How THEY CARRIED THE SACRED
TIMBERs.-The priests who built the old
San Diego Mission in 1869 or tkerssbouts
had to go a long distance inland Tor the
roof timSers to support tae heavy tiles
made Of adobe. From the old woman
now living at Josefa Peters, near San
Lois Rey, and whom we believe to be at
least l24 years ofage, Mr.. W. b. Couts
learned that the tim bers for the Mission
came from Smiths Mountain, at least
sixty miles inland from this city. The
old lady says that after the timbers Lad
all been nicely hewsd and prepared, and
blessed by the priests on the mountain,
on a certain day vast number of the
stoutest Indians were collected and sta
toned in relays Of about mile apart,
all the way from the summit of the noun
tain to the foundation of the Mission
buildings in the valley near this city.
At given signal the timbers were sprin-
killed. by the assembled priests on the
mountain, and were hosted on the should
ers of the Indians, and were thus carried
10 the frs: relays ana changed to their
shoulders, and SO on all the way to San
Diego, without touching the ground
from the time of starting till it arrived at
IFS final destination in the church. As
there are an immense number OF these
timbers, it shows the zeal and devotion of
the Indians at that date, and their sbed-
fence TO the reverend Fathers

son River Railroad, who runs loeomo-
motive between this city and Now York.
has introduced new feature by placing
looking glasses outside on tho engine, at
nm angle from tho cab. These enable
him to SEQ the rear part of the train at all
times without putting his head out TO
watch for the conductors signal when
making up trains. The custom of using
such glasses in private residences has
been in vogue for some time. Two glass

ranged that person sitting in a room
can watch ali passersby from either di.

calls and rings the door bell while ma

said Mr.. Blsine in concluding recent

fraction of cent on the dollar. No man

party to debsse our paper currency and
drive gold and silver first out of eireuls

us only to use an irredeemabl paper

been carried in other countries, never
without dishOnor and disaster, and it is
prepo.terOus for this country, in time of
profound peace, 10 discuss measures
looking to the permanent expulsion Of
coin from the country, and thence to the
lasting and hopeless debasement of our
paper currency, and the consequent des-
truction of stability in eur business. The

show themselves to be very brilliant

Kin, overheard, in the struggle for the
Presidency. The anomaly OF a msierity
suffering itself to be swallowed by a mi
nority was on this occasion witnessed BY
the Convention. The mountain went to
Mahomet, instead of Mahomet going to
the mountain. The less included the
greater, in defiance of mathematics. The
forty nine votes of the Kearney ties could
not effect anything better than the aban-
donnlent of their own candidate, and tbs
acceptance of candidate who had repu-.
dated them, and who would net make
any concession to gain their support.
When the Sand Lot managers hear of
this act Of fcklensss and hr IN lila tien, We
fear they will be inclined to rebuke their
delegation, and to insist that they should
have stood to their colors instead of de-
serling and going over in body to the

RECREATIoN.-Mar< Hopkins died Of
overwork. Much as we esteem the mem

compelled to ask the question, Had he
any right to work himself to death?"
lie was prince among men, great
public benetactor, and his death is n loss
to the human race. In one sense it was
an event which robbed the people. Mr..
Hopkins was only 81 years of age at the
time of his death, and with proper care
his life could have been preserved to his
fellow men for at least ten years longer.
Had he studied the science Of recreation
he would have lived much longer. The
necessities of the American people call
loudly for thorough reform in the
matter Of work. We are constantly los
ing our best men just at the period in their
lives when they are most useful. We

REoPENIsG OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
CONTEST. - The Chicago 15ibuns's
special says: There lie much talk oyer
Blair's resolution adopted by the Mary
land Legislature. A number of excel
lent lawyers here hold that the Supreme
Court has no jurisdiction, and this will be
the first question argued, if the Court ever
reaches it. There will be q move to ad-
vance the case on the docket Immediately
after it is filed, but it is not expected that
this will be granted, and it may be pro-
vided for in bill which has been pre-
pared, covering the question Of jurisdlc-
ton, and providing for speedy trial.
Many Democrats will oppose any bill
tending to disturb the country as this
would. Montgomery Blair, in an inter-
view, expresses confidence that Tilden
will be seated in the White House in six-
ty days. He says from conversation to-
day with Representatives he is confident
that his bill will pass by more than a two
thirds vote. A bill has been drafted by
David Dudley Field. 1t will provide for
jury to decide issues Of fact, the jury to
be drawn from Judges of the United
States Courts throughout the country.
Blair lays great importance upon the fact
that in the law creating the Electoral
Commission there was = provision that
either party might take an appeal from
the final result. He says in view of this
fact no Democrat can decline to vote To
take the appeal.
