LIEUT.. RrADr. IN Los ANGELES.

The Express, of the lGta, commenting on Lieut. Philip Reade's lecture on the tele- phone, says:
 ssThe lecture was devoted almost entirely to an explanation and illustration of the In- tricate subjects of magnetism, electricity and their application in many ways, togeth- CT with the transmission of forces and the principles of acoustics. These gradually led to their utilization in the telephone, and he concluded his discourse by an ex- plantation of that wonderful little instru- ment. Lieutenant Reade is gifted with a very rare flow e language and powers of description and illustration, which com imand the highest admiration. Although he spoke extemporaneOusiy, and, as we be- lieve, without any special preparation, he employed throughout the choicest and most forcible language, aud was never at loss for She right word to explain his meaning. Abstruse principles, usually regarded as darker than the shades of Erebus, he held up to view so plainly that one could not help understanding them. HiSiilustrations of the de!iection ot the magnetic needle by the electric current, aad the theory of sound. were positively beautiful. After the con- clusion of his remarks Lieutenant Reade invited such of his auditors as desired to do so 10 remain and make personal inspec- tion of the telephone. 4 line extended from .J11ge Supelyedais chambers in the Court House to the Good Templar Hall, with instruments at both ends, served for this purpose. A good number of people in turn received aRd transmitted messages over this line.
 If Lieutenant Reade chooses to prepare lecture on this novel and expressing sub ject and make tour of the country, with tlie natural talent for the rostrnm which he possesses and the widespread interest with which the subject is regarded, we promise him fame snd fortune from the venture. He will draw crowded houses in the largest cities of the country

APPOINTMENT OF AN ASSIGNEE.

A meeting of the Creditors of the Messrs. Miller Bros, numbering thirty-three persons, whose claims aggregate Twenty-two thous- and five hundred and ninety-four dollars and seventy-six cents, was held this forenoon before c. B. Rush, Esq, Commissioner in Bankruptcy, for the purpose of electing an Assignee. After canvassing the subject as 10 whether it was best calculated to pro- mote the interests of ali concerned, to ap- point one or two Assignees, a vote was taken wherein, large majority of the Creditors declared that one was sufficient. Hon. T. J. Butler was then nominated as Assignee and elected by unanimous vote. We think the Creditors were fortunate in selecting Mir. Butler, as we have good reason to know that the duti ss of settling up the estate, which Is quite large, vill be filled to the letter. 0w- ing to the incomplete and mixed manner in which their assets are presented to the Credi- tors we are unable for the present, to state what they will aggregate. Below we give a list of each persons name and the amount claimed, thus far proven up. When all the claims are presented we think the liabilities will read about $40 000

A New Postal sni.

We print in our Washington intelligence the sext of the Postal Savings bill prepared by Mr. Phillips, of Ksinsas. and appsuved by a maiorify of the House Committee on Banking and Currency. t is believed by sanguine friends that this bill will pass the House by a nearly uiaanimous vote It makes every money orler post office deposi- tory for money in sums as small sss twenty five cents, the deposiier to receive pAssbook like those given by sa';ings banks When the deposits by enc p,.rsoa amount to ten dollars or any multipl. of ten dollars he $ entitled to receive bond for that amount to be entered in his psssbook as dsbIt to offset the same amount of credits These bonds are to range from ten dollars to one hundred dollars in even multiplies of ten mp to fifty The ratG of interest IS to be 5 65-100 per cent, that particular rate beng adopted for convenience Of calculation since the interest on a one hIindrel dollar bend will be exactly one cent per day. These bonds are to be exchapgeable at the pleasure of the holder for regular four per cent bonds of the government; but in this form the government is to take no special Superiniend- anee of them. But the holders of the 3 65-l0O bonds and of psssbooks in which sums are entered can draw money from the Post Office very much as depositors do from savings banks. Of cnurse the sums which are merely entered in the passbooks will bear DO interest. \ special form of legal tender Treasury notes is to be issued for redeeming the new bonds at the money order post offices.

X CHINESE HELL-A traveller thus de- scribes representation of the punishment of the wicked after death according to the Baddhist theory, which he witnessed in the suburbs of Canton: After walk about mile, We came to the Temple of Horrors. This is horrible place that is, the scenes are hideous. The intention is to represent what bad man would suffer after death. It Is composed of ten different groups of ssatE&ry, made of clay, ana many of them are crumbling to pieces. The first group represents the trial of the man; he is sur rounded by his family and friends, who are trying to defend him; the second, where he Is condemned and given over to the execu- tioner; in the third he is undergoinga semi transformation from the man to the brute; the fourth, where he is put into a mill, with his head downwards, and is being ground up; his dog is by the side of the mill lick ing up his blood. In the fifth scene he is being placed between two boards, and is be- ing sawed down le7gfhwise; sixth, he is under a large bell, winch is rung until the concussion kills him; seventh. the man is placed upon . table, and two men are padding or spanking him with large, wooden paddles: eighth. he is upon a rack, snd the executioners are tearing Lis flesh with red hot pineers; ninth, he Is in csui- dTon of boiling lead; the tenth scene repre- sents him upon aerid iron, undergoing the process of roasting. In all these his family are present; also large figures whorepresent the judge, sxecutioners, little devils. and various instruments of torture,

