CoUSrERFElTlSu.--The Cleveland Herald

leiting
We can hardly take up an exchange with
out reading IN Il Accounta Of the arrest OF
oountorieiters. Fractional notes Of the nh

offenders. Notwithstanding the vigilance of
the officers, and the numerous arrests, this
class OF counlerfciting seems TO be signally
suocesslul, judging from The amount Of spuri-
Gus postal currency IN circulation Ifyou re-
ceivo few shillings 10 change on the street
railway, ut the box Office, or in the store, ten
chances to ono there is counterfeit hly or
ten-cent note among them. So common are
these that people are beginning to get used
to them. The discovery hardly calls mp a
pang of regret, for the possessor feels conf

For the WORLD.
CHILDHOOD IN DEATH

To me, few things appear more beautifu
than young child in its shrOud. The limo.
cent face looks SO sublimely simple and con-
fding among the cold terrors of death
Crimeless and fearless, that little mortal has
passed under the shadow, and explored the
mysteries of dissolution. There is death in
its sublimest and purest image,-no hatred,
no hypocrisy, no suspicion, no care for the
morrow ever darkened that little face. Death
has come lovingly upon it. There is nothing
harsh in its victory. The yearningS of love
cannot be stilled, though the. prattle and
smiles, and all the little world of thought
that were so delightful, are gone forever.
Awe, toe, will overcast us in its presence, for
we are looking on death; but we do not fear
the lonely voyager,-for the child has gone,
simple and trusting, in the presence of its all
wise Father; and of such, We know, is the
Kingdom of Heaven. MARY.

THE YUBA RECORDS.

We find the following in the Idaho States
man, marked Idaho World please copy:
EDITOR STATESMAN: saw from a number
of the Idaho World of the 18th inst, that
inquiry had been made for the Recorder and
records of Yuba district, Altnras county.
am the Deputy Recorder of said district, and
have had the records in my possession since
November last. The records were brought
to this city for the reason that there was nc
responsible person with which they could be
left with safety Very few Ainers expected
ito winter in the district, from the fact that
operations had ceased, and the snow at the
time of our departure was not less than one
foot deep. A meeting of the miners was
called, and all the claims laid over which had
been recorded, until the first day of June
then to be represented. It is far better that
tina miners who succeed in getting in too
early for working or prospecting should be
put to some inconvenience by waiting few
weeks, than for all the old miners to have
remained at very heavy expense during the
Winter. 1t is we'll known fact to all who
have any knowledge of that camp, that moth
ing can be done at mining dusing the winter
months. 1t appears from the action of the
meeting that was held on the I'd March, that
all motions made conflicting with the regular
mining laws were voted down. Of course all
miners who had claims located, recorded and
laid over, would vote against any outsiders
who wish to interfere with the laws, of the
district. | hope men may not be so impru-
dent as to undertake to deprive others of
their just rights by force, as it would no
doubt be, attended by the most fatal conse-
qpences, which all good miners would gladly
avoid. There are hundreds Of miners who
are waiting to go to Yuba district as soon as
it is prudent to work ca their claims, FROM
the most reliable information we can obtain,
the snow is yet from four to FIVE feet deep
AS soon as Winter subsidies sufficiently tol
resume mining operations, | will proceed
thither with the records. Hoping that right
and justice may govern all, and that peace
and friendship may still be the rule, I'remain
yours, M1cH'L MCSfAHoS, Dep'y Rec'dr.
