Tomorrow has been set apart py the civil, and.hence by the ecclesiastical authority, as a day of national thanksgiving to Almighty God for the benefits bestowed and the evils withheld during the past year. There are among us those who trace back their ancestry to English, Irish, Scotch, Welch, Dutch, French, German and Italian stocks. But among them all, there are few who do not feel that the nation has no custom more ‘peculiarly American than Thanksgiving Day, and that however odd its earlier characteristics may have been, it-is the beritage bequeathed by an age and a spirit that was unique with the founders ofthe Republic. That spirit sto out clear and sharp cut as an ice berg beneath the rays. of an arctic sun. Those who have read the early and late hi of the American Colonies—of: New England, New Amsterdam and New Sweden, can hardly fail to have noted that the. distinctive characteristics of their young life were integrity, energy, economy and domnestic happiness. Perhaps one of the best examples of the facts that we have stated may be found in Irving’s ‘‘Knickerbocker’s History of New York;’’ ‘‘The fireplace of patiiarchal dimensions,’’ writes Irving, ‘‘gave we/come to the whole family, old and’ young, master and servant, black and white; nay even the very cat and dog enjoyed a community of privilege and each had a right to a eorner.’’ The men punctuated their brief sentences by a ‘puff from the long clay pipes, now out of vozue. The dame and granddame plied the knitting needles or the spinning wheel, while the -youthful members of the household, huddled together in the children’s corner, listened with bated breath to some wild and shivery legend of the earlier days of the settlements. The family invariably rose at dawn, dined at eleven, and went to bed at sunset. Dinner was-a meal partaken of, in general, by the family alone, guests being seldom invited. The social gatherings of the time began at three and ended at six o’clock in the afternoon. The old Dutch or English China produced on such state occasions was religiously handed down from parents to children, and the menu of the table or the dress of the guests spoke little of anxious debate or of extraordinary cost.* No doubt to many today all this would appear insipid if not vulgar. Yet these were the delightful features ofthe home:and social life of a people who lived within their incomes ; who did not eat and drink what they had not or could not pay for; who did not buy their clothes or their furniture upon the installment plan; who dared face their butcher, baker, or grocer upon the street; who did not fret and pine to outvie the extravagances, imitate the fashions, cultivate the cockneyisms, lisp and drawl, the mannerisms, of foreign life; of a people who feared God, honored the King, obeyed the law, and imbued their children with the like virtues. And as with those of New Amsterdam, so also with those others who sought the world with ‘them. Asleep among the rugged peaks of northern. hills or ’neath the gentler swell of summer vales, the spire of whltewashed meetinghouse, of plain stone church, casts lengthening shadows gently o’er full many anemerald mound, and pointing upwards speaks, ‘Their dust shall lives again.’”’ But».not here,not now. Ah me! I fear they died without an heir.Yes, they were narrow, stern, given tb cant, their religious ideas were simply awful ; and they were: unforgiving, for there were some short-comings which they did not and could not tolerate nor overlook—dishonesty, extravagance, But turn this page of their history and over against it you will find that they paid their debts and kept their word. They won by example the respect and obedidays a family was a unit in which the love and confidence reigning within were the sign posts of the peace and contentment shed abroad. It was rough and hard, that old American life, but it was also in a very great degree healthy and honest in tone, kindly in expression. Butit has passed away. Passed away in the bloody and the bloodless revolutions that succeeded it. Ithas been frequently commented upon that no nation known to} history has changed its domestic and social habits so rapidly as the ‘American. Duringthe last half century the growth of-internal resources, of private enterprise, of private wealth, of inventive necromancy, have eombined: ‘to unfaithful dealing, and the like.1 ence of their children. In those make the old world pay its tribute tothe hew. At the same time has gone on ‘the multiplication of the means and the facillty of commotest capitals. Barring accident, six days’ will place the traveler in New York, ten or twelve more-in London, two more in Paris, two more in Vienna, three more in Cairo. . All this, in.one sense highly gratifying, has its darker side. Three short weeks, wind and tide permitting, will bear to our shores the fashions and follies and extravagances of the most dista it land in Christendom. Once arriyed, like air plants, these fashions, follies and extravagances, quickly spring up into vigorous growth. The crying evil of today, the source of much that vexes the family nate craving ‘frr luxurieson the part of the great mass of the people. But when it is remembered that the history of nations teaches us that luxury eats up the bone and muscle ofa people, this tendency nray.well become a source of alarm. For followed to its. conclusions, it means the growth of easy-going notions as to individual honor and common _honesty. It means a desire on the part of the people to have the luxuries of life by paying for them, if possible, but to have them anyhow. It reminds one of that advice which an old Quaker gave his son: ‘‘My son, make money honestly if thee can, but—make money.”’ Passing from the moral to the physical aspect of the case, it has been lately affirmed by a physician whose name is the warrant for the weight of this dictum that the American people as a race are rapidly degenerating, and that “the most fruitful sources of physical derangement and mental and nervous disorders in America are pecuniary embarassments and family dissensions.’”? It may not be easy tosee how the results above stated can be affected, if not induced, by the repudiation of their debts by half a dozen persons, or by a whole people; but to take a short cut out of the arguments, its basic facts is this—that failure to pay just debts is as sure and short a road as can be found to ‘‘the extinction of confidence, the annihilation of respect, and the death of love.’ It is said ‘‘there exists an an ti dote to every poison.’’ Certainly the antidote for this one is a higher idea of the true wealth and welfare of the nation, and hence of every n, woman and child init. And that it may be so it will be well to begin by remembering in the approaching feast the houseless and homeless, and pain-stricken, and brighten their path with subst: ntial sympathy, the dawing rays of a new risen sun of peace, and hence of prosperity. : E: X. They Like it Too W-31. There are quite a number of tramps in the county jail, and they had rather be there than anywhere élse. All they have to do is to sleep and eat and enjoy themselves at the tax-payers’ expense. Those sent from Grass alley the other day were warned thatifthey did not skip out for pastures new they would be arrested and imprisoned. ‘“‘Why did you not leave Nevada county when you had a chance?” asked Deputy Sheriff Carter as he was bringing two of them over to the county seat to serve their terms. They answered with truth that uch weather as this was not good for traveling purposes. Said one of them, ‘‘We never refuse an invitation to stop awhile in a place during bad weather if the ‘citizens.furnish us good . grub and a comforvable bed at their own expense.”” “But supposing you have tosettle your bill by. working in a chaingang?’”’ asked Mr. Carter. ‘‘Oh, we don’t fret ourselves about that,’’ answered Mr. Tramp. ‘“‘We found out—beforewe—came counties in the State where they don’t aye such a thing as a chaingang.’ A Wrenehed Shoulder. Th the wrestling match: at Grass Valley Saturday night ” between Jack Carkeek, champion Cornish wrestler of the coast, and J. D.

No particulars were then obtainable as to what the trouble was, but the: Doctor and Under Sheriff,Holland at once started forthe mine, which is about fifteen miles east by north of here on the Washington road, and a mile from Big Tunnel. ‘At noon another message came over the line in response to inquiries by E. M. Brown, the Company’s agent, giving the following account of what had happened: atrick C. Joyce, whose home below Grass Valley, is engineer at the Centennial. At twoo’clock yesterday morning he‘lowered intothe mine a stranger who recently got employment there and was known by the nickname of “The Tramp.’”’. As soon as he could get to the surface again the fellow came up and takify off his rubber clothing upbraided Joyce for lowering him too rapidly. The two men had some words. The stranger attacked the engineer and they had a fist fight in which Joyce proved himself more than a matth for his antagonist. The latter picked up a monkey-wrench and hit Joyce in the back of his head, knocking him’ down. He next grabbed a mattock and struck the fallen engineer a brutal blow in the side. The wounded man is in a dangerous condition. It is, feared he will die. C. C. Baker, a young man working there, and a sonof 8. D. Baker who was formerly Sécretary of the Company, endeavored to separate them, when ‘‘The Tramp” struck him on the head with the wrench inflicting a bad cut on his scalp. There were two or three other men around the works at the time. The stranger made no attempt to leave the premises, but could have easily dohe so had he wished. It was snowing heavily, all the morning, and to this is attributed the fact that he remained. Mr. Joyce is the father of Mrs. J. E. Carr ofthis city. He is a peaceable and industrious man and is well known in this city and Grass Valley. At six o’clock last evening the Under Sheriff and Doctor had not returned. -——~+ o-— esA Bold Theft, B. H. Miller, the clothing dealer, yesterday morning dressed up a dummy in a fashionable winter suit and put it in the hallway of Odd Fellows Block, adjoining the entrance to his ‘store, where. it would not get wet and might at the same time be seen and admired by passers-by. It had -not been there long when some thief carried it up stairs, helped himself to the twelve dollar coat, and with the plunder skipped for parts unknown. H.C. McKelvey, janitor of the building, found the halfdressed dummy on the secondfloor landing in front of the door to the Odd Fellows library. / Around the World in Bighty Minutes. .

