The mania for suicide has extended
to the children. In the town Of War
rem, Minnesota, lives Mr.. Eli Ellis,
whose daughter, a girl of twelve Sum-
mers, was the victim Of seltdcstruc-
ton. For some time she has had q
fancy for eating camphor gum, which
she would get whenever 1t came within
her reach. Aware of this habit, her
parents exercised a good deaf Of care
to keep things out Of her reach. and Il
short time ago her mother, having
occasion to use %strychnine, thought It
prudent to explain to her daughter
the dangerous nature Of the poison,
and to caution her against taking it BY
mistake. After this nothing more was
thought of it. The girl attended
school with the other children, and
went to the funeral Of Mr.. Green's
boy the other day, where she appeared
much afflicted, Y to q morbid de-
gree. She took the little sacks Of salt
which had been used to keep the eyes
OF the corpse closed, and put them In
her pocket, where they found
after her death. She told some of her
acquaintance that there would be
another funeral before long, aud on
Thursday, when she remained with
two other girls to sweep out the school
house, she babe them goodbye at
parting, and said she would never see
them again. After this she went
home. Her parents were away. She
got the strychnine, took a portion of
L, went out in the yard and told the
hired man what she had done, and In
fifteen minutes was dead.

An American who saw Paris burn

of its fury, spread itself more widely,
and broke out also on the left bank.
AS the flames mounted higher and
crossed their forked tongues in air,
men and women would wiring their
hands, crying: 'Poor Paris! Poor
France" They would clasp their fore
heads or breasts, bow down and bury
their faces between their knees, crying !:
Unfortunate nation!' Our ruined
country!' 'Toila the Commune" The

Atslast a collision seems imminent
between the legal authorities and the
misguided men who have, under cover
of a Miners League, stopped the work.
Ing Of mines at Sutter Creek, and CON-
PEELED all connected with them to sus-
pend operations. As 10 the question
of the merits Of the miners position at
the outset, we shall not NEEDLE with
that. They may or may not have been
justified In demanding a higher rate Of
wages. But so soon as they ceased to
recognize the contrary right Of the
mine-owners to pay what they chose,
they placed themselves In the wrong.
They have indeed behaved most
shamefully, compelling the engineers
In the Amador and other mines to
cease pumping and hclsting water.
The result Of this intimidation Is that
the mines are filling with water, and
that a very serious loss will be inflicted
upon the owners, in waste OF time,
suspension to the getting out of bull
lion, injury to the interior OF the
workings, and In many other ways.
The Miners League Is acting upon a
principle utterly bad and indefensible.
The rights OF no class Of men extend
as far as they are pushing theirs. No
man has a right to cay to another,
"You shall not work with so-and-so."
No mar has a right to say to another,
"You shall pay me such wages, or you
shall be ruined" This sort of thing
is cowardly, unjust, mean and base,
and demands the attention of the au-
thorities, OH pain of their own punish
ment. The Suffer Creek Miners
League must be taught they are not
autocrats ; that their employers have
rights; that property has rights ; and
that the laws are framed to defend the
few against the rutflanly intimidation
of organized bands Of lawless men,
Just as much as. to protect Society
against Individual aggressors.
One Of the San Francisco regiments
of the National Guard has ut length
been dispatched to the scene Of the
outbreak, and we trust that the miners
will be made to feel that they are not
omnipotent.

AN incident, says the Santa Cruz
Times OF June Goth, which nightly
a reporter disposed to be sensational
be wrought into q column or so, oc-
Cured recently In n suburban locality
of that town. A gentleman returning
from business rather earlier than was
his wont, was surprised to find his
house in darkness. Entering, he was
cordially received by his wife, who
gave as an excuse for being In the
dark that she was watching the street
by moonlight. The explanation was
satisfactory and the gentleman seated
himself upon the sofa beside his wife.
His foot came In contact with some
thing under the table which attracted
his attention. He caught hold of what
appeared to be a mans boot, and
hauled from under the sofa one Of his
bosom friends and ear neighbors. In
vain the man and his own wife pro-
tested that the scheme was devised
only to scare him. He belabored him
most soundly with a little cane,
and ended by assisting him-without
much ceremony-down the stairs and
into tho street, minus coat and hat.
What transpired further deponent
sayeth not. Moral-Don't try to
brighten your neighbors by getting
under their sofa while the wives are
around.

Overland Dispatches
SPECIAL to the GOLD HILL NEWS
BY THE CABLES.

