A ROYAL HE1R.-As faithful chron-
lclers Of passing events, we must not
omit an occasional mention of impor-
tant matters pertaining to the "plumed
riders of the desert" Captain Jim Lo,
Chief Of the Shoshoncs in this diocese,
wa, yesterday made a happy father.
Mrs. Captain Jim, Of course, ofllciated
on the occasion. Tho event transpired
in a "wickiup" on the hill west or the
Phenix Smelling works. When We
saw the royal sire, with his hands ill.,
serted to the elbows In a dilapidated
pair of Charley Parker's cast-of pants,
bis blue swallow-tailed coat (minus one
swallow closely enveloping his manly
breast up to the chin, and his three
story plug, Through which had shone
the light Of other days" jauntily re-
clining on his massive brow ut an
angle Of about forty degrees. he looked
the picture Of perfect contentnent.
and apparently was IS happy as Dick
Swivel on the occasion Of his marriage
with the Marchloness. There a be
no doubt that the Captain felt his oats
Yesterday, as 1t was certain that he
assumed an air Of unusual dignity
when no informed the folks at the
Turner House that Mrs. 10 would be
compelled to let the washing for the
establishment lay owe for n day.
Like the G. D., the royal heir Is o

burn locks.-EmeEd Sentinel.

TIE OMIsH SEcT.-Tho Grass Valley
Union has been told that "in Miffln,
Juniata and Snyder counties, Penn,
there are large numbers Of q singular
sect called Omish. These people
somewhat resemble the Dunkers In
their religious belief; but their Gus
toms Include many peculiaritles char
acterlstic Of themselves alone. They
exceed the Quakors In their simplicity
of dress. The men fasten their attire
with hooks and eyes, and look upon
buttons rs m abomination In the sight
of the Cody. The Onish girls wear
a blue cotton dress, the waist of which
comes just below the armpits, while
their heads are covered with close
fitting white skull caps. They have
no poor, and are not only thrifty but
charitable, never refusing to entertain
q stranger without money and without
price. They forswear all things that
partake Of worldly vanity, practice
the right Of baptism, immersion, and
celebrate tho Last Supper In mutton
BROTH" The foregoing Is precisely
true, all except that. relating to "the
Lords Supper in mutton BROTH" After
worship, which Is had In private farm
houses, a big dinner Is given, consist
Ing In part Of bean soup, and all who
have come to meeting are expected to
eat, not as a religious rlto, but as a
natural requirement., and as q sign Of
hospitality from the householder and
his brethren. The sect has been In
existence thirty years, and its shad-
bcllled. adherents own a great deal Of
the best land in Penusylvanla.-Oak-

The FREsuET.-The heaviest rain
storm that we have ever experienced
in the State Is the one prevailing at the

last night about seven o'clock, and
the heavens have wept c~opiously and

indications of letting up for the next
forty-eight hours. The "sluice heads
of water running down the cutters on

DEPARTURE OF MEERs.-C. F. Meers,
the accused wife murderer, who was
discharged from custody Monday, left
for parts unknown yesterday. He was
released through the exertions of his
counsel, r. NJ. Beatty, a talented and
rising young lawyer OF this city, who
applied November 4th for q writ OF
habeas corpus, which was not granted.
Mr.. Beatty was more successful Mon
day, and had the professional gratlfl-
cation of bringing his client from the
gloomy prison cell. In speaking Of
the Meers case from the time the news
of his wlfe's disappearance first
reached us till now, we have avoided
saying anything that would create
prejudice against the prisoner, and the
many conflicting stories he Is known
to have told regarding his wife's dis
appearance, were passed over. He Is
free now-and If innocent Is to be
pitied for the Imprisonment lie has I'M

poor, weak, defenseless woman, he Is

Tue SroRM IN OREGoS.-A Portland
date Of Friday says: Tho storm at
Astoria during Sunday, Monday aud
Tuesday appears to have been by far
the most severe experienced In that
region for years. The damage to ship
ping has been quite heavy, and the
wharves ut Astoria suffered to n con-
siderable extent. The steamer U. S.
Grant, running between Astoria and
Cape Disappointment. parted her lines
and was driven on Rock Island, where
she went to pieces In \ short time.
Two Of her men escaped In a small
boat, but nearly persisted from cold.
A report was In circulation this MORN

Live Yankee had drifted ashore at
Coos Bay, but 1t has not yet been
traced to a reliable source. The storm
has moderated here, and 1t is now rain

ALIENS At THE BAIL.-The New
York Express gossips In this way :
"The Prince at the ball sloshed
around as Independently as q West
erner in a steamboat cabin. The I'M
preston was that he had a revolver or
two In his belt and was satisfied to
clear out the whole c%oncernif required.
He danced pretty much as a Wssterner
would dance, going through the figures
with n looseness very refreshing. and
ut times mixing up his partners most
bewilderingly In its subtle mazes. In
the pauses, when more Nase and court
ly Princes would have simpered at
their partners, he drew In a huge
breath through his royal expanse OF
lung, and caressingly fondled his
growing m~ustache."

