ApPREc1Ar1vs RRRUKE.

The Carson Appe'a OF thi' morning
makes a short, punscnt reply to the
Enterprise editorial Of yesterday, from
which we extract the following:
In the Aforesaid article that Senate
rial aSplrant L.. without good aus or
sufficient ~provocation, treated TO the
following Bit Of mercilesS mockery:
The absence OF . candidate from any or 81
political meetings If he has not authorized the
use OF nts nano 10 connection herewith ia q
matter for which no Is accountable TO no one.
and Il l. an unjuIidablo invasion OF the prlyi.
leS-d secluslon Of private life to insinuate IN.
worthy motives for SUCH action.
Now, while protesting to sustain Mr..
Jones. what excusc has the Enterprise
to sheer at hiS candidacy in that extra
ordinary fashion? THIS i%nslnuatiou
that Mr.. Jones does not feel himself
accountable to any political party aud
that his candidacy has nothing to do
with politics, but Is u private, and. III
It were, u purely commercial venture
Of his own, Is the crueieSt stab given
under the assumed guiSe Of friendship
that we have ever heard of! Mr..
Jones needs no defence from US; but
We volunteer to deuouncs this mean
insinuntion as wholly u~nwaranted.
That gentleman does regard tile Re-
publican party and It's requirements
aud mandates with respect, his home
organ to the contrary Notwithstanding.

1as GRASS VALLEY HAUNTED HOUSE.

Relative to the haunted house at
Grass Valley, an item about which we
copied from the Union Of Wedne ,day,
that paper Of yesterday gives the fol.
lowing additional: a reporter from
thi, oltice yesterday visited the said to
be haunted premises and had u coIver-
sation with the lady OF the house. She
relates that very strange anu unac-
c~ountable noises have occurred In the
house, aud that the family have tried
to ascertain the cau@e OF the noises, but
without success. The most remafka-
BILE demonstration the ghost has yet
made was an attempt to play OIL the
piano. A young gentleman In the
family had been playing that instru-
ment one evening, anu then got up and
lett the room. He Left u sheet of mti-
sic open on the piano. Soon after his
departure, while the lady Of the house
was sitting In the room. the plano
struck up al attempt at the mlIic
which tile young gentleman had just
been playing. Tue sound OF footsteps
are heard and an occasional heavy
stamp Of a heel. 1t 1t b ghly probable
that tho whole will be fully explained
OIL natural principles, and chat there Is
nothing really mysterious In the az
fair,

MORE ~ScUrrLrNo.

The editor of the Enterprise, we
grieve to see, has lost his temper, and
with it all the discretion we thought
he was born with, or else his chronic
editorial Of this morning Il thoroughly
consistent with his t~iercely announced
Intention to raise the black flag and

dency Of 1t. It Is fallaciou'ly argu-
mrntative in some instances, obscene
In others, and ~ 4 whole discredltable

We do not say this because he vul-
curly calls Us 4 "hoodlum." aud iu-
dulgcs In other low remIrks about

but merely In the kindly spirit Of ben
eticial criticism. We are not, how
ever, disposed to attribute to error OF

he deliberately charges him with in-
terestedly furnishing money to carry
OIL the entire campaign, thus more than
sub,tantiating the charge Of his oppo.
nents, that Jones Is trying to get Into
the United States Senate OIL the merits
OF money aloue-literally buying his
way. The Enterprise doubtless speaks
by the card In saying that "a political
v Il an expensive affair" aud
Jones evidently tlnds lt to be so IL tho
Enterprise tells the truth In saying
that he Is virtually bearing the ell
tire weight Of the campaign upon his
individual shoulders" With the En-
terpriss added to that load Jones will
realize it &c be the heaviest lot OF stock
he aver undertook to carry, and with
a fine margin for ruin and defeat.
As to the loud and repeated threats
of retaliation thrown out BY the editor
of the Enterprise against those who dis
sent from his bareficed Intriguing
course In this political CANVASS, they
are very impruden,, rs we'll rs inso
lent, and not at all calculated to har-
monte existing disaSreelnents. He
may learn a lesson he does not now
realize. and lind that lie l.. threatening
the majority Of the Republican party.
AS far as those threats apply to US they
simply amount to future patronage ut
the disposal Of the officers to be elected
that we shall not have any OF the
printing to do, but that the Enterprise
will take it all. As We said before,
such threats are very imprudent. The
Enterprise does not " the whole Re-
publican party just yet, and when It
does we shall not beg for any patron
age. Meanwhile we advise it to go
particularly slow, and not be too sell
fish or foolish. II It would retain any
portion OF our patrouizlhg approval,
or that Of the powerful party We HON
estly represent, the great American
people.