BERLIN, June 23.-Serlous compli-
cations have arisen between Germany
and England, and severe dispatches
are passing between Bismarck and
Granville. The Government observes
an impenetrable silence on the subject
of the present difficulty, but Bismarck
has addressed a note to the German
representative In London, informing
him that tho Imperial Government de-
sired to acquire Heligolaud, and en-
towering him to make propositions to
the British Government for the pur-
chase of the island.
Earl Granville replied In the same
manner, saying England will not part
with Heligolaud, and that the British
Government could entertain no pro-
positions looking to the cession of that
island, upon which Bismarck again
addressed the British Government
through Count Bernstorff, declaring
acquisition of Heligolaud necessary
for the protection Of the German coast,
reciting rs IN instance the facilities for
coaling and immunity from attack
which the French fleet enjoyed at He
ligolaud, by which 1t was enabled to
blockade Hamburg and Paralize. the
commerce of the German coast. He
looked upon Heligolaud, on account Of
its close proximity, as German terri
tory, and Its possession by any foreign
power as q standing menace to Ger
many.
Earl Granville again replied that
England was only bound to consider
her own interests 4; that the wish Of the
German Government to acquire He
HIGHLAND did not constitute her right to
It, rs the island had never been under
German rule.
An imperative demand has been
made for the immediate payment of
the first installment Of the indemnity,
which 1t was agreed should be paid in
thirty days after the establishment
Of the Versailles authority.
PARIS. June 24.-There Is great dis
tress in Paris, and people are applying
for parish relief. It is calculated that
there are 24O, 1000 objects of charity.
Labor is scarce, and there is much un-
easiness relative to overdue rent.

A small frame house on new Sixth

dotte, was the scene OH Friday last OF
O romantic affair which terminated
somewhat tragically. Two good,
looking maidens of rather bronzed
complexion, whose names out Of dell
cacy we withhold, had become en-
gagged In prospective matrimonial ties
with two dusky youths. Friday night
last was the time appointed for the
event to take place. The Rev. Moses
Dickson vas present, attired In his
usual sombre clerical garb Of broad
cloth. The two blooming brides were
seated In blushing expectancy Of the
coming Of those whose names they
were soon to assume-but didn't. Tho
marriage feast was awaiting, while
friends of both parties attired In holl-
day costumes had gathered together to
do honor to the occasion.
Hour after hour came and went, the
clock tick-ticked of hour after hour,
while the dial hand kept faithful
record OF the faithless bridegrooma,
who came not to time, and yet they
came not. "Where are the boys!"
Whats got into them |" "Hope
they aren't killed !" These and many
other similar remarks passed between
the waiting friends. Soon a step Is
heard, a messenger makes Ills appear
ance and announces the astonishing
information, "The boys had left the
city !" had abandoned the happy and
~expectant pair, who retired weeping
to their room. The minister departed
for his home, the marriage banquet re-
manned undisturbed, tho marriage
vows uIspoken, Who can tell what
gloomy thoughts entered the minds Of
the two deserted girls as they wept
aloud In their despair.
Shortly after all the household had
retired, and everything had become
quiet In that Vicinity, a loud shrek
broke upon the still summer air; the
peaceful valley known as Irish Hollow
re-echoed to the continued unearthly
sQueals. A loud kicking and q break
Ing Of bed-slats led the affrighted
nefghbors to the scene of trouble. 1t
was In the chamber of the expectant
brides. There they found them kick
ing, groaning and squirmlng-a bottle
Of laudanum and q package Of NOR
phlne were upon the table and told
the trouble-ths girls were poisoned.

v;dual nature, 50 surely will the quail
ties of mind and heart that we cherish
in ourselves be reproduced in Others,

THE AMApoR COMMUNISTS.

One of those little episodes that will
occasionally occur in the best regula-
ted communities, Is now on the tdpts
in Amador county. It Is simply n
combination Of men who desire to set
law at defiance, because under it they
cannot carry ont their designs with
other peoples money. The miners of
the Suffer Creek District struck" for
an increase of wages, the proprietors of
the mines refused to aecede to the de-
mands, and the Leaguers drove all the
other workmen from the mines. Still
the proprietors held out and the strik-
ers stopped the pumps as q last means
Of coercion, knowing that the mines
would be ruined If allowed to fill with
water. The command to stop the pumps
was accompanied with a threat Of ''con-
sequences" If it was not needed. This
last act has had the desired effect. The
Governor has ordered out two compa-
mics of militia from this city mud two
more from Sacramento, who will pro-
| coed at once to the scene of action and
aid the Amador authorities In preserv-
ing the peace. 1t is reported that the
Amador Communicative number
IOO-have cut the telegraph wires be-
tween Latrobe and the mines ; also,
that they are armed and entrenched,
and are determined to retain posses
sion of the mines until their demands
are acceded to. There may be trouble.

Perhaps the irresponsible scrub
leaders of the Amador Communists
will now appoint a COMMITTEE Of

their picayune patronage If they don't

be on a par with the same small game
practiced against the GOLD HILL NEWS
but without any effect.
