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.

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
