-THE dreaded Asiatic black
plague is spreading over Europe, not
withstanding the most severe and
rigorous measures have been adopted
to cheek its progress. As no remedy
has yet been discovered for it, it will
prove very fatal wherever it puts in
an appearance. Nor is America like
ly to escape the dreadful visitation.
At the rate at which the scourge is
advancing it will probably reach the
central portion of the European con-
tinent during the coming Summer,
and by May, 1880, at furthest, it will
be on our shores. In view of this
probability, Congress should, Nithout
delay, pass bill offering an ade-
quate reward for the discovery of a
cure for the disease.

A FAST BOY.
One Who Came Into the World al
the Rate of Twenty Miles an

/
Hour.
Apropos of an incident that re-
Gently happened in the streets of this
CITY, well-known railroad man tells
the following romantic story, which,
if the accounts are to be relied ON,
occurred about the same time:
A few nights since, when the Kan
sas Pacific train was making light
ming time across the plains in the di-
rection of Denver, the emigrant car
was occupied by solitary woman
and three little tow-headed children.
In occasionally passing through, the
conductor had observed that the
passenger was apparently very I'M
easy, and frequently inquired how
long it would be before they reached
their destination; but he gave the
matter little attention, naturally sup
posing it was merely the outgrowth
of female impotence. What was
his surprise then, when going into
the car few hours afterward, to
have his ears assailed by the loud
shrieks of newborn infant, and to
see the mother evidently equal to the
situation and giving TO this addition
to her family the attention which the
circumstances required.
"Wby, great heavens" exclaimed
the conductor, whats the matter
here p
4 "Nothing at all-the matters all
over" replied the woman, a wintry
smile playing around her pale lips.
"You don't mean to tell me that
child has just been born Z"
"Well, no, not exactly. It's some
thing like an hour DID," and the hap
py mother dexterously invested it in
bit of ragged calico which she had
been smoothing out for the purpose.
"But don't you need some help
some attention-the presence OF
some female ~ stammered the be-
wildered official. Il never heard of
anything like this before"
"Ob, no; it's all right now; Ina
getting along splendidly."
The conductor beat a hasty re-
treat, and. having fished up an old
woman in some other part Of the
train, sent her in to attend to his self.
reliant passenger. An hour or two
afterward he gave her another call,
and found the lady serene and happy.
SLOWS that youngster getting
along r. he asked.
"First. rate" replied the smiling
mother. II say, conductor, this is
rather fast boy, amt he Z"
81 should say he was he came
into the world at the rate of twenty
miles an hour"
81 am going to make railroad
man of him"
"It's good idea"
The conductor looked little en-
barrassed for moment and then felt
nervously in his pocket and produced
$40 bill.
MADAM, just take that and buy
the boy an outfit, and when he gets
big enough dispatch him by express
to my train. I'll make railroad
man Of him if there is anything in
BIRTH" and with his politest bow the
conductor took his leave. In few
minutes the train reached its destina-
ton and the woman with her baby
disappeared in the throbbing life
and hustle of the city.-Dcnver

Ever since the meeting of the
Legislature the V. 81 7. X. r. Off
cials have promised that sworn re-
port showing in detail the receipts

been fulfilled Z Are the profits OF

THE SAND L0T ORATOR.

Dennis Kearney is the hero of the
hour in San Francisco. He, who few
months ago, was denounced by nearly
all the newspapers and public men in
the State of California, as a brainless
demagogue, and dangerous Communist,
who sought TO destroy the existing re-
lations Of society, while incapable of de-
vising better methods of government,
is to-day Landed as hero and be-slab-
bered with compliments by those self
same journals AMI speakers. Then, they
feared that kearney and his followers
constituted a majority of the voters of
the State to-day they feel assured that
they cannot elect their candidates by a
plurality. Now, they are lavish in their
praises of him, whom but yesterday
they stigmatized as demagogue, and
his harangues are published at length
and commented on favorably in their
columns. They encourage him and his
followers, who, outside of San Francis
co, cannot reasonably hope to elect even
% constable, to keep full State ticket
in the fell hoping thereby to defeat the
New Constitution Party, whose success
will insure the correction of abuses, and
the introduction of necessary reforms in
laws aud Government. He is now hail
ell as the savior OF San Francisco, for
counseling his followers in the excite
ment growing out of the De Young
Kalloch aff,ay not to sack the city, and
in the event of Kallochs death should
he be nominated for Mayor, they could
not with any show of consistency re-
tract what they have said in his favor
in the past few days. and urge the peo-
pie to defeat him. Many suspect that
he has sold out and the changed tone of
papers which so roundly abused him a
short time ago, indicate that their sur
misses are correct. They magnify his
Influence and proclaim to the world
that the safety Of city with about
quarter of million Of inhabitants, is in
his hands. Kearney does not now re,
quire the services of special newspa-
per organ to, sound his praises. The
conservative Bulletin, the superanuated
Alta, the fence straidling Call, and the
Railroad organs at Sacramento, do that
much better than the Open Letter ever
did or could.
