The Grant Reception.
_ Te Grant reception at Sacranténto Wednesday was an unqualified
successNxevery sense of the word.
During the forenoon all the surrounditg country kept pouring in, and by
noon there were 10,000 strangers .in
the city. At half pass 12 the pro&2asion was formed on Front street.
Abont midway of the column.was a
earriage drawn by six beautifully caparisoned horses and driven by G.
©. McMullen, containing Gen. Grant,
Governor Wm, Irwin, Senator Newtor Booth and Mayor Jabez Turner,
an lacarriage contaiging Mrs. General Grant,-Mrs. Governor Irwin and
Hon. Henry Edgerton. .
‘The following was the.ine—of

to Second, to K, countermarch to J,
to Sixth, to M, to Tenth, to N, to
south entrance of Capitol: At M

escorted to th: stand, passing’ 5,090 school children who were ranged
The richest joke of the season is
ontwo musicians of Nevada City.
They wege the recipients of att invifation Monday to attend a gathering
of ‘‘the boys” that was to take place
at Grass Valley that evening, Music
was to be @ special feature of the entertainment, and they concluded to
take their fiddle and guitar along. In
order to add to the fun of the thipg,
they fortified themselves with pumerous drinks, and aso laid in a
flask of the needful. A steady horse
anda strong carriage were secured
at the Empiré livery stable, and they
set-sail. They had proceeded as far
asa short distance beyond Suspension bridge, where the road forks,
one arm reaching out direct to Grass
Valley, and the other connéctingwith across street that leads back
to this city via Sacramento street,
Unfortunately the driver pulled the
by taking the latter. The occupants
of the vehicle were so ‘“‘happy” as to
be entirely oblivious as to the direc
tion they were going. “She's a daisy,
she’s a darling, she’s adampling and
a lamb,” was the burden of their
‘song. Finally the trusty animal
came to a dead stop.
“We're here at thie) last,” said the
holder of the reina, nudging his com*
along either side of his pathway. After the review, Hon. Henry Edygerton made the address of welcome. In
' the evening General and Mrs. Grant .
each ‘held an ‘informal reception at
the Capitol building, Yesterday

According to the above, General

dasire to pass over the .mountains by
daylight, in order to get a good view
of the magnificent scenery that is encountered all along the line of railroad, The excursion from this city
‘to Colfax will be very largely attended, i» case of pleasant weather,
which the present indications are
first-rate for having. Timely notice
should be given as to the definite
arrangements by the local railroad
company, so as to give people all

Writing on Postal Cards.
A long standing order of the Post
Office Department has required that
all postal cards having any portion’of
the message written ontheir face
should be treated unmailable.
Kirst Assistant Postmaster General
gtyner has rescinded this order to the
extent of holding that such writing
shall not render them unmailable
per se, nor prevent their being mailedunless it makes the address illegible. “Ehe public is cautioned, how: ever, thatby writing any portion of
“the message onthe face they incur

The Stcckton Herald expre ses
dissatisfaction because the TxanscriPT speaks of a man ‘‘reaping a
big crop of soft-shell English walnuts” in Nevada City, and while
calling special attention to the fact
that they were the first ever successfully cultivated in this section, places
no stress upon what is far more surprising, the extraordinary method
taken to gather fthem. The TranSCRIPT did not know the Herald man
was in town that night, else it would
have given him the full measure of
credit he evidently hankers after.

A Sensible Recommendatien.
The San Francisco Post, an eminently staid and respect&hle journal
that « always thinks twice before
speaking, sayag ‘Highway robbery
has become so frequent in Cal
ifornia that hemp law should be judicioushy enforced,” To all of which
_fervent amens rise up from the corpanion, who had got so ‘‘tired” as to
take but_little note of what was going
on. 2 i
They crawled down out df the buggy carefully, and shook hands on the
"fact that the horse was not toodrunk
to carry them through to Grass Valley.
It was at. this juncture that the
truth began-to burst upon them.
That building across the way certainly looked like the National Hotel.
. They rubbed their eyes, and felt of
each other to. make sure they were
awake. Then’ they looked towards
the horse’s head. A sign that read
‘Empire Stable” confronted them.
“Did you ever!” ejaculated the soberest:
“Hardly (hic) never<did I,” was
all that the other's fedlings would
perntit him to say, and gathering up
their musical instruments each went
to his home,
' One of them thas gone to Sacramento, and hopes the thing will blow
over before he comes back. The other says he has got tired of standing
the whole brunt of the joke, and to
get even with his retired friend ‘gave

