Look to Your Interests,


The mines of Trinity county have been
worked about twenty years. 1t within bounds
to say that during that time twenty millions of
dollars have been mined out. This sum would
be about six thousand dollars for each man,
woman and child now in the county. 1t is un-
necessary to say that but little of this immense
sum of money now remains in the county. This
very gold dust dug out of the bowels Of the
earth with in the limits of old Trinity has played
no unmportant part in building up San Fran
cisco and other important towns in this State.
1t has fostered the agricultural commercial and
manufacturing interests on this coast. Further,
it has given powerful impetus to the prosper
ity of great commercial centers all over the
world, and largely upheld the national credit.
The money has been sent abroad for the purchase
of the necessaries Of life, for Injuries and un-
necessaries. Every now and then some one who
has accumulated fortune of the yellow stuff,
forthwith took his departure, taking his wealth
for investment somewhere else. And so Trinity
has been depleted of coin. The same process is
still going on, but we are glad to say, is becom-
ing unimportant so far as departures are con-
cerned. Those who leave the county now pur-
posing to better themselves elsewhere generally
return satisfied to stay. The evil to be cor
rected is the sending away Of much money in ex-
change for things consumed here What must
be done is the establishment of local manufact-
ures, and the bringing about of the production
Of everything among ourselves possible We
want to live npon one another nearly we
can and so retain the money here. There would
seem to be no particular Importance in the an
nouncement that an individual had commenced
the manufacture of gloves in this place. Let us
see about that. Not less than twenty-five hun
dred dollars worth of gloves, at cost price, are
consumed in this county yearly. Suppose they
were all made here. The material is a home produc-
ton add the labor and the whole amount, less

for circulation among us. We have before ad-

Of other counties for meats. Not a pound OF
beef mutton or pork which we consume but

We send abroad two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars yearly that need not be sent were all
branches of industry properly represented
Suppose citizens were to incorporate a
stock-raisng company establish soap manu-
factory and generally encourage similar enter
prises. 1t is very likely that they would be
found directly profitable, but even were this not
the case, an indirect influence would manifest it.

look to their interests they will cast about to
check this ceaseless drain upon our finances for

DEMOCRATS BEWARE To how many men who
esteem themselves leaders of the Democratic
party, has it occurred that the spirit Of legIsla-
tion Of the party in California and in New York,
and, perhaps, elsewhere, is very undemocratic
In this State, during the session of the Legisla-
ture recently adjourned, the tendency was to
legislate men out of office who had been elected
by the people, and to assume 20 themselves, or
confer upon the Governor, the right to substi-
tute others in their stead The New York
Democracy have legislated A. Oakley Hail. Major
of the city of New York, into a continuance of
his Office beyond its regular term. This kind
of legislation is too partisan to command the
confidence Of the people at large. True, those
legisated out of office in this State are Republi-
cans, and Democrats are appointed in their
place. But the act is manifestation of partner
ship, unworthy of high-minded, honorable men.
There is no Democracy in it. We do not a
" sumarkee about any of those thus removed,
but we do care something about the principle of
the thing. It is an exceedingly bad precedent,
one that may return to vex its authors. Its ten
dency is to unsette everything. If the Legsla-
ture may legisate one man out of Office it may
legisate all out, and supply their places with
their own creatures, or themselves, thus consti-
tuting themselves aristocrats and autocrats as
irresponsible were the Council of Ten of
Venice.-San Francisco Gall Dem.)

two colored men, one q Lacquer and the

and bring back their reports. They
went. and, We are informed by our
PomariaQ correspondent, have returned,

TheB!New York Press is responsible
for the following story: "In the spring
of 1866, when it was evident that the
Confederacy was on its last legs, Lee
being hemmed in ut Richmond, Daniel
Drew and Fisk chartered a fast steamer,
fitted her for sen, and stationed her eff
SandyiHook, ready to sail at moments
notice, and placed on board of her n
trusty agent. When Lee finally sur
rendered, the vessel sailed for England
with the greatest speed, and arrived out
three days ahead of any other vessel
The agent sold Confederate States bonds
short, and on the PRONUNCIATION of the
news, bought them in for nothing-and
Fisk says Drew and himself made by the
operation $4,000. 900, and that he has
been on the full tide Of prosperity ever
since"

story runs that tobacco grower had a

floor Of the building, he had slaughtered
q sheep, using an axe and block to be-
head the animal. Two little boys, sons
Of the planter, came about the building,
when the smaller one expressed desire
to be instructed in the mode of killing
the sheep. The larger boy told him if
he would place his head on the block, he
would do so. Boy No. l complied with
the condition, aud No. 2 fulfilled his
promise by severing No. Is head from

AMERICAN HYpERBoLE.-An natty little
book has just come over from London,
entitled "Reminiscences of America, -
by two Englishmen, which describes the
manner in- which the twain .rippled
through tho country, @Aat they saw in
the country, and what they, heardi in the
streets. AS instances OF the ,.hYperbole''
of the country, they record tho. follow
ing:
In describing the large trees OF the
Yosemite Valley, one said that s'it took
two men and boy to see the top of
them" One being asked by friend if
he saw certain mosquito on the weather
vane of the State House (D at st. Louis,
answered: Eyes, see, it winking." A
third, in describing the prices of car-
riages at Niagara, asserted that the shack
fale es are so high that the Falls are in
significant by comparison" Another
story is related, with the appearance of
truth, of boy who was watching his
school-fellows as they snow .balled an old
gentleman's windows. The old gentle
man rushed out of his house, determined
if possible to in1lict some severe punish
mont on the offender, saying, when he
caught the boy: "Now, you rascal, I'll
thrash you within an inch of your life"
Accordingly he began to beat him, when
the boy Immediately commenced laugh
ing, and continued until tho old gentle
man stopped beating him, with the ex-
clamation: "Boy, what are you laughing
at?"
"Well," said the boy. "I'm laughing
because you are awfully sold; I dint tie

While France plunges headlong into n
Republic through sea of trouble, Spain
seems to be slowly crystalizing into one
The difficulty experienced in obtaining
q satisfactory sovereign, was in itself
evidence of the existence of such ten
dency, and we were consequently fully
prepared to hear of the Republican de-
monstrations made in Madrid, on hear
ing of the late escapade of their Partisan
cousins. Gen. Prim has already thrown
out some hints indicative of his intention
to ride the storm when it breaks. Ser
rano will probably attempt no opposi-
ton, and SO, some bright morning, ere
long, we may expect to hear of the peace
full and bloodless establishment of the
Spanish Republic. The extraordinary
growth Of liberal ideas in the past few
years, as exhibited in the almost certain
erection of two leading European mon
arches into Republics, is not likely to
stop in its onward course. Ere long we
may expect to find its elements ut work
in other nationalities where now O re-
public is merely vague, unsubstantial
dream. Napoleon's prophecy, that be-
fore the lapse Of the present century,
Europe would be either Republican or
Cossack, appears to be about resolving
itself in favor of the former issue.

The Captain was an immense vessel, and
has been called one Of the finest war
ships that was ever afloat. Itwas ship
of 4,272 tons burden, and armed with q
battery of six 3O0-pounders. It was
moved by engines of 9OO-horse power,
and manned with picked crew OF 500
men. The armor which enclosed it, as
it turned out, with its fatal casing,
ranged from eight inches on the most
exposed portion of her hull to seven,

came less exposed. This huge man-of-
war was regarded masterpiece of me-
chanical skill, and was deemed invulne.

weighed down by the weight of his
armor, the Captain" yielded to the
weight cf the waves that broke over
deck and went down with its freight of
human souls. It seems that few only
