Mill 1 1 i Hi IIIIPrHMl TOTT'S MSIR Mi, 111U FLOW OF IMHHHtATIUS TO THE ABKTHWiayrv' ' San Francisco, AprrfjO. The itnmi. ration boom to the iNorlh west is in it? height. Despite tlw liberal oflfers made by laud ngents ter?r out ew 'm' migrants arriving wav ox tne Ur-n- tral ami Southern Pacific railroads ore intending to settle permaiir-ntiv in this stale. It is a noticeabltfsct that over ilirpe-fourtlu. of .thruiEaliytly after llieir arrival Jier.oMHaVeir'way to Oregon and Washington territory. As a rule lliey coma provided with through tickets and the favorite war of obtninitig information about the country is lo send an advance agent, whose duty is to report upon the most important features of the cotintry and its adaptability lo their purposes. Under the management of IL Widdick of Colorado, a company of 250 immi grants, all pralical Gerninn farmers, was organized nnd left Denver 14 days ago en route to Washington territory. They leave to morrow morning on the -sound steamer and propose to settle in Snohomish, near the river of that name, where also they propose .o es talilili Ihe nucleus of a thriving town. Some Canadians leave by the .same steamer for Yale, under contract with the Cinadian Pacific. In addition to the above, a large "number of immi grants will start for Seattle and east ern Oregon during the latter portion of next week. WHAT IT COST TO EUILt) THE CCXTRAI. PACIFIC San Francisco, April 9 Charles Crocker president of the Southern Pa cific Railroad and vice pres:dent of the Central Pacific railroad, testified to day before the board of railroad com niis.Moners that the total cost of build ing th Central Pacific, on a gold ba sis Hd not exoeed SC3,000,000. He stated that the figures of 8178,000,000 furnished by Mr. Towne.ceneral man agr, included the value of the stock Ke,.lyi!!g to a question that the esti mate made by Theodoie Judah, late chief engineer, put the cost of the road across the Sierras to the California slate line at 99,C00,O0O," he said that the difference was owing to the fact that Judah's e.stiinato was made befoic the war, whereas lliu lino was con structed after the war; that Judah could not have formed any correct es timate, as he did not believe he had ever been over the ground when he made tlu estimate. Crocker dmied having, with hfa partners, contracted for the construction of nil the rojd. but tthen some contractors failed he took tin- contract off their hands "At that time," he added, "the projectors af the ror.tl were much discouraged, and would alone lime have willingly sold out. In reply to a question if any efforts were ever made to sell out, ho said: "No not exactly. Tlieie was an effort to get other capital inter-sted. That was why the contract and finance company came to be formed. There was nobody fool encugh then to buy us out. I would nian3- times have snlil out for a clean shirt. Crocker and Chief Engineer Gray will appear befoie the board Thursday next for further examination. Senator Dolpli on TnrllT. By a New York dispatch of March 17th we learn that Hon J. N. Dolph, Senator elect from Oiegon, was inter viewed bv a Mail and Express reporter and his views are embodied in the fid lowing remarks: Oregon wll be af fected only by those reductions in the new tariff on iron nnd rool. The re duction in the former will be a decided benefit to lliu State: Oregon expects to build many miles of railroad with in the next few years. We hive to purchase rails and the tariff will have a tendency to make prices lower as we will receive a material benefit by the reduction. Oregon is a large producer cf wool, but manufacturers do not ap prehend that their business will be badly affected by the change. I mav add, however, that the people of the State would have been much iietter pleased if no change lud been made in the tariff on wool. Dr. C. Siemens predicts a vast ex tension of the consumption of gas in tho future for heating and power. It will effectually dispose of the smoke nuisance, and will afford in time a more economical and convenient fuel. When heating gas is supplied to us from street mains ot twenty-five cents pl-r 1,000 feet, as it will lie at some time in the near future the housekeeper's nailleniura will not to far Q. coiATiNG Tin: CASH. Washington, March 31. The coin mitteei appointed to examine the cash in the United States treasury and the accounts of the late treasurer began work after the close of buMness Satur day by making a count of the cash, so that there need be no interference with the business of the office. The vault was also sealed up preparatoiy to Ink ing an inventory of its contents, insti tuted by Gilullan. It is thought that the count will occupy two or three weeks. There has not been a thorough overhauling of the treasurer's office for 10 yenW, the last full examination being the one made during Treasurer Spinners's time, when Spinner handed over the office to Treasurer New. The latter was willing to accept the cah accounts without examination, nnd his bondsmen dispensed with an examiua lion. The same thing occurred when Treasurer Wyinan succeeded New, and when Gilfillan succeeded Wyman. The hitter has expressed his willingness to forego an examination of the present occasion, but the secretary thinks so long a time has intervened since the la-t count that one should be made. The committee vi 1 be asvsted in the woik by a force of from 20 to 30 clerks detailed from offices oilier than the treasurer's office. The count wiU be made of