MAI. FACILITIES FOR WHITE PINE
The following announcement by the Reveille
Of the 9th inst. will be received with pleasure
by those who have friends and correspondents
at White Pine:
This morning the brothers Wilson were
notified officially that their bid to carry the
mail over route No. ,43S, between Austin
and Hamilton once > week. Sas accepted,
and the service was to begin on the lst July.
This is slow beginning, but il is better than
10 mail at all. The relation existing between
Austin and its vicinity and the district Of
White Pine, renders it imperative that the
necessities OF the people should be supplied
with a daily mail. Nothing short Of this will
meet the required facility, and our citizens
should lose no time in calling the attention
of their Representative to their need. The
proportions OF White Pine have long since
outgrown the meager facility Of weekly
mail, and the Post Office Department should
be made acquainted with the fact. Let the
mail be daily.

The Sanate's Committee OF Commerce has
reported the nomination of Gen. James
Longstreet for Surveyor Of the Port of New
Orleans without recommendation, thus
atfordinSrto the Senate an admirable oppor-
tunity for showing that it is less wise. mag
unanimous, and far-Seeing than Gen Grant,
and that for any decisive action designed to
extinguiSh and eiiace the hates and wounds
OF our late civil war, the country must look
to the President alone. We do not believe
that Gen. Grant wishes to be dictator or TO
perpetuate his power; but, if he cherished
any such ambitious purpose, the course VIZ
tually CONNIE nued to the Senate oy It's Ion-

A MARRIsD RAKl-The San Mate,

A AAERIsD RAKl.-The San Mateo
Gazette Of the 10Th inst. has the fol-
lowing:
man by the name Of Brown, a stencil
plate engraver in San Jose, ran off with a
Young daughter Of Orrin Dubois one day
las, week, but was pursued by an officer and
the parties captured near old G.iroy, and
brought back to San Jose. Brown has a
family, and when it is taken into considera-
,ion that Dubois shot and killed a young
man BY the name of Cooper, about one year
ago for attempting to abduct this same
daughter, Brown may consider himself in
luck, If he don't get the top, of his head
blown oH-as it ought to be. What became
Of Brown is not clearly showa By any of the
notices We have seen in the San Jose papers.

The RIGHT OF PRIESTS TO Marry IN
IrALY.-We copy the following from the
Washington Chronicle
The question Of priestly celibacy has come
up once more in Naples, and the right of
priests to marry is now res oojud:cata in
italv. outsid. the States ofthe Church. The
Tribunal of Salerno forbade young priest
to take a wife, whereupon he appealed 10 the
Neapoltan courts, and the result was in his
favor. A similar decision was rendered two
years ago in Genoa. 1t seems strange
enough that just at the moment that some
Anglican extremists are msditating the
solitary VOW, the priesthood of the older
Romanists countries are throwing 1t over
board.

EQUAL TO THE EBERHARDr-The White

EorAL TO THE EBERHARDT.-The White
Pine News thus describes the " California
mine which has been newly brought to
light and which i. situated about half
mile east of Shermantown:
The ledge is nov stripped for distance OF
! about 100 feet. and is about 45 feet IN width.
The ore was covered BY some four or hve
inches of dirt. which being removed leaves
the whole surface Of she ledge exposed, and
the entire mass is good milling ore, running
by ASSAY from 500 to SIS 900 per ton. The
| foot wall crops out above the ground, and
| forms the brink of precipice overhanRing
a deep ravine, while the hanging wall Is
capped nv about three feet of shae. A cut
has been made through this shale TO the
| solid rock Of the hanging wall and along
the ledge for 100 feet. In the blacksmith
shop, south Of the groupings some ~ feet, d
shaft has beeE sunk to the depth of I'D feet,
and a DRIFT from this is now in the castings
and will be pushed across the led e, tapping

Literary Society.

We are glad to hear that n new literary
association has been organized in our city
among Catholic young gentlemen, for their
mutual improvement. The one to which
we now refer is attached to st. Patrick s
parish, having the following gentlemen as
officers, viz: Messrs. John McPhelin, Presi-
dent; John Toomey, JOS. A. Trenchard,
Vice Presidents; Berlin Childress, Secre-
tary; Thos. r. Medley, Treasurer; JAS B.
Walton, Jr., Financial Secretary L. T.. Lin
UUTII, CrIUfc
The objects of this society embrace all
kinds of literary practice and Improvement,
including debates. When properly conduct
ed such associations are found to furnish a
more fascinating mode of passing leis-
nre evenings than the theatre, the dance
room, and other such places of equi-
vocal influences. The Improvement expe-
rienced is by no means to be lightly under
rated If the necessary preparations for the
exercises are made
1t is source of great satisfaction to find
that the spirit of rational amusement and
of association, to effect laudable ends is
spreading among our young men, aud we
hope that undertakings of this nature will
receive the consideration to which they are
entitled among that class of the communi-
ty to which they address their claims. We
'ssE'st act wait until an enterprise is
a fixed success before patronizingit. Every
new development of the spirit of the age
is gradual III its maturity and cannot be
expected to spring into full growth Mt Its
birth. Where meritorious claimants o,;s.
they ought to be fostered. The spirit of
the present age is essentially one of associ-
alton. Evil strengthens itself by its dis
cipline and good must employ the same
agency. Union is strength. - I

All Saints.


The world cberishes the memory of heroic
men and lofty events by anniversaries
The declaration of q nations independence
the birthday of a conqueror, even the fes-
tival of laurel-crowned poet is celebrated
with pomp and eclat proper to keep alive
the memory of something thought worthy
of perpetual admiration. Even so in the
realm of piety and religion Certain Chris
tians have fought the good fight and earned
the reward of victory. Their virtue has
reached the point'of heroism and is worthy
the veneration and homage of living men.
An anniversary has therefore been appoint
ed in which to commemorate the contests
and glorious triumph of Z" All Saints.n
AS long as time lasts their memory shall
be cherished and their anniversary honored
throughout the world, while national festi-
walls are passing into oblivion and heroes
names are consigned to the custody of dus-
ty parchments. That which is of the earth
is infected with its perishable nature and
is subject to decay, while the glory which
is to be eternal sheds halo of it's immor-
tality even upon the changeful elements of
an existence with which it has once been
connected.
The ,pious custom of visiting and orna-
menting the tombs of departed friends on
this day has long obtained in this commu-
nifty, aud it is this custom, either on this or
=" All Souls" day, which in Catholic coun-
tries is the chief means of securing such
marked attention to the keeping and condi-
ton of cemeteries. Once year, at least,
it becomes necessary to make such repairs
as the ravages of time may have rendered
advisable, or at least an occasion presents
itself when it will be impossible not to be
made aware of such necessities.
In this connection we may say that it is
to take some joint action as to |
the future care of st. Patricks and the |
cemeteries. 1t is of but little
avail to set out shrubbery and plant flow
ers while the gates are neglected and the
walks uncared for; And yet the revenues
If these cemeteries s at present conduct
I'd, are not sufficient to justify the employ
nent of the labor necessary for this care.
It is to be hoped that the festival of to-
morrow will not pass over without some
lefnite understanding being had on this
Joint by those most Interested.

Is Legislation, therefore, the only business
that requires no business qualification ?
Can No proper classification be found of
persons who may be presumed to be COM
petent to its duties except that of simple
citizenship? This Is the real problem for
solution apparently, not the question of
who shall vote and who shall not. In
republic all citizens are supposed to be
competent to vote, but it would be absurd
to suppose all capable of filling offices sat
isfactorily.
