MARELHBURG, March 11.-Several

military forts and the country swarm
ing with Zulus. With the utmost
care Colonel Pearson's supplies, it is
believed, will be exhausted by the end
of March. An expedition organizing
on the lower Tregela for his relief
amounts to fourteen companies of reg

A Land of wonders.

California is land of wonders.
There are fresh flowers every month
in the year, and winter wears the
bloom of spring. There are water
falls three or four times as high as
Niagara natural bridges of white
marble some thousands of goldbear-
ing veins; inexhaustible quantities of
iron and crome, ores, lead, bismuth
and quicksilver most beautiful por-
celain clay; and in short everything
that can bless an enterprising and in
dustrious people. In one valley were
found more than forty springs over one
hundred degrees Fahrenheit. In an
other valley, sixteen geysers, like the
famous one in Iceland, In this ia
nous abode of Vulcan the rocks are
so hot that you can stand on them but
short time, even with thick bootson
The roar of geysers at times may be
heard a,mile or more, and the moment
is one of the most intense interest as
you approach them.

CURRIE AGAIN.
Additional Particulars in Regard to His
Desperate Character, as Told
by Little Rock Man.


Little Rock Gazette, 29th.l
Mr.. W. L. Sickles, brakeman on
the Iron Mountain road, speaking of
Jim Currie, the murderer of B. c.
Porter, remarked yesterday evening
to a party of men at the Central
House
Currie was the most vicious and
murderous man | ever saw. One
night last November went to the
Texas Pacific Hotel in Marshall and
engaged a room. The clerk, an old
man, remarked that he would give me
Mr.. Currie's room; that he did not
think Currie would be in, as he was
out on the road. | took chair, and
after awhile a tall, staggering man
entered A whisper went around the
room, that's Currie 7 Currie, for
such it proved to be, walked up to the
clerk and said, Iiwant to go to my
room.
+" The clerk, in a very mild manner,
replied
Mr.. Currie, gentleman coming in
just now asked me for a room, and I.
not thinking that you would be back,
told him that he could go into it. But
as you are here, | will assign him
somewhere else, as he hasn't gone up
yet.
Currie, furious as lion, drew a re-
v0lver, and placing the muzzle under
the poor old mans nose, exclaimed
IF you breathe again till | tell you,
I'll blow your head off.
Taking the pistol away, he said:
Now, you id scoundrel, give me
a lamp"
The lamp was given him and he went
up stairs.
This is the same man Currie who
fought with Hayes, the same demon
that has murdered both women and
men, the same Currie who fought in
the Union army, and the same spark

of ore after the mines are drained,
connections with tunnel made and
prosecuting under way, will aver
age 1000 tons, of which 500 tons will
be of a class yielding over $40 per
ton. He pretends at present to
make an estimate on the revenue
likely to arise from the use of the
tunnel for transportation, furnishing
fire wood, timber, compressed air,
water for power and irrigation, mill
supplies, ETC., besides what may be
realized from grants of ground on each
side of the tunnel, which will be Wig

it will, before long, aggregate a very

SAN FRANCISCO.
The COmstOCk Lode and SutrO Tunnel
Differences Brought to a Def.
mite Conclusion.

