RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

| How few people seems to know what ii
costs to run a newspaper. This Is an eJacu-
iaIion often heard in newspaper counting
rooms after the departure OF somebody who
has tried t" co"tscate paper. or got in a
puff of somebody on the strength of old
friendship or some imagination equally as
strong. BY some unaccountable mIsappre
henti"n of facts, there is large class ufpeople
| in the world who thinks that it costs little or
nnihing TO run newspaper, and that If they
| buv a copy from a newshoy, when too far
| from the office to come and neg one: they are
regular patrons and entitled to unlimited IA

EVENTS OF THE EUROPEAN
WAR

Two hundred thousand Frenchmen
and Germans have been killed; many
more have been MANNED for life; while
the wall of countless widows and or
phans throughout both countries rises
daily in the ears of the Lords of Hosts,
testifying against the unprincipled
ambition of rulers. The splendid and
imposing French empire, so threaten
ing in its outlook, and so dic:atoriai in
its diplomatic utterances, has faded
out of sight, and the republic has been
reinaugurated withOu; blOodshed. The
Emperor is a prisoner, while Victor
Hugo and Ledru- Rollin have returned
from exile. whittier he had sent them,
to share the functions of the provision
al government. His enemies no long
er fear his Resumption of power.
The first Napoleon was imprisoned
upon the rock of st. Helena, lest his
temperance should kindle again the
enthusiasm Of the French.
The third Napoleon is pampered by
his conquerOr with royal luxury, amid
the excavations of his late subjects.
The first Napoleon died with an I'M
broken spirit, hurting defiance in the
teeth of implacable enemies. The
third Napoleon is sinking into hope
less faulty, soo:hed by the plying
contempt of his eonquerors.

THE ROBBERY NEAR DAYTON.-The
following account Of the robbery near
Dayton night before last differs in some
particulars from that published by us
Yesterday in our Evening Edition.
Our version of the affair We obtained
from Sheriff Cummings, who had seen
and talked with Mr.. Crane. The &C.
count below was telegraphed to us last
night from Dayton and is minute
and apparently truthful: Last night
At dusk two masked men surprised
Mr.. and Mrs. Crane, an old couple
living about . mile from town, near
the Ophir mill. They entered sud-
denly and presenting pistols bound
and gagged the Old man. The old
lady, entering the room on hearing the
noise, was treated likewise, and hus-
band and wife were laid side by side
on the floor. The robbers searched
the house for two hours and tore the
beds open in search of plumber. They
said they had n doubt that there were
two or three thousand dollars in the
house. Meanwhile the men from the
Ophir mill commenced returning from
work, when the robbers presented
pistols to the heads Of the old couple,
to shoot If they made any
noise. At least twenty men passed
the house, which is not ten feet from
the road. When they had passed the
robbers continued the search and found
the earnings Of the couple, amounting
to $475; then they left. The man
loose and came for the Sheriff.
Officers are engaged in searching for
sOme clue for the discovery OF the
Enterprise, 2lst.

LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF JAS.
~. MARSHALL.

We have received from the publish
ers copy Of a handsomely printed
volume of lSS pages, entitled, 1.-The
Life and Adventures of James W.
Marshall, the Discoverer of Gold in
California" The eventful life of Mr..
Marshall is graphically written by
George Frederick Parsons, and is
printed in neat and geographically
quaint style by f. q. Jefferis, Sacra-
lnen,o. His career is traced from his
birth in New Jersey-hOw he crossed
the plains in lSi6-,O the present year.
The narrative is substantially his own.
The rapid growth of California is strik-
iagly illustrated by the fact that the
original dicoverer of gold at Suffers
Mill is still living and only about IS
years of age. The discovery referred
tn was on the 18th of January, lS4s,
and the incidents connected Herewith
are given in the following extract:
On the morning of that memorable
CAV, Marshall went out as usual to
superin;end the men. and alter closing
the fofe-bay gate, and thus shutting
Ofi the water, walked down to the tail
race to see what sand and gravel had
Teen removed during tine night. This
had heen customary with him for
sOme time, for he had previously en-
tertained the idea that there might be
minerals in the mountains, and had
oppressed it to Suffer, who, however,
OnIy laughed ut him. On this o. ca
s,On, having strOlled to the lower end
Of the race, he stood for a moment ex-
smining the mass of debris that had
Teen washed down, and at this juno
ture his eye caught the glitter Of some
thing that lay lodged in a crevice. on
n rifle of sOf, granite, some six inches
under the Wa or. His first act was to
s;oop and pick up the substance. 1t
WAS heavy, Of . peculiar color, and
unlike anything he had seen in the
stream before. For few moments he
stood with it in his hand, refiecting,
and endeavOring to recall all that he
bad heard or read concerning tho va
riOus minerals. Afier close examin-
. ion he became satisfied that what he
hold in his hand must be one Of the
three substancos-mica, sulPhurets of
copper, or GOLD. The weight assured
him that it was not mica. Could it he
of cOpper3 He remembered |
that that mineral is brittle, and that |
gold is malcable, and rs this thought |
passed through his mind, he turned |
about. placed the specimen upon fiat |
siOne, and proceeded to test it by strik |
ing it with another. The substance
did not crack or flake off; it sinply
lent under the blows. This, then, WAS
gold, and in this manner MAS the first |
gold found in California.

SEVEN DEMOCRATIC CoNGREssMEN IN
TENNESSEE "A correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, says:
1t is not absolutely certain that the
Democrats will carry every district in the
State, but, with the exception Of May
nard's district, where the chances are
about equal,it is highly probable that they
will, The Republicans have no possible
chance except in the three East Tennes-
see districts, and not much in them.
These districts are the First, Second and
Third, now represented by Butler, May
nard and Stokes. Stokes will, in all
probability, be the Republican candidate
in the Third district, and to illustrate his
brilliant chances of success, it is only
necessary to refer to- the fact that at the
gubernatorial contest last year Senter
beat him in the thirteen counties compos-
ing this district, over eight thousand
votes"
