Eagle Anvil Works
Established 1881

Made at the oldest Anvil mandatory in this
country. All English Auyils. after time, become
following on the face by continued hammeriDg in
use, on account of the brous nature of the wrought
iron-causiDg 1t to settle under the steel
But the body Of the Eagle Anvil being of crys-
tallized iron, such settling cannot occur; and the
steel face therefore remains perfectly true. Also,
it has the great advantage, that being of more
SOLID material, and, consequently, with less re-
bound, the piece forged receives the FULL effect
OF the hammer instead of part of it being wasted
by the rebound, as with a wrought iron Anvil.
More work can therefore be done on this Anvil
with hammer one-fifth lighter than required for q
wrought iron Anvil which is more elastic.

Mr. Walter proprietor Of the London Times,

Wbs of Rome, by three highwaymen AIMED
with stilettos.
1t is reported that Russia and Persia have
entered into secret alliance. The European
news at this writing is decidedly warlike. Rus
STA has decided to accept the Turkish
circular as complete rejection of the
protocol, and to decline the Portes
offer to send a special envoy to the
Russian capital on the ground that further ne
gotiatiOn is useless. Orders have also been
issued for the calling in of all furloughed SOL
diers, and Russian Consuls are leaving Turkish
ports. Turkey is pushing forward reinforce
ments to the Danube, and has peremptorily
declined to renew the armistice with Mon
tenegro.
The stand assumed by Turkey in it's emphat-
lc refusal to accept the protocol and it's def
ance Of the European powers would seem to be
the breaking down of the last barrier between
the colliding nations and war. The language
Of Turkeys note is sharp, and the expression of
the Porte's views unmistakabie. It states in
very forcible terms that the recent disturbances
within the Turkish borders have been instigated
by external influences, leaving very plain in
ference that Russia is to be held responsible
for the troubles "The Imperial Govern
ment," says The note, sis ready to replace it's
armies on peaceful footing as soon as it shall
see the Russian Government take measures to
the same end"
Lord Derby has addressed a note to the En-
glish representative at Constantinople, in which

Touching the position of Austria in the i'm
pending struggle, the London Teleqrap7,'s Vi

tria will not be able long to remain an indiffer-

to assume is one of defensive neutrality. The
influence of the Russian Slay Committee ex-
tends almost to Austria's frontier, and Austrian
statesmen, who consider its vicinity a perma-
nent peril, are bent on checking its progress,
and are taking steps to annihilate it's effects on
the Slav population

To q delegation of Quakers, who called on
him the other day, with petition for a contin-
uation of the "peace policy in Indian affairs,
the President remarked that he will be in favor
of peace everywhere but that he may not be
quite so far advanced on that question as his
VISITORS for he believes that there is occasion
sometimes to resort to military force. In other
words, he is willing to fight for peace if he
can't get it in any other way.

farm to delve for gold in the mountains
of this land of the pioneers, we emphati-

We should be glad to think that there
was plenty and prosperity for everyone
who seeks to settle among us-but. all
the same, there isn't. We do possess
something OF an approach to eternal
summer and the gigantic strawberries
the East is so tired of hearing us brag
about, but that is about all. Sooth to
say, double eagles do not grow upon
trees In Frisco; all the new eager arrivals
to the contrary notwithstanding. In
plain English, the paper that speaks of
the magnificent opportunities this State
presents to the newcomer, lies, and lies
in a very gratuitously criminal way in
deed. The unvarnished truth is that
our labor market is stocked to overflow
ing, and every fresh arriving train but
adds to the miserable multitude in our
midst that awaits, suffers, starves, and
finally fights it's desperate way back East
again. Before the door of every employ
ment office in this city to-day stands a
hollow-eyed swarm that would sadden
the heart of satyr. Men of brains and
culture, good clerks, excellent account
ants, business men of undeniable energy,
mechanics of ability, walk the streets in
dumb despair, and finally take those
that lead to the bay and the morgue. It
is truly said that San Francisco is Cali
fornia, and here all the misery and suf-
fering OF those who have journeyed from
afar to grasp in monotonous repetition
the glittering mirage of fortune are seen.
The writer of this cannot remember one
evening for very many that he has not
been asked for coin to buy meal or a
bed by men who would have sooner died
on the rack than have asked aims in the
light of day. And some of them do die
on the rack--the rack of continued dis
appointment and bitter misery. Every
train that leaves Oakland is crowded with
east-going emigrants, who several times
repeat their unhappy story to the west

martyrs they have left behind them here.

GradatiOnS of Crime.

The wisdom of many peoples, and of
all ages ordains for the punishment Of
the same act various degrees Of severity,
according to the influence of circum-
stances or the guilt Of the offenders.
Thus, homicide may be only killing by
misadventure, or willful murder, or high
treason, according as the case may be.
It is, therefore, strictly on principle that
the act of converting to ones own use
the money of another exhibits, in the
light of our lofty civilization, various
gradations of guilt which, after the man
ner of criminal statutes, are signifed by
appropriate names, the amount of the
spolation being in this case the princi-
pal criterion. Thus:

Wild Dogs.

NJ. Poliakoff has discovered, in Soor-
goot, on the Obi and Tobolsk, an in
stance of the reversion of the domestic
dog to wild state. The woods of the
district shelter companies of these dogs,
which hunt the reindeer and other wild
beasts, and, driven by hunger, descend
upon the focks of the settlers, creating
havoc among them. The habits of the
animal are similar to those of the red
Highland wolf (Canis Alpiaus) of East
ern Siberia; but, on close examination,
it is found to be identical in all respects
with the common dog of Tobolsk, save
that the body is somewhat longer, and
the legs comparatively shorter.
