a sober and Industrious man, went to

was afraid he would do something des-
perate. His neiShbor advised him to
90 to his wagon and his work. He did
not heed the advice. but went home,
and shortly after, loud talking WAS
heard by those living next to them, anu
soon Mrs. Godfrey was seer running
out OF the house from a back. door and
down some steps, blood streaming
from her face and neck and staining the
ground rs she fled. The husband was

lived together again. He formerly

BADLY INJURED.

On Sunday morning l*st, says the
Phoebe Record OF August 2lst, q well.
known citizen, Mr.. J. Il. Clark, met
with n serious mishap through the
vicious disposition of a man named
James Quigley. 1t appears that Mr..
Clark and Quig'ey were standing a
the head Of q pair of steps leading
from the yard back Of John Lynch's
saloon, arguing upon a leading ques-
ton. who should pay for the drinks,
Quigley being Intoxicated and very
boisterous, while Mr. Clark. on tile
other hand was of a very quiet nature:
He proposed to leave the aforesaid
Qulgley to himself. As Clark started
to leave, Quigley grabbed him, and
being a stout, strong fellow, ne held
Clark with q vice.llke grip. Mr.. Z.
e%ndeavored to strike him. but before
he could recover himself Quigley
threw him headlong down the steps,
throwing his shoulder out of place and
injurlng his lett hand very severely.
Mr.. Clark's friends Immediately came
to his assistance and carried him to his
residence in a helpless condition. He
has received the best attention SO far,
and ere long We hope to see his sniii-
Ing c%ountenance on the street. An or
ticer arrested Mr.. Quigley and carried
him to jail, where he will board n snort
time ut the county's expense.

THE WHEELER EXPEDITION.

This Important expedition, under
the direction Of the United States Gov
eminent, which started July 25th from
Camp Douglass, near Salt Lake City.
was organized for the purpose of ex-
ploring the public domain In parts Of
California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
In 1871, Lieutenant George NJ. Whee-
Ter of the U. 5. Engineers, was sent
out with n corps Of thirty-one assis-
tants, including astronomers, topogra-
pliers, geologists, and collectors of nat
ural history specimens, to explore the
region in question, to prepare accurate
maps, and to ascertain the facilities for
making railways and common roads.
The means Of transportation consisted
Of two pack trains, one composed Of
fifty, and the other Of forty mules.
Tn Q expedition started on May Sd,
1871, from Halleck Station, Nevada,
on the Central Pacific railroad. The
desolate region OF "Death Valley"
Nevada, was explored under circum-
stances Of extreme peril, and three
routes were examined for railways run.
ming north and south between the 81
ezra Nevada and the Wahsatch Noun
tains. Large collections In natural
history aud ~mlneralogy were made,
aud extended magnetic observations
were taken. About three hundred
Photographic negatives were taken OF
the scenery Of the Colorado canyons,
Of the mining districts, and Of striking
geological views. The great necessity
In mapping these wild regions Is the
accurate establishment Of astronomical
stations, and Lieutenant Wheeler, In
his expedition of 1871, located many
stations, and deter mined the longitude
OF nine Of them by mean OF the tele-
graph. The stations were permanent
ly marked by stone monuments for fu-
ture reference. This first expedition
was so successful, that, upon the re-
commentator Of the Secretary Of War
and of General Andrew A. Humphrey,
Chief Of the Engineers, Congress made
al appropriation Of sc~venty-five thou
sand dollars for the further prosecu-
ton of this survey. On his second ex-
petition. Lieutenant Wheeler has as
large n corps aud ~ we'll equipped \
train as last year. but his su~bordinstes
have been changed. The field OF work
will embrace Utah, Nevada and Ari-
IONA, and astronomical stations are to
be located on the main line Of travel
from East TO West.

BRAVE OLD SCRUB.

August 2lst, tells the following:
An old heather who occupies the
premises In the rear Of Taylor's build
Ing. and who rejolces that he Is d vete-
ran soldier In the Christ Brigham faith,
gave a fit illustration of the refining
and eleyatlng influence Of the blessed
religion, on him. He first engaged In
abusing his step-daughter, but finding
vituperous language entirely too weak
TO express his sentiments. he savagely
seized hold Of her and hurled her out
OF the the house with such brutal VEN
geance that It Il almost miraculous
that she was not seriously injured.
Not satisfied with this fiendish express
sion OF his hate, he further abused the
frightened woman and threatened to
kill her. He then threw the trunk Of
the step-daughter after hpr and seleo-
ted tho old lady As his next Victim,
whom ho severely beat. Having thus
satisfied his brutality on the two HARM
less inmates Of the house, he glorlously
ciimaxed his fury BY frantiUally rum
nihg Into the yard. and with q bravery
mat deied oppodtion, cutting down
Ine CLOTHES lines Of two other women.

