The shippers are reaping the bene-
fit Of the demoralized freight rates
from Chicago.
A medical genius has offered the
amount of 81 900 for Guiteau's body,
and will take his chances Of having
to wait for it.
There are over 3 10000 members of
Trade Unions in Pittsburg. Their
organizations are growing rapidly.
The hanging of Guiteau cannot
be an immediate matter, as most
people seem to think. Under the
law he cannot be hanged until thir-
ty days after the opening Ofths next
term of court. This will not be I'M
till the 9Th of April, and, therefore,
the date Of Guiteau's execution can
not possibly take place until the 4th
Of May.
John Kelley, owning just enough
of New York city politicians in the
State Legislature to give him the
balance of power, is as surely and
completely the political boss of New
York State to-day as Roscoe Conk-
ling was four years ago. New York
is nothing politically without a boss.
II it isn't one boss it is another.
The President has approved the
recommendations of the Secretary
of the Interior touching the report
of the Government Railroad Com
missioners upon the newly complet-
ed one hundred mile section of the
Atlantic and Pacific railroad, and
has accepted the same. This action
confirms to the railroad company
patents for over 81, 200 acres of land,
for each mile.
The Emperor William of Germany
has issued an imperial rescript ,coun-
t~ersigned by Bismarck, and adj
dressed to the Prussian ministry, in
which he declares that it is the right
of the King to direct the govern
ment and policy of Prussia in accor-
dance with his own judgment, and
that no doubt must be allow to at
tach to his constitutional right, and
that of his successors, to personally
direct the policy of the government.
Representative Springer. who is a
member of the House Committee to
pass upon claims for compensation
for attendance on and service to the
late President, says no excessive bills
will be allowed. Every claimant
will be required to give "a written
guarantee that he or she will accept
the amount allowed 10y Congress in
full for all services, and will release
the estate from all liability.
Dispatches from st. Petersburg,
state that news reached the Govern
msnt at Yakutak, Eastern Siberia,
that on the 14th of September, three
natives of Oulous, near Cape Bara-
bay, 140 versts north of Cape Bilkoff,
discovered a boat containing eleven
men, who stated that they belonged
to the Jeanette and had undergone
terrible sufferings. On hearing the
the district deputy Governor,
with a doctor and medicines, was
Immediately dispatched to help the

AN amusing incident is recorded by the Los Angeles Herald as having Oc- cured at a railroad accident on the Col orado dessert, at Sweetwater station, several weeks ago. On this train was a large and choice consignment of liquors, consigned tO a saloon in Arizona. As this train was pretty well demolished, the whisky barrels and boxes of cham pagne were turned out pell-nell. The violence of the shock started the slaves of the barrels fresh from 'Old kentuck, and the bouquet of the well distilled corn soon drew a host of admirers. The same shock also rolled champagne bot ties out of their light packing. An lrlshman came upon the scene, with bottle, filed 1t from a leaking barrel and realized that he had no cork. To think and tO act were one with him. He stopped and picked up a bottle of Louis ROedercr, smashed 1t to flinders, rescued the cork, and whittled it to the requisite size with his pocket knife, thus securing a bottle of Robertson county whisky, let Us hope. The unfOr- tunate agent of Wells, Fargo < Co. saw the champagne Uttered around and rdp- idly disappearing, and captured some SIX or seven bottles, which he drank, with some boon companions, thinking that 1t vas a case of devil take the hind most. The surprise of this enterprising youth was great when he learned that the Southern Pacific Railway had pre- scented bIll for S2,GOO to Wells, Fargo < O., which Mir. Valentine promptly paid, based on the consumption of those seven bottles. His surprise was not les seued q whit when Wells, Fargo x Co. notified him that they had laid him or for a month. He promptly replied that if he were to be laid oh for a month he was laid off for good, and the affair at once took that sSape. He had had a situation waiting for him for some time past in Adams Express Company East, and he is now filling the blll.

 The cargo of the ship Lady Lisgar which arnyei Thursday afternoon, addl ed to the rails already on hand, will make the supply sufficient to lay over iJJ niles of track. Ihe cargOes of the Duke of Argyle and Alumina, now atiOat and nearly due, will be ample to con- plete the connection with the Southern Pacific at Clron the whole distance from National city to Colton being within a fra ,tiJu Or l2S miles. The tracklayers are now oyeT forty miles from the start ing point, which k in thc vicinity of the bridge that crosses San Luis Rev river. This structure Is tine culy one of any size to be encountered on the remainder of the route It may cause a delay for a day or two; after which there will be more rapid work until the big Tenn JGla canyon is reached. Here operations will "s.ow up" a little, bat We anticipate d steady advance every day, after the holidays are over until the connection IS made At the beginning of the new year there will be about eighty miles of track to lay. At the rate of haif a mile per day, the track will be completed m ninety days-the 1st of April. At thTee-guarters Of a udle per day, it will only require sixty days, or until the first of March. The Osceola and Pettingill, now ai!oat and nearly due from New York, will bring an additional supply of locomotives, passenger cars, etc. completing tine supply of rolling stock. So it will be seen (barring acci- dents) that everything will be in readi- ness, within few days after the last spike k drven, to put the entire road in operation, which will place San Diego, over tRo routes, in connection with the great railway system of the United States
