A FOREST PATH.

I know narrow forest-path, that climbs
The mountain side, arched thick with chestnut
leaves
And maple and the black green massive oak,
Guarding from highest noon their underworld
Of beauteous life that cannot bear the light
A curious underworld of mild decay;
Each prone trunk, lying over where he fell,
Enamelled wit b fine lichens, couched in ferns,
While stitch by stitch, soft broidering moses make
His gay green shroud pr licked out with coral cups
And each unseemly, rotten gap is filled
With orange fungus, and the straight club moss
Spreads like small pine forest round his feet.

TIE DIAMOND FRAUDS.

"A meeting Of the directors of the San Fran
Company was held at San Francisco on the
2Jth to receive reports from the geological
survey sent out under Clarence King, and
consisting OF Mr.. King, D. ID. Cotton, Sur
vcyor Bost and Mr.. Frey. Voluminous re-
ports from the survey were received, de-
nouncing the whole pretended discovery as a
gigantic fraud. The trustees at once adop-
ted resolution to the effect that the fraud
be at once and fully exposed, in order that
the public may be protected; also that no
more stock be issued or transferred, and that
the CORPORATION be dissolved as soon as prac-
ticablc.
The public are warned against any farther
transactions on the faith Of the alleged dis
coveries All the stock thus far sold is still
help by W. G. Ralston, at the Bank OF Cali
tornia, and the original incorporators will
assume the entire loss from the operation OF
the company.
The report of Clarence King gives the
operations of his surveys in detail. In the
vicinity of Table Rock diamonds and rubies
were found on the surface and in the crew.
Ces; but in every instance OF lind there
was evidence that the soil had been tempered
with. In crevlceS where there were no ira
ces Of the work of man no evidence OF the eN-
istence of precious stones was discovered.
Some diamonds were found in what were ev-
identity artificial holes.
The conclusion arrived at by Mr.. King is
that the gems found were in positions where
they would have been deposited By the hand
of man, ana that none exist where, iftheir oc-
currence had been genuine. the inevitable
laws of nature wonld have placed them. Fl
nalls, he asserts that the reputed diamond
fields have been 'ssalted," or scattered over
with stones, for the purpose of deceiving
honest or unskilled searchers. The reports
of the other explorers corroborate that Of Mr..

tpower at Washington, but after that never
cordially supporting the administration
which he helped elect, and often seriously
embarrassing them by his opposition ana
eccentricities. The great mistakes OF ms
political life came Of his disagreement with
his party; the first when he proposed al
lowing the slave States to separate from
the North the last when he accepted the
nomination for President in opposition to
Grant So inconsistent was his position
as the candidate of the democratic party
with all his past political life, that no pos
sible explanation can make it appear rea-
sonable or satisfactory. The mantle of
charity may be cast over it, but it will de-
tract more than anything else from the
good name and respect in which Mr..
Greeley ardently desired to be held.
Mr.. Greeley was born in Amherst, New
Hampshire, Feb. Sd, 1911. His parents
were poor, living by farming, and were
able to give their son no opportunity for
education except what the town school
afforded At eleven years of age he APP
piled for chance in \ printing Office, but
was rejected At fifteen he made another
trial and entered upon his apprenticeship
in a small Office at East Poultnev, Vt.
His parents removed when he was n child
to Vermont, and afterwards to Pennsyl-
vania, where Horace made his way on
foot and BIZ canal in 1880 to visit them.
In 1881 hc made his first appearance in
New York. with ten dollars his bundle
and trade There he worked as a Jour-
neyman printer about year and half.
On the first of January 1888, the firm of
Greeley & Story issued the first number
of the first cheap New York daily. called
1.-THE Morning Post" but the paper died
before the close OF the third week In
1884 The New Yorker" a weekly paper,
was established, with Mr.. Greeley as edi-
tor, but though the paper was eX ellently
conducted it was discontinued in 1871,
leaving its proprletors in debt. In 1888
Mr.. Greeley conducted a campaign paper
called the "Jetfersonian,' and another
called the Log Cabin in the campaign
of 1910. displaying in these publications
first his capacity as a political editor In
l94l the New York Tribune was started,
when Mr. Greeley was thirty years ofagc,
since which time his history is well known
in every village in the country. The sue
cess of the Tribune gave him position
in public affairs by its influence, and
competence if not fortune. In his ear-
lier days Mr.. Greeley was an ardent Wing,
and remained with that party until he
joined the republican party, into which his
previously formed anti-slavery opinions
naturally carried him. Besides his edito-
rial labor he found time to write his Histo-
ry of the Rebellion, Recollections of
Busy Life, n work on Agriculture, and
one on Political Economy He closes his
life at nearly the age of sixty-two years,
leaving two daughters to inherit his name
and property.

