A Temporagteave. of Absence.
Judge Robinson, who has for several
months past been editing the Herald
of this city, announces that he will for
atime atleast abandon: that occupation in order to give more attention to
his mining interests. The Transcrier
man is for one very sorry to have him
do this, as the relations of the two
have been of the pleasantest sort. Mr.
Robinson is not only a writer of superior ability, but he has a soul above
and beyond the spites and meannesses
that sometimes get mixed up with the
business. Mr, Robinson will retain
his ownership in the paper, but Mr.
Gray, his junior partner, will resume
the editorial charge of it, a position he
for a long time filled with infinite
credit to himself and_perfect-satisfaction tothe Herald’s readers. The Transcript is sorry_to—lose—Mr.—Robinson
a3 an active co-laborer, but it is glad
to again be hitched up with so genial
and capable a gentleman as Mr.
Gray.
Why Boston Ravine is sc Called.
There is prevalent an impression
that Boston Ravine, Grass Valley’s
blooming southern suburb, is so called
because a party of Bostonians were the
original settlers of the place. A search
of the early mining records of Grass
Valley district indicates that this is the
wrong explanation. In those old records frequent reference is made by
locators in describing the boundaries
of their claims to the house and lot of
a man named Boston. A pioneer says
that the ravine was named from this
Mr. Boston.
Good Results in Every Case,
D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper
dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes
that he was seriously afflicted with a
severe cold that settled on his lungs;
had tried many remedies without benefit. Being induced to try Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, did
so and was entirely cured by use of a
few bottles. Since which.time he has
used it in his family for all Coughs and
Colds with best results. This’ is the
experience of thousands whose lives
have been saved by this Wonderful
Discovery. ‘Trial bottles free at Carr

THE FIX OF THE HYDRAULICKERS.
A, Bad Case That Could Not be Made
Much Worse—The Animosity
of the Anti-Miners,
_&
San Francisco, May 2, 1887.
Eprror Transcript :—May Day was
observed yesterday by a grand outpouring to the park and ocean beach.
-Itmaybe safely-said-that-on a pleasant Sunday, more people, including
women and children, pass the hours
at these favorite resorts than at all the
churches put together. San Francisco is more favored in healthful resorts
than-any—other great city in the world.
No where else can a beautiful park be
found so near the ocean beach, and
both so near the city. The Bois de
Bologne at Paris, Hyde and St. James
parks of London, etc., are “attractive
in their way ; but they lack the grand
swell of the solemn ocean and the
fiesh salt breezes, that are so invigorating after a week’s toil at the work
bench or in the close office. And
there is now, or. soon will be; littl
left. to be desired on the score of accessibility. The cable. cars running
and to’run to the park and beach tak:
people from almost any part of th
city, and for a f:w cents. set them
down among the flowers or on the
clean sand.
Adolph Sutro is the présent owner of
the Ocean House and adjacent property, and is spending a good. deal oi
the money he got for his interest in
the -Sutro-tunnelin-making that re:
gion attractive for visitors. Year.
ago he was strenuously contending for
a loan of $2,000,000 from the Unitea
Stutes government to drive his celebrated “hole in the ground.” Wha
he could not get out of the government
he got the‘ Britishers to inyest, ana
they still have the “hele” while he
has the only profit that has ever beer
made froin it, and that was the money
they paid him to dropout. It_is for
tunate for the government that Sutro
the most accomplished lobbyist know!
to fuine, did not persuade it to advance the desired capital. Well, i
English money beautifies the sur
roundings of San Francisco, I for onc
do not object.
It was a very pleasant sight yesterday to see the little ones enjoyin,
themselves in the park. But. th
Sharon bequest will make more am
ple and special provision for them by
and by.
Speaking of the proposed railroad
from Shingle Springs to Phecerville,
the Oakland Tribune takes ovcasion tc
puff El Dorado county as the Queen o
the foothills. Perhaps it is, but you
could show that paper something in
the shape of a Queen in Nevada county, if he ever ventured away from the
fogay, sultry-spet_yclept Oakland.
The same writér says: ‘The hy=draulic miners are doing themselves
infinite injury by-indulging—inthreats
against parties who go into the mining counties, with or without official
commissions, to ascertain whether the
miners are observing the law. ‘The
immunity which can be gained by this
course of intimidation must necessarily be short and profitless, and it will
tell heavily against the miners when
the matter comes up in Congress the
next time.”
How the hydraulic miners can get
theircase into a worse plight than
the present total confiscation ~of all
their property, and mining made a
crime before the law, while hoards of
greedy spies overrun the foothills,
eking out their stipends by blackmail,
and indulging in revenge where they
cannot bleed the miners; magnifying
every act done, to the prejudice of the
miners, and often causing innocent
nien to be hauled by deputy marshals
and sheriffs scores of miles from home ‘
how things can be worse than this is
hard to ‘un.erstand. The Congresstan who représents Oakland, and
whom the Enquirer wears: by, was
one of.our most bitter foes, and worked with Stanford, (who got his first
start by selling kerosene to miners)
to have mining declared a crime by
United States law. The miners have
seen their property tied up, their machinery rusting on the ground, their
liberties infringéd, and every avenue
of hope closed by judges who. had
prejudged their cases in advance, and
determined to cinch them before a
word of testiniony was heard, and it
is not unnatural that here and there
some are found who kick against the
pricks,
Will this learned scribe please. tell
what we may expect from Congress?
Is Stariford waiting to see if the miners are submissive before changing
his course? Is Jo McKenna showing
any sigy of repentance for having
branded as a crime one of the most
ancient and honored pursuits known
to this State or the world?—a pursuit
sanctioned by the patents issued to

