TIE LEAD MARxEr.-In February,
1870, the United States Ordnance De-
partment held 4s,25a,34s pounds of
pig lead, which, as the war for the
Union had ceased, was no longer
needed. In answer to a resolution OF
the House Of Representatives, tho
Chief Of Ordnance, General Dyer, re-
ported, on February Sd, 1870, that this
lead ought to be sold in small quanti-
ties and at current market rates. This
course has been pursued, and 1t Is now
complained that for the last eighteen
months the United States Government
has been competing with private deal
ers and keeping the lead market seri-
ously depressed. 1t Is argued that the
Government which lays a duty Of ten
cents q pound on lead and imports its
own supplies free should not Interfere
with the regular course Of trade.

SPECIAL tothe GOLD HILL JEWS
DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

New York, Nov. 24.-The Tribune
of this morning says that an express
wagon loaded with trunks and other
baggage left Tweed's house in the even
ing of last Thursday, and that the Dep
uty Marshal Of the United States, who
followed close after, reported yester-
day that passage had been engaged in
the steamer City Of Brussels for five of
Tweed's family, and one extra berth
had been taken, which might not be
used. The passenger list at the Inman
office gives no corroboratiye evidence,
but 1t is possible that passages may
have been secured in some other form
than for family or six, to mislead sus-
picious inquiries. Officers think that
the removal Of baggage Is explained
BY the fact that Tweed wished to send
away his yaluables In advance and
then follow them. Tweed has not
made his house his residence since the
exposure of the Ring frauds. A prom.
nent politician, popularity supposed to
be owned by Tweed, said yesterday
| that within 4s hours events would oc-
cur that would startle New York. 1t
is probable that he knows more OF
Tweed's intentions than he wishes
confided to others.
NORWICH, Nov. N2i.-The number
lost by the burning of the steamer City
Of New London will probably reach q
or %.
PORTLAND, Nov. 24.-In the SUI
preme judicial Court yesterday, Judge
Topley gave judgment against Elder
Peck's bondsmen for over $4,000.
Peck was a defaulting State Treasurer.
The case goes up to full Court. =
New York, November 24.-Colonel
Mcdaniel, owner Of Harry Bassett,
replies to the proposition Of the owner
of the a c horse Sterling for n mile
and a half race in England in 1872, for
elO, 900, that Mcdaniel eau only con-
sent to having the race take place in
this country.
The prevalence Of the small pox
here is said to be due to the fact that
vaccination has been very much neg
lected. Tho Board Of Health from
lack Of funds was obliged to discharge
fifty doctors In the service Of the Sani'
tary and Health Department. If the
necessary funds are not soon provided
the disease must frightfully increase.
Much Is expected Of the Grand Jury
now in session. Charles O'Connor is
reported to have been before 1t yester,
day and been obliged to resign as a
member Of the Union Club. Mayor
Hall has not yet acted on the request
for his own resignation.
The owners of the steamer Florida
have addressed a dispatch to the Sec
rotary of the Navy, stating that they
have sent instructions to st. Thomas,
ordering the Florida home at all
hazards, and asking protection of the
Government.

A Bostblack'a Good Rsrtnno-His
Graudmsther Boqusaths Him Over
100000,

From tho Now York Standard, November 12.l
six years ago n boy, then only four
teen years Of age, left his home In
MIllwaht, Ireland. and worked his
why to New York. He left behind
ouly two relatives, his maternal grand
mother, then. an old woman, named
Armstrong, and his paternal grand
father, named White. The boys
name Is William A. w. White. He
arrived In New York about six years
ago without q dollar In his pocket, but
being determined to make q living,
and not finding anything else to do,
although he had received q fair educa-
ton, lie went to work backing boots
about tho Battery and Washington
street. After he had been at that
about two years, he added to bis busi-
ness BY selling newspapers In the eve
ming. Being a steady and economical
boy he saved In nearly six years al
most $4,000. which he had placed In
the Savings Bank In small sums. Two
months ago a gentleman, who had
been his regular customer In the boot
llue, oufloSu hlhh w b. w
Philadelphia, and lie did, and there
obtained 4 situation as assistant bar
keeper In Mr.. Coles saloon. White
had been there only two months when
Mr.. Cole showed him q copy Of the
Philadelphia Ledger with the follow
ing advertisement "e23,02S left to
William A. w. White, by the death
Of his grandmother. A letter Is In the
Philadelphia ~postoflce for him.
"That must be you, William" said
Mr.. Cole. White hurried to the post
office and found that he was heir to
.e23, 02S, ~bequeathed By his grand
mother, Mrs. Armstrong. The letter
also contained a draft for $4,000 In
gold, and a photograph likeness, by
which he was Identified. Fortunately
for him, he was in good hands, and
Mr.. Cole gave him money and advised
him to come to New York, to place
his case In the hands Of the British
Consul. White did so, and all the pa
pers necessary were safely lodged with
Mr.. Archibald yesterday.