1Hs DIAMOND Elflps.

About the 20th OF August a party ot
fifteen men left this city to explore
the diamond fields of Arizona. about
which there was at tile time a furore
OF excitement. The party went over
land and was we'll armed aud equipped
for the expedition. Amongst them
were the following well.kn0wn ger-
tlemen: G. D. Roberts. General John
W. Bost. Surveyor; II. G. King, Eli
gineer; 81. G. Gillette. Alfred Ruberry,
John F. Boyd, DR.. c. Cleveland, B. ii.
Fry. Chauncey Fairfield, aud Charles
G.. Meyers.
The members of tho expedition re-
turned Sunday. They experienced no
trouble with the Indians, but had a
very tedious aud laborlous march to
the fields" aud thence home. The
heads of the party DECLARED that their
explorations more than confirmed the
original report by Janin Of the extent
and richness of the deposits, aud they
exhibit specimens which they say they
secured by their own exertions and
with but small labor. This party
went merely to explore and prospect
the country WHERE the diamonds and
rubies were said to abound, aud not
for the purpose OF working. They say
that active operations could not be
carried OH which they were there, aS
the altitude Il great and the ground
frozen and covered with snow. The
specimens which were brought back
are similar IL those first exhibited In
this city, and they number altogether
256 diamonds Of various sizes, from
tnat Of a drop Of water to marrowlat
pes. Mr.. Roberts declares that II any
body In. been deceived. they are the
worst deceived and cheated. They
surveyed 5000 acres Of land, aud pro-

Pig Breeding and Feeding.

Mr.. Mechi, the prince Of expert
mental farmers, says the same rule
applies to pigs as other animals ;
choose the best male parent of q
thrifty breed. Let the breeding SOW
work for her living, for if you feed
here bountifully she will get fat and
have a few pigs. But he says, to
have good pigs, she must have the
right sort of food to make bone, mus
Gle and fat; but avoid the fatal mistake
of giving the SOW a large quantity of
roots before parturition. Let Ter run
in pasture, and have a moderate sup
Ply of bran, a little meal and boiled
potatoes, q few turnips, but very few
mangolds moderate supply of peas,
Deans and barley, or soaked Indian
corn may be added, ais, clover and
green beans in the pods.
Nothing comes amiss to the SOW.
The great point is to give variety,
and not too much of one sort, espe-
cially roots. But after parturition
roots may be more literally given,
especially cabbage in conjunctionjwith
other food, but Immediately after par
turition the diet should be sparing and
cooling. In cold weather, warmth and
shelter are indispensable. Never al
low a pig to bury itself in stable ma
nure, or catch cold by sleeping on cold
ground. For fatteniug pigs, nothing
beats two-third pea-neal and two
third barley meal; If mixed with
skinned milk, steamed roots and
potatoes, they grow and fatten very
fast. He fattened two hundred pigs
one season without loosing any by
disease. To promote ventilation they
were all placed on spared floors, and
in hot weather they were treated daily
with shower bath, which kept them
very clean. He put straw on the
floors in cold weather, and he says
pigs pay in manure better than most
other animals They should have salt
and plenty of pure water. la

