The wood se ae reaping a harvest. a Sam Plummer killed a al fox’ near Sugar Loaf Friday. » y ’ If you don’t read the Transcript you don’t get the news. An eminent weather sharp predicts that a big storm will reach this coast next Wednesday. This paper is always pleased to receive for publication communications ‘on subjects of general interest.

Mr. Michell will give a ball at the ' Dancing Academy on the night of St. Patrick’s Day. The particulars will be published in a day or two. The Transcript is regarded by shrewd business men as the best advertising medium inNorthern California. The best is always the cheapest.” J. H. Wentworth’s team started home alone Friday evening from in front of the National Hotel. ~ E. J. Rector stopped the horses when they ‘had gone a few rods. The Board of Directors of the Nevada County Academy Association had a meeting yesterday ‘afternoon. There are now eighteen pupils attending the Academy and the number will be largely increased as soon as the summer term begins. The roofing of the cattle sheds at Glenbrook Park commenced to sink a little in places under the weight of snow that fell-in the late~storm, “but they were promptly cleaned off as soon as the danger was observed and serious danger was averted. At a meeting of Nevada Hose Company No. 1 a committee consisting of E. Rosenthal, L. M. Sukeforth and é W. T. Shurtleff was appointed to confer with Pennsylvania Engine Company No. 2 in regard to having a Firemen’s ball atthis city on the night o! July 4th, which falls on Monday this year. While. Len Holbrook was putting a Ne gcartridge into a breech-loading rifle at Geo. E. Turner’s store, the cartridge = exploded. The ball went through one stove, struck another, and then glanced off in the direction of a young man who was hit on the forehead by a y piece of lead or iron, but fortunately not hurt. : This paper’s editor is also its local reporter, its local reporter is also its mining reporter, its mining reporter is also its proof-reader, its proof-reader is also its make-up, and its make-up is also a dozen other things needful around the office of a live newspaper ; but the Transcript (only 15 cents a week) get the news all the same, according to the verdict of the reading public. Op ———— a. An Embarrassing Situation. At a dancing party in‘Michell’s Hall not 80 very long ago. one young man approached another and said: “Can you introduce me to that charming lady over there with a pink ribbon in her hair ?’’ “Certainly,” said number two, understanding the first speaker to ask him if he would like an introduction toher. , So they sauntered gracefully up to her and paused. . She glanced at them demurely as “ they approached. Neither of them gave her a sign of recognition, and not a word was spoken. Each was ; waiting for.the other to introduce him. They stood there,a minute by the watch, the interrogation points in the fair dameel’s eyes each instant growing bigger. The suspense was awful. The youths gotred in the face and their heads began-to swim. Suddenly’ in their confusion they whirled around & simultaneously and made.a boltfor the ante-room. She laughed a silvery laugh at their unaccountable disecomfiture, and when the echoes of it reached their retreating forms they doubled their speed and almost fell over each other getting out of the hall. When they had escaped from~ the range of her penetrating gaze and voice and had recovered their composure, they compared notes and ascertained where the hitch was. Half an hour later the braver of ; them mustered:up courage enough to introduce himself to the young lady, make an explanation of how the thing happened, and apologize for it, She forgave both of the boys, and now the three are the best of friends.

