The Connection Of Grant with the Gold
~ 5iii ~ Ring. f
J. B. Collins, Sec'y

Mr.. James Fisk, Jr, has published
statements over his own signature which
settle the question in regard to the com.
plicity of A. Il. Corbin, Grants brother
in.law. with the Cold Ring, and infer
entially aud naturally Of Grants own
connection withit Fisk says that " Cor
bin constantly associated with him; that
he has constantly communicated with
him (Fisk), and was q party in interest
in the transaction" Furthermore, "he
( (Corbn) spent an hour with him in the
Erie Railway office the day after the pan
ic." This is not all: Fisk charges that
Corbin organized and carried 1t on weeks
before he knew of its existence, and it
was his representations Of the influences
which he (Corbin) could bring to bear
that indnesd him (Fisk) to 60 into 1T.
What influences except those OF the frcsi-
dent could he bring to bearl .nt
Charles Mcintosh makes affidavit that
he saw Corbin at the Erie Railway Com.
panys office the day after the panic, and
that he was deeply interested in the trans
actions. Frederick w. Banfeld and
Chas. W. Pollard sustain Mcintosh in
their affidayits or Corbin's intimacy and
connection with Fisk. The most impor-
tant part Of Pollard's statement is that
on the Monday after the excitement he
(Pollard) called at Corbip's house, and
Corbin told him he and his wife had just
returned from Washing. travelling nights,
and Immediately on his return he had
sent a message to Gould at his residence
said he was too i'll to go down TO the OF.
flee. and urged Pollard 70 bring Gould
aad Fisk to his house.
There is much more IN this connection
but enough has already been given. Cor.
bins intimate connection before and al
ter the gold panic is not only proven, but
il Is substantiated that he went to Wash
incton with his wife, Grants sister, and
that, after an interview with the Prcsi'
dent, he journcyed day and night to reach
New York, where he might consult his
con freres and inform them of tho result
of his mission While these facts ofthem.
selves do not demonstrate beyond the
shadow Of doubt that Grant was In the
Ring, vet they afford strong colorlng
and probability that will be satisfactory
to nll intelligent and dispassionate men
who are aware Of his inordinate love oI
money and his nnscrnpnlons operations
TO obtain it. Whoever heard before Of
near relation of the President being
concerned in such operations, where the
latter could control them as he wished
either to his relative's profit or disadvan'
tage, and indirectly, il not directly, By
tho same agency to bis own proat r

SHALL-Pox.-0n Friday last James
Senuett, boarding back Of the Eclipse
mill, Gold Hill, broke out with the
smallpox and vas taken at ouce to the
County Hospital. Saturday evening a
man by the name of Cullen broke out
with the smallpox, and was immedi-
ately removed from his boarding house
at the upper oud of town to a cabin on
the hillside opposite the Vesey House,
where he is well cared for, and q yellow
flag warns outsiders to keep away.
This case and that of Mr.. Burgess, near
tue Bullion works, are the only onos in
town at present. We heard of several
fresh cases at Virginia this morning,
among them oue Of Lest K B%lanchard's
teamstsrs. The disease does not seem
to be decreasing worry rapidly.
PHorooRAPHIc.-At Suttcrly's famous
gallery in Virginia, yesterday, we saw
some very excellent Photographic views,
taken u short time since, Of the Gould
& Curry, Savage, Hale & Norcross and
other mining works and objects OF in
terest in and about Virginia. Every
old resident in this section should have
one. These Eve pictures are the very
thing to send to friends in other parts of
the States or the world, carrying to them
q most excellent idea of the appearance,
operations, and style. of this land Of
the sngebrush and thes liver brick.
Call at Sutterley's and see his pictures.
NEW WRITING SCHOOL To-NIGHr.-Mr.
W. G. Thompson, the well known, pop.
ular and efficient teacher in the nrt Of
peumanship in the Spencerian system,
opens a new term Of his Gold Hill school
this evening in the snug little hall OPP
posite the San Francisco Restaurant, on
Main street. Mr.. Thompson has mot
with very great Success in teaching, and
all DESTROYS of acquiring IL thorough
knowledge Of the important art Of PEN
mauship should embrace the present OPP
%portunity.
Nor Cor Ir.-Our worthy and much
esteemed friend Frank Obiston, Seere-
,ary of the Yellow Jacket Company,
Gold Hill, has moi got the smallpox, as
has been incorrectly stated. He is at
Virginia, in care Of DR.. Bronson, who
says no is recovering from al attack Of
pneumonia. We are truly glad to hear
that Frank, although sick, is after all
not to be piticd.
StEIGHISG.-Alas it has "goue from
our gaze like q beautiful DREAM" ere
we had fairly begun to realize the true
joys of it. There is a pretty fair foun-
dation for good sleighiug in Virginia in
case it should snow some more, but in
Main street, Gold Hill, there is rather Of
a miry foundation for sleighs, wagons,
or anything else.

The Origin of TallOW Candles.

The tallow candle is the offspring
of the tallow torch used in the twelfth
century. When tallow candles were
first introduced their cost was so
great that only the most wealthy
could afford the luxury, and it was
not till the fifteenth century that they
were sufficiently cheapened to come
into general use.
Think of a tallow candle-that
dripping, guttering, greasy thing
being considered a luxury. But the
tallow candle, now used only where
more convenient and economical
lighting materials cannot be obtain
ed, is, as we now know it, no more
to be compared to the candle of the
twelfth century, than the best illu
minating gas 10 lard oil. Its wick
was of tow, hard to light, and burn
ing so rapidly as to melt large por-
tion of the tallOw into rivers of oil,
so that the drip of four candles would
buy new one.
What would the quaint old revelers
of that period have thought if, in the
midst of one of their drinking bouts,
their tallow dips with tow wick:
could have been suddenly eclipsed
in the splendOr of the oxy,hydrogen
light of to-day. Verify, both the
physical and mental darkness of thai
age has given way to the light of s
brighter and nobler period.
Can it be that in centuries to come
the lIxuries of the present will b'
regarded as contemptuously as WI
now regard the obsolete appliances
of the middle ages ?-Scientyfe Amer

A Bad Practice.

An eminent physician in Hearth
and Home says:
at is a common practice of nurses
and parents to grasp children by Il
single hand or wrist, and lift them
bodily, as in stepping over cutters,
streams, &c. Occasionally q child
is seized by the hands and swung
around with great force, the body
being nearly held at right angles.
This feat is not always followed 10y
immediate ill effects, but is liable TO
result in most serious injury. AT
this period of life, the ends of the
long bones are united to the shafts
by cartilages, which renders them
weak and very liable to be distorted
by force. There are three o: these
bones in the arm one between the
shoulder and the elbow, and two be-
tween the elbow and wrist. The arm
of the child is therefore very weak.
When extension Is made at the hand,
the force is not expanded upon long,
finn bcnes, but rather upon bones
broken at several points, and very
loosely united. A small force, far
less than is required to fracture a
fully formed bone, will separate the
catrilaginous portions, or permanent
ly bend them. There is also anoth
er form of injury which may occur
at the instant. OF this l have seen
several examples. 1t consists in a
slight displacement of the cartilages
in one of the joints, either the wrist
or elbow, attended by pain. swelling
and tenderness. The joint is fixed
in semi flexed position, and the lit
tie sufferer will not allow it to be
moved, or even handled. 1t can be
easily rectified by a surgeon, by fore
ible Election and extension. Finally,
by lifting q child In this manner, the
|ligaments about the joints may be
extended, and this will weaken the
Joints, and this weakness may remain
as a permanent disability.