We get the following items from the Sierra City Tribune: Sixteen hundred dollars was cleaned up at the Belmont Consolidated quartz mine at Poker Flat, the result of ten days’ run. That is pretty good, considering the milling facilities they have. The miners who are putting through the raise between the No. 9and No. 8 tunnel, at the Sierra Buttes mine, work only six ‘hour shifts now, owing to the bad air. Wm. Crossman’s wife and son came up from -Nevada City last Our the future. On Monday, an Italian by the name of Emile Brunetti, was cav‘ed on in the Cleveland tunnel. He was not employedin the tunnel, but went there merely out of curiosity. The miners were putting up a set of timbers at the time, and spoke-to Brunetti—threeor four times about moving to a less dangerous place. “He would not heed the warning of the miners, and a quantity of rock fell and crushed him so that he lived only a few moments. He leavesa wife and’ three children in faraway Italy. 2 The success of the Young America claim has given a great stimulus to prospecting for mines in this district. During the last few days many discoveries have been made that give promise of turning out well. We believe that by next summer Sierra City will be the center of greater mining activity than exists anywhere else on the Pacific Coast. Wm. Edwards, who has been working in the mines hereabouts for some time, ‘‘skipped’’ the diggings lastThursday, leaving behind him numerous unpaid bills. W. Casserly, to.whom Edwards was indebted in the sum of $35, got wind of his departure soon after he leit town, and arming himself with a shotgun startedin pursuit. Edwards was overhauled a short distance this side of Downieville, and was prevailed upon by the party behind the gun to fork over the $35 before proceeding any further on his travels. The largest piece of gold taken out at Gibsonville was obtained from underneath the place where the brewery now stands, and it weighed 964¢ ounces. The distance between Gibsonville and La Porte is eight miles, along and over a high ridge. The ground has long been claimed. Shafts have been sunk at.agreat expense, but, finding so much water, failed to reach the bedrock. The ground has finally been bonded. John Thomas Shas been to Europe, and, itis said, has raised money enough to purchase and develop the lead. The Lincoln, at Potosi, is working quite a force, and it is said is paying $20 a day to the man. “Pap” Hugbes, after an’ absence of over twenty-five years, has returned to Poorman’s Creek, and will begin next spring on a claim which he left in early days. At Soda Bar, in a claim that had been worked and. reworked, tbe owners struck gravel under what was supposed to be the bedrock, and are taking out an ounce and a half per day to the man. — —————o-> His Successor.

