A story is told of footman to q

who disposed Of all his savings In

he drew up the following plan of
the manner in which he intended

The owner of steam sawmill in
Nevada was until lately q mem Der
of a Methodist church, from which
he was expelled, as he says, to
crafty the personal spite of the
pastor. He resolved to hold reIi-
gious services of his own, and to
make them effective. he obtained
a powerful calliope, and attached
it to the steam boiler of his mill.
On Sundays the voice of the Metho'
dist preacher is drowned by the
sound of the calliope, as it screeches
"rhe Sweet By and By" and other
Moody and Sankey tunes. The
clergyman has applied to a JUS
tice's court for relief, but the Mag.
istrate rules that the use of the cal
liope on Sunday for sacred music
is legal. The question has been
carried to higher court.

| Heaviest Rnin Of sac Season.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-The
most drenching rain of the season
has prevailed during the past thirty
six hours. Over three inches of
rain has fallen on this peninsula,
aud the storm has been general
throughout the central and north
ern parts of the State. Dispatches
from Southern counties and from
all points in the upper San Joaquin
valley south of Fresno, show that
the storm has not reached there.
The rainfall in the interior is much
lighter than along the coast, which
is receiving the brunt of the storm.
An Old Firm Attached.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-The
old and extensive house of God
chaux Brothers & Co., No. 1l9 Bat.

in foreign dry goods and fancy
notions, were attached this morn
ing for some $4,000. The attaching
creditors are Isaac Levi, of Living
stou & Co., 22O California street,
and S. Blum, of Martinez, Contra
Costa County. The firm is also in
debted to Lazard Freres, bankers,
and the Bank of California. Their
paper outstanding is, to a great ex-
tent, endorsed by many retail deal
ers in this city. The liabilities of
the firm and its ability to meet
them have not yet been made

Some striking views of Castle
Dome are to be had at this stage CT
the trip.
There was nothing Of special in
terest to be seen until Texas Hill,
from which the previous terminus
of the road was called, came into
the Foreground. We suppose that
some half forgotten circumstance
led to its being so named. AT this
stage Mr.. Strobrldge, the COM
pany's Superintendent OF Construc-
tion, joined the party. We learn ed
from him that the ioad-bed was
graded for a distance of between
twenty and thirty miles beyond
Stanwix and that construction was
halting from the delay in forward
ing rails-a delay which has arisen
on account of the snow blockades
in the East. Less than an hour
brough, us to StanwiS, the present
Arizona terminus Of the Sou hern
Pacific, which is eishty.six miles
from Yuma and three hundred and
thirty.four from Los Angeles.
The rest of our experiences we
reserve for to.morrow's HERALD,
merely remafking that some idea
of the extent of the forwarding bus
iness in Arizona may be gained
from the statement of the fact that
eighty ten aud twelve mule
teams were loaded with supplies
for various portions of Arizona
at Texas Hill tho last week
the terminus remained at
that point. Travel is increasing
daily, prospectors are becoming as
numerous as locusts and general
quest for treasure has begun which,
we'll Informed people predict, will
be pregnant with rich develop.
ments in the near future.
One last word as to the railway.
1t is splendidly built, ballasted and
equipped. The pioneer can now
reach the edge of Arizona in q
Silver Palace Sleeping Car. In o
few months the iron horse will
snort in Maricopa Wells-spanning
a space nearly as great as that from
Los Angeles to Yuma. We never
rode on a smoother track; and,
frcm the San Gorgonio Summit to
the present terminus, the rails are
steel, iron having been altogether
discarded by the Southern Pacific.
An iron rail will last ten years with
fair amount of use, while it is
supposed that steel rails will stand
the wear and tear of hundred
years. The latter Is pure specula-
tion, US no steel rail has been laid
down fora time sufficient TO give q
fair test of its durability.

How Watches are Made.

It will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of thesprecieus metal used is needed
only to stitfen and hold the engraved
portions in place, aud supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless. so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature,
as follows:-A plate of composition metal,
specially adapted to the purpose. has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip of heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres. bezels.
&c.. are cut aDd shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enameliing; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth By time and use
without removing the gold These cases
are for sale by all jewelers., and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. IF your jew
eer does not keep them, send to HAGsToZ
& THORPE, Ledger Building, Philadel-
phia, for illustrated catalogue.