The Debris Dam Bill's Stuffing Knocked Out. FIVE FRAIL SENATORS “FALL DOWN.” The Persuasive Powers of the Anti-Miners’ Boodle Gets Its Deadly Work in. And the Miners Suffer Defeat. 2 The Bee of Friday evening . says: During Thursday morning and afternoon several determined efforts were made by the hydraulic miners in the Senate to have reconsideration of —S; B, 51—the debris dam_ bill—disposed of. ‘This was strenuously opposed by the anti-slickens people and circumstances so favored them that they were able to stave off the vote all day. Chandler, after the noon recess . today, moved a reconsideration of the vote by which S, B. 51 was passed. Reconsideration was ordered by a vote of 24 to 16. Chandler then moved that the: enacting clause of 8. B. 51 be stricken out. Seconded by several valley Senators. A scene ef the wildest confusion then reigned. Goucher, who had previously made a motion to reconsider the vote by which.the Glenn county bill had been refused, and had withdrawn‘ it in favor of Chandler’s motion, declared. that he had only done it for reconsideration of S. B. 51 —and not for any motion to strike out the enacting clause. He demanded that the Glenn county bill be considered. Dray demanded the previous question, which was seconded, and the Chair ruled that it was entitled to recognition; and that Goucher was out of order. Goucher appealed and the hydraulic miners;-who saw defeat staring them in the face, -bent ' every energy to prevent the vote being taken by supporting Goucher. Patterson declared himself ‘satisfied from the vote on reconsideration that the debris dam bill-had gone up the flume, but the change in some of the votes, he thought, reflected no credit upon the methods of many Senators whom he had heretofore respected. Vrooman endeavored to support Goucher on the basis of a point of order. The Senate refused to sustain the Chair, 19 to 20. : Goucher’s motion to reconsider the Glenn county bill was defeated—18 to 23. Chandler then renewed his motion to strike out the enacting clause of S. 5B. 51. Caminetti moved to postpone the bill till 10 a. m. Saturday. The Chair ruled Caminetti’s motion out of order. The ruling was appealed from, but the Chair was sustained —22 to 18. Filibustering by the miners continued, Caminetti moving an adjournment after roll call had been ‘ordered on striking out the enacting clause of the bill.The chuir decided him out of order. Appeal taken. Chair sustained by a vote of 22 to 18. Previous question called and _ roll call demanded. Carried—30 to 8. The enacting clause was then stricken out by the following vote: Ayes—Boggs, Chandler, Clunie, Crandall, Dixon, Dray, Gesford, Hinshaw, Langford, Leriahan, McCarthy, McCudden, Pinder, Rose, Roth, Sargent, Spellacy, Steele, Sullivan, Wil son, Yell—21. Noes—Abbott, Bowers, Briceland, Byrnes, Caminetti, Conklin, Crimmins, Goucher, Hall, Haynes, Jones, McDonald, Meaney, Moffit, Murphy, Patterson, Vrooman, Walrath, White, —19. Walrath changed his vote and gave notice of reconsideration, The chair decided that he was out of order, the bill having been reconsidered. The decision was appealed from, and Caminetti, satisfied that it would be sustained, moved to adjourn. Motions to adjourn and calls of the house, on each of which the roll call was demanded, alternated, the miners being determined to~ force’ an “adjournment before the Chair’s decision on reconsideration could be formally sustained. -This filibusteringwas -stillin progress at 4 o’clock, CLUNIE THE CULPRIT. The Bee gives Tom Clunie the credit of being the party who succeeded in prevailing upon the five following San Francisco Democrats who voted Wednesday with the miners to take the opposite tack Friday: Lenahan, McCarthy, Pinder, Spellacy, Sullivan. ee ee A Good Stayer.

Low Grode Ore, but Plenty of it—Fine Facilities for Milling and Mining. A recent issue of the Mining and Industrial Advocate contained a comprehensive and reliable description of the quartz mining interests of Washington district inthiscounty. Among other interesting points given were the following: It is destined to become in the near future one of the staple gold-producing camps of California. Already there are three dividend-paying mines developed there, and a dozen or so other properties are in the course of development with very “flattering prospects for the adventurers. _ The formation of the country for four miles east of the town of Washington is ‘‘slate,’’ traversing from This slate is heavily charged with sulphurets and interstratified with seams and veins of quartz. Crossing the South Yuba river, near its junction with Diamond creek, the granite contact occurs. This granite. traverses north and south and extends in width easterly for several miles. The ledges contained therein course with the stratification of the formation and dip easterly, are very large and well-defined, and can. be traced from.,.Diamond creek over the -mountains, crossing the South Yuba river, northerly over the next range, then across Canyon creek clear through the “Baltic and Gambrinus”’ group of mines to Eureka. A peculiarity of all these ledges, where any development work has been done, is that they are not frozen. to either of the walls,and ‘mostly all carry a good ‘‘gauge.’’ The entire Washington District is what’may be termed a ‘low grade’’ district, the rock averaging from $6 to $20 per ton; but when it is taken into consideration that free water power to run mills, hoisting works, and whatmines at a small cost, it will readily be ton will net one-half profit. Inthe Spanish mine, about four miles north and west from the mouth of Canyon creek, where they put through over one hundred tons of ore daily—using four Huntirigton mills— ore that will average $1.50 to the ton nets 75 cents profit. Thus it is that a ledge of low grade gold-bearing quartz —where there is such a large quantity of it—as may be seen in the mines of the Washington Mining District, is 4 most desirable property to own and well worthy of the investment of capital to develop. In conclusion, in no nining district in the State of California, where there has been so little actual outlay, have the mines so well rewarded their owners asin this district, ind right along the line, wherever honest work has been done, the prospects could not be more encouraging.