Mother Ewes servant-GIrI.

tCan any one tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one of Adams ribs a
hired girl wasn't made at the same time to
wait on her?"
Because Adam never came whining to
Eve with ragged stockings TO be darned, q
collar-string to be sewed oB, or glove to be
mended ''right away, quick now!" Be-
cause he never read the newspaper until
the sun goes down behind the palm trees,
and then stretching himself, yawned, out,
saint supper most ready, my dear ?''
Not he. He made the fire, and hang over
the tea-kettle himself, we'll venture, and
pulled the radishes, peeled the bananas,
and did everything else that he'd ought
to. He MIXED the COW, fed the
chickens, and looked after the pigs
himself. He never brought home
half dozen friends to dinner, when Eve
hadn't any fresh promegranates, aud the
mango season was over. He never stayed
out until IL o'clock to "ward meeting" hur-
rahing for an out-and-out candidate, and
then scolded because poor dear Eve was
sitting up and crying inside the gates. He
never played billiards nor drove fast horses,
nor cboked Eve with cigar smoke. He
never loafed around corner groceries
while solitary Eve was rocking little Gains
cradle at home. In short, he didn't think
sbe was specially created for the purpose of
waiting on him, and wasn't under the i'm
preston that it disgraeed man to tighten
his wife's cares little.
That's the reason that Eve did not need
a hired girl, and we wish it was the reason
that none of her fair descendants did.

Davidson counties. As matter Of course
be was cheated (?) out of the nomination
somehow or other, by somebody or other,
somewhere or other, or he would not to-day
be an ''Independent" candidate. In this
matter Mr.. Hamilton, TO use a phrase of
the day, has overlooked his hand. Mr..
johnson has taken all the ''independent'
stock which has been upon the market.
He has paid the Banner big premium for
it. As Mr.. Hamilton from his card seems
to be a sort of ''shaver" or .fndncier, that
is the polite term, we would advise him to
wait until after the 5th of November. He
can then buy this "independent" stock al

A MISSING BRIOEGROOar.

John Farrell, a young bridegroom who
mysteriously disappeared in New York
city last Tuesday evening, the time ap-
pointed for his wedding, was found about
midnight Wednesday in Wafer street, near
Water-ho Point, lying near an old steam
boiler, almost lifeless. His clothes were
partly torn from his body, and his face pre-
sented shocking sight. On the temples
blood streamed unchecked, and two ugly
cuts inflicted by some blunt instrument,
were close behind the left ear. A diamond
pin and S275 in cash were taken from bis
person. 1t is supposed he was waylaid by
some of the thieVing gang that infest Wa
ter street at nightfall, foicibly taken from
the wagon he was driving, beaten senseless
and robbed. As he is yet unconscious no
statement of the occurrence can be given.
Young Farrell now lies at his fathers resi-
dence, No. 68 Willett street. Miss Mary
Quick, the unfortunate bride, is faithful
attendant at his bedside. The police have
no clue TO the perpetrators Of ibis foul
crime. -.

Chicago Sunday Liq aOr Law.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 20.-The notification
of the Superintendent of Police TO the sa-
loon keepers to keep their doors closed to-
day, in accordance with the ordinance pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor on the Sabbath,
was almost universally observed. Only
two or three beer saloons openly disregard
ed the notice and violated the law. There
was a marked absence of drunkenness and
disorder on the streets, and the total num-
Der OF arrests in the city during the day up
to eleven tonight was nine, whereas on
last Sunday, when the law was partially
observed, there was Al. The friends ofthe
law are much gratitied at the result, and al
ready expect the acquiescence Of the saloon
keepers in the demand for the enforc ement
of the law. The few who kept their places
open to-day will be cited to appear at the
Police Court in the morning.

CONGREsSIONAL.

How stands Col. Colyar on the Con-
gressional race in this district This
question has been asked us frequently. We
cannot answer. We can only say that he
was one of "the fifteen thousand" who
nominated Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Brien.
he glorifed in the johnson part of the
demonstration and has been doing so every
day and night since but we have never
heard that he went the whole hog, Brien,
snout, tail and all. Still he is resolute
man and may be able to swallow Mr..
Brien. He owes it to himself, he owes it
to Mr.. Brien, he owes it to Mr.. johnson,
and he owes it to his party, whatever that
may be, that he should swallow Mr.. Brien.
Back your ears and gulp him. Sic; send TOR
