“. ” paper says:
that the worst mining fraude prepequiet or confidence game class. Men
come here with letters of introduc* tion. to respectable merchants or
others; quietly show samples of ore
which have been borrowed or stolen
from.a good mine; work their way
into a financial circle; whisper statements of fabulous richness; yain
the confidence of afew an! induce
others to fall in_by showing a list of
~ Yespectable names; gather in all the
ready cash possible and foid_ their
tents and steal away. The victims
generally pocket their losses in_silence, being ashamed to speak about
it. The pretence on the part of con.
fidence operators is the scheme is tvo
good and the association too conservative to seek newspaper publieity. The real fact ia, that the frau,
if advertised, would be exposed. The
man who steals around Boston try“fing to float a mining scheme on the
quiet, is the one to be supicious of.
who boldly challenges investigation.”

APOSTATE SEARS.
Ex Senator W. H. Seara goes to
Nevada City to-day.—Sacramento
Bee, Monday. —
This'man Sears is one of the bitterest and most uncompromising
howlers against the interests of Nevada and other miuing counties that
' the last Legislature. He ranks with
Ohlyer, Sexey, Stone, and McUlatchy
in point of being a virulent anti-min
ifg.fanatic, but we do not credit
him with the honesty of intentions
that we do some of his loud-mouthed
fellows, He used to be a miner in
this county, and is eminently qualified from his knowledge of ‘its toPography to come here now as a spy
on the. miners’ movements. If he
proposes to combine with his other
business hére the hunting up of votes,
he will be able to. appreciate the
truth of the old adage that oil and
water will not mix. Our peop!e have
no love for ApostateSears, aud some
time the day of reckoning will come.

Pleas, Bedford county, Pennsylvania. Jéremiah 8. Black was Judge uf
the court, The examination of applicants for admission to practice had
been so loosely conducted for some
years, that Judgs Black became indignant, aud he made a rule that a
committee of three should be appointed "hy the court to examine all
applicants, the committee to be
changed every yea. He had the
committee sworn to discharge their
duty faithfully, and he required
them to make their-examinations in
his presence, Young McFarland
was the first applicant who same under the new rule. He wasexamined
at nivht, in a hotelio Chambersburg,
in Judge Black’s bedroom. The
weather was warm and Judze Black
lay upon his bed, his coat off. Judge
Lewis, afterwards Supreme Judye;
was visiting him. The applicant had
no companion with him in his extremity, and betrayed yreat trepidation. The examination commenced.
The committee would ask the applicanta question, and then Judge
Black would put one to them. The
young man answered the committee’s
questions better than they did Judge
Black’s. Soon he was ateade and the
ation afforded Judges Black and
Lewis much amnsement, and at its
close the committee seemed to feel
more relief than the student. The
latter was given his license to practice, being then-twenty-one,

bar, and the Supreme Court decision,

JUDGE OF THE FOURTZENTH D'STRICT.
-In 1861,° after a _2Ouparativel
brief career at the baf, Judge McFarland was elected District Judge of
the Fourteenth Judicial District,
which then embraced Nevada* county aloné.s His sucvess. was'a surprise

ablest man of the county, and then
District Judge. Judge Searls had
given very general satisfaction and
was very popular. The constitutional amendments of 1863 cat off
two-thirds of Judge McFarland’s
term, but he was re-elected for a full
term, the Democrats not putting a
candidate in the field. The District
had-been-enlarged and now.comprised Nevada and Placer counties.
In 1869, at the close of his second
term, he was agai nominated by his
party, and the disirct was R-publican by 1,200 majority. The Democrats had nominated before. J. K
Byrue could have bad their nomination but declined it. It Was given
to Judge T. B. Reardan, who had returned from Virginia City, Nevada,
and settled fn Nevada City, California, Desiring to extend his acquaintance, Judge Reardan accvpted the
nomination from business motives;
he hardly expected to be elected.

the wall in 1869, and the Democrats
elected all their candidates for “District Jnages,His’ judicial life presents two
striking. instances to show that

tried more criminal cases than any

only one of his judgments was ever

A VALUABL® CLIENT,
Judge McParland is the principal
attorney employed by the Central
Pacific Railroad Company in Sacramento, Having been engaged by
the Supervigors of Placer county
soon after his location at the capital
to contest acase with that company,
and, having been suceessful, he was
surprised to find himself in a few
weeks thereafter retained by the
coupany in aninportant case “~p-nding in Stockton. Since then, for ten
years steadily, he has been the regular railroad attorney in his section of
the State.
BEATS THE SUNDAY LAW. _
Judge McFarland was th. first,
lawyer tu secure a unanimous jury
against the Sunday law. He recently
defended four cases at Sacramento
under this law—two of saloon-keep
ers, one acigar store proprietor, anid
one a hotel-keeper. In various parts
of the State since the last Supreme
Court decision on this question, jaries had disagreed in cases where
the fact of breaking the Sabbath had
been cleary established; but in Judge
McFarland’s cases the jury acquitted.
PLITICAL Views, Er,
Judge McFarland was ‘a Whig till
the Republican party got under full
sail and since then he has always
been in the latter ship. He is astalwart of the Stalwarts. Inthe State
Convention in 1880 he made an impromptu and veheinent speech eulogistic of Grant, and fora time it
looked as if he would break the

AINAXAB
HEALTH IS BEAUTY.
There isnothing more attractive than-the
sight of a periectly healthy voman. The
secret of beauty is a clear, fresh and pure
complexion, Persons using powders and
paints have-s doughy skin, full of black
spots. the skin is of a sallow color, unhealthy
and often covered with pimples,
In such cases the AINAX AB is particularly useful, as it remedies the deleterious action of thosegpreparations, and while itehances their effect, it prevents the harm
which. they -would otherwise occasion, It
will restore the circulation of the blood in
the capillary vessel, it will give back the
elasticity. of the skin: _ twill remove all the
effete matter Which forms layers on the
skin; it will clear the pores and give them
bavk the power of opening and contracting,
which a healthy person possesses, It will
most positively cure PIMPLES, and remove
BLACK WORM, tetter, sores. of any kind,
redness, either induced by congestion of the
capillary vessels or indulgence at the tuble.
Its action ‘on the circulation will bring back
‘he natural color to the hair. No remedy
has yet been found co cure the inflammation
produced by POISON OAK as effectually
and rapidly as the AINAXAB.
The AINAXAB contains neither mercury,
lead, bismuth, nitrate of silver, nor any mineral or vegetable salts, which could in the
feast injure the most delicate compiexion;
itca beused largely with perfect. confidence,
