NEW ANTI-LIQUOR MOVE, Favors Having the Best Class of Citizens . Frequent Saloons. _. Notlongsgoa young woman in the East advanced quite a new theory in ‘the interests of temperance. Jn one of the New York papers she was. quoted ‘declaring that if the better class of . citizens of a town would frequent the ‘saloons it would have a tendency. to raise the moral status’ of the resorts ; where liquor is dispensed, prevent. or . at least lessen crime in saloons, and . have a tendency to curb and restrain ‘the intemperate, thus decreasing the consumption of liquor, though they ~ need not necessarily drink. . . The young woman in Miss Hattie H. : Bumgarten of New Milford, Conn., and ‘she is quoted as follows: “Tt is rot necessary that they should arink’ because they frequent such . places, but their presence will aet as a F restraint on ‘the lawless element. I 'think that ifour best citizens would adopt some such method as this it would curb debauchery and disorder, Fand compel the saloon keepers to ob . serve the law to the letter.

The Life His!ory of an Esteemed Pioneer Miner and Merchant. Augustine Isoard, one of the oldest and best known of the pioneer settlers of Nevada City, died at eight o'clock this morning after a three days’ illness. .He passed away peacefully, bearing the love of his family and the friendship and respect of his townspeople. He will be sincerely mourned by all. who knew him, for he was a. gentle, companionable man, siucere in his proMr. Isoard was born in Provence, France, on November 27th, 1828. —_ He was educated as a machinist, at‘ending to learn that profession the school of arts and sciences. When the news of the discovery of gold in Oalifornia was heralded over the world in 1848, he at once determined to set out forthe new El Dorado. With other young spirits, as adventurous as himself, he: repaired to Marseilles, and a ship was chartered to convey the party tothe new world. Their hopes were cut short, however, by the official condemnation of the vessel selected, as being untrustworthy. As a consequence they had to wait another six months before. another ship could be obtained. . However, on June 30, 1849, the Princessa de Bella Joyosa, a Chilian barque, set sail from Marseilles with the party, consisting then of 107 as hardy and enterprising young men as ever left France. The voyage was a long one, stops being made at Rio de Janeiro and d no-less than thirty-five days being” nsumed in rounding Cape Horn, and it was not until January 21, 1850, that they arrived at San Francisco.

