FIRST CALIFORNIA HOLD
MINER DEAD.
Isaac Humnhrey. tb,


Isaac Humphrey, the pioneer gold
miner of California, died at Victoria,
on the LIST inst. Marshall was the FIRST
d%iscoycrer of the gold, at Suffers mill,
on the 10th of February, ls4s, but did
not then know for q certainty what the
yellow metal was he had found, al
though he declared it to be gold; as he
could not prove it, however, he was not
believed by his associates. Little pieces
Of the metal, however, continued to be
picked up in the miilrace, until at
length, nearly three months after tho
discovery, Bennett, one of the men en-
ployed at the mill, seeing that the metal
stood all the tests they could bring to
bear upon it, took some of the yellow
stuff to San Francisco. There he made
the acquaintance ofHumphrey, who was
q Georgian by birth, and known to be
experienced in tho placers of his own
native State. He at once pronounced 1t
Enthusiastically gold, and being satisfied,
from Benefits story, that there must be
very rich and extensive mines of the
precious metal at or near Suffers mill,
no repaired thither in the first week o.
April, and tho very next day commenced
prospecting, with shovel and pan. Hill
first painful yielded several dollars
and finding the gold everywhere
he made q rocker and went to work in
the old Georgia miner style. He was
very successful, and Marshall and hi
associates followed suit, abandoning oil
other occupations as proitless, com
pared with this new and fruitful source
of wealth. The discovery was made
and now the news was spread far ane
near over the country, and soon through
out the world. The golden era was in
/, augurated, and California became fa
nous. Isaac Humphrey, working will
his little rude rocker, could hardly hav'
had any adequate conception Of the i'm
mense wealth he was developing
through Masshall's discovery, or Of tn
untold millions Of dollars which thu
California gold mines have since yield
ed. 1t is true that gold had been dis
covered, and placers worked, man!
years previously, in the southern por

suits, which have since startled tn

MINING AND MILLING INTERESTS.


There Is much Of Importance in the
discussion Of these subjects. They in
volves largo amount of wealth-are the
leading interests Of our State. Here
toforo there has not been that concert
of action between the two that should
have been, the former to have rewarded
merited success, and tho latter to have
made those advances in practical knowl-
edge SO much desired in the economical
working Of ores. Where the objects Of
the minining Superintendent should
have been to exact of mills as largo o
percentage of returns as possible, even
by the payment of extra compensation
to those mills whose returns were
largest, their exertions and influence, it
would appear, have, on the contrary,
been directed, to a reduction of the price
of mill work only. They have been sat
is6ed with proceeds that come up to 65
per cent, and have so exacted of mills.
They have given no encouragement to
mill men to 60 beyond this. OF the
large per centage lost, 1857 no rewards
have been offered to save any portion,
for mill men werc not inclined to 60 to
any additional expense, when they could
come up to 65 per cent. withoutit.
Now, 1t appears to US this has not been
business like; nor does it evince an eco
nomical regard for the true interests Of
our mines. W. are firmly impressed
with the opinion that, had q more lib
eral course been pursued, a larger per-
centage than 65 would now DO returned
from the working Of our ores. Expri-
ments would have been made-practical
tests applied, for the rivalry created
among mill men for the highest price
paid for working ores, would have pro-
duced these results. Does any practical
business nan believe, that where there
is u loss Of IS per cent, that that bust
ness has been properly managed and
carried on? Does anyone believe that
perfection has been attained in milling
with no better results than q return OF
65 per cent. 2
From an observation that extends
over " peFiou VI So'eIai yc9rsi nuu rum
frequent conversations with mill men,
we are confident that IS, if not so per
cent. would be the amount Of proceeds
now being returned from tho working OF
ores. No mill man at the present time
is going to any additional expense in
the way of chemicals, or the introduc-
ton of any process oc%casioning delay,
wien the price of reduction is reduced
to so low ! figure as simply to pay OK
penses with the smallest kind of a mar.
gin for profits. Before any additional
advance 10 made upon 65 per cent. as
returns, q different course must DO pur'
sued by our mining Presidents, Super
intendenu, Directors, or whoever has
tho control and management of mines,

