Tue ARTICLE in yesterdays APPEAl
headed " Tolerance and Liberality in
the Pulpit" was SO worded as to con-
vey an unjust impression regarding such
of the Carson cier2ymen as belong to
other denominations than the Episcopal
Church. The Inference might be draw
from the language employed that We
accused the pastors of the Methodist
and Presbyterian churches of an nm
willingness to exchange pulpits. Such
is not the case and, furthermore, they
are ready to extend and reciprocate
such courtesies toward their clerical
oretheren of all denominations of Prot
sstantism. They fully sympathise with
Mr. y Hen in the ceurse be has taken
and feel to rejoice in the conviction
la; be will fight it out on this line if

BACKED OUT.-The Shasta Courier is re-
sponsible for the following yarn;
We heard good joke on resident of
Dog Creek the other day. The party referred
to is a bachelor and lives on the wagon
road. \ few days ago an emigrant wagon
from Oregon came along and camPed near
our friend's place. The head Of the family
soon made himself acquainted with the pro-
prietor of the premises, and asked him Why
he didn't get woman To keep house for
him. The answer was that he intended to
marry just as soon as a woman wiling to
enter Into the bonds Of matTimUny could be
found. The OCegOuisn remarked that he
could find him partner if he would take
her. The bachelor said that was right into
his hand, and the emigraut invited him to
his camp. The OregonIan called up a bounc-
ing Gamsel of about twenty years, and i'll
formed her that the gentleman accompany
lug him was . on the marry, and willing 10
take her for better or for worse. The dam
sci, delighted with the prospect, advanced,
and seizIuy our friend by the hand, assured
him that she was 9 lad to meet him, and WAS
ready to marry him al the drop OF the hat,
while the I'd lady hasteEed up and congrat-
u!ated her ''daTtrr' on ner good luck. Sur
prsed and alarmed at the serious turn mat
tiers had taken, our friend, who is cUnstitu-
tiunally opposed to the institution of matri-
monv, enGeavoreG to explain, by saving he
was only joking, and did not waIt to marry.
4 this the OregOnlan became highly Indl5-
nant, and the would be bride requested her
father to take his rife and "drap the var
mint in his tracks" AT this arfectionate
suggestion the bachelor left for his fortitca-
lions, the last thing he heard being the voice
OF the old lady consolihg her disappointed
- dartel " with the remark that it was best
to ''let the blk go. as he weren't man enough
to do her anyhow

BURGLARY AND ARREsT.--On Wed.
nesday night last, Mr.. Edward Como
of Jacksonville, entered the hotel Of
Elias Chadwick of that place, found
his way into Mr.. Chadwick's room
and into his breeches pocket, where
mis- wallet was, containing about $40
in money. Of this sum the modest
Como took $3.50 and departed,
leaving the balance, and doing no 9th

Sheriff Kingsly had the hard-hearted-
ness to arrest the poor fellow, who
owned up, told where the scrip was
hidden, which was duly recovered.

A BUTTER SToRY.-In 1888, a family by
the name of Van Sickler moved into the
town of Towanda, Pa, and took up as res
idence place formerly occupied as ho-
tel. On the premises was a deep well, or
iginally dug by or for, Mr.. Means the pro-
prietor. At the time of the building or
stOning up the WELL stone shelf was in
serted by order of the landlord about ten
feet down for the purpose of depositing in
a cool place, butter, beef, and such other
articles as might be considered necessary
to its preservation. The new corners on
| the place-the Van Sicklers-soon detect
ed, or thought they did, the presence of
decaying wood in the water, and it was de-
/ cded to have it cleared out According
| ly two old patriots were detailed for that
| service Their combined efforts, after a
few hours labor, resulted in the fishing up
a butter frkin tightly sealed, and black
with age, and its old slaves nearly rottcd
/ through. Mr.. Means, the old landlord,
| long since retired from business, and then
residing a short distance from the place,
was sent for and came down, white-haircd
and venerable, bearing on his cane. After
/ looking at it a moment, the old man said
he could explain the whole matter. The
/ tub had been let down on the stone shelf,
long years ago, when he kept the hotel.
As near as he could remember, it was over
thirty years previously. The tub had dis
appeared in the night, and it was supposed
it had been stolen. The well had never
been cleared out before to his knowledge.
The tub was now opened in the presence
of the little crowd that had gathered. The
lid was removed, the white linen cloth tax
en- up, and there was the butter, yellow as
gold, and as it proved on tasting, sweet as
if made but yesterday, although thirty-one
years had elapsed since it first went to the
bottom of the well, where it was now found
like Truth, inspired by its long residence.
| The old man claimed the prize and carried
| it offreioicing. Witnesses are still living
who were present at the time, who will,
with our informant, make affidavit to the
truth, in every particular, of this butter
story. In those days butter was only worth
from six to twelve cents per pound; now
see the diference-forty to fifty cents, and
not the best at that.