The social gatherings of the time began at three and ended at six o’clock in the afternoon. The old Dutch or English China produced on such state occasions was religiously handed down from parents to children, and the menu of the table or the dress of the guests spoke little of anxious debate or of extraordinary cost.* No doubt to many today all this would appear insipid if not vulgar. Yet these were the delightful features ofthe home:and social life of a people who lived within their incomes ; who did not eat and drink what they had not or could not pay for; who did not buy their clothes or their furniture upon the installment plan; who dared face their butcher, baker, or grocer upon the street; who did not fret and pine to outvie the extravagances, imitate the fashions, cultivate the cockneyisms, lisp and drawl, the mannerisms, of foreign life; of a people who feared God, honored the King, obeyed the law, and imbued their children with the like virtues. And as with those of New Amsterdam, so also with those others who sought the world with ‘them. Asleep among the rugged peaks of northern. hills or ’neath the gentler swell of summer vales, the spire of whltewashed meetinghouse, of plain stone church, casts lengthening shadows gently o’er full many anemerald mound, and pointing upwards speaks, ‘Their dust shall lives again.’”’ But».not here,not now. Ah me! I fear they died without an heir.Yes, they were narrow, stern, given tb cant, their religious ideas were simply awful ; and they were: unforgiving, for there were some short-comings which they did not and could not tolerate nor overlook—dishonesty, extravagance, But turn this page of their history and over against it you will find that they paid their debts and kept their word. They won by example the respect and obedidays a family was a unit in which the love and confidence reigning within were the sign posts of the peace and contentment shed abroad. It was rough and hard, that old American life, but it was also in a very great degree healthy and honest in tone, kindly in expression. Butit has passed away. Passed away in the bloody and the bloodless revolutions that succeeded it. Ithas been frequently commented upon that no nation known to} history has changed its domestic and social habits so rapidly as the ‘American. Duringthe last half century the growth of-internal resources, of private enterprise, of private wealth, of inventive necromancy, have eombined: ‘to unfaithful dealing, and the like.1 ence of their children. In those make the old world pay its tribute tothe hew. At the same time has gone on ‘the multiplication of the means and the facillty of commotest capitals. Barring accident, six days’ will place the traveler in New York, ten or twelve more-in London, two more in Paris, two more in Vienna, three more in Cairo. . All this, in.one sense highly gratifying, has its darker side. Three short weeks, wind and tide permitting, will bear to our shores the fashions and follies and extravagances of the most dista it land in Christendom. Once arriyed, like air plants, these fashions, follies and extravagances, quickly spring up into vigorous growth. The crying evil of today, the source of much that vexes the family nate craving ‘frr luxurieson the part of the great mass of the people. But when it is remembered that the history of nations teaches us that luxury eats up the bone and muscle ofa people, this tendency nray.well become a source of alarm. For followed to its. conclusions, it means the growth of easy-going notions as to individual honor and common _honesty. It means a desire on the part of the people to have the luxuries of life by paying for them, if possible, but to have them anyhow. It reminds one of that advice which an old Quaker gave his son: ‘‘My son, make money honestly if thee can, but—make money.”’ Passing from the moral to the physical aspect of the case, it has been lately affirmed by a physician whose name is the warrant for the weight of this dictum that the American people as a race are rapidly degenerating, and that “the most fruitful sources of physical derangement and mental and nervous disorders in America are pecuniary embarassments and family dissensions.’”? It may not be easy tosee how the results above stated can be affected, if not induced, by the repudiation of their debts by half a dozen persons, or by a whole people; but to take a short cut out of the arguments, its basic facts is this—that failure to pay just debts is as sure and short a road as can be found to ‘‘the extinction of confidence, the annihilation of respect, and the death of love.’ It is said ‘‘there exists an an ti dote to every poison.’’ Certainly the antidote for this one is a higher idea of the true wealth and welfare of the nation, and hence of every n, woman and child init. And that it may be so it will be well to begin by remembering in the approaching feast the houseless and homeless, and pain-stricken, and brighten their path with subst: ntial sympathy, the dawing rays of a new risen sun of peace, and hence of prosperity. : E: X. They Like it Too W-31. There are quite a number of tramps in the county jail, and they had rather be there than anywhere élse. All they have to do is to sleep and eat and enjoy themselves at the tax-payers’ expense. Those sent from Grass alley the other day were warned thatifthey did not skip out for pastures new they would be arrested and imprisoned. ‘“‘Why did you not leave Nevada county when you had a chance?” asked Deputy Sheriff Carter as he was bringing two of them over to the county seat to serve their terms. They answered with truth that uch weather as this was not good for traveling purposes.

