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withdrawn‘ it in favor of Chandler’s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.

WASHINGTON DISTRICT.
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.

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,

SOME MIGHTY GOOD ADVICE.
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.
Moreover, it is the grand specific for
fever and ague. ;

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. A yard
