The Northern Pacific.


n. 7. Tres f--+. ~
the opposition to the just request OF
the \ P for an extension Of the tin1e pre-
scribed insit5 Charter proceeds altogeth-
er from the joint efforts fthe Union and
Central companies. Virtually, the re-
quest of the Northern Pacific is, that it
shall be let alone. It does not ask for
the loan or the gift of 4 dollar; it does not
seek another acre; it asks only that time
shall be granted for the fulfllment Of an
undertaking which has more than GOO
miles in operation, and suffered, like 9TH
ers, from the collapse OF. 1878.

THE BRITIsEERS EXCITED.
ST. Paul, Jan. 25.-The English cabi-
net gave Parliament notice, yesterday,
that On Monday it will ask rate of war
supplies. Derby and Canavon. peace ad-
vocates, have placed their designations
IN the hands Of Beaconsfeld. England
is greatly excited, and the liberals have
already inaugurated peace meetings
throughout the country but it is not doubt
ed that warl1ke policy will prevail in
Parliament. The Porte has received the
RUSSIAN CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
One is the payment of a heavy war
indemnity and the occupation Of a por-
ton of the Turkish Territory including
port of Constantinople. The rumors are
conflicting regarding the 9th er terms but
all point to Russia's having succeeded in
agreeing with Austria which with Ger
many will give her majority in the
EuropeanIcongress to which the peace
terms must finally be submitted. The
Russian advance party beyond Adrianople
is said to have been recalled.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 26.

Washington Special, 10th, to Chicago Triouno.
There is . very bitter fight in the
house committee OH the Pacific rail
roads over the bill for an extension Of
time for the Northern Pacific. The
Central Pacific people seem, in . covert
way, to be using every possible infiu-
encs to defeat the bill. This opposi-
tion is said to originate in the fact
that proposition has been made by
the Central Pacific people to shrewd
political managers in Oregon and here
that If the Northern Pacific can bs de-
feated, the Central Pacific will build =
branch road north into Oregon. giving
that country all the facilities tb.t the
Northern Pacific could, and furnishing
guarantees Of equitable rates on freight
and fare. =
One Of the arguments js,- that the
Northern Pacific railroad stockholders
own three quarters of the stock along
the portage Of the Colnmbis river, and
it is not the purpose of the Northern
Pacific company to complete its road
for one generation At least to 4 point

THERE isquite an excitement in East
Tennessee over the reported discovery
of rich silver and gold deposits. A
returned California miner recently
visited the Wolf Greek gold region for
the purpose of ascertaining the value
of the late discoveries in that section.
AS a result of his observation he pro-
nounces the metal equal in value to
that of the Golden State, in cOnse-
quence Of which the land in that i'm
mediate vicinity has jumped in value
to astonishing figures. The Newport
Reporter says these lands contain
vast quantities of undeveloped gold
and preparations are being made to
work the mines. A rich silver mine
is also reported in the same neighbor-
hood and will be worked at once. A
tract of land lying at the headwaters
of Wolf creek, and belonging to Mr.,
Thomas Huff has been sold recently
for $4,000. The tract of land is said
to have been assessed at about $500.
There was tradition among the In
dians that rich silver mines existed in
what is now Jefferson and adjoining
counties many years ago. But the
people were always too busy digging
corn and potatoes and ginseng to- &C
deeper for the precious metals.

HELLER's WIFE.
Some Facts about the Magician, From

The Cincinnati Enquirer recently
published from its Washington cor
respondent statement that Heller,
the magician, had treated his wife
badly and that the latter had died of a
broken heart. Among the former ac-
quaintances of Heller-at the time
when he was at the hight of his sue

a stout, middle-aged gentleman, whose
house in the capitol Heller used to-
visit at the period mentioned. He
carried a portion of the Enquirer s
publication in his pocket.
II have no interest in Heller" he
said, other than to see him get justice,
as I'd want any man to have justice.
His wife is not dead with broken
heart, but she's living in Paris with
her three children, in comfortable cir
cumstances, provided for by Heller
himself, and with her two sisters, both
married to titled Frenchmen, former
members of the Legation at Washing

played supurbly, rode around to the
houses of his pupils on his own horses,

How the Great Inventor Made Love and

nance, illustrates the mans faculty
for going to the heart of things with
the smallest possible amount of cir
cumlocution When he was expert
menting, some years ago, with the Lit
tie automatic telegraph system, he
perfected contrivance for producing
perforations in paper by means of a
key board. Among the young women
whom he employed to manipulate
these machines, with view to testing
their capacity for speed, was rather

her work and never raised her eyes to

son stood observing her as she drove
down one key after another with her
plump fingers until growing nervous
under his prolonged stare, she dropped
her hands idly in her lap and looked
up belplessly into his face. A genial
smile, such as irreverent paragraphists
have referred to as " the Edison grin, y
overspread Edison's face, and he
presently inquired rather abruptly:

girl? Do you like me 2
