The Yellow Rose.

There is a faithful old house SER
want named Rose down in the lower
part of the city. He is pretty well
up in the sixties and many years ago
was private attendant Of several
prominent celebrities about Washing
ton City, among them the Hon. VIM.
q. Rive. Rose is quite a character in
his way, and he is a regular attendant
every evening at the meetings of the
EthiOps, he being the patriarch
member Of that august coterie. The
old mar had one of the highest tus-
sells with Yellow Jack last fall ever
known to have occurred in the expe-
rience of his faithful nurses he new
er had a physician, and for months
after recovery he was barely able to
get about. The old man came out
all right, however, and what is a re-
markable feature connected with his
case is the fact that a special fondness
held through life for strong drink,
including every intoxicating beverage
known to the palate, was entirely de-
strOyed. Since he got well of the
fever good old Jim Rose has never
had the slightest use for any kind
OF liquor and not a drop has been
known to touch his lips. Yellow
Jack converted him. In addition ia
being a disciple of the temperance
cause old Jim belongs to the church.
and he is pleased, he says, to see the
yellow rose coming down from the
front Of peoples houses.

TOO small for measurement.
Arfesinn Wells.

San Francisco is largely supplied
with water by artesian wells, of which
it is said there are not less than two
hundred in the city. While in Lon
don and elsewhere it has been OBJ
served that the supply of each we'll
decreased in proportion to the increase
in the number of wells, such an effect
has not been observed in San Fran
cisco. In some of them the water is
reached at a very low depth. One of
the hotels is supplied by a well thirty
eight feet deep. Another by a well
sixty feet deep, furnishing six thou
sand gallons of water per day. A
candle factory has a well one hundred
and %sixty-eight feet deep, which gives
a supply of ten thousand gallons per
hour. The Chronicle has been put
ting up a building, for which a new
well is being bored, which is expected
to supply eight thousand gallons per
day. One reason for the large number
of artesian wells in the city has been
the extortionate rates charged for
water by the corporation through
which the city has received its supply.
Like nearly all the corporations Of
California, these water companies have
exhibited an insolent and rapacious
disposition.

A small crop of cotton fully ripe

Philadelphia LEDGER
Ii is something of an open secret
that an effort is on foot between the
great railroads centering at this city
and at New York THE Pennsylvania
and the CcntraD as to which shall get
and hold control of the Texas Pacific
railroad, with which the Iron Noun
tain railroad connects. We see it
stated that there have been meetings,
plottings and counterplottings to get
possession of the Iron Mountain road,
and to extend it westwardly to El
Paso. upon the Mexican frontier, thus
opening a country richly productive
Of cotton and cereals. 1t is reported
that a meeting between parties largely
interested in Iron Mountain and par
ties in interest in the Pennsylvania
road, with the object of forwarding
this extension. was held in this city
within a day or two, with very salts
factory results. The contamination
of this scheme, it is believed, would
greatly benefit the Iron Mountain
property, and the probability of its
being effected would seem to warrant
the attention which its stock is re-
ceiving at the hands of buyers.