Bon HAMrToN.-Deputy Sheriff Jas.
Natter, of White Pine, arrived in Eu-
reka last night, with this illustrious
parsonage. When e Pinto Station,
shortly after nightfall, Hamilton hay
ing succeeded in cutting off his irons,
leaped from the stage and made for
tall timber. The officer was on the
outside of the stage, but quickly dis
covering the situation, he made pur-
suit, and, after all exciting chase Of
two hundred yards, and the firing ofa
couple of shots In the air, succeeded In
bringing his man to time. Hamilton
had evidently had assistance In getting
clear Of his irons, when or where will
probably always remain n mystery.
On reaching this place he was assigned
to quarters ut Hotel De Van Alstine,
where he spent the night heavily
chained and properly guarded. Ham,
ilton having lived here for some time,
is personally known to many Of our
people, who, on hearing of his arrival
In town, were anxious to get n glimpse
at him, but the officers prohibited Wis
itors at the station-house.-Ewek

NEW York Fashions FOR MEN,
The New York fashion for men: Gen.
tlemen are not now considered dressed
for the opera without a "swallow tall
coat" white kid gloves, white necktie,
opera hat, aud small diamond or plain
fiat gold studs. Some of the young
men are again introducing white vests,
cut low and we'll open, made with
three buttons and wide rolling collar.
The effect for evening or opera wear
Is pleasing to the eye, and a relief to
the everlasting black suit. In very
bad taste some would-be fashionable
young men are wearing velvet collars
to their dress coats. A velvet collar
on any but an overcoat looks as II 1t
replaced o WORKOUT cloth collar--an
economical plan adopted only by
seedy young gentlemen.

What Grace Grcenweod Tanks Of
tho MormOn Women.
From a lotter Do the New YORK Times.

~. ~
From . letter 10 tho New York Times.l
You hear o good deal about that
"cross," from both Mormon husbands
and wives, but you only see the shadow
of it-in the faces Of the women. l do
not mean to Intimate that they all look
decidedly unhappy. There Is rather
In their faces a quiet, battling, mega
tive and abnegative expression, which
certainly Is as far from happy content
as 1t Is from desperate rebellion. Nat
urally, they are more alive to the out
side pressure Of public opinion, more
sensitive to the obloquy and ostracism,
which their position proyokes, than
men. Patient as passive as they seem,
they feel these things keenly : the
more intelligent among them, Mt least
and though upheld by a sincere, de-
vout faith In this strange delusion,
they have toward strangers q peculiar
Of %reticence, of mistrust, and almost
of repulsion. I do not wonder at 1t.
Their hospitality and confidence have
often been abused ; they have been In
truded upon by impertinent interview
ers, and their reluctant answers to per-
sistent questions published abroad,
with startling additions and dramatic
embellishments. Those l have met
appear to me, I must say, like good
and gentle Christian women. They
are slngularly simple In dress and
modest In demeanor. What saddens
me Is their air OF extreme quietude,
retirement and repression. But for
the children around them you would
think some Of them we're women who
had done with this world. l am told
that the wives Of even the highest Nor
mon dignitaries show little pride In
their lords. It were perhaps difficult
to feel much pride In the sixteenth
part of q man, as men 90. Even the
first wife of O wealthy saint betrays In
her husband and household, they say,
no exultant JOY of possession. An in-
vestment In q Mormon heart and home
must be rather uncertain stock for O
woman. I am assured, though, that
the second wife Is seldom taken with
out the full consent Of the first. Not
only are the poor woman's religious
faith and zeal appealed to, but her
magnanimity toward her sister-woman
out In the cold. 1t must be through
| great suffering that such heights OF
| self-abnegation are reached. The CRIT
cifxion Of the divine weakness of q
loving woman's heart must be a severe
| process. But there Is some sorry COM
fort In tho thought that for these poor
| polygamous wives there Is no wearing
uncertainty, no fsverlsh anxiety that
they arc spared the bitterest pain of
jealousy, the vague nightmare torture
Of suspicion, the grief aud horror OF a
final discovery, the fierce sense OF
treachery and deception. They know
the worst. Perhaps 1t is the "dead
certainty that gives them the pecu-
liar cold, still look l have referred to.
As to the Mormon men whom have
met, mostly leaders in the church, and
prominent well-to-do citizens, l must
say that they look remarkably care
free and even jolly under the GROSS,
Virgil, I believe, has somewhere the
expression, 20, three times and four
times happym Well, that Is the way
they look.

