SAN DIEGo, February 10.-The stage that left here Tuesday evening for the north, in fording the San Onotre creek,

 near Las Flores, yesterday morning, ithe lead horses became entangled in

 fioanng brush and fell, and the strong lcurrent carried them with the stage down the stream 10 the ocean. The

 driver and passengers succeeded in

 saving two of the horses and swan ashore. The mail with stage, baggage and two horses was lost. The express box WAS afterwards washed on the

 beach and saved. The stage that left here for the north last night, founc the

 San Diego river banks full and impaSs-

 able. and no stages from the north are eX-

 pected to arrive for a day or two. The

 storm seems to have been general all

 ing. The wires have been down north

 of Los Angeles, and no reports have been received from above for the past two days. Of the weather here, The. Union this morning says: "The storm which had been gathering during Tues day, broke out at three o'clock yester- day morning, and the rain descended in torrents. In four hours nearly an inch and a quarter of rain fell. The rain ceased at nine o'clock and the weather was clear until about five o'clock in the afternoon, when the wind changed to the west with heavy show CTS. The total rainfall up to half past eight o'clock last night, as reported from the signal office by observer Wells, was one Inch and fifty three hundredths. The highest velocity of wind during the storm WAS thirty-five miles per hour. As far as reports are received from the interior, we learn hat the storm was the heaviest of the season. It is probable there was yood fall of snow in the mountain rel siOns. Farmers may now rest in the , of the largest crcp ever grown z n this country.

SEVERAL members of the committee on appropriations, in the present House ot Representatives at Washington, are looking into the Irregularities which prevail in the army relasng to retired officers, They say they can see no reason why some officers maimed in the late WAT should be retired on full rank with corresponding pay. while others who held as high rank, and were similarly maimed or disabled, should toe receiving only thirty dollars Der month. They will make an effort to remedy this inequality, and are also looking into the question of forage to officers who turn over their supplies for private livery.

The Lake Minnetonka Tourist comes to
hand with the following notice of an old
friend:


P. Gleason is the "boss" sport of the
lower lake, up to date. He took in, one day
this week, over 200 pounds of fish by troll
ing, and spent good portion of the mid
die of the day in the hotel. Some of his
victims we're fine bass and pickerel of three
and four pounds weight. We want the
name of the gentleman who beats this.


Dear old "P. G." He would stop the sale
of seats any time at the Old Drury to tell
of fishing exploits at Minnetonka, and some
of his stories had a close squeeze to get
within the bounds Of probability. "P. G.
was reared in Ireland, and there were no
little hatchets or cherry trees on his
fathers place; but he never aspired to be
President, and would do a friend favor
much quicker and stick to him longer than
George Washington would. We are bound
to accept the statement that 'P. G." took
200 pounds of lake fish in single day with
hook, and that he spent the greater part
of the day in the hotel, because it is 80 re-
ported in the Minnetonka paper; but there
comes the harrassing doubt that he may
have seen the editor and enlarged the fish
That the editor is so certain about the por

The Richland Beacon, published at Ray
Vile, is one Of the most enterprising Demo-
cratic papers in louisiana In its edition
of last Saturday is published Tilden's mess-
age on Louisiana affairs to the Albany

Any lady in the parish can get the Beacon
by saving few pounds of butter ana never

of the discovery of these defalcations.
Other secretaries seem to have neglected

with the business care and sagacity that
characterizes him, examined every one of
them as carefully as if it was his own prop

from everything which shocks their moral

has tendency to weaken that nice sense of

A WASHINGTON DISPATCH appears

stance of Lord Derby's reply to Secretary
Fish's note about Winslow. We have
ascertained that the Department of State
received copy of Lord Derby's reply on
Wednesday afternoon, and that its contents
have not been communicated, as yet, to any
beyond the immediate members of the
Government. We feel justified in predict
ing that when published it will be found
that many things communicated in the

missing, and must have been obtained from
some other source than from the note of
Lord Derby, or from the Department of

MILTON J. DURHAM, Representative

As such he defended Doorkeeper Fitzhugh
against the indictments brought against
Fitzhugh for alleged arson. 1t was to be
expected that the secrets of his client would
remain locked forever in the most inacces-
sible recesses of his memory, and guarded
by the spirit of chivAlry which permeates
every fibre of the physical being of Ken

professional honor. We are therefore
somewhat surprised to learn from the
Record that Durham, in effect, declared on
the floor Of the House his belief that Fitz-
hugh was not fit to be Doorkeeper, and
that if he Durham) had been present at
the caucus when Fitzhugh was nominated
he would have warned his colleagues
AGAINST him. In other words, he betrayed
a knowledge of his clients guilt which
could only have been obtained through
that clients confidential communications
