The vaults of the TreasurVs

Is John Sherman afraid? Does his con-
science trouble him not a little2 A Washing
ton dispatch to the Hartford Times says OF
John:
He says he has feared that an effort will be
made to raid the vaults Of the Treasury De-
partment before the summer Is over, though
no one else is and is very apprehensive for
his personal safety on and after August Is,
when the great national, Eastern, Western,
Northern and Southern every -man-for- him
self strike and uprising of the people is to
take place-at least SO the fortune-tellers
predict guilty conscience needs no accuser
Tor words to that effect; consequently Mr..
Sherman is preparing for what will happen.
He has had arms issued to the watchmen in
the treasury building, and, as an additional
safeguard, has had two Gatling guns put in
position to NOV down the coming Commun-
lists, as they attempt to enter the vault and
put in circulation that immense pile Of money
that Mr.. Sherman has boarded away In car
rying out his policy Of contraction.

In view of the great interest taken by the
public in statistics and information relative
20 the plague now scourging New Orleans,
Globe Democrat reporter went down very
early yesterday morning to the Anchor Line
Packet Company's wharfboat, at the foot OF
Walnut street, to meet the expected City OF
Alton due at 7 o. M, from New Orleans' .,r.o

asked his opinion as to the yellow, fever. at
New Orleans. The reply was to the effect
that citizens Of that city were not nearly 80
much exercised over the matter as people
were here; that the scare had been created by
the newspapers; that the City OF Alton had
not brought even as many passengers as on O.
regular trip; that there was no stampede Of
New Orleans men to Northern points In all
the boat brought up some seventy five pas
sengers. Some two or three passengers had
been landed at Memphis, and others at differ
emit way landings. The boat had not been
II uuarantined.
several Of the passengers questioned by the
reporter gave answers substantially bearing
out Capt. MasOn's remarks, stating, IN effect,
y that though there was yellow fever In view
4 Orleans, people there were not badly scared.
They denied In t5to ell idea OF having STAN"
paded TO escape the plague.
On the other hand, Louis Hannah, the bar
keeper of the boat, stated that IN Memphis
the scare was far greater than IN the Crescent
boat had arrived there st q. m. Friday. and
her officers were immediately informed that
no passengers could be landed, although but
three, o gentleman and two ladies', desired TIC
stop there. It was intimated to Capt Mason
that he had better not allow them to olsen II
bark, or any freight to be landed before the
meeting of the city council took place, at Il
o'clock. The captain demurred greatly t.
any further delay, having suffered in the
same way all the way up, and the passengers
were finally allowed to land at Hopetield and
cross the river on the ferry
In New Orleans Hannah had witnessed NJ
unusual degree OF excitement and nothing
like that OF former plague years. Business
progressed as usual, the same number Of citi
zens were observable on the streets, amuse
ments entered into with the keen relish fo
such things peculiar to the inhabitants Of this
city, and, 'scandidly speaking said he, "wer

TO THE PUBLIC
DEPARTMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS, ]
Room No. 16, City Hall,
New Orleans, July 27, 1878. J

AS it becomes necessary for the preservation
of the health of the city at this season OF the
year. that every possible effort should be made
towards keeping the public avenues, cutters
and alleys clean and free from all offensive
matter, hereby respectfully call upon the pub
lie to assist the authorities by complying with
the following requests, to wit:
l. Such residents as have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run sufficient
time to wash away rubbish filth, etc, and to
render the street cutters fresh and clean. This
step becomes necessary as many OF the cross
streets, or streets parallel with the river, are
without water plugs, and the difficulty hereto
fore experienced in flushing these cutters be-
ing mainly due to defective drainage and the
want of water.
2. Residents will please place, or instruct
their servants to place, the garbage in boxes In
! front of their dwellings before O'Clock g. m,
| prior to tho city carts making their rounds. &
strict adherence to this plan will remove, in a
! great measure the cause of the great number OF
complaints concerning the non-removai Of
garbage.
| therefore earnestly request all good citizens
| to aid the authorities in keeping the streets
and cutters clean and healthy, and In assisting
to remove any waste or offensive scattering
| promptly.
! If a proper spirit Is manifested by the public
| IN this respect the workings OF this department
will be greatly facilitated. and mucn OF tins
cause for complaint heretofore existing mate

A ~SaGacjous Horse.

