The BED OF THE COLORADO RIVER
The surveyors of the Texas Pacific Rail-
road Company, a couple Of years ago,
made careful examination of the bed of
the Colorado River between the Heads,
over which they located their line. They
pushed down steel rods to depth of ~
feet before striking rock. This sounding
seemed to indicate deposit of sediment
over GO feet deep. The piles forming
the piers of the Southern Pacific Rail.
road bridge here were driven down few
more than &c feet before striking what
was taken to be bed rock. An immense
quantity of rock has since been dumped
around these piers, and has sunk down
out OF sight. 1t certainly appears that
what must have been taken for bottom"
must have been an endurated or cement.
ed layer of sand, like those found in ex-
cavating the mesa at this end of the
bridge. Driving piles into this layer
must have broken it up, thus letting the
rock drop down into. Lord only knows
what depth of mud and quicksand. But
the stone train kept on bringing rock,
and the bridge seems to be as solid as
ever,-[ Yuma Sentinel, November 10th.
ANOTHER GEORGE WASHINGTON. Mon
signor Asinari, q distinguished Roman
Catholic prelate, who was at one time
Papal Nuncio at Brussels, has recently
died at Rome. He was man of wonder
fully lovely character, and of extraordin-
ary truthfulness and uprightness, Of
which qualities the Fanfulla gives the
following instance: On his way back to
Rome after he had fulfilled his mission
in Brussels, his carriage was stopped by
brigands near Viterbo. After they had
pretty thoroughly rifed the persons OF
the prelate and his attendents, the chief
asked him if he had any thing more.

his servant, "did you give him the
money that you had hidden?" abiding to
the $4,000 in gold which had been con.
cealed in the bottom of a trunk, amid a
lot of linen. The worthy man consider.
ed it a crime to lie, even to brigand.

WELCOME.

The citizens of st. Paul extend a cordial
welcome to their Milwaukee friends. The
capital of the greatest wheat State in the
country feels more than an ordinary bond of
attachment for the city which is the greatest
primary wheat market in the world. The
ties which bind Milwaukee and st. Paul to-
gether are indissoluble, and more intimate
acquaintance between the residents of the
two cities is greatlyto be desired st. Paul ac-
cordingly welcomes her guests, not as stran-
gers, merely sightseeing for day, but
as part of our commercial system and
permanently and directly interested in
this land which flows with wheat and
flour. The interchange of greeting, the re-
newal of old and the formation of new &C.
quaiutances, is happy omen of commercial
fraternity, and, sitting at the gateway of the
land of plenty, St. Paul welcomes thrice
welcomes-the enterprising men whose city
had the pluck and foresight to give Mime
sofa her first direct outlet to the markets of
the world. Milwaukee enterprise has added
millions to the wealth of Minnesota, and we
send greeting to our sister city the glad It'd
ings that we reciprocate in 1875 with
''millions in it, for her granaries and ele-

ENGLISH GRAIN TRADE.

