The venerable California pioneer, Major Downie, has presented the Pacific Coast Pioneers of this city with a rare and beautiful specimen of wood-agate, recently taken from the tunnel of the famous Centennial gravel mine in Nevada county, Cal. As this specimen is a portion of the roots of a large petrified tree which was encountered in the tunnel at the distance of 750 feet from its mouth and at a vertical depth of 400 feet from the surface of the earth, it is evidently a venerable relic of the. past and is therefore entitled to special notice. The body of the tree is perfectly silicified, and owing to metamorphic action, has nearly lost its original “ligneous markings, but it still retains enough of these to indicate its exogenous characteristerics, and it probably belonged to the great cretaceous epoch. which once prevailed on the Pacific side of the Sierra Nevadas. Although solid agate, its ¢hief importance to those who foundit rosts in the fact that it may indicate the close .proximity of a rich gold channel in the great Centennial gravel bed. The rich placer mines of California abound inthe trunks of deciduous trees, and it is a noteworthy fact that these petrified remainsare usually found immediately upon the bed-rock and in the heaviest auriferous deposits. It is possible that the logs, as well as the gold, were simultaneously buried by the great glaciers of the quaiternary period. A Case of Suicide.

Attorney for this District, doubtless. instigated and controlled by the Washington ring, composed of Boss Shepherd, Babcock, H. L. Cook and that gang, concocted a plan to have his own office safé robbed of papers of vital importance in a suit pending, in which the Ring were involved, as were also some of our most wealthy and influential citizens, who were trying to break up the Ring. Harrington employed professional burglars from New York, to dothe work, and the papers were to be left at the house of one of the gentlemen engaged in prosecuting the Ring, (Mr. Columbus Alexander) and were actually carried there. By the most fortuitous circumstance, he wasaway from home, and they did not succeed . in delivering them.to' him. Had they been found in his possession, as they certainly would the next day, in less than two weeks they would have had him in the Penitentiary. Harrington wes tried for this, and though theevidence was conclusive,’ ‘the jury failed to agree. Juries here are made very credulous, or incredulous, which ever you please, by a slight application of the ‘‘root of all evil.’” Harrington has since made a full confession, but would not give the names of his associates.__He is ‘now in Nassau, and it is not likely he will be here to testify against Babcock. A general order just issued from the War Department, directs Col.

The Gold Hill News says: A few days since a News reporter in. search of an item entered the parlor of a Brothel on D street, Virginia. A handgome Mexican girl, barely twenty-four years old, lay dead there. The corpse rested upon the lid of a pine coffin box furnished by the undertaker. At the girl’s feet’ half a dozen wax tapers glimmered faintly in a brenching gandlestick. Between the dead fingers a withered bouquet had been thrust. The night in white, with artificial flowers in her seanty dyed hair sat upon a broken-springed, hair-cloth sofa, and simpered behind a heavy coat of rouge. Three men, with their hats on, tilted back their chairs, smoked their cigars and spat upon the worn And stained Brassels carpet. A few badly painted lewd pictures hung upon soiled--walis. A tall lookingglass had been covered with a sheet Nout of some vague sentiment of reverence for death. Now and again a liceman, of some flashy dressed. young man withan evil an unhealthy face strolled in and went out again, Thisjwas the end of a life of ‘gilded sin.”’ Reporters ar’n’t much given to moralizing, and perhaps the youth employed by the News is more susceptible than most of his tribe, but he couldn’t help thitking that if a photograph of that room could have been taken and scattered by thousands over the country, it would have made a very powerful sernion, Shabby, ill-furnished and dirty as the place was, it was as good as threeqaarters of such housesever are, and the dead girl had been far from being the lowest of her class, The place was even a cut above those where Winter and Summer after nightfall the door remains open and the gaudy occupant sits in half-dréess-eddiscomfort affecting to read a book or ostentatiously petting a shivering dog. whlie shef waits for the foolish fly to. come. Some letters to her mother and sister, left by the girl, were well written and as full of honest affection as if the writer had not been what she was. . She saw what was coming and knew that only death could save from the hideous fate of her class—down from excitement and good clothes:to whisky and no good clotbes; to old age whisky and food as scarce as the . . wolf of the steppes finds food in the Russian Winter; then death in the streets or in the jail or the public} hospital. Another girl had taken poison the same night, but had been saved from death, which she will wish, intime, she had not. Some months before, the reporter learned she had -left a good home to live with a man with whom she was up in a bed in a little basement, the only light admitted to it being from a grating in the sidewalk overhead. ing. She had chosen this rather than an honest life. The moral of these two instances is that’ there is not a great deal of gilt on a life of ‘‘gilded sin.” Phere is not a miner’s or mechanie’s wife on the Comstock, if her husband is sober and industrious, whe does not have vastly mors of the comforts of life than these fdolisk* creatures who throw over: virtue for thizking-that Paris pencil cayes at . the tuxuries supposed to follow pros-. _ titution.

