NOME CULT REsERvATloN.--The Indian Reser-
walton of this name, says the Beacon, is situated
about seventy-tive miles west of the town of Te-
hama in the forks of what is known as Eel Riv-
er, on the west slope of the coast range of
mountains. Mr.. Farr who resides on the Res
ervation, informs us that there is near four
thousand Indians collected that they have sown
five hundred acres of wheat and there are three
hundred head of stock on the premises.
The valley in which the Reserve is located is
seven miles long by three in width, and the soil
is very productive aud water abundant. From
this valley there is good trail to Weavervile
and wagon road 10 SonOma Although the
elevation is considerably above that of the Sac
ramento valley, the climate is mild and genial
1t is the opinion of our informant, that gold
might he found in considerable quantities at O
short distance north Of the Reservation. Mr..
5. ?. Storms has the principal charge of the sta
tion, and although it has been in operation less
than year, the major portion of the Indians in
the vicinity have been induced to come in and
the prospects are that they will be provided for
by the coming winter.

SCHOOL READINe.- We find the following in
an Eastern paper. 1t will bring the remem-
brance of school boy days to many of our read
ers. The widow and her Son. is from Irv-
ing's Sketch Books
AT the late New England dinner, in New
York, Arthur Gilman ESQ., of Boston, was call
ed upon to respond to the Common Schools OF
New England, which he did in q very felicitous
manner. In giving some account OF his own
experience in one of those common schools, he
said -
1T was 'our custom always, of an afternoon
sir, as you are doubtless well aware, to prac-
tice the higher classes in reading in those books
of elegant extracts from the best standing liter
ature of the language. The book in use, in my
own school, and for the compiling of which, |
can never be sufficiently grateful to the now
venerable DR.. Pierpont-was the American first
class book, and from which got my first ac-
quaintauce with the very cream of the best lite
nature OF the English tongue. And here, too,
sir, in those fascinating pages, when used to
devour with all my eyes, and 10y no means con-
fined in this exercise to the limits Of the regular
reading hour; here, too, side by side, with the
execution of Fergus McIvor from Waverly, and
the drowning of Morris the Highland pedlar in
the loch by the wife OF Rob Roy side by side
with the bargain of Moses for the green specta-
Giles from the Vicar of Wakefield, side by side
with the address to the Spangled Heavens from
the Spectator-were some other papers, I'm
preston OF voyage at Sea, The Wife and the
tale of the Widows Son. .t4
The last named story was one, which, as
boy, could never read aloud in the class.
could not swallow my tears, and | was afraid to
speak, lest they should burst forth unDdden.
Well do | remember how, at the passage where
the loose gravel ratified down on the coffin lid
and the intirm old mother made an Involuntary
movement forward to avert the spade of the
seXton-l forbore TO take up the sentence in my
turn The next boy, hard, unwinking, red
headed lad, caught at it, however. and bawled
it out at the top of his voice. He went above
me in the class; but | always secretly dislked
him from that moment--and | was not surpris-
ed to hear that after figuring successively as
horse jockey, broker, politician and flli-
busterer, he terminated his active but unenva-
bic career last summer, by cholera, on the 18th
mus of Panama"

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.-A correspondent wri-
ting from Amer can Valley, Pumas county, un-
der the date of May 4th, says the Butte Record,
furnishes the following account of bloody ira
gedy which recently occurred some ten miles
below the Valley, between couple of sporting
gentlemen, named NJ d. Alexander and John
Young. The latter was very abusive, and AL
cxander told him he did not wish TO kill him,
when Young drew pistol. Alexander caught
the pistol, and drawing a knife cut Young un-
til he fell. Alexander then attempted to make
bis escape out OF the room, and in doing so re
ceved a shot from some one of the party, which
it was supposed would prove fatal, from the
amount of blood that was seen the next morn
ing. He was tracked by bis blood for about
half mile. when he stopped and dressed his
wound by tearing his shirt to pieces. 1t is sup
posed he has persisted in the snow.

