It is claimed that senator Surnne,
will introduce in the present Congress
a bill on the subject of a postal tele.
graph. 1t provides for fourth assis-
tant postmaster general to take charge
of the service who is to be an electri.
clan. Bonds to the amount of sa5,-
100000 bearing 3 per cent to run
thirty years and to be redeemable in
twenty years are to be issued to con-
struct new lines of telegraph under
the directions of the Postmaster Cen
eraL. And work on the new line is to
commence simultaneously at different
parts of the country. On this coast
the places named are Portland, Yreka
Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Ange-
les and San Diego. 1t is to be open
ed fifty miles at line, and any COM
nunity desiring to connect with lines
first built may do so. and if their lines
are built as required by the Postmaster
General, are when completed to be &C
cepted and paid for by him. The
rates to be charged on such lines are
ten cents for the first ten words and
five cents for each additional ten words
and press dispatches all over the Uni
ted States IS twenty cents for each
one hundred words. This bill seems
to be meritorous one and seems to
require about what is needed in this
line. That the telegraph system
should be operated by the government
as means of transmitting news and
extending the business of the country.
is hardly questioned any longer by
anyone except it be those interested
IN the telegraphic monopolies. If the
government was operating system
of this kind it would hardly be possible
to have strike like the one a few
months ago which had the effect for a
time to paralyze the business of the
country. 1t such was the telegraphic
system of the country every newspaper
In the land could afford to take and
pay for the latest dispatches in large
quantities and thus every reader of a
newspaper by taking one paper could
see the latest dispatches, besides the
business interests of the country would
be much advanced and improved by
such system. Much of the business
to-day at the exceeding high rates is
done by telegraph and if the facilities
proposed in this bill was in operation
it would afford many business men an
opportunity of using it which now can
not afford to pay the high rates. |

be far better than any ever invented.

The Pacific Coast members of Con-
gress including Senators Dolph and
Slater, Representatives George, Rose
Grams, Sumner, Glasscock, Pudd,
Henley, Tully and Cassidy, with Sen
ator Miller presiding, held a meeting
last Friday to consider and adopt
some uniform understanding as to the
work for this coast in the present ses-
sion of Congress. The main question
under consideration was the frauds
and impositions perpetrated against
the Chinese restriction bill by the Chi
nese government. A committee con-
sisting of Senator Dolph, Representa-
ties Henly anil CASSIDY, were ap-
pointed to draft a suitable bill he pro-
posed to introduce at the same time in
both houses on the subject. Other
matters were only discussed in a cas-
ual way.

The Pacific coast Senators and
Representatives in Congress are de-
cidedly of the opinion that the presi-
dents late message does sufficiently
condem the acts of the government
officers of China in issuing fraudulent
certificates in violation Of the Chinese
restriction act. 1t is claimed that a
strenuous bill will soon be introduced
to deal with the question.

Watching the operations Of the snake for

that the reptile was in quest of the same

gun Of William brought it wriggling TO
the ground, when il was found that the
snake bore nine rattles, and was, Of I'M

An Improved Photographic Pro-
cess.

A description is given of new French
process for obtaining Photographic inl-
ages SO as to have a positive impression
from positive plate, and a negative
print from a negative orr inal. This
process is based, it seems, on the fact of
the easy reduction Of soluble bi.chro-
mates mixed with certain organic SUBJ
stances, and the relative insolubiIity of
bi.chromate of silver. Suitable paper ia
covered with a solution OF two grains Of
bl-chromate of ammonia, and fifteen
grains of sugar, dissolved in one hundred
ofwater, and e exposed. when dry, to light
under positive; as soon as The
yellow paper becomes gray. it is re-
moved, and immersed in one per cent.
silver bath, to which 10 per cent of acct.
ic acid has been added. The image i'm.
mediate!y appears of a ruddy hue, due
to the bichromate of silver. The print.
on being washed, retains the red inn.
preston Of the insoluble bichromate.
which becomes dark brown on ex.
posture to sunlight, and. on dipping the
print in a solution of sulphate Of copper
and potash, it becomes black.

TnE SOLO.

lgaze on tho blazoned windows,
Tue columns ashy and cold,
The fretted groinings and arches,
The ceiling of azure aud gold.
The organ shudders and mutters
Like monster dying in pain
The chorus has walled Its parting,
Lamenting, AMI repenting in vain.
Then out of the sadness rises
An angel whose wings are furled:
You lit YOUR voice in the solo,
And I fly from stricken world.
traverse the shining oceans
Where melody rims tho skies,
And l pass the islands Of glory;
And the headlsnds Of l,atadise:
You bear me-, 1 care not whittier;

For toll and grief are forgotten,
And life is q heavenly thing.

Fol- my soul has returned to earth.

Which blaaches the face of mirth.

nc1o1ne an Eagles Nest.

FROM the Pail Mall a.zette,
When he got to the "pond," as the
plate where the eyrie is built is locally
known, he found that fortune had fav.
ored him in this, that neither of the
old birds was at home; but at the same
time he found that it would be diff
cult matter to get at the nest. Imme-
diately above the "poad" was a great
ledge of rock, which completely over
lung the eyrie; so that the cragsman,
suspended in the air on the same level
as the nest, found himself still ten or
twelve feet from it. He at once sig.
nailed to those above to be hauled
up to this ledge, and that
having been done he eau.

A Refractory Audience.

A very sad thing occurred at a late
performance given at Laramie City. At
the close Of the last act one OF the Or Il
cipal performers is instantly killed. 1t
is then the duty Of the audience to rise,
pick up its umbrella and walk home.
Sometimes, however, the audience is
not familiar with the play an doe not
60 home. 1t waits for more death and
carnage before its awful thirst for blood
is glutted.
That was the case at Laramie two
weeks ago. The stage hired man. who
hauls the dead off into the dressing room,
waited patiently, but the people wouli
not 90. In order to get the full value of
their dollar they desired to see the post
mortem examination. They could 40:
90 home until it had been settled that
the william was fully and thoroughly
dead.
There lie lay with his ear against kerr.

and the audience absolutely refusing to 20
and allow the man to revive or to re-

pole, failed to come down, and the legs
Of the avenyer and other members of
the troupe fitted past the space left by
the unruly curtain, and the dead william
lay on his back, having yielded up his
life four times that same week, in the
same manner, beside carrying the heavy
trunks of the beautiful actress IN two
flights Of stairs for her in three different
towns.
As there was no programme people
looked at each other AMI wondered.
They knew that this man was undoubt-
eddy dead. but whether the comps ny
had a fresh one or not as the question.
FINALLY two adult members of the
troupe came forward and pulled down
the refractory curtain. Then the man
| ager advanced to the front Of the stage

said:
