Seth WILDER Payne among the arrivals
of yesterday. This gentleman 1t VIII
be recollected, shortly after the comP'e-
ton of Westou's great walking iea'
from Portland TO Chicago, conciuueu 10
attempt the pedestrian exploit OF walk
ING from New York to San Francisco In
$50 DAYS. By way Of the Central IA
ci6c railroad the distance is precisely
:. 400 miles between the two points, so
that an average of % miles per day
vopld have TO be made. He certainly
has been successful thus far, as he is
considerably within time, and has been
taking it very leisurely Of late. His
little walk over the Sierra and across
the Golden State to San Francisco will
be but a mere pleasure excursion COM
pared with the long and dreary route he
has already experienced. Seth WILDER
Payne, the pedestrian, is well known to
the public as an author. He walked
pretty much all over Europe some years
ago, and upon his return wrote u book
on all he saw, heard and did. The
object Of the present trip is precisely
the same as was his European tour, and
his limiting himself to q certain length
Of time, was doubtless caused by q
desire to perform u feat of distinction.
He takes copious notes Of this trip with
n view to publishing in book form in duo
season.
FOUNDED on BULLIoN.-Unlike many
Of the towns and cities not only In this
State but in most parts Of the world,
Gold Hill and Virginia do not depend
for their prosperity upon outside sources
Of revenue or moneys brought from
elsewhere to be expended here. Deep
in the bowels Of their foundations are
countless millions Of tons Of rich bullion
producing ores, the supply Of which will
outlast at least this generation and the
next. Beneath these flourishing towns
hundreds Of their citizens find steady
employment in the mines, good steady
employment, at good wages. Then, too,
there are the numerous surface hosting
works, mills, etc., all kept in steady
operation by these same miners, call
ing into requisition the numerous en-
gineers, iremen, teamsters, rock-break-
ers, carmen, and other varieties Of Ia
borcrs, to say nothing Of the superin-
tendents, foremen, secretaries, and 9TH
er officers and attaches of the mills and
mines. The money consumed in paying
off all these meu is produced from the
mines beneath us, and the vast majority
of it is spent directly among US, going to
the support Of all branches of trade and
industry. We have u perfect right to
felicitate ourselves on being n perma-
nently prosperous community.
PIpER's OPERA HOUSE," Adricnne
the Actress" was the grand source Of
attraction at the Opera House last
evening, and Mrs. Bowers rendition Of
that character was rs usual, finished,
artistic and perfect. The Count Maui
rice de SAKE of McCollum, Beatty's
Prince de Bouillon, and Melville's
Michonet were very good. Howson, in
the i"mpersonation Of Able lie Tour,
found an excellent opportunity for the
exhibition Of his peculiar style OF
artistic talent. He has q very pleasing
vein of the serio-comic in his compo-
sition, and q correct conception Of the
ludicrous, as well as q goodly degree of
real merit as an actor in whatever role
he assumes. The Princess de Bouillon
was also excellently personated by Mrs.
Stewart. A very pleasing and attractive
piece entitled " Loves Masquerade, or
How He Wou Her" will be presented
tonight with q strong last Of characters.
This piece was arranged expressly for
Mrs. Bowers, and is one OF her beat.
Reserved seats can be secured without
extra charge, on application at the box

ING of the most liberal patronage Tor

theatrical and musical taste Of our cit
liens.
