HONOR To OUR WORK MEN.
Whom shall we call or heroes;
To whom our praises singp
Tho pampered child Of fortune;
The titled lord or klngY
They live by others labor
Take all and nothing give:
The noblest types of manhood
Are thoy who work to live,
Then honor 10 our workmen,
Our hardy sons of toll
The heroes OF the Workshop,
And monarchs of the soil.
Who spans the earth with iron,
And rears the palace domep
Who creates for the rich man
The comforts of his homer
IL IL the patient toileIs--
All honor TO him, theni
The true wealth of the nation
is In the working men.
For many barren ages
Earth hid her treasures deep:
And all her giant forces
Seemed bound as in a sleep;
Then labor's "anvil chorus"
Broke on the startled air,
And, 10 the earth in rapture,
Laid all her riches bare.
'Tis toll that over nature
Gives man his proud control:
And purihes andhallows
The temples Of his soul
1t scatters foul diseases
With all the ghastly train;
Puts iron in the MUSCLE
And crystal In the brain
The Grand, Almighty Builder,
Who fashioned out Of earth,
Hath stamped his seal of honor
On labor IRON her birth
In every angel flower,
That blossoms from the sod
Behold the master touches,
The handiwork of God
Then honor to our workmcn
Our hardy sons of toll
The heroes of the workshop,
And monarchs of the soil

Took a Ride.

On Tuesday Sub went cavorting through
the country. Crossed Reds ferry-a good
onH-and took look at Reid's fine farm-a
good thing too. Didn't Gnd Ned at home,
but did find him away off on the road, near
Loomis' stopped him and inquired the way
out of that neck of woods to Balls and Par
sons Received the necessary information,
and in the fullness of his gratitude " Sui"
placed a flask of ingenious contrivance (pro-
per;v of Ladd, borrowed for the occasion.
and filed with an exhilerating Huld) to
Ned's Ips. and bade him choke himself if lie
could After long effort he dcsisted, say
ing it was impossible, as there was evlde tly
leak somewhere, but at the same time
professed his willingness TO keep trying until
q SUBJ was satisfied. The contest stopped
there. for humanitarian reasons, and the two
parted.
Sub" got to Parsons-another good
thing.good wife, pretty babies, and oh !!
such lots of dogs. Won't the Assessor have
nice time counting them, though? Not
less than a hundred, though positive inior-
nation cannot be given. fof the reason that
they barked and jumped around so. There
is one that caught Sub on or about the
place he had just taken out of the saddle
He counted him. but can't take his 'davy as
to the balance. He suggests to the Assessor
that he wrap himsefin armor ere he alights.
Talked horse to Parsons and WASH suited.
Returned by Balls ferry-a good thing too
and what a nice home Hank has got and
orchard too everything looking like a New
England farm in its appointments, and like
California one in the richness Of its devel.
opments. Passed up through that grand farm
of Mrs. Mulen's. Can't tell how big !;
think it is too big. Ga that place they are
plowing large quantities of land to lie fal
low until the coming winter, when there will
be nothing to do but plant it. Ground thus
prepared produces much better than when
plowed and planted the same season.
"Sub' arrived at home a little wiser, and
a good deaf sorer.

IRoN FLUME-Willams, Bainbridge & Co.
on Saw Mill Flat, on Clear Creek, were so
unfortunate as to have their ditch flume
across Clear Greek carried away by the food.
They have concluded to render themselves
flood proof for the future. To accomplish
this they have stretched an iron wire across
the creek, having it safely anchored by hea
w bolts in the bed rock. To the wire they
will suspend galvanized iron pipe seven
inches in diameter The water viii be let
into the fume from the ditch with pressure
of about thirty-fve feet, thus insuring vast
supply for their mine The water will be
discharged into large reservoir, so that they
can have on hand at all times a sufiicieney
for any emergency.
1t is in contemplation to erect machinery
at this place during the summer for crushing
quartz. The great fall secured by this fume
will enable them to run mill at any rate of
speed desired, by the use of a hurdy- gurdy
wheel, and that, too, without the loss of
water for working their placer mine, as the
water can be carried from the wheel to the
reservoir after having performed its functions
as a motive power in crushing the quartz
The pipe and all the material used is of the
best quality, and manufactured in the most
substantial manner by our townsmen, Messrs.
Taylor & Voluntine, and will probably last
rs long as water runs.

Why Is II T?-On Wednesday night the
Express and passengers from San Francisco
came through in regular time, but no mail
arrived-not a sack. The Government pays
literally for carrying mails throughout the
State, and yet an Express company makes a
fortune by carrying mail matter over the
same lines, and with the very facilities with
which the mails should be carried. and are
carried, when carried at all. 1t is becoming
patent to every business man that in order to
get bis letters through he must pay the extra
seven cents and send his letters by Express.
Something rotten.
In connection with the above we have just
learned from passenger whom VIC know, and
have every confidence.n, that when the stage
left Tehama on Wednesday. there was a pile
of mail left there in the office, and among it
at least one lock bag.