Mr. Storrs has been sent by Attorney Genera) Taft to aseertain the cause or causes of delay in these cases, and to have ‘them at once attended to, With regard to the Babcock case, the Safe burglary; it was one of the most cold blooded pieces'of villainy, I ever heard or read of. ‘Phe poor wretch Harrington, at the time U. 8. Attorney for this District, doubtless. instigated and controlled by the Washington ring, composed of Boss Shepherd, Babcock, H. L. Cook and that gang, concocted a plan to have his own office safé robbed of papers of vital importance in a suit pending, in which the Ring were involved, as were also some of our most wealthy and influential citizens, who were trying to break up the Ring. Harrington employed professional burglars from New York, to dothe work, and the papers were to be left at the house of one of the gentlemen engaged in prosecuting the Ring, (Mr. Columbus Alexander) and were actually carried there. By the most fortuitous circumstance, he wasaway from home, and they did not succeed . in delivering them.to' him. Had they been found in his possession, as they certainly would the next day, in less than two weeks they would have had him in the Penitentiary. Harrington wes tried for this, and though theevidence was conclusive,’ ‘the jury failed to agree. Juries here are made very credulous, or incredulous, which ever you please, by a slight application of the ‘‘root of all evil.’” Harrington has since made a full confession, but would not give the names of his associates.__He is ‘now in Nassau, and it is not likely he will be here to testify against Babcock. A general order just issued from the War Department, directs Col.

In Regents street, London, he saw some more at only 70 cents each, and bought another half dozen that price were abargain. In Liver. pool he putchased another half dozen of these articles, at 30 centa each. “Sipgular,’’ he observed, somewhat surprised, “but it seems the further one gets from Paris the cheaper articles of Parisian manufacture become; At this rate I should have done better by waiting till I reached New York. “You aré about rightsir,’’ said the shopman, who by this time had his money safe in the till. . “You are about right,, sir, for them pencils is all-made-in the States.” In the matter of shops and tht i= co 2tents, Paris, London, an New York are well nigh one, and it requires a sharp eye and ample exper‘eace to iscover anything in either of them thatis not for sale in beth the others.— Trade Journal, a In @ race between a man anda horse, at Woodland, Saturday, the Man won. : Tue faneral of “the poe prize fighter, Walker, was held Sunday at Philadelphia. _ Tue Porte ‘ig considerlng. the advisubility of closing the Danube.

The Gold Hill News says: A few days since a News reporter in. search of an item entered the parlor of a Brothel on D street, Virginia. A handgome Mexican girl, barely twenty-four years old, lay dead there. The corpse rested upon the lid of a pine coffin box furnished by the undertaker. At the girl’s feet’ half a dozen wax tapers glimmered faintly in a brenching gandlestick. Between the dead fingers a withered bouquet had been thrust. The night in white, with artificial flowers in her seanty dyed hair sat upon a broken-springed, hair-cloth sofa, and simpered behind a heavy coat of rouge. Three men, with their hats on, tilted back their chairs, smoked their cigars and spat upon the worn And stained Brassels carpet. A few

badly painted lewd pictures hung upon soiled--walis. A tall lookingglass had been covered with a sheet Nout of some vague sentiment of reverence for death. Now and again a liceman, of some flashy dressed. young man withan evil an unhealthy face strolled in and went out again, Thisjwas the end of a life of ‘gilded sin.”’ Reporters ar’n’t much given to moralizing, and perhaps the youth employed by the News is more susceptible than most of his tribe, but he couldn’t help thitking that if a photograph of that room could have been taken and scattered by thousands over the country, it would have made a very powerful sernion, Shabby, ill-furnished and dirty as the place was, it was as good as threeqaarters of such housesever are, and the dead girl had been far from being the lowest of her class, The place was even a cut above those where Winter and Summer after nightfall the door remains open and the gaudy occupant sits in half-dréess-eddiscomfort affecting to read a book or ostentatiously petting a shivering dog. whlie shef waits for the foolish fly to. come. Some letters to her mother and sister, left by the girl, were well written and as full of honest affection as if the writer had not been what she was. . She saw what was coming and knew that only death could save from the hideous fate of her class—down from excitement and good clothes:to whisky and no good clotbes; to old age whisky and food as scarce as the . . wolf of the steppes finds food in the Russian Winter; then death in the streets or in the jail or the public} hospital. Another girl had taken poison the same night, but had been saved from death, which she will wish, intime, she had not. Some months before, the reporter learned she had -left a good home to live with a man with whom she was up in a bed in a little basement, the only light admitted to it being from a grating in the sidewalk overhead. ing. She had chosen this rather than an honest life. The moral of these two instances is that’ there is not a great deal of gilt on a life of ‘‘gilded sin.” Phere is not a miner’s or mechanie’s wife on the Comstock, if her husband is sober and industrious, whe does not have vastly mors of the comforts of life than these fdolisk* creatures who throw over: virtue for thizking-that Paris pencil cayes at . the tuxuries supposed to follow pros-. _ titution.
