l SPOKE the other day of Mr.. Sumner, as
an illustration of the difference between the
ory and pratice in America. as Charles
James Fox was in English politics-the two
beings intensely Democratic in their preach.
ings, but intensely aristocratic in their prac
ticings. Mr.. Belmont is still stronger
case in point. The Chairman of the Ma.
tional Democratic Committee-the head of a
party whose strongest antipathy is against
bondholders and money kings he is the
agent of the greatest money kings of the
world-,a man who collects more of the
6 gold interest" on American bonds than
any other man in the country and who in
his social life is the proudest arristocrat in
tie land-has more magnificent equipag' Q
and more liveried footman than some of the
grandest noblemen in aristocratic England.
Now it will be an interesting study to watch
the proceeding of the Democratic Conv ention.

UNIONS AND EPIDEMICs.-Johu B. Wolf
writes to the Scientific American:
In the spring of lS49 | was in charge of
one hundred men on shipboard, with the
cholera among the men. We had onions.
which a number of the men ate freelv.-
Those who did SO were soon attacked. and
nearly all died. As soon as made this dis.
covery their use was forbidden. After ma.
ture reflection | came to the conclusion
that onions should never lie eaten during
the prevalence of epidemics, for the reason
that they absorb the virus and communicate
the disease, and that the proper use for them
is sliced and placed in the sick room, and
replaced with fresh ones every few hours.
Ii is well established fact that onions
will extract the poison of snakes; this |
personally know. Some kinds of mud will
do the same. -
After maintaining the foregoing opinion

A BLOOD THIRSTY OVERWHELMINGLY.
it was supposed, was about the only news.
paper publisher who glorifed through his
columns over the murder of President Lin.
coin, but it appears be was not alone in
this infamy. The editor Of the Prairie du
CHEN Courier, who was a member of the com
mittee on the platform of the last Wiscon-
sin Democratic State Convention says in his
parer:
Tns result of the election of 1867, has
brought the nation nearer to peace and
happiness-has done more to restore the
Union to its fo-mer proud position and
promise than did all the victories won by
northern prowress during the five years of
murderous crnsading for plunder lately end
ed For this glorious opening of victory
Tor the efectual halting of usurpation, ros-
terity will give each Of you noble name.
The report of that little pistol in a Wash
ington theater, where rulers were actors and
nations spectators, reverberated farther down
the aisles of the future than did all the con.
solldated connonading of the war. 1t closed
the Infamous volume of tyranny-it dismiss.
ed the teacher of that school which taught
only usurpation, levity and military necessi-
ty-it flashed red line under the long col
umn of unlawful acts-it halted most effect.
ualy the career of that party which, conceiv-
ed in fanaticism, born in hate, nursed on
avarice, and schooled in selfshness, had for
its object power and plunder, rather ttafk
peace and prosperity.

of 1868 and we shall win We will win

ABYssINIAN WAR.-A battle took place
before Magdala, on the 10th ult., between
the British forces, under General Napier, and
the Abyssnian army. commanded by King
Theodore The Abyssinians were defeated
and driven into the town with heavy loss.-
Two days afterward the British carried the
town by storm, when Theodore and large
number of bis warriors were killed, and
many wounded and taken prisoners. The
British captives were found in prison alive
and were set free.

TAXING MINEs.-E. T. Bean, Assessor of
Nevada county, addressed District Attorney
Cfbss asking for instructions in regard to
listing and assessing mining claims. Mr..
Cross replies at length through the columns
of the Gazette, giving his reasons for the fol-
lowing instructions:
lst. That mining claims, and all other pos
sessory rights, is4terests or estates upon the
public lands are legally assessable for State
and county taxes, to the extent of their
value.
I'd. That such interests should be assessed
as real property, aud in the usual legal mode
OF assessing such property.
Sd. As respects the certificates of stock in
corporations organized in this State, in all
cases wren the property of such bodies is
actually taxed. the certificates of stock in
corporations organized in other States pre-
sents more difficulties. Upon the whole am
of the opinion, that. under the authority of
the case of the People vs.. McCreery, it is
your duty to assess stock at its actual val
uation in this State.
The Shasta courier., 1868-05-02

SARzA.-We have long supposed this eel,
ebrated drug had come to be an exploded
humbug, but we.are assured by those skilled
in the healing art, that not the Sarsaparilla
itself is to be blamed for this conclusion, but
the miserable worthless preparations of it
that have been palmed off upon the commu-
INTERPRETATIONS that contain about as
much of its virtues as they do of gold DUST
1t is commercial fact that almost all of the
Sarsaparilla gathered in the world, is con.
sumed in the old countries of Europe, where
the science of medicine has reached its high
est perfection, and where they know the best
what to employ for the mastery of disease
Hence we are glad to find that we are now to
have compound of this excellent alternative,
which can be relied on. and our community
will not need be assured, that anything DR..
AVER makes, is worthy of their confidence.

Fort Crook RoAD.--An experienced sur
veyor and road builder has just passed owe,
the route of the proposed Shasta and Fort
Crook wagon road, and carefully noted the
difficulties to be overcome in constructing
such highway. As result of this examin-
road can be built from Woodman's Ranch
to intersect the Red Bluff road at Montgom.
cry Creek, for one thousand dollars. A
subscription of nine hundred dollars has
already been made for this purpose, and
that, too, without any particular effort being
made, and all that is now wanting to secure
the early completion of the work is for the
subscribers to get together and appoint a
committee to let contract for building the
road, disburse the money. and receive the
work when finished according to contract.
No one acquainted with the extent and
resources of the Fort Crook country will
doubt but that the opening of this direct
route of communication will tend to benefit
this town, and in some measure revive it's
sluggish trade. The section of which we
speak embraces an immense area of the finest
agricultural and grazing lands in the north,
ern portion of the State, and is rapidly filling
up with new settlers seeking permenent
homes. The trade of this settlement now
goes to Red Bluff, for the simple reason that
there is no direct road to this place. By
building this road Fort Crock would be
brought twenty. five miles nearer to Shasta
than to Red Bluff, and the trade would
consequently be diverted to this town. We
hope the. enterprise will be promptly tn
pushed forward to successful termination.
Now is the time for action. Let a move be
made at once.

His AREPLY.-A Berlin journal relates that
I'nie famous Bismarck once challenged Dr.
Virchow for offensive language used in par
liamentary debate. The learned doctor was
at that time engaged in Investigations re
lating to- trichinosis. He is said to have thus
replied to the messenger who bore Bismarck s
challenge: my arms; there they are
those two sausages. One of them is full
OF trichina, the other is pure. Let his
excellency breakfast with me. We will eat
the sausages, and he shall take his choice of
rthem."

SINcuLAR.-Onc day last week flash Of
lightning was seen by many in this place,
although the sun was shining brightly at the
time. But few clouds were in sight that day,
and the singular flash of lightning led to
general comment. The evening stage, how
ever, brought word that heavy rain had
fallen about the mouth of Clear Greek during
the afternoon, and at Bells bridge the water
literally came down in torrents. 1t was
undoubtedly caused by the bursting of q
a water spout.

ExAMINATIoN.-The County Board of Ex-
animation, composed of Mrs. Loag, Daniel
