The Associated Prels agent cllmly and
without any appearance of passion, rises
TO remark that Mr. Blaine slept late yes
terday morning and afterward breakfasted
in his " room. In explanation Of this
rather startling statement the dis
patch goes on to remark, obvi-
ously a. 4 partial explanation OF
the reason for the late rising, that Mr..
Blaine had been busily engaged the pre-
yious evening, which superinduced weari-
ness and even fatigue, and this as 2
rather natural sequence led to the great
statesman's lisinclination to arise when
the barnyard fowl is usually in the nabit OF
commencing his matutinal concert
The gentleman VIZ writes the dis
patches regarding Mr.. Blaine seems
somewhat given TO entering into the
details of things. 1t will be observed
however, that while he speciical v
states that Mr.. Blaine arose
late and that he dined in tn,
privacy Of his own chamber
he is still kind enough TO allow something
for the imagination Of his readers to sup
ply, He does not condescend to stat,
what the great man ate upon the occasion
Of his late rising, nor does he even hint
that what he did eat agreed or disagreed
with him. To some people this may APP
pear like an lnpardonable oversight,
but as for ourselves We are disposed 70
lear up under the circumstances with a
becoming degree Of resignation.
We may be mistaken, but we do not be

we are open TO conviction on this Point,

Poisoning SquaWs.
Carson Tribune.

Assistant Adjutant General Fl. G..
Parker left this morning with arms
and ammunition for Mason Valley,
where the Indians are assuming a very
defiant and war-like attitude against
the whites. 1t appears that number
of squaws haverecently died suddenly
and under very suspicious circum-
stances, and the Indians accuse the
Misner family of poisoning them.
The squaws who died had been en-
ployed at Mr.. Misner's ranch, but
those who knew the family declare
that they are above suspicion. In a
letter to Governor Adams, Hook
Mason states that he considers the
situation very serious, and thinks the
Misner family in danger Nels Ham
mOnd, superintendent at the Walker
Lake Reservation, writes that the In
dams are gathering for consultation,
and that they appear to be greatly ex-
cited. He has warned the whites OF
Mason Valley to be on the lookout.
Senator John B. Gallagher and almost
every citizen of Mason Valley signed
the petition to Governor Adams for
the arms and ammunition. The Gov
errors Instructions to General Parker
are that he shall investigate the mat
ter, and if he finds the circumstances
require such action, he shall turn the
arnas over to Smith 6 Branan, at Pizen
Swith, to be used by the settlers,
otherwise they are to be returned to
the seat of government.

THE drouth on the Pacific coast,
which has recently caused apprehen-
sion for the crops, has happily been
relieved in large degree by the rains
Of the last few days. The rainfalls re-
ported by the government weather OBJ
servers since the LIST ult. amount to
from 2.22 to 2.86 inches at Washing
ton Territory and Oregon stations. At
Sacramento the fall between the 1st
and 28th ult. was 2.O2 inches, at San
Francisco 1. Sc inches, and at Los An
celos 10 inches. These late rains are
far from being sufficient to make up
for the deficiencies OF precipitation on
the Pacific coast during the last two
months. But they afford temporary
relief for the growing crops. The de
fciency in this seasons rains cannot
be regarded as a sign of any climatic
change. Ithas long been said by those
acquainted with the climate Of Cali
fornia that there are about seven good
years for agricultural purposes out of
ten, ard this is more than can be said
of many great growing regions.
So extreme is the variability of the
climate in respect to it's pluvial phe-
nomena, that during the interval from
1850 to 1872 the annual rainfall rang
ed at San Francisco from IA to 1927
inches. But the experience through
which California is nowpassing should
impress on the people the necessity
for an extension of their already large
system Of artificial irrigation.

ASBESTOS IN its purest form has re
Gently been discovered in almost I'M
limited quantities Ia Canada. The
fbres are described as long, white,
flexible, and rs fine as silk. Large
amounts of asbestos have been mined
IN the last two years In ThetfOrd and
Coleraine, Megantic County, and it is
claimed that that country has produc-
ed more of the article than the tota
output of the world during the sa m
time. Wolfe County also has several
large mines which are to be operated
next year by English capitalists. All
these mines raferred to are situated
within a short distance of the Quebec
Central Railway, offering good facili-
ties for shipping. The mineral is taken
to Quebec, where it is crushed and
cleaned, aud thence sent to England.
Among the many uses for asbestos is
the manufacture of paper which is
indestructible by fire. This has been
successfully accomplished in France,
as well as the discovery of an indeli-
bic ink with which to write on the
paper. The manufacture of this paper
alone will prove of immense benefit
in case of fire, as all important docu-
ments can be drawn up on it. TIE
weaving of asbestos cloth is also likely
to be extensive, as well as other textile
fabrics, such as gloves, table linen,
etc. The article is also extensively
used in fre-proof paint, fre-proof
roofing, for packing safes, and fo1
iston-rods in steam engines.
