No MATERIAL REDUCTION INTHE
TARIFF On IRON.

Ii comes from Washington in an AL
thoritative from that the Committee on
Ways and Means of tho House have
agreed 10 make no material change in
the present tariff on iron, in their re-
port TO Congress. A committee of gen.
tlemen largely interested in iron have.
from. time to time, been in close and
confidential consultation with Mr.
WOODS Committee, and they announce
themselves as being we'll satisfied with
the bill as 1t how stands. They consider
that they have gained I'D important vic
tory for the iron interest; for if the
WOOD bill shall now become a law,
as is probable, iron will be
pretty well cared for. For instance, on
bar iron the committee will recommend
a reduction from the present tariff of
only onc-eisht of a cent per pound. And
on slab, bloom, aud all descriptions OF
rolled and hammered iron, mill iron, an
wills, chains, hammers, nuts, washers,
hinges, nails and spikes, wagon hardware,
shsltlng, &c, only slight reduction
will be made from existing rates. 1t
will not be serious enough to materially
affect the iron industry of the country.
A hard fight was made in behalf
of pig and scrap iron, the man.
ufacturers arguing in favor of
the retention Of the pres
ent duty on both, but the
committee seems determined TO make
reduction in the tariff on them, and was
not disposed to yield TO the pressure.
Therefore, as far as pig and scrap iron
Is concerned, nothing definite is known,
the committee not having decided upon
the extent of the reduction 1t will recon-
mend. On the whole the manufacturers
consider that they got along much better
than they expected to, and that they
have secured very satisfactory schedule
of duties. The great point they gained,
and upon which they congratulate them
selves, was in inducing the committee to
abandon al raiorem for specific rates
We are glad to find this state
ment corroborated in the Pittsburgh
papers whose editors have been watching
this matter most closely. 1t is stated
that it is now doubtful whether any
further opposition will be made from the
man afscturing districts Of Pennsylvania
TO the passage of the bill.
We are grstiied at being able to record
this fact, as the bill contains some most
excellent festures-some Important re-
forms, which we have, on former occs-
'ions, pointed out.

That dreams are often fulfilled in a
remarkable manner is exemplified IN a
case that has just come to our knowl-
edge. A young man who occupies a
responsible position in a Main street
store, no long since found his cash ac-
count short just $40. AS he is careful,
ana prides himself IN his accuracy.
u circumstance troubled him, and
his mind dwelt on the occurrence fire.
quentiy. The other night he retired,
and probably thought of the affair be
fore sleeping, for he had a dream, clear
and distinct. that the lost money was
under his desk in the office. In the
morning his dream came wildly TO
him, and upon going to the store he
secured the aid of another man, re.
moved the desk, and 10! there was the
long lost coin-or twenty five cents of
it. He feels quite encouraged, and
thinks that if such dreams occur fire.
qu-ntly enough he will eventually re-
cover the whole sum missing.

Coal Development.

There was quite an excitement at
Palisade Sunday last, especially among
the shareholders of the Palisade Coal
Company, consequent on a develop
meut made in the tunnel that is being
driven to interssct the vein. A
three feet in width was struck In the
face, and gives evidence of perma-
hence. A sample was brought into
the town, and an experiment demon.
strated that it differed from what has
hitherto been met with, in the fact that
it burned to a clear white ash, and pos
>essed considerable heating qualities.
The coal or shale extracted from the
shaft, while blazing fiercely when
lighted, left as much bulk after as be-
tore combustion, and "a simply rock
~impregnated with mineral oils. The
discovery is a very encouraging one,
and the stock was in quite a demand,
offers of 30 cents per share being made
and refused. We hope the owners will
find themselves i'll possession of a
black diamond bonanza, ~equaling a
Pennsylvania deposit.

NOta Profitable Customer.

The firm of Il. Sadler & Co. have, for
the pasttwo years, enjoyed the patron
age of one C. w. Johnson, a resident
of Newark Valley. His trade, com
bined with the orders confided to him
10y his neighbors, amounted to consid-
cradle, and the nan has had free &C.
cess to all parts of the store. Some
two weeks ago Mr.. Sadler received an
anonymous letter from san Francisco,
stating that johnson was a thief, and
had plundered the firm of a large
amount of goods. An investigation
proved the correctness of the charge.
and revealed the fact that his stealings
would aggregate between $1,000 and
$1,000. His plan had been 10 pretend
drunkenness, retire to the store-room
in the rear of the premises, and then,
watching his opportunity, seize a key
of nails, 4 cheese, case OF oil, or any
thing else within reach, and carry it
out through the back passage way to
his team. Again, after his orders were
made up, he would take whatever lay
nearest, a chest of tea or some other
portable article Of merchandise, and
load il into the wagon. AS his visits
to town were frequent, his. pilferings
aggregate a large amount. A warrant
for his arrest was sworn out, and Sher-
if Ed. Raum, of White Pine county.
went out TO his ranch last Saturday for
the purpose of serving it. By some
means Johnson had got wind of the in
tention and had decsmped. Yesterday
all OF his cattle and personal posses
sions were attached. the Sheriff max
ing another trip to the locality for that
purpose. There is enough property
owned by him to partially reimburse
the firm for their losses.

Was He crazy?

After the west bound passengertrain
on the Central Pacific Railroad left
Palisade, on Sunday morning last, the
strange actions of II of the passen-
gers attracted attention. He sat NUT
tering for some time, and finally broke
forth into a loud and incoherent har-
rangue, dashed his hand through a pane
of glass, and, springing from his seat,
rushed to the rear Of the train and
jumped to the ground. He could not
have been hurt, rs he took to the hills
and disappeared from view, after the
cars were brought to a halt. Who or
what he was-whether he was crazy or
drunk-can only be surmised; but
both the conductor and passengers are
positive that he got on at Palisade,
and probably came from Eureka on
the morning train. He has not been
heard from since, and may have per-
ished in his wanderings in the wilder
ness.

The Closing Night.

The hall Sunday evening was crowd
ed by an enthusiastic and delighted
audience up till the time that the per-
Torrance commenced. A full house
on the holy Sabbath evening is an un-
usual occurrence in Eureka, the relig-
ious tendencies of our staid inhabit-
ants generally asserting themselves to
a degree that rewards travelling desc
orators of the day with empty benches.
The unusual turnout on the night in
question can only be accounted for by
the SLY whispers and rulnors, to use
the vulgar descriptive ex Expression, that
the plump blondes would turn them
selves loose; hat the entertainment
would be red-hot, a report that was not
denied by the manager. He was a
shrewd fellow, and az it was the last
night, when questioned on the subject,
his only answer was a meaning wink
that spoke volumes. What there
should be in the announcement to
cause such a rush OF married men to
the house, is beyond our comprehen-
sion, but they were there in full force,
and as one OF them expressed it, it was
their right. They occupied the re-
Sci GU SCdtSt al tbCi VIII OPCin S4hoSSof
and sat licking their chops. and indulg-
ing their i~maginations in lewd and las
civious pictures of the treat to come.
The curtain rose. the performance went
on, the troupe were at their best, and
sung and danced with all the liveliness
and ~piquancy that had characterized
them heretofore; but, alas! not an IN
delicate word or action bordering on
Immodesty was INDUCED in. 1t was a
cruel disappointment to the expectant
throng, and they have lost all conf
dence in rumors and surmises. 1t is
well for the company that they left
town or the mornings train, for
another night, and those present Sab
bath evening would have withdrawn
their patronage, and left the fair ones
to play to an empty house. Twas
ever thus from childhood's hour, we've
seen our fondest hopes decay"
