THE NEW SOUTHERN NAVY YARD,
Port Royal Agreed Upon by Naval onfcers
as the Best Location.

NEW York, March e0.-The Times
says: It is learned that the Board of
Naval Officers detailed TO examine
Southern cities for the best location for
new navy yard are pretty well agreed
on Port Royal, and in consequence
Port Royal is being studied in a very
thorough manner by those who are
aware Of this fact.
Appointment naval officer;said yester-
day that for convenience of water ap-
proach and harbor security Port Royal
was well adapted for navy yard, but
in his opinion it was anything but an
advantageous position for such pur-
pose. This seems to be the opinion
also Of several other naval officers OF
prominence. The main point argued
against Port Royal is its lack of rail-
road communications, and for a navy
yard the existence of rapid transit lines
having terminus on the government
ground is absolutely essential. New
Orleans seems to be in great favor with
those who are in position to speak
understandingly of what is really
needed.

A Silver Wagon Road.
T From the Philadelphia Press. I

From the Philadelphia Press.
"You may talk about nickel-plated
railroads." said Vice-President L. T.
Stanley, Of Walnut street, "but what
do you think of solid silver wagon
road? The Horseshoe Mine, in Colora-
do, has one, although when it was built
they didn't know it would pan out
that way. They had to have road
from their mine, a distance of three
miles, over which heavy loads were to
be drawn. They took the rock that
had been taken from the shafts they
were sinking, and which lay around in
the way, and rnacadamized the road
all the way through. The wagons
passing over the road ground the rock
down. One day they had g heavy
rainstorm, and when things got dry
again after the rain the wind blew the
dust off the road, and all through the
road-bed, every which way, they could
see big streaks of silver. Well, maybe
they didn't collar on 10 the rest of that
loose rock that lay around those shafts!
They sent away lot of it to be assayed,
and when the report came back they
found that their roadbed was worth
$500 ton. 1t was little expensive to
drive over, but they had to have the
road, and I suppose they've got it yet,
if their mines have held out"

Physicians Form a Trust,

From Bonham (Texas,) Special
A few days ago five or six doctors in
the vicinity ofwindom, a village in the
eastern part Of the county, formed
themselves into an association and
raised the price on their services. Last
night the citizens held an indignation
meeting to protest against such pro-
ceedings and to take steps towards
importing an M. D. who could offer
his services at a reasonable rate. One of
the physicians who had joined the
Trust appeared before the citizens and
offered his services at a price lower
than the scale agreed upon by the
Association if the people would bestow
all the custom upon him. This made
the citizens wrathy, and it was only by
strenuous efforts on the part of some of
the cooler heads that the physician was
saved from summary vengeance.

BrRmNeEAM. A1a., March 90, 1885,
About ope year ago the minority stock
hol5><s ofthe Memphis and Charleston
Railroad filed a petition in the Chancery
Court at Huntsville, Ala, praying for
an injunction restraining the stock
holders of the East Tennessee. Virginia
and Georgia Railroad from voting the
stock Of tfc former road. The petition
was filed and the Injunction granted
about thirty days before the annual
meeting Of The stockholders of the
Memphis and Charleston road.
The petition and allegations Of the
plaintiffs set forth that the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad had been
leased to and operated by the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia road to the
injury of the stockholders of the former
road. It also alleged, that The stock
holders Of the Last Tennessee. Virginia
apd Georgia road had bought up stock,
anticipating the annual meeting of
stockholders, until they secured a bare
majority. The bill further alleged that
the stock held by the East Tennessee.
Virginia and Georgia company was
mortsaged to the Central Trust Com
pany of New York, and that therefore
under the law that company could not
vote it. The bill further alleged that
under the law the East Tennessee COM
pany could not vote the stock of the
Memphis and Charleston road, and
that the lease which they expected to
renew was in violation of the charter of
the road.
In December last the case was argued
before Chancellor Cobhs, in this city,
on demurrers filed by the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia company.
Some of the best. legal talent in the
country was engaged and the argument
consumed more than a week. Chan
cellor Cobbs has had the case under ad-
Visenent since that time, the briefs and
papers IN the case requiring weeks for
examination.
In his decision Chancellor Cobbs sus-
talns every point made in the petition
of the plaintiffs. He holds that while
one corporation may own the stock of
another, they have no right to vote it
under the law of Alabama. The Chan
cellor also decided that the control of
the Memphis and Charleston road by
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia is violation of the charter of
the former road.
1t is reported here that this decision
will result in the fling of several SINH
lar suits against the Richmond Termi-
nal company and other railroad COM
panies seeking to obtain control of all
smaller roads in the South.

