Said a fresh arrival from the East to been struck since coming to California with. the difference between the appearance of the women of the Pacific coust and those of the Atlantic, but I have never become 80 conscious the great difference as since my rival in this portion ‘of the count Perhaps one reason may be, that in San Francisco there are more new comers from the East; but I believe that the great reason is that there is under the healthful atmosphere here, even a finer development than on the coast. I do not mean to gay that there are more beautiful faces here than in other parts of America, where all.nations have been struck with that particular beauty in women; but no person can fail to notice the fullness and grace of the contour of the figures of the foot-hill women, alike distant from the old maidish thinness, rigidity ecrawnishness of the New England States, or the fatness so often “put of arry. have been long married. This may not be so marked in places where there is 4 constant current—of.stran—. gers, but it can be seen here daily, both among the quite young and those. whose ages are beyond mention. Perhaps T might sum up the whole by saying that here your women do not have the old maidish angularity of the East, nor the old matronly fatness that so often prevails there.’ A Baby Show Proposed, It has been proposed at Grass Valley that a baby show be given forthe benefit of the Ladies’ Relief Society of. that town, It is thought that such an entertainment would pay as well if not better than a match game of baseball between the Mining Engineers and Business Men. Speaking of baby shows recalls the following written by some appreciative individual who had attended one: Babies, half a dozen score, Ranged in lines along the floor. Babies choked in fondling smothers, Gazed on jealously by mothers, Lightly scorned by sons and brothers. Babies red-headed, babies bald, Babies be-swaddled, babies be-shawled, Babies that slobbered,’ babies that squalled, Dandled bables, babies sprawling; Fallen babies, babies falling; Babies crowned with heads apalling; Babies guggling in their throttles; Babies goggling at their botties; Babies flushing into mottles. Let us leave these infant gabies! Stranger, ‘‘qiod petisti, habes’’— Babies, babies, babies, babies! Skipped by the Light of the Moon. The Tidings has the following :, ‘‘Recently two women of the town who have played the walk-into-my-parlorsaid-the-spider-to-the-fly game in Grass Valley for some time past decided to seek new fields. For fear a large number of creditors might prove obstructionists the soiled doves shipped their goods and chattels in small lots, thus not arousing suspition. This plan successfully earried out, a evening and the next morning the deceivers were passengers on the down train from Modern Athens, A livery stable man forced a settlement just previous to their departure, but it is said that fully a dozen of our merchants are out and injured, the aggregate sum approximating $250.” C Gratifying Rumors. There were two very pleasing rumors floating about town yesterday af-" ternoon. One was to the effect that a buyer has been found for a good-sized intereatin the Oro Fino mine, and that within a few'days the financial difficulties of the property will Be adjusted and work resumed there. ‘The other rumor is that arrangements are being made to settle all claims against the Nevada City Mining Company so as to permit operations to recommenc there. “A Long Term. Nathaniel Foard, the colored man, formerly residing at this city, who snatched a breast-pin from Lena Johnson, a. white waitress’ at Morosco’s Theater, in San Francisco, while he was dancing with her at a promiscuous ball in Ixora Hall, was sentenced by Judge Hornblower to sixmonths imprisonment in his old quarter at the House of Correction. This makes about the fifth time he has been in such trouble since leaving here. Boy Prospectors, Some young lads went Thursday to a ravine near Maltman’s sulphuret works and in a little while panned out six or seven dollars’ worth of gold.

It was not a full month’s run. Several tramps have arrived here lately. They better leave town before the officers snatch them up bald-headed before a justice of the peace. ~~-Phe trial of the case of Doherty vs. Chappell, which was to have taken place in the Superior Court yesterday, has been postponed without date. Quite a number of men are engaged atthe old Banner. mine. That mine will be heard from’in a tangible manner before many months have elapsed. The question now is, what are we going to do with. the hundreds of wealth-seekers whocontemplate coming to Nevada City during the coming summer? ‘There is more talk about building a: fine hotel at Colfax. Wouldn’t iit, be grand to have a big, first-class hotel at that place with Dennis McCarthy as landlord? The head office of the Downieville Stage Company -has been removed from Marysville to this city and Wm. H. Crawford conducts the business connected with it. ~The lower Grass Valley road between this city and Town Talk being macadamized keeps in fair condition despite the storms.

