A Railroad that Forms q LOup.

4 gentleman who has taken the rail
road ride of $50 miles from San Francisco
to Yuma, Arizona, describes the cele-
brated "Loup,n one Of the most notable
railroad engineering feats ever accom-
pliShed. He says: About four hundred
miles from San Francisco, rs you awake
in the morning, you find the train wind
ing through mountain passes, sweeping
around mountain tops, ,and running along
frightful precipices. By taking note as
the train passed certain points, | fire.
quently found myself running along 4
cliff several hundred feet high, tie bot
tom of which the train had been skirting
u few minutes before, and then again
within ten minutes the snort of the loco
motive would re-echo from the bottom
of Il deep gulch up the sides of the very
cliffs from which we had just descended.
After passing through several tunnels
in rapid succession, the ninth is reached.
Here the locomotive almost comes to 4
standstill, as if preparing for the effort
and then it dashes through up steep
grade and describing an almost perfect
oval it crosses over the tunnel it had four
minutes previously passed through, thus
forming a loup. In making the loup the
road rises seventy-eight feet in distance
Of less than four thousand feet. After
making the loup we emerge into the arid
desert. This is most desolate region,
presenting no relief to the eye from the
waste of sand. Nothing grows here. The
only thing that is raised here is an occa-
sional sand storm, binding and penetra-
ting. To get out of this sandy waste the
train dashes through the San Fernando
tunnel-piercing the mountain-a dis
tance of nearly seven thousand feet, and
lhen emerges into the Los Angeles val
tey, presenting a picture in grateful con-
trast with the scenes just passed through.
Here the lemon and orange fourishes.

"Just Like a Boy"

Every well-regulated family should
have boy about fourteen years old, Il
lawl-mowCr and grass enough to set the
boy to work for halfan hour after school.
1t is an interesting study to see boy
showing q lawn-mOwer around. No boy
can strike bee-line with Il mower. lie
starts out to do it, but he sees boy on
stills up the street and he stops to rest.
He has just started off again when he
sees boy with a ball down the street,
and it is also time to oil the mower. He
has Just braccd himself for new effort
when q stray dog comes trotting along,
and it is that boys duty to watch that
dog out Of sight. He turns and shovcs
the mower along for about ten feet and
then he must have drink Of water. If
the old gent is at home n boy can drink
a gallon Of water and get back to his
work in about twenty minutes, but all
depends on circumstances. II he gets
back he stands and wonders whether it
is right or lfft-handed mower, and why
it wasn't riggcd to run itself.
If y rap on the window admOniShes
the boy that procrastination is the thief
of time, he buckles right down to the
business and rushes the mower over four
brick-bats, q hoop and several coal clink-
ers, and then comes an examination of
the knives. Let Il boy get in the shade
with good brace for his back, and lie
can examine a lawn-mower from base
ment to garret in about half an hour.
At the end of the second cut across the
sward it is the boys duty to scan the
heavens and see if any kites are up.
A good boy can do this in about fifteen
minutes, and he can put in ten more
looking across the street ut white
washed fence and cat. BY this time
he feels hungry, and when lie has hunted
the house over for cake it is high time to
90 around the corner and see if that
Smith boy has got that bird-trap
finished.-DctroH Free Press.

my foot and ankle badly hurt-so badly,

Some days after my foot was quite
well. the doctor was surprised, one morn
ing, at seeing Guard walk into the office
alone, holding up one of his paws. On
cooking at the paw, the doctor found a
oail in it. which he took out; then he

H Ella XOyara."