Monday and Tuesday Evening’s Entertainments. MAJ, HENDERSHOT AND THE AMATEURS. a ger ¢ Two Fine Programs—Description of the Major's Drums—His Remarkable Performances— Tomorrow Night's Bill. On tomorrow and Tuesday evenings, at the Theater in this city, the public will have a chance to tender Major Hendershot, the fame us drummer boy of the Rappahannock, a warm_reception. He will play yp two drums, one presented to him for gallant conduct in the field, by Horace Greeley. The latter-is encircled with a-silver band, Nevada’s precious metal, having the inscription delicately engraved upon one side, and judging from its brightness and good.care the Major must highly prize and treasure it.The other was presented by the Woman’s Relief corps of Maine. Its side is encased in wood resembling the bireh.— This drum he uses generally.. The most remarkable part of the program he usually gives will be his ‘“‘imitation of an engine,” during the last blockade upon the Sierra Nevada mountains. A writer has thus described it: “One could hear the engine puffing with its heavy load moving slowly, then comes the stopping of the driving wheels and the snorting of the smoke-stack. Gradually the engine gains greater speed, chattering over a bridge and entering the snowsheds. When the train emerges from the snowshed the effect is wonderful,.and one is~almost led to believe the engine is about to run over us, and after all it is but the drum that stirs up every fibre of the body and makes the heart beat quicker.”’” But the Major will not be the only attraction. His son, who is an excellent fifer, will accompany him in one or two selections each evening. The best amateur talent of the city will also take part. The performances. will be first-class and equally good both nights. Reserved seats for the opening entertainment can now be obtained at Vinton’s drugstore without extra charge, Following is the order of exercises for THE FIRST EVENING: 1.

About Praying on. the Streets and Elsewhere—Pointers Borrowed From an Ancient Book. i If all the people who read the Transcript should take it into their heads to attend meetin’ ‘today, they would more than fill every church in the county. This gives a faint idea of the big congregation a widely circulated and clean newspaper (terms $6 a year by mail or 15 cents a week by carrier to city subscribers) preaches to six days in the week. But, sad to say, there are more or less people who for one reason or another do not see the inside of a church very often. Hence the following excerptfrom a good old book is given-for the guidance of that portion of them to whom it may be news. It won’t do a particle of hurt.to anybody to-read it.through carefully along with the other good articles which this issue contains: And when thouprayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto vou, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,and when thou hast shut thy door, pray tothy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth ‘in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard fortheir much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: “Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will\be done in earth, as itisin Heaven. Give us thisday our daily bread. _And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver ‘us from evil: For thine isthe kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen,”’ For ifye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. A Whopper from the “Union.” It is well known that colonies of rats . find homes in the underground workings of the mines, where they enjoy good living from the scraps the miners leave from their dinner buckets. The late shut down of our quartz mines, which lasted three and a half weeks, put the rats on short rations, and in the Idaho mine they were reduced to such straits that they resorted to the oil-cans which were used to oil the machine drills. ‘the tops or tnese cans were screwed on; but the rats were ingenious enough to unscrew them, and insert their tails through the mouth of the cans and into the oil, and then satisfy their appetites by licking the oil from their tails. _ An Opera Company Coming. Manager Jacobs has received a letter saying that the Adelaide Randall Bijou Opera Company would like to
appear at this city the latter part of the present month. There are twenty-six people in the troupe and the repertoire includes ‘‘Bohemian Girl,”’ “Princess of Trebizonde,’”’ ‘‘La Mascotte,’’ ‘‘Mikado,” ‘‘Billee Taylor,’ “Chimes of Normandy,” etc. Wretched, Indeed, Are those whom a confirmed tendency to biliousness, subject to the various and changeful symptoms indicative of liver complaint. Nausea, sick headache, ‘ constipation, furred tongue, an unpleasant ‘breath, a dull orsharp painin the neighborhood of the affected organ, impurity of the blood and leés of appetite, signalize it as one of the most distressing, as it. is one of the most common of maladies. There is, however, a benign specific for the disease and all its unpleasant manifestations. It is the concurrent testimony of the public and the medical profession, that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters isa medicine which achieves results speedily felt, thorough and benign. Besides rectifying liver disorder, it invigorates the feeble, conquers kidney and bladder complaints, ‘and hastens the convalescence of those recovering from enfeebling diseases.