Pottsville (Penn.) Journal says:

Pottsville PENN Journal says:
A German named John G. Burnhart,
employed rs teamster for a Tamaqua
firm, went to Hometown with his
mules for the purpose Of delivering
beer, and while descending the Hone
town hill, on the return trip, leaned
over for the purpose Of working the
brake, and in so doing lost his bal
ance and fell down upon the double
tree, in which his foot caught. The
wagon pushed the mules, and they
started on a run, dragging the unfor-
tunate man all the way to Taggerts-
vile, n distance of about q mile, over
tho rough, frozen ground. When
picked up the body was lifeless, and 1t
was found that q greater portion Of his
head had been ground of OH the hubs,

HE INDIAN QuEsTIoN.-There Is a
marked change In the tone of the East
ern press upon the Indian question.
Many of the leading papers finding
they had been imposed upon by Mr..
Colyer, in his report of affairs IN Arl-
IONA, have turned upon him with much
severity. The Boston newspapers,
since the death Of young Loring. have
discovered that the Apache Is not the
amiable and peace-loving~ creature MI.
Colyer would make him out to be.
Even the New York Tribune now says:
Mr.. Colyer has no intelligent views
upon the business he has undertaken
to deal with" His (Colyer's) asser-
ton that tho people Of the frontier are
opposed to his policy because it will
reduce the Indian appropriations, can
have no weight when the fact Is gener-
ally known, as It Is In Washington,
that under the new Reservation policy
In New Mexico and Arizona, the Sec
rotary Of the Interior recommends ap-
preparations for supplies for the In
dams three-fold ~ large rs any here
tofore made. VIII the Sacramento
Union make a note Of this? 1t is not
likely that the Indian question will DO
fully ventilated in Congress until the
dobate upon the annual appropriation
bill, which will probably occur In Feb
ruary. The New York Herald says
Mccormick, of Arizona, will lead

possibly only advocate war so far Us it
Is absolutely necessary for the protec-
ton of his constituents, as lie wishes
to have a fair trial Of tho new pro-
gramme set forth in Gen. Schofield's
order. Thus far, Mr.. Mccormick has
met the attacks upon the people Of
Arizona In n cool and polite manner,
and no has the confidence of the Ad-
mlnlstratlon and of the public to an
extent that must be quite annoying to
the C~olyerites. He Is entirely ia
miliar with the subject In hand, and,
If made conspicuous in Congress this
Winter by virtue Of his representation
Of Arizona, he will be found ready for
any emergency, and unawed by any
amount Of official or unofficial preju-
dice and Observation-Disclosures

IFrom Enc Eureka sentinel

From tho Eureka Sentinel
Professor j. E. Clayton, one of our
resident mining engineers, has shown
us specimens Of the lower Silurian
fossils, found In Eureka, White Pine
and Schell Creek districts. These fos-
sils consist mainly of trilobites and
lingula shells. which arc pronounced
by Professors Whitney and Lecompte,
Of California, as belonging to the
oldest fossil-beds known. Professor
Clayton says that nearly all of the
most valuable mineral zones of country
rock In Eastern Nevada belong to the
Silurlan age, and that deposits of ore
In the devonian and carboniferous Sc
ries Of rocks are exceptional and unre-
liable. A careful study Of the Silurian
rocks, including shales, quartzite and
limestone, in connection with the por-
phyry and granite associated with
them, rs eruption dykes, ETC., Is Of
great importance to the vast mining
Interests OF our State as a thorough
knowledge Of the subject would un-
doubtedly lead to the demonstration

A Cincinnati correspondent of the
New York Herald writes thus of
Judge Chase, in his recent visits to
the Metropolis of Ohio, his old home:
Years ago, when Salmon p.
Chase camo to Cincinnati, his rccep-
ton was of that character which is
always given a man whom the people
recognise as q loader. He was re-
ceived with proper honors at the
railroad depot. His room at the
hotel was constantly overrun with
visitors, and he was always given an
opportunity to address the masses.
The times have changed. Mr.. Chase,
with tho additional honor of chief
Justice upon him, comes and goes,
and nobody seems to take particular
notice Of him. The local newspa-
pcrs announce his arrival in the city
column, just as they would the ar
rival of a corn doctor or some travel
ing mountobank. As late as 1868
there was such thing in this state
rs "Chase Republicans;" but they
have we'll nigh ceased to exist, and
now you can scarcely get man to
confess that he ever was u "Chase
Republican" During his recent WIS.,
it here the chief Justice kept himself
very retired. After staying few
days at tho hotel, he accepted the
Inequalities of a rich, retired mer-
chant few miles from tho city.
Here he remained in comparative
seclusion, seeing only a few old pcr-
sonal friends, and consulting with
Wash. Mclean and some of the lead
ers of the "new departure move
ment,"
