The Able Productions of Two Yeung Ladics from Nevada County. The San Francisco papers speak highly of the essays read at St. Mary’s Hall, Benecia, last Wednesday, by the graduates whose homes are in Nevada county. The esaay of the valedictorian of the class, Miss Jennie M. Marsh of Nevada City, was upon the topic : ‘Deeds are Men, Words are Women.” Miss Marsh said that to a student of human nature what has ever apcalla strange is the tenacity with which men cling to ideas ; the obstinacy which refuses to look beneath the tinkle of a sounding theory or oppose the meaning of an epigrammatic maxim. For nearly two thousand years the world’s mind slept, ‘. or but dreamed fantastic addenda to the oft times monstrous philosophy which began to take definite shape in the age of Aristotle and Plato, False astrology had a stronger hold up)n the people than true astronomy will ever have. We dwellers in the light of modern science smile at the credulity which accepted the theory that “‘the stars are nailed like:bright studs in a crystalline sphere for oynaments,” But so late as the beginning of the seventeenth century Galileo was offered and imprisoned. for asserting there were more than seven members in the solar system. Miss Marsh recounted many fallacies, not only those of past times, but also those of the present. Tributes were paid to Florence Nightingale, to the women who distinguished themselves by their humanitarian zervices in the Franco-Prussian war, and in our Civil war and to others, and in conclusion said that these examples substantiate that women have strength beyond the strength of sinews, “Who can contemplate their devotion and resolution without exclaiming—here is real heroism; here are deeds worthy to be sung.” Miss Alice L. Foster of Grass Valley had for her subject, ‘‘Atlantis,” This subject was treated with much care. . She referred to the researches of Ignatius Donnelly, member of Congress, concerning Atlantis,and to the discoveries of the ‘Challenger’ explorations in deep sea soundings with the theories deduced therefrom. Mias Foster argued in favor of the former actual existence of. the great istand of Atlantis which was said to have been submerged and lost under the ocean, She said that we are but beginning to understand the past, “One hundred years ago the world knew nothing of Pompeii or Herculaneum; nothing of the lingual which binds together the Indo-European nations; nothing of the meaning of the arrow-head inscriptions of Babylon; nothing of the marvelous civilization revealedin the remains of Yucatan, Mexico and Peru.” She concluded that ‘‘we are on the threshold. Scientific investigation is advancing with giant strides, Who shall say that one hundired years from now the great museums of the world may not be adorned with gems, statues, arms and implements from Atlantis while the libraties of the world chall contain translations of its inscriptions, throwing new light upon all the past history of the human race and all the great problems which now perplex the thinkers of our day?” Sacred Concert To-night. The Lew Johnson’s Original Tennessee Plantation Jubilee Singers arrived here yesterday and‘last eveing gave one of their novel and delightful entertainments et the Theatre. To-night they will hold a sacred concert at the same place, with the rates of admission ° to. all parts of the house reduced to fifty cents, children being charged half price, The music will be of an appropriate character, and the strictest church members need not, we are assured, have any hesitancy in attending as the strictest Sabbath decoruin will be preserved on the stage and in the auditorfum. A Crazy Chinaman. Constable Cummings of Nortf Bloomfield yesterday brought to the County Jail a.crazy . Chinaman. The prisoner has a’ mania for building fires in outof the way places, giving as a reason for so doing that he wants to get warm. The citizens of North Bloomfield were afraid he might‘make a bonfire of their beautiful and _ enterprising tewn, and so they concluded.to put him where he would have no opportunity to do harm, Aired ae is tae sk cies ing to the morn, While yet the dew hangs on the thorn, Exnales less sweetness than is wont .

Postmaster Williams has« after . considérable research obtained what rhe says is a correct list’of his predecessors and the time of their service. Alexander Blanton was the first appointeee, going into office in 1850, He only served part of his term, Dr. T. P. Overton, Dr. Spear and Dr. Wm. Clarkson each eervinga portion of the unexpired term in the order named, In 1854 Robert A. Davidge was ‘appointed, but served only:served part of his term, being succeeded during the balance of it by William H. Eadicot. John T. Crenshaw was appointed in 1858, but resigning before his" term had expired was followed by W. C. Bradley who was in 1861 succeeded by Ed. F. Bean. In 1865 came Frank Guild, in 1870 G. von Schmittburg, in 1874 H. H. Haskins, in 1878 J. S. Holbrook, and in 1883 Thomas Mein resigned shortly after being appointed to take a more lucrative position in a mine in South America, Wallace J. Williams is completing his term. Mr. Williams finds that until the spring of 1851 the mail was brought from Sacramento once-a week by Justin Fordyce who used a mule in transporting it. The mule was succeeded as carrier by a line of daily stages, A A Handsome Uniform. The uniform of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias consists of a black suit with single breasted Prince Albert coat for the Sir Knights, and a dark blue suit with double breasted coat for the officers, The Sir Knight’s coat is faced with a row of nine white-metal buttons, bearing the legend, ‘Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias,” surrounding a lily. The shoulders are adorned with epaulettes or straps, in crimson plush edged with silver lace, with the lily in the center. The gauntlets are of buff leather edged with red, and carry a white-metal shield with the lily device. The sword-belt is of red morocco, fancy-stitched, with slides, bearing the Ki of P. monogram, to which are attached the chains supporting the sword, which is also very handsome, the hilt being surmounted by the eagle perched on knightly helm. The nickel telmet, which weighs three pounds, is a very showy piece of head-gear, the scarlet plume sweeping completely over the crest from front to rear. The fatigue-cap and the rest of the outfit are in strict keeping with the chief items, the whole presenting an imposing appearance, Look Up Your Old Coins. The following coins of the United States, if in good condition, are salable at the prices given: Dollars of 1794, $10 to $25; 1836, 1838, 1839, 1851, 1854, 1858, from $3 to $7 each; 1795 to 1803,.inclusive and 1855 and 1856, $1 20 to $2 each.

