OF winch are seen in the slide, lying above

STRANGE ASoMALy.-The s.Prairie Bard,
whose poetical effusions in the Marysville
papers, sometime ago, attracted considerable
attention, was member of the chain-gang
in that place, and is now serving in SINH
lar institution at Sacramento. He processes
to be unable to resist an innate thieying pro-
clivity, according to the Marysville Democrat
which reports the above strange fact, and it
seems impossible to reform him. The poor
fellow really exhibited some poetical genius,
and his case is almost singular one.

A DISTINGUISHED CHlyAMAN.-The Telegram
says that Sup Sen, who was born in Canton,
China, in 1893, died a few days ago in a
Chinese washing and ironing saloon at San
Francisco. Sup Sen had seen the world
He was servant to Napoleon on the rock OF
St. Helena; he saw him often during his last
illness, and followed the funeral cortege to
the heros tomb. Sup Sen, after this, was
an "American" sailor for eighteen years.
He married ''Marget Hensen," near Charles
town, S. c., by whom he had three sons. all
of whom are still living. The gold fever en-
ticed him here. lie cultivated his cue, put
on his ancestral garments, and mingled with
the hosts Of his countrymen who flourish at
the Bay. He was respected by Americans
and Chinese alike. His body will be taken
to his native land, where every good China
man wishes his ashes to rest.

REMIN1scENcE.-On the ground now en-
closed as garden by Mr.. John Hill formerly
stood log cabin, which is said to have been
built eight or nine years ago, and was once
occupied as a store. Near it a miner buried
several thousand dollars worth Of gold dust
and then started off on prospecting tour
When he returned at the end of two years he
found the ground enclosed, and could not
readily identify the spot where lay his con-
cealed treasure. Telling the occupants of
the cabin his purpose he proceeded to dig.
and found the precious deposit within three
or four inches ola post hole. The earth was
the miners safe in those days, needing no
key but shovel and good memory to un-
lock it, though sometimes the latter failed
utterly, and hard-earned thousands were
thus often lost forever. Hence even now.
occasionally, discoveries of buried treasure
are made, some old oyster can or bottle
turning up to the greater joy than astonish-
ment Of unthinking, needy delivers in the
ground.

Auraria is a place of some four hundred

habitants. A correspondent Of the No. Re
publican says, that out of the thousand or
twelve hundred men in the country, he does
not think more than fifty are at work mining
The weather is too cold for some, and the
most of them are engaged building houses
in the various town sites. There had been
an arrival of two hundred Mexicans. The
gamblers are very numerous, and get most of
the gold in their possession.

A LATE number Of Harper's Weekly con-
tains fac simile of Mrs. Sfckles' autograph
confession! The more Objectionable por-
tions are represented by asterisks. This
shows that the public sentiment grows by
what it feeds on, since the autograph would
not have been engraved had not previous IL
lustrations of the "tragedy,' as they call it,
been eagerly purchased.
For publishing this same confession, the
S. F. Bulletin has been spitefully prosecuted
under the 'sobscene publication" act; and
other California papers which published it
are making apologies therefor.

HORnICuI.TuRAI.

