Stage Driving in California.

The skill of the drivers in the down
ward drives is something wonderful. The
roads are a continuous succession of the
letter s., winding in and out about the
heads of gulches. in many places the
turn being so sharp as to let the three
teams of horses form the three sides of it.
They are also rough and rutty at this sea
son of the year, and at the rapid motion
the toughest places must be avoided.
The driver, on his high seat, with his
six lines and long whip in hand, and one
foot on the brake, with the other rs a
brace on the foot board, appears to have
as perfect control of the whole turnout as
if it was a puppet. He will throw those
| six horses from one side of the road to
the other to straddle a rut or avoid a
stone as if they were one animal. Some
times the hub will scrape the bank on
| the upper side, and the next instant the
wheels will be on the very verge on the
down side. When approaching q sharp
corner and ones impulse is to slow down,
crack will go his whip, and We dash
around it like a gust of wind. The reins
seem to be nerves, or living tissues, o
veying the drivers thoughts, and their
pulses beat and their hearts throb in
unison.
An accident seldom happens with those
drivers, for extreme caution, coupled
with absolute control of their team and
vehicle and perfect knowledge of the laws
of stage motion, governs all their seats.
They are compelled to make rapid pro-
gress down hill to compensate for the
slower motion up, and they have learned
by experience all its safeguards and prac-
tice them. One driver will make this
drive of seventy-iive miles into the noun
tains one day and back again the next
every day of his life, until he knows every
turn and rut and stone on the line, and
his sinews are as strong as the lash of his
whip.

GEN. SHERMAN.
The Commander of the Army on a
Farewell Tour Previous To Re
tirement-His Visit at
Fort Porter.

The commander of the United States
army, Gen. w. II. Sherman, left Wash.
ington OF Wednesday on what is in all
probability his last tour through the
United States previous to his retirement
from active service this fall. Gen.
Sherman arrived in this city yes
terday, having come through direct from
Washington oyer the Lehigh Valley
railroad. He was accompanied as usual
by Maj. Gen. John G. Tidball, of his
staff. At The Genesee, Gen. Sherman
met Justice Gray, Of the United State,
supreme court, and, taking the carriage,
the trio were driven to Fort Porter,
where they were welcomed by 1t. Col.
Henry II. Miner and the officers of the
post in full uniform. The customary
salute of seventeen guns was fired.
The party arrived at the post at about
1890, and after an hour at lunch the
general took a look at the ruins of the
old fort, made n or two Of his ~favorite

TRANSFERS
They Want Better Weather, Steadier
Work and More Pay.

Some of the teamsters of the city have
of late had q streak of bad luck, the
weather being greatly against them, the
rain preventing them from working much
of the time, and little dashes of shower,
causing bosses to dock them for every
hour lost thereby. They then claim that
the pay is too small, and, in fact, that
they do not have a fair show for a living.
They have embodied their feelings in a
petition, and are talking of holding a
meeting soon to air their grievances fur
Their, and see what relief car be had.
The following is the petition drawn up:
"We, the undersigned, teamsters of
Council Bluffs, Iowa, cannot dress our
children fit for school, church or society,
feed our wives, keep clothes on our backs
and prevent our poor teams from starv-
ing with the pay now received by us for
ourselves and teams. We get but two
or three days work in a week On account
of bad weather, and but four or five
months in a year. We are therefore
forced to ask of you better pay or we will
be compelled to leave this city to find
work elsewhere"

A woMAN's EXPERIENCE.

Mrs. William Downes, Of uxbridge, Mass, writes

see. II is understood that in converse
ton he seemed even more jovial and
voluble than is his wont. Among other
matters he intimated that the United
States infantry would be ordered west in
September, probably to Fort Ceur
d'Alene, Idaho, or some other point on
the northwestern frontier, possibly to
some post yet to be established. The
Importance to be attached to this hint is
very small indeed, in view of the fact that
the appropriation for the fiscal year from
July LIST next to July 1, 1884, is said ON
the highest authority to be so much re-
duced for all purposes that little if any
funds will be available for the movement
of troops except in case of the utmost
necessity. This being the case, it seems
likely that Buffalo win not lose the pres.
ent garrison at Fort Porter, at least until
after July l, 1884.