SAN Francisco, March 3l.-The
compromise between the mining com
panies of the Comstock lode and the
SutrO Tunnel Company was brought
to definite conclusion this morning
and papers signed by all contracting
parties. The agreement is in effect as
follows The preamble reciteS the
original agreement of March, 1866,
between Gould & Curry and the tun-
mel companies, and declares all mines
interested in adjusting the differ
ences. Article first provides that
the terms of the original agreement
have been complied with by
each party second, that the main
tunnel is considered constructed
according to the terms of the original
greement, but provides for the CON
struction of a sub-drain within 80
days; third, that no water shall be
sent through the tunnel until the end
Of 80 days unless the sub-drain be
sooner ready; fourth, that lateral
tunnels s feet wide and Z feet high
shall be constructed, one running
north to a point about 500 feet east of
the Utah shaft, and one south to a
point about 200 feet west of the new
Overman shaft, the work on them to be
commenced within ninety days and
pushed diligently; fifth, reflections
may be made from the regular course
of lateral tunnels if unfavorable
ground is encountered; sixth, the
mining companies agree to advance
seventy dollars foot of the lateral
tunnel payments, to be made on the
9th of each month on work
done the preceding calendar month,
and each of the companies may con-
struct a lateral tunnel along its own
claim, being credited therefor at the
same rate; seventh, the companies are
the be repaid these advances by de-
duction of half of the monthly royalty
in ore reduced or sold; eighth, it
reduces royalty from two to one dollar
per ton on ore yielding not over
forty dollars per ton of two thousand
pounds ninth, mines lying between
California and Challar shall be consid-
cred drained whenever the tunnel is
ready to receive water from the mines
now connected with it, the mines
north of California and south of Chal-
Ter to be considered drained when the
lateral tunnels reach their respective
centers; tenth, the mining conn.,
panies are to make sworn re-
turns of ore product each month,
with the yield of bullion and pay
charges thereon by the 10th of each
succeeding month eleventh, no mine
shall allow any other mine not in
cluded in the agreement to so dis
charge its water that it may be pumped
into the tunnel; twelfth, provides for
the construction of an outside parallel
drain whenever necessary.
Mr.. Sutro calculates that the tun-
mel will be ready for use within sixty

NASHVILLE AMERICAN Both F." If
we should fail to settle the State debt
on the basis proposed in the bill
which has just passed the legislature,
the question would still be one for us
to settle for ourselves but the credi-
tors should look very carefully before
they decide. They lose only ten cents
on the dollar between this proposition
and the one they made. If it is ac-
cepted, their bonds will be at par in
six months. Then, if they are not
satisfied with four per cent. interest,
they can sell and seek other invest
ments. That the bonds would be at
par, the cases of Georgia and Alabama
show clearly. Having conceded forty,
they can afford to concede the ten
cents left between us, when, as we
understand, they would readily accept
fifty cents at six per cent.

Romantic.

What are termed "romancers in real
life" are getting quite common. Tues
day afternoon a handsome, dashing
widow from Mishawaka was walking
on one of the South Bend, Indiana,
streets. A good looking, well-dressed
old gentleman was walking the same
street at the same time. He ap-
preached the lady, whom he had never
seen before, politely apologized for
speaking to her, and courteOusly told
her that he was a widower that he
lived in the Fourth ward that his
son and his sons wife had their habi-
tation with him; that he was displeased
with the regime of his daughterin-
law, and that he would be very much
indebted to the madam if she could
direct him to some one that would
make him a good housekeeper. She
replied that she was a stranger in
South Bend, and could not therefore,
give him the desired information.
He bowed, agolOgizcd again and
started away. Suddenly he turned,
retraced his steps, and once
more addressed her: Pardon me,
madam, but something in your ap-
pearance tells me you are widow ?''
She acknowledged that the something
in her appearance told him the truth.
Then said he: Il like your looks,
and if you'll come and keep house for
me I'll marry you on the spot. Ifyou
want references | can furnish them,
and if you think I've been too hasty
allow me to come and see you at your
home, and we will talk the matter
over. Of course you know the an
swer of the dashing widow. 1t would
not have been much of a romance,
after all, if she hadn't gone with him
to the nearest justice of the peace and
agreed to keep house for the old man
for life. But she didn't. She de-
clined to talk the matter over" at all,
and respectfully informed him that
she preferred to remain widow, thus
spelling our little story.

Will assassinations never cease
Night before last, while Rev. Mr..

saloon in that place, some one fired a
pistol, the ball penetrating his body
and rendering, it is said, a mortal
wound. 1t is not known whether or
not the shot was fired from the saloon.
but it is thought it was done inten-
tionally, by some person bent upon the
assassination. Mr.. Todd was return

THE Boston Post prints a bright
picture, as follows "The factories
are generally resuming or making
ready to resume work, and if the for
eign market could be still more rap
idly extended by intelligent legislation
their prospects would improve at a
more speedy pace. But it is all GER
tain to come right in time. Even real
estate, which is the last to rally, feels
the effect of the reviving trade i'm
pulses and improves its figures and
pretensions together. We have reached
a stage, in fact, at which further
movement is possible but in one direc-
tion. Everything must now go for
ward. The country is evidently about
to enter on career of prosperity
whose splendors have hardly yet been
imagined" "

seemed to be hopeless case. The
