COLONIZATION FOR TIE PAClFIc.-John

worker in the business of demonstrating

very we'll reconstructed after all-is Or
ganizing q Bureau Of Colonization on
large scale to populate the Pacific coast
with families from the East. 1t is said
each family is required to have $1,000
to start with. Judge North founded in
this way the town of Northville( MIMI },
which was named after his:. 1t has now
4 population of over 4, 900. The present
headquarters of his new enterprise is at
Knoxville Tenn. Here is the result of
the efforts of an old Pacific coast resi-.
dent, who understands the country and
knows what he is speaking of. The
doings of Two such men as this one are
worth . dozen such immigration plans
as have bsen sought to be lobbied through
the present Legislature by men who had
better be at home and engaged in some
honorable occupation. Such men care
nothing about immigration or the wants
of the State. They are after fat salar-
les. and their efforts are directed toward
the accomplishment of some plan by
which they can do little work and secure
big pay.-Sac. Union.

TERRIBLI CArAsfRoPHE.-The tele-
graph under date of Ell Dorado March
l1th relates the following:
This morning At one o. clock the house
of A. Taylor was discovered wrapped
in flames, and when few Of the citizens
reached the scene they were Mortified to
learn from Taylor that his wife, eldest
daughter, aged thirteen years. and An
infant, we're yet in the cruel flames.
Superhuman efforts were made by Ed.
Ohan and others to rescue the lady and
her children, but all of no avail, and
death soon terminated their agony.
Ohan repeatedly dashed himself into the
burning rooms, and ~ often was liter
ally hurled back by the relentless ele-
ment. A subscription, amounting to
nearly $500, has been raised by the cit
liens of the town, which will doubtless
be increased by the people of the sur
neighborhood. TAILOR, al
though badly burned, will recover. A
boy eight years old is very seriously
burned on the face, hands and feet. A
little girl four years of age is also in .
very painful situation.
Ell Dorado is more familiarly known
as Mud Springs.

HAVANA Advices still continue to be
vague, contradictory and uoreliable.
All the stories are absurdly one sided.
There 10 no believing either side. The
Spauiards strive to bolster up their side
with transparent misrepresentation and
clap-trap stories and the Cubans take
every opportunity to magnify their con-
sequence and power-so far as their
stories 20, the evidence of one side
merely neutralises what is asserted by
the other. The Spaniards pretend to
exult over "6nal victories" while, At
the same time they are busy inyentinR
stories calculated to prejudice the Amer
lean people againstthe insurgents. The
last story is that . certain wing Of the
Caban army is reduced to seventy five
men and that they are cut of from es-
cape. This is followed BY sensation
report to the fleet that the Cubans are
dsnouncing Uncle Sam. All this is to
discourage recognition. On the other
hand Quesada makes the preposterous
statement that the rebels hold possession
of two thirds of the Island and that their
success is certain and that all that is
required to make tina: success immediate
is . plenty of guns and powder. One
conclusion and only one is to be deduc-
ed from all these conflicting statements
and that is tina: Spain is too weak to
conquer the Insurgents and that the in
surgents lack the strength to win their
No doubt three thousand
fresh American or English troops thrown
upon either side would speedily settle
the question of Cuban supremacy but
those additional, foreign endorsements
not being At all likely to be added to
either side, the prospect is of long
continued war, proftless and inconclu-
i've.

parties alluded to in the following which we
copy from Saturdays Reno Crescent:
A Grand Jury is now in session called, As
we have been told, to indict the parties whose
case was so summarily disposed of by the last
Grand Jury. If there is no other business
somebody should be held responsible for inn

necessity for the summoning of this jury and

A Donation Party.

Somewhere in Pennsylvania
there is a clergyman whose nomi-
nal salary is four hundred aud
fifty dollars a year.
But as it was six months in ar.
rears. the congregation drtermi ed
TO give him donation party, to
help him along,
It came off-the donation party
did.
The entire flock was on hand,
but the presents, were only six
rolling pins, pen-wiper, and a
quar- er of a peck of dried apples,
crop of 1869.
The minister, of course, had to
furnish refreshments; and the
company not only discouraged four
hams, three and a half pounds of
sixty cent butter, and thirteen
loaves Of bread, but they ate up
two pounds of sugar and all the
next winters preserves.
To crown all, four spoons
were missing.
The clergyman says he wants
to have just one more donation
party, and then he will close up
his business and begin life over
again as champion pauper at the
alms-house.
He is particularly down on one
sister who jammed herself full Of
ham and preserves, and enough
other succulent diet to keep the
entire family for a week, aud then
laid up against the wall pretend
ing to feel religious, and singing,
"There is rest for the weary"
He is willing to accept bets
that she will never weary while
there is any grub about-this sis
ter won't.
He would like to feed her for a
month on those rolling pins and
pen-wiper, just out of revenge.

Always Remembered

rll never forget thee, mother, dear,
While roaming o'er life's troubled main
Those loving words l used to hear
Will come to me in dreams again;
And soothe the spirits deep unrest,
That wearied with world of care
Of faithless friends, or cold at best
Will seek refuge from despair.

Though wind and wave their strength u.

Thy love my guiding star, rll fear
No storm nor bowling tempest's might.
But stem the food with earnest heart,
While low'ring skies in anger frown
And Fate's death dealing lightnings dart,
And Heaven with thunder-peals resound
I'll never forget thee, mother, dear,
But mem'ry like bird set free,
Will ever, be | far or near,
Return again with love to thee;
Content if it may nestle there,
No more on feeting wing to soar;
Gagged in from grief, and woe, and care,
A willing prisoner, evermore.

And still the packed audience
waited, for it was a prodigious oc-
casion in Bulls Corners, and one
in which every father of a family
was necessarily interested.
The rest OF the story can be
told briefly. About daylight the
jury came In, and Deacon Job,
the foreman, read the following
VERDICT.
awe, the jury, IN the case of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky
VS.. John Wheeler, ct al, have
carefully considered the points of
the several theories advanced. and
do hereby unanimously decide
that the game commonly known
as old sledge or seven up is en-
inently game of science and not
of chance. In demonstration
whereof it is hereby and herein
stated, iterated, reiterated, set
forth and made manifest, that du-
ring the entire night the chance
men never won a game or turned
a jack, although both feats were
common and frequent to the op-
position and furthermore in sup
port of this our verdict, we call at
tention to the significant fact that
the chance men are all busted,
and the science men have got the
money. 1t is the deliberate opin.
ion of this jury that the chance
theory concerning 'seven-up' is a
perniciOus doctrine, and calcula-
ted to infict untold sufferings and
pecuniary loss upon any commu-
nifty taking stock in it."
"This is the way that seven-up
came to be set apart and particu-
larized in the Statute books Of
Kentucky as being a game not of
chance but of science, and there
fore not punishable under the
law," said Mr.. Knott. "That ver-
dict is of record and holds good to
this day."