A Crown REFUSED AT this day it is p'r-
haps known to but few that when Mexico
declared its independence of Spain, its crown
was, in the first instance, rendered to Joseph
Bonaparte, then residing as private citizen
of the United States at Bordentown. New
Jersey. He replied to the deputati, which
presented him this offer, in the following g
terms: 4 have borne two crowns, and
would not take one step to bear third. Moth
ing is more hattering to me than to see the
men who, when | was in Madrid, were willing
to recognize my authority, now-coming in my
exile, seeking to place me at their head. But
| do not believe that the throne which you
wish to erect now can give you any happi
ness. Every day which | pass in the hospi-
table land of the United States more al d
more conyinees me of the excellence of repul-
lican institutions for America. Preserve
them, therefore, as a precious gift of Provi-
dence; settle your domestic quarrels initiate

fellow citizens a man more capable than
myself of playing the noble part of Washing

mense quantity of gold-that they were Ii.
orally loaded with gold dust. They both
soon disappeared and were never seen in
California again.
In 1919, an American gentleman, Mr..
E.. was residing at Valparaiso and in
business there. His father. who was sea
captain happened to be at Valparaiso with
his ship when the news reached there of the
discovery of gold in California. Captain
E. Immediately sailed for San Francisco
with passengers, accompanied by his son.
With them. as steward, went negro, ma
tive of Valparaiso. Arriving at San Fran
cisco, Captain D--disposed of his ship and
settled there-his son returned to Chill. and
the negro started for the interior of the
State.
Late in 1850 Tor in 1851 Captain F.
received letter from his son at Valparaiso.
stating that the negro, their former stewart
had returned there with almost fabulous
wealth in gold. That he had conversed
with the negro, who told him the whole
story of his success that when he was wait
er in a saloon at Sacramento he overheard
an old hunter telling some companions of a
valley among the Sierras abounding in gold !:
that he noted carefully the old mans de-
scription of the route and place-heard the
arrangements made for the expedition
waited until he heard ofits return and its fail
urc; and then. with single companion,
started in search; how by better skill. or
better luck they found the golden valley.
and gathered of its profusion all they conld
take away. and more than enough for all his
wants. and still there was an abundance left.
The negro also gave Mr. description
of the place. somewhat indefinite, but cor
responding generally with Greenwood's and
sufficiently accurate to determine its location
within an area of moderate limits
Several times since 1850 the few who have
known this story have thought of starting in
search of Greenwood's golden valley. Some
trife has always prevented the execution of
this design. But within the year past the
region of Meadow Lake and Summit City,
in Nevada county. has been found to be
marvelousy rich in gold. 1t is certain that
somewhere in the vicinity of this newly dis
covered wealth, lies the valley where the
negro found his fortune. Perhaps some
lucky fellow will yet discover the playthings
of old man Greenwood's children.
This is no fancy sketch. l believe there
are gentlemen now in Marysvilc or Sacra-
mento who will remember their expedition
in search of old man Greenwood's valley
And if | am not misinformed a gentleman
now residing at San Francisco, and connect
ed with the press, can c0rroborate the main
facts above stated in regard to the finding Of
the valley by the negro.-Necada Gazette. 4

a TERRIBLE MURDER-One of the Albany
papers says: Mr.. Smith and wife, living
be wcen Muddy and Calapoola in Linn
county, were both murdered on Friday. the
9th. Smith was shot through the head ard
was found lying in the yard, His wife was
shot in the shoulder and was found dead in
the smoke house. On some of the neighbors
calling at the house, a brother of the mur-
dered man made his appearance and de-
clared that Smith had killed his wife and
then committed suicide. 1t was observed
that the bullet hole in the head of the dead
man was not powder burnt, indicating that
the weapon had been in the hands Of some
one at considerable distance when the
fatal shot WAS fired This led to the belief
that Smiths brother had committed the mur-
der 1t was rumored that this brother had
been intending to run away with one of
Smiths d;ic:gshters-a girl about sixteen
years old-and thai she AID younger sis
ter, about eight years old, implicated him as
the murderer"

RAIN-The last rain commenced on Tues

though the reservoirs from which its supplies
are obtained were still equal to almost any
demand. 1t has fallen in immense quaint.

A COW belonging to Mr.. John Niles near
Napanee, Canada West. recently presented
her owner with calf of very peculiar for.
nation. The body itself was perfect and
wellshaped, but the head more resembles
that of human being in shape than that of
a calf. The face was fat, without any ap
pearance of nose the mouth was quite
small and provided with well-set teeth. 1t
had only one eye, which was about the size
of a hens egg, and placed in the center Of
the forehead. The under jaw was circular
in form and extended to within an inch of