The Chinese miners at Jones Bar, on the South Yuba river, are making extensive preparations for fluming theriver. The bar was at one time a noted mining camp, but for a number of years past the mining done there has been almost exclusively by Chinamen. Joseph Hayes who was one: of the victims of the Foreat Springs mining catastrophe, left a widow and six young children in destitute circumstances, Citizens have subscrlbed $100 for their relief, The new North Star Mining Co. have nearly perfected. all arrangements for the starting up of operations on their property, and expect to commence upon the actual work of setting up a steam plant for hoisting, pumping, etc., early in June, The negotiations for removing the powerful engine and pumps on the Scotia mine to the North Star have been successful, ~>>———— Must Stop at Midnight. English society is successfully combating the eystem of late-hour parties, which in the long run proves so detrimental to feminine beauty. The Loridon leaders of. fashion have introduced a series of entertainments called ‘‘Cinderellas,”. which, being interpreted, means parties that end exactly at 12 o’clock, No matter what may be going on at that time, whether a mazy waltz or a stately cotillion, ‘the rule isinexorable, and the dancing must cease when the clock sounds the hour of midnight, The festivities begin at an early hour, no elaborate supper is spread, and, with the detrimental late hours and late repasts out of the way, the English belles hope to preserve their good looks. a Singular Arithmetical Fact. Any number of figures you may wish to multiply by 5 will give the same result if divided by 2, an easier and quicker operation; but you must remember to annex a cipher to the answer when there is no remainder, and when there is a remainder, whatever it, may be, annex a 5 to the answer. Multiply 464 by 5, and the ahswer will’ be 2,320; dividing the same number by 2, you have 232, and, as there is no remainder, you adda cipher, Now, take the number 357, and maltiply by 5, you have 1785; divide the same by 2, and it gives 178 with a remainder; you therefore annex a 5, and the result is again 1785. Take Particular Notice. We have received a full line of Gents’ Furnishing Gocds, consisting of fine French calico shirts of all the latest patterns of this season,_.Every shirt has three collars, and they will be sold a great deal cheaper than they can be bought in San Francisco.

Tributes were paid to Florence Nightingale, to the women who distinguished themselves by their humanitarian zervices in the Franco-Prussian war, and in our Civil war and to others, and in conclusion said that these examples substantiate that women have strength beyond the strength of sinews, “Who can contemplate their devotion and resolution without exclaiming—here is real heroism; here are deeds worthy to be sung.” Miss Alice L. Foster of Grass Valley had for her subject, ‘‘Atlantis,” This subject was treated with much care. . She referred to the researches of Ignatius Donnelly, member of Congress, concerning Atlantis,and to the discoveries of the ‘Challenger’ explorations in deep sea soundings with the theories deduced therefrom. Mias Foster argued in favor of the former actual existence of. the great istand of Atlantis which was said to have been submerged and lost under the ocean, She said that we are but beginning to understand the past, “One hundred years ago the world knew nothing of Pompeii or Herculaneum; nothing of the lingual which binds together the Indo-European nations; nothing of the meaning of the arrow-head inscriptions of Babylon; nothing of the marvelous civilization revealedin the remains of Yucatan, Mexico and Peru.” She concluded that ‘‘we are on the threshold. Scientific investigation is advancing with giant strides, Who shall say that one hundired years from now the great museums of the world may not be adorned with gems, statues, arms and implements from Atlantis while the libraties of the world chall contain translations of its inscriptions, throwing new light upon all the past history of the human race and all the great problems which now perplex the thinkers of our day?” Sacred Concert To-night. The Lew Johnson’s Original Tennessee Plantation Jubilee Singers arrived here yesterday and‘last eveing gave one of their novel and delightful entertainments et the Theatre. To-night they will hold a sacred concert at the same place, with the rates of admission ° to. all parts of the house reduced to fifty cents, children being charged half price, The music will be of an appropriate character, and the strictest church members need not, we are assured, have any hesitancy in attending as the strictest Sabbath decoruin will be preserved on the stage and in the auditorfum. A Crazy Chinaman. Constable Cummings of Nortf Bloomfield yesterday brought to the County Jail a.crazy . Chinaman. The prisoner has a’ mania for building fires in outof the way places, giving as a reason for so doing that he wants to get warm. The citizens of North Bloomfield were afraid he might‘make a bonfire of their beautiful and _ enterprising tewn, and so they concluded.to put him where he would have no opportunity to do harm, Aired ae is tae sk cies ing to the morn, While yet the dew hangs on the thorn, Exnales less sweetness than is wont .

