The Jeffries Forgery Case.
Owing to the inahility of the proseeution to. secure service on C. J. Shep“ herd, the Los Angeles fruit packer
whose presence as a witness was desired, the charge against C. B. Jeffries of forging Shepherd’s name to a
note for $250 will probably be dismissed. He will be immediately
rearrested on another charge—that of
forging J. N. McIntosh’s name by endorsing the check.
’ There is something peculiar to say
the least in regard to the failure to

Twe Nevada City Claims.

State M ineralogist says:
UNION MINE.
This mine is situated about two and
one half miles south éast ot Nevada
City, at an altitude of three thousand
feet. Active work was begun here
last September. The ore since extracted has yielded $18 per ton; the
gold being worth $12 per ounce. The
sulphurets are worth about $75: per

secure the attendance of Shepherd.
He was first telegraphed to concerning
the check and answered that it was a
_ forgery. The District Attorney then
telegraphed asking if he would come
without a subpoena to testify at the
preliminary examination, providing
his expenses were paid by the county.
He replied that he would not. On
the 17th instant a subpcena for him
was sent to. Sheriff M.-G. Aguirre, of
= Los Angeles county, who the prisoner
says is his cousin. The Sheriff kept
the document two days and telegraphed that Shepherd. was_out-oftown-but
was expected back onthe 9th. The
4 latter day he returned the subpena
claiming he could-not get service.A
subpeena was next sent to Chief of
Policé Cooney of Los Angeles. The
Chief on Friday also telegraphed that
he.could not tindShepherd. The officers here think there is something
“rotten in Denmark,’”’ and that the
prisoner’s relationship. to Jeffries is
responsible for it. The matter should
be thoroughly investigated, and. if
there has been any failure on the
part of the Los Angeles officers to per. form their duty, or if Shepherd is
~—-dodging service in order ¢o help Jeffries out of the scrape, steps should
be taken to punish them. The matter will not be permitted to rest here.

Is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism isconfined. If,ere this crisis of
pain is reached, that fine preventive,
Hosteiter’s Stomach Bitters, is nsed
by persons of a rheumatic tendency,
much unnnecessary suffering is avoided. Nervines,anodynes and sedatives,
are yet very desirable at times. Yet
cin they produce no lasting effect upen rheumatism, because they have no
power to eliminate from the blood the
rheumatic virus. Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters does this, and checks at the
outset a disease’ which, if allowed to
‘. gain headway, it is next to impossible
to dislodge or to do more than relieve.
Rheumatism, it should be rememb ered,is a disease with a fatal tendency
from its proneness to attack the heart.
A resort to the Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney
complaint, malaria and nervousness
are relieved by it. :

