The A. & P. Railroad.

We clip the subjoined news item
in relation to the course of the AT.
lantic & Pacific Railway from the
San Bernardino Inde1, OF the 23rd
instant:
We had a pleasant chat last
evening at the Southern hotel,
with Mr.. Drum, the locating en-
gineer of the a. & z. II. r. He
left this morning for Hawley's Sta
ton, on the Mojave, to which
point he has located tn lire from
the Colorado River. He goes out
now with Instructions to run a new
line from the Colorado, with
Bakersfield as it's objective point,
"a nearly direct as the topography
of the country will permit, the
company desiring q more direct
line than the one now located
This new survey will, Mr.. Drum
informs US, put the line considera-
bly, farther north, through the
Trojan Mining District. This new
move of the company in THE coun-
ty, taken in connection with other
movements, plainly shows the in
tention of the company to get as
direct a line as possible, with
view to thorough business, letting
the local business take care of
itself, or be supported by feeders.
Mr.. Drum understands the inten-
tion of the. company to be to crowd
the foid Though as rapidly as men
and money will build it. 1t took
twelve four-horse teams to haul
out the supplies and camp equip

visions for three months, by which
time they expect to reach the Col

were casual and intermittent, with

HON. GoDLovE s. ORTIZ, a mem.
Der of Congress from Indiana, it is
alleged, took great umbrage at
Speaker Keifer's constitution If
the Congressional Committees;
and, In consequence, some days
ago, endeavored to get through the
House of Representatives a resolu-
tlon changing the traditional mode
Of making these appointments,
which has vested them in the
Speaker. Personal pique is under
steod to have been the impelling
motive with Mr. Orth. However
that may be, his resolution really

tion. It would seem to be q most
un.Democratio practice to place
such an immense power in the
hands Of single man as is involv-
cd in the constitution, at his pleas
ure, of all committees by the
Speaker. While the House pro.
ceeded to vote Mr.. Orth's motion
down, 1t would, in our opinion,
have done much more wisely to
have passed it. The change would
be Q salutary one. AS the commit
tees arc now run, under the usages
which have grown up during the
past dfty years, they are simply
autocratic and obstructive. An in
dividual member of Congress
counts for nothing. He has as
much chance of influencing the
course Of legislation, unless be has
powerful co-adJutors on the com.
mittees, as he has of shooting the
Falls OF Niagara successfully in a
canoe. There Is vile faint Of the
elose-borough and star-chamber
about the whole system. Innova-
tions, adopted originally to expe-
dite business, have been piled,
stratum upon accumulated strata,

AT no time are the myrmidoDs
of the Republican party--a subsi-
died gang-so delighted as when
they can sit up on their launches
and yell "Beurbon" at an honest
Democrat. AZ matter of fact,
the "macbine" Republican OF to.
day means psmpered thief, with
. cellar round his neck, who is de-
lighted at a badge of servitude
which enables him to share in the
pickinss and stealings of God
and Morality administration-in
other words, who is delighted to
know that, though Garfield lies
moulderiDg in the grave, he is
permitted to be o slave of Arthur,
and to rejoice in that thrift which
follows fswning. What man, with
the due allotment of red corpus
cles In his veins, but would stand
aloof from place and power forever
rather than be identified with such
an unclesn crew, even though by
doing 30 he might hear some cor
rupt minion Of rotten admins
tration yell "Bourbon" in his ears.
The way matters 60 now, any man
with self-respect, not besotted by
Republican prejudice, would de-
light In this term, which Is in the
United States synonymous with
honor and self.respect. Who
would not rather stand outside of
the glare of the White House
chandeliers forever than herd in
the company of many of the
Pariahs who have had the en-.
trance there through their power
and influence in the Republican
party? These vulgarians command
success for the moment; but, as to
the best of them, they are not
nt to black the shoes Of the
people who, in this idiotic classifi-
cation are honored by the mis-
nomer "Bourbon." The true
Bourbon In these United States is
the corrupt, time-serving and ra-
pacious Republican, of admins
tration tendencies, who cannot
realize that, seme time or other,
the people of the United States
will yet get tired of him and spew
him out of their mouths, no matter
how many Southern Common
wealths he may buy or wh eedle,
through o combination of the votes
Of the negro and the Democratic

