When the editor of that paper so far forgets himself as to brand the thonsands of hydraulic miners in this coun“vandals,” it is time that he was brought up on a short turn, in the way the Transcrrer did the business for him a few days ago. That paper repeats the game . trashy story that has been told before a hundred of times by the Sacramento Bee and Marysville Appeal. We would like to know if the articles have been stereotyped and passed around from one anti-debris journal to another? Whether they have or not, they all sound alike—just .as have them read. It is false that a large amount. of land has been ruined by mining debris, or that the crops will be decreased even if ten times the present amount of bydraulic mining is carried on, It is true some land has been destroyed by the one month’s clean up of the North Bloomfield Company alone would pay for all the damage that-has been done in twenty years. The narrowminded editor of the . Independent does not seem to consider—but perhaps itis through his gross ignorance—that if hydraulic mining was rag ay it would ruin property that is yielding about $15,009,000 annually. In this county along if hydraulic miniug is stopped our taxable property would be reduced from $10,000,000 to $5,000,000 accerding to the sworn statement of the Assessor, and throw ont of employment the Independent seems eased to call them. . The Independent gives the farmers’ side of the question only, considering that the miners have no rights whatever, even if the latter carried on the vocation before a thought was ever given to raising wheat. The mivers came here first. Infact everyboly came here on the strength of gold having been discov ered, and nota mother’s son of the anti-miners then dreamed of ra sing garden sass for a living.

When Fish Commission Dibble was in Auburn last week the editor of the Placer Herald talked with him about the assertion recently made by the Bee that slickens was destroying the fish in’ some of the California rivers. The Herald gives his atiswer, which was this: ‘‘I don’t propose to make any puplic reply, but just to illustrate how much trath there is in their assertions I asked Commissiuner Buckingham the other day (and he, you know, lives and has lived right there on the Sacramento river and has been in the salmon fishing business for a great many years) how many canneries were on the Sacramento river five years ago? He answered, five. How many are there now? Thirteen, was the reply. And have the salmon increased accordingly ? He though they had. This seems to knock the bottom out of this much of the Bee’s and the Appeal’s antislickens argument, and now it is perhaps, pertinent to ask: what are they going'to do about it?” a A Sart Lake dispatch of Thursdays says: A miner named Frank James, a Cornishman, was shot dead ‘in Tintic last night. He had been noisy and -quarrelsome, and set himself up for the best man in the district. He has carried two revolvers constantly, even “while at work, About a month ago he went into a saloon and made both the proprietor and barkeeper kneel down and beg for their lives, Last night he arid some others ‘were ina saloon drinking and playing'cardé, and James got up and said he could whip any man in the room, at'the same time flourishing his revolvers and pushing their muzzles against those who were Within reach. Just them a man named Mitchell shot him. Six shots base of the neck, in tront, and lived but a moment. Mitchell is wounded, but not seriously.

There are many curious superstitions and fancies concerning precious ". stones, and one Of them, which as it is elegant and fancifal in its. absurdity is perhaps wotthy of menion in this place, inclades almost the whole group of gems used for ornament, It is a Polish idea that every human being is born under the influence of some destiny, that the month of his nativity has a mysterious connection with this, and that when it is desired to make, a_ present to one greatly valued and loved, a ring should be offered containing a gem expressing some such quality as the destiny would indicate. Each precious stone thus has reference to some particular month; and the following list is copied from a memorandum drawn up by a Pole many years ago: January.—Hyacinth or garnet. Constancy and fidelity in every engagement. .Febroary.—Amethyst. Preserves the wearer from strong-passions, insures peace of mind. March.—Bloodstone. Courage and . succeys in dangers and hazardous enterprises. April. -eSapphire o or diamond. Repentance and innocence. May.—Emerald._ Success in love. Jone.—Agate. Long life and health. July.—Carnelian and Ruby. Forgetfulness, or cure of evils springing from friendship or love, August. —Sardonyx, delity. September. — Chrysolite, Preserves from or cures folly. October.—Aqua-marine , or opal. Misfortune and hope. November.—Topaz. Fidelity and friendship. December.—Turquoise or malachite, Brilliant success and happiness in every circumstance of life. Another curious superstition concerning gems that isthe twelve-Apostles were symbolyzed, each under some one. The list is curious, but one can hardly see the meaning of the allusion, It isas follows: St. Peter—Jasper; St. Andrew— Sapphire ; St. James—Chalcedony; St. John—Emerald; St. Philip—Sardonyx; St. Bartholomew—Cainelian; St. Mathew—Chrysolite; St. Thomas—Beryl; St. Thaddeus—Chrysophrase; St, James the Less—Topaz; St. Simeon—Hyacinth; St. Matthias—Amethyst. The stones in this list are sometimes called the Apostle gems, BORD SE SSE One of the most horrible suggestions ever made is that the Communists should supply the children of royal femnilion with toy pistols, A West Pvint. cadet begins with the same pay which a Prussian captain receives after twenty years’ cer. vice, Conjugal fiBRU'TEL AKRIVALS.