old notes in the redemption di vision, new notes in the reserve vault, and siver and gold bonds held in trust. President Upton, of tho committee, has decided that the actual count must be made in all cases. Packages of notes will be opened and counted, as will also bags of gold and silver coin. He will personally assume charge of the work of comparing tho cash on hand with the treasurer's accounts nnd with the accounts of the disbursing offi cers. Washington, Apiil 2. Treasurer Wyman and Assistant Treasurer Graves formally entered upon their new duties this morning. Examina tion of the cash in the. tieasury is pro gressing satisfactorily. There are 60 persons including female counters, en gaged in this work, under the super vision of a general committee. The count : o far has shown a deficit of five cents in one bag of silver, and an ex cess of six cents in the accounts of in terest. The 'eller supposed this dis crepancy will je explained. As jhe count progresses the cash is being counted twice the first time by the committee, and again by represen tatives of the treasury. The tnasurtr uill require two or three weeks to com plete the examination. The Second Gueat City. Peter Cooper, the eminent New Yotk philan thropist and millionaire, who diid Wednesday uioniin;.', took a d ep in terest in California. Though he hail never visited San Francisco he could name all our principal streets and buildings. M r. Cooper was a far seeing mail of excellent judgment, and he often remarked that San Francisco ouhl in time be one of the great cilirs of the world. Two 3-ears ago Mr. Gooper wns introduced to Congressman J. K. Luttre.ll of this State in tie office of his son in law, A S. Hewitt. He said to Luttrell: "There is going to be another great city in this country. New York is getting mi largs and hjavy that there will have to bo an other su-.-li citv on the other side of (he continent to balance it to keep it from tipping up," said Mr. Cooper laughing ly. "Anil I tell you, young man, San Francisco is going to be a great city. It lias the harbor and a great rich country both north and south of it. I can remember when New York had 27,000 poplation. I haie lived to see it grow to twenty seven times 27,000, and you will see in a feiv years all of San Francisco built up and extending its blocks of business houses into the adjacent country. You will also si e another large population settled across its bay equivalent to our Brooklyn. I tell you, sir, the two great cities of America will be New Yoi k and San Francisco." S. F. Call, April Gih. A bachelor and a spinster, who had been schoolmates in youth and were aloutthe same age, met in after years, and the lady chancing to remark that "men live a great deal faster than wo men," ihe bachelor replied: "Yec, Maria; the last time we met wo were each twenty four years old; now I'm over forty, and I hear you hav'nt reached thirty yet." They never met again. A BIG IMlUl.lt U.OIE. When Philadelphia club men tire of the mouotony'of club pit tits and smok ing rooms, they occasionally Seek rec reation at a opular hotel not a mile from the Union League nod indulge in a quiet game of draw poker. A few nights ago such n game was in prog ress in which the Philadelphia Social Arc ond Union League Clubs were represented. After on hcur or so. of play, with"" scarcely enough difference in fortunu to warm up die players, a jack pot was made, which was not Inoken until fueror rive dollars had swelleJ it to handsome proportions. Young T. A. Scott, the millionaire smi of the late President Thomas Scott ot the Pennsylvania IJniiroad, finding ihree queens, threw in a twenty -dollar gold piece ilh great confidence. John Tucker examined his hand, and found a pair of jtcks ami a ten, ninu and seven of diamonds one of his jacks being also of that suit. With the it1' teinative. of drawing to his four flush, Tucker remarked that it would cost fifty dollars to play, and posted the cash. All players threw up their hands except Scott, who drew oneotnl, nnd got his fourth queen. Tucker split his jacks, drawing to his flu.h, and took in an eight of diamond?, making his hand a straight royul flush. Scott casually remarked that his hand was worth $1,000, mid put that amount in ihe pot. "My hand is worth three three thousand," said Tucker, in a tone whose nervousness caued Scott to think an attempt to bluff him was in prog ress. "Five thousand morp," Scott said. "Fifteen thousand more," Tucker letorted. Scott's confidence in his queens was undiminished, and he chuckled to himself to think what a snap Tucker had got himself into. 'Thirty thousand more," was tins re sult of Scott's brief self-consultation. Tucker paused, ran his eye over his hand to sec whether it was all light, ami he apparently went into a menial calculation of his bank accounts. "Mere, Scott," he said, throwing in an I. O. U. to balance the put. "Four queens," said Scott spreading out his hand on the table nnd making a move as if to raku in tho stakes. "Not so fast, if you please; a straight flush," said Tucker. Scott's, face fell and Tucker pocketed his winnings, something over 503,000 on that hand. Indian Jlarrlajc Laws. A paper on this subject, read by t'te RiV. J. 0ven Djrsey beforo the American Association, notices some re markable customs in relation to iu.tr riagu and kinship us prevailing among the Dhegitha Indians, particularly the Ouiahas and Poucas: When a ttibe is hunting it camps by gentes or nations in u lircle, each gens bearing