TRs NEGRO RAcE DooMED.-Undcr
the form Of slavery that subsisted in
the Southern States, the negroes were
tho most prolific race in the world. AS
illustrating the effect upon them in this
particular Of their changed condition,
the Norfolk Journal says: "a gentle
man informed us some weeks since that
on his farm there are nine negro couples
but not one child among them. Ano-
Their friend, from the south side of the
James River, told us the other day that
there are, within a quarter of q mile Of
his house, eight negro families, among
whom there has but one child been born
since the war. We have heard many
such accounts from various other sour
ces, all pointing to the fact thatinerease
of the colored people is now much less
than their decrease by death. In addi.
ton to tho facts we have stated, we
read in many newspapers that it is be-
lisved that the same state of things Is
general in the South. The next census
will give some strange revelations on
the subject" 1t may have q bearing on
the question to mention that, while the
white population Of this city ia I'M
doubtedly materially greater than the
colored, the official report Of mortality
last week showed that there were twenty.
FIVE deaths among the latter to thirteen
among the former.-Richmond Wing.

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS BACK OF OAK.
LAND.-For three days past a destruc-
tive confagration has been raging in
the foothills east Of Oakland. The Ere
originated on Wednesday afternoon ut
the works Of the Contra Costa Water
Company, and spread slowly for two
hours, but on Friday it reached the tel
egraph road. Shorty after shutdown the
house OF tho Rev. Mr.. White took Ere,
and was very quickly consumed, the
furniture and personal property being
entirely destroyed, and Mrs. White,
whose husband is absent, barely escap-
ing serious injury. The house and con-
tents and surrounding property des.
troysd are estimated at $1,000. In the
same vicinity the haystack Of A. D.
Colby was burned, and D. A. Pryars
haystack of 100 bales of hay, worth
about $3.50, was also destroyed. 1t
spread in every direction from this
point, and by eight o'clock could be
seen in the hills in the real of the Uni
versity grounds, and the FIRE engines
from Oakland went out to the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, and, with the aid Of
citizens, barely succeeded in saving that
building from destruction. Yesterday
the FIRE was making its way toward Mar
tinez. The damage cannot he less than
$50, 000.-S. Z. Call Of Sunday.

tbs BAsr-BALLERs.-Ths Carson Ap'
peal is in ecstacies over the victory
which their Base Ball Club won owe

Tho fact is, Harry, our Virginia
players wore black cloth pants, which
hung too closely around the ankles, and
whenever they made 3 run, the " rari-

speed, aad they came out "short;"-

FAsrIpIous.-Some people are 80 par
ticular about their surroundings that
there is no getting along with them
In a new country like this, where every
man cannot have house to
himself, it is necessary for people to haul
in on the sharp corners of their natural
dispositions, and accommodate them
selves to at association, sometimes,
with those who are not exactly what
they fancy. We heard a man object TO
Peter lofts habit of carrying his change
Of socks, before and after changing,
in his pantaloons pocket, to be used &C.
casionally as n handkerchief. Another
man, up in thi, camp, had a bed in the
room with a man from Sonoma. The
Sonoma man had a habit Of sof,eniny
bis socks in the morning before putting
them on. He was in the habit Of going
to bed early, so as to give the sock, a
chance; and then instead of taking
them in shape after drying, and wear
ing them rights and lefts, like q Chris
tian, this man insisted on softening his
socks every morning. The way he did
it was by hammering them on the bed
post till they began to crack, then rub
bling them briskly in his hands-wash-
ing like Sir Jacob, with invisible soap
in impercsptibls water" Our friend
in the ne1t bed is a late riser. He
would be sleeping his best about sock
time, but the dust would wake him.
The dust each time filed the room
worse than the food of light that Ben
Adhem saw. This. thing was trouble
some, but rooms were scarce. Our
friend could get q good sleep 10 the
morning only by getting up in the night
and sprinkliug down Sonoma's socks so
they wouldn't dry by daylight. But
Sonoma, concluding that the roofleaked,
took to sleeping with his socks under
his head, aud 500 got the room to him