Wm. McLean}
‘author of
at an evening party, started
e line quoted from ‘'Marmion,” he went
age his
the form of what he--read-sothat,
. were destroyed,
present. The War Minister was put.to the
test, and when started could repeat from
memory a chapter of any of Dickens’
books, showing a much greater knowledge
of the works than their author could boast.
Mr: Stanton accounted for this intimate
knowledge of Dickens by mentioning the
habit which ho had formed during the war
of invariably reading something by the
“Pickwick’ before going to
bed at night. The late Bishop Prince Lee,
first Bishop of Manchester, was. similarly
gifted. It is related of him that being once,
alady with
right on with the poem from memory, and
could have recited the whole, As a further
teat, the same lady quoteda words
from a conversation in “Ivanhoe,”” whereupon the Bishop repeated the whole chapter
correctly from memory. But greater than
any of, these was Lord Macaulay.
From a very early age the retentiveness of his memory: was extraordinary.When only three or four years of
mind mechanically retained
as his maid said, he talked “quite—printed
words.” Once asa child, when making an
afternoon‘call with his father, he picked up
Scott's ‘Lay of the t Minstrel” for the
first time, and quietly devoured the treasure
while his seniors were engaged in conversa«
tion. When they returned home the boy
went to his mother, who at the timo was
confined to her bed, and sitting down at the
bedside repeated what he had been reading, .
by the canto, until she was tired, Later in
life his wonderful memory was always @
subject of interest to his friends, and occasionally was put tosearching tests. One day
ata board meeting at the British Museum
Macaulay wrote down from memory in
three parallel columns on each of four
pages of foolscap a complete list of the Cambridge senior wranglers, with dates and colleges attached, for the one hundred years
during which arecord of the names had been
keptin the University calendar. “On another occasion,’’ says Trevelyan, “Sir David
Dundas asked; ‘Macaulay, do you know:
your Popes?’ ‘No,’ was the answer, ‘I ab
ways got wrong among the Innocents,’ "But,
can you say your Archbishops of Canterbury?’ ‘Any fool,’ said Macaulay, ‘could
say his Archbishops of Canterbury backward,’ and he went off at score, drawing
breath only once in order to remark on the
oddity of their having been both an Arch~~ bishop Sancroft and an Archbishop Bancroft,
until Sir David stopped him at Cranmer,”
Macaulay once said that if, by any possible
chance, allthe copies of ‘Paradise Lost’’
and the ‘‘Pilgrim’s Progress” in existence
he could. write both
out again,complete, from recollection, When
O'Connell made his motion in 1834 for the . repeal of the union, Mr. Tennant, member
of Parliament-for Belfast, delivered a speoch
lasting for three and a half hours, full of figures and calculations, entirely from memory, in which he trusted so completély that
‘he sent the manuscript of his speech to the
newspapers before he delivered “it, \His
confidence was not misplaced, for the ora. tion was spoken without a-single mistake,
‘or éven a momentary hesitation, Another
Irish M. P., Mr. Robert Dillon Brown, mem; ber for Mayo, had the same useful faculty.
He would dictate a speech to an amanuensis,
and twenty-four hours afterwards, without
looking at it or thinking of the matter in
the meantime, could repeat it word for
word, Woodfall,» editor of the Morning
Chronicle, and brother of. Junius’ publisher,
was able to report accurately in the morning tho debate of the previous evening without taking any notes. In some cases the
mental action involved in feats of this nature would seem to be quite mechanical and
unintelligent, In the newspapers of January, 1820, there are accounts of an extraordinary man, who was known as ‘‘ Memorycorner Thompson.’’ This man, although he
could hardly remember any thing he heard,
. could yet retain perfectly the names and descriptions of large collections of objects that
. met his eye. He could take an inventory of
the contents of a house from cellar to attic
merely by surveying them, and: could
afterward write it out from memory. He could draw from _ recollec
tion accurate plans of many London parishes and districts, with every
street, alley, public building, public house,
etc., duly noted, down to the. minutest
topographical detail, such as pumps, trees,
bow-windows and posts, all correctly
marked. Conspicuous instances of this mechanical kind of memory are to be found
among the famous mental calculators. Jed-édiah Buxton was acelebrity of this kind
about the middie of the last century. He
had but little education and, indeed, was
not able to write his own name. But in
arithmetic and in abstruse calculations his
powers were wonderful. The following
isa specimen of the problems which, when
put to the test, he solved mentally in a few
minutes: Find how many cubical eighths of
an inch there are in a quadrangular mass
measuring 23,145,789 yards long, 2,642,782
yards wide and 54,965 yards thick, When
in London in 1754 he was taken to see Garrick as Richard HI. at Drury Lane. The
play did not interest him, but he occupied
himself in reckoning the number of words
he heard and in counting the number of
steps made by the dancers. Thé American
boy, Zerah Colburn, who came to London in .
1812, was a similar phenomenon. He had
_ no knowledge of the rules of arithmetic,
and was quite unable to explain how he arrived at the answers to the problems submitted to him. Mental power of this nature would seem to imply an’ unwholesome
development of. one part of the brain at the
expense of the reat.
fhe American Flag. ‘
there is a law regulating the making of the
American flag.
that on the Fourth of July following the admission of a State a new star shall be added
to the blue field of the flag: -Theére are now
thirty-eight States in the Union, and ‘there
should be thirty-eight stars in the field of
the flag. Many of the cheap flags have not
the requisite number of stars, because it is
much easier to have stars in rows, with an
even number each way, which can not be
secured with thirty-eight, .