They say there are two men in that town who van out-talk any two men inthe world. The contest to come off is for the championship of North America. : ; In the appeal of Dunstone vs. Kneebone, Judge Walling ordered that the case be dismissed unless the appe lant pay the costs of the motion and $10 attorney fees. -The-order—to-dismisswas not unconditional, as inadvertently published yesterday. About six months ago ex-Congressman Frank Page informed the Associated Press agent that he would leave for Nevada City in a few days to work and superintend the Fortuna mine. The mine is here but Page has not as yet put in an appearance. The Excelsoir Water und Mining Company have let a contract to construct on the Rex place a short dis. tance below Rough and Ready a dam in which to store water for the Penn Valley system of irrigating ditches now in course of construction.

It is this paper’s private opinion publicly expressed that it is just a “little bit” too early to talk The San Juan Times of yesterday says: The General Grant mine has levied an assessment of three cents per share on the capital ‘stock of the company, to pay expenses incurred during the present month while the mill was closed down for want of motive power, owing to the freezingup of the company’s water supply. ‘This office received a letter yesterday making inquiry if a large store eould be had here for the purpose of opening up a new dry goods establishment. In reply a letter was written notifying the gentleman that a store eould be had, but advising him to open up somewhere else as there are more stores here of that kind than can be supported by the present population. _ Their Business Booming.

This is oné of the few mining counties that’ has not lost greatly in population, and with its untold wealth, it is only to be wondered at that it does not.at this day possess a much larger population. There is an abundance of rich rock now waiting to be crushed, and the county is within such easy distance of San Francisco, that a capitalist there can give personal attention to his business here without difficulty. Mining is said to be a precarious business. When you® have a vein that is known, it is but little more precarious.than any other businéss. To the capitalist of heavy means, and of business habits, it is as certain in its profits as any manufacture. He who has only the capital tolive from-hand to mouth, may win or lose, but even he, if industrious and careful and economical, will in most cases do well. Ks Or The Mecca of Homeseekers. The irregular streets of Nevada City and Grass Valley might shock. a recTheir very irregularity is however a genuine charm to the great mass of people who behold them. These eternal hills of glittering gold and luscious fruits and life-giving climate will »as they become better known abroad attract a population that will thickly people them.

Then they argued half au hour or so, and were getting excited over the issue, when ariother lawyer settled the controversy by going to the register of civil and criminal actions and. counting over the entries. He found that were commenced 148 suits, and for the preceding year but 99. . The probate business has also. increased greatly during the past year. The majority of people who die nowadays leave wills, whereas it was the rule formerly for them to neglect this precaution. Wills create much extra labor for the Clerk’s office, and are a fruitful source of revenue to the county by reason of the fees connected. with their probating, recording, etc. Despite the complaints about ‘‘hard times,’’ there have been comparatively few insolvency cases of ‘late. The year 1885 was the most prolific of them of any year in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, but subsequent to that time they have been a rarity. ‘for the year ending yesterday there . . Another handsome book-case has been put inte the Superior Judge's chambers. When Judge Walling’s term began he made ‘arrangement with the Supervisors whereby he agreed to furnish. his own library provided the county would. furnish. the cases tokeep the books in. The county is expected to have a library for the use of the Judge, but to got one would require a heavy outlay. To be sure it already has a large quantity of books dignified by the name of a library, but they are so antiquated as not to be worth shelf-room. ‘They were purchased a good many years ago from the late ex-Senator Sargent. They probably cost when new $2,000. One hundred dollars would be a liberal price for them now. There is no pretension made of adding recent publications to the collection, and there has not been for years. In San Francisco a fund for the Superior Court library is provided, but nothing of the kind exists here. The county should get rid of thatcld library, for the money tied upin it benefits nobody. More Economy Required. One of the evils that Californians have en¢ountered, and which is a serious drawback upon the general prosperity cf the people, is extravagance. All the old settlers particularly, who have passed through the flush days of gold mining, when a twenty or @ fifty dollar slug was no more prized than a dollar is now, find it difiicult to adapt their mode of living and spending money to the changed financial state of things. Hundreds of families in Nevada county, had they lived as economically as they doubtless would had they been in the Atlantic States, would be comfortable and independent; whereas they are in straitened circumstances. One of tho seri ous faults with a great portion of our little beyond, their income. Instead of adding’to their capital they are diminishing it. Families whose means will not permit of extravagance must take lessons in economy. Instead of silks and sutins they must use plainer and more useful fabrics. Frugality must enter into all the departments of domestic life, Industry without it is ‘in nine cases out of ten without avail. The halcyon days of gold mining have passed away, never to return. Fortunes will. be more exceptional than ever, and the Vast majority of our peo{ple must-content. theméelves—with a fair living, and cease taking hazardous Alt cannot get rich—not one in fifty. If,#efi and women would. generally exercise more prudence in the management of their finances, and run less after fashion,and practice economy as they doin New England and the Northwestern States, the mining regions of the State would be in a more prosperous ‘condition.