The Growing Crop Seriously Damaged by
Continued Wet Weather-But Exceeding
~ Heavy Arrivals from America, and
the Flattering Prospects for Peace, Oper-
ates to Lower the Price.
LONDON, June 18.-The Mark Lane Erpress
says: Standing crops are all suffering from
con tinued wet and cold It is admitted ON
all hands that the excessive humidity Of the
past SIX weeks has seriously compromised agri
cultural prospects. Until within the last few
days growing crops in Scotland did not suffer
to the same extent as in England. Now, how
ever, matters have changed for the worse.
Floods have occurred in many of the low
land districts, doing vast damage.
Deprived by the holidays of the principal
market day, the London corn trade has been
very quiet. Transactions mainly retail, Any
elements of strength which, under ordinary
circumstances would have been apparent. have
been totally eliminated from trade by the ex-
ceedlngy heavy arrivals from abroad. and
values have consequently evinced declining
tendency. Indeed all classes of foreign wheat
have only been saleable at redut ton of fully
shilling on a fortnight. nor has the conces-
sion attracted any improvement in demand, as
buyers DO not appear to think the lowest point
Is yet touched, and consequently have abstained
from purchasing excepting such quantities as
immediate needs dictated.
The necessity of rapidly clearing grain laden
ships in port has, therefore, caused most of the
corn to be put in grainaries, which are rapidly
hlllng up. The augmentation of stocks will
probably be considerable. as enormous ship
ments OF wheat and maize from America are
flooding the market just at time when BUYERS
seem least disposed to operate.
Political influences having ceased to affect
trade, an idea as to the future course of prices
nusC De Aooiea Tor IN the legitimate action of
supply and demand. and although at the mo-
ment great depression prevails. and values may
possibly recede yet further increased activity
and healthier trade, no doubt at low rate Of
values, may be confdentially expected when
the bulk of American shipments is received
and peace settled. The floating cargo trade for
wheat has been dull at about shilling decline.
Maize has given way fully six pence Barley
fairly steady.

You stole the mule for us and then
We wouldn't let you ride.

And Hayes is lying low,

BURCHARD. II. G.

Next to Stanley Matthews the most unpop-
ular man in the Republican party to-day is
Representative Burchard, of Illinois. He
seems to have developed genius for blum
dering, and as his latest blunder not only
affects himself but the entire party, he is
receiving the most vigorous abuse on all
hands. 1t was he who, designing in his sim
plicity to entrap the Democratic party into
denial of the validity of Hayes title to the
Presidential office, struck the Republicans a
blow between wind and water that knocked
them into the middle of next summer. At
ter long and labored incubation his scheme
was Matched. so to speak, in the privacy of
bis own chamber. In his minds eye he saw
the Democrats in the House rallying as one
man in opposition to the declaration that the
electoral commission had settled the title of
the fraudulent President. He saw, also, the
people of the entire country arising in their
might to put down the incipient rebellion,
and grateful nation browning him with
laurel as the genius who conceived the plan
by which the purposes of the traitors were
revealed in all their iniquity to the indignant
gaze of a horror-struck world. He would
prove equal to the emergency; he would
strangle the viper of revolution at its birth.
By brilliant coup he would save his coun-
try and his party from impending ruin, and
merit the gratitude not only of this but of
all future generations, and be named in his
tory as one who, by his astuteness could
justly be called tho second Savior of his
country. The scheme was daring one, and
as he had conceived it, he deserved all the
credit of it's success. He consulted no one,
and just at the nick of time he fired his
bomb into the Democratic camp. The
effect, however, did not realize his expecta-
tons. Instead of opposing his resolution
the Democrats applauded its introduction,
and promptly passed it. Burchard was
non-plussed. Gin fact, it may be remarked
that he was astonished. Indeed, it might be
said that he was amazed" as Mr.. Cato Dove
would remark. He felt, we presume, as Bret
Harte's hero of the town meeting, who
-''Raised point of order, when
chunk of hard red sandstone took him in
the abdomen;
He smiled kind Of sickly SMILE and curled
up on the hoor
And subsequent proceedings int rested him
no more.'
Ever since this unfortunate ta,lr pas MI.
Burchard has been an object deserving of
ccnaIniseration- Cursed by the Republicans
for destroying their only political capital,
laughed at by the Democrats as prize
damphool, he is indeed to be pitied. But
he shouldn't be discouraged by his ill-suc
cess. 1t isn't often that man attains great
ness at single stroke. Distinction is the
fruit of continued effort, and Burchard
should persevere. He may make blunders;
indeed, we are safe in saying that he
aolW make blunders, and if he doesn't
kill his party before he effects his object,
he will no doubt rise to eminence in its
councils

Sherman has no right to know that any such
contingency is possible; still less has he any
right to parade himself as the champion Of
either side in any quarrel among the peopler'
Gen. Sherman's fault is indiscretion. He
simply gives his partners away by putting
