The Downieville Tribune is making a gallant fight against the employment of Chinese in the hydraulic mines of northern Sierra covfnty, and Hon. M. Farley is also taking an able and active part in advocacy of the reform. An efiort is being made to scare the Tribuneand Mr. Farley from the track by raising the “ery that the agitation of the Chinese question at this particuiar time will weaken the cause of the hydraulic miners. This objection is a mere subterfuge offered in the interest of the employers of mongolian labor. We say now, as we said when we demanded the discharge of the Chinese from the hydraulic mines of this county, and kept saying till we won the fight, If THE HYDRAULIC MINES CANNOT .CONTINUE IN oOPERATION WITH FREE WHITE LABOR, THE SOONER THEY SHUT DOWN THE BETTER. Chinamen are the curse of Sierra county, and their presence there in such large numbers is solely due to the selfish policy of a few wealthy owners of hydraulic mines. It is always in order to create public sentiment against such acourse. The statement that this is an “inopportune” time to discuss the matter is cometbing that no one in Nevada county was silly enough to say when the fight was going on here. The parties who spring such an argument in Sierra county must take the people there for simpletons, AAR AEE TE IIT Tue most unpleasant phase of the triennial conclave was the shabby treatment ofa large number of the press representatives at the Mechanics’ Pavilion Sunday, when a fellow named Starbird, who was a member of the Knights Templar Committee, clothed with a little brief authority,, refused to admit them although they presented the proper, credentials. Without the assistance of the press the conclave would have been ‘afailure, and his fellow Knights should severely rebuke Starbird . for his insolence toward their best friends. Morpuy, the. English butcher, who has often challenged Webb, and who had always contended that Webb would never succeed in breasting the Niagara whirlpool, has met witha similar death to that which overtook the captain. Murphy on more than one occasion challenged Webb to dare with him the Ribble whirlpool. Murphy undertook. to swim this fearful pool on the very day Webb attempted to swim Niagara and was drowned, Iv is said that Miss Maggie Mitchell refreshes herself between the acts when playing, by a sponge bath with rum. The Norristown Herald has noticed that a great many young men in the audience refreah themselves between the acts in pretty much the same way—with the difference that the bath is applied internally. Uncie Sam’s farm now contains about 950,000,000 acres, one-third of which has little or no value. He has settled his boys on farms occupying an area of about 600,000,000 acres. So it appears that the old man has a little land still left, though he has of late been disposing of from 15,000,000 to 18,000,090 acres annually. a0: Tue clerks at the Palace Hotel during the past few days have been enjoying a novel experience.

Two men have been put under heavy bail at Dublin for threatening Francis Carey, brother of ‘the late James Carey. the custody of the police. THERE is a class of people who are “never so happy as when they predict that something evil will happen. .

(8. F. Daily Exchange.) Call and Chronicle before the The assembling of the Conclave did not bear each other any great love. They were were business rivals,. But now a great and most delightful--change has taken place. Both journals were. anxious to make an impression on our visitors by the publication. of a colossal edition. The Chronicle sent a message to the Call that its monster edition was already, but.that-it would not run it off until the Call got its monster edition out first, and thus had won the principal credit for enterprise. The Call generously replied to this, that although its monster edition was actually on the press, there it would rest until the Chronicle’s monster edition was in the hands of the Templars. This put the Chronicle in an awkward position. Evidently its*rival was determined to out-do it in generosity. Yet, ifitdid not accept this magnanimous offer the. Call’s press would be at a standstill and its busness might suffer. Therefore the Chronicle ran its monster edition off on Sunday, and the Call nobly waited until Tuesday before putting its monster edition in the hands of the public. But the beautiful sentiment exhibited in the mutual self-denial of both journals did not stop here. No sooner was the Chronicle’s edition printed than the Call implored its readers to admire it, and buy it up, and lavished the most extravagant praises on the really excellent manner in which the work was done. ‘And all this time not'a word about its own intentions, not aline advertising its own monster edition »thatwas tocome. It wasin the hdarids . i of its staunch friend, the Chronicle, and it knew it would be well treated. Nor were those . expectations. disappointed: When the Call’s monster edition appeared, the Chronicle threw up its hands in ecstasy, and protested that since the invention of the printing press never was such a feat of journalism accomplished, It and buy the Call and frame it, and send it abroad to all its relatives and friends. Thus was the San Francisco journalistic millennium brought about. It is the strangest thing that has ever occurred in this city, and we must thank the Templars for it. WITHIN a secluded enclosure on Columbia avenue, Philadelphia, 14 women are practicing for positions in two basehall mines which are to be composed of women only, and are to travel about the country and play match games wherever it is thought the exhibition will prove to be profitable. The players, who are to Be: neatly uniformed, are engaged on regular salaries, and their managers expect that they will make a fortune. Practice has now been goiag on for about a week, andif the street urchins who during that-time have glued their eyes to knot-holes in the fence surrounding the ball ground are fair critics, ae reasonable degree of proficiency has already been attained, Peruars the most law-abiding and patient persons in the world are the newspaper writers. Newspaper writers never strike. The intelligent compositors may rise in wrath, but the newspoper writer quietly pushes his pencil, trusting in Providence and his proprietor and hoping for better times. Be his salary ten dollars or forty dollars it is all the same, Sometimes he ‘‘severs his connection” and sometimes, when discharged, he ‘‘resigns,” but he never strikes, aioli Corvsa county is making new, if not prodigious, efforts to turn the Sacramento river upon the foothills, so as to flood 250,000 acres of land. They claim it wiil add at least $40 an acre in vaiue, equal to ten millions in all. This will add some millions every year to the wheat crop. Itis estimated that two and a half millions of dollars will build thecanal. It would pay for itself manvy times over in ten years, in increased value of land and product\. ions, A CoMPosITION has been produced which possesses the properties of India rubber, and is suitable for most tof the purposes for which that substance is used.

