The situation in France is very grave

mlttee presented its " Report" on the

been voted by nine to six. This docu-
ment, was drawn up 10y NJ. Batbie-a
man supposed 10 be a moderate, but
hated By the Reds for his alleged cruel
ty-and proved to be "a furious attack
upon the Radicals, as no party, hut only
a league Of deStruction," equally hos
Tile TO all parties deserving of respect.
1t was admitted, however, that thew
were marching towards legal and ire
medlabIe triumph" and the Assembly
was therefore called on { o form a Go
Vernment OF combat" which would en-
tighten the country electors and keep
The Radicals down, As a means to This
end, the Committee insisted that NJ.
THEIRS should cease to present himself
IN the Chamber, aud should appoint
responsible Ministcrs,-that is, should
descend from a President into a sort of
King, yet remain Without power of dis
solution.

Edwin Forests Effects.

The Philadelphia Press says that
Of Edwin Forests pecuniary affairs
nothing Is positively known. He had
considerable real estate. His property
at Broad aud Market Is valuable ; his
farm near Frankford, which he bought
of Mr.. George Stuart, some ten years
ago, for $4,000; his lots at the old
Fort Hill farm on tho Hudson ; his
Covington, KY, property, ought to
foot up considerable total, outside Of
his personal property. He was a fine
business man. Of careful money habits,
and yet capable OF generous actions
suddenly, perhaps without preparation
"a 10 the disposition Of his property,
and dying also without any known re-
lations, much interest will attach to
the facts when his affairs come to be
legally examined. 80

posed of 4. C. Ames, r. 5. Eels, John
Baker, Col. Lamott, Billy Tichworth

procured the necessary outfit and pro-
ceeded thence to McHenry's fork,
dowa which they travelled until Green
river was reached. From there they
went about forty miles In n southerly
direction to Taber's, and thence about
forty miles easterly, where they found
the location Of the land. They struck
camp and Immediately commenced
operations In Ruby gulch, soon finding
the reward of their labors In a large
number OF diamonds, rubles, garnots,
spinelles and other precious stones
The stones are found in a volcanic
formation. and being principally
among disintegrated lava, are easily
found. The mode Of finding them Is
simple, the only implements needed
being a shovel and common -four sieve
The soil carrying the gems Is thrown
into the sieve and the fine sand sifted
out. when that which remains Is emp
tied out on the smooth surface Of the
rimrock. The hunter for, precious
stones then goes over the mass, closely
scrutinizing every atom which displays
the least Bit of color or the slightest
disposition to glisten. During a stay
of some ten or twelve days the party
found q very large number Of stones
| which they deemed valuable. For the

The Monterey Democrat Of the 2lst
records this case Of extreme longevity
Last week died at the Indian hamlet
on the Carmeio river, Lupecina, an
indian w6man aged 1l3 years, 2 native
Of the pehinsuls between Monterey
and CarmeIo bays, living and dying
within q short distance Of the place Of
her birth. When Junipero Sierra first
landed at Monterey this woman was
old enough to note his arrival. She
was among the irst proselytes baptized
by him, ana was one OF the laborers
employed In the erection Of the Car
meio Church. gfsAnclent Of the days.
as she has been, ever since the Amer
lean flag was hoisted at Monterey she
has herself constituted one Of the chief
relics of the bygone. Every one who
has visited Monterey Of late years has
heard OF her, and hundreds have made
1t a point to see her,, About four feet
In stktofe, with akin drawn tight over
her dlminutlye frame, she looked like
an Egyptian mummy gifted with

was her c~ountenance, 1t had, however,
an expression of intelligence. She

Hoaoa 70 WHox HONOR u DUE.