county, presided, and W. T. Gibbs
ited as secretary. A considerable
vumber of miners who had come to
this-state-prior—to—the “fifties” were
present. It was suggested that the society should be an adjunct to the pio1eérs, as it was proposed to allow men

THE TEACHERS. —

Second Day of the County Institute—
Some Able Essays and Lively
Discussions.
At the Institute yesterday morning
the reporter noticed that when the roll
was called a large number of the
teachers were marked absent as usual.
When the » Secretary had finished
marking, Miss Nettie’ Breed favored
the Institute with an instrumental
solo, after which S. A. Bulfinch read
an essay upon the subject of teaching
grammar. All that the reporter feels
like saying about Mr. Bulfinch’s essay
is that in our Ppinion it was the best
written essay upon that subject. that
we have ever heajd or read. It should
be published, together Mr. Bulfinch’s
remarks upon the subject, and spread
broadcast throughout the State so as
to be read by all educators. Itshould
be not only read, but’ practiced. By
the way, Mr. Bulfinch’s idea of teaching-grammar would to a great extent
make parents, as well asschoolmarms,
teachers of language. Hencé we say
it should be published in full by the
TRANSCRIPT, or some other first-class
live paper, so that all may know and
practice the many sensible and excel‘Tent ideas advanced by Mr. Bulfinch.
After the essay the subject .of teaching
grammar was discussed by Messrs.
Crowell, Herrod, Stone, Gray and
Hill, Pee
The discussion, which lasted but a
few minutes, being over, Section work
began and the Institute went to work
inearnest. The réporter was drawn
in the B class as usual; where were a
majority of the best. looking schoolmarms. Prof. T, B. Gray had charge
of this division. He outlined the Gruby system of teaching arithmetic.
Many. of the B division had an opportunity of teHing-how~much-or-howtittle they knew about Gruby. We must
confess that we are about as ignorant
\pow of just what Gruby teaches as we
Were before the exercise. All that
spoke of the old German’s ideas seemed a little in doubt as to just what his
method is, or was, and if they all feel
about this matter as the reporter does
they willlose very little sleep in
delving for the Gruby system or methods. We are a_crank who believes
and has great confidence in Americans
and American systems.
A recess of ten minutes was now ordered.
After recess we were among the B’s
again and listened to Miss Bartling on
the subject of geography. Miss Bartling.read to the division, in a very
pleasing way, an essay upon the teaching of geography. Her Mary Hall
manner of telling pleasing stories
about the different countries suits us
exactly. T::ere is no doubt in our
mind now, or in fact there has never
been since we first read Mary Hall's
stories about tiie method, but that it
is just the way to teach geography to
children, If Miss Bartling. teaches
geography to her class as she read
about teaching it while the B class
was before her, those beys and girls
of Nevada City that are privileged to
attend her school and don’t enjoy the
atudy of geography must admit it is not
the fault of the teacher. Many B’s talked of what their experience in teaching
geography had been. Just what they.
said the reporter is unable to say, but
one thing we know, and that is that
the B’s talked the A’s out of time and
can do it right along.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Miss L. Hinds and Miss Jessie Rich
played an instrumental duet in excellent manner.” .
Miss Maggie Riley was on account of
illness unable to respond when called
upon for her essay on elementary
grammar: Mrs. T. G. Farrer took her
place and read a charming essay on
teaching elementary science in the
lower grades. We are sorry that such
essays Cannot be published and read
by ull parents and teachers, especially
by parents, who by following the
method outlined could direct the
minds of their children in a proper
course of useful reading, a thing that
is much needed among tie young at
this time. ; j
A general discussion on the subject
of map drawing followed, Messrs.
Hedden, Weed, Tiffany, Potter and
Herrod, Miss Doom and others taking
part. There existed a diversity ot
opinion _asto just precisely how
much and how litile should be done—
whether a mupshould be a map or a
picture, etc. ‘Che discussion was livejy and much useful information was
gained, If we cannot draw any more
vorrect Maps than someof the teachers advocated, it is no wonder there
are so many lawsuits about the lotuuuon of nines.
Miss Ogden read a well-written paper expluuiing Why-it-is so many applicants for certificates fail on aritnmetic. Messrs. Gassaway and Herrod also spoke on the subject,
At recess the Superintendent announced an hour would be devoted by
the Institute to examining exhibits.
Alter recess Miss Amelia Hook rendered w vocal solo in her usual pleusing manner.
‘Lhe subject of the practicability of a
county exnibit at the Institute way
discussed at length by various members.