The funeral of the late Miss Margery Clooney, which took place this morning at St. Canice church, was attended by numerous pioneer friends of the lady. Mrs. Eliza Oarlin and Miss Bridget Clooney, sisters of the deceased, accompanied by her nephews, John Oarlin and Frank Donnelly, arrived from San Francisco on this morning’s train with her remains. _. Miss Clooney resided in this city from 1859 to 18738. A Surprise Party. Last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Organ on'Walrath avenue Miss Jessie Organ, teacher of the Overton school, wastendered a surprise party at which the guests were Misses McBean, Rector, Griffith, Calkins, Eastin, Agnes and Beatrice Carr, Robb, Kahl, Maher, Lawrence, Marsh, Green, Marchie and Wood. Miss Dora Organ assisted her sister in doing the honors of the evening. It was a very happy gathering. ; The New Maytlower Road. If the present good weather continues another week the constructioo of the new Mayflower road around Gravel Hill, to take the place of the road that used torun over it, will be Mr. Isoard and his companions, was to take the contract for unloading a ship. They took it too low, however, and were losing money, when along came a man who enquired for carpenters to go to work. Young Isoard was°glad of the chance and for-a month worked as: a carpenter, receiving as wages $10 a day. His education as a machinist and ready tact made him so valuable in his new employment that, when, after a month, he was seized with the mining fever and wanted to set out for the mountains, his employer offered to raise his wages. It was no use, however, and Mr. Isoard anda. few of his fellow voyagers set out for Nevada City, then known only as Caldwell’s Store. For three days they mined on Deer Oreek, but being entirely inexperienced were making little headway. But they learned very rapidly, and had many experiences, mining in many different localities. In the celebrated Coyote Diggings they struck a splendid claim, taking out of @ plat of ground only 40x60 feet in size, no less than $64,000 in three months’ time. The diggings were still paying two ounces’ per day tothe map, when they became dissatisfied and wanted to do better. . With others Mr. Isoard went to the Feather River and took up a claim. It was necessary to erect a derrick to remove large boulders, and while using 4 drawing knife he had the misfortune to cut hie knee so badly that for six months he was laid up, and never entirely recovered from the stiffness. As a consequence his mining days were over and he had to go into other business. He returned here, and in partnership Rocklin andanable totravel, = = Mr. Isoard was a charter member of the Nevada City Fire Depe rtment. An exempt certificate was issued to him in flying at half mast in his honor, The funeral will be heid from the Isoard residence on West Broad street at 2:30 o’clock ‘Thursday afternoon. SS A Story of John Morrissey. Henry L. Dawes of Pittsfield, Mass., successor of Charles: Sumner in the senate, told the following story: “When'I was a. judge in Pittsfield, Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan fought a prize fight at’a neighboring place calied Boston Corners. Sullivan was arrested and fined $1,000. He handed over the money and went his way. A day or two later, while I was sitting on the bench, a fine looking man entered fhe courtreom and sent a letter up to ime. Itwas from a friend of mine introducing John Morrissey. He, too, was fined $1,000 and said to me that he would send me his check on his turn to New York. ; “Well, 1 didn’t know what might happen if he was let go on that anderstanding, but I said to Morrissey that any arrangement for settlement which he made with the sheriff would be satisfactory. The sheriff, feeling as I did, insisted upon having the fine paid in cash, and since Morrissey didn’t happen to have that much cash with him the sheriff locked him up until the amount was sent on from New York. “{ fancied that Morrissey felt he owed me a grudge because of this Incident. Years afterward in Washington a number of new congressmen were brought up to be introduced to me. Among them was Morrissey. When he came forward, he smiled and said, ‘Mr. Dawes, I believe we have met before.’” 4 She “Sassed Her.” Some visitors to East Gloucester paid a special call upon the woman said to be the original of Mrs. Hlizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward’s famous story, “A Madonna of the Tubs.” Mrs. known, is in Bast Gloucester. The visitors found a typical New Englander with a self evident capacity for taking care of herself. “So you are the Madonpa of the Tubs?’ said the visitors. “] am,” said-the New Englander. “and Mrs. Phelps Ward wrote a “peautiful story about you?” “She did.” “Have you.ever met Mrs. Ward?” “I have. After she wrote that story she came round here one day and hunted me up. She said as how she wanted to see me for herself.” : “How interesting!”.murmured the visitors. “And what did-you do?” Tubs. “What did I do? 1 sassed her well for writin such a story as that about me. Such a pack of lies I never. read. Why, there wasn’t one-half of it true. And she had the face to come and see me afterward! Oh, I sassed her well, 1 did!?—New York Sun. Grotesque Spelling. One of the Boston papers calls attention to this woeful example of bad spelling—and in Boston too! It is from the doorway bulletin board of a little restaurant: BILL OF FarR. Open at all Owars.

In 1854 he rented.the hotel, continuing so to do until it was consumed in thé great fire of 1856. After that he went to Grass Valley and: for a short time kept a saloon, going in 1855 to Sacramento and pur¢hasing the Hotel de France on Front street, It did not pay, however, and he lost everything he had, being compelled to borrow enough money to bring him back here. In 1856 he was with his uncle at French Corral, but in the folmenced against a wife in Cleveland, O., and the Court has ordered her to pay her husband $1 per week until the case is decided. “He That Stays — Does the Business.” Ail the world admires “staying power.’ On this gualit.) success depends.