Origin Of the Confederate Flag.
from the Cincinnati Ganetse.l

lfrOm tne Slnclnnatl Uazette.l
That the rebellion is fairly over is
proved by the Transmission of letter
of Enquiry from Captain Preble, q. s.
n, to General Bsauregard, asking the
origin of the Confederate flag. The
general replied that at the first battle
of Manassas, or Bull Run, the opposing
flags were so much alike as to cause
confusion. After the fight it was at
first determined to have distinct State
flags for each of ofthe Southern States,
but the idea proving impracticable,
many designs for a general flag were
offered. That of Colonel J. B. Walton,
commanding the Louisiana Washing
ton Artillery, was preferred, and in
September, 1861, finally adopted, mod
flied by that sent by Colonel Miles.
It was at first called the Potomac army
''battle fag," but soon went into gem
eral use, and superseded the flags car
ried by the Western corps. Its field
was red or crimson, its bars were blue,
running diagonally across from one
corner to the other, and the stars on
them we're white or gold, their number
being equal to the number of States in
the Confederacy; the blue bars were
separated from the red field by small
white fillet. The size of the flags for
infantry was fixed at Aka feet, for ar
tillery 3x3, for cavalry 23x2t feet. 1t
had the merit of being small and light,
and OF being very distinct at great dis
tances. But it was not accepted by
the Confederate government until It
had been used in many hard fought
battle,

How Germany Prevents Railroad Ae-
cidents.

That most railway accidents, and es-
pecially those which are the result OF
collision, can be avoided by proper
care and foresight is undeniable. This
is shown by the comparative ex-
emption from accidents which some
railroads in this country, conducted on
proper principles, enjoy. Even In re-
gard to the breaking of rail, as in the
Lehigh accident, which the coroner's
Jury in that ease treats as an IN
forseen and unavoidable thing, 1t is
said that in Germany an accident has
never occurred from the breaking
Of q rail. The New York Evening
Post says that not q person in that
country has lost his life nor person
been mutilated from this cause in all
the thirty and more years that steam
carriages have been running on iron
ways. The reason is plain. 1t is de-
termined by scientific experiment how
long iron will resist, on the average,
the beating of wheels, and the law re-
quires the railroad companies to put
down the rails periodically, whether
those in use exhibit signs of weak
ness or not. While this involves ex-
pense it is so managed as to be gradu-
ally distributed over period of years,
q small portion of the road renewed
each year, until the whole is con-
pleted within the given time. Here,
on the contrary, upon many railroad
lines, little attention is given to the
selection Of rails, and less to their re-
newal at certain periods. Few cum
panies incur the expense of substi-
tuting steel for iron rails, though the
former are far more durable. In like
manner the same false economy in
all that would give increased security
to the public is one of the chief causes
of the frightful perils Of railway trav-
cling. /.

How the Fools Die.

When we read the history of the
duels that have been fought, we Won
der at the manner in which men
yield up their lives. In fact, it is al
most beyond belief. We learn, from
a glance at the causes that have led
to duels, that Col. Montgomery was
shot in duel about dog Col. Ram
sey in one about servant; Mr..
Featherstone in one about a recruit
Sterne's father in one about a goose
and another gentleman in one about
on acre of anchovies; one officer was
challenged for merely asking bis OPP
ponent to enjoy the second goblet /;
and another was compelled to fight
about a pinch of snuff; Gen. Barry
was challenged dy Capt. Smith for
declining wine for dinner on steam
boat, although the General had
pleaded as an excuse THAT wine in
variably made him sick; and Lieut..
Cowther lost his life in a duel because
he was refused admittance to a club
of pigeon shooters. In 1777, a duel
occurred i'm New York City between
a couple of British officers in regard
to the manner of eating an ear of corn,
one contending that the best eating
was from the cob, and the other that
the grain should be cut off from the
cob before eating. Neither of the
fools were killed but one of them
had an arm shattered, which had to
be amputated. Graham, Major Noah's
assistant editor on the Ndtiond Ad-
Uocute, lost his life in 1927, at the
duelling ground at Hoboken, with
Barton, the son-in-law of Edward
Livingston, in a simple dispute about
what was trumpsh in a game of
cards.
