HYf0lufcD.


A young gentleman, andholder in the beaut-
full valley of Scott Siskiyou, arose few morn
inss since, we are positively assured, from viz
tuous blankets and refreshing slunlbers in state
of the utmost salubrity-permitted ray or two
of the glorious orb of day to fall full upon the
retina of his visual organs-snuffed in several
hundred cubic feet of the refreshing breeze of
''roseate morn''-baptized his couhenance in
piggen of pure mountain dew-imbibed glass
of the same liquid slightly diluted with the
health-inspiring extract of corn-blew shlill
blast from his nasal extremity, wiping the same
organ with his coat-tal, and incontinently in-
dulged in the following spontaneous outburst:-
"White-robed Liberty sits on her rosy clouds
above us-while the Genins of our country
standing on her throne of mountains, bids her
Eagle standard-bearer to wind her spiral course
full in the suns broad eye. And the Genius of
Christianity, surrounded by ten thousand cheru-
bins and seraphims, and ravishing halfthe heav-
ems with her loneliness, moves the panorama of
the milky way above us, and breathes immor-
tai fragrance, the very aroma of Eden, through
out all our atmosphere"

Monopoly in Mining Claims.

The following very sensible remarks from the
Placer Herald, may prove of some benefit to sec
tons other than that of Auburn:
We have intended some weeks TO speak in re-
lation to certain kind of monopoly that exists
about Auburn and many other localities in the
mlnes-that is the monopoly IN mining claims
Within the last twelve months So this sys-
tenn of monopoly has crept into the mines per-
sons have got by some means or other, all the
claims they could. They do it either by claim
ing or by purchase, thus holding the whole coun-
try to the exclusion of thousands of miners who
would go to work did they not find them mono
polized in the manner we speak of. AS an in
stance OF this, cite the vicinity of Auburn.
Last fall no town in the mines could boast of a
better prospect than ours. Thousands of miners
Hooked here from every section OF the country,
intending to get claims and go to workout upon
looking for localities they found the whole coun-
try staked off for mining purposes, but still there
were few miners working. The result was these
men who were willing to work were compelled
to leave for some other district, just because a
few had most OF the country claimed. This sys-
tenn should be broken up-it is doing more at
the present time to iniure the towns in the min
ing districts than any thing else. 1t is prevent
ing hundreds of persons from locating in
mining districts. If a regulation adopted,
allowing no miner to hold but enc claim, mat
ter whether by purchase or location, then
would see different state of affairs. Miners
would flock in and 60 to work, knowing that
they would have water to wash with. and ground
to mine. Every branch of business would re-
vive-and the country be more prosperous. 1t
would give an impulse to every branch of bust
ness, and we would no longer hear the complaint
that money is scarce"

NUMBER Z.
appropriation for sisLiyoa Volunteers.

On the 18th, the Senate bill appropriating
$23, 900 for the relief of the volunteers under
Capts. McDermt and Wright, passed that body
1t gave rise to very al mated discussion, of
which the following is synopsis, taken from the
State Journal:
Mr.. Mcmahon urged the passage of the bill
he said that the Government had neglected the
people in his portion of the State-he savages
had been unchecked by the arm of government
and had been loose upon the community rem
dering wives, widows and children orphans.
Many good men as the lights of heaven had
ever shone upon, had fallen victims to savage
cruelty, and it only to protect the lives of
citizens that these Volunteer companies had been
organized, and he thought it was but just and
proper that they should be paid.
Messrs. Brush and Redding opposed the bill.
Messrs. Reading, Proctor and Johnson urged
the passage OF the bill warmly and at length
Mr.. Brush moved to amend so as to conform
to the law OF 1882 in regard to compensation
Mr.. McAleans looked upon the passage of this
bill as an act OF sheer jusiice-as due 10 gallant
and valiant men, who had risked their lives and
expended their money in protecting their fellow
citizens. If the State is not able to pay she
should at least give her bond on fair settlement.
MIR. McMeans spoke with much feeling and was
truly eloquent
Mr.. Garfield felt it his duty to oppose the bill.
although he was not prepared to say that it was
not just-t might be Just, but he looked upon
those forays against the Digger Indians of Cali
fornia, as the most unheard Of system Of FILL
CLUSTERING. He was opposed to shouldering the
debt on the responsibilities of the Federal Co.
vernment. He argued at length against the
whole system, and charged that even in Ell Do
RADIO the war was wrong and productive OF little
good.
MIR. Proctor replied, and contended that the
question had assumed new aspect-the ques-
ton is raised, as to whether the State or
Federal Government owed the debt. He then
proceeded to defend the bill, and the action of
those who engaged in the expedition.
The discussion was continued with some ami
nation between Messrs. McMeans and Garfield.
The amendments of Mr. Brush was then voted
down and the question recurring the bill, it
was agreed to, reported to the House without
amendments and passed, ayes 90, noes II.

Eg We some time since noticed that DR.. Car
penter had contracted for the digging of an Ar
tesian Well at his residence in this city. The
result of the experiment has not proved such as
we anticipated, but nevertheless it is highly sat
isfactory. At about forty-fve feet below the
surface bed of coarse sand was struck, which
continued to grow coarser and coarser. until the
auger reached large pebbles and rolling stone,
sixty-three feet beneath the surface Through
this they could bore no further. From this point,
however, the water rose up within two feet of
the surface, and such is the supply, that in five
and half inch tube all the pumping that can be
applied to it will not lower it at all. The Doc
tor informs us that the quality of the water is of
the purest and most agreeable totally devoid of
mineral properties, and soft that it is unequal
ed by rain water for washing purposes. Two
more of these wells are already contracted for,
one at the Orleans Hotel, and one at Col. Nc
KEGS, the former for an eight inch tube.-State

EFFECT OF DEsPoTrsM UPON LITERATURE
The London AthcnQum. reviewing the literary
character of the past year, remarks that France
is for the moment, blotted out from the list of
literary nations. ''All the Muses. are silent on
her soil. Her poets are exiles-her wits and ora
tors silent. Her historians, with one bold and
noble exception, are abashed and idle" What
is true of literary France is true in its degree of
almost every other country on the continent of
Europe. "In Prussia the MUSES. have been gag
ged-as Freiligrath would tell us, did we need
his word for such a fact; in Austria they have
been sent to jail; in Italy they have been shot in
almost every market place"