ROUGH OLD DOSE.

From the San Francisco Chronicle, Aug. s.
DR.. Rotanzi, al Italian physician OF
thi. city. lately performed an opera.
ton which will attract the attention oil
the profession and the public. Tho
facts are these: Some time ago a
sleight-of-hand performer named Clau-
do bones, while under the Influence
Of liquor, gave an exhibition OF hiS
skill in the art Of legerdemain. Among
other things he swallowed two stones,
and made his audience believe that he
could cast them up again at Will. He
swallowed the stones easily enough,
but was unable to cast them gu after
rere tied efforts. The stones remained
ten days In his stomach, and at length
Inflammation set In. During the time
he did not consult n physician, but was
finally compelled to do so, and called
upon Dr. Rotanzi. The Doctor heard
the statement OF the foolish man, and
ut once went to work to extrtcate the
stones. Medicine Of various kinds,
and poultlce5, were administered, the
physicla3 believing It impossible to
fluid the stones by any surgical opera
ton. After twenty-seyen days OF pa
tieut waiting the first stone was dis.
charged, aud upon being measured was
found to be over u inch long, anu
weighing about II ounce and u hall.
I,s delivery gave the patient great ease,
but he informed the Doctor that the
other was much larger. aud of peo!i,
liar shape. The medicine was Still
continued, and OH Saturday the second
stone was extracted, which upon meas
urement, was found to be full two
inches long, rectangular in shape, anu
we should say weighed about two
ounces and n half. Upon thlSsuccess-
full aceouchsment de pierre the patient
oreathed more freely, and, under the
circumstances, may consider that he
had a narrow escape from being lit
orally stoned to death. The stones
were IN his stomach for over a month.
I'VE may add that the larges, stone
rested In him precisely the same time
that Noah's ark rested on the noun
tains, namely, forty days and forty
nights. The patient IL still confined
TO his bed, somewhat weak aud ex.
hausted, but will soon be all right.

ALL men desire to become wealthy.
at least all who have a proper ambl-
tion, but Americans have an undue
anxiety to be made rich suddenly.
They are not willing to toll day after
day, and save dollar BY dollar, as their
fathers did. No, they must get rich
by some speculation or other ut once ;
hence arises the numerous failures and
the great number Of i%mpecunious indi-
vlduals that may be found in II
midst. Thirty years since, a man Of
mature age, who had not contriped to
put By u goodly sum to make his last
years rs comfortable as possible, would
have been considered thriftless, aud
looked upon with disrespect and a
feeling Of commiseration. To-day
you caa see men OF fly and upwards,
who are without 8 dollar, buoyed up
with the hope that they will soon
make a lucky hit and become wealthy.
We hope they may.

SAN FRANCISCO gold NINE.

From tho San Francisco Chronicle. Aug. IS
Some little excitement Is felt In the
city at the curious developments In a
hitherto neglected gold and silver
mine, which has been worked to some
little extent by a party Of Mextcans.
The mine Is located In the San Bruno
range, upon the ranch "NisitaciOn
Guadalupe y Rodeo Viejo," In the
northern part Of San Mateo county,
about a mile and a half from the Elev-
en.mile House, on the old san Jose
road, and not more than twelve miles
from the City Hall of San Francisco.
1t was discovered some three years ago
BY a party Of Mexicans, who obtained
permission from the owner Of the land
to work It without charge. They have
since been working 1t In a quiet way,
taking out the orc and carrying 1t
away without attracting much atterl-
ton. They have worked down to n
depth of 800 feet on the vein without
using a stick of timber In any shape,
ascending and descending OIL steps cut
In the rock by q series or zigzags rum
ming from es~taeions, about thirty feet
apart, and carrying out all the ore and
waste rock In rawhide baskets. or
cargas, OH their backs. This method
of working a mine Is probably the
most primitive known, aud could only
be followed by men who are working
for themselves, and content with the
most moderate returns for their labor.
The ore IL a curious conglonlerate mix
ture Of c~rystalized quartz. iron pyrites,
copper sulphurets. peacock "copper"
and indurated clay, with slaty matter
intervening In places, and assays very
lrregularly In gold and silver. A
woman who has lived lear the mine
for many years says that the miners
have realized from 800 to $3.50 per
ton from the ore, but assays made In
the city within the past week only
showed 50 90 per ton in silver aud u
trace of gold. The ore differs very
much In appearance, no two specimens
Of any size being exactly alike; but
the amount of copper-stains Observable
OIL that coming from the greatest
depth lead experts to the belief that II
there L. u permanent deposit Of any
kind Of metal there, 1t will prove to
be q copper mine In the end.

