WEAKLY WAITING.

Hon. Thomas II. Rooney, receiver of
the land Office, whose resignation has
been accepted, still awaits his successor,
one Thomas Braden, presumably also
an Italian gentleman. Mr.. Rooney does
not appear to be happy. Indeed, his
erstwhile genial and not unhandsome
countenanoe looks darby through a veil
of sepulchral gloom, and melancholy,
like a worm i the bud, preys on his
damask cheek. Mr.. Rooney is a quon-
dam mining superintendent for his
quondam brother-in Law, Senator Fair,
and accustomed, from the apex of q
Nevada mountain peak, to issue his
commands to many men Of many mines
(paraphrasin2 the poet.) His native
stamping ground is on the Rocky range
and his favorite airs, "Silvery Waves
and Golden Showers are Falling
Down." At the land Office desk, pen in
hand, tongue out and incipient lunacy
in his eye, wrestling with the intricate
mysteries Of prescriptions, homesteads,
timber cultures and false oaths. he is
as the feline in for sign mansard and
beside himself ''intoirly." Though a
trifle muscular at clerical duty Mr..
Rooney might have made good officer.
The Journal would be inclined to back
him Al a square man, and the country's
need is square men. But who would
wrestle, in strange parts, with the petty
cares of picayune land Office, when at
home palatial balls yawn and $3.50
night shirts beckon? Go, Mr.. Rooney,
and God be with you!-W. W. Journal.

him swiftly to the fatal door through
which no pig ever returns. On the

there was splash. He had fallen head

unseen machinery passad him along
swiftly to the other end of the terrible
bath, aud there water wheel picked
him up and flung him ont on to a
slopina counter. Here another machine
seized him, and with one revolution
scrapcd him as bald a. q nut. And
down the counter he went, losing his

Accident o. the Southern Pae tie
several PerSsns Killed.
SAN fRAScTsco, Aug. 9.-An accident
occurred on the Southern Pacific Rail-
road at Lancaster, seveuty-six miles
from Los Angeles, last SATURDAY.. in
which several persons were severely and
one probably fatally hurt. The Los An
Reles Times of Sunday says that the ac-
cident was caused by the grossest care
leSness, and the only wonder ia thar
every person on the fated car was not
either killed or MANNED for life. II
seems that the train stopped a. usual at
Lancaster, and the engine aud freight
cars went ahead to switch. The grade
10 very heavy just beyond the station,
and the freight cars. many of them from
Eastern roads, were all heavily loaded.
For all Of this train there was bat one
brakeman on duty, and az soon as the
train vas about half way up the grade,
about four hundred yards from the pas
senRer car, the pressure became too
great, the brakes gradually gave vay.
and, despite the sxertions of the brake
man, all tbs cars we're soon in motion
and rushing down on the passenger car,
gaining In speed every moment. The
passenger car was crowded to its utmost
capacity, and when the freight cars
struck il nearly one was thrown down,
but, strange to say, the car remained on
the track. Everything was, of course,
thrown into confusion, and bat few es-
capped without severe bruises. A Mr..
Ryan was probably the most seriously
hart, having sustained internal injuries.
A lady was thrown violently against a
seat, her head battered and her shoulder
badly wounded. Another man had one
eau partly torn Of, and many other
bruises and wounds. Several were
Knocked senseless. The accident was in
many respects similar to that at Tehach-
api. and was only by seeming miracle
less disastrous. II is stated that all the
train hands ON board were practically
incapacitated for work. having remained
up all the preceding night at a ball at
Mojave.
