THE VAGABoND SAGE-An old man
of very active physiognomy, answering to
the name of Jacob Wilmot, was brought
up the other day before magistrate,
charged with vagrancy. His clothes look
ed as if they might have been bought second
handed in his youthful prime, for they bad
suffered more from the rubs of the world
than the proprietor himself had.
What business ?

A yagabond, perhaps?'
You are not far wrong Travellers and
vagabonds are about the same thing. The
difference is that the latter travel without
money, the former without brains

home; an eloquent preacher who will

situated on Jordan Greek, on the Humboldt
road, about fifty miles from Silver City. 1t
comprises charming and picturesque little
valley about two miles in length, by, per-
haps, nearly half a mile in width. On the
south side it is bounded by rather precipitous
bluffs, while on the west il loses itself in
continuation of low rolling hills covered
with sagebrush and bunchgrass, ai1ording
excellent pasturagc the year round.
The valley proper is extremely fer
tile, producing vegetables and cereals Of the
temperate zone in profusion. But little
snow falls there in Winter and does not long
remain. 1t is indeed refreshing to leave the
snow clad mountains of 0wyhee behind and
visit the beautiful little valley in the latter
part of March or the beginning of April.
Then you can tread on a grassy carpet and
feast your enchanted vision on the dark
green foliage of the willows that fringe the
banks of the eddying stream. Mr.. Merrill,
the gentlemanly proprietor oil the ranch,
during the past Winter, has completed an
excellent and commodious house, built Of
fine grey sandstone obtained at an adjacent
quarry. MT Merrill and family are kind and
accommodating to travellers, who always
reckon on getting a meal at the Sheep Ranch
that would do credit to places less remote
from civilization. The way in which the
ranch derived its name deserves a mention.
Late in the Fall of '64, man named Wade
brought q band OF 500 sheep from Humboldt
County, New, intending them for the owy-
bee market. The Winter having already set
in with all its rigor in the mountains, Wade
concluded to keep his sheep till spring in the
secluded little valley in question. place
to live was excavated in a bank and n sage
brush corral was built to keep the sheep to-
gethcr and protect them from coyotes at night
One morning in March the herders awakened
and found the sheep gone party OF In
dams had driven them off. The trail was
followed a short distance, but as there wers
| only three OF the herders the pursuit was
abandoned. The following Summer II wa

Senator Summers great speech in the

Senator Summers great speech IN the
Senate, April 18th, on the Alabama question
is characterised as the most important polti-
cal paper Of the age The Johnson-Claren-
don treaty was before the Senate for raiih-
cation, but was promptly rejected, by vote
Of fifty-four to one Mr. Sumner discussed
the pending treaty in a mastery manner,
showing that il contained no recognition oil
international law applicable to such cases,
and that the national cause was regarded
only as bundle OF Individual claims. The
case against England is clearly and logically
stated, demonstrating a most fragrant out
rage of international rule. After an elabo
rate statistical research, the sum total Of Ma
tional loss is put down at S1l0,000,O 900,
large sum, but not an over estimate, when,
besides individual losses, the moral effect on
the rebellion and the destruction Of the
American carrying trade, are taken into con
sideration. In conclusion of his speech, Mr.
Sumner uses the following pathetic and
eloquent language;
The truth must be told not in anger, but in
sadness England has done to the United
States an injury most difficult TO measure
Considering when it was done and in what
completely. it is most unaccO9ntable. Al
great epoch Of history, no less momentous
than the French Revolution or that OF the
Reformation, when civilization was lighting

to the wicked cause, and flung sword INTO
the scale with slavery. Strange that the
land of Wilberforce, after spending millions
for emancipation. after proclaiming every
where the truths Of Liberty, and ascending
10 glorious primacy in the sublime move
ments for the universal abolition OF slavery,
could do this thing Like every departure
from the rule of justice and good neighbor-
hood. her conduct was pernicious in proper
tion to the scale of operations, affecting indl-
viduals, corporations, communities and the

formerly of this place was engaged. From
the Humboldt Register of the sth we get the
following particulars:
The affair occurred at Winnemucca in the
Railroad saloon, between Tom Thacker and

in the serious if not fatal wounding Of the
latter. Five shots we're exchanged, " Bos-

Both Of Thacker's shots took effect in " Bos-

himself into the custody Of the justice, and
after having had hearing, was discharged
