ALLEGED RICHES OF THE CARDISELL CLAIM,
TUoLUMXE CoUNTY.-The workers in the Cardi-
nell claim, near Tuttetown, having struck again
on a vein of rich paying quartz about a week or
two ago, have been taking out very rich ore the
past week. The claim is growing richer every
day, and the amount of rich god-bearing quartz
daily taken out is increasing to such an extent,
that the stories told seem fabulous. gentle
man who visited the claim few days since in
forms that he saw there -four sack full of
the rock, which was said to weigh four hundred
pounds. The yield on Thursday exceeded that
of any previous day We are told that at least
$4,000 worth of rock was taken cut that day.
1t is supposed that the yield Of the claim for the
entire week will amount to about $4,000.
Crowds are going from all parts to see it.-So-
nora Herald
The Union Democrat (of Sonora) goes even
further, and says that the last weeks yield is cs-
timated at 100000 This wonderful vein has
been found at the depth of fifty feet. At the
deepest point revealed, it is stated to be seven
feet wide and the gold is plainly to be seen from
side to side. The vein is an extension of the fa-
nous old Carson Hill lead, from which, al one
blast, somewhere about Sl50,00O was taken out

CRUELTY TO SqUAws.-The Trinity Journal
says it is not uncommon, in that county. for
white men to compel Indian women to live with
them. There are white men who, when they
cannot obtain a squaw by fair means, will not
hesitate to use foul. But little persuasion is too
often used in the matter, and to drag off the
squaw, and to knock down her friends if they
interfere, not uncommonIy occurs; and very Of
ten there have been instances where these wo-
men were obliged to leave the ranches and seek
safety in fight remaining in the mountains for
days together, to avoid the violence of men who.
under the influence ofliquor, will not hesitate
to do any deed. Every person who knows the
character of our Indians knows that above all
things they fear drunken man. Families of
Indians have been known to be driven from
their homes in the dead Of winter By crowds of
drunken men, and in the absence oflegal proof
nothing could be done for their protection.

JEALOUS MISTRESS EvE.-Adam used to 90 TO
Heaven in the evening TO pray. One time, Satan
made a friendly call at Adams residence, and
Eve not knowing where her husband had gone,
was a little pe.ulant and lonesome. Satan told
her that Adam had gone to Heaven to call on
another woman-he supposed it was all right
he was averse TO making mischief in families,
out, really the conduct of her husband was re-
marksble, III thus leaving so beautiful woman
alone. lie then took Eve to fountain and

band was in the habit of visiting. Adam came

The population of Noukahiva belong to that
great branch of the Mongoan race which is
called the Polynesian family. But nowhere else
have seen the type of man so beautiful and
when we consider that the food of this people is
almost exclusively vegetable, it is difficult to
understand how they can have gained their
muscular and well developed forms, of which
they are perfect models.
The man of Noukahiva is perfectly handsome
and well proportioned. He is, in my eyes, what
Adam our first parent may have been when he
came fresh from the hands of the Creator. In
beholding the Noukahican | can comprehend
the Greek deifcation of form. He presents the
beauty of the antique statuary. To these per-
fections of the body must be added the beauty
Of countenance and height of forehead. The
form of the nose and lips has, generally speak,
ing, nothing in common with the short and thick
features which might be expected The COM
plexion is sallow, nclinng more or less to fair.
The proud bearing of the Islanders compared
well with that of the European. They are gen.
orally naked and have little clothing save tri-
fie about the loins. But may we t truly con-
slider in the light of clothing the tattoong which
covers their bodies almost entirely? 1t is most
assuredly an ornament, and the people regard
the operation with the greatest soicitude and
care Ii is true art, exercised by pricking the
skin with fish-bone, and introducing the juice
Of certain kind of bark. 1t is done, besides,
only in parts, from time TO time according to
the age Of the individual There are only
certain number who do this tattooing, and great
sums are sometimes paid for the operation
The women of Noukahva are possibly less
remarkable than the men, although nature has
| been prodigal to them likewise They are gen.
orally fairer than the men, and much smaller
! and they have hands and feet to make Euro
pean lady die of envy. And what waistsl Cor
sets and crinoline have no part in forming them
but what delcacy in those forms They are in
deed the worthy priesesses of the god of pleas
ure, whom moreover they serve with the most
scrupulous fidelity. The bosom, among them,
becomes deformed only by small and slow de-
grecs. 1t is true that they dread maternity and
preserve themselves therefrom often by criminal
means. Their days are passed often in the most
| idle manner. What time is not conseerated to
pleasure, to the dance, to the bath, is aban-
doned TO sleep IL is time Joy t.~ftiis r-sirfT

other desired object. The women are less tat
| tooed than the men; ordinarily; not at all, ex-
| cept upon the feet and legs. the hands, fore
| arms, SUBMITS of the shoulders, and sometimes
| also upon the hips They have all beautiful
black hair glossy and periumed with odorous
