GIRAaD's ESTATE IN LITIGATION. A bill
has been filed in the United States Circuit
Court at Philadelphia. by parties who are
subjects of the French Emperor, for the
recovery Of ell the Grard estates, except
that which may be necessary for the main
4enance Of the college. The grounds on
which the recovery is based are: lst-
that the present City Of Philadelphia can
not legally execute the provisions Of Ste
Phen Girard's will and, second. that the
estate. by reason Of mismanagcmcnt, has
diminished in extent, referring to the loss
Of the Louisiana lands, and the non. pro.
ductiveness Of those in Kentucky.

A YOUNG MAN, rather verdant, and very
sentimental. while making himself inter-

by quoting from the poets, to the other
choice and rare extracts, he added:
"There's no place like home.''
"DO you really think so?" said the
young lady.
"Oh, yes!" was the reply.

New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1860-04-26
Later from pixies Peak.


The st. Louis Democrat publishes a letter Of the
18th inst from Denver City, from which we extract
the following:
The tide Of nat.eneers is rolling inupon US at the
rate of a hundred day, and full Us many are roll
ing out for the various sections of the mountain
mines. ALL now is life, hustle, travel and rush,
hopes and expectations. You insult aman here by
offering him big figure for daily labor he Is pre-
pairing to go to the mountains to be his own boss,
and expecting soon to be his own banker
Every day new rumors and reports Of rich dis.
coyeries arrive here, and hundreds are leaving
their claims in the old gulehes, where they are
doing WE'LL to clear out for other diggngs reported
to be heavy, no matter how far distant Or how
formidable the trip. This is bad plan. The
present emigration to the Tarryal Blue river and
Arkansas and Cherokee diggings eelipses all other
points.
In the quartz leads it is capital and machinery
and not naked hands that can protitably take out
the gold. Those who get even = color IN the
PAM can do better in guich bar and dry dgglngs,
than tinkering or tunneling with leads, however
rich and deep, unless they have the capital and
quartz mills to back them. 0 g
A good deal of excitement has taken place in
the selling and speculation of mining claims, during
the past week-at from $500 to $4,000 for fine, tried
gulch and quartz claims, partly cash and partly on
the shares when taken out. H
Scores and scores of new gulches and leads arr
weekly discovered. The weather in the mines i
fine, yet in many gnlches the show will net PERM
mining; and, viewing this matter and the higl
price Of living in the mines, We say that the money
less and machinerylessG emgrants need not b
breaking their necks TO get out here before the los
4 of May, at soonest. Some fellows in the noun
tains are now getting rich huyng and selling claims
4 We advise emigrants to assume pluck enough anf
grit enough, if nature denied it to them, TO trase
and hunt up claims themselves and thus s.aau
chance Of striking afoul of richer claim ln aa
any of those in the market. The MINERS now III IA
are doing well, those that work on their own ola
claims, and understand the business. a.. Il,