Rocky Bar Mine.
‘ he Union says: The drift in this
minethat was being runfor oonnection
between the new shaft and the old
Chavanne shaft has been completed.
The drift, was started from “both
shafts under the sttpposition that
the ledge in both were the same, but
it was demonstrated that they were
separate ledges, and when the drifts
were extended far enough ‘toward
each other a cross-cut was rurt to
connect them, and upon its cormpletion it was shownthat the two ledges
are sixty feet apart, both being
of good size and producing good pay
ore. With this connection made an
important charge in the workitg of
the mine is contemplated, and.instead
‘of two sets‘of machinery being used
to do the hoisting, one will be stopped and all the rock hoisted through
the Chavanne. This will prove quite
an item of saving in the monthly expense of the mine. / ‘I'he drain drift
from the bottom of the Chavanne shaft
through to the New York Hill mine,
has yet about 80 feet to run, which
will take from three to four weeks,
when a perfect drainage will be secured for the mine to its present
depth of working. The drifts that
are NOW open give access to a large
amount of Ore, sufficient for one year’s
work without deeper sinking, and in
the meantime the present drifts will
be extended and # large body of undeveloped ground opened. There is
but little water to be pumped now,
and with the drain drift there will be
none at all, There are between 6)
and 70 men engaged abeve and below
ground and this number will be increased during the Winter. The
mine presents a good appearance
throughout, and promises to be
among the leading properties of the
district, =

A few days since ‘we “were called
upowto mourn the loss of #darling
little girl wlio, by hersbappy seanner
and lovely innocent fae, ‘made herself an especial ‘favorite of all who
knew her. She was the sunshine of

sweet and pleasant as a summer day,
But while mourning her loss we will
try to think: °
The “Gates of Heaven” Were'open,

When flowers were plooming bright;
And like a Star's soft paling,
She tahished from our sight.

Her words of soft endearment,
Fell softly as the dew.
or. bright and beautedus Louise;
We miss thee from our home;
And-wrapt in sorrow’s mantle,
We tread earth's pathsalone.
But yet the thought ariseth,
Within my burning breast,
That somewhere in the future,
We'll be with thee at rest.
And o’er the darksomeé river,
Up on the ‘Golden Shore,”
We'll roam the vales of Heaven,
Through days forevermore.
We'll rest in love immortal,
In life’s eternal day;
And on the airs of Heaven,
We'll lift our hearts-in praise.

Fighty Dollar Bracelets Lost.
Mr. Stafford, traveling agent of
the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company, and. who has been . stopping in this section for some time,
id again the hero of a good item. He
started from this city to Sacramento
‘the other day with a pair of $80 gold
bracelets—a present for his wife—
inhis pocket. By some means the
box contaitiing them slipped from
ithe pocket on to the cushion, Shortly
after this occurred he ‘got up and
passed into another car, and a Chinaman took the seat vacated. The. latter eyed the package for some. time,
but did not disturb it, probably
thinking that the owner was close at
hand, The train had stopped at
Colfax, the passengers had all alighted, and it was just pulling out for
the return trip-when one of
men
ain
accidentally discovered the
treasure. The train was stopped
by using the bell cord, the finder
rushed out on the platform and discovering Mr, Stafford returned the
jewelry tohim. He declares that
the attaches of the Narrow Guage
railroad are the most honest set of
men in the world—excepting that
blarge and growing class known as
life insurance agents.
A ee -Saventle Wood Sawers.
If the Chinese in and aroun . this
city had to depend for their daily
bread upon what they could earn by
sawing wood, they would be starved
out of the country ingide of a month.
Until three years ago the Mongolians had a monopoly of such labor,

uses, others utilize it to good purpose.. A good example of the latter
class, is one little bey of eleven
years who contributes largely to his
widowed mother's support by giving
her all of his earnings,

Found his Pants.
Charles Hanson missed a pair of
pants from his room yesterday morning under what he considered very
suspicious circumstances. He went
before Judge Garthe to obtain a warrant for searching the effects of a
Chinaman who worked about the
premises. While.the warrant was
being made out Hanson had occasion
to go to the room again, and the first
thing that greeted his eyes on opening the door was his trousers hanging there in thgir accustomed place.

An Officer Completely Sold.
Among the young meg for whom
warrants of arrest were issued in connection with a disturbance that oecurred at. Hamilton Hall, Grass Valley, while Pinafore was being played
there last Saturday night, was Geo
Kendall. The various parties chiefly
interested in'the trouble disappeared
before the exa:nination, and Kendall
among them. Tuesday afternoon he
got. to Colfax. His description had
reached there before him. The officer who had it struck up a conversa”
tion with him and asked him if he had
seen anything of ‘‘Kendall.” Of
course he said no, when the officer
went on to minute'y describe the
very person who stood: before him.
Kendall very naturally feigned ignorance as to his own whereabouts:
When the-train came along he bade
the officer who was looking for him a
hearty farewell, and started for Oregon. The knight of thestar is meantime closely watching every stranger
who arrives in Co:fax, but has about
made up his mind that Kendall didn’t
take that route.
Recovered Stolen Goods.
About a month ago a kit of woodchopper’s tools and some blankets
were Stolenfrom Henry Puttemeyer,
woodchopper on the Red Dog road.
Yesterday morning the loser wanted
to take a smoke while at work, and
being out of matches went over to
-an Italian who-was working near-the
V Flume to borrow some. He discovered acrow-bar that had been taken
from him with therest of thearticles,
and came iato town aftér a warrant
for the suspected pacty’s arrest. The
latter claims that he bought the implement from a Chinaman, and Bays
he can prove it. Ifitis not returned forthwith Mr, Vuttemeyer proposes to have him arrested.
