SUSPENSION FLUME AT MURPHY s.-Onc of the
most supuro pieces Of useful mechanism ever
constructed in the State. is the suspension ahme
spannIng Marphy's creek, just below the Flum-
ing Company works, and within a good view
Of the tOwa. The cOatract is just completed,
and on Wednesday the first water made it's
srial voyage to the heights of Central Hill.
The hnme is b lit on the Penstock or water
tight.box principle, and is held up with two wire
suspension cables. IL inch in diameter, and
1000 feet long; with two guy cables to support
the towers, over which the cables are sprung.
The northern tower is "a feet high-the south
ern ia feet; from tower to tower the distance
is 740 feet; the cables are firmly anchored at
the ends. in the bedrock, sufficiently secure
to hold twice as much as the necessary force.
From the fume down (perpendicularly) to the
bed Of the creak, it Is 29O feet; the entire length
of the hume is 1900 feet; the box will carry so
inches water, forced by Is foot heading; sag

INTERESTING TO SPORTING MES.-An interest
ing suit, in which the sporting men Of the COM
muniiy, says the State Journal should be inter-
ested. came off in the District Court Sacramen-
to. Oh Monday last. William A. Hopkins sued
Samuel Russell, to recover the sum OF five hum
dred dollars, which had been put up on a horse
race, in the following manner: Each of the
parties owning fast nag, concluded to get up
race, not to test the fieetness Of their respec-
tive'horses, but for the purpose of winning mo-
ney. They were to put up FIVE hundred dollars
side. Russell's horse was to beat Hopkins
aud Russell was TO return Hopkins his stake
The race came off according to agreement. and
the stakeholder not being posted about the
secret understanding between the owners Of the
horses. paid over the stakes to Russell. Hopkins
shortly after applied to Russell for bis money,
which Russell refused to return, saying that he
had won it. and intended to keep it. Hopkins
brought suit to recover. Judge Bolts charged
the jury that if. in their opinion, the bet was
made for the purpose of committing fraud up
on the public, the plaintiff could not recover.
The jury returned verdict for the defendant.
The District Attorney of Sacramento should
have investigated the whole matter, and prose-
cuted them for swindling if there was any truth
whatever in the criminal charge alleged against
them.

FrRorE--I ho Fnronean news nuhlished In

EURoPE--Ihe European news, published in
the New York Herald, of Oct. % is important.
The monetary crisis had been severely felt in
Paris aud Vienna, and has also extended to
Berlin and Holland The rate of interest for
money at these points had been raised Numer-
GUS and large defalcations are reported.
Accounts from Spain announce the accept
ance of the resignation of the Navarez ministry.
Gen. Mirasol is spoken Of as the successor Of
Gen. Concha, as Captain-eeneral Of Cuba.
More troops were held in readiness for India.
and 10 600 additional militia were to be embo-
died into the army.
The India advices, received at Paris, are
more gloomy than the English letters assert.
They state that the rebels were under European
generalship; that operations had been commenc-
cd to prevent the union of the British forces:
that the army may expect five years Of fighting,
aud that the native troops are not TO be trusted
anywhere.
The bank of England has loaned the East
India COmhany million pounds sterling on
the security of Indis bonds.
The following is short synopsis of financial
affairs in Europe:
The American crisis was severely felt in Paris
owing TO the delay in remittances. Money was
in great demand and the prospect was that the
bank of France would have to rcscnd its recent
luedsuTcs vi relaNatioh, II not raise Tue rAtes Vi
discount.
Two spectators on the Bourse had disap-
peared leaving deficits Of 100000 and $780,
600 francs respectively.
The financial pressure was still very severe
in England. A stock exchange jOber bad blown
his brains out another had disappeared leavng
deficiencies TO the extent of e25.000, and nu-
mcrous small failures had occurred.
The bank Of Prussia has again raised its rate
of discount which now stands at 1-2 per cent
The bank of Holland has raised its rates Of
discount TO 8 l-2 per cent.
The financial condition Of the country does
not improve. Paper money has fallen in value
to the extent of twenty per cent

