The Sudden Disappearance Of Au-
dtt0r Duff Still shrouded I'm Mys-

terry.
There are no new developments in the
case of the mysterious disappearance of
Auditor Duff. The railroad authorities
still assert that his books are all right. and
in perfect order. We are satisfied that he
never wronged the Company out of a dime.
He had money of his own and was not in
need Of that Of his employers. just be-
fore leaving San Francisco he drew over
SO. 1000 from II. II. Noble, his broker. He
was under promise to remain a third. 1t
! seems that he tried to conceal his presence
in San Francisco. He is reported 10 have
said TO NJ. ID. Foley that he did not want
any OF his Eureka acquaintance TO know
that he was there. When he drew
his money from Mir. Noble he told that
gentleman thai he was going 10 quit stocks
and loan his money III LureAa at Two per
cent. He had the Noble check cashed at
the London aud San francisco Bank. He
placed the coin III a sack, and the sack in a
new valise which he had purchased for the
pnrpore. In this way lac boarded the BARI
which bore him hence. According to the
detectives lac was the ouly white passenger
on board, the vessel being manned by
Cinnamon. 1t is stated thai Ills destina-
ton is Australia, it being h + Intention to
iDterc, pi the Australian steamer at tie
Sandwich Isianas. he sailed from san
Francisco last Saturday at 5 P. NJ, Mrs.
Duff arriving there by the overland train

lum four, the weight of ball to be 80
pounds and the striking part will be of
ample power for q bell Of 800 pounds, for
the sum Of $3.50, the Company's price.
Tie freight will be about SZ5. and the

furnish this clock with a large dial and
charge nothing for putting IL up. For
taking care of 1t ! will only charge the mail
amount Of S. a month, and will keep it in

ual labor system tackled on as a fifth
wheel to the curriculum of the pros
porous institution. We suppose 1t
will do the Institution no harm. The
study OF mineralogy, geology and ag-
ricultural chemistry will still be pros
ecuted. II Is unfortunate, perhaps,
that the generous endowment OF this
institution enables it to employ a
greater number OF excellent teachers,
each assigned to his own specially,
than other schools of the State. Young
gentlemen are thus more thoroughly
instructed at less cost than elsewhere,
and competition with the Bryan insti-
tuition is impossible. Therefore war
waged against the institution and its
president and faculty. But this last
dodge of the trustees in opening 8
school farm, andlsetting boys that like
1t, to farming and gardening, sllences

nizances operate as lien on the real
estate Of the obligors from date OF
signing said bonds or entering into
said recognizances, which bill, if en-
acted. INTO law, would most effectu-
ally do away with bonds, which, how
ever good they may have been when
given, are almost without exception
worthless when forfeiture is taken.
Under the law as it now is obligors
are enabled to dispose of their prop
erty or place it out of the reach of the
law as soon after they secure the re-
lease OF their principal as they choose.
But Judiciary Committee No. /, TO
which said bill was referred, come to
the front and say. by the substitute
they report OIL no, desr people, let
there be no lien until the criminal has
