In reply we say itis untrue that ‘‘the TRANacripr went out of is way to stretch aramor of av opinion by a United States Senator,”’ We said that Ac-, éording to the rulings of the Lend Office. at Washington, Mining notiees cannot be considered legal if published in weekly paper, if a dai" ly paper exists in the same place. We sere shown a tetter from ex-Senator Stewart to Geo. 8, Happ, Esg., ot this city, in which the following language is used: “You will see by reference te the Mining Act, that the publication mist be for sixty days. After the passage of this Act the question urese whether publicatian could.be made in a weekly paper ‘avben . such paper was nearest tothe mive, ‘Ihe hecretary, in view of the inconvenjeuce, suggested to me that the law had better be 60 amended as tonllow publication in weekly papers, but after consultation be held that it would be a substantial compliance of the law to publish in weekly papers, where no dailiesexisted.”’ withstanding, we do not believe the claim, would be consideréd legal if published ina weekly paper where a duily paper is pallisbed in the same town. No one-will chance it anyhow. Should be Stopped. Almost every night during the (past week, persons in various parts ‘of the'town are in the habit of discharging . fire-arms: to the annoyhear those shots last night?” bas Dedn the question asked a hundred tiunes, and tio one seems to know the charged, The nuisance should be etopped, In relation to this matter we desire to call the attention of the guilty parties to the Grdimance, which reads as followa: “Any person or persons who shall wilfully shoot, fire or discharge any. gun, pistol, or other fire-arm derror or dawaage of any person cr property, shali, on conviction therenot'to exceed ove hundred: dollars, or be imprisoned in the City Prison not to-exceed ten days. This secsion shall not be construed.so as to inturfere with any peace officer in the discharge of his duty,” Ik will be ecen that the Ordinance is very strict, yet it is violated many times . during the-jweek. On Thursday night there were not less than a “half. dozen shots fired in different parts of the town) and a number of people expected.on Friday. morning to learn ofa fracas having occurred, bat such. was not the case. On Friday evening two shots were fired, in rapid succession inthe neighborhood of Pine street, aad by whom it is not Known.

After the invasion and conquest of Ireland by the English, the Mac Mabons left the couatry and emigrated to France in the year 1691. However, it was oply in the year 1750 that, by a decree of the Council of State, Jean: Baptiste De Mac Muhon, bern in Limerick, ireland, and son of Patrick: Mac’Mahon and Margaret O’Sallivan, received bis letters of nuturalization and nobility.

Marshal Mac Mahon is a graduate of the.military school of Saint Cyr, served with distinction in Algeria, the Crimea and Italy, where he was created Duke of Magenta by that other bilk, Napoleon IIL, After the declaration of war against Prussia, Mac Mabon was pat at the head of a corps of the army of invasion, und it was while looking for a ford to cross his corps on the other side of the little river Sarre that be was as-. sailed and «almost annihilated by 160,000 Prussians under the Crown Prince, and whose presence in the woods he was net aware 2f, After that disgracful affair, and thanks to the heroiam of his cavalry that saved the remnunt of his army, he retreated to Chalous. Pat by Napoleon III at the head of the army of Chalous, 120,000 strong, it was he who planved that beilliant campaign that ended in the disaster of Sedan, and from which he-gst the name of ‘illustrious vanguished."’ Such is the man who is indalging iu the wild dream of becoming Emperor : of Franee by the grace of God and-the cowandiceand stupidity ofthe French people.