MACHINE To SEPARATE Coin FROM PTRTTEs.-
DR.. James n. Hill, of Angels Camp, writes to
the Union Democrat, (Sonora,) the following de-
scription of u machine recently invented by
him, to act as S'gold-saver and concentrator Of
sulphurets:'
The machine is simply box feet long
foot wide. foot high ia front aud Is inches in
the back; within mhccs of the bottom Of which
is placed perforated plate Uf about ohc kun
dred a.,d twenly-iOur n0les TO the superlc al
i'F;a. Beneath this plate is al opening I of an
incn. running the cntre length VI The boz; over
the back inclndug this opening, is fitted false
back ia the form OF the letter A, minus the top;
with an Intervening space between it aed the
true back of from u to inches. luio this
space is introduced pipe, or hose, which must
communicate with supply of water above,
with sufficient pressure 10 pass through the
opening. thence through the CRATE, forming as
il were. boiling spring. The gold aud reduc-
cd matter passes directly from the stamps into
the box aud is there met Ivy the ascending wa
ter, which depriyes it of the former by carrying
it to the CRATE whilst it ELECTS the latter il be-
ing too light TO contend against the upward
current
The advantages of this Invention are: lst-
should mill crush 100 tons per day the pro.
ducts can be takin out at night, the contents OF
the box, independent of the analgam, not ex-
ccedlng the ! OF pan. 2d-It requires no
attention, except for tie einptying Of sulphurcts
which are caught in SUCCESSION of pans, so
placed upon series Of steps that one may
empty into the other, with sufficient grade for
the light matter to pass of. 3I.--It is prefcra-
bic TO all other modes. from the fact that it il
not inconvenienced by cold weather. Lastly
(and the most important consideration. )no gold
can possibly escape it. 1t is well To add that
use mercury uldcr my stamps and none in the
box.

MEETING OF THE EMPERoRs-I is o trite say
ing, says the New York News that history is
continually repeating itself. 1t is just half q
century since the peace of Tisit. which was
marked by the conferences of the Great Napo-
leon and the Gar Alexander J. The principal
figures in the worlds drama then, were these
two Emperors meeting on a raft in the midst
of the .Elbc, attended by their satellites Of in
ferior kings, dukes and potentates. Now the
nephews of the principal actors of that scene
meet at Stntgardt-drcked with the imperial
crowns of France and Russia The meeting ut
Stntgardt took place on the anniversary of that
of Erfnrt. fifty Y arg ago-and there arc those
living who remember the impression made by
the desc iption of that remarkable scene, when
all Europe seemed abont to be partiioned be-
twccr Napoleon and Alexander and their aux
iliary and dependent kings. In the height Of
his ambition Napoleon wrote TO Talma the mem
orablc vitaton and its snecr ut royalty
Come to Erfurt, you shall play before pit
full Of kings"
During this interval of fifty years, civilization
has done wonders. and the meeting Of the
ncphews does not absorb the attention Of man
kind as did that Of their uncles. The majesty
Of the steamship the locomotive and the tele-
graph. has dwarfed the majesty Of Emper0rs.
and Stutgardt is commonplace beside Erfurt.
A Man SHOT FoR A DEAR.-On the Sd OF No
vember, two persons named John Mathews and
WootsOn Tucker left Rouge River Valley to-
gether, for the mountains, to set a steel trap for
the purpose Of trying to catch bear. After a
time the two separated, one going to the right,
the other to the left BY some means Tucker
got on the opposite side of Mathews. When the
latter was crossing the fiat be discovered some
thing some stance of. and when he got within
a hundred and fifty yards of it he thought il was
bear. lie saw it move. and feeling coIf-
dent it was a bear, he fired Unhappily, the
object he took for bruIn was Tucker his com
panion. The ball entered fuckers right side,
AID caused ath in about ten hours afterwards.
1t appeared that Tucker had killed deer and
was stopping down making hook to drag the
carcass to the bear-trap. lie was dressed in
dark cOlored clothes, aud was close to a bulch
of brush that stood between him and Mathews
and prevented the latter from discovering his
mistake until he shot. Before his DEATH Tuck
er exonerated Mathews of all blame. A card is
published in the Jacksonville 20. IT, Sentinel,
signed by a number of residents Of Rogue River
Valley. in which they express their belief that
Tucker was accidentally shot. aud relate the
circumstances of the affair substantially as
above stated.

Rev. Mr.. Edmonds has issued the sixth num-

promulgates the doctrine of Universal Saliva