ONE of the latest wrinkles in the
newspaper business is the publica-
ton OF so-called portraits of distin-
guished public men, with accom-
panying biographies. We observe
that our contemporary, the San
Francisco Evenifg Post, is the
grestest sinner in this line. These
cuts are furnished 10 order by the
type-founders or some other adven.
turous dealers. To begin With, no
matter how personally attractive
the individual thus libeled may
be, Or bow blonde and fair, he is
invariably given brunette and
pirate-like c0untenance. Even
the demi-bloDde has no earthly
show in this remorselesa, Grad
grind way OF serving up the coun.
terfeit pseseutments OF the unfOr-
tunRte victims. We have partic-
ularly noticed the cruel way In
which three statesmen, whose
faces we have personally studied,
have been lately served up, viz,
Hon. Thomas Francis Bayard,
Hon. Timothy o. Howe and Hon.
George II. Pendieton. We care
fully inspected the faces of the
first two when they were members
of the Leet Investigating Commit
tee, which held its sessions in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York
City, about ten years ago. AT that
time Mr.. B yard looked more like
a thin aud ascetic ecclesiastic than
anything else; aud, ss be had then
rounded the foIlies, We presume
that lie has not changed much
since. Neverthelese, be is III ade to
appear, in this patent likeness pro-
cess, as fellow with round face
tand heavy jowla, who looks as II
he might have sat for years at
table with LucalIus or Gambia
ceres, although the tint of his com.
pieXion is wofully darkened-made
70 look as black, ia fact, as that OF
"Black Dann himsslf-the immoi-
/ tai Webster. Now Mr.. Bayard
, may have been transformed into
the heavy villain he is made to
seem like in these newspaper pic
torials, but we doubt it, Then take
poor Timothy Howe, Arthur's
Postm aster- General! He is u pale,
weazened body in life, as white as
aIabaster almost, and yet he is re-
quired to do service as q dark com.
plexioned bandit. The only thing
needed to convert him into q
Greek or Italian brigand would be
one of those blood-curdllng, end
twisted moustaches. Perhaps the
greatest outrage of all has been
perpetrated upon the Democratic
Senator from Ohio, Hon. George
II. Pendleton, Gentleman
George as he has been dubbed
for years. There are few comelier
public men in the whole range of
the United States than Pendleton;
yet, upon loo King at his counterfeit
presentment in the columns of the
Post, we were really at loss as to
whether we ought to set him down
as a "Border Ruffian" of the old
Kansas days, or "cow boyo OF San
Simon or Deming. Either charac-
ter seemed to suit the illustration
admirably. Should this thing
continue, We quite confidently look
for a new line OF libel suits, in
which much heavier damages will
be sought than for mere verbal de-
famation. There is latent pride
of appearance even about male
| biped which revolts at his being
depicted as double dyed villain,
with ali the hideous suggestions of
supposed likeness. And the dam.
ages certainly ought to be exem-
plary.

Tucson, Jan. l2th.-The Tomb
stone Nugget publishes the follow
ing: There was considerable eX-
element on the streets yesterday,
occasioned by the departure from
town yesterday of Wyatt and Nor
gan Eatp, Doe Holiday, Texas
Jack and three of their retainers
whose names we did not learn.
They rode up Allen street, going
east, while the sidewalks were
crowded with throrgs of citizens
speculatng upon their probable
destination. Each Of the horse
men was armed with u shotgun, d
Winchester ritie and two revolvers,
and at least one hundred rounds
of ammunition. Ali sorts OF ru-
mors were rifs on the streets during
the afternoon and evening, but
until 8 O'clock no one knew to a
certainty which direction, after
leaving the city, the horsemen
had taken. AT thatshOur, how
ever, a boy came in from Helms's
ranch, who stated that he met
the carp party fifteen miles from
town, riding hard in the direction
of the ranch. About mile and q
half, behind the Earps was COM
pany of from fifteen TO twenty COW.
boys, all heavily armed, riding fu-
riously in pursuit, with every pros
pect in favor of their soon coming
up with the foremost party. Ii the
boys statements are true, and
there seems no reason to doubt
them, Il bloody combat will surely
be the result. The cowboys, in
addition their we'll known fighting
proclivities are, in this instance,
amin ated by thirst for revenge
and the Earp party is composed of
desperte men who will each fight
to the death. 1t is stated that
they have all been sworn in as
Deputy United States Marshals, in
which case they will have the
color of law under which to act.
The ultimate destination of the
carp party yet remains unknown
to the majority of our citizens.
Some think they went out as a
United States MarshaPs posse
comitatus in search of lawless
characters, while others are of the
opinion that they are making an
attempt to leave the country, the
latter class being in a large ma.
jOrity.