But Where Is a Better One in All the Wide World? t ~A fellow citizen was growling the other day about the recent cold weather here. He thinks this region too uncertain for fruit, and wishes to emigrate to a warmer climate where frosts are unknown. This shows how fickle men can be, and how a trifling misfortune will lead people to be dissatisfied with the region where they live. The: truth is these foothi'ls are unsurpassed by any other portion of the United States for certainty of prodacing all the fruits that are indigenItis a ous to the temperate zone. yory common thing throug Northern and Wes States for fruit, vegotables, and even the grain crop, to be injupéd by early and late frosts”. Corn potatoes, beans, buckwheat, and ves, suffer almost every year in those\ States from frosts. Even the orange\ groves of Southern California have \been badly nipped this winter, while frosts are not infrequent in Florida’s citrus belt. The warm countries that border the Mediterranean Sea on the north frequently lose their tropical fruits by the cold weather, In fact there:is hardly any climate on the face of the globe tit for the full development of the white race, where: damage is not done by frosts. People that seek-for a milder and better climate, Where the products of the temperate zone are any more certain than in this Lititude and longitude, will seex.in-vain and realize disappointment. A land where frosts are unknown may do for alligators, crocodiles, negroes, Hottentets, scorpions and anacondas, but not for white men. : Seaman coker California Wines and Brandies. [t must be gratifying to Californians, and especially to these engaged in viniculture, to learn that. there is a steadily increasing demand for our wines. and brandies in the Eastern States. As the quality of them is improved by age and further experience in their manufacture, and their character becomes better .known, they will be more and more appreciated at the Kast, and the demand will increase faster than our ability to supply it. We need have no fears of over being able to overstock the market. This. demand for the product of the vine. is of special importance to the psople of the mountains, where the soil and climate are the best adapted of any in the in the State to the production of the finest flavored wines, and must eventually take precedence over the highest priced wines of Germany and France. Our white or amber colored wine become mellowed at the age of four or five years, and equal tothe best imported Madeira or Sherry, It resembles those wines, but still has a flavor peculiarly its own, ‘This wine will unquestionably be improved by further experience in its mannfacture and management. Red wines, resembling portand claret, and of good quality, are also manufactured in considerable quantities in the mountains, It is said that a voyage around Cape Horn improves the brandy equal to the addition of two years in itsage, and our stronger wines.are-also improved by a sea voyage. ~+-2@ere-——— Struck the Blue Lead. The Union of yesterday says: The blue gravel lead was struck in the “Pet”? claim on Randolph Flat” on Wednesday night. The claim is situated to the south of the Flat.on the roid leading to Rough and. Ready, andis near McCharles’ ranch. The lead was struck ‘in the shaft at the depth of 100 feet from the surface, The strike in the Pet claim indicates that the channel is going westward, or a little south of west, and that there may be good encouragement for the It is too soon yet to say how important the find in the Pet is, The bondees forming the company include a number of miners and business men. in Grass Valley. Randolph Flat was an active mining Camp in early days, and there were a number of rich claims, but these have long since been worked out, and no mining operations of consequence have been carried on at the Flat for many years. It is possiblé that this lead, as now found in the Cunningham and Pet cluims, was the feeder to Randolph Flat, and may cause a revival of mining in that locality that vill rival the pioneer days.

