PROGRESS IN SIAM.-Among the na-
tions of the far East the land of the White
Elephant, was not the last to feel the i'm.
pulse of Caucasian progress. To some ex-
tent Siam responded to the influence. Her
old sailing craft gave place to ships on the
European model, steamers were subse-
quently introduced, machinery was en-
ploy ed in the rice mills, some of the ltx.
uries of the West were introduced into the
houses of the nobility, and the army was
partly remodeled and re-armed. But here
Siamese progress ended; alike INCIDENT
and Indifferent, the ruling class care
nothing for the material prosperity of the
country SO long as the taxes can be col.
lected and the means procured for the en-.
joyment Of sybaritic pleasures by the no.
bility. Thus it was that even project for
connecting Siam with the outside world by
telegraph languished, and was deferred for
years thus it is that the railway finds no
place in the plains of Siam. Spite, how.
ever, of the more than apathy of the Siam.
ese Government, the telegraph will very
shortly be an accomplished fact in Siam,
and Bangkok be placed in communication
with the great capital and marts of the
world. And so, in time, it may be years,
the railway will also traverse the country
of the White Elephant, to the great in
crease Of its trade and the promotion of it's
already enormous rice cultivating industry.

DEMING, November 2d-The report of the

inquiry was made, extending over several
weeks, to confirm this astonishing charge.
Nearly every day merchants and contra
bandists from both slopes of the Sierra

CHICAGO, November 21.-A Washington
correspondent of the Inter Ocean telegrsphs
az follows Information relative to the per-
sonal habits of the fugitive, Major Nicker-

grave doubts exist as to his sanity. For years
ne has been slave to the habit of taking
morphine in subcutsneous injections and in
prodigious quantities. 1t is learned from
persons intimately associated with him that
he was a constant gambler and spent practi-
cslly every night till broad daylight for years
at poker or faro. He would wind up series
of such nights by nervous attack 80 acute
that he frequently injected SO much morphine
with his own hand for relief that he would
fall insensible and be brought home in an un-
conscious condition. With reference to Lena
Carter, who is now occupying Nickerson's
property, it trsnspires that lots of sympathy
has been wasted on her. She knew Mrs.
Nickerson well, and was entertained by the
latter at the Majors request at various times
for years. A letter, such as no respectable
woman would be likely to write to 8 married
man. mas been found, which throws new light
upon the relations of the two. 1t is from
Lena Carter to Msjor Nickerson, dated two
months before he received the fraudulent di-
vorce from his wife. Nickerson first met
Lena Carter at Salt Lake nine years ago.

The Mormon Blight
New YORK, November 2d.-The Press,
quoting Cannon, who affects to believe that
Mormon polygsmy gained rather than lost
strength by means of the Act of March, 1858,
says: The Government should now adopt
the most aggressive policy with the Mormon
iniquity, and Congress should enact and the
officers of the nation should enforce such
laws as may be necessary for the removal of
the shame of Utah. Cannon says the 137.-
0c0 Mormons of the Territory are now all
taking the side of polygamy. As there are
more than 80 900, 900 on the other side of the
controversy, there ought to be no doubt as to
the result of the conflict.