How TO Keen Cut Flowers Fresh.

Almost the first thought that follows
admiration for freshly-picked bouquet
is how it can be preserved tine greatest
length Of time. Many experiments have
been undertaken to prevent flowers from
fading-such as placing salt in the water,
dipping the stems in hot water, or MP
ping them off and applying sealing-wax.
We have tried all methods, and have
come to the conclusion that changing
the water in which the stems are
plunged, frequently, and sprinkling the
flowers hourly will keep them fresh and
fair longer than will other treatment.
The water used should be tepid. The
cooler the temperature Of the apartment
the better. Never leave flowers under
@ s-jet or they will Immediately blight.
The last thing at night change the water
on the stems and sprinkle the flowers
thoroughly. Tie over the vase or bsske,
tissue paper which has been soaked in
water. Over this tuck newspaper. In
the morning the flowers will be found as
fair as the night previous. Roses fade
quicker than most any flowers. Heliotrops
will wilt and blacken with the tenderesl
care. Itshould be nipped from bouquet
as soon as il loses freshness. Lilies,
tulips, Narcissus, Euphorbias, hyacinths,
and all flowers with succulent stems car
be preserved several days.

Long Rows in the Garden.

Works on gardening give plans for
lsying out the ground-certain beds 10

there. This is all well in order to make
the most Of small piece Of ground.
With the farmers garden the case 10
different, as there are few farms where
square rod or two more or less In the
garden is of importance. In such q
garden there should be very few beds,
but all the larger vegetables should DO
placed in long, straight rows, in order
that the working may be done, so far as
practicable with horse cultivator. The
permanent beds, such as those Of rhu-
barb and asparagus. should be near one
another and ut one side Of the land TO be
occupied by the annual crops. In SOW
ing or planting it, the cultivator used
upon the farm is also to dc work in the
garden; this is to be borne in mind In
laying out the rows, which should be at
such distances as will allow Of the pass
age Of the implement In going 10 or
coming from farm work, the cultivator
may often take few turns in the gar
den. Those who have never tried horse
power in the garden will be surprised
az the great help it is in keeping it in
proper order, and il will 60 far TO do

Or Mr.. LoNaFELnow's method when
Professor Of Modern Literature at Har-
ward, DIR. Edward e. Hale, one Of his
pupils, has given this account: Gas it
happened, the regular recitation rooms
Of the college were all in use, and we
met him in sort Of parlor, carpeted,
hung with pictures, and otherwise hand
somely furnished, which was, I believe,
called the Corporation room" We sat
round mahogany table, which was re-
ported to be meant for the dinners Of the
trustees, and the whole affair had the as
pect Of friendly gathering in private
house, in which the study Of German
was the amusement Of the occasion. He
began with familiar ballads, read them
to US, and made us read them to him.
OF course we soon committed them TO
memory without meaning to, and /
think this was probably. part Of his
theory. At the same time we were
learning the paradigms by rote. His
regular duty was the oversight Of five or
more instructors who were teaching
French, German, italian, Spanish and
Portuguese to two or three hundred un.
der graduates. We never knew when he
might look in on recitation and viz
tually conduct it. We were delighted Ia
have him come. We all knew he was O
poet, and were proud to have him in the
college, but at the same time we re-
spected him as o man of affairs"
