HEARD FRoM-In the Senate, recently,
Stewart of Nevada referred to the possible re-
demption of Kentucky, Maryland and Del
aware from the clutches Of secession Dem
ocracy. This reused up drunken salisbury
who pitched into Stewart and abused him
and the people of Nevada most shamefully.
His success in that line so elated him that he
went on huge spree and finally wound by
by tumbling out of a carriage and breaking
his leg. The chances are that Salisbury will
become entirely sober once more at least.

THAT CARD.-E Steele of Yreka, who evi-
IDENTIFY has weakness for seeing his name
printed in the Sacramento Union. is out in a
card in that journal denying that the Castro
family were badly treated while suffering with
smallpox. Steele says that two of their best
physicians were sent to the aid Of the family
as soon as it was discovered that the first
child taken was sick. The Yreka Union Of
Feb Goth states that the child was taken sick
on the 18th of January, and that the physi-
clans did not call until the 22nd. Between
these dates it was known that the child had
the smallpox. Steele also says an addition
was built to the cabin occupied by the family
after the first patient died. What benefit was
that after the family had been cooped up for
days with patient suffering with virulent
type of smallpox? Being SO confined they
could not hope to escape the disease. People
sometimes perform acts or endorse their per-
formance while under the influence of fear
which they are heartily ashamed of and ex-
tremely sensitive over after their alarm has
subsided. The Castro affair exemplifes this
fact.

STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.-Wm. Smith tends
She Pitt River ferry on the Soda Springs
wagon road and has generally kept an Indian
to assist him in managing the boat. One day
last week brother of the Indian so emyloyed
came to the opposite side of the river from
where the boat was moored and desired to be
ferried across As the river was very high
Smith refused to cross him over. This en-.
ragged the Indian employed on the ferry and
he commenced rolling up his sleeves and
swearing vengeance. Seeing his hostile ma
neuyers Smith started to run into the house
to get gun to protect himself with in case
it was necessary. The Indian OWNED his in
tention and run for the gun also, declaring
be would shoot if he could get it. Smith got
to the guu first but he had scarcely grasped
it before his antagonist clasped him so firmly
around the arms and body as to prevent him
from using the weapon. A desperate struggle
then followed for possession of the rifle until
the Indian tired out and suddenly releas
ed his hold and fed SO rapidly as to prevent
Smith from drawing bead on him. A blue
pill should be administered to that savage.
