The colriett place in the We$t is said to be the ljttle town of Halteckon the Central Pacific Railway.

At any rate, holeft $750, 000, three-fourths of his fortune, to a home for widows and orphans in Meri den, and divided the remaining fourth among his wife and children. His idea was' that his family could gt along on a quarter of a million. Te number pf women in the Frch capital who use tobacco is somewhat c --tho increase, for there are force ' or fctff establishments in ! e devoted exclusively to the manufac- of ladies'-cigarettes and they do, it is j faid, a roaring traue. An xnquisui' k journalist, however, has ascertained that the cigarettes solely made for the ladies contain a soupcon of opium, which is de cidedly a bad thing for the health and nerves of those who use them, and who thus may be said to doubly narco tize themselves. j The Mexican International R.

But the objection made by the British Government, namely, that the amount proposed is too small to be of service, is a very easy one to cure, if Australia wishes. Still, it is not im probable that any increase in the sum devoted to such an expedition would be so much additional money thrown away. While discoveries within the Arctic circle have been pushed to a distance of only a little more than six and a half degreea from the pole, the furthest advance in the Antarctic region is still nearly twelve degrees from the South pole. Practically, nothing of importance has been discovered in that direction for nearly half a cen tury, or since the triple successes achieved between 1840 and 1843 by Sir James Jfcjss, our American Wilkes,- and the Preach Daraont d'Urville. - Ice and snow perpetuaI,Jr porer latitudes correspond ing to those in'Tyhich t tK nr.

'I have come back to San Francisco for the purpose of seeing some of my old friends of the Argonaut days of 1849 that is,- as many of them as are alive. I can tell you some interesting things about early times in this city. I owned and drove the first hack that ever rum bled over the streets of San Francisco. In 1851 1 got $50 a night to drive Cath erine Haye3, the; famous singer, and her mother between . the . Razette Ilouse and;. Tom Maguire's Theatre,, which was then situated on Wash ington street, between Montgomery and and. Kearney. I also got the same sum from several others at the time .for the same trip. Those were good jld days, and I, as well,. I. suppose,. as, very many others, would wish to see them back again. I saw $1,200 paid for a box in . Maguire's Theatre on the bpcn'ng night , ot Catherine IIayes'3 season. A Limerick butcher at Sacramento paid. l,v,0i) for a box when she cam to the capital city to - sing. Dollars in thosa days were more plentiful than nickels are now.

The road's ; freight business was very large i before the Chicago, Bur lington and Oumcy strike, but it is now nothing ZL0JS tl2n local. "Chief Arthur i etatcd nhreservediy (to ' uSC Arty's ex actness,) there was "serious danger that the strike of' the engineers and firemen would now spread widely.

The fu'l support of the entire Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers and Firemen has been pledged to their members on any and all roads throushont the United States, who deem it necessary to strike, and formally de cide to do so, in order to uphold their brethren on the Chicago, Burlington,& Ouincv Railroad.

It is reported that the closing of the Reischtag will be postponed in consequence of the condition of the The official bulletins say: 4 n m The Emperor has suffered a seri ous relapse. He has been in a heavy sleeo since two o'clock in the morning, His condition causes great anxiety. 4. 30 p. m. The emperor awoke at 3.30 o'clock the same afternoon, and took some nourishment. The Berlin Behanzeiger publishes the following bulletin, which has been issueu oy tne emperor s pnvi cians: "To the general symptoms of cold wmcn nave anecteu the emperor since the du, together with an affection of the mucus membrane of the throat and irritation of the membrane of the eyelids, has been added during, -the. past fetv days painful abdominal disorder, which have occurred frequently since the 6th. The emperor's appetite has mate rially diminished, owing to which there has been a marked decresise in " his strength." The Bundesrath ,has been summoned for an extraordinary sitting on the night of the 7th. 10 p. m. It is still hoped that the emperor, notwith standing "his present feebleness, may rally. During the afternoon no alarming change occurred." The slight nourish ment he was able to take seemed to re vive him.: Prince "William remained at his grandfather's bedside a'quarter of an hour. In the evening the first story of the palace, where the emperor's room is situated, was all lighted up. A constant stream of military men and government officials passed in and out. The street in front of the palace is kept perfectly quiet. The doctors are anxious, on . account of the emperor's rapidly declining strength. After midnight he lay in a doze. The doctors were unable to wake him . to ad minister food Until late in the afternoon. Member's of the ministry and of the im perial house were in attendance during the night, and the telephone to Potsdam was kept open. It is stated that in ad dition to kidney affections the emperor is also suffering from intense pain due to inflammation of the parts affected by the rupture which he suffered some time ago. It has been found that morphia, admin istered to alleviate the pain, is too much for his strength, and has a . bad effect upon his appetite- Injections of the drug will, therefore be discontinued. Doctors Von Leur and Luthold did not leave the' emperor an instant in the pal ace all day, but to the general public lit tle was known until toward evening. , The very latest news is that ; the emperor - is in an almost comatose state and cannot live many hours. It is expected that in consequence of the illness of the emperor the crown prince will either return im mediately to Berlin, or go to some place in Germany, , notwithstanding . the fact that he is as yet unfit for travel. - BOLD ROBBER He Entered a, Bunk.