The crushing, chlorine and smelting works will when completed give employment to eighteen or twenty men. Teamsters hauling freight tothe upper country will on their return trips bring down loads of ores from various ‘mines whose prodact cannot be made profitable without’ the smelting process which has not before been available without going to the expense of shipping the ores to San Francisco. The building of the new smelting and crushing works will be. commenced by Mr. Maltman as soon as the winter storms are over, $6 rwrrns Reguiating Mining. The Mining and Scientific Press makes this suggestion: In-view of the wasteful manner in whieh many of our mineral deposits are known to be worked, id the serious accidents that are constantly occurring, it may well be questioned if something like a code of mine regulation. should not be enacted by the Legislatures of those States and Territories in which this business is largely carried on, provision being made for the. appointment of inspectors to see that mining wae being properly conducted, and that these regulations were properly observed. The rulesin force in old mining countries, changed to suit cireumstances, might, no doubt, be by ‘us adopted to advantage, these -being the results of long experience and having been tested by practical’ trial. These regulations should look not only to protect the miner in life and limb, but also to preserving his health and insuring his comfort. eh a A Matter of Business.

Tho Sutter Farmer makes the curious objection to Congressman Biggs’ bill providing for'a debris commission, that as mining is'a private industry, pursued for private gain, any expenditures in its behalf by Congress ‘is no more legitimate than: if donated to maintain our levees.” To this the Auburn Republican responds: The premise of the Farmer is correct. Mining is prosecuted for private gain, but the industry is sv’ important, there have been so many engaged in it, and its output has such a bearing on the commercial condition of the country, that an unredsonab!e—obstruction to it becomes a matter of national concern, The business of plying boats on our rivers is prosecuted for private gain, but the Government. very rightly sees itto expend large sums. of money to keep our rivers in a navigable condition, Government money is used on the Sacramento river every day for the benefit of people in the Sacramento. valley. Fishing is prosecuted for private gain, but the Government—ases money to protect our coast fishermen and ought to use: more, There area few cranks among our hydraulic miners who think they should be allowed to continue hydraulicking at any cost or risk to the valloys.

Mr, Nye's can for the high office to which he aspires has brought him into such prominence that at the mass meetIng held last evening in Jimmy Avory’s bar. ber shop he was recognized at once by a Maine man while maki.g a telling speech in favor of putting in a stone culvert at the draw above Mandel's ranch. The man from Maine, who is \visiting our thriving little town with a view to locating here and establishing an agency for his world renowned tock alum ax. helves, says that Mr. Nye, in the hurry and rush incident to his ! for Canada, overlooked his wife seven, little ones, He also says that the candidate's boasted liberality here is-different from the kind he was using while in Maine, and quotes the following incident: Two years before he went away from Penobscot county one of our present: candidate's children was on the railroad track of -the Moosehead, Lake railroad, when suddenly there was a wild shriek of the iron a timid, scared cry of the child, and the rushing train was upon it, turned ‘ away in terror, The air seemed: heavy and * 4 the sun seemed to stop its shining. Slowlythe long freight train, loaded with its rich freight of huckleberries, came to a halt. Then a glad cry went up from the assembly as the broad shouldered engineer came out of the tall grass with the crowing child in his arms, Then cheer on cheer rent the air, and in tho midst of it all Mr, Nye appeared. He was told of the circumstance, and, as he wrung tho hand of the engineer, tears stood tn his eyes. Then, reaching in his pocket, he drew forth a card, and writing his autograph on it, he’ gave it to the astounded , telling him to use it wisely and not fritter it away, ‘But are you not robbing yourself? d exclaimed the astonished and delighted engi— reer: ‘No, oh no,’ said the munificent parent, ‘I have others left.’ And thisis the man who ’ asks our suffrages!