According to recent statistical calcula-
ton, the average number of honIicides in
Italy is IL to 100000 inhabitants, compar-
ed with eight in Spain, two in Sweden, two
in England, and in that model little state,
Belgium, only one in four years. In all
France, during the year 1867, there were
307 cases criminal of homicide compared
with 1925 in Italy; or nearly as many
murders as in France there were offences
of all kinds against the person and against
property. As M. Erdan remarks, this COM
parison is simply appalling. The south OF
| Italy is but few removes from savagery.

Gambling in Gold.

The New York Evening Post des-
cribes the way in which this gambling
in gold is carried on, as follows:
"There are hundreds of men in
this country who are in the habit of
selling gold for future delivery when
they think the price will fall; and
when it falls their profit is made by
buying it at the lower price and deliv-
oring it, in fulilment Of their contract,
at the higher. But sometimes it ri
ses, instead of falling; they have to
pay more for it than they get, and the
result is loss. In either case, during
the interval between the sale or con-
tract of sale and the purchase for de-
livery, the speculator is properly said
to be "short Of gold;' he has none,
and must obtain it in order to fill his
contract. Instead of contracting for
delivery at a definite future time, as
three or thirty or sixty days from the
day Of sale, it is most common to sell
the gold for immediate delivery, and
then to borrow it, until the seller
wishes to "cover," that is, to buy it
back. By far the greater part of all
the transactions in gold are of this
nature; that is to say, they are bets
on the future price of coin. The pro-
portion which these bets bear to what
is called the Legitimate business"
that is, to the transactions Of mer-
chants who buy and sell gold in the
ordinary course Of trade, is startling
to those who have not considered it.
The daily transactions of the Gold
Exchange bank are from $100,000,00O
to $200,000,000; that is to say, the
book transfers of gold bought and
sold amount to these sums; while the
actual amount of coin and coin certi
fcates used in these exchanges is from
100000 to 100000.
1t is fair estimate of the mercan
, tile business of the gold room to reck
on it at the sum of all the imports anC
exports of the port, and of the dutie:
paid on them. These amount, per
haps, to 100000 per day, on thu
4 average; but such transactions hav,
e been almost entirely suspended TO
some days past. On the other hand
the speculative business of yesterda.
n cannot have been less than S25O,OOO
e 600; and it is, on the average. at leas
. sixty times as great as that which re
) presents the trade of the country
r Now the whole amount of gold col
; owned by the banks, bankers, mel
chants and spectators of New Yor
t rarely exceeds $20,000,000; end bu
n part of this can be brought int
S Wall street for speculative deliveries
If combination Of capitalists, there
!, u fore, but buy up that amount, then a
!, who have gold to deliver must buy {
lie borrow of them. If they buy not OF
ly that amount, but much more, sol
is "short" by the other gamblers aroun
d them, they have the latter at the
N y mercy; and can raise the price fC
the time, at their will, compelling q
Of who arc short" to pay them the d
t. ference in price.

this kind, is to pour bottle of "Johnson's