Urmy used to’ pastor of the Methodist charch at this city. He was one of those severe, uncompromising preachers of the old school such as we read of but seldom see nowadays. The other day Rev. James U. MacInpes of Oakland quit the ministry for the alleged reason that to be a minister of the gospel one must be a hypocrite. He believer, he says, that a preacher has as.good aright as any other map to take a drink, dance‘and play a game of cards provided he feels like doing these things. These remarks stirred to his inmost soul Mr. Urmy who is pastor of the First Methodist church in San Francisco, and this is the way he expresses himself on the subject. ; “] consider the former Rev. J. O. . MacInnes to be in the same_class with those ‘sinful hypocrites’ which he designates as ‘frauds of piety,’ for he is the biggest fraud of them all. He lies and he knows he lies when he says that it is necessary for a minister of God to be a hypocrite and overlook hypocrisy in others in order to be successfal. There was at least one hypocrite in the original twelve apostles and we must take it for granted that this proportion will be maintained until the end of time. But this should not make others turn away from Obrist and. Christianity. The church is desling with these very bypocrites and endeavoring to instill in them ® purity of mind and an honesty of purpose. “J take it that the ministry is well rid of an individual like Mr. MacInnes, who holds such false ideas as are attributed to him. He never should have entered the ministry in the first. place and he certainly has manifested his total unfitness for the holy calling. His expressions of regret at his withdrawal from it are.certainly not echoed in the hearts of other clergymen, who should be overjoyed at losing one from their midst who has proven false to the very precepts of his religion. No man would talk the way he does unless he was rotten in his heart.” Sea NER NS Special Notice. Misé E.

The Mining and Scientific Press says: This year is as prolific in mining frauds as any of its predecessors. Gold mines are not as much a subject for the swindlers as formerly. Oil and copper are the favorite forms of spurious offerings at present. Eastern papers and magazines contain seductive advertisements of oil and copper mines in California and elsewhere, stock in which is offered with alluring statements concerning. alleged profit. This stock is doubtless bought extensively by people who know no more about mining than mining does about them, and with money that many purchasers can ill afford to lose. There is little use in ‘exposing those schemes; the kind of people who buy on the basis of such misrepresentation never see a mining paper and the journals that publish the lying prospectuses take good care to make no reference to any éxpose of the swindle. As for the mining public, they are, of course, too well posted to put the slightest faith in the ridiculous statements published. The one surprise is that apparently reliable and respectable journals will prostitute their columns and help swindle their readers by accepting such advertisements.

The diggings were still paying two ounces’ per day tothe map, when they became dissatisfied and wanted to do better. . With others Mr. Isoard went to the Feather River and took up a claim. It was necessary to erect a derrick to remove large boulders, and while using 4 drawing knife he had the misfortune to cut hie knee so badly that for six months he was laid up, and never entirely recovered from the stiffness. As a consequence his mining days were over and he had to go into other business. He returned here, and in partnership Rocklin andanable totravel, = = Mr. Isoard was a charter member of the Nevada City Fire Depe rtment.