All we maintain is the possibility’ of three competent engineers arriving at a conclusion which will be entitled to as much respect as the opinions of the editors of the Sacramento wulley.

I do not mean to gay that there are more beautiful faces here than in other parts of America, where all.nations have been struck with that particular beauty in women; but no person can fail to notice the fullness and grace of the contour of the figures of the foot-hill women, alike distant from the old maidish thinness, rigidity ecrawnishness of the New England States, or the fatness so often “put of arry. have been long married.

Speaking of baby shows recalls the following written by some appreciative individual who had attended one: Babies, half a dozen score, Ranged in lines along the floor. Babies choked in fondling smothers, Gazed on jealously by mothers, Lightly scorned by sons and brothers. Babies red-headed, babies bald, Babies be-swaddled, babies be-shawled, Babies that slobbered,’ babies that squalled, Dandled bables, babies sprawling; Fallen babies, babies falling; Babies crowned with heads apalling; Babies guggling in their throttles; Babies goggling at their botties; Babies flushing into mottles.

This is oné of the few mining counties that’ has not lost greatly in population, and with its untold wealth, it is only to be wondered at that it does not.at this day possess a much larger population. There is an abundance of rich rock now waiting to be crushed, and the county is within such easy distance of San Francisco, that a capitalist there can give personal attention to his business here without difficulty. Mining is said to be a precarious business. When you® have a vein that is known, it is but little more precarious.than any other businéss. To the capitalist of heavy means, and of business habits, it is as certain in its profits as any manufacture. He who has only the capital tolive from-hand to mouth, may win or lose, but even he, if industrious and careful and economical, will in most cases do well. Ks Or The Mecca of Homeseekers.

Then they argued half au hour or so, and were getting excited over the issue, when ariother lawyer settled the controversy by going to the register of civil and criminal actions and. counting over the entries. He found that were commenced 148 suits, and for the preceding year but 99. . The probate business has also. increased greatly during the past year. The majority of people who die nowadays leave wills, whereas it was the rule formerly for them to neglect this precaution. Wills create much extra labor for the Clerk’s office, and are a fruitful source of revenue to the county by reason of the fees connected. with their probating, recording, etc. Despite the complaints about ‘‘hard times,’’ there have been comparatively few insolvency cases of ‘late. The year 1885 was the most prolific of them of any year in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, but subsequent to that time they have been a rarity. ‘for the year ending yesterday there . . Another handsome book-case has been put inte the Superior Judge's chambers. When Judge Walling’s term began he made ‘arrangement with the Supervisors whereby he agreed to furnish. his own library provided the county would. furnish. the cases tokeep the books in. The county is expected to have a library for the use of the Judge, but to got one would require a heavy outlay. To be sure it already has a large quantity of books dignified by the name of a library, but they are so antiquated as not to be worth shelf-room. ‘They were purchased a good many years ago from the late ex-Senator Sargent. They probably cost when new $2,000. One hundred dollars would be a liberal price for them now. There is no pretension made of adding recent publications to the collection, and there has not been for years. In San Francisco a fund for the Superior Court library is provided, but nothing of the kind exists here. The county should get rid of thatcld library, for the money tied upin it benefits nobody. More Economy Required. One of the evils that Californians have en¢ountered, and which is a serious drawback upon the general prosperity cf the people, is extravagance. All the old settlers particularly, who have passed through the flush days of gold mining, when a twenty or @ fifty dollar slug was no more prized than a dollar is now, find it difiicult to adapt their mode of living and spending money to the changed financial state of things. Hundreds of families in Nevada county, had they lived as economically as they doubtless would had they been in the Atlantic States, would be comfortable and independent; whereas they are in straitened circumstances. One of tho seri ous faults with a great portion of our little beyond, their income. Instead of adding’to their capital they are diminishing it. Families whose means will not permit of extravagance must take lessons in economy. Instead of silks and sutins they must use plainer and more useful fabrics. Frugality must enter into all the departments of domestic life, Industry without it is ‘in nine cases out of ten without avail. The halcyon days of gold mining have passed away, never to return. Fortunes will. be more exceptional than ever, and the Vast majority of our peo{ple must-content. theméelves—with a fair living, and cease taking hazardous Alt cannot get rich—not one in fifty. If,#efi and women would. generally exercise more prudence in the management of their finances, and run less after fashion,and practice economy as they doin New England and the Northwestern States, the mining regions of the State would be in a more prosperous ‘condition.

