DISPATCH

SAN Francisco, Dec. 14-3P. NJ
In the case of j. Alexander Yoell
against the Manhattan Insurance Com
pany, for $4,000, for the burning and
loss of a mill in Santa Clara county,
to-day Judge Dwinelle rendered an
important decision. The defense set
up was that a clause in the policy pro-
vlding that any suit on the same must
be commenced within q year from tho
loss, which was not done. The point
at issue. was whether the time should
date from when the fire took place or
the time notice Of the loss was given
to tho company. The Court held that
the year commenced at the time notice
was given, and the demurrer Of the
defendants was accordingly overruled.
Passengers from the City of Mexico
by the Constitution from Acapulco,
report the road between the City and
Acapulco open and the country through
central Mexico quiet. The revolution
lists still hold Mazatlan and are forti-
flying 1t to resist On expected attack
from the Federal forces. Sonora IL
quiet, the revolt having been q mere
plundering affair quickly suppressed.

The story runs something after this
wise Some years ago, when Califor-
MIA was sending to tho East specimens
of onions which were u foot broad and
squashes weighing one-fourth Of o ton,
the American Museum in New York
had an ostrich, which, to the great mis-
fortune of pathological scientists, on
one fine Summers day kicked the
bucket. Barnum had it nicely picked
and dressed and sent 1t to a Washing.
ton Market man, who hung It on his
stall labeled "California turkey,
weight 40 pounds" 1t was some
time thereafter before any special
mention was made of the great size
and weight of California vegetables.

been discovered that the British Gov
eminent completely outwitted the Adj
ministration on that party treaty of
Washington, providing for the APP
pointment of arbitratora and that de-
cision to position and Interests of the
former will be the result of the Gen-
eva Conference, only two of the five
arbitrators being friendly to a Repub-
lican form of Government. 1t Is said
that the upshot Of the whole will be
the reopenins Of the Alabama dispute.
The Spanish Government Is anxious to
bring about a complication Of this
kind, and Is supposed to favor Eng
lands n~on-liability for tho escape OF
the Alabama, because she desires to
hold the United States responsible for
the escape of the Cuban privateers and
the protection given to the Hornet and
Florida. The subject will be ventil-
ated in the House in a few days:

And louder echoes laughter sweet.

Meath rosy lip and dropping lid,

Deemed idle fancy. safely hid.
He sweeps tho t:.inSs, and hopeful youth
Looks fearless out on coming years;
There lie the golden days Of truth,
Undimmed by Cloud OF leadsn fears.
The d.mples, half efaced, cnew
The careful mothers wasted check
Az Autumn leaves, made bright with dow,
A borrowed beauty sometimes seek.
Ho sweeps tho strings, and saddened heart
Dwolls In the strain that brings her peace
Dreams OF the joys that never part,
And bids awhile her sorrows cease.
The priest lays law and Ru5ric down,
And sheathes his text-bosprinkled sword;
Already sees the harp and crown,
And hopeful waits the coming Lord.
He sweeps the strings. and at tho sound
The old man by he lresldo stirs-
Lifts palsied head TO look around,

And young tcars rise In aged eyes,
And once more lives the golden past.

whose "little faith " induces them to

ob.ad for a time when the Comstock
,bsll cease to pay expenses, to say
nothing of dividends, when there snail
be no further hope for the lower levels
and no more pay-ore lett In the upper
levels of our mines. These old settled
GROWERS hardly like to acknowledge
even the great and important develop
msnts of rich ore at the lower levels OF
the Crown Point and Belcher Mines
and 1t would be quite difficult to make
them realize the fact that the present
aud future mining prospects, not only
along the Comstock, but throughout
the State, are better than they have
been for years.
Prospecting in the Virginia section
Of the great lode Is being actively car
ried to a much greater depth than ever
before, and the deep shafts OF the
Ophir, Gould S Curry, and Hale q
Norcross are confidently expected dur
ing the coming season to develop SIM
liar bodies Of ore to that Of tho Crown
Point. The same may be said Of the
great Imperial-E Empire shaft. The
milling capacity along Carson river Il
being brought to moro than double
what it over was before, and good ore
being plenty, with the rise Of Carson
river, will commence a yield Of bull
lion never before known In the history
Of this section. Meanwhile, the devel-
opments In the way Of rich and paying
mines In the eastern and southern por-
tions Of the State continue to be Of the
best and most encouraging character,
and when the impeding SHOWS and
storms Of Winter shall give place to
advantageous weather and good roads,
the mines of Phoebe, White Pine, Eu-
reka, Salt Lake, aud other favored To-
calities, will also send forth a bullion
yield which will astonish the world.

Only four years ago the whale fisheries
Of this country employed $3.50 vessels,
but since that period the number Of the

In a single year after the time named

In the succeeding year there was a di-