EXTRAORDINARY REvESGE.-The Prov.
idence.. (R. ~ Herald of the 2lst tells
the following ridiculous story Of a
henpecked husband who took q mos,
singular revenge:
A singular case Of matrimonial infs-
licity is reported on Village street, two
or three evenings ago. A couple, both
slightly under the influence of bever-
ages, had o "cheerful discussion"
which eliminated in a regular quarrel,
after they had retired to their couch for
the night. At last, rendered frantic by
the singing words Of his wife, and in
order to revenge himself upon her, the
man sprang from the bed and seated
himself upon the hot cooking stove,
"accoutred as be was" in a very limited
line of wearing apparel. The stove
being very hot, the mans flesh burned
on, and his night garment somehow
caught upon the rear of the stove, he
was unable to release himself. His
screams for help were treated with cool
indifference by his wife, and it was only
when his cries had called in two men
from another room, that he was extrica-
ted from his uncomfortable position, by
being pulled of the stove by main
strength. or course his burns were
terrible, and the physicians who atten-
ded him predict that they Will result In
lameness.

SHOCKING MURDER IN LouIsvILLE-THE
| WORK OF THE GRERN-EYED MONSTER.
About eight o'clock last night, q horri-
BILE tragedy occurred at q house, on the
disreputable street known rs Marshall,
between Preston and jackson. The
| particulars, as far as we could learn
them from those in the immediate vicin-
ity, are as follows: A young man
named Joshua Drake has for ONE time
past been living in w illegitimate q
ner with Ann Brown. 1t appears that
some real or imaginary cause i~nstigated
q deadly feeling of Jealousy in the bosom
Of Drake, and he resolved to take the
life of the woman. Last night, at tho
hour above stated, ho called ut the
house, and invited her to accompany
him to her room. She complied with
his request, little fearing his terrible
purpose. After they got in the room,
Drake locked the door, and turning to
Ann Brown, told her to kneel and offer
up her last prayer to Almighty God in
Eve minutes, for her time to quit this
world had come. The affrighted woman
feeling convinced of his horrible inten-
ton, made q frantic effort to reach the
door, at the same time crying "Mur-
derl' at the top of her voice. Tho viii
lain drew his knife and commenced cut
ting her in a name which leaves but
little room for doubt that he intended to
literally cut her to pieces. Aparty Of
men In the front room, hearing her
screams, rushed to tho door and sue
ceeded in bursting It open, when Drake
rushed ont with his knife in hand, drip
ping with the blood Of his victim. In
the confusion of the moment he made
his escape. From DR.. Keller, who was
called 10 to attend the unfortunate
woman, we learn that she vas cut six
teen times about the body and arms, tho
most dangerous wounds being in the
abdomen. She conversed nationally,
and stated that Drake had been led to
believe that she had transferred her af-
fections to another DR.. Keller is
inclined to believe that either n of the
three wounds in the abdomen will provo
fatal, as she was almost disemboweled.

GENERAL CUSTER, the well-kuown cav
airy officer, was some time ago court
martialed for conduct during the Indian
campaign last summer. He was tried
at Fort Leavenworth, and the proceed
ings Of the court sent to Washington.
A despatch from Fort Learenworth
states that the President has approved
the proceedings, and that on November
25th the record and sentence were re,
ceiyed at Leavenworth and read before
the troops at that post. Some OF the
charges upon which he was tried were
absence from his command without
leave, and leaving his men in the hands
of the Indians without any effort &c
rescue them ; making undue haste i n hi:
return march, thereby causing much
damage to the stock, and conduct pre-
judicial to good military discipline
The court finds him guilty, and suspend:
him from rank and pay proper for one
year.

TIM ciobniar form OF the earth wa

The globular form Of the earth was
first suggested by Thales, Of Miletus,
about $40 b. Q. Its magnitude was cal
culated from measuring an arc d tne
meridian by Eratostheneses, z4o s.o.
Tho Greeks taught the sphericity OF the
earth, and the Popos believed 1t to DC O
plane, and gave oil to the west to the
kings of Spain. The first ship tnat
sailed around the earth and thence
demonstrated that its form was gloou-
lar, was Magellen's in 1919. The notion
of its magnetism was started by Gilbert
in 1876. The experiments OF NJ: kicner,
in 1872, led Newton to prove the eattn
to be the shape of an oblate spheroid:
The variation of its axis was discovered
by DR.. Brady in 1874.
