AAo wv oNSICOatSI the OutcE one OF luz
usual lily, and covering him from head
to foot; with these two o~vcrcoats aud n,
blanket hu wraps himself up like a
bear, lights his cigar, and denes the
elements, But still he requires occa-
sional refreshing. Whom We reach q
station where the stop is over Tour mill
utes, the German says, "There is time
TO drink q glass OF beer" The beer
Teetns to improve as we travel, and at
Pilscn It Is best Of all, O light-colorcd
liquid, not strong, but full Of vivacity.
The German speaks Of this beer with
enthusiasm 1t Is dusye:eiehnst gut bier.
We are also in o Land Of ~sausaSes, il
must not be forgotten. Here sausage
Is houored, md love for it is a thing
not 10 be concealed. I meant to have
said of the ancient town Of Ralisbon
that. whenI walked through tho streets.
the entire city was pervuded with n
smell Of sausage and cheese to nm er-
tent that I should think one might live
OF the atmosphere there. At these
stations people buy long, slender links
Of sausage, which thoy swing about
like riding whips, while they eat oil
n end. Then they thrust them into
their pocketsi and occasionally, in the
cars, pull them out and eat u foot or
two.
TIE Piochc Journal OF the 23rd inst.
has the following items:
We are Informed by the mail carrier
from Arizona that it WIS reported Mt
Crown Point, the Indian Agency, OH
Tho Mnd1y That ~, T,,ls.,, IL -.
Killed Inst week in the mountains near
that place, by n man named Marion
McLane. He was unable to learn nuy
further particulars III regard to the
affair.
DeKny, the man who murdered his
wife while asleep, Mt Mineral Park, was
taken to Cerbat tried, found guilty and

The mines during tho last week have
been making rather extensive devolop-
ments anti The prospects in the lodges
are encourngingly increasing. The
main shaft OF the Raymond & Ely mine
IS now dry and work at the bottom is
going on. In the Alps the ledge is
increasing in size and richness, and
the daily yield Of ore is large. In the
Piocho good indications are beginning
10 show up. The reports generally
speak we'll for the future.
TIE Paris correspondent Of the Lon
don Times writes the following: It is
asserted that information, received by
various political parties, gives this as
the result of the recent elections: The
senate will include twenty-five Radi-
Gals, sixteen Irreconcilable Bonapartists,
seventy Fusionists, Legitimists and
Orleanists, lie. Ministerialists and Ultra
Legitimists. This estimate includes
the life Senators already elected, and il
correct, shows that the Left will have
12G seats in the Senate. It is reDo1ted
that Buffet is engaged in rectifying
mistakes in the liS.1 OF the Senatorial
delegates furnished by projects. A
semi-ofioial %journel defends the Gov
eminent for not publishing tho returns
OF the election on the ground that IL
would he obviously improper for it to
attempt to classify delegates elected nc
'cording to their political opinions as re-
ported by the projects, while the publi-
cation OF n mere list Of names would
convey no information.
