"De coram' man Wasn't come yet" said Brother Gardner to the Lime- Kiln Club, as lie looked Giveadam Jones square in the eye and motioned to Elder Toots to draw in his feet and let the heat of the store have a chance to circulate around the Hall. "No gem'len de comin manliasn't arrove in dis ktntry yet, an' if de rheumatics keep on boderin' meiltcan't expect to be on airth when ' hjy?t3 heab.-anc take him by the' ban' ant tell him how powerful glad lis to see him. But some of our chill'cn may lib to see him, an' s- dar will be sich a celebration as no Fo'tb of July kin hold a candle to.

"De comin' man will have a rever ence fur de Constitution otde Union in' a respect fur de laws of his own State. '"De comin' man will look sternly upon embezzlement, bribery an all sorts of fraud, an' he will take a squar' stand upon an honest, political plat form. "If de comin' man should happen to be 'lected to the Common Council de people of dat city would h'ar such a rattlin' an' shakin' of dry bones dat de music of ten bras bands couldn't drown de noise. "As I menshuned befor' de comin' man hasn't got heah yet, and when I pick up de daily paper and scan de daily record of crime I can't help hut feel dat de hero will find sich a job laid out fur him dat he will go down into his butes an' nebber be seen nor heard of again.

Let us now embarrass de reg'lar order of bizness. "Detroit Free Press." San Francisco, April 6. A large num ber of laborers left this morning for the scene of operations on the line of the California and Oregon railroad, and on arrival at Redding will begin the work of grading It is proposed to enter upon the construction of the road already cleared to a distance up ward of fifteen miles from that point. so that track laying will be consider ably accelerated during the next three months. The Mojave branch of the Southern Pacific railroad is nearly completed, and will reach the Colorado river at the Needles inside of two weeks. It is now within eight miles of the river, but u tjreat deal of heavy work will have to de done on the re maining eight miles, owing to a range of hills that has to be crossed. Simple Antidote to Nicotine. M. Armand (Chemical Naws) states that the deleterious effects of the use of tobacco can be counteracted, if not entirely annihilated, by moistening the tobacco when in course of prepara tion, previous to its delivery to the consumer, with a strong infusion of watercresses, since the author has dis covered that this vegetable contains principles which, without destroying the peculiar aroma-of tobacco, destroys the deleterious offects cf nicotine). - THE OKEGO.X A.1D.CAI.IFOB.WA. SA5 Frascisco, April 4. Special. Much activity aloncr the line of oper ations of the California and Oregon railroad has been recently manifested, and the force of men has been consid erably increased during the past few days. It is proposed to push the work forward to a speedy conclusion, but from the nature of the country north of Redding and along the line of the Central Pacific railroad in that vicinitv, progress has been necessarily slow, in several instances it has been found necessary to construct circuitous wagon roads so as to reach the line of survey, and on which the proposed route has been laid. This work is not only arduous, but exceedingly slow, and accounts for many of the vexatious de lays in the past. Over 200 laborers have jeen employed on this particular work for upwards of six weeks. On completion of the Colorado river ex tension of the Southern Pacific, the gang of men at present occupied there, will be transferred to a point some GO miles from Redding, and advantage taken of the summer to push work as much as possible. Masonry has been completed through the most difficult points some miles beyond Redding, where massive retaining walls inside of the mountains have been built, to gether with a number of piers and culverts, in the construction of which, together with other improvements, 300 men were engaged. Three engineering parties aro revising the preliminary surveys along to upper Sacramento canyon, and also making final locations, and will extend their labors alone; the whole line of the road. It is expected that a grading force will be sent for ward in a few days, most of whom will be brought from Colorado. Shipment of materials to Redding has commenced in good earnest, and there is on the ground already enough of steel rails weighing 60 pounds to the yard, in cluding trimmings, fish plates and 120,000 railroad ties, to build at least 40 miles of road. It is not improbable that that point of the upper Sacramen to river which the railroad crosses seven times, will be the scene of ex tensive railroad engineering. The question of spanning the river by means of iron bridges has been con sidered. For the present, however, wooden bridges aro considered as answering all requirements. 3 QnnnJIty of bred to nn Acre.