A'SKATING RINK EPISODE.‘
> mts
How a Nevada City Girl Learnedto Skate
and Gained a Husband.
(Sacramento Bee.)
About two years ago a handsome
young girl arrived in Sacramento from
Nevada City and obtained employment in a widow’s family. The little
maiden from the foothills was as
sprightly as pretty and in a short time
she became a great favorite with her
employer and was treated as one of
the family. Time rolled on. and the
girl was happy and content, but in an
evil hour she accepted an invitation to
visit the skating rink at the old-Pavilion. The flying forms of the skaters
and the sight of such fun on wheels
was a revelation to Katy (as she shall
be called), and she too, fell a victim to
the skating mania and determined to
learn to glide. Being decidedly attractive in form and feature, she found
no difficulty in securing the assistance
of young men who were only too anxious to support her while she was
mastering the first evolutions. The
one most assiduous and untiring in his
efforts to learn Katy to skate, however,
was a dapper young skating-rink
fiend, who was a constant attendant
at the rink and the leader in the contests, carnivals, etc. He was a
splendid skater and a smooth talker,
and he captured Katy’s affections—
with thé"usual skating rink results, In
the course of time, the lady by whom
Katy was employed discovered that
the girl was growing stouter in a way
that could not be entirely attributable
to the new-founl exercise, and she
told the girl of her suspicions. The
latter was indignant and denied everything. The lady was not satisfied,
however, and called in the) family
physician. The girl was furious at
this, denounced the proceedings as an
assault upon her character and told the
doctor of more than thirty years’ experience that he did not know what he
was talking about when he said she
was in trouble. The next morning,
however, Katy was gone. She did not
at once go home, but it 1s thought
that she went to San Francisco. In °
about. two weeks, though, her father
put in an appearance here, having in
charge the girl, blood in his eye, and
a suspicious bulge in the region of his
hip pocket. He made inquiries for the _
young man who had initiated his
daughter into the mysteries of the
skating rink, and he found him. He
escorted the dapper young chap to
the County Clerk’s office, a marriage
license was procured, and Katy was
soon the wife of him whose acquaintance she had made at the Sacramento skating rink,

Who hears the drama, weary .
Behind a hat of size. 4
Tlift my goblet foaming
To that sweet girl, so sage,
Who takes off her hat,
80 polite and pat,
To let us see the stage.
To her I lift the beaker,
Brimming with sparkling wine,
And quaff full measure
To each new pleasure
Her bare head gives to mine.

President Kirkland Indorsed the Flip.
When Dr. Kirkland was president of
Harvard college, Porter's famous hostelry in
North Cambridge wasa favorite resort. One
of the chief attractions of Porter's was the
“flip,” a delectable compound of a decidedly
spirituous flavor, which the college students
keenly appreciated and did not hesitate to
brave the coldest weather to enjoy. Of
course these practices did not escape the attention of President Kirkland, who went up
to the hostelry and asked to see the landlord.
Porter, who knew the president, was greatly
disturbed, as he knew ho should receive a
severe rebuke from the head of the college for
catering to the tastes of convivially inclined
students,
“Mr. Porter,” said Dr, Kirkland, “I understand my young men come up here and drink
your flip.”
“Yes, sir,” replied the tavern keeper, in a
voice which told. how he deprecated the admonition, “they do,”
“Lat me have: some of that flip,” said the
dignified president.
Whereupon a mug of the beverage was
brought out and was tasted by Dr. Kirkland.
Then, fixing a stern glance upon Porter, who
almost trembled under it, the president said;
“And my, yourig men come out here and
drink this stuff, do they?"
“Yes, sir,” meekly replied the tavern
“Well,” said-Dr;~Kirkland, draining the
mug, “I should think they would,”—Boston

A French tourist, who went to England a
few years ago on one of the now popular “all
around the world” tours of. observation, inquired, as soon as he had reached Liverpool,
where he could find the then prinie minister,
Mr. Glasstone, The hotel. people told him
that Mr. Gladstone did not live in Liverpool.
“Not live here,” said the Frenchman, “you
much mistake. Here I have take some notes
from Milord Gladdiston, which say ‘born in
Liverpool,’” The ingenuous Gallican was
hard to convince that a man born in Liverenough to be seen. That's him in the big
straw hat chopping away at that big tree
yonder.” The kindly Frenchman was suffused
with joy, and, taking out his notebook, wrote
of the peculiar customs of the
prime minister

MILLINERY WORK
“A good milliner must be an artist,
for unless they have the taste in combining colors, they will produce only
poor effects with rich materials, — If,
however, the milliner has skill in’ the
management of colors, and original
ideas as to grace and form, it is surprising to see what handsome Bonnets
and Hats can be proruced from even
simple materials.” In our establishment we employ only an efficient: milliner, and aim to display as’ much
skill upon the medium and low-priced
work as on the more expensive kinds.
