Schiltz, the one-legged, bullet-pierc.

The Grant family have finally
decided on the exact locality of the
burial Of the Generals remains.
Riverside Park, just north of Cen
trail Park, New York. has been
selected The site overlooks the
Hudson river and is much more re-
tired than Central Park. The APP
parent willingness of the family of
General Grant to have his tomb
made a conspicuous feature in a
city's public pleasure-ground, for the
mere sake Of ostentatious show,
argues u lamentable defect in jUdg-
ment. The decision appears to be
final, and yet very many thoughtful
American people still hope that
wiser counsels will ultimately
change it. The proper place for
the tomb Of General Grant is at the
national capital.

THE profits to Mrs. Grant from

A DELUDED organ of the Prohibit
tionists speaks of Kentucky and Ar
kansas as two of the temperance
banner States of the South" Any
observing person who has visited or
travelled through either of those two
States within a twelvemonth will
have very poor opinion of the state
and the prospects Of the temperance
cause in the South, if those two
whiskey-soaked States are a fair in
dex. Somebody with more "gush"
than knowledge is sadly deceiving
the Northern temperance reformers
in regard to the existence and prog
ress of prohibitory sentiment in
that section of the country.

WINsLow.-Geo. D. Mills, the train master, takes a passenger run on ,he California Southern R.
 Frank Hicks has been painting his house and store, and they now look as nice and pretty as a new spring bonnet.
 MT. I. N. Homer. who has been train master of tine first and second divisions, has been transferred, and now looks after the crews between WInslow and The Needles.
 H. R. Burroughs, the train dis. patcher, has qlit. MT. Dodge, the mountain conductor from Williams, relieves him for short time until an other man can be secured to take the place permanently.
 Mir. Demorest hopes to have every thing around the new hotel in readi- ness to throw it open to the public this week, and not later than the fore part of next week, at the outside. Ii anyone should say that thus is not a nice hotel while in Winslow, there would be trouble, as we all feel proud of it, and old "Doc," too.
 Messrs. Wood, Chamberlain and TopIey, the three passenger conduc- tor between Winslow and Needles, have handed in their resignationG) and Messrs. Hennessy, Tineor and Pegram take their places. The two former gentlemen are from the land of Montezmna, but Pegram--wcll, everybody knows "Old Bill"
 J. x. Woods, who has been the master mechanic here for the past three years, has asresigned and taken an engine on the road. This move was made through an economical policy, and not on account of incompetency, as MT. Woods is thorough in his busi- ness. Mir. M. S. Webb, from Stock ton. California, takes the place vaca. ted by MT. Woods. MT. w. seems just as nice as X. w.. socially. and II is hoped that he will administer to boys in the motive power department the same justice and hold them down to the same discipline that Mir. Woods did.

 The road to the Grand Canon from Flagstaff is in capital condition for travelling. Many people imagine that because there is so little travel on il the road will be found in rough condition and difficult to trace, bu, this is mistaken idea. There is a good sound bottom road all the way and no steep ascents or declivities.
 MT. H. R, Burroughs, who has for long time been train dispatcher al Winslow, has resigned his position, much to the regret Of all the employees of the road. MT, Burroughs was one of the most efficient railroad men on the A. & P, and by his thorough knowledge of railroad business and courteous corduct, he earned the es- teem of all the people he came in contact with.
 The Aver party returned from their visit to the Grand Canon on Saturday evening last, and on Manday went out to the petrfed forest. On Thurs day they returned to Flagstaff and attaching their private car to Mana. ger Robinson's special train, the party moved eastward and homeward. Among Mr. E. E. Ayers guests was MT. Stone, general manager of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road.
 Mir, John N. Berry, of this town. will shortly open branch house at Kingman, and Dan Coakley will go down to look after the business, and dispense strong drinks in the latest fall and winter styles to the Inhabi tants of that thriving village. Ar. Ccakley IS one of the most popular men on the line of the A. & P. road, and 20 wherever he may he will carry the good wishes of a host of friends with him. There are some men here that could be spared with great deal more satisfaction, but they wont go. Flagstaff people will be very sorry to part with the genial Dan, and when ever his luminous countenance shows up again, he will meet with hearty welcome.

Railroad washouts.

There has been considerable trouble with washouts west of the Needles. Terrific rains have come down be- tween Mohaye and San Fronisco. There has also been heavy rains be- tween Dlggett and Needles. The Southern Pacific track is badly washed out for 50 miles between Lathrop and Tulare. It is also washed out between Sumner and Pampas. The Southern California bridges are also in trouble, and there is reported to be bad land slide in one of the cuts. Altogether it looks as if traffic on the .A. & P. may be considerably delayed in the next few days.
