ALL LOOK UPWARD. 1t is curious fact that
in any great emotion of the human heart the face
is turned to Heaven. When the soul is full of
JOY and gratitude, the eyes and hands are raised,
and sorrow, kneelng by the tomb of all life hap
piness, starts in a paroxysm of keencr anguish
and looks up through space for momentary relief.
The pilgrim who, in the vision of Bunyan, stop
ped to rest, saw brood of chickens drinking
from riyulet, each turning back heavenward as
though some instinct of Giver existed in the
unreasoning mind. Among men and women the
instinct Of safety points them to some mysterious
power beyond the clouds, and though they may
in prosperity, deny allegiance to an unseen ruler,
they will in the last, despairng hour, appeal by
suppicating gestures to the place where the the
ology of the nursery has located the habtation
OF Omnipotence.
SPEAK KINDLY TO THE LITTLE ONES We have
poor opinion Of the man whose hear: does not
beat quicker and warmer at the sounds of merri-
ment coming from The children's play ground
We dislike the hard -souled man of business who
would not stop to ask the whmpering, squalid
child of desertion and poverty why she cried
who would not recognize the school boys awk-
ward attempts at street civility. The happest
hours of our life were passed with half a dozen
little noisy torments, and the recollection Of each
trusting face is still distinct, as they came 10

WHIsKEYTowN MURDERs.---Two most fendish
murders committed upon two mining part
ners near WhiseytOwn, in this county, on Satur-
day evening last-One German, named Feldbuscb,
and an Italian, named Lewis. On Monday morn
ing the German was found dead in his cabin--his
head lying in the ashes Of the fireplace and his
feet near the door. An inquest was held in the
afternoon that day by Justice Shed. No clue
was obtained to solve the mystery OF the murder,
1t was generally remarked, however, that the
Italian pardner had not been seen since Saturday,
and the conviction rapidly fastened itself upon
the public mind that he was the murderer and
had fed, On Tuesday evening the public was
again startled with the information that the Ital-
ian had been found about half a mile from his
cabin, also murdered in most horrible manner.
Aninquest was held on his body on the following
day but like that on the body of Feldbusch, was
fruitless in its results. To those who have visited
the scene of the tragedy it is evident that both
were murdered carly Saturday evening before
they had made their evening meal When found,
the hands, feet and clothing of both were sOiled
with the labors Of Saturday. The absence of the
Italian from the cabin is accounted for by the
fact that he was found near the water guage from
which they obtained water with which to work
their claim. 1t is supposed that he was overtaken
and slain while on his way to close off the water
for the night. Ii was evident that several were
engaged in the preparation of the murder.
Blood in pools indicated that the German was
murdered some yards from the cabin, and stains
on the door sill showed that he had been after
wards dragged within. Several knife wounds
were found on his body-mOre than one of which
was mortal--and his skull was crushed by stroke
with an axe. The Italian was also horribly cut
with a knife, and one wound in the throat ap.
peared to have been inflicted with pistol Or gun.
his head was bruised with rocks Shasta RepuJ-
