Senatorial fight. lie wrote a long letter to
his paper on Monday, in which he gives our
Placer chaps this dig under the belt:
FELTON, and Cole were checked, and they fell
back upon Hale of Placer. petition was sent
to Placer and circulated by Yule, imploring the
Placer delegation to come over to Hale, and on
Sunday, Ell. Craig, Selkirk and large delegation
came down, hoping to make Hale n prominent
figure in the contest. But he cannot get his own
delegation. The Cole and FELTON, factions are
so small that they cannot help him and he can
not help them, and stands as much show as the

IMPORTANT MINING CLAIM DECISION. .-Oi

IMPORTANT MINING CLAIM DEcIsIoN.-On
the Goth of October, 1870, II. Tangerman
and II. Eckhoff applied for a patent to 100
acres of placer mining ground, nearly ad-
joining the towns;te of Colfax, it being por
tions of sections 33 and 81, 7. Is n, Il. 9
L. This land contains within its boundaries
the Rising Sun quartz mine, 5000 feet, and
seventeen acres of land for convenience in
working, patented to the company May 1lth,
1870. On December 28th, 1870, Wesley
Myers and VIM. Hamilton filed an adverse
claim to said Tangcrman and Eckholf, and
an application for patent to 2,2OO feet of
the Lafayette lode. On the 7lh day of
January, 1871, J. IL. Neif, A. w. Sisson,
NJ. S. Humid and Cyrus 7. Wheeler also
filed an adverse claim to that Of said Tan
german and Eckholf, and an application for
patent to / 200 feet of the Colfax lode.
Tangcrman and EckhoH failed to show proof
Of the posting of notice and diagram on the
claim for ninety days, which is a material
part of the proofs required. The Commits
soner decides in effect that the application
for gravel mines cannot include lode mines
either patented or applied for, and in this
case the Lafayette and Colfax applicants can
90 on and perfect their titles and obtain pat
ents. Also, that if Tangcrman and Eckhoil
wish TO renew their application they must
have their ground segregated from that of
the Rising Sun, Lafayette and Colfax lodes,
and the surface reserved for marking pur-
poses. One point decided is that land ap-
piled for for placer mining cannot include
that held for lode mining, and one not de-
cided, which we wish had been, is whether a
mining patent covers the ground for any
other purpose than that described in the op-
plcaton Another question should be de
eided, and thai is, does patent for placer
ground include and carry the quartz veins
passing through it. We have given the
substance Of this case, as it is a matter of
some Importance to mining applicants.

ALFALFA IN THE HlLLs.-A thoughtful
farmer residing in the low hills east of Lin
coin sends us the following letter under the
above heading, which we think treats of a
matter of Importance to the farmers in those
low foothills
EDITOR OF THE HERALp:-I have taken
some trouble to inform myself as to what
would probably be the best kind of grass to
cultivate in the red hills and small valleys
in this section of the country, but shall now
only speak of Chile clover or alfalfa Within
the past year have visited several counties,
and putting together all have seen in cult
waited pasturage and hay, Chile clover has
my preference. | have seen it in Yolo county
in all the stages of its growth, FROM its first
appearance above ground, and in full bloom.
In Yolo have seen five crops cut from the
same piece of land the same season. What
the yield of each crop per acre was cannot
tell you exactly. but the hay cocks were So
close together that a wagon could only clev-
erly pass between them. am satisfied that
these low hills will produce it and perhaps
better than in Yolo county. as we have fully
twice the amount Of rain here that they have.
l believe that if properly cultivated alfalfa
in this section will produce twice the amount
of hay to be had from any other crop. So
well convinced am of this fact that am
now preparing to seed down ten acres in al
falfa this season aud give it a fair trial. If
any one has tried this alfalfa in these
foothills and my neighbors would be clad
to read the result in the HERALD. J.O.

Does she ? Is it a disgrace to her? Is
she the less true woman, less worthy
than she who sits in silk and satins, and is
vain of fingers which never knew any
work We heard this sneer few days
ago, and the tone in which it was uttered
betokened narrow, selfish, ignoble mind,
better fitted for any place than demo.
cratic country, whose institutions rest on
honorable labor as one of our chief corner
stones. It evinces false idea of the true
basis of society, of true womanhood, of
genuine nobility. 1t showed the detesta-
Bile spirit of caste, of rank, which GER
tain class among us are striving to cherish !;
a caste whose sole foundation is money,
and of the meanest kind of rank known
to civilization. Mind, manners, morals,
all that enter into the grand character, are
of no account without those social snobs !;
position, in their stilted ranks, is bought
with gold, and each additional dollar is
another round in the ladder by which
elevation is gained.
A matter of fact, is it more dishonorable
for the merchants wife to do her own
work than for the merchant to do his for
her to look after her house than for him to
look after his store; for the clerks wife to
expect as much money, more waiting on
and to go in as great a style as the mer-
chants. Is women for nothing but to be
tickled with feather aud pleased with
straw ? 1t seems the height of ambition
in some circles, to be, or proiessto be, not
only "above" work and look upon it as
a"disgrace," but to beignorapt even of how
work is to be done; aud if the
table is poorlyspread, if the housekeeping
is at skies and sevens, the "help" receives
maledictions without, but the "lady" takes
none Of thu responsibility upon herself
She looks into the kitchen she knows
how bread should he made or steak broiled
she knows when the -four is out or the su-
gar in ! Absurd "Help" may be bad
enough, but what interest can the girl in
the kitchen feel in the household economy
when the lady in the parlor has none. If