The Last Texas Buffalo.
From a San Antonio Special

From San Antonio Special.]
"While on a recent visit to the
DEVILS Run country" said George
Fulton, jr., prominent ranchmap, II
saw buffalo head which had been
killed so recently that, although ex-
posed to the action of the elements, the
hair was still on it, and I believe that,
excepting possibly a half-dozen head in
Charles Goodnight's panhandle pas
ture, the last Texas buffalo has been
slain. Ten years ago they roamed the
West in thousands, and to-day there is
not one left. They were totally exter-
minated, or believed to have been
totally exterminated, about 1882, and
for six years thereafter not one was
seen in the DEVILS River region. Re-
Gently, however, a cowboy in riding
the range saw one. 1t was an old bull
which had evidently nearly reached
the bufalo's age limit. He was seen
on the enormous divide between the
Colorado River and the Rio Grande,
which is really the backbone of Wes-
tern Texas. He was browsing in lone
ly grandeur on the side of grassy hill.
He had not seen one of bis kin for half
a decade. Anxious to deserve the
name of Staying the last now kept as a
trophy on the ranch. The old bull is
described as an animal of tremendous
size and had very fine coat. 1t is
more than likely that each and all of
the herd which he formerly led met
the death which overlook him after
years of solitude.

DAYS OF THE ARGONAUTs.
The Times When IIour Was Worth AL
most l is Weight in Gold.
iEOstOn rTcanscI.int.l


A well-known Eostonian, one of the
'forty-niners," who was a participant
in the fierce race for gold which so
stirred the United States forty years
ago, writes us apropos of the statement
ofthe Los Angeles correspondent, that
in the newly developed gold region of
Lower California S. is the price readily
paid for ffty-pound sack of fouE-and
gives some figures from esmasgWn ex-
perience 10 showan6aas the largo
nauts' hSd aapay for provisions. In
t5easpfing of 80 he travelled from
s6Faham Bar, near Rattlesnake Bar,
on the middle Yuba Ever. Califor-
mia, "afoot and alone, as Paddy went
to Dublin" 10 Little Deer Creek, since
Nevada City, distance of sixteen
miles, and paid 500 for tifty-pound
sack of flour, and backed it to Graham
Bar that afternoon. This anecdote he
relates to temper The statement that a
new 'A9 has dawned from Enseneda.
Any one who can remember the rush
for the mines forty years ago, or has
heard one who witnessed it tell of it,
will always accept with large allow
ance the story that it is being repeated
in this or that newly developed dis
trict. In the stirring days of the ;'gold
fever" the blood of the whole nation
seemed bubbling with excitement, as
the thirst for gold became fercer and
fercer. Men left shops, and counting
houses, and Offices, and rushed for the
clippers that were advertised to carry
gold-seekers round the Horn. The
scenes on sailing days are said by old
residents to remind them of a rush for
a harbor steamer on a hot Summer
day. Everybody wanted to goto Cali
fornia, and there was always somebody
late, who cursed the unkind fate that
kept him forever in the race for the
mines. Of course the fever was mild
here as compared with California. Gen.
Sherman says that at one time 600
ships were anchored in San Francisco
harbor without crews. The sailors had
deserted and joined in the rush for the
mines. Soldiers in the garrisons at
tempted to follow the example of the
sailors, and it required the utmost ex-
ertions of officers to prevent regimental
stampedes. Those were the days when
servants commanded $500 a month :;
rough board rooms, rooted with canvas,
rented for $1,000 a month, and every
thing else was high in proportion. The
golden days of California were not al
together golden for those at a distance
from the mines.

A Great Day for Mary Walker.

ter

N~ksl
The Capitol continues to be attrac-
ton to visitors and was crowded again
to-day. Both the Senate and House
chambers were filled all day with a
moving throng. This afternoon those
on the House floor witnessed a peculiar
scene. An efeminate-looking person,
wearing trousers, a Prince Albert Coat
and silk hat ascended to the Speakers
desk and, removing his hat, began an
address in sharp, squeaky voice. It
was DR.. Mary Walker. She informed
the astonished audience that the time
was not far distant when the Speaker Of
the House of Representatives would be
a woman, and instead of the Speaker
recognizing the gentleman from Indi-
ana, Dakota. &C., the Speaker would
say: 1.-THE lady from Indiana, Dakota,
&C." She was right in the midst Of an
old-fashioned woman's right speech,
when the confusion and crowd began
to grow so great that she was politely
led from her exalted position by door
keeper, who escorted her out Of the
hall.

A woman is said to be always at the
bottom of trouble. You remember the
story of Shah of Persia. When he was
told that workman had fallen from a
ladder, he called out. "Who is she?"
"Please your Majesty, it's he." "Non-
sense" exclaimed the Shah; "there is
never an accident without a woman.
Who is she?' The Shah was right
