Again and.again, on every possible occasion,
he disavows with contempt and rdicule his
supposed aspirations for a second term of

lighter and less burdened hearts than we

The San Francisco National after having
battened ever since its existence upon the

PUBLIC LAND SALE-In compliance with
the Presidents Proclamation for the
the sale of lands in this District, the sale
commenced at the office at Humboldt, on
Monday, the 18th of Feb, and ended yes
terday All of the lands advertised, not hav-
ing been previously entered, were offered,
and the following aggregate of lands sold in
the several counties in the District;
Humboldt county, seventeen hundred and
forty five acres; Del Norte county, five hun
dred sixteen acres; Siskiyou county, three
thousand and eighty acres; Shasta county,
two hundred acres. and in Napa county,
twenty one hundred and eighty acress.
There was but little speculation in the
lands of any of the counties except Napa.-
Most of the lands sold there were purchased
by spectators, and principally by non resi-
dents. We are glad that people were not
disposed to speculate in the lands of our
county, for they will now be subject to pri-
vate entry, and will hold out greater induce
ments TO persons to settle in the county than
if large bodies of them were held in the
grasp of ruthless specuators.-Hmboldt

it made--and wish you would repubish
from my Jefferson City speech of 1910, the
passage in which took credit to myself for
that clause in the Constitution and depreca-
ted agitation. They ought to have told me
before election what they intended to do il
they had ! should have supported the ticket

The TORTURE AND EXECUTION OF FRENCH
BIsHor IN ToNQuIN.-The Hong Kong Regis
ter gives II horrible account Of the torture and
execution of Monsignor Melchoir on the 2sth
of July last, on the false charge that he had
been an instigator of insurrection. His two
servants were also executed.
"The two servants having been executed.
the eXecutioners stretched q mat on the
ground, placed a small carpet upon it, broke
the chain which was around the neck of his
Emiuence, and made him lie down on his
back upon the mating. The bishop wore at
this time nothing bnt pair of trousers turn
ed up to the thighs. The victim being thus
placed, the executoner took two stakes
which he fixed in the ground on each side OF
him. and to which his hands were tightly
bound by cords, causing great pain. Two
others were then placed under his armpits
and crossed over the chest of the bishop so a.
to press it tightly. Two other posts were
then set up at a short distance from his feet
The cords the feet were bound with were
passed round these posts and stretched VIC.
lently, the feet being then pegged down the
loins were similarly secured. 1t would be
difficult to conceive the tortures of the vene
rable prelate thus bound ard racked. An or
der was then issued first to cut off the feet
then the hands, afterwards the head of tn,
martyr, and lastly to eviscerate him. Al
this order five executioners commenced theii
frightful duty. They were armed with c
kind of bill-hook or Ratchet, purposely blum
ted in order TO inAict greater suffering. They
commenced by cutting off the legs above the
knees, each limb receiving about twelv,
blows before it was severed, The same pro-
cess was repeated with the arms. But TIE
power of speech now failod the harpy mar
tyr, who, so long as strength remained, l. ad
not ceased to call on the name of Jesus. His
head was then struck off, after repeated
blows and lastly his body was opened and
his entrails drawn out with hook. Bishop
Meehior's body was exposed for some davs
on the southern gate of Nandinh, and then
broken to pieces and thrown into the sea-"

CnNEsE.-Much difference of opinion may
exist In reference to the policy of prohibiting
Chinese immigration, but certainly there can
be none as to bringing those who settle in
our cities under stringent police regulation
They congregate in narrow alleys and in OBJ
scure streets and fairly riot in filth In their
native land, many of them lived on the wa
ter, and wherever they do live they are con-
stantly under surveillance. Without this
supervision, or differently situated, they are
regardless of cleanliness; and the heaps of
oifal which accumulate near, under and about
their habitations, and the horrible cffluvin
arising from these causes, would any in at
mosphere less heaven-blessed than San Fran
cisco, produce pestilence. Nevertheless, the
sanitary condition of our citizens cannot but
be unfavorably affected from this cause, and
we hope efficient measures may be taken in
the premises The most convincing evidence
can be obtained. by perambulating any of
