On Sunday afternoon, as Sabbath School was about 10 open, a lOw-bred Mexican dashed to pieces one of the panes of glass in the new Presbyterian Church, and then broke of on a run Mr. Farley, who saw the act, went after him, and MT.

ronr Hundred Niles an Hour.

In travelling eastward in railroad ear at the rate of forty miles an hour, the speed of the train added to the rate of the earth's revolution on it's axis makes the total speed with refer enCe to the sun about 11C0 miles an hour Upon this principle a '' com mon sense engineer proposes Co transport passengers at the rate of 100 miles an hOur. and shorten the time between New York and San Francis co 10 ten hours He would divide the distance of 5000 miles into thirty parts; and at the end of each 100 mics place powerful stationery en- zines Rolling on the 1O0-mIle track he would place a 90-mile track, on the 90 an S0-mile, on the so 70, and SO on, the upper track of all, on which the train is placed, being only ten miles long. One engine should draw the 90-mile track to the end or the 1O0-mile track: another should at the same time draw the S0-mile track to the end of the 90 l. ile track, and so on, each smaller track being simul- taneously dragged over the ten miles of extra track below il; the last en- zine drawing the train its ten miles on the uppermost track. By this means the train would be moved 100 miles in fifteen minutes, or 400 miles an hour.

General Hancock Brevetted.r %

WASHINGTON, December 1J.-The ! President to-day signed an order as- signing MdiOr-Generai Winfield $.
 Hancock, United States Army, to duty according to his brevet rank of Major
 General, conferred on him on the 18th
 of March, 1865. This order Is tO date
 from the 4 h of March, 1880. Exactly
 what this meant did nos appear to be clear to-day, and there was much com
 ment as Co whether thIs was piece of carel lsssness or a petty and deliberate atirOnt put upon General Hancock by the malicious impertinence of some department clerk. General o. O..
 Howard, on being asked what the meaning could be, came to the rescue of those who were puzzled by the order, and in the absence Of the Secre- tgry Of War volunteered "by breyet, ,' as it were, the following truly lucid explanation. He says there IS really nothing extraordinary about IL, and that it was not meant for an imperti- neuce. Colonel Getty, of the Third Artillery, is in command at Fortress Monroe, with the brevet rank of MajOr-G c encral. He was brevetted on the same day with General Hancock, and before General Hancock was made full Major r-General, and conse- quenlY SO long as the order under which he was brevettcd lasts he ranks General Hancock, whose breyet rank as Major General ceased when he be- came a Maior-General in fact. His rank by brevet, however, took pre- cedeuce over Get,y's brcvet rank, and it is now restored to avoid possible complications in the impending army chanEes-

Items from the Mines


 Superintendent Emanuel, of the Vlzina, who has just returned from California District, reports the camp booming, although as yet develop ment is light, excepting on the Texas which is looking fine. The shaft on thls is down 14O feet, and the tunnel has been driven over 30 feet. The ore road from the tunnel to the smclt- CT site, a distance Of about 800 yards through heavy limestone, is about completed, and the shelter was daily expected.
 Work on the two shafts of the Mountain Maid mine is being rapidly prosecuted, three shifts being em plOyed at each. The Allen street shaft is down 100 feet, and though no large body of ore has been struck, the indications are very favorable, as they are at the Fifth street shaft, which Is twenty feet deep.
 Assays yesterday made from the Ohio mine, Bisbee, went S7S.5 54 sil- yer anG 21lI per cent. copper. The ore, which Is copper silver glance. is from the bottom of a 14foot shaft. The fortunate owners are Martin 6 Broad and Shultz.

 The first female clerks in the Ma
 tioual Treasury were appointed in 1869 by Secretary Chase, who placed
 them in the office of the Comptroller
 of the Currency at S6O0 a year. They
 cut and trimmed Umued States notes
 issued in sheets, and they did their
 work very well. As soon as they had
 been appointed there were many other
 applicants, and their number steadily
 increased, many of them securing
 places through the peculiar energy
 and perseverance which will refuse 10
 take DO for an answer There are
 now more than 1900 women in the de-
 partments at Washington, the major
 ity employed in the Bureau of En. graving and Printing and m the Gov ernment Printing Office. They excel as counters, their slender. sensitive fingers turning notes with great rapid. fly and eXaclness. They detect coun- terfeitS, it is said, quicker than men, though they do not succeed so well with accounts, as the average femin- inc mind has little natural love for figures. Counters and cOpyiSts re- ceive S900 year, other women S12O0 to Sl4O0. several of them SlG00, and one in the Internal Revenue $lS0O. Most of the clerks are we'll educated and refined, and many have seen more prosperous days. A mum Der are widows and daughters Ot army and navy officers who lost their lives in the civil war. Very few of inc young women or widows marry or resign. ! and consequently the hundreds who !. are constantly setking places in Wash !. ington have very slender prospect Of success, The most uniting, ohsii- . nate place seekers at the Federal Cap ! ital are women.

The Journal of Science reports that Herr Faber lately exhibited his new speaking machine before the Physlcal Society, London. It is designed Go initiate mechanically the utterance of the human voice by means of artificial organs of articulation made on the human model, and it is worked by keys like a musical instrument. A bellows made Ol wood and Iudia-rub Der serves for lungs. 4 small wind mill IS placed in front If the below to give rilling sounds. The larynx IS made of single membrane of hIp- pOpOiamus hide and india-rubber. \ mouth with two lips, a tongue and an india-rubber nose complete the organ of the apparatus. Fourteen distiuc- sounds are uttered by it and by com bining these any word in any lau- guage can be produced. Laughing and whispering were also produced, and the pitch was raised or depressed at pleasure.

We have about 80 miles of iron laid, and track laying is going as fast as we can get material to them. Of sourse. our first efforts are towards a connection with the Southern Pacific, which will give us an immediate line 10 Califor- aia. My understanding is that after our connection has been made with the Southern Pacific all our forces will be put on the line west of .Albu- querque, which will be extended into your country very rapidly early next year, and there should be no difficulty Tn our getting the business from your country next season, anyway"

A LEADING ENTEnrR1sE.
Railroads. Water Power and Cheap
 Milling.
IGlohs Chronicle.f !


 In former number of the Chron- ice we referred Co the necessity of cheap milling facilities for this dis trlct-especiaily for the development of the m mense lodges of low grade ore, which we have in great abun- dance. We also stated that a project was on foot looking 10 the solution of this problem by improving the mag niiicent water-power Of the Salt River at the foo. of PInal Valley, and the building of a tramway or narrow gauge railroad to that point for the Transportation of the ores for rcduc- ton. We now have the pleasure of stating to our readers that Mir. J. w.. Eddy. who has this matter Tn hand, has just returned to Globe from a conference with Eastern capitalists, and reports the most encouraging sue cess. Ii his statements ot the rich ness and extent of our mines are veri- fled. and he has endeavOred tO make them rather inside than outside of the true figures, the money is ready to undertake the work and also to build a railroad at once to connection with -ither the Southern Pacific Rail- road on the south, thu Atlantic and Pacific on the north, or both, should the outlook justify il. There is water power enough within Globe District, including the Salt and Gila Rivers, to run 5, GOO stamps, and timber enough on the Sierra Anches, adjoining, 10 furnish lumber for the district and the mining camps at the south, including Tombstone. A careful investigation of Mr. Eddy's enterprise suggests wonderful possibilities for Globe and the adjoining districts, and the quiet but persistent manner in which he has brought it lc its present state Of inspires q general conf dence in his ultimate success.