The death Of Omar Kingsley at Bonn
bay, India. closes the career of one who
gained widespread reputation as Ella
Ioyara. For years he appeared rs IN
cQucstrienne under this title in almost
every country on the globe, and few of
those who have witnessed the graceful
performance of the beautiful Zoyara
dreamed that the performer was man.
Letters and lovers were abundant, and
among the latter figured no less impor-
tant parsonage than Victor Emmanuel
of Italy, who fell in love with the dasl-
ing young rider. Soldiers and civilians
figured also on the list ofZoyara's lovers,
and a dispute about her among the
former finally caused her or him to be
placed in durance vile at Manila.
Kingsley was born in st. Louis, where
his mother and sister still reside, about
1910. At the early age ofsiX travelling
circus fired his fancy for sawdust and
spangles, and he soon ran away from
the parental roof. He apprenticed .im-
self to Spence Stokes, a circus proprietor
of PhilaAelphia. Stokes trained him to
do an equestrian act. and he soon ap-
peared under the name Of Ella Zoyara
His beautiful boyish face, a profusion Of
rich black curly hair, and his slender
form assisted the impersonation. lie
was advertised and rode under this name
for several years, attracting no particu-
lar attention, but keeping the secret of
his sex carefully concealed. He accom-
panied Spence to Europe, where he rode
rs female in all the principal cities. In
Moscow 4 Russian count is said to
have fallen madly in love with him, and
offered Stokes large sum for an intro
duction to the fair Zoyara. 1t was in
the sunny cline of Italy, however. that
the greatest conquest took place. Victor
Emmanuel saw him at the circus. and
afterward sent for him. He attended,
though accompanied by his woman SER
want, without whom he rarely appeared
in public. Emmanuel frequently at
tended the performance. and Zoyara
called upon him. The King of Italy pre-
sentcd him with magnificent black stall
lion, of which Stokes Immediately took
possession, and afterward sold when in
financial difficulties in Madrid.
When Zoyara returned to New York he
was advertised us thegreateSt female rider
that Europe had ever seen, and crowds
were nightly attracted by his perform
ances. He rode 4 graceful act, was more
daring and brilliant than any equestri-
enne that had or has appeared before IN
American audience, while long expert
ence enabled him to impersonate female
character in q manner that almost de-
fed detection. His sex was secret even
to many of those employed in the same
establishment. He performed for one or
two seasons in The eastern country,
everywhere meeting with success. letters,
and would-be lovers and husbands. Dur
ing this time he was married to Sallie
Stickney, an equestrienne, daughter of
Robert Stickney, of Cincinnati. In 1868,
he came to California and made his debut
in this city in connection with John
Wilson'S circus.-San Francisco Chroni-

THE OHIO IDEA.
Unexpected Changes Which it Will
Make IN the Whole POliti-

Cdl OuIlUUhs
Special dispatch TO the Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June S.
The Ohio politicians are here in
conference. Gen. Rice, nominated
for Lieutenant Governor on the
ticket with Gen. Ewing, having az
rived last night. Their councils are
not harmonious. The special object
of Gen. Rice's visit is to confer
with Ewing, first as to the retention
of John G. Thompson, Sergeant-at-
Arms, as Chairman of the Ohio
State Central Committee, not
withstanding his avowed histility
to Ewing; second to form gen
eral plans for the campaign
in the event that Rice accepts. Re
ports having reached here from
Ohio that Rice was Withholding his
acceptance of the nomination for
the Lieutenant-G overnorship until
he should obtain a guarantee from
Ewing that Thompson should be re
tanned at the head of the State
Committee, kilograms were imme>
diately sent by Congressman from
various States to Ohio, notifying
Thompson's friends that, if he att
tempted any bulldozing of that sort,
he might not only lose the Chair
manship of the Ohio State Central
Committee, but be ousted from his
position as Sergeant alarms of
the House of Representatives here.
1t is probable, therefore, that
Thompson will be ousted, and Ew-
ing's friend, Len Harris, put in his
place, and that Rice will accept.
There is another difficulty in the
way of the Ohio Democratic cam
paign. Despising the Tilden wing
and the hard-money wing Of their
party as the Democrats of Ohio
Idea do, they are very willing and
anxious to obtain Eastern money
for campaign purposes. Informa-
ton received from New York, how
ever, shows that the Eastern Demo
Gratis do not intend to contribute
one dollar to the success of the Ewe
ing rag -money ticket. On the con-
trary, intimations have been re-
ceived here that Tilden's influence
would be quietly exerted in the cam
Palgn, but against Ewing's interests.
Eastern Democrats, indeed, are be-
ginning to the peril to their party
on the development of the Ohio
Idea, for they know that, if it is sue
cessful in Ohio, it may be success
full in the National Convention. and
that means utter humiliation to the
Democracy of the East. The most
astute Eastern Democratic leaders
realize the situation, and say they
prefer to have the contest made this
fall, and choose to have the Ohio
Idea beaten in Ohio itself rather
than to meet it in the National Con-
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-06-12

