Henry Mcdonald.

DEMOCRAT of 22d.-Jerry Plume and
VIM. GlineS got on track of Mcdonald,
the escaped murderer, on Thursday last,
soon after they started out. He no doubt
beat about the hills during Saturday night,
for he crossed the mouth of More creek
on Sunday morning on his way up Boise
river. Gllnes, being one of the chief wit
nesses for the people, in McDonald's case,
returned from the trail on Friday, so that
he could be on hand at opening of court
tomorrow morning. Jerry Plume kept
on alone Mr. Hank Creasop arrived from
North Fork of the Boise, fifty miles above
town, yesterday morning, at which point
Mcdonald, or man answering his de
scription, camped with the Bowling boys
on Monday night, leaving with them on
the following morning for Atlanta. Hank
saws he shared blankets with Mcdonald
| that night not knowing, of course, who he
was. The murderer had barga.ned his
horse (the one he left this place ON to the
Bowling boys, to be delivered upon their
arrival at Atlanta. He took the worst pos
sible route he could have selected to make
good his escape, as he cannot get out OF
Atlanta only ON snowshoes. The proba
bility is very strong that ere this McDon

The Bodie Free Press saws:

The Bodie Free Press says: A re-
port has reached here to the effect
that the two Bodie men who were
prospecting in the Sweetwater region
with divining rod, have been "fred
out" of the district by the superstitious
miners, and that they have been pros
pecting in the vicinity of Wellington.
One experienced prospector fed the
country on seeing two men "poking
around with little old forked stick.

other prospectors in that vicinity, it
seems. come to the conclusion that it
would lie better TO run the divining-
rod out OF the country than to have
the divining-rod run them out.

1t has been estimated that, in 1878,
on the 100000 miles Of railroad, there
were at work 1885, 900 locomotives, of
an aggregate 100000 horse power,
while the total number of engines
amounted to 46.000,0O0 horsepower.
Taking the nominal horsepower at
an effective force equal to that Of
three horses, and the work Of horse
as equal to that of seven men, it will
be seen that the steam engines repre-
sent the force of nearly 1000, 600, OOO
men, which is more than double the
amount of workers on the face of the
globe. The steam-engine, which is
fed by coal, has, therefore, tripled the
productive power of man.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR has at last COM
menced the disintegration Of the old
Cabinet of his predecessor in office, and
yesterday appointed Ex-Governor f. ID.
Morgan, of New York, to be Secretary
of the Treasury In place of William
Window, Of Minnesota. Mr.. Morgan
is an able tinancier, a gentleman of un-
impeachable integrity and anblemished
character. At the death of President
Garfield it was the general desire OF the
country at large, that President Arthur
should retain the Cabinet of President
Garfield, at the same time acknowledg
ing the right and justice of Mr.. Arthur to
form Cabinet in harmony with his
own feelings, without being open to
censure or criticism. AS President
Arthur, however, has seen proper to
exercise his own judgment in the ap-
pointment of his own Cabinet advisers,
and has commenced the disintegration
of the old and the formation Of the new
Cabinet, by the appointment Of L. D..
Morgan I o take charge of the Treasury
portfolio, it must be acknowledged that
he has commenced well, and Il he con-
tinues to do as well in' point of charac-
ter and ability on the part Of his ap-
pointees until his Cabinet is formed to
suit his views, the country will have
nothing to fear by the changes.