SS A Story of John Morrissey. Henry L. Dawes of Pittsfield, Mass., successor of Charles: Sumner in the senate, told the following story: “When'I was a. judge in Pittsfield, Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan fought a prize fight at’a neighboring place calied Boston Corners. Sullivan was arrested and fined $1,000. He handed over the money and went his way. A day or two later, while I was sitting on the bench, a fine looking man entered fhe courtreom and sent a letter up to ime. Itwas from a friend of mine introducing John Morrissey. He, too, was fined $1,000 and said to me that he would send me his check on his turn to New York. ; “Well, 1 didn’t know what might happen if he was let go on that anderstanding, but I said to Morrissey that any arrangement for settlement which he made with the sheriff would be satisfactory. The sheriff, feeling as I did, insisted upon having the fine paid in cash, and since Morrissey didn’t happen to have that much cash with him the sheriff locked him up until the amount was sent on from New York. “{ fancied that Morrissey felt he owed me a grudge because of this Incident. Years afterward in Washington a number of new congressmen were brought up to be introduced to me. Among them was Morrissey. When he came forward, he smiled and said, ‘Mr. Dawes, I believe we have met before.’” 4 She “Sassed Her.” Some visitors to East Gloucester paid a special call upon the woman said to be the original of Mrs. Hlizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward’s famous story, “A Madonna of the Tubs.” Mrs. known, is in Bast Gloucester. The visitors found a typical New Englander with a self evident capacity for taking care of herself. “So you are the Madonpa of the Tubs?’ said the visitors. “] am,” said-the New Englander. “and Mrs. Phelps Ward wrote a “peautiful story about you?” “She did.” “Have you.ever met Mrs. Ward?” “I have. After she wrote that story she came round here one day and hunted me up. She said as how she wanted to see me for herself.” : “How interesting!”.murmured the visitors. “And what did-you do?” Tubs. “What did I do? 1 sassed her well for writin such a story as that about me. Such a pack of lies I never. read. Why, there wasn’t one-half of it true. And she had the face to come and see me afterward! Oh, I sassed her well, 1 did!?—New York Sun. Grotesque Spelling.

After that he went to Grass Valley and: for a short time kept a saloon, going in 1855 to Sacramento and pur¢hasing the Hotel de France on Front street, It

Urmy used to’ pastor of the Methodist charch at this city. He was one of those severe, uncompromising preachers of the old school such as we read of but seldom see nowadays. The other day Rev. James U. MacInpes of Oakland quit the ministry for the alleged reason that to be a minister of the gospel one must be a hypocrite. He believer, he says, that a preacher has as.good aright as any other map to take a drink, dance‘and play a game of cards provided he feels like doing these things.. These remarks stirred to his inmost soul Mr. Urmy who is pastor of the First Methodist church in San Francisco, and this is the way he expresses himself on the subject. ; “] consider the former Rev. J. O. . MacInnes to be in the same_class with those ‘sinful hypocrites’ which he designates as ‘frauds of piety,’ for he is the biggest fraud of them all. He lies and he knows he lies when he says that it is necessary for a minister of God to be a hypocrite and overlook hypocrisy in others in order to be successfal. There was at least one hypocrite in the original twelve apostles and we must take it for granted that this proportion will be maintained until the end of time. But this should not make others turn away from Obrist and. Christianity. The church is desling with these very bypocrites and endeavoring to instill in them ® purity of mind and an honesty of purpose. “J take it that the ministry is well rid of an individual like Mr. MacInnes, who holds such false ideas as are attributed to him. He never should have entered the ministry in the first. place and he certainly has manifested his total unfitness for the holy calling. His expressions of regret at his withdrawal from it are.certainly not echoed in the hearts of other clergymen, who should be overjoyed at losing one from their midst who has proven false to the very precepts of his religion. No man would talk the way he does unless he was rotten in his heart.” Sea NER NS Special Notice. Misé E.

The Mining and Scientific Press says: This year is as prolific in mining frauds as any of its predecessors. Gold mines are not as much a subject for the swindlers as formerly. Oil and copper are the favorite forms of spurious offerings at present. Eastern papers and magazines contain seductive advertisements of oil and copper mines in California and elsewhere, stock in which is offered with alluring statements concerning. alleged profit. This stock is doubtless bought extensively by people who know no more about mining than mining does about them, and with money that many purchasers can ill afford to lose. There is little use in ‘exposing those schemes; the kind of people who buy on the basis of such misrepresentation never see a mining paper and the journals that publish the lying prospectuses take good care to make no reference to any éxpose of the swindle. As for the mining public, they are, of course, too well posted to put the slightest faith in the ridiculous statements published. The one surprise is that apparently reliable and respectable journals will prostitute their columns and help swindle their readers by accepting such advertisements.
