawled up within shooting distance
and turned loose their musketry. b.
was badly wounded and yelled Justify,
and X. was killed outright. The stiff
luckily escaped unharmed, and start
ed for town at a gait that would dis
count Occident. The boys returned to
town and found their subject hid
away in Fosters saloon. When ac-
cusod OF being implicated in the at
tempted body snatching, he denied
kno wing anything about it. b. was
then arrested and confessed the whole
thing, and the boys procured a rope
with the avowed purpose of hanging
both. b. showed fight, and in the me.
lee Mr.. Stiff escaped and has not been

A Times Washington special says
the Indian Committee yesterday be-
gan the investigation OF tho letting Of
contracts by the Indian Bureau for the
transportation of Indian SUI plies.
Commodore kountxe appeared before
the committee and gave testimony
Of a severe character against the Indian
Bureau management. lie gave many
instances where he had contracted for
the privilege of conveying supplies up
the Missouri river. In all cases where
he had been bidder he was below the
other bidders; yet, the contracts were
invariably given to others. The evil
dence is regarded as a good basis for
further argument in favor of turning
over the management of Indian af-
fairs to the Army. The subcommittee
that has this special subject in charge
has SEN a letter to the officers in the
army, of experience, asking their opin-
ion Of the contemplated change. 1t is
not probable that there will be a re-
port on the subject under six weeks,
as the subcommittee will make a
most thorough study Of the subject.

MINING THE GnAET CIvILIzER.

The London Mining W07td dis
courses on the effects of miniag on civ
~ilization at considerable length, and
very legitimately concludes as follows:
1t is not too much to say that all the
civilization of which We may boast may
be traced to the application of the met
ais and to the use of coal. Wherever
nations have learned to mine and work
metals, they have become powerful and
rich, subduing their neighbors either
by force OF arms or by greater indus
trial activity, and in either case acquir-
ing their wealth. In the early stages
those who possessed the metals made
an easy prey of their rivals, and in the
present day nations winning their GOALS
and metals do in a better and more ele-
waited sense outstrip their competitors
and become the masters of the world.
All history teaches that those nations
which learned to mine and work met
ais become wealthy, powerful and CIV
ilized, whilst those which have had no
mining industries or ne metallic manu-
features have remained in a state of
barbarism, and that. such, at the pres
ent day, is the distinguishing feature of
savages. Mining industry is indeed
the foundation of all civilization, and
the chief basis on which all industries
must rest, as we'll as being at the same
time the principal element of progress.
Without it, the working class could
gain little beyond the mere necessities,
and as we have often shown that coal
and iron are the first requisites of ma
tional prosperity, so it is to mining that
we must refer the advancement of the
present age.