THE STORY OF " slRsYRA" M0DERHIzED
ALMOST A FUNERAL.

Yesterday Charles Thompson. an
employe of the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad, and his wife. only late
" married. treated himself to n little
game OF hide mud seek for pastime.
When 1t came Mr.. Thompson's turn,
he resolved to hide where there was no
possibility of discovery. At the signal
to COME" Mrs. 4. began to look
eagerly from place to place, but no.
where could her husband be found.
The house was ranacked from CARROT
to cellar. A tour around the premises
was made, outhouses and fence-corners
examined. but the truant was not to
be found. Mrs. Il. became alarmed aud
called loudly for her husband. but
there was no response. A half hour
Wus spent In truitless search, when she
Determined to make a second search in
the wardrobe. She had tried the door
once before, and finding 1t locked,
could not believe that he had not HID
den himself within. However, the
opposite door WAS opened, and eau
tiously she Inserted her hand, when It
came In contact with human hair In
the midst of the clothing. She called
the name Other husband. but there was
no response. The wife, Mortified at
the thought that her husband was dead
and locked up in the wardrobe,
screamed and raj to a neighbours. The
lady and gentleman quickly ran In and
pried open the door, when Mr. Thomp-
SON was discovered doubled up In a
halt-sitting posture, cold, m~otionless,
and to all appearance dead. DIR. Grit
nth was sent for aud the body was
taken from It's hiding place and
stretched upon a bed. The pulse was
examined. but no beating could be
felt; respiratlons had ceased, the limbs
were cold, the eyes set, and there was
little doubt that the man was dead.
Upon a close examination Of the heart
however, the doctor discovered n faint
and almost imperceptible movement.
The clothing was hastily removed, a
heavy friction Of the limbs com
menced, and proper restoratiyes ad-
ministered. Gradually the circula-
ton increased. warmth was restored,
and In about three-quarters Of an hour
after the arrival Of the doctor, Mr..
Thompson was able to speak. Mr..
Thompson had entered the wardrobe
and bolted the door or the inside.

Of his hiding place but before he
could come out he had tainted from

that his Life. was .preseryed.-Lomis-

POLITICAL MIsRRPRRsENTA-
TONS.

No sooner Il a Ia announced as q
candidate for Office, than the party or
gan, who are opposed to his politic'
play havoc with hi, reputation. and let
loose all their billingsgate upon him.
This practice Il d~isgraccful in the ex-
treme, and should b. changed. No
matter how pure q mar may be In all
the relations of llfe-may his character
as \ husband. father, neighbor and
friend be exceptionally spotless-werc
he rs immaculate rs Jesus Christine
party organs would at once try to di.
vest him Of every shred Of reputation ;
they would say that he was corrupt,
and would basely hint that they were
in receipt of letters, which they might
one day publish, which would eonsign
him to utter infamy. Such n course OF
procedure Is damnable. and ought to
DO reprobated by all honorable men.
Editors who would Indignantly repel
any charge Of dishonor that might BE-
brought against them personally, do
not In many instances hesitate to cir
culate, for party ends, what they know
to be false. Such conduct Il not only
r~eprehensible, but It is All abomlnation
before God and man. The political
party that sends forth the most OF such
foul and cowardly ISLANDERS will gener-
ally meet with defeat when 1t goes be-
fore the people, and such ought to BE-
It's fate. There Is something repug-
nant to the American people in these
shameless attacks on good men, simply
because they happen to differ In poll
tics from the party hacks which abuse
them. Can We not differ in opinion
from II neighbor without his calling
Us u thief or \ liar? Must he also
deem his brother a murderer because
he sees fit to sustain Greeley, while
we believe that 1t Is our duty to sup
port Grant? Out on such n narrow
and contracted view Of politics, which
only indicates an intellect Of a very
light calibre. A noble nature can ap-
preclate virtue, even in Ri enemy-an
ignoble one, never 1t Il time that
the press Of the country should make
an effort to change all this. 1t should
criticlse the candidates fairly and i'm.
partially, and then be willing to abide
by the judgment Of the people as ex-
pressed mt the polls.