There are many pretty gardens in this vi
cinity, besides those described in the last
number of the PRESS. A glance at the few
most noticeable ones may not prove uninter-
esting.
The garden of Mr. Winham on San Fran
cisco street, is remarkable for a splendid
plot of American red and white clover
This grows thick, tall, and luxuriant, with
a larger leaf than in the Eastern States, and
fourishes the year round. The soil upon
which it thrives so well, is red alluvium.
If cultivated for hay, it would doubtless af-
ford three crops a year. Mr.. Winham has
on his half acre, an assortment of fruit trees
vines and Towering shrubs, and his elegant
cottage nestles under the low hanging foli-
age of an oak. Here let US protest against
that ruthless destruction of young and old
oaks, as well as pines, which is going on
around our village. They cannot be re-
placed, and in few years their loss will be
severely felt and regretted. Do not strip the
earth about our homes aud leave it naked to
the glare of summer. Go little further off
for what timber is needed, and even then
spare the young trees.
Further along the street we are now on,
the garden of Mr.. G. Welton may be observed
for the amoant Of tasteful and economical
culture it exhibits Il is but small enclos-
ure of about three-fourthS Of an acre, yet is
stuffed full of good things: peach, apple.
plum, cherry and pear trees, several hundred
currants, rose bushes, and more than a hun
dred different kinds of Towering shrubs.-
This beautiful little spot is an eloquent lee
ture in favor Of matrimony and horticulture.
Adjoining it On either side are the younger
gardens of Messrs. Franchere, Manchester,
Littlefeld, Eichelroth, and others, which are
planted with judicous variety of fruit
trees, vines bushes and esculent vegetables,
and will, in a year more, present an attractive
appearance. Two years of cultivation suf-
fee to make almost any spot lovely among
these pine hills, and it is strange that so many
will still deny themselves the happiness of
gazing upon an oasis of their own production
at their own doors. We are glad to notice
that nearly every private garden about town,
contains several hundred strawberry plants.
The strawberry is one of the most delicious,
as it is the costliest of fruits in this State,
and il is pleasant to know that it will here
after be plentiful and cheap.
The little enclosure of Mr.. Charles Myers,
is convincing proof that bachelor hearts
are not insensible to natural charms, wheth-

Love dartlug and treSseS like the morn
or in the more quiet loveliness of grass,
flowers, and cabbages! In front Of Mr..
Myers pretty house, now tenanted by the
family of DR.. Webber, is a splendid growth
of alfalfa The soil upon which it was sown,
something more than year ago, is the same
red alluvium above mentioned, and which
constitutes the whole of San Juan hill. Into
this the roots have penetrated from two to
four feet No wonder alfalfa is such a
hardy plant, living through our long dry
summers, and yielding two or three crops to
the scythe.
On Main street, L. H. Bickford has a ver-
dant spot in front of his cottage, where he
set out the first apple trees and rose bushes
ever planted in this community. This is no
mean distinction. Thousands Of men will
go to their graves, without having done as
much as that to entitle themselves to re-
membrance. Mr.. Bickfords place is not
much bigger than a large flower pot, but it
is crowded with bearing fruit trees, with
rose bushes that Chamber over his house. and
with eastern grass and clover knee deep
1t is to be regretted that every family resi-
dence is not surrounded by clover, alfalfa,
or grass plot. This alone, without tree,
bush, or flower, would make cool and pleas
ant many a door yard which is now hot and
dusty.
But these gossipping strolls have gone far
enough for the patience of our readers,
though we have not mentioned number OF
green and blooming corners, where the way
farer delights to pause and gaze. The theme
is a pleasant one. Thirty or forty small
gardens are not in themselves anything to
boast about; but when one considers that
only three years ago they were not in exis-
tence, and that they indicate the bursting Of
a community from the bonds of materialsm
then, they constitute fact of much in
terest and significance. No pioneer Califor-
nian, who once looked upon the mining re-
gions as arid. barren and Improbable, car
gaze upon these blooming refutations Of such
an erroneous opinion without experiencing
the keenest pleasure, and indulging in the
most sanguine hopes. And no person, who
has proper sense of the true interests o.
the State with any desire to see them pro.
NOTED, can view these indications of grow
| ing home sentiment yet feel Indifferent te
them, or deem them unimportant.

Judge Searls having been called to Downie-
villeto preside in some cases in which Judge
Van Clief was dsqua flied, the District Court
adjourned on Thursday, until Monday, May
30th.
The same journal remarks upon the ne

business men of the county with reference
to deprecated foreign coins. On Wednesday
and Thursday of last week several thousand
dollars of these were received at Nevada and
sent off to other parts of the county.
Ah Coon, Chinaman, killed one of his
countrymen called Bill, by stabbing him in
the abdomen, because Bill did not pay him a
debt of ten dollars. All Coon was arrested
by citizen and is now in prison.

foreman of the Young America diggings,