CRNoINE-Of late we have had many inqni-
ries into the derivation and Specification of this
fashionable term-many considering it signifi-
cant of amplitudinosity. The term is French
adaptation from Latin word, and means sim
ply fabrication Of hair, of which the skirts are
made. 1t comes from the word crn,s, which
means the hair of the head Grin is the French
term for borse-hair in its various fabrications,
from coverings for furniture and ornaments, 10
ladies' skirts From GRIN we doubtless have
crtnota and cTnoIine, signifying a fabric woven
from hair, being more dainty and aerial arti-
Gle than common hair cloth or cilice The final
termination. line. was doubtless given TO denote
the sex of the article, inasmuch as many female
names end similarly.

John Franklin. Lady Franklin has determined
to fit ont one from her own private means. de-
voting the remains Of her fortune to final at

admiration; whatever may be said Of the wis
dom of the measure.

AGoxIzTNG SCENE AT FIRE.-A terrible fire
had just taken place in Aldgate, London. on the
premises Of victualer The discovery was
made by police-constable No. 648 of the City
force. by seeing smoke pouring through the ap-
pertures of the bar shutters. The constable,
without delay, sounded the alarm, and sent off
for the Royal Socety's escape. AfterIsome
trouble the whole Of the inmates, consisting of
the laudlady, her son aud daughter, Mary Hol-
man, the barmaid and Jos. Rippon, the barman,
were made sensible of their impending danger
VIII en- they made an attempt TO descend the
staircase, but upon reaching the second floor
landing they were met by such powerful bodies
OF smoke as to PROSTATE the landlady, and be-
ing female weighing nearly seventeen stone,
her family were unable to lift her. The other
occupants were enabled to gain the second floor
where they commenced screaming most pite0us-
ly, and at the same time the vats of spirits kept
exploding, making noise like the discharge Of
firearms. At this coujuncture, George Harms
gate arrived with the Adgate escape; aud hay-
ing placed the machine, be ascended it, and sue
ceedcd in bringing down in safety the son and
daughter Of the landlady, Mary Holman, the
barmaid, and Joseph Rippon the barman. The
conductor was then informed that the proprie-
tress lay insensbe upon the landing, and would
no doubt, be quickly suifocated. The man,
with the greatest coolness imaginable, again
mounted the escape, and entered by the second
floor window, at which time the smoke was is
suing half way across the street. The conduct
or was called by the crowd below to come down
but, regardless Of losing his own life, be crawl
cd along the flooring, when he managed to
reach the andlady, who was perfectly insensible
Having raised ber on his back he carrie her
through the dense masses of smoke and placed
her on the bagging Of the escape. Owing TO her
being so stout, he was forced to push her down
to the ground. the conductor was most enthusi-
astically applauded by the crowd below.

THE DRIED SCOTT CASE.

According to promise, we give the opinion
of the pro-slavery majority of the Court, de-
liyered by Chief Justice TANYE. We will ad-
wise our readers to keep cool. Provoking as
the opinion of Justice TANEY is, it will be
found that it is not impregnablo. The opin-
ions of Judge MCLEAN and Judge CuRTIs
cut off every leg of it--aye, and knock its
brains out. The minority have answered the
majority thoroughly, We shall publish these
opinions in convenient sections and as it
will require several weeks to do it, we ask
the patience Of our readers. The subject is
of sufficient Importance to require full rec
ord for the examination of every freeman.

~ The recent decision in the bred Scott
case makes it matter Of interest to examine
the antecedents Of the Judges of the Supreme
Court. On the 29th of May, 1888, William
j. Duane, Of Philadelphia, was appointed
Secretary Of the Treasury, and ordered by
General Jackson TO remove the deposites from
the Bank of the United States. This he re-
fused to do from conscientious scruplos, and
resigned. On tho 23d Of September, four
months after Mr. Duauo's appointment, Rog-
or b. fancy was appointed with a view to the
removal Of the deposits, and he did IT, Three
years afterwards, in 1885, he was appointed
by Gen. Jackson to the first vacancy which
occurred on the Supreme Bench. OF the 9th
er Judges, Mclean also was appointed BY
Jackson; Catron and Daniel by Van Buren,
Nelson by Tyler; Grier by Polk Curtis by
Fillmore and Campbell by Pierce.