the name of some animal All the members of one gens aie relatives ami marriage between mem bers of one gen is absolutely forbidden. Membership in a gens is descent in the male 1'iic, not in the female. The re lutious of a man are denoted by colon; for example black grandfather or griuilmother; blue, father or mother. His connections are denoted by mixed colors, such as pink head and skill, with light blue triaiig'e on the body, tor sister-in-law. A man can lnam his broihei's widow, and her children can call htm father even beforo their father's death. His sister's are only nephews and nieces. His mother's sister is always called mother for the same reason, and even his paternal gradfather's brother's son is his father These and many other distinctions show that the terms of relation ship are far more numerous mid com plicated with the Om ihas than with us. A man marry any woman In -linging to another gens, whether con nected with him or not, though mar riage into his mother's gens, is also forbidden. A man cannot marry any woman to whom he is related by the ceremony of the calumet dance. Sometimes a man may take the chil dren of his deceased brother without their mother herself. Sometimes thu dying husband, knowing that his male kindred are bad, tells his wife to marry out of his gens. If a widow'er remains single two, three or four years, he must remain so for ever. Widows, however, mut wait four years before re-iuaming. The same system pre vails among the Iowas Otos, aud Missouri. LIUTlMi A M.WSl'APUl. It requires tnoro science to edit a newspaper than it does to govern a na tion. Not on nut of a thousand can steer his literary craft without cutting across ihe track of nme"old subscriber." and then he fi.ul.s himself on a lee shore in short order. Everybody criticises newspapers. We do not know n single man who does not cherish the nlen that if he had a chance ho couM edit the "Lon don Times" or any other thundrrer, with much more ability than it is edited. "Nothing in tho paper now! So ut terly stup V We hear tho complaint at every turn, nut the man who cou'fl not spell cat without putiing a li in it, will turn up his nose and fling aside his paper, which very likely he has borrowed, nnd tellhisfrieudsth.it he wishes he hail the control of that sheet; he'd seo if he could not turn over a new leaf! An editor is supposed to know what every individual who reads his paper wants. He must be careful not to bear down on any of the beliefs of his old subscribers. If sonip of ihein nrn Universalists, he must steer clear of mentioning the locality signified in ihonew version as Hades; and if some Baptists nud Meth odists are included in his list, he had belter bo careful how he insinuates that any man dure hope for heaven un less he has been gathered ill under the banner. He musn't go in for temperance, be cause there nrn many good people tak ing his paper who drink, and who sell lager beer. And on the other hand', lo ought to be very cautious how he indorses inebriation, for there are ninny young people among his readers who might bo influenced for bad. Thu editor must bo "a mitten for either hand." lie must please every body. He must always print any thing an '"old subscriber" wants him to, from tho messages; of all the Presi dents down to a recipe of greaseind molasses for the gipes in chickens. Ho must not say anything' about the pay. He ought to bs thankful that aii)IoJy will take the paper. To send a subset ibur a bill is thu height of im pudence. To expect pay for extra copies to send to absent friends is a monstrosity. What can he want lo keep old papers foil It the paper fails to reach a mail subscriber what n row theio is. Pub lishers should be more careful. They should see tlint the ina'ls attended to their business The man who pays one dollrn year for a paper does not want to be swindled by the publisher keeping back n number. An I hn gen erally writes bin: to that effect, and ihe publisher, as innocent of any in tended swindling as a child unliorn, mails him nnother paper, and possesses his soul in silence. If the editor inserts an article in his periodical which offends an irascible subsciiiier, hi; is li'lil to receive a call from that individual sometimes he gets a cow-hiding, unless he has tho piesence of mind to kick thu irated visitor down stairs before he can begin aggressive operations; nnd very often elttors tne brought into Courts and in dicted for libel, when they have been guilty of telling the truth. So, young man, if you are going to bo nu edit os put your hair in thn iiiidd h that your brains may be evenly balanced and with your life in one hand nnd your paste pot and bcissors in the other wade in; but go slow, young man go slow! It behooves editors to read their proof carefully beforo their papers go to press. Colonel J.ill bnor', the edi tor of a Tex-ts paper, is a fugitive among ihe chopparral and prickly pears of Crosby, all be:ause in referr ing editorially to a patron he says in his paper that the patron is thieving as usual." lie wrote "thriving as usual." A-cnrding to the 'ntest advices re ceived by "Texas Sittings" the indig nant patron, nssis'.ed by his numerous relations 'iai' Bill corruled in a thicket. The British Minister at Washington, Hon. Lionel Sackvilln West, was a few days ago fleeced out of $500 by a sharper who told him a tale about a dyiiumi'c plot lo blow up his residence, and that it whs necessary c have money to hire detectives to assist in preventing it.
