Queen Victoria, in her speech proroguing parliament, referring to the measures of relief in Ireland, trusted that they would be accepted by her Irish subjects as a proof of the ready sympathy of the imperial parliament.

The extension of the B. & M. from Aurora to Central City, a distance of 18 miiles, was completed last week. In attempting to lay a track across the U.

Mr. Tate, a farmer living near Clark's station, lost by prairie fire last week bis barn, several head of horses, a lot of hogs, a threshing machine, and all his hay and grain.

The girl died, but before her death made confession of all the particulars. Her mother and sister have been arrested. The procuring an abundant sup ply of water from artesian wolls has proved of the greatest importance to the French government. A short time since a number of these wells were bored in the Algerian desert, and every one has become the nucleus of a settlement proportioned to the supply of water. Prof. MarBh states that several nomadic tribes had gathered around these artificial water springs and planted 30,000 palm trees, turning the desert vicin ity into an oasis. We uotice that the senate passed a bill, the other day, for the reclaiming of arid and waste lands, in which there is a provision authorizing the secretary of the in terior to sink two artesian wells on the plains east of the Rocky mountains. Nunc'oAt Paddock. The unfounded rumors of an at tempt to supersede Paddock places Governor Nance in a very delicate position. Say what he will, or do what he may, there aro friends who insist that he should bo a candidate, aud there aro others not so friendly, who insist that be is a candidate Fortunately Senator Paddock is a man who cannot bo easily duped, and we do not apprehend that be is at all disturbed by the report. Pad dock has many warm friends in Nebraska, and his chances are good, but if he is defeated it will not bo tho fault of Governor Nance. Some JNcws. Tho above, appearing in an Osce ola paper, may (or may not) be supposed to come directly (or re motely) from Govoruor Nance him self. Whether we have in this paragraph the Governor's own lan guage or that of a bosom friend, it seems strange that "unfounded ru mors" should placo Mr. Nance in a delicate, nay, in a Verydelicate posi tion, if Mr. Nance does not intend, under certain contingencies, to be a candidate for senator against Mr. Paddock. If he shouldn't be a can didate; is not a candidate; or will not be a candidate, wherein consists the extreme delicacy of the situation ? The game of politics, or rather the contest for officers sometimes play ed a little finer than there is any necessity for, especially when the situation is very delicate. Now, for instance, it is presumable that Mr. Nance may secure, withont much trouble, his own renomination as governor; if he intends trying for that and that only, what conceivable delicacy is there in the situation? We can imagine no delicacy in the Nauce situation except on the suppo sition that while "there are others, not so friendly, who insist that heft a candidate,'' and "there are friends who insist that he should be a can didate," he himself might hesitate to let go of the governorship before he has a good hold on the senatorial chair. The governor may some times think that if he occupies the gubernatorial chair two terms the people may imagine the due meas ure of his ambition is filled, and not insist on thrusting upon him further and higher honors ; while if he drops now the lesser glory, he may secure the greater, and thus, by anchoring himself to a good star, in the eye of tho on-gazing world, he may climb to still higher ground. The Journal desires to see Mr. Paddock re-elected to the Senate, because the Journal knows he has done well for his constituency, and believes that his power for good at Washington is greater than that of any new member would be. At the same time we insist that by all means the "very delicate position" in which Mr. Nance (or his friend,) says he is placed, be at once relieved or mitigated, in some way or other. Will Bro. Fleharty rise up and elucidate make his wants and wishes known? This is the way tho B. & M. and U. P. did it at Central City, and we suppose that the L. & N. W. will break tho line in a similar manner one of these days. The Courier says : "Last Tuesday the B. & M. crossed tho U. P. in the presence of about two hundred and fifty witnesses, including workmen and citizens. Tho general understanding among the citizens had been that the junc tion would bo made at night, but the workmen, who had been laying track from aboat a mile south of town, reached the U. P. about four o'clock, put in their frogs, and went across as unooncernedly as though they were at work on tho open prai rie. Sheriff Hopkins, under instruc tion of the U. P., served an injunc tion upon them, but the injunction beiug one that been already dissolv ed the work progressed, and by Bix o'clock a train of U. & M. cars had crossed the U. P. track at Central City, and made a settled faot the Junction of the U. P. and B. & M. railways. Injunction was served to restrain the U. P. from tearing up the crossing, and the B. & M. kept watch all night. Serious apprehensions prevailed on tho 22d that the steamship "City of Mexico" had been lost in the severe storm that visited the gulf, and that Gen. Grant and party bad gone down with the steamer. There was however great rejoicing at Gal veston on the 23d, when the "City of Mexico" was sighted, and iu a short time entered the harbor, and Gen. Grant and party disembarked. Deaf ening cheers from the shores and shipping, and a military salute from the battery added to the welcome. The Mayor and city officials, and Gen. Ord's force formed a proces sion, in which nearly all tho societies of the city joined. A reception was held at the hotel parlors, and the banquet postponed until the even ing of the 24th. "We have staled our personal prefer ence for Blaino as a president, but wc believe now that Tilden will surely be the candidate of the Dem ocrats, and the whole history of the last presidential campaign thunders in the ears of Republicans "nomi nate a candidate who will carry the country without a doubt." The electoral commission, and the final count of 185 to 184, by whioh Hayes stepped into the White Honse, muBt not be repeated if the party can prevent it. Let republicans lay aside nrere personal preferences, and unite on a good man, who will certainly win. Tue Journal building at Boston was burned Sunday evening. The loss is estimated at $30;C00.
