HIRAM. The Milwaukee News says
prominent and reliable citizen of Wisconsin
was told by General Sherman that General
Grants real name was Hiram S. Grant. and
not Ulysses, and. that the name was ac-
quired by Grant through the Member of
Congress who handed 10 the name of Grant
to the Secretary of War, for admission to the
Military Academy. Failing to have it cor
rected, the young hero fanked the difficulty
by assuming the name, and in maturer years
earned the right to bear it forever.

turned to recrossed the South Fork. In the
attempt the wagon was capsized, its contents
of valuable dry goods escaped from the wa

Samuel, by the turbulent stream, to that
bourne whence nothing returns that cannot
locomote up stream of its own accord. If
those goods could return to Sam. they would
do it, doubtless. But they returned not, nor

Samuel became demoralized in the turbid

his goods, but George captured him, shook
him up well, and admonished him to hang on
to the wagon. Samuel obeyed and was ex-
tricated, though minus some two hundred
dollars in coin which he had deposited in his
pocket as life preserver. Low water will
probably reveal a rich pocket, or thecontents
of one, in that stream. Samuel ceased to be
travelling merchant. He sold the horses and

indicate anything like extraordinary rich

=" You are pretty fellow, riding with a

again" They then turned to Mrs. Holmes
and inquired of her if she had any money or
valuables. She replied, No" well"
one of them answered, 1--WE are gentlemen

EIGHT Hour LABOR SYsrEN.-Laborers
throughout the land are agitatng the ques-
tion of making eight hours legal days
work instead Of ten, as now. We have had
some experience in the employment of men
BY the day. and thereby have become con-
yinced that laborers will do as much work in
eight hours as in ten, and do it better and
more cheerfully. On that ground alone the
movement should be success. But there is
another and better reason. By thus linn
iting the days work. the laborer has time to
make his own home comfortable with his
own hands. He has time to read. He has
time to attend an egening school. He has
time to make himself man instead of ma.
chine Again, the employer loses nothing
by the change, for with him rests the max.
ing of the price for days work, and everv-
BODY knows that will be made in accordance
with the benefits derived from the labor to
be naid for, whether it he done in dav of
eight hours or of ten For the sake Of con-
sistencv, the Government should at once
comply with the demand Now. while ex-
,ctinc ten hours of hard labor from the me-
chanic, six only is exacted from the clerk.

SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 9, 1865.

LOWER SPRINGS UNION Co.-Mr. Kelly,
superintendent, is working hard to get his
mill and machinery in operation. The en-
gine will be running by the middle of next
week; the mill in about two weeks. For
want Of the engine for pumping purposes,
work in the deep shaft has been abandoned
and new one started, which is down about
ten feet. AT the bottom of this last shaft.
Kelly scraped up pan of fine quartz and
washed it out, without any further process OF
crushing than that to which it had been sub
jected in the working of the shaft. The re-
suit was very discouraging. Kelly should
have crushed it fine and used quicksilver. In
that case he might have got something worth
reporting. As it was. he only got four dol
lars. Results obtained in thi. careless man
ner 90 forth to the world gaining the same
credence as those carefully obtained by assay.
and it is Just this careless manner Of doing
things which throws discredit upon our quartz
mines, and gives crcakers the ascendency
with their cries of played OUT Of couree
we have no right to quarrel with Mr.. Kelly
about the manner in which he prospects his
lode. 1t belongs to the Union Company, and
they have the right to employ whom they
please to superintend their business, and IT
they are satisfied to go on and spend their
money, with such prospects, so obtained, 1t
is all right. 1t looks ciscouraging, though.
and we rather feel to join those who lack
confidence in the future of Shasta, cut our
moorings and go adrift. Such prospect,
after all we have said about the superiority
of our mines, is truly mortifying. Land of
sage brush. horned toads, alkali water, ta-
rantulas. scorpions and copperbeads where
quartz mining is good thing, how far is it
to YOUR blessed boundaries? Write soon.
