TIE SILVER MONKEY WRENCH;
OR,
THE LOST BULL WHEEL.
4 Tale Of the Pipe Line and Transfers
Crusade.
The late September twilight was 10th
to leave the family starred, dim blue
heaven. Watts of delicious fragrance
tloatcd down over the town of Titusville
from the sweet scented acid works, the
hillside brewery, the golden Jungle of
sunflo~ers, and dew covered patches of
sauerkraut in the raw. Low above the
ragged line of forest that fringed kerr's
Hill, hung the young silver crescent.
Two lovers stand ut garden gate.
The woman's face is fresh and fair as
that of the Sistiue Madonna, and from
the same cause-paint, laid on by a
master hand. You can (if not near
sightcd) see distinctly the lustrous
light of the moon falls aslant her
slightly aquiline nose. The man is
handsome, too; tall and symmetrical as
telegraph pole, well shaped, and mus
cular as the sheet iron statue of William
Shakespeare on the Parshall Opera
House. and with a face Of graceful con
tour, slightly oval, like that Of Hub,
bard squash. 1t is Elsie De Ferguson's
voice that comes over the gate and
breaks the stiffness Of the cleaning.
"And So Paul, you have signed the
contract not to drill amy more wells for
thirty days?'
Yes! yes of course | have" he
murmurs, as he takes her hand in his
while murmuring his words, and at the
same time removing Il chaw of fine cut,
which he slyly hides on the gate post,
and stoops to kiss her white forehead
that glimmers in the moonlight.
But what ale you going to do for 4
living, Paul ?" asked the unsuspecting
maiden.
Elsie did not see the sinister smile
that fitted over paul's face us he heard
her question, nor did she catch the
muttered words, "three queens beat one
pair" that fell from his lips.
This is all Of the above interesting
story that will appear in these columns.

IT is difficult for San Francisco to get
over Mrs. Fairs acquittal. A week ago
her trial was the subject of II very able
discourse by DR.. Cunningham. He
thought, in her way that Mrs. Fair was
"a genius, and because she was one she
was acquitted. The world is "more
ready to forgive the crimes of n genius
than of IL blockhead," he said, and cited
Napoleon, Byron and joaquin Miller as
instances. But there were other rea-
sons than this, the public mind was
wearied with the long continued excite,
ment of her trial; the jury, perhaps,
was bribed, and Mrs. Fair was u very
beautiful woman, so beautiful that the
jury could only bring itself to believe
her insane-not wicked enough for
murder.

Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-03-23

HIS EXPERIMENTAL exchange tells
of an impecunious young chap who asked
the advice of the editor as to whether he
had better marry "a young and tender
angel who had never done her own wash
ing and dress-making." The editor ad-
vised him to do so by all means, and take
the chances on her learning. He said his
own experience led him to believe in
such things, for when he married, his
wife knew nothing of washing or ironing;
but she was q noble, self-sacrifcing crea-
ture, and in a few months she had be-
come so fond of the wash tub as to not
only do her own and husbands washing,
but that of several of their neighbors

GeoD DIGGINGs. - Wards mining
claim, on Oregon Gulch mountain, is the
largest and perhaps the richest claim in
Trinity county. After many years of
toll, and under adverse circumstances, he
has succeeded in developing a paying
gravel lead, that will attract the attention
of San Francisco capitalists years hence,
when water can be obtained in sufficient
quantity to work it to advantage. The
face of the claim at the present time is
six hundred feet in length and from forty
TO sixty feet in depth. The gravel is in
termixed with decomposed quartz and
volcanic ashes, which readily yield to the
action of the water without using either
pick or hydraulic. The yield in this
claim is astonishing, taking into consid-
sideration the small quantity of water
used. Singular as it may seem to prac-
tical miners, no bedrock, either false or
real, has yet been discovered in this
clam. Success to Jimmy Ward, the pi-
oneer miner of Oregon Gulch mountain.

fleece of the Angora goat averages more
than that from sheep and is more valua-
able. We intend hereafter to lay be-
fore our readers all the information we

A CURIOUS case of legal absurdity oc-
cured lately in Philadelphia, on the occa-
sion of trial for bigamy. The two wives
were both in Court, but neither was per-
mitted to tes tify against him. His first
wife could not testify, because she claim
ed to be his wife and the second one
could not, because the marriage Of the
first one was not proved, and there was a
possibility that the second one was his
lawful wife. The prosecution had dc :
pended upon the testimony of the two
women, and when that failed, had to con-
sent to a dismissal of the indictment.

What Dyspepsia may End In.

Indigestion is not dangerous, say the
faculty. Perhaps not in itself, while il
remains mere indigestion but look at
the consequence to which it may lead,
and often does lead when it becomes
chronic disease. A spark of fire is
small thing. A pressure of the foot will
put it out !; breath will extinguish it.
Yet it may fire a powder mill, or kindle
flame that will consume city. In like
manner indigestion may produce gastri-
tis, cancer of the stomach, congestion of
the bowels, apoplexy, liver disease, and
many other dangerous maladies. Is it
not wise, then, to check it in the germ :?
Nothing is more clearly and indisputa-
bly, established than that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will eradicate dyspepsia
in all its stages. The true policy, how
ever, is to extinguish it in the first stages
with this wholesome, powerful, and in
fallible tonic and Alternative. 1t is easier
to quench spark than fame, and it is
easier to cure dyspepsia when it is first
developed, than when it has made head
way by neglect, and become complicated
with other ailments. There is not the
shadow of a doubt that the btters are as
directly antagonistic to dyspepsia as wa
ter is to fire. There are thousands of
cases on record proving this fact. The
remedy is safe and agreeable. All the
liquors of commerce prescribed as stimu-
lants leave sting behind. But the sting
is taken out of the spurious basis of this
great remedy by vegetable medication,
and, moreover, the stimulant thus med
icated is of exceptionable purity. OF all
tonics taken as safeguards or remedies
for fever and ague, bilious remittents,
and other epidemics, it is the only one
that can uniformly be depended on.