An Editer,s Trip Around the World. AN INVITATION OF LONG STANDING. Fryer's Fast Steamship Being Bu ilt—A Nevada City Man's Achievement. Across the Atlantic in Six Days. As stated in these columns some time since, Robert M. Fryer, who formerly resided at this city and is well-known as the inventor of the Fryer process’ of reducing ores, seems to be in a fair -way to at ‘last reap a rich reward in return for the many years of study and thought he has devoted to the subject of marine architeeture._The editor of the Transcript hasa long-standing invitation to take a trip around the world with “Bob” as the latter’s guest when the first ‘Fryer steamship is launched. The following from the’ New York Commercial: News of February 26th ‘indicates that the editor better be getting his affaira in shape toleave town for a few months: re ~There is at last a certainty that the English, French and German steamship lines will cease to control the passenger traffic of the Atlantic, to the, at present, complete exclusion of the American flag*The Arrow Steamship Company, which was incorporated nearly three years ago, and which has been quietly perfecting its plans ever since, has now begun actual work on the pioneer vessel. of a new line, to carry the American flag between New York and Liverpool. This pioneer vessel willbe named the ‘Pocahontas,’’ and will be of an entirely new type of marine architecture, and of such a model and of such power that she will readily be able to make twenty-five miles an hour. The inventor and patentee of the system is Mr. Robert: M. Fryer, a distinguished mechanical engineer of this city, and he is the Engineer-in-Chief of the Arrow Steamship Company. The list of officers, etc., is as follows. T. O'Meara, President. W. H. Clarkson, Secretary. David A, Curtis, Corresponding Secretary. M. M, Searing, Treasurer. Robert M. Fryer, Engineer-in-Chief: James H. Connelly, T. 8. Weaver, with the President, Executive Committee. The principal offices of the company are in the Boreel building, 115 Broadway, and a reporter for this paper yesterday called there and some interesting details relative to the plans of the: company were obtained. The length of the ‘Pocahontas’? gyer all, ig, 549 feet pa ses Per treme depth 46 feet; draught at bow 20 feet and at stern 25 feet 3 inches; tonnage 5,200 tons; capacity of engines 12,000 nominal horse power, with —capability~for—development to most as sharp as a knife-blade, she slopes back 207 feet to her amidship section, and from that tapers again a like distance to her stern. Her model is almost that of Herreshoff’s famous launch, the ‘‘Stiletto,’’ that has a record of 23.7 miles per hour—a speed never till now attained by any other vessel. Butwhilethe greatest amidship sectional area of the‘‘Pocahontas”’ is only 18.2 times as great as that of the “Stiletto,” her engine power is 21.3 times as great, without forcing it beyond the requirements of ordinary service, As the reader may suppose, such a vessel as this is not designed for freight carrying but for an express passenger service. Gen. John Newton, of Hell-Gate fame, one of the foremost of living authorites upon matters of this kind, says that there is no question but a vessel built according to Mr. Fryer’s designs can easily su-tain a Speed of 25 miles an hour. It has only been claimed. for yttee fastest Atlanti¢ steamship now afloat —the “Etruria’’—that she has madea fraction over 20 miles per hour, and she has actually demonstrated her ability to make a little more than nineteen miles an hour, so that with a steamer like the ‘‘Pocahontas’’ to begin with, there is not the least doubt but the ocean traffic of the world would soon be completely revolutionized. The system of construction cannot be used by any other company ; the most complete protection by letters patent having been secured in all countries in which steamship building is a possible thing. _One_ great obstacle to American steamship building heretofore has been in the cost of the iron—which is greater than the amount that. has to be paid by the shipbuilders of the Mersey, the Tyne or the Clyde. The Ar. row Steamship Company have over. come this difficulty. They are contracting for sufficient supplies of Tennessee and Alabama iron, which can be obtained for much less than Pittsburg or other Northern iron, and considerably less than the iron employed in English iron shipbuilding.

It says: It would not: be possible, at this stage ofthe world’s progress, to produce anything else than such a vessel -as this that would so seriously affect such avast amount of European invested capital ; that would be likely to influence such stupendous changes: in existent national and commercial relations; and that would be so glorious a triumph for Americans. This is speaking simply of what she will do as a peaceful passenger carrier.
