LAKE MoNo-In relation to the whereabouts
and other intelligence respecting this beautiful
sheet of water, the Placerville American fur
nishes interesting information "The Lake
derives its name from the tribe of Indians who
people large district of country surround
ing it, and known as the Monos. Their coun-
try embraces all that portion of California
lying east of the Sierras, and along the western
border of that, as yet, almost unknown country
called the Desert-and extending from near
Walkers Lake, on the north, southerly far
beyond Ovens Lake, or nearly two hundred
miles. This is probably the largest body of
fresh water in California, excepting perhaps the
Tulare lakes and marshes, 1t is over fifty
miles in length, and from ten TO fifteen broad
and unlike many California lakes, is in part
very deep. 1t contains number of islands !;
the principal one is Grand Island, ten miles in
length, and two broad. Nearly two thirds of
the northern portion Of this island is rocky
and barren; the remainder covered with soil,
and in a few places produces melons, pumpkins
and Mexican beans, cultivated by the few Monos
resident there.
The lake is so surrounded by mountains, as
to hide it entirely from view at distance of
five miles in any direction, except at the south
end; here an extended view is had of the lake
for many miles, by ascending the hills on either
side of Crosby's river. From the mountain
ridge on the east side of the lake, flow few
small streamlets, fed from springs among its
canons. Nearly all the streams upon its west
ern border, flow through canons, previous to
emerging into the narrow valley, or belt of level
land, surrounding the lake. 1t has no outlet
whatever, and seems never to have had The
water is quite fresh and palatable, and the home
of myriads of fishes.

DISCOVERY OF TITLE TO VALUABLE PROPERTY
IN NEW YORK CITY.---f .NTnefu-nine Yeays'
Lease---Two Of our own citizens have recently
discovered titles to q large estate in New York
city and in New Jersey, of which they have re-
manned in blissful ignorance all their lives. The
property in New York is claimed by the discoy-
cry OF some old title Deeds which have been lost
since the time of the Revolution. The circum-
stances are, that at about the time of the break
Ing out Of the Revolution, an old lady resided
upon farm now embracing the most central
part OF New York city, and not willing to en-
counter the troubles incident to the apprSachinp
struggle, she returned to Holland, her native
country, to remain till the war was over, leay.-
ing daughter in New York and sons in the
country But, unfortunately, about year
previous to the close Of the war, she died sud.
denly, and when search was made for the deeds
to her farm and other property in this country,
tney could not be found, and remained undis-
covered until few weeks ago. In the mean
time her family was scattered, and her personal
efscts household furniture, ETC., were distribu-
ted with them. Among other articles, rela-
tive came in possession Of an old bureau that had
been in her family over forty years.
IL mad always been noticed by the possessor
OF this old heirloom, that upon the under aide
of one Of the drawers was nailed firmly q square
piece Of tin, but it was supposed to have been
placed there to cover q hole or defect in the
drawer. A few weeks ago, however, the lady
who possessed the article, was led, on overhaul
ing its contents, and noticing that the drawer
was completely sound, to remove this piece Of
tin. On doing so, what should she discover but
the long missing documents, consisting of seven
title deeds, on parchment, in the Dutch Ian
guage, all in perfect state of preservation.
Of course this discovery was at once made
known to the relatives and heirs, among the
number two we'll known citizens of Oswepo and
the proper steps for recovering the property,
most Of which is now held by the corporation of
New York, are about to be taken.
But this is not all. The discovery Of these
documents has led to the discovery of title to
valuable property, embracing some fifty thous-
and acres Of land in New Jersey. In this case,
1t seems an ancestor Of these heirs, who was
large landholder nearly one hundred years ago,
leased large quantity Of land in New Jersey
in small farms, to different individuals, for a
term Of ninety-n years. These leases are
now about to expire, and the property will re-
vert to the heirs above named.

Voltaire's Epieram.


