THE EAST CONSIDERED.

When it is a question Of getting any
national work On harbors or rivers carried
out in the East Congress and the Govern
ment are generally prevailed upon TO go
ahead with alacrity. The appropriations
are forthcoming with a CELEBRITY which
aStoniShes the population west of the
Missouri, and especially the Pacific Coast.
The amount of higgling, .deputizing, ex-
PLANTATION, persuasion, and investigation
necessary to insgire earnest action IN any
undertaking in California for the improve.
ment of rivers and harbors is eXasperating.
But an Eastern knock at the treasury
doors is very respectfully attended to. and
the inference IL that the delegations from
the great centers Of population have
learned the art of making up their
mind about what they want, and
will not be shuf1ed off with ex-
cuses or evasions. Could we bring
the same influential leverage to bear We
should not long wait for good navigation
On the Sacramento and San Joaquin, and
some harbor questions would be settled
with expe iition. On the Delaware River
Congress has been persuaded that certain
Islands are an obstruction, and they are
accordingly to be dredged away. A con-
tract for the work has been let by the Sec
rotary of War for So, 403 $50 to the Ameri-
can Dredging Company Of Philadelphia.
The navigation will be- improved and Phil
adelphia gain in its harbor facilities.
Pittsburg, another Pennsylvania center,
has prof ed much from Congressional en-
giDeerng. The dam across the Ohio below
the city has been boon to the coal barge
fleets. On the Mississippi prodigious sums
have been expended. The country should
not grumble at good work in river and har-
Dor Improvement. but the favors should go
round impartially, and California would
accept gracefully little more attention
than it receives.

A NIGHT RIDE.
The Descent of Mount Hamilton on
Dark Night.


j. g. Bliss in June Californian
1t was late when we left the building
and began the downward trip. 1t was so
dark that determined to ride down as far
as Smiths, making the start from there
afresh in the morning. The coach ] hap
pened to catch contained a party of Ray
mond excursi oniSts.
The road down from the summit is in all
proba bility the finest cut road in the world,
but it is steep, abounds in sharp turns and
terrific precipices, and is not road one
would select to go down at fnll speed.
Yet when the four-in-hand turned down
into the road, the driver mashed his hat
firmly on his head and brought a crack
from his whip like report OF q revolver,
at which the horses sprang forward in
mad gall0p. Crack came the whip again,
and with terrific sway the heavy coach
swung around the curve and went tearing
down the road, while fitful snrieks began
to come from the ''insides."
Trees, spectral trunks. great oaks and
sycamores flew by, clouds of dust rose
and hid the landscape so that the horses
seemed rushing into a fog bank. Over
bridges we went, the thunder of hoofs ris-
ing in the night with a weird and forbid
ding sound. The pace kept increasing;
the horses were at dead run. sweeping
round curves with frightful swing, now
coming up under the brake with a terrific
crash, then tearing madlv on in the wild
race for the lights of Smiths away below
in t he gloom.
Great trees with long branching arms
reached out, seeming to intercept the road.
Cults of gloom opened up suddenly as the
coach dashed around curves. Spectral
svcamOres stood white and distinct, where
on every side ma sses of verdure made the
night more impenetrable-a black gulf all
ing. On plunged the coach-horses and
driver seemingly gone mau-until, finally,
after pIvoting around in remarkable
manner, We rushed away in a cloud of
dust over the little bridge into the blend
ing and welcome light of Smiths Inn.

A Strange Superstition.

The strange superstlti lion in regard to the
proper disposition of an amputated lin b is
still prevalent in some parts of New Eng
land. Mr.. John M. Currier of Newport.
VT, records in recent issue of the Jour-
nal of American Folk Lore that he recently
assisted in the amputation of the foot of a
man who had it crushed on freight train.
After the operation the friends Question:
what should be done with the amputated
foot. One promptly decided tina matter by
saying that it should be burned, in order
that he stump should not always continue
to be painful and the III n troubled nv d..
agreeable sensations. The ampntated limb
was accordingly cremated.

Running Telephone Lines DiagonalIv.

1t is contended that great saving IN
supports and insulators can be effected BY
running telephone fines dlagopally. More
wire is certainly required by the adoption
of this system, but other advantages are
CLAIMED for the method which more than
counterbalence this objection. Instead OF
carry ing the principal lines along the front
run ZgZag fashion, that is 10 say, first on
the right and then on the left side of the
street, no matter what may be the length of

d-nt, and one bureau. which formerly
used thirty to forty supports. is said to re-
qure only from eight to len under the new
