A LUNATIC LOOSE.
An Insane Mans BtoOdy Exploits on q Flying
Train.

Train.
From passengers on the overland
train which passed Reno Yesterday
morning we learn the particulars OF a.
half hour OF multiplied horrors which
took place on the train between Truckee
and Reno. 1t was just after the hour OF
midnight, and the train was rushing
along at the usual speed when large,
stroDgly-!ormed man came into the
sm oklng-cars where were seated EX-
Conductor Carmichel, formerly of the
Virginia & Truckee Railroad, and a few
other passengers. There was something
in his appearance which at once attract
ed the attention OF the drowsy occu-
pants ofthe car, and caused them all to
look up and toward each other as he
stood Tor moment looking wildly about
him. ...... ..
He went to where Mr.. CaTmichel was
seated and commenced talking strange
ly and incOherenLly with him. He said
That gentleman had a dangerous white
hair in his head, and at the same time,
drew a large poeket-kni1e and began
brandishng it about and threatening TO
kin him If he moved from his seat. This
was signal tor general stampede of
the other occupants of the car, but Mr..
Carmichel was not allowed to move.
| There he sat- and there stood the mad
mai, brandishing his knife in close proX-
| unity to the heau OF his intended victim.
| The passenger said this lasted for some
thirty minutes, and doubtless it seemed
that long to Mr.. Carmtchel, who was un-
armed and in momentary expectation of
feeling the cold and gliLtering steel.
But Mr.. CarmicnePs presence of mind
uid not desert him.
He talked with The maniac, and finally
| induced him t. forego his bloody purpose
and take seat. Tnis he dld two seats
behind Mr.. Carmichel, where the
atter's movements could be watched.
As soon as possible, however, the latter
| Jumped up and broke for the car door.
| rhe tiend sprang after him like a
panther and caught him before he could
escape. Ere the fugitive was rescued
the madman had almost carved him into
strips. The most dangerous wound Of
all was made in an endeaVOr TO cut Mr.
CarmichePs throat. 1t extends from in
| front to the nape OF his neck, but lOrtu-
nately severed none OF the main veins Or
arteries. The victims head was ter
rlbly cut and slashed, as were also his
| hands, legs and arms.
After Mr.. Carmichel was released the
| lunatic was thrust into the car and both
doors locked by the brakeman. This
did not seem to please the mend. He
| took a stick of wood ana smashed the
| windows of the car generally, and tnal-
| ly battered down the door, reached the
platform and leaped from the flying
train. The train shortly afterMar d
reached Reno, where Mr.. CarmicnePs
wounds were dressed and his wants
cared Tor. An engine was Immediately
manned aud SEM back toward ne H.
tie station, Mystic, where the flying leap
OF the mailman was made, to search tor

wretch survived his leap or not. Mr..

and severe, are not cons uered uanger-

Agitation in Favor of Despotism

| The effect OF the recent agitation is 10
| give a great and new advantage to des-
Dotism. Another OF its effects is TO re-
nabilltate and restore principles OF ma
tional policy which the foremost English
statesmen OF the last hall century
seemed to have persuaded this country
to renOunce. Ii There was one prnclp lie
against which English Liberal or Liber-
alIZing Governments cOntended more
steadily than another, it was the prince
| pie that religious sympathies should
guide or impede the operation Of states
manshlp.
The system OF administration in Ire
land was justified on the ground that
Irish Orangemen were the natural allies
OF English Protestants. The consplr-
acy Of the European sovereigns against
constitutional liberty defended itself on
the plea OF community in sympathy with
certain religious doctrines, ami called
itself The Holy Alliance. The religious
basis OF these organizations was seen by
the fathers Of the present Liberal party
to be an excuse for any amount of
tyranny and a cover for any amount of
sordid ambition, and their statesman
ship was asked to the utmost to destroy
IL.
But the avowed object of the recent
aSlGdtou lS w louuu All alllanCe on re-
ligious sympathy. Because Euglishmen
are Christians, and because Russians
are Christians, it is their common duty
to detesU Mahometanlsm; and the fact
that England and RUSSIA have been
hitherto the champions and representa-
lives of fdiametrically opposite political
principles ought to be no obstacle TO an
alliance and a common line of action
dictated by community OF religious faith
and community of religious antipathy.

THE LANDLORDS OF CALIFORNIA
California, more than any other State
of the Union, has its future hampered
by an extensive system of land monopo-
lies. Those sections OF the State which
are the richest in agricultural resources
and the most favored by location and
climate are very largely in the hands of
few owners, whose holdings are in
many instances larger than the posses
sions of the wealthiest British land
lords. These immense tracts have in
most cases been acquired through the
means OF old Spanish claims, by the
purchase of which soon after the acqu-
sition of California few enterprising
men have become enormously rich.
Many OF these tracts are held Tor
speculative purposes, unimproved and
unproductive, adding nothing to the
wealth of the country and retarding the
substantial growth of the State. Others
are divided up into large farms or
ranches, where agriculture is carried on
ON a scale, the magnitude of which
neither this or any other country proba-
bly, ever witnessed. Still other tracts
are appropriated to cattle ranges and
stock raising.
a few figures will best give the reader
an idea OF the extent of this California
landed aristocracy and the small chance
OF success for the emigrant of small
means. Santa Clara County contains
700, 600 acres, Of which 27 persons own
100000 acres; Santa Cruz County con-
tains 320 600 acres, one-half of which is
owned by 81 men; $4,000 acres OF Mon
terry County are owned by 80 men; over
one-half, or $4,000 acres, of San Luis
0bispo County are in the hands of Ga
owners; nearly all of Santa Barbara,
which contains 100000 acres, is in the
hands OF 81 spectators; 10 persons own
two-ffths Of Los Angeles County, and
SO men own 800, 900 acres in San Diego
County. These are only fair samples Of

The Shield of Agamemnon.

But why was this discovery (Dr.
Schiemann's) reserved for the latter
end of the nineteenth century, 1t is
made in the very nick of time. What is
it that all Europe is looking Tor? 1t is

Hellenic race, the man whom thousand

his personal qualities, and obeyed for

ments, rs we'll as the sword and other

TIE Canadians thoroughly appreciate
Lord Dutferin-probably because he is
expensive. He not only receives $50, 900
year, but has all the bills entailed by
his lavish hospitality paid out of the
public funds. His trip to the Lake Su-
perior regions in 1874 cost the Canadians
$13, l7S, and his recentJ Durney TO British
Columbia will foot up about $75 1000.
Last winter at the time when the fnan-
cial depression was bearing hardest on
the Canadians, he gave ball which cost
$4,000. There were few who thought
the public funds could have been better
expended, but large majority seemed
to rejoice at having an official who was
so willing to coin popularity at the ex-
pense of the people.
