ARRIVED FROM THE EAsT.-A distinguished
stranger put in an appearance on Carson
street with the intention of remaining among
us permanently He is from New York We
found him standing in front of Jakey Tobri-
ner's store in the Arlington Block, resplen-
dent in paint and gilt and belt and feathers,
armed cap-a-pie with 'FTomahaw and scalping
knife to make folks heads look queer" He
looks more like Fenimore Cooper Injun than
a Piute, wears different style Of cloak than
Captain Jim, but altogether is better looking
than Jakey. He is a brave of metal, with
hollow inside, he doesn't speak English, but
means to say that Trobiner still keeps the
finest brands of tobacco and segars.

A GooD many even of those good Demo-
Gratis who cry out for a fair count, which
means for them the election Of Tilden, shrink
from the man as a very doubtful experiment,
while all the Republicans, without excep-
ticn. rest upon the character of Rutherford
B Hayes as the best guarantee OF safe and
strong administration. His last message as
Governor Of Ohio increases this confidence,
from its modesty, candor and sound
sense. On the subject of municipal indebt-
edness, the crying evil of the times, we copy
the following suggestion, which has value
beyond the limits Of Ohio. Governor Hayes
SAYS Il submit that to the subject of local
Indebtedness the General Assembly should
apply the principles of the State constitu-
ton on the subject Of State Indebtedness.
Let judicious limitation Of the
rate Of taxation which local authorities NAV
levy be strictly adhered to, and allow no
further Indebtedness to be authorized except
III conformity with these principles, and we
may, believe. confidently expect that with
in a few years the burdens Of debt now rest
ing upon the cities and towns Of the State
will disappear, and that other wholesome
and N ueh-needed reforms in the administra-
tiun of our municipal government will Of
necessity follow the adoption Of what may
be called the cash system in local affairs"

The folly and wrong of duelling have
fresh illustration in the Bennett-May duel ;
AID if the facts are as reported, the folly and
wrong would seem to be greatest on the part
Of young May. Even from the lowest and
mCst worldly point of view, he acted like
hot-headed fool. lie chose to take into. his
bands the aTenging Of d real or fancied
sllgot upon his sister by cowhiding her late
lover 1t was not very difficult thing FOL
him to do, for he was much the larger and
stronger man Of the two. But in so doing
he carried his sisters name and the embar-
RAISING circumstances Of her broken engage
mint and disappointed matrimonial expecta-
tons into the discussions in every club room
aid reading room and bar room in the coun-
try, and gave her a notoriety, from which
she must shrink with the strongest aversion.
Having committed this folly be next puts
himself up to be shet at by Mr.. Bennett.
with the possible alternative Of either taking
the life Of his sisters betrothed Of week
ago, or of carrying fresh sorrow to that SIS
ter and all his family and friends by losing
his own life. Could there be greater folly ?
For BENEFITS conduct, subsequent to the
horsewhipping, there seems to be more pos
sible palliation. Many man under such
circumstances would be so maddened by the
disgrace put upon him, as hardly to be
morally responsible.

A CArasTRoPHE like that Of Ashtabula, Of
course, bring up the question OF stone or
wood vs.. iron, Tor railroad bridges, especial
ly in q cold climate. Experiments do not
show that gnod wrought iron is weakened by
frost, in its power to sustain a strain but
there is a wide impression that it becomes
more brittle under intense cold and unable to
sustain blow. There is, Of course, the
danger Of great strain arising from he con-
traction Of the iroI by cold. Unless this is
provided against, there is Of course danger
in the use Of iron. 1t is fact that 90 or 20
iron bridges on the Grand Trunk railroad
have stood the test Of 20 Canadian winters
successfully. The fridge at Ashtabula was
an iron truss, built l. years ago 1t is said
that it was the first Of the sort ever ceu.
structed by the company, and that it hs,
never been duplicated that the plan vas
adopted agains. the protest Of the Chief-Eu.
qineer Of the Lake Shore road, Mr.. Collins
who is an earnest advocate Of aTehed stone
bridges, because, he says,the sudden and ex
cessive changes Of emIerature of our clims tc
must always be enemies to iron bridge
whereas stone is unaffected. He, conse
qusntiy, always puts in stone bridges when
be can procure the company's consent to the
extra expense. OF course, good stone arches
are the SAFES: of all but we feel safer on
a good wooden bridge, than on 40 iron one
