A ScRTPTuRAL MoTro.-Down at st. Gcnevicvc,
is an old stone church, and built to last thou
sand years. The sculptor was directed to engrave
above the grand entrance this passage of scrip
ture: Ny house is the house of prayer He
did so; but having read the Evangclists to some
purpose he went steadily on with the chise and
grayer and completed the verse. Hardly had he
put period to his work, when it was discovered
by the architect who ordered him TO fiji up the
offending clause with cement. This done, the
beautiful inscription was read Of all men, My
house is the house Of prayer'-Lut as the years
went on, even like the writing on the wall with
an unseen hand, new words appeared one day.
and the passage ran: My house is the house Of

SEND TIE JOURNAL HOME.--We have large
subscription for papers to be sent East, and we
need not remind persons long separate from their
friends, how eagerly newspaper printed where
they work, is perused at home. 1t is looked all
over to zee if the lost ones name is to be found
among the living or dead; no matter how worth
less the paper may be, it is valued for having
come from where friend, brother or father lives.
We think the JOURNAL represents the intelli-
gcnee of Trinity creditably, and, therefore, make
the above suggestion with less hesitation.

Mr. Dungey took up few acres Of barren-looE-

ssiduously, and planted with trees. 1t is now

than ten thousand dollars. lie has nearly 200

of ofhimself, very big dog and a very pretty cat,
without which, so far as we know, there's none
to love him on the earth just now the little

Trinity, Rattesnake, South Fork and Forks of

WHAT THEY SAY OF IT.-Meetng an occasional
stranger from distant parts of the county, we are
glad to be told that our paper is read with pleas
ure and approval. We are yet unacquainted
with localities out Of sight Of Weaverville, and
therefore, cannot speak so intelligently of home
matters, as we hope to, by-and-bye. 1t is our
highest ambition in this life to make leading
mountain journal, and il we can succeed among
the educated critical and reading people found
all through the gold mines Of California, we
should not fail in any community whose language
we could write and understand. By the consid-
Grafton of the publisher, we have more time, per-
haps, to devote to the care Of his paper than any
other person similarly employed, and by the
kindness of the people we live among there is
encouragement to do the best we can.
For no vain-glOrious purpose, but to let the
home readers of the TRINITY JOURNAL know what
is thought of it in other places, we reprint the
underwrittcn kind remarks from the Napa Re

The very best paper published in this State,-
a few of those in the large cities excepted is the

don't know the editor from a side Of sole-eath

MINERS FUYERAI~--Con. McCaulif died on
Monday, from injuries by bank-cave al Sydney
Hill. Prominent in the funeral train were men
in grey Shirts members of the Order of Labor /;
some drawn closer to the grave by friendship,
some by the brotherhood of their fathers religion,
and many by the sympathy and respect which lay
down the implements of labor when dust is being
welded to dust in the wedding garment of the
shroud, and in the bridal chamber Of the grave.
II is hard to lie down in the lengthening shadows
of bleak hills, whose every tree and shrub and
moss grown rock is stranger to the country
where his life began but, in the little chapel,
close by. the same songs are sung, the same sol
emn words of truth are read and spoken, and the
bell rings the same admonition to prayer, as in
the grand old Cathedras where the moss Of cen
tures hangs on stones hsllowed by the benedc-
tons of good men long dead. The flake and
sunbeam fall as gently here, votive flowers bloom
as gaily and as pure as where the dew tears spar
klc on the shamrock leaf when Erns harp is
struck gently and mournfully by Shannon's side.

She scorned not the humble homes of Erin; she
looked on the peasants cot and made it sacred

the mountains of California, ana beguled the
