MIR. DENNETTsS MISSION.
CN. O. Price Current, Sept. 90,

Mr.. D. Dennett is about to start for Phil
adelphia with his chief purpose to work for
the interest of Louisiana, by the circulation
of his we'll known volume, b" Louisiana as
it is, and by delivering q series OF lectures
at various points on the valuable aud di
versiied resources of the State fairly re-
presenting t. the farmers of the North, the
peculiar advantages of this State, and its
attractions to the immigrant.
He expects to be able to get up O eiDgle
copy of large and fioeiy colored topogra -"
phical map of this State, to be used before
Northern and Western audiences in ell of
hls future lectures in those States.
He has faith that the eyes of the North
ern and Western people can be opened to
che real character of Louisiana and her
people, and that one mode is for lecturers to
go among them with maps and facts, and
armed with truths that cannot be met or
overcome, expose the misstatements that
have been so widely published against u.s.
Mr.. d. intends to follow up this move
ment in coming years, and is sanguine in
the belief that the seed which he sOws will
yet spring up and bear q hundred fold.
We have on several occasions fsvorably
noticed Mr.. bennett and his book. In part
ing from him on his Northern and Western
mission, we wish now to aver that we have
not said q word in his praise that Was not

Eighty Hours Between Oceans.

Acting on the experience of the
lightning express" trains on the New
York Central, Pennsylvania Central and
Baltimore roads, Messrs. Jarrett and
Palmer, who are giving the magnificent
spectacle of 'sHenry "" in the princi-
pal cities of the United States, have de-
termined to try the experiment of max
ing the speed of forty miles an hour
across the Continent in a special train
chartered to transport the properties,
scenery and performers to San Francis
co. Mr.. Jarrett, thorough railroad
man, made the calculations, found the
plan feasible, if the venture would justi-
fly the expense, obtained the consent of
his partner and the concurrence of Mr..
John Mccullough, who shares in the
profits and expense of the enterprise in
California, and made proposals to the
railroad companies, which have been
accepted, as we learn from the East,
and in June the train to make the trip
across the Continent in eighty hours
will start from New York. Three days
and a third And the reason for max
ing the experiment is very sensible: to
produce the tragedy, as it has been pro-
duced in Booth s Theater and elsewhere,
requires the transportation of an i'm
mense quantity of material, and large
troupe of performers, most of them
brought from London and Paris ex-
pressly for this play; the cost for
freight and fares on the ordinary trains,
added to the salaries going on during
the seven days, will equal the amount
necessary to be paid for the privilege of
running a special train on three days
time, with only three days salary to
pay For the eclat to be gained by this
enterprise Mr.. Mccullough expressed
willingness to contribute a liberal sum,
and Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer take the
risk on the rest. A few friends will be
permitted to participate in the eighty
hour trip across the Continent, which
will undoubtedly stand for many years
as marvel of fast riding for such
long distanee.-San Francisco Alta,

A Disguised Deadhead and Frightened
Fireman. -...-..r,'.

One man will never deadhead any
more on trains running down the
True kee Canyon. Just as the midnight
train pulled out from Truckee he Jump
ed ON to the pilot of the engine. No
one saw him. 1t was one of the. en-
gines that have a space between the
boiler-head and the top of the pilot, and
he snuggled down SO close inthis space
that the fireman passed him unnoticed
while oiling the engine. The place was
warm and cosy, owing to the heat from
the boiler, and as the train swept around
the curves of the river the man kept
ehuckling quietly at the cute manner in
which he was swindling Leland, STAN
ford & Co. Boca, Camp Is, and Bron-
co were passed, and the deadhead was
gIinning from ear to ear at thoughts of
his wonderful luck. Suddenly there
was crash! bang! thud! that trans

thud.. The engine had struck some
thing with great violence, and whatev-

changed looks of astonishment. Each
had caught glimpse of something-a

shot around the point. Not word was

A Distressing Case.

The conjunction of the season of gifts
with the season of Revolutionary MEM
ories presents fitting opportunity for
directing the attention of our patriotic
and benevolent citizens to a case of eN-
treme destitution that has lately been
brought to our notice; it is that of Mr..
John Blake Washington and his family,
of Sumnerville, s. c., whose entire for
tune was swept away by the civil war,
and who are now reduced to the neces-
sity of depending for the very means of
subsistence on the charity of their
friends. Mr.. Washington is the only
living grandson, bearing the surname,
of Colonel William Washington, the
hero of the battle of Eutaw Springs,
whose flag, it will be remembered, was
carried in honor to the Centennial cele-
bration at Concord and Lexington last
April. Colonel Washington was first
cousin to General George Washington,
and at one time his companion in arms.
Mr. Washington's present distress is
not owing in any wise to willfulidleness;
he has made every effort in the last few
wears to embark in some kind of busi-
ness, but in vain. Mrs. Washington, his
devoted wife, has opened a chill
dren's school, but thus far
has succeeded in getting but two
pupils, each of whom pays the miserable
fee of two and one-half dollars month.
The country about Sumnerville is
swarming with ignorant negroes, and
the white minority are generally too
poor or too Indifferent to the value of
education to send their children to a Sc
lect school. ..r. .-
The plight of this unfortunate family
is both painful and urgent; they need
assistance, and need it speedily. Are
there not some among our favored
countrymen whom this appeal will
reach ready to extend helping hand?
A trifie saved from the holiday fund
will scarcely be missed, and there is no
telling the happiness it may carry to
this Impoverished home, which has
sometimes seen whole days pass without
the spreading of its frugal table. Mr..
Richard n. Harrison, counselor-at-law,
has consented to receive contributions
in behalf of Mr. Washington and his
family at his office, No. 10 Broadway,
in this city. All receipts will be duly
acknowledged.-NeD York EUentng