But Where Is a Better One in All the Wide World? t ~A fellow citizen was growling the other day about the recent cold weather here. He thinks this region too uncertain for fruit, and wishes to emigrate to a warmer climate where frosts are unknown. This shows how fickle men can be, and how a trifling misfortune will lead people to be dissatisfied with the region where they live. The: truth is these foothi'ls are unsurpassed by any other portion of the United States for certainty of prodacing all the fruits that are indigenItis a ous to the temperate zone. yory common thing throug Northern and Wes States for fruit, vegotables, and even the grain crop, to be injupéd by early and late frosts”. Corn potatoes, beans, buckwheat, and ves, suffer almost every year in those\ States from frosts. Even the orange\ groves of Southern California have \been badly nipped this winter, while frosts are not infrequent in Florida’s citrus belt. The warm countries that border the Mediterranean Sea on the north frequently lose their tropical fruits by the cold weather, In fact there:is hardly any climate on the face of the globe tit for the full development of the white race, where: damage is not done by frosts. People that seek-for a milder and better climate, Where the products of the temperate zone are any more certain than in this Lititude and longitude, will seex.in-vain and realize disappointment. A land where frosts are unknown may do for alligators, crocodiles, negroes, Hottentets, scorpions and anacondas, but not for white men. : Seaman coker California Wines and Brandies. [t must be gratifying to Californians, and especially to these engaged in viniculture, to learn that. there is a steadily increasing demand for our wines. and brandies in the Eastern States. As the quality of them is improved by age and further experience in their manufacture, and their character becomes better .known, they will be more and more appreciated at the Kast, and the demand will increase faster than our ability to supply it. We need have no fears of over being able to overstock the market. This. demand for the product of the vine. is of special importance to the psople of the mountains, where the soil and climate are the best adapted of any in the in the State to the production of the finest flavored wines, and must eventually take precedence over the highest priced wines of Germany and France. Our white or amber colored wine become mellowed at the age of four or five years, and equal tothe best imported Madeira or Sherry, It resembles those wines, but still has a flavor peculiarly its own, ‘This wine will unquestionably be improved by further experience in its mannfacture and management. Red wines, resembling portand claret, and of good quality, are also manufactured in considerable quantities in the mountains, It is said that a voyage around Cape Horn improves the brandy equal to the addition of two years in itsage, and our stronger wines.are-also improved by a sea voyage. ~+-2@ere-——— Struck the Blue Lead. The Union of yesterday says: The blue gravel lead was struck in the “Pet”? claim on Randolph Flat” on Wednesday night. The claim is situated to the south of the Flat.on the roid leading to Rough and. Ready, andis near McCharles’ ranch. The lead was struck ‘in the shaft at the depth of 100 feet from the surface, The strike in the Pet claim indicates that the channel is going westward, or a little south of west, and that there may be good encouragement for the It is too soon yet to say how important the find in the Pet is, The bondees forming the company include a number of miners and business men. in Grass Valley. Randolph Flat was an active mining Camp in early days, and there were a number of rich claims, but these have long since been worked out, and no mining operations of consequence have been carried on at the Flat for many years. It is possiblé that this lead, as now found in the Cunningham and Pet cluims, was the feeder to Randolph Flat, and may cause a revival of mining in that locality that vill rival the pioneer days.

