 When the rehearsals of the play of sled Astraya began, it was understood that by the time the Association could get ready to put it on the stage, such improvements as are required would be made to the City Hall. but subsequently, MT.

RAILROAD BUILDING IN NEW MExIco.- The Cimarron Nerrs and Press reports that railroad work in the Raton pass, to the north, goes on apace. The Atchison, Tope- ka and Santa Fe company is evidently in earnest. A large party is at work in the mountains, and another will soon commence operations on the line further south, toward Cimarron. It is confidently expected tha. the road will be in running order on the New Mexico siue of the Ratons by next Winter. The Denver and Rio Grande peo- pie. who nave engaged to lead the broad gauge through New Mexico, have not yet commenced building operations, but are mak- ing stir over preparatory movements, and have the advantage being able to traverse ihe mountains with narrow gauge construc- tion, much more rapidly than their compe- titors. The Ners and Press expects to have the iron horse in Cimarron soon.

From all we can learn, Arizona IS des- tined to become one of the best mining regions on this coast. New mines are being discovered daily; the old ones are being developed in way to prove that they are of vast richness. As a necessary consequence, population will flow in, thus opening a wide field fer trade. Why cannot Los Angeles command her share of this trade! Nothing but the indifference of our citizens. We might just as we'll as not supply this trade with bacon, lard cheese, canned and dried fruit, brooms, soap, fruit trees, and many other articles. Enterprising merchants viii make our city and section thrifty and prosperous. To say the least, the prize is worthy the effort, and we ought to make It. Our merchants should not rest content with the simple retail trade which they derive from the county; but should strike out for a larger field in which to operate. Will they not do it.-[Lo Angeles Star.

Tn. Metric system.

Alexander H. Stephens has introduced into the House of Representatives in Congress a bill proposing the adoption of the Metric System, with the following tables:
 100 pairs make nail; 100 nails make a metre; 100 metres make a kile.
 l0,o00square metres make great acre. 100 drops make spoon; 100 spoons make a quart; 100 quarts make cask.
 100 seeds make corn; 100 corns make a nut; 100 nuts make bi-pound or bip; 1,00o bips make a ton. The purpose of Mir. Stephens is to assist the American memory by the use of familiar terms. The New York World thinks this object can be better accomplished by the adoption of the following:
 10 hunks make gob: 10 gobs make l chunk for de<agob); 10chuuks make heap. 10 steps make hopskipanjump; 10 hop skipanjumps make piece; 10 pieces make right smart go-by.
 10 swallows make one drink; 10 drinks make sprees 10 sprees make triangle tor jims). i 10 nibbles make l bite; 10 bites make ], square meal.

FINANCIAL,

The banks on Madison street were enable
to name any change in the situation and are
supplying very moderate demand for money
at low rates. Exchange was in poor supply
and was quoted par buying and Il pre-
MUM selling on New York; New Orleans
buying at u dIscount, and selling &C par.
The country at large recognizes approaching
resumption Of specic payment as fixed fact,
especially since lie syndicate called for bonds
they were lot under engagement to take
until next september. They have now taken
thirty ive million of the fifty million they
Undertook to provide, and the readiness with
which the money has been supplied shows
now plentiful it is. The ST. Louis RepuJH-
can, OF Tuesday, says: Yesterday witnessed
a further shrinkags in the volume of bust
ness, and the situation of affairs reported by
the banks was more irregular than on any
other day for some time past. No particular
activity Is looked for now until the harvest
season stimulates the market. The demand
for money to handle the crops and afterward
to move them to market ordinarily enlivens
things during June, and there is nothing
more than that now TO create any great in
quiry for money, until the fall season." In
our local stock market there was an auction
sale of thirty shares of fernando insurance