DEL1RrUM TREMENpoUs.-An old
resident, long addicted to frequent
swallowings, had to be locked up in
the station-house last night, to keep
him from smashing all the windows In

flies, striped and speckled toads, mon
strous and deadly basilisks, yenomous
vipers, horned frogs, anacondas with
mouths like the door of a saw-mlll,
whole armies of hungry rats-long and
lean, and innumerable snakes with IL
heads apiece. These Inconvenience
he had determined to remove, and
worked very hard to accomplish 1t.

Of perfectly harmless mice that had

MininE and Agricultural Intercst'

The San Francisco correspondent OF
the White Pine Ness says;
Tho prosperity of the country de-
ponds more upon tho mining than the
agricultural interest. The past has
been called q bad farming year, and
ships. finding no wheat Cargoes, have
sailed away In ballast to get guano for
other countries; but from tho rich
mineral developments Of Nevada,
greater prosperity has obtained than
ever from farming alone. The many
millions given us by the mines OF Ne
yada alone, obscure and neglected Q
State rs 1t is, has revived business In
this city, and inspired with q spirit OF
enterprise tho people Of the whole
State. Greater faith Is given to the
mining interest, and we may say n
new era is %inaugurated in the develop
ment Of the resources Of California.
Mining, as a business and without ex-
citement, will again take precedence =;
and agriculture Of higher order than
the present system will grow up with
it. The conviction has become i'm
pressed upon the people, that the
mountain region, where water Is at
tainable, Is preferable for tillage to the
valleys ; and many who bought high
priced farms In tho vicinity Of the
great cities are now getting back again
6y the old placers that had yielded
them tho golden ounces In years be-
fore. The broad valley and the fertile
soil, and the idea of ones own vine
and tig-tree, possessed attractions that
the fortunate miner could hardly re-
slst but all proved a delusion. One
says: ~ paid $40, 900 for my farm In
Santa Clara valley, and have worked
hard on 1t for six years, and by the
closest economy have only been able
to live and pay my taxes. Now l am
going back up into the mountains
where I made my money and can do 1t
again." Let miners spend their money
In making homes in the mountains, Mt
the same time pursuing the same sys-
tenn of development and economy that
Is practiced by the boosters of the COW
counties, and he will find greater
health, wealth and happiness than as a
farmer of the valley. A recent In
stance Is given with quite a flourish In
an agricultural paper. of the success OF
q farmer In Santa Clara valley. He
possessed forty acres, divided In four
fields, of orchard, pasture, garden, etc.
The product for milk, butter, pigs
calves, poultry, and everything else,
Is given in detail, tho aggregate for
the past year being 1912 for the toll
of the whole family. What miner
would consider nine hundred and nine
teen dollars and twenty-five cents for
q years work, worth Dragging aDout'
When the people of this section ao-
knowledge the supremacy, OF the mn
ing interest, aud devote all their eher-
gy to its development, them Will cease
making invidious comparisons. :