The time is fast approaching when Pres cotr wia be supplied entirely from the East ern cities, It only costs about one cent per pound to lay dowa all classes of graded merchandise from Boston or New York st the terminus of the Denver and Rio Grande K. F., which will bc completed 70 miles this side of Garland some time in June From that point our merchants can contract with freizhters from New Mexico to trans port supplies Co Prescott at tine nominal figure of four cents per pound, or, at a cost from the great cities of the East of five cents, just what 1t now costs to freight goods from the Colorado River, or saving of over one halt, and thus rid ourselves of the Southern Pacific humbug monopoly, who want all, and are not willing to con- cede anything Nails, of which tons are annually consumed in Prescott and vicinity, can be laid down iH this market at cost of $40 per ton--a saving over present prices of one hundred dollars per ton. or five cents per pound. The same can be said of all kinds of hardware, coal-oil. sugar, etc.
 Surplus capital lies dormant in the East, and live, energetic men are only too anx- ious to find d field, such as Prescott offers. wherein to invest and do business at fair . rate of interest on the capital invested; and should our business men conclude to close their eyes to the channel TOW about to be opened up, through which to receive cheap supplies, others will improve the golden opportunity, and the old pioneers will find themselves sapplanted by new class of people, anxious to do business at living and low margin on first cost and transpor- tafion. There Is now no reason why goods should not be sold equally as cheap. for cash, in Prescott, ss they are m rhe city of San Francisco. Once the ball is set in motion 10 ship goods by the way of Garland, it will be no difficult task to find every arti- cle needed by the people coming through thIs direct and natural channel.
 By patronisiBg the Denver and Rio Grande K. k. people, it will give them en- couragement to extend their line on into the heart of Arizona, where exists bound less quantities of silver and gold which will be picke1 up by the ir1n horse and carried away to tue East and there traded for clo- thing, boots, shoes, and all the Dccessaries of life. Our wool woHld find its way to Boston in the very shcrt time of one week, and each pound would realize the wool grower of AFizona at least 10 cents per pound more than what they now realize by sending it around through California, at a heavy expense, and subjecting themselves to having it cast in with bury California, and sustain loss which equals more than they now realize as profit. Groceries in large quantities will be brought in from New Mexico this coming summer by spec ulators, unless our business men make a move to cut outsiders oil, by purchasing in the cheapest markets snd freigiIting the same by the most natural, direct and cheap est route.

EXPLORING EXPEDITION TO ARIZONA.

The San Francisco Alta, paper that has always manifested lively interests in be- half of Arizona. says:
 The readers of the Alta need scarcely be reminded of the excitement created, last year by the astonishingly rich mining devel- opments of the Territory of Arizona. as there has been no abatement of interest in that section, because of the evidences, continu- ously and increasingly afforded, ofthe won derful value and extent of its mineral de- posits.
 Much remains to be discovered and in vestigated in this important field of enter prise, and it is with great satisfaction we learn that a very important Commission of Exploration will in few days, leave this city, prepared 10 thoroughly examine that portion of Arizona bordering on the neigh boring Mexican States of Sonora and Chi huahua for distance of about three hun dTed miles.
 The chief part in the direction and labors of this Commission will be borne by our friend, H. $. Jacobs, Esq, the widely known mining expert and engineer, to whom our selves and our readers are so much indebted for the varied information, scientific and otherwise, which he has from time 10 time afforded us, from his persoual observations during his travel and residence in Arizona. The qualifications of this gentleman for the leadership of such an expedition scarcely require comment OF endorsement from us. He will be accompanied iE this expedition by several high officials, in both military and civil service, as we'll as by the proper corps of assistants in the various depart ments of scientific examination, and mili- tary escort will be provided if it is deemed requisite. From an expedition soconstituted. we anticipate great results in the way of new discoveries and reliable scientific and statistical information, concerning the i'm portant but comparatively unexplored region, which will be traverSed.

We were informed yesterday that four men have como in from Inyo county, where they have been, for the last year, engaged in taking pelts from sheep that bad died and were abandoned by their owners. They say that it was very profitable business. as sheep died in great numbers, and their pelts sold at pretty fair price. We know ofone sheep-raiser that, out of about l3.0o0 sheep, has but little less than 5000 left him. II seems that in addition to the starvation from scarcity of grass last year, the sheep would take sort of trembling ft, and die in few moments.

Professor J. S. Newberry, of the C0lum- bia College, (New York. School of Mines, lectured in that city Feb 18th on inc diff ferent theories of evolution and tAe light shed upon the question bs geology, and in his remarks said:
 .In the Tertiary period, the vegetation was apparently more luxuriaBt and beau tiful than that of tbe present day, for tine grandest and most interesting of our forests, the great Sequoias of California, .he red- wood and the mammoth trees, our tulip trees. magnolias, sycamores and cypress, are the lingering remnants of the magnifi- cent forests which covered our continent even to the Arctic Sea. The Tertiary has besn well named the age of mammals. Brute force then ruled the world; for man, its present master, had not yet appeared on the stage. During the great ice period, the climate of Greenland was brought ss far south as New York. and broken sheets of ice held all nature in the embrace Of death for thousands of years Whole raceS of animals and plants perisaed. bur those forms that were driven far south survived. and ultimately moved northward with the ameiiOration of the climate, and were at s<nded by new element in the history of the world. primitive man. The theory that we are descended from apes is & spccula- ton indnsged in by 1oologssts, and based on anatomical reSemblsrces in the living animals. No ape-like man has been found fossil, nor any man-like ape. Remains of monkeys and of savage types of men have been found; but even the Neaaderthal skull was of the average capacity, and. as Hnx- ley says, might have contained the brain of philosopher. No geologist professes to have proved anything like a connecting link between man aud apes, and till such shall have been discovered, geology must be, as am tonight, silent on that subject.

Gen. Hatch, commanding the Department of New Mexico has issued orders directing the transfer of corEpanieS of nearly every post in that Territory. Tins seems fo us to be a good move. as troops kept at one post for three and four years at a time, without moving, are liable to become lethargical in nature and lose what little ambition they ever possessed. Moving them around in stills into t1eir nature new ideas and gives them fresh vigor and ambition, which is nec- essary for the health of body and mind.
