The pered children of opulence genly turn out to be no-account men women. They have no motive ‘make them exert themselves when young, and when they are old they k thatambition essential to se: prominence and which can be eloped only by a long and thor-. course of training. Nearly all America’s great men, from the days Franklin to those of Garfield, were f boys. Senator Wilson, who fora long time a shoemaker, recently in addressing the people of Great Falls, N.

Tleft my home at ten years ofageand served an apprenticeship ‘of eleven years, receiving a month’s schooling each year, and, at the end of eleven years’ hard work, a yoke ~ ofoxen and six sheep, which brought me eighty-four dollars, A dollar would cover every penny I spent . from the time I was born until I “what it is to travel weary miles and ~“aak my fellow-men to give me” leave’ . to toil. I remember that in September, 1833, I walked into your village from my native town, and. went through your mills seeking employment. If anybody had offered me eight or nine dollarsa month, I should have accepted it gladly. I went down to Salmon Falls, I went to Dover, I went to Newmarket, and tried to get work, without success : —~and Eretaurned home weary, but -not --discouraged;-and-putmy pack on omy back, and walked to the town “where Inow live, and learned a mechanio’s trade. The first month I worked after I was twenty-one years of age, rT went into the woods, drove team, Cut mill-logs, and chopped ‘wood;and rose in the morning before daylight, and worked hard . until} after dark at night, and I received dollars. Andwhen I got themoney, ‘those dollars Jooked to me ‘as large as the moon looks to-night.” t Gatesville, ‘Texas, reappeared with the following setae “We enter upon the ‘leys at irregular intervals. the summit he }an-immense-expense carried to completion, have rendered it possible for bodies of land that years ago could —. nothave been done with safety to “TI was . . was twenty-one years of age.

One great object they have sought, has been to depreciate values in their own localities to their lowest limit, go that the small farmers would be obliged to sacrifice their holdings to them at their own figures. And to accomplish this end, they have resorted to a system of lying that would disgrace Satan himself. They have lied persistently about the present danger, the past and anticipated damages that the lands in question have or likely hereafter to suffer from the usual annual <overfiow. They have lied in this:—that they have laid to the miners what God ordained from the beginning, that the floods of the mountains should sweep over the lowlands of the val For if the testimony in the Gold’ Run slickens-case-has so far proven any . thing, it has shown in the strongest terms and-most unimpeachable manner that the danger from overflow to this same section thirty years ago was more imminent from year to year, and when it occurred more ruinous in its results, than at the present time. And it is reasonable that this should be so, for themen of the mountains, in furthering their own industrial interests, have by building hundreds of immense _storage reservoirs, held back the water of its rivers and streams at'the time of most imminent peril to the endangered lowlands, The truth is, that the miners, by these great works by them undertaken, and at. these men to live and cultivate large themselves or their improvements. If the land owners of the valleys had any gratitude in their composition, they -would erect-monuments-tocom— memorate the great works of the mountaineers that to-day stand as a wall between them and destruction. But this would be too much like acknowledging the falsity and ingratitude of their present position. So much honesty need not be expected from that quarter. OUR EXCHANGES. Half Minute Interviews With the Chiefs of the Sanctum. -—THE-GREAT DOUBTER, [Bodie Free Press.] Colonel Ingersoll’s creed seems to be one great interrogation point, which questions everything and believes in nothing. THE POLYGAMOUS MEMBER, [G. V. Tidings.) If Cannon is not made to get out of the national House of Representatives because he is a believer in ‘and a practicer of polygamy, the House of Representatives does not touch his case, The House of Representatives, -being the-physician-in this case,must-— [not apply the cautery—to the tittle and comparatively harmless pimple of non-citivenship, while it leaves the corroding and spreading and killing ulcer of polygamy untouched by the caustic of exvulsion, MUST PAY THE FIDDLER. "8. F. Call] 1t seems like cruelty to call upon a defeated candidate for money to assist in paying the expenses of a fruitless campsign. This is what Mr. English, candidate on the Demoasked to do, One William D.

George Selby, a student of the Stockton Business College, is under arrest for stealing a gold watch from his room-mate. He has confessed guilt. Stephen Dexter Baldwin, aged 76, one of the oldest Odd Fellows in the State, and a pioneer jeweler of Marysville, was found dead in a chair at his home Friday morning. His death resulted from natural cauges, — J. A. Heflin, of Wapella, Louisa county, Iowa, fatally shot his ‘wife Thursday, and ended his own existence by putting a bullet through his head, —Nothing-as-to the motive_is known, beyond the fact that the couple had been living unhappily together. _ The jury in the case of F. M. MatRailroad, which has been on trial at Los Angeles before Judye Volney E.

Western 48, Southern 59, Middle 21, Pacific coast and Territores 10, New York City 9. The failures in the South are excessive. In New York City no-stoppage of importance occurred. In response toa call from Dennis Kearney, there was a gathering of sand-lotters at No. 771 Market street Thursday night. Kearney announe= ed that to-day he would resume his interrupted series of meetings ‘‘upon that historic spot, now dedicated to liberty and known the world over as the ‘Sand-lot.’” A series of Chinese-must-go resolutions was adopted, and the meeting adjournéd with the determination to reorganize the W, P.

To THE TraDE.—Practical experience has demonstrated to us that the trade requires’a choice old Bourbon for immediate use. For it is well known that whisky that is absolutely pure requires age, care and attention, ‘and our old Davenport whisky possesses all the above qualities. The grain used in the distillation of our J. H. Davenport, _. whisky is always selected from the finest, richest and best grown in the State of Kentucky. The water is drawn from one of the finest limestone springs in the Stute, the peculiar properties which have gained for Kentucky whiskies such world-wide 7 celebrity. This process makes our J, H. Daven 2 a a pure, hand-made sour mash whiskv, and we claim that for delicacy of flavor, purity and medicinal qualities it stands unexcelled. Yours Truly, < Scuurtz & VONBARGEN, AFTER an experience of many years I have at. laat succeeded in finding a whisky (the J. H. Daven port) that is absolutely pure and tree from drags of any kind and which I can recommend for medicinal purposes, I will keep this whisky for sale in future. Call and try it. Itis pure. You willlike it, Du. J. M. Mannina, Droeaisr, Grass sate STRAIGHT WHISKY. Asa great deal has been said about John L.