Alexander Blanton was the first appointeee, going into office in 1850, He only served part of his term, Dr. T. P. Overton, Dr. Spear and Dr. Wm. Clarkson each eervinga portion of the unexpired term in the order named, In 1854 Robert A. Davidge was ‘appointed, but served only:served part of his term, being succeeded during the balance of it by William H. Eadicot. John T. Crenshaw was appointed in 1858, but resigning before his" term had expired was followed by W. C. Bradley who was in 1861 succeeded by Ed. F. Bean. In 1865 came Frank Guild, in 1870 G. von Schmittburg, in 1874 H. H. Haskins, in 1878 J. S. Holbrook, and in 1883 Thomas Mein resigned shortly after being appointed to take a more lucrative position in a mine in South America, Wallace J. Williams is completing his term. Mr. Williams finds that until the spring of 1851 the mail was brought from Sacramento once-a week by Justin Fordyce who used a mule in transporting it. The mule was succeeded as carrier by a line of daily stages, A A Handsome Uniform. The uniform of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias consists of a black suit with single breasted Prince Albert coat for the Sir Knights, and a dark blue suit with double breasted coat for the officers, The Sir Knight’s coat is faced with a row of nine white-metal buttons, bearing the legend, ‘Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias,” surrounding a lily. The shoulders are adorned with epaulettes or straps, in crimson plush edged with silver lace, with the lily in the center. The gauntlets are of buff leather edged with red, and carry a white-metal shield with the lily device. The sword-belt is of red morocco, fancy-stitched, with slides, bearing the Ki of P. monogram, to which are attached the chains supporting the sword, which is also very handsome, the hilt being surmounted by the eagle perched on knightly helm. The nickel telmet, which weighs three pounds, is a very showy piece of head-gear, the scarlet plume sweeping completely over the crest from front to rear. The fatigue-cap and the rest of the outfit are in strict keeping with the chief items, the whole presenting an imposing appearance, Look Up Your Old Coins.

The Chinese miners at Jones Bar, on the South Yuba river, are making extensive preparations for fluming theriver. The bar was at one time a noted mining camp, but for a number of years past the mining done there has been almost exclusively by Chinamen. Joseph Hayes who was one: of the victims of the Foreat Springs mining catastrophe, left a widow and six young children in destitute circumstances, Citizens have subscrlbed $100 for their relief, The new North Star Mining Co. have nearly perfected. all arrangements for the starting up of operations on their property, and expect to commence upon the actual work of setting up a steam plant for hoisting, pumping, etc., early in June, The negotiations for removing the powerful engine and pumps on the Scotia mine to the North Star have been successful, ~>>———— Must Stop at Midnight. English society is successfully combating the eystem of late-hour parties, which in the long run proves so detrimental to feminine beauty. The Loridon leaders of. fashion have introduced a series of entertainments called ‘‘Cinderellas,”. which, being interpreted, means parties that end exactly at 12 o’clock, No matter what may be going on at that time, whether a mazy waltz or a stately cotillion, ‘the rule isinexorable, and the dancing must cease when the clock sounds the hour of midnight, The festivities begin at an early hour, no elaborate supper is spread, and, with the detrimental late hours and late repasts out of the way, the English belles hope to preserve their good looks. a Singular Arithmetical Fact. Any number of figures you may wish to multiply by 5 will give the same result if divided by 2, an easier and quicker operation; but you must remember to annex a cipher to the answer when there is no remainder, and when there is a remainder, whatever it, may be, annex a 5 to the answer. Multiply 464 by 5, and the ahswer will’ be 2,320; dividing the same number by 2, you have 232, and, as there is no remainder, you adda cipher, Now, take the number 357, and maltiply by 5, you have 1785; divide the same by 2, and it gives 178 with a remainder; you therefore annex a 5, and the result is again 1785. Take Particular Notice. We have received a full line of Gents’ Furnishing Gocds, consisting of fine French calico shirts of all the latest patterns of this season,_.Every shirt has three collars, and they will be sold a great deal cheaper than they can be bought in San Francisco.