Free Mason Economist, Bard Politician.
How had Europe rejoiced. If o Christian he'd been,
III man, how would he have enraptured his Queen.
This was handed about Berlin, and shown to
that great legislator, the Prussian monarch,
who deemed it libel, because it was true; and
instead of employing counsel, filing an infor-
nation, and taking other tedious methods, took
more summary way of furnishing the author,
who, he knew, from internal evidence, must be
Votaire, at that time resident at Berlin.
lie sent his sergeant at arms, one of the tall
regiment, not with a mace and scrap of parch-
ment, but with such an instrument as the En-
glish drummers use for the good of the foot SOL
diers who commit any offence against the law
military. The Prussian hero went to the house
of the poet, and told him he came by his ma
jesty's special command, to reward him for an
epigram on his royol master, by administering
thirty lashes on his naked back The poor
philosopher knew that remonstrance was vain,
and after submitting with the best grace he
could, opened the door and made farewell
congo to his unweleome visitor, who did not
offer to depart, but told him with the most Ger
manic gravity, "that the ceremony was not yet
concluded, for that the monarch .e had the
honor of serving must be convinced that his
commission was punctually fulfilled, on which
account he must have a receipt This was
ais, submitted to, and given in the manner and
form following:

Bachoffrer, thirty 1ashes on my naked back,
being in full of an epgram on Frederick the
Third, King of Prussia, by VOLTAIRE."

WAR IN THE MARQUEsAs IsLAsDs.-We have
news from Fatuhiva, Marquesas Islands, to the
l4th July. We copy the following letter from
the Hawaiian Friend, written to the Rev. Mr..
Damon, Of Honolulu:
"Quite change has taken place in the state
Of affairs here since wrote to you last. From
dancing and feasting, the natives have turned
to war and murder. On the 18th of March
shortly after daylight, a cry was raised that a
party of fishermen were cut off by the people Of
Hanavaye. After considerable inquiry, / as
certained that the fishing party consisted of five
persons; two were killed, the rest escaped
"March l5.-I have been told the bodies Of
the two men who were cut off the other day
have been eaten by the people of Hanayaye
The people here are greatly enraged; they
started Oft this morning to challenge tine Hana-
vaveans. War is again declared, and there is
no knowing when it will cease,
"June 2S.-This morning the natives had an
engagement with the people Of Hanavave, and
killed two men. The bodies of the slain were
cut up on the battle field, and proportioned out
among the victors. was told that some were
80 eager to glut their vengeance, that they cut
slices from the bodies and ate them raw As
soon as the report of the victory was brought
to the valley, the women dressed themselves ir
their best attire, and ran about the village
crying out with savage exultation, "A human
victim p a human Yctimn
"June 29.--The natives feasted upon ths
bodies Of the two men that we're killed yester-
day. The relatives of the fishermen who were
cut off in March last, devoured their portion
raw; the rest of the people preferred having
theirs roasted. This is the prospect with vi
at present. 1t is truly dark one.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10. - Senate ---Mr. Clay.
ton presented memorials praying for indemnity
for French spoliations prior to 1900. He pro
posed Only to say now, that he should call az
the subject and address the Senate on it.
The Presidents veto message was received
last session 30 late as to render it impossible fol-
him to discuss it fully.
He believed the single idea upon which the
whole Of the message was predicated was ar
error of fact
It proceeded on the ground that claimants
were paid under the treaty of Louisiana, 1903
but the records in the State Department show
not the fact He would discuss the subject fully
at future day.
Messrs. Brodhead and Crittenden presented
memorials from naval officers, complaining Of
the action Of the Naval Retiring Board.
Mr.. Jones (Tenn.) submitted a resolution
calling on the Secretary Of the Navy for the
proceedings Of that Board, and for the evidence
on which they acted.
Mr.. Clayton thought the subject should moi
be discussed in open session, and after further
debate the resolution was laid over and the
Senate went into executive session.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,. .---Mr. ThoriDg-
ton withdrew his resolution, providing for the
election Of Speaker by plurality, as members
desire further vote viua uoce, but said he
would renew the proposition to-day or to-mor-
row.
Mr.. Campbell, Of Ohio, said there were some
things mentioned in the discussion yesterday
which might create disposition, on his part,
to reply particularly to Mr.. Humphrey Mar
shall, who would read out of the American or
ganization every member of this body who has
not come here with paddock on his tongue.
This discussion he rgarded as premature, but
he was willing to meet the gentleman, agreeing
with him, as he did, on the material points Of
Americanism, on the one hand, and the unbro-
ken phalanx of the advocates Of the Nebraska
bill on the other y-...
He desired to throw no obstacle in the way Of
an organization, and hoped the Clerk would
proceed to call the roll