THE internal workings of the
Ohio Democracy are not those of
a happy family. John G. Thomp-
son, vulgarly known as "Jongee,
has been chairman of the State
Committee for several years, and
during all that time has been hold
ing up the party by its caudal APP
pendage. He has always did its
dirty work with alacrity and never
stopped to ask questions. If the
exigencies of the occasion demanded
square, unmitigated lying, "Jongee"
was an adept and had it reduced to
an art. In addition to all the quail
ties which fit a man for Demo-
cratic manager, he is Senator
Thurman's fact0tum, ready at all
times and under all circumstances
to say or do whatever was necessary
to advance the political fortunes of
the Ohio Senator. He went to the
late Democratic Convention at
Columbus with orders to defeat
Governor Bishop and nominate Gen.
Rice, but got "busted," and Ewing,
who received the nomination, signi-
fed his desire to have another man
at the head Of the State Committee.
The Committee has wrestled with
the problem for more than a week,
and have finally resolved to set
down on "Jongee. Before doing
so the Cincinnati Enquirer, the
leading Democratic paper in the
State, gave him this gentle hint:
"John Thompson, Esq, holds on to
his position a. Chairman of the Dem
Ocratic State Committee with death
grip Ii the man had any mOdesty he
would resign at once. He has been
politely told by the head OF the ticket
that his services are not needed and
substantially made 10 know that his
support in an executive position il not
wanted. Under the circumstances the
party will be obliged to kick him out
In the meantime the Republicans
are united and harmonious, and
Fosters majority is put down at
from fifteen to forty thousand.

THURSDAY, JUNE II 1879.

A FEW days ago Capt. BlackfOrd,
of the Capitol Police, whom we
happen to personally know as a
worthy gentleman and faithful
officer, received notice from the
Brigadiers that his resignation was
wanted. He is a one-armed ex-
Union soldier, and in an encOuntre
with desperate at the Capitol, had
his other arm broken some time
ago. There was no charge Of
inefficiency against him, the only
reason for his removal being to make
a place for a Democrat. He de-
clined to resign, and was then re-
moved and an able bodied, Pennsyl-
vania copperhead put in his place.
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial says the
proportion of ex-Confederate SOL
der appointees to ex-Federal soldier
appointees in the Senate wing of the
capitol is now eight to one. Black
burn, Lamar, Ben. Hill, Thurman,
Eaton, Ewing, Proctor Knott, ct I'd
smne genus, are happy, and say it is
right and just. When the Demo
Gratis in Ohio and elsewhere are
appealing to ex-Federal soldiers for
their votes these will be proper
facts to remember.

We trust that the day is not far
distant when exhibitions of intoler-
ance, born of blind prejudice, will
no longer disgrace Southern cons
munities. Opposition to "a public
manifestation in honor of the dis
tinguished dead was common in the
Middle Ages, when ignorance, SUI
perstition and brute power were the
controlling forces, but in enlight-
ened communities a spirit of liber-
atty, born of modern civilization,
is looked for. In refusing to allow
the use of the State Capitol at
Atlanta for the purpose of holding
4 Garrison Memorial meeting, we
trust that Gov. Colquitt did not
properly represent the people Of
Georgia. We are informed that
the Constitution, a live newspaper
published in Atlanta, refused to
give notice that such a meet
ing would be held at the
Lloyd Street Methodist Church,
when the capitol could not
be secured. We will be glad to
know that our information is incor-
rect. We will be glad to know that
the spirit which prompted the State
of Georgia to offer a reward of five
thousand dollars for the head of
William Lloyd Garrison, because
he was in favor of abolishing slavery
does not exist in Georgia yet, after
the death of the institution and the
man who spent an active life in
fighting it.