Trust Not the Tale—Certain De~ductions. “How high was that? Just. read that again,” sang out young Yardstiek, one of our boarders, who is in the dry-goods line, to Professor Seedling who sometimes read aloud a paragraph, after supper. The Professor complied, lending the beauty of his voice to the following statement: “In the year 1773 a Dutchman named Roggewein discovered Easter Island, and reported that the men on that island measured twelve feet in height, although ‘the women were commonly not above ten or eleven feet high.” ‘*Well,”’ said young Yardstick, ‘‘in my opinion he was a Flying Dutchman and a lying Dutchman,” and the other boarders agreed with him. While nobody desires American ladies to be giants, all would be delighted to see them well and ‘strong. Yetathousand causes combine to keep a large proportion miserable. Too much confinement in heated rooms, or in the same house, multiplied.domestic and family worries, want of sleep, little illnesses hard to describe, but peculiar to their sex— are the wolfisl? pack that drive the women ‘‘half out of their Leads,” Miss M.

The Downieville Tribune is making a gallant fight against the employment of Chinese in the hydraulic mines of northern Sierra covfnty, and Hon. M. Farley is also taking an able and active part in advocacy of the reform. An efiort is being made to scare the Tribuneand Mr. Farley from the track by raising the “ery that the agitation of the Chinese question at this particuiar time will weaken the cause of the hydraulic miners. This objection is a mere subterfuge offered in the interest of the employers of mongolian labor. We say now, as we said when we demanded the discharge of the Chinese from the hydraulic mines of this county, and kept saying till we won the fight, If THE HYDRAULIC MINES CANNOT .CONTINUE IN oOPERATION WITH FREE WHITE LABOR, THE SOONER THEY SHUT DOWN THE BETTER. Chinamen are the curse of Sierra county, and their presence there in such large numbers is solely due to the selfish policy of a few wealthy owners of hydraulic mines. It is always in order to create public sentiment against such acourse. The statement that this is an “inopportune” time to discuss the matter is cometbing that no one in Nevada county was silly enough to say when the fight was going on here. The parties who spring such an argument in Sierra county must take the people there for simpletons, AAR AEE TE IIT Tue most unpleasant phase of the triennial conclave was the shabby treatment ofa large number of the press representatives at the Mechanics’ Pavilion Sunday, when a fellow named Starbird, who was a member of the Knights Templar Committee, clothed with a little brief authority,, refused to admit them although they presented the proper, credentials. Without the assistance of the press the conclave would have been ‘afailure, and his fellow Knights should severely rebuke Starbird . for his insolence toward their best friends. Morpuy, the. English butcher, who has often challenged Webb, and who had always contended that Webb would never succeed in breasting the Niagara whirlpool, has met witha similar death to that which overtook the captain. Murphy on more than one occasion challenged Webb to dare with him the Ribble whirlpool. Murphy undertook. to swim this fearful pool on the very day Webb attempted to swim Niagara and was drowned, Iv is said that Miss Maggie Mitchell refreshes herself between the acts when playing, by a sponge bath with rum. The Norristown Herald has noticed that a great many young men in the audience refreah themselves between the acts in pretty much the same way—with the difference that the bath is applied internally. Uncie Sam’s farm now contains about 950,000,000 acres, one-third of which has little or no value. He has settled his boys on farms occupying an area of about 600,000,000 acres. So it appears that the old man has a little land still left, though he has of late been disposing of from 15,000,000 to 18,000,090 acres annually. a0: Tue clerks at the Palace Hotel during the past few days have been enjoying a novel experience.

