For the past week the telegraph has had much to say regarding the grand est exploit of the age, the crossing of the continent, in eighty:f our. hours, from New York to. San Francisco, with a railroad train. Details of the -trip are incomplete but enough is at hand to show a re sult which commands universal ad miration. We sift from the latest dispatches the following facts : The maximum rate per mile- on each of the three divisions df the Union Pacific was one minute, and on the division between Big Springs and Julesburg, the run was made at the rate of seventy-two miles an hour. Arrived at Ogden at 10:57, eight hours and twenty-seven minutes ahead of ti me. Average speed forty four miles per hour. Arrived atlveltonat 11:-G; stopped four minutes for water. The speed between Promontory and Kelton, forty-six and a half miles an hour ; average rate of speed from Troma to Ogden, forty-four and a half miles per hour ; entire time from Ogden to Troma, including stops, 3:36; distance 156 7-10 miles; engine, Xo. 149, drawing the train, has cylinder six teen by twenty-four inches; driver five feet; she is a model engine, weighing thirty-three tons. The most remarkable run occurred on the-Central Pacific, up hill grade, from Ogden to. Promontory, in Utah, fifty-four miles, made in one hour and nine minutes. Reached Winnemucca at S:10 p. m. and remained eight to ten minutes. The emigrant train, with several hundred emigrants, and also a large crowd from town, were at the depot, and greetedthe train with cheers upon its arrival The whole distance of the Humboldt division 236 miles was accomplished in six hours and three minutes. The breakage of the lubricator at Carlin detained the train thirteen min utes, and a hot box caused a further detention at Battle Mountain, caus ing a delay altogether of twenty-five minutes on the Humboldt division. Notwithstanding the heavy grades and curves between Toano and Winne mucca, a speed of forty-eight and three tenths miles per hour was maintained. The tram was five hours ahead of time and anticipations of arriving in San Francisco between 8 or 9 a. m. Simday were confidently expressed by the passengers. The train passed Reno at 2:25 a. m., notwithstanding the early hour the track for a mile and a half was lined with people, firing, pistols, bombs and shouting. Roman candles were fired from the rear end of the train. Arrived at Evanston at 9:15 a. m., leaving at 9:20 a. m., eight hours and fifteen minutes ahead of time, running down Echo canyon at the rate of sixty miles and hour. The Postmaster at San Francisco received a dispatch from Evanston as follows : " Have 100,000 letters for your citizens. "Will you deliver them Sunday on arrival of the transconti nental, express ? Signed Jarrett & Palmer." T.he Postmaster was to have the delivery made upon the ar rival of the train. A trashy San Francisco paper sent a reporter to Ogden in the hope of get ting him on the train, but did not suc ceed. They then sent another to Truckee hi the hope of being; able to get on board there and ride ta the bay; but he returned in a fearful state? of ttigs&tisfactiogu as.-he learned on reads ing Summit,, through telegraphic ad vices, that his mission would prove a tdtal failure, and that he would not be 9 allowed to accompany the party at all. OCCIDENT HOTEL ARRIVALS. ASTORIA. June .7, 1S7G. Peter Leary Jr Ft Stevens Jas "Williams city o q uuamuers oroosneiu Dr D Weisel wife fc child USA J W'Munson Ft Canby C E.-Simonds " ' L A Loomis Unity J N Wilson city Capt J A Richardson city Prof Ned Parker S F A F Binder Portland F G Smith Ft Canbv S Davis " C H Dexter Unity "Wm Symonda city Stanley M Grimes " A man who gives his name as John Allen, and says that his last recollection of himself was that he worked for Seth Luelliug, at Mil waukie, was brought to the hospital at noon to-day from a thicket of brush on Smith's Point by Judge Davidson andMr.Fruitjinafamishingcondition. He was seen by a hunting party last Sunday, but no particular notice was taken of him, as nothing about his appearance was observed to cause a suspicion that he was not all right, except that perhaps he had been in toxicated and was ,; sleeping off" the effects of a spree. This morning, however the same parties again ob served him and pronounced him dead. Judge Davidson was immedi ately notified, and summoning a jury proceeded to the locality for the pur pose of holding an inquest. On reaching the place, which is des cribed as an almost impenetrable jungle, it was discovered that life was not extinct, although the man was in a famishing condition, and barely alive. Restoratives were applied, and by proper handling the unfortu nate man was placed in a boat, was brought to the city,, and put to bed at tlie hospital. He revived sufficient to tell that he went to the place where he was found on Thursday last, that his name is John Allen, and that he worked for Luelling. His language implies that he is insane and it seems impossible for him to account for the manner in which he got to the place where he was found. He tells of parties being with him who are unknown, parties who gave him a blanket, and told him to stay there, and then went away and never, came back, promis ing, him food, etc., and that they woold get him into the hospital. It is very evident that the man has not eaten anything for several days. Xo blankets, nor other covering was found with him, and it is a mystery how he could penetrate the jungle and live there so long Dr. "Wandory, is attending the case, ' and it is thought the man will recover. N. Q. Meeker, of Greeley, Col., says that. Gen. Hazen was wrong to stigmatise " the barren lands" as being all that between, the 100th meridian and the Sierra Nevadas. Military men don't knoVt anything; about the agricul turalyalne of the land, says Mr. Meek er; ihey have their grain and provisions hauled from the states to the posts at a cost of twenty cents" a pound, when they could raise all they need for not over two cents a pound right under their own guns. Irrigation solves the necessities of the region, and he points to Colorado to prove it, estimating that when the irrigation; laws shall be " definitely and. wisely"1 settled, Colorado can support 2,000,000 people, New Mexico Arizona and Utah each the same, and MontanaOOOjOOO.