UAtLUUAD .itWiS. Mr. Hurlburt is nov" engijed in locating the tunnel and approaches in the SiskiyOu, having finished prelim inary work last week. The tunnel will be about 3050 feet in length, and the contemplated tunnel through the Buck Rock ridge will also be made. "When the route from the Siskiyou tunnel down the west side of the val ley was contemplated, a tunnel of 4,000 feet or more in length was talked of but, even with the longest tunnel prac ticable, Mr. Hurlburt found that this route encountered almost insuperable engineering obstacles in the Neil can yon, which is too narrow at the hight at which tho line crossed it to admit the curve required in order to make the turn of the road. As will be re membered, subsequent preliminary sur veys developed the Buck Rock route, by which a number of miles in climbing ground distance were gained and the line so lowered at the crossing of Neil ;reek that the difficulties there were entirely overcome. By the addition to the length of the track between the summit and Neil creek the necessity for a long tunnel was obviated, but a second tunnel, over a thousand feet in length, is required through Buck Ridge. This will make more than 4,000 feet of tunneling to be done in the Siskiyous. As there are two tunnels, howsver in stead of one, the work may be ac complished in much less time than if the same amount of cutting were re quired for a single tunnel. Sometime since, one of our exchanges said it was reported that the short tun nel (3,000 ft.) had been decided upon for the Siskiyou summit, and con sequently, tho road would be away above Ashland and would not get down from a steep grade until away down about Wagner creek. There is a mis taken idea. As we have said above, the difficulty with the first route was in Neil creek canyon. To overcome this it was necessary to bring tho line down to a lower altitude at that point. When that was done, it of course lowered the line just as much at Ash land. So it is really Neil creek can yon which will fix the altitude of the line at Ashland, and not the length of tho tunnel." That is, tho obstructions in Neil creek canyon above a certain point effectually preclude the possibility of the line being above a certain alti tude here. Longer tunnels and heavier grades than contemplated might bring the line considerably lower than tho level of Main Etreet; but there is no chance of it being so high but that it will cut through the upper part of town. "Tidings." One hundred dollars was paid J. G. Cook, of Empire City, last week, for a pair of boots which he made for H. P. Whitney. Tho boots are just an ordinary pair of No. 7 calf skin, and we were at a loss to know why they cost so much. It uppears that Mr. W. has a rather hard foot to fit, and has had a great deal of trouble in get ting a boot to suit him. In talking with Cook about it, some time since, he remarked that if he could get a pair to suit, he would pay well for them. Cook, as conceited as ever, went to work, pntting on some extra touches in shaping the last, and when the boots were tried on, Whitney wis so pleased with them he planked down a hundred dollars, positively refusing to pay less, and now those Empire fellows are bragging about their boss boot and shoe man. Peg one for Cook. "Coos Bay News." In view of Jay Gould's late acqui sitions of railroads, telegraphs, barge lines, and what nots, his methods of dealing with legislatures are in teresting. He testified as follows be fore a committee of the New York leg islature during the Erie investigations: I do not know how much money I paid towards helping friendly men. We had four states to look after, and we had to suit our politics to circum stances, In a Democratic district I was a Democrat; in a Republican dis trict 1 was a liepu oucan; and in a doubtful district I was a doubtful; but in every district and at all times I have been an Erie man." A Nebraska justice of the peace fined his own son $15 for contempt of court, but the boy not being able to pay it, and the father having only 65 cents about him, the fine was remitted and the paternal boot subsituttd. $3 PER YEAR COVEU.VMK.NT LA.NDS. One day last week a deed was brought to the recorder's office here to be recordpfl, which was executed in 1860. Ddring all these years the hold er has had no record title to his farm, and had tho original owner been so disposed cuuid have sold it again, and had the second purchaser recorded his deed he would have held the legal title. There are thousands of- like, instances in this.s'ate-and -otLir uutrsYrt 'Every holder of a deed of real olato should make sure that it is on record. In the United States land office here aro nearly 30,000 governmental patents of land, which should bo in possession of the owners ofjthe land, and on record in the proper county. Some of the entries which they rep resent are thirty and forty years old. It is not generally known, or this would not be the case; the holders of this land have no evidence of title to his land whatever, and should he die no conveyance could be made, and there would be trouble in settling the estate. All he holds is the certificate of purchase from the register and re ceiver of the laud office, which if ha will read only shows that he has paid so much money for a certain quantity of land a simple receipt for money. It gives no title, and guarantees noth ing. If he has sold the land on the basis of such certificate he has done so, without legal right or title. It is well known that in the rush for government land twenty-five years ago mistakes were liable to occur, and did occur. In many instances, certifi cates and patents weroduplicated. In several instances when parties received their patent it described an entirely different tracfof land from the certifi cate. In one instance, a person who, after wailing years, came here to get his patent or deed, and found it was for a tract different from that described in his certificate. He had sold the land and given a warranty deed. The land described in the patent has already been taken by another purchaser who received a certificate for tho same land, had got his patent and sold it again. The first purchaser having discovered the conflicting title sought to correct it, when he discovered his mistake, nnd that a certificate of purchase was not a deed by a large majority. It cost him a good sum of money to settle with his grantee. Probably 20, 000 holders of government land in this state are in the same fix, and it is only by surrendering their certificate at the land office that errors, if any exist, can be corrected. This is true of all pur chase of government land in any stato. And here arises another difficulty. If the original purchaser has died and it is discovered that a wrong tract has been deeded or patented, a new patent cannot issue, for land cannot bo con veyed to a dead man. Hence, every holder of government land, whether the original purchaser or not, should know that the government patent is of record. Land sharks exist every whare, Jnd they will cause trouble when least expected. "Des Moine3 Globe-Democrat." The Secretary of tho Interior has decided that the application to amend tho homestead entry is'a matter of right only when it is necessary to cor rect a mistake, clerical or otherwise, which would result in depriving the settler of his actual home or valuable improvements. If allowed in any case, as a matter of executive discretion to enable him to take tho full quantity allowed by law, and to avoid a con flict with other asserted claims, tho new lands ought to be included, and must bo vacant and free from adverse rights, legal or equitable, so that no in justice to any other person suit therefrom. shall re- The cultivation of potatoes has be come an extensive industry in tho Willamette valley. In 1882 several hundred thousand bushels wero shipped to San Francisco. In the same time several thousand dollars worth of starch was imported by our jobbers. As potatoes form the principal ingre dient in starch a profitable industry seems to be awaiting the attention of some enterprising person. Near Grand Reint South Africa, an ostrich broke a horse's back by a kick. It had meant it for a man. Many herders have been maimed for life or k'lled in this way. A first-rate kick ing mule would find an ostrich a tough customer.