WHITE PINE ITEMS.
From III. Inland E~M;1-,s-Fhday.

lFrom the Inland Eiit-'S .rruay.
Nor. ABOUT THE SUSPENSION OF THE
FIRST NATIONAL BASK.-Tho suspension
of the First National Bank Was the all
absorbing topic of conversation in White
Pine yesterday. The excitement bad
somewhat abated from the night before,
but individual losses and such matters
were generally canvassed, and engaged
tho attention of almost every one we
met during the day. A committee de-
tailed for the purpose by the Grand
Jury examined the books of the County
Treasurer, VI. W. Ksles, and the county
funds on deposit with the bank, finding,
as we are credibly informed, everything
correct. So far as We have been able to
ascertain, the liabilities of the concern
in White Pine County do not exceed
$500, 900, if that much. We also have
it, on pretty good authority, that the
assets of the institution 10 this district
alone are largely in excess of the liabil-
ities-or about $500, 900.
AN Enthusiastically we strolled
into n place OF public resort on Main
street. Standing by the counter vas G
lady dressed in deep mourning, with
that pensivs aud melancholy look which
in a beautiful woman is so touching and
eloquent. Leaning upon one elbow and
with the d~elicately gloved fingers Of the
other hand beating upon the counter o
noiseless tattoo, she made o picture
which we desert wanderers ever coyet
to see. We were admiring this picture
shyly and wondering if any other land
could claim a fairer one, when suddenly
the lady reused herself from her fit Of
abstraction, and turning around with a
sleep-walker's look in her eyes, OK
claimed, They are id swindliug
thieves, every son of ab-h of them"
We left suddenly, ssdder and wiser.
We understand the lady (you may know
she was a lady by the remark she made)
had deposits in the National Bank, Ham
iltou Agency. .
A RuN.-In consequence of the sus-
pension Of the First National Bank, the
confidence Of depositors is somewhat
shaken, and yesterday there was quite
a run on the Agencies of the California
Bank, both here and in Treasure City.
Both "stood the press" unfinchingly,
however, and matters go on as usual
with confidence in banking institutions
materially strengthened.
MUcHLy ATTACHED. TO illustrate
how anxious persons who had lost by the
First National Bank failure were to get
even, it is only necessary to give the
following A business firm Of this city
owed the bank $1,000, and during yes
terday and the night before it was
served with garnishments to the amount
of Sl4,550.

OUR NEED OF FARM LABOR.

No country is more in need of com.
mon labor than the United States.
The immense area Of untitled land in
this country is calling for hands to de-
velop its hidden resources. We have a
suficisncy of skilled labor. What we
want more is physical force and its po-
tent endurance. Intelligent labor is
often arrogant, as it has the right to be
it dictates rather than follows the dicta-
ton of others ; in q word, it is ambi-
tious of control. The class now needed
is one that is willing to do the hard
| manual labor Of life with q %contsnted
spirit. To till our fertile acres is not
degrading, but few are willing to serve
in another's field. Our own country.
men labor patiently and we'll on the
Western prairies, but they all seek q
home for themselves, and are restless OF
the restraints Of poverty that compel
them to devote their time to improving
land not their own. So with the Ger
man element of our population. These
people come here not simply to escape
the oppression of monarchy, but to rear
with their busy hands a home under the
genial and protecting influence OF free
government. They, too, are ambitious,
nd are not long content with serving
Others. We ore glad therefore that the

i. to labor in tho various ields into which
! they may be distributed. The increased
wages which they can earn here will 10
duce many to leave their own country
where they receive only about four dol
lars q month. Their frugal and indus
trious habits will enable them 10 saw

The Chinese arc patient, willing ant
industrious. They are not insolsnt, bu
courteous. They do what is placed be
fore them chcerfully, and seem to know
that it is for them to obey and not t

lot, they are humble in it. They ar
: not meddlesome or quarrelsome, suffer

is needed, and will be welcomed in thi