No particulars were then obtainable as to what the trouble was, but the: Doctor and Under Sheriff,Holland at once started forthe mine, which is about fifteen miles east by north of here on the Washington road, and a mile from Big Tunnel. ‘At noon another message came over the line in response to inquiries by E. M. Brown, the Company’s agent, giving the following account of what had happened: atrick C. Joyce, whose home below Grass Valley, is engineer at the Centennial. At twoo’clock yesterday morning he‘lowered intothe mine a stranger who recently got employment there and was known by the nickname of “The Tramp.’”’. As soon as he could get to the surface again the fellow came up and takify off his rubber clothing upbraided Joyce for lowering him too rapidly. The two men had some words. The stranger attacked the engineer and they had a fist fight in which Joyce proved himself more than a matth for his antagonist. The latter picked up a monkey-wrench and hit Joyce in the back of his head, knocking him’ down. He next grabbed a mattock and struck the fallen engineer a brutal blow in the side. The wounded man is in a dangerous condition. It is, feared he will die. C. C. Baker, a young man working there, and a sonof 8. D. Baker who was formerly Sécretary of the Company, endeavored to separate them, when ‘‘The Tramp” struck him on the head with the wrench inflicting a bad cut on his scalp. There were two or three other men around the works at the time. The stranger made no attempt to leave the premises, but could have easily dohe so had he wished. It was snowing heavily, all

the morning, and to this is attributed the fact that he remained. Mr. Joyce is the father of Mrs. J. E. Carr ofthis city. He is a peaceable and industrious man and is well known in this city and Grass Valley. At six o’clock last evening the Under Sheriff and Doctor had not returned. -——~+ o-— esA Bold Theft, B. H.

It had -not been there long when some thief carried it up stairs, helped himself to the twelve dollar coat, and with the plunder skipped for parts unknown. H.C.

We get the following items from the Sierra City Tribune: Sixteen hundred dollars was cleaned up at the Belmont Consolidated quartz mine at Poker Flat, the result of ten days’ run. That is pretty good, considering the milling facilities they have. The miners who are putting through the raise between the No. 9and No. 8 tunnel, at the Sierra Buttes mine, work only six ‘hour shifts now, owing to the bad air. Wm. Crossman’s wife and son came up from -Nevada City last Our the future. On Monday, an Italian by the name of Emile Brunetti, was cav‘ed on in the Cleveland tunnel. He was not employedin the tunnel, but went there merely out of curiosity. The miners were putting up a set of timbers at the time, and spoke-to Brunetti—threeor four times about moving to a less dangerous place. “He would not heed the warning of the miners, and a quantity of rock fell and crushed him so that he lived only a few moments. He leavesa wife and’ three children in faraway Italy. 2 The success of the Young America claim has given a great stimulus to prospecting for mines in this district. During the last few days many discoveries have been made that give promise of turning out well. We believe that by next summer Sierra City will be the center of greater mining activity than exists anywhere else on the Pacific Coast. Wm. Edwards, who has been working in the mines hereabouts for some time, ‘‘skipped’’ the diggings lastThursday, leaving behind him numerous unpaid bills. W. Casserly, to.whom Edwards was indebted in the sum of $35, got wind of his departure soon after he leit town, and arming himself with a shotgun startedin pursuit. Edwards was overhauled a short distance this side of Downieville, and was prevailed upon by the party behind the gun to fork over the $35 before proceeding any further on his travels. The largest piece of gold taken out at Gibsonville was obtained from underneath the place where the brewery now stands, and it weighed 964¢ ounces. The distance between Gibsonville and La Porte is eight miles, along and over a high ridge. The ground has long been claimed. Shafts have been sunk at.agreat expense, but, finding so much water, failed to reach the bedrock. The ground has finally been bonded. John Thomas Shas been to Europe, and, itis said, has raised money enough to purchase and develop the lead. The Lincoln, at Potosi, is working quite a force, and it is said is paying $20 a day to the man. “Pap” Hugbes, after an’ absence of over twenty-five years, has returned to Poorman’s Creek, and will begin next spring on a claim which he left in early days. At Soda Bar, in a claim that had been worked and. reworked, tbe owners struck gravel under what was supposed to be the bedrock, and are taking out an ounce and a half per day to the man. — —————o-> His Successor.