The Mining and Scientific Press makes this suggestion: In-view of the wasteful manner in whieh many of our mineral deposits are known to be worked, id the serious accidents that are constantly occurring, it may well be questioned if something like a code of mine regulation. should not be enacted by the Legislatures of those States and Territories in which this business is largely carried on, provision being made for the. appointment of inspectors to see that mining wae being properly conducted, and that these regulations were properly observed. The rulesin force in old mining countries, changed to suit cireumstances, might, no doubt, be by ‘us adopted to advantage, these -being the results of long experience and having been tested by practical’ trial. These regulations should look not only to protect the miner in life and limb, but also to preserving his health and insuring his comfort. eh a A Matter of Business.

Professor Proctor explains that the planet is now at its greatest. brilliancy, having reached its furthest elongation west (47°) on. December 2d. It new precedes the sun by some three hours. The occurrence, he says, is not of sufficient rarity to Warrant any such superstition as has lately prevailed.

Tho Sutter Farmer makes the curious objection to Congressman Biggs’ bill providing for'a debris commission, that as mining is'a private industry, pursued for private gain, any expenditures in its behalf by Congress ‘is no more legitimate than: if donated to maintain our levees.” To this the Auburn Republican responds: The premise of the Farmer is correct. Mining is prosecuted for private gain, but the industry is sv’ important, there have been so many engaged in it, and its output has such a bearing on the commercial condition of the country, that an unredsonab!e—obstruction to it becomes a matter of national concern, The business of plying boats on our rivers is prosecuted for private gain, but the Government. very rightly sees itto expend large sums. of money to keep our rivers in a navigable condition, Government money is used on the Sacramento river every day for the benefit of people in the Sacramento. valley. Fishing is prosecuted for private gain, but the Government—ases money to protect our coast fishermen and ought to use: more, There area few cranks among our hydraulic miners who think they should be allowed to continue hydraulicking at any cost or risk to the valloys.

Mr. Nye’s disappearance was so mysterious that prominent Penobscotters, especially the sheriff, offered a large reward for his person. It was afterwards learned that he was and taken across the Canadian line by a high” ipirited and high stepping horse valued at 61,300. Mr, Nye's can for the high office to which he aspires has brought him into such prominence that at the mass meetIng held last evening in Jimmy Avory’s bar. ber shop he was recognized at once by a Maine man while maki.g a telling speech in favor of putting in a stone culvert at the draw above Mandel's ranch. The man from Maine, who is \visiting our thriving little town with a view to locating here and establishing an agency for his world renowned tock alum ax. helves, says that Mr. Nye, in the hurry and rush incident to his ! for Canada, overlooked his wife seven, little ones, He also says that the candidate's boasted liberality here is-different from the kind he was using while in Maine, and quotes the following incident: Two years before he went away from Penobscot county one of our present: candidate's children was on the railroad track of -the Moosehead, Lake railroad, when suddenly there was a wild shriek of the iron a timid, scared cry of the child, and the rushing train was upon it, turned ‘ away in terror, The air seemed: heavy and * 4 the sun seemed to stop its shining.

Then a glad cry went up from the assembly as the broad shouldered engineer came out of the tall grass with the crowing child in his arms, Then cheer on cheer rent the air, and in tho midst of it all Mr, Nye appeared.. He was told of the circumstance, and, as he wrung tho hand of the engineer, tears stood tn his eyes. Then, reaching in his pocket, he drew forth a card, and writing his autograph on it, he’ gave it to the astounded , telling him to use it wisely and not fritter it away, ‘But are you not robbing yourself? d exclaimed the astonished and delighted engi— reer: ‘No, oh no,’ said the munificent parent, ‘I have others left.’ And thisis the man who ’ asks our suffrages!

Without a fair trial, they refuse to believe that dams, fluines to waste lands or any device to prevent dumping debris-on-the valley farms is practicable. All we maintain is the possibility’ of three competent engineers arriving at a conclusion which will be entitled to as much respect as the opinions of the editors of the Sacramento wulley.
