THE wharf at Santa Monica has
come successfully through a re-

has lived twenty-seven years in

that the "blowu at Santa Monica,

his recollection. He has seen, for

but it only lasted minutes where
this lasted hours. The wharf

its fastening in the bed of old

bay, harbor or roadstead Of Santa
Monica is only vulnerable to winds
from the southwest and south
east. The fact that the wharf has
survived such crucial test, In such
capital trim, when the vauntc

SCOTT AND STANFORD.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 14th.-Last
Fall Commissioners were sent by
Secretary Schurz to examine the
section OF the Southern Pacific
Railroad to Yuma south of Cotton,
prior to the acceptance Of the same
by the Government, when the land
grant of alternate sections Is to be
patented to the road. The report of
the Commission, which is under
stood to be highly favorable to the
character of the road and its
equipment, has been ready nearly
six weeks, and q decision upon it
| by the Secretary has been unex-
pectsdly delayed by protest from
the Texas Pacific Company that
another road ether than the South
ern Pacific crosses the limo some
1900 feet from the Colorado river,
and that the Southern Pacific has
no right to the land grant beyond
the point of junction. Under the
terms of the grant the Southern
Pacific is given land grant
for the construction of q road to
the Texas Pacific Railroad, at some
point at or near the Colorado river.
AS tho Texas Pacific only exists on
an incomplete survey of its line,
Engineer Grey, of the Southern
Pacific, built his road to the most
convenient place for crossing the
, Colorado river, rem his bridge
, across the usual ford, and claim:
the construction of a road and the
right Of the grant annexed thereto
to the middle OF the stream. Or
, Saturday Governor Brown, as Woe
President of the Texas Pacific, ad
dressed a letter to the Secretary o
the Interior, claiming that thu
: Southern Pacific crossed the pro
jected line of his line 1000 feet fren
the rivers edge, and accompanies
his letter with maps showing tn
3 lines of the respective roads as sur
!. veyed by his company. The de
cision of the Secretary of the Int
rior will not be given till an an
swer is received from the Souther
d Pacific. The question is of i'm
# portance principally because 1t dc
n cides whether the Southern Pacifi
shall get the land grant to the Co
!, orado river, where the grant is va
n liable.

No Use Fighting Against Fate.

(From the Detroit Free PreSs.)
A boy, about thirteen years old,
was Saturday forenoon dragging q
big, snsakish-looking cur along
High street to find an owner for
tho canine. Ringing q door. bell he
said to the housemaid who an
swered it,:
"I've brought your dog home"
"My dog?n she exclaimed, as she
looked down upon the embar-
raised dog.
"Yss; gimme two shillings and
I'll tie him up In the back yard"
"I'll give you demonstrating il
you don't leave!" she screamed as
she grabbed for him.
He dragged the dog across the
street to where a girl was scrub
bling the front steps, and, bringing
smile to his face, he said:
"Your feller in Chicago sent you
this dog by express to put in your
Christmas stocking. Tho charges
are fifty cents. Where shall tie
him up?n
"Glt out with ye-I'm no green
hornW she said as she raised the
brush to strike him.
The boy pulled on the rope with
both hands and got the reluctant
dog half a block further, when he
met a boy carrying home ton
pounds Of buckwheat flour. He
blocked the way aud said:

the boy.
"Pll trade him for knife"

"Any old skates?"

the -Four, as he lodged around tho
dog and hurried on.
The other looked down on the
canine with mingled sad ness aud
indignation. The dog braced back
at an acute angle, his eyes shut
and his tail lying on the walk,
waiting for the boy to say:
"Oh, h-h! If L knew how to

Not Dying-SimpIy Drunk.
pail Mall Gazette.)

Mistakes as to "drunk or dy ing"
although far too common with the
police, are not confined to that
body, and the Bangalore, British
India, Spectator gives an account
Of one that occurred during tho
cholera epidemic that lately visited
Bangalore. A gentleman holding
q high official position in that
city was one morning informed
that his housekeeper had been
seized with the dreaded disease.
He at once sent post-hasts for the
doctor, who on his arrival found
the patient in state Of coma, and
pronounced the case to be desper-
ate. Disinfsctants were profuseIy
sprinklsd throughout the house,
and every precaution which sol
ence could suggest was taken to
prevent the spread of the disease to
the other inmates of the dwelling.
The unfortunate man was himself
removed to Bowdon Hospital, whore
the usual remedies were applied
without producing any favorable
eject, for the patient still rem aimed
inssnsible. At last, his situation
appearing hopeless, it was thought
better and more humane to let him
alone, and desist from further at
tempts to rskindle the faint spark
Of life that was rapidly dwindling.
Late in the night, however, to the
surprise OF tho hospital attendants,
the patient suddenly recovered con-
scisusness, and in strong voice and
language demanded to know
where he was" He was inform ed |
hat he had been ill with cholera
Ind was now In hospital, and was
mplored to remain perfectly quiet

,cvsry. all with cbolerav he
'houted Indignantly, II have only

nation Of the doctor and his en-
oloyer, who had given him up for
ost, this statement turned out to
20 perfectly true.