Cats have gained considerable no.
toriety for the persistence that charac-
~terizes them in returning to their
homes when carried off any distance,
but we never heard of a horse display
ing this trait in any marked degree
until yesterday, when friend Smith
related to US an incident in which that
animal figured. The steed was raised
on a ranch near Danville district, and
was aiterward taken to a point 100
miles west of Winnemucca. He strayed
away the first time he was turned out,
and was not heard OF for two months.
when his owner learned that he was
back to his old home. Recovering
him. he kept him securely for two
years, but while prospecting for mica
in the Ruby mountains, the horse got
away again. His owner, after the lapse
of a month, wrote over to Danville,
and found that he was again at his
birthplace. On the first occasion he
travelled 800 miles, and on the second
250 miles, the last time crossing four
range of mountains to reach his early
grazing grounds. 1t is evident that
the animals memory was first class,
and his early associations so pleasant
as to induce him to return whenever
opportunity offered.

A Curious Case.

The case of Kelley, the man shot by
Tickle at Ruby Hill, is a curious one
1t is over a year since the ARRAY took
place, and although the man was pro-
nounced dead as soon as shot, and be-
fore a physician was sent for, he still
fingers and bids fair to prolong his
stay on earth for an indefinite time.
He was shot through the laryuX and
nsophaguS-these are two good words,
contributed for the occasion by DR..
Bishop-the bail dropping into the
lungs, where it has remained ever
since. Its exact locality can not be
determined, but to its presence is due
the irritation that has p~rotracted the
case and prevented keiley's recovery.
He has been an inmate of the County
Hospital for six months past, and has
developed a mighty craving tor SUM
ulants, lives almost entirely on whisky,
and makes fearful inroads on tie
County Physicians salary, the greater
proportion of that gentlenlan'S sill
pend being devoted to supplying his
PATIENTS appetite. Tickle, the de-,
fendant in the case. was arrested II
indicted for murder, but the trial has
been postponed from term to term,
until, a year having elapsed, the charge
was necessarily reduced to II OF as
sault with intent to kill, a new indlct-
ment to hat effect having been found.

A Social Club,

A number of our citizens are agitat'
ing the project of founding a private
club for their own especial amusement
and entertainment. The plan has been
discussed in all its bearings. and has
met with much favor among those in
terested. a move would have been
made some time ago had it not been for
the reason that suitable room for the
purpose We're difficult to procure. AS
soon as this obstacle is surmounted an
association will be formed and the
club established. The above is "a piece
dnews that will not receive the entire
sprobation of the ladies'. Clubs are
Weir especial abomination, and we
alng OF this little item in order that
Iney may prepare for all possible CON

ence to debar married men from mem

Injured by u Blast.

A miner, whose name our informant
failed to learn, met with a narrow es-
cape from death while working in a
tunnel in the Queen mine. He was
putting in a blast in the face of the
drift, and lighting the fuse, started to
leave. He had not gone but a few
steps before the blast exploded, the
f1ving fragments of rock striking him
with great force. One piece cut Il cash
in the back of his head, OF an extent
that necessitated surgical aid, and he
was injured in other portions OF the
body, although none of the rest OF his
wounds were very serious, A defect
i've fuse is supposed to be the cause OF
the premature explosion.

OUTSIDE

The Stock Report comments as fol-
lows: The public should remember
thai the Comstock ledge, although of
paramount importance as a factor in
consideration of Pacific coast mining
interest, does not occupy the position
which it once held. 1t has been and is
now a magnificent storehouse of min
eral. 1t yields millions of dollars and
furnishes labor and business, directly
and indirectly, for many hundred
thousand people. We would not be-
little its importance under any cir.
cumstances, even if we had the power
necessary to accomplish such a pur
pose. We leave such work to some of
our malicious contemporaries. But as
before remarked, the position OF the
Comstock has been changed-changed
in its relations to the public. Once it
was all in all to mining operators. The
OK expression vas current, "there is moth
ing off the Comstock." Now
we have mines in a dozen diff
ferent districts which are rivaling
the shining lights of the Comstock.
SotilSI'ch has bob Sio"h ShidiieI,
but the outside districts have grown
larger. 1t is what some would call a
case of disproportionate growth. Ia
the Eureka District the famous Eureka
Consolidated, the Richmond (owned in
England), the Hamburg, the Phenix
and other properties ars coming to the
front with new and important develop
ments which absolutely nsu the
permanent prosperity of the district.
Phoebe District, Ward District, Tusca-
rora, and a number of luinor districts
in Nevada are making steady progress
i'll the great work of development. The
fact is that the outside districts bid fair
to eclipse the Storey county mines in
the near future.