(8. F. Daily Exchange.) Call and Chronicle before the The assembling of the Conclave did not bear each other any great love. They were were business rivals,. But now a great and most delightful--change has taken place. Both journals were. anxious to make an impression on our visitors by the publication. of a colossal edition. The Chronicle sent a message to the Call that its monster edition was already, but.that-it would not run it off until the Call got its monster edition out first, and thus had won the principal credit for enterprise. The Call generously replied to this, that although its monster edition was actually on the press, there it would rest until the Chronicle’s monster edition was in the hands of the Templars. This put the Chronicle in an awkward position. Evidently its*rival was determined to out-do it in generosity. Yet, ifitdid not accept this magnanimous offer the. Call’s press would be at a standstill and its busness might suffer. Therefore the Chronicle ran its monster edition off on Sunday, and the Call nobly waited until Tuesday before putting its monster edition in the hands of the public. But the beautiful sentiment exhibited in the mutual self-denial of both journals did not stop here. No sooner was the Chronicle’s edition printed than the Call implored its readers to admire it, and buy it up, and lavished the most extravagant praises on the really excellent manner in which the work was done. ‘And all this time not'a word about its own intentions, not aline advertising its own monster edition »thatwas tocome. It wasin the hdarids . i of its staunch friend, the Chronicle, and it knew it would be well treated. Nor were those . expectations. disappointed: When the Call’s monster edition appeared, the Chronicle threw up its hands in ecstasy, and protested that since the invention of the printing press never was such a feat of journalism accomplished, It and buy the Call and frame it, and send it abroad to all its relatives and friends. Thus was the San Francisco journalistic millennium brought about. It is the strangest thing that has ever occurred in this city, and we must thank the Templars for it. WITHIN a secluded enclosure on Columbia avenue, Philadelphia, 14 women are practicing for positions in two basehall mines which are to be composed of women only, and are to travel about the country and play match games wherever it is thought the exhibition will prove to be profitable. The players, who are to Be: neatly uniformed, are engaged on regular salaries, and their managers expect that they will make a fortune. Practice has now been goiag on for about a week, andif the street urchins who during that-time have glued their eyes to knot-holes in the fence surrounding the ball ground are fair critics, ae reasonable degree of proficiency has already been attained, Peruars the most law-abiding and patient persons in the world are the newspaper writers. Newspaper writers never strike. The intelligent compositors may rise in wrath, but the newspoper writer quietly pushes his pencil, trusting in Providence and his proprietor and hoping for better times. Be his salary ten dollars or forty dollars it is all the same, Sometimes he ‘‘severs his connection” and sometimes, when discharged, he ‘‘resigns,” but he never strikes, aioli Corvsa county is making new, if not prodigious, efforts to turn the Sacramento river upon the foothills, so as to flood 250,000 acres of land. They claim it wiil add at least $40 an acre in vaiue, equal to ten millions in all. This will add some millions every year to the wheat crop. Itis estimated that two and a half millions of dollars will build thecanal.

Trust Not the Tale—Certain De~ductions. “How high was that? Just. read that again,” sang out young Yardstiek, one of our boarders, who is in the dry-goods line, to Professor Seedling who sometimes read aloud a paragraph, after supper. The Professor complied, lending the beauty of his voice to the following statement: “In the year 1773 a Dutchman named Roggewein discovered Easter Island, and reported that the men on that island measured twelve feet in height, although ‘the women were commonly not above ten or eleven feet high.” ‘*Well,”’ said young Yardstick, ‘‘in my opinion he was a Flying Dutchman and a lying Dutchman,” and the other boarders agreed with him. While nobody desires American ladies to be giants, all would be delighted to see them well and ‘strong. Yetathousand causes combine to keep a large proportion miserable. Too much confinement in heated rooms, or in the same house, multiplied.domestic and family worries, want of sleep, little illnesses hard to describe, but peculiar to their sex— are the wolfisl? pack that drive the women ‘‘half out of their Leads,” Miss M.