exchanged. Sam grasped the faring
torch which firemen carry and ran out
to the front of the boil
er. For an instant Sam leaned
over and held the torch out ard above
the pilot, and then slowly turned and
walked back into the cab. 4" My God :"
he gasped, ''we have killed a man.
ais he mangled much?' eagerly in
quired the engineer. 81 couldn't tell, :"
said Sam, ''he was all covered with
blood" There was unbroken silence in
that cab until the train pulled into Yer
di and stopped. Slowly, mechanically,
each man took light and went forward
to examine the dead. Imagine their as
tonishment when they arrived and found
blood and pieces of flesh, and all that,
and no man. Sam insisted that he was
lying down close to the boiler, and could
not possibly have rolled off the pilot;
yet he was gone. There was blood on
the headlight, blood on the boiler, the
pilot, and everywhere. All night long
they wondered and queried and puzzled
over the sad mystery, and it was not
until the next day that they learned the
truth The engine had struck COW and
literally dashed her to pieces. Our un-
known friend was so scared, so dreneh-
ed with blood and covered with the ma
terial composing the COW that he was
quite disgusted with dead-heading. He
lay perfectly still.until the train stopped;
then he crawled out from his nesting
place unscathed, and really enjoyed the
cool night-walk to Reno. Sam Redmond
has never to this day recovered from the
fright he received when he saw that
blood-drenched deadhead lying stretch
ed out on the pilOt.-Trucbee (Cal. Re

srHoRoUeHr TRAINING NEEDED.
$50 far there has been alack of earn
!estness and patience in women who de
sire to fit themselves for special occu-
pations. The sooner they become con-
vinced of the necessity of serving reg
ular apprenticeship, the better If they
are to compete with men, they must
60 through the same training;- without
this, their work will be inferior, and
their wages consequently less. The
present custom of paying less for work
because it is q woman'sis unjust; but it
viii doubtless in the end give way to a
more equitable mode of settlement,
brought about by that commercial value
of the production in which there is no re-
cognition of sex. John Stuart Mill says
that ''ssThe things in which man mostex-
GELS woman are those which require
most plodding and long hammering at
single thoughts" but there seems to be
no especial reason why it should be so
in professions where the endowments
of the woman are equal to those of the
man, and where her physical character
istics are not an obstacle to their pur-
suit. Woman is stronger and has
greater power of endurance than is gen
orally believed. The other day wo-
man swan 10 miles in the Thames.
There are few men who could do as
much The mare has the swiftness and
endurance of the horse; and, if the wo-
man were permitted to enjoy the nat
ural advantages of the man, in training,
pastime, and work, she would not lag
much behind him. ..I. -.-.

Mr.. Bishoff is one of the "solid men"
of Elko, where he has been in business
since the town was started in the win

Yield Of Precious Metals During 1875.

j. j. Valentine, General Superin-
tendent of Wells, Fargo & Co., pub
fishes the annual statement of the pro-
duction of the precious metals in the
States and Territories west of the Mis-
souri, River, including British Columbia
and the western coast of Mexico, during
1875. The statement shows an aggre-
gate yield of $50, O,S89 ,O37, being an ex-
cess of S6,487, ,982 over that of 1874,
which was the greatest previous annual
yield in the history of this coast. The
Yield in Nevada, Colorado, Mexico,
Oregon, British Columbia, Montana,
and Arizona increased. 1t decreased
in California and in Idaho, Utah, and
Washington Territories. The increase
is actual, except for Mexico, Oregon,
and Arizona, where it is apparent rather
than real, as compared with other years.
The decrease in California is, in the
main, occasioned by a stinted water
supply for placer and hydraulic
mining. The present prospects indi-
cate an aggregate yield of S90, 100000
for 1876, of which Nevada will doubt
less. produce $50, ,000, 900. ..f-ia..'-H--=s

The Boston Cooking School.

The Boston cooking school is capi-
tai affair. 1t is under the management
of a company of ladies who hire the
rooms and see that the cook teacher is
competent Then lessons of two hours
each are given to classes OF two, three
and four, or to single pupil, as the
learners prefer. The terms are S15 for
ten lessons. The pupils do the cooking
themselves under the direction of the
teachers, and may, if they ike, eat what
they cook. Many of the classes are COM
posed of middle-aged ladies who are ex-
cellent housekeepers, but 60 to the cook
ing school to learn to make certain de-
licious or ornamental dishes, in which
the teacher excels. The school has no
publicity, and its classes are formed and
waiting long before they have oppor-
tunity to go. The results are excellent,
and every city would find such school
would be well supported.