Telegraph wires are not probably
the only means OF rapid dispatch.
Electricity itself may be superseded.
Tomasi Is exciting wonder and admira-
ton by exhibiting In Paris an entirely
new and q very simple telegraph. BE
lays down copper tubes filled with
water. BY atmospheric pressure at
one end the column Of water Is moved
Its whole length simultaneously. It
Is easy to conceive how messages may
Do transmitted In this way. The
French newspapers speak of this In
vention as promising great results
Exchange.
Now, as Mr.. w. Frank Stewart Of
Virginia City suggested this Identical
method Of conveying messages eight
years ago, and published the same In a
San Jose California; newspaper, we
feel that, in justice to him, We ought
to say 50. Stewart maintained, in his
Electrical Philosophy of the Uni
verse" that the reason why terrestrial
magnets are disturbed when any sud-
den change Is observed uponthe SUMS
surface Is because the inter-planetary
spaces are constantly and completely
filled with the electric fluid, and that
any disturbance or movement In the
great electric sea Is instantly commu-
nicated to every point in the planetary
system, precisely ~ though the whole
were an unbroksn solid, whose partl-
Giles can DO simultaneously showed, so
to speak, In one direction.
Stewart, We have been Informed,
was led to this conclusion In re-
lation to the action Of the electric
fluid by observing. not only the dis.
turbance of the terrestrial magnets by
the sun, but by noticing the phenom'
ena Of electric telegraphy. He came
to the conclusion that electric currents
are not sent over tho wires Mt all; but
that the instant the operating key is
touched, the wire is literally as full Of
electricity as It can hold, and that the
addition Of the least particle at one
eud Of the line, produces q correspond
ing disturbance at the other end, by
the simple law Of pressure. Upon the
same principle OF wave-motion, OF
movement OF particles by mechanical
pressure, Stewart conceived the idea
that, as water Is q n~on-elastic fluid, II
could be caused to move through tubes
Of glass or copper, and be made to give
signals by manipulation, just as Il
practlced in electric telegraphy.
Tho above idea regarding the actual
transmission Of the electric current /:
old, but whether original with Mr.
Stewart or not, he claims, aud We
think Is entitled to whatever merit o.
originality there may be in the waite,
tube method. BY way Of illustration,
take a pole, place the end Of 1t against
a pane Of window glass and strike q
blow at the farther end with a ham
mer. The blow does not pass along
the pole, but Its effect in breaking the
glass Is about as instantaneous as
though it were struck by the hammer
direct. E3a

A Newspaper Hoax.

Some months ago a Frenchman by
tho name OF Pavy, made q splurge In
San Francisco as a polar explorer and
was quite generously wined and dined
by the Bohemians who regarded him
rs . "lion." Payy was not al ex-
p!orer, though he was an adyenturer,
and when he left San Francisco he
went to New Orleans Instead Of the
Polar sea. 10 get even, somebody
has written to the New York World a
very circumstantial account Of Paws
voyage, various literary gentlemen
being named as members of the party.
Their adventures we're Of course start
ling and thrilling and the editor Of the
World felt that he had almost beaten
the Herald In enterprise, pitting Pavy
against Stanley. When he reads the
California papers and learns that he
has been hoaxed, he will probably DO

MONUMENTAL.

The Galveston Netes remarks that
when n prominent citizen dies the first
thing we resolve to do Is to build him
a monument, aud the next thing we
don't. This Is true, rs every one will
admit when he reflects upon the many
published monuments Of this kind that
have been started and soon abandoned.
The Impulse which makes such q sng-
gestion Is noble ; but the design once
c~onceived,i it would be much more cred
table II 1t were carried to a successful
termination. How few Of the monu-
ments thus proposed r eve built.
Even the one designed three-quarters
Of a century ago to commemorate the
fame of the "Father Of his country"
Is still unfinished. Coming down to a
later day, the movement to erect a
monument over the grave Of Colonel
Baker, who died while calamity fight
Ing for his adopted country, has, to all
intents and purposes, been aoanooneu.
Again; we purposed to erect an ODE
lisk to the memory Of one Of our great
est soldiers, tho noble and patriotic
General Thomas. and after the lapse
OF moro than two years we have con-
tributed only the pitiful sum offour to
five thousand dollars. The latest move
ment Is to erect a monument In honor
OF Horace Greeley, and We hope 1t will
be carried out. Cornell University Is
collecting and filing away all the eulo-
gies which have been written by the
press Of this country, which will be q
monument that will last rs long as the
English Language Is spoken.

TWO Nu1sANcRs.

In newspaper business there are TWO
things which come partially, and Often
times wholly, under the head OF u
sances. These are "Interviewers !"
and "Jenkinsizers." The interviewer,
as soon as he happens to learn Of the
arrival Of some person Of note, or Of
some person suddenly becoming nosa-
BILE, feels 1t to be his imperative duty.
to call on that person forthwith, be-
fore the representative Of any other
paper can get In ahead, and In private
interviews ask all sorts Of questions
about the present business, past history
and future intention Of that person,
boring away with any amount Of qucs-
tlons. both pertinent and impertinent.
In many instances really valuable and
desirable information Is thus obtained,
but in most cases the interviewer
proves himself to be IN exasperating
nuisance, and his so-obtained informa-
ton Is not altogether reliable, any
how. Most interviewers, however, do
not care whether their questions or In
formation are correct or not, and make
up from the Imagination what they
have failed to otherwise elicit.
The vanity of some notables or would
be notables ls quite frequently fiat
tered By this very interviewing notice
by newspaper representatives, but
good, sensible, practical, really merit,
orious persons instinctlvely shrink
from any such notoriety. Er
The other nuisance Is the "Jenklns.'
He oGlciously attends balls and parties
and whether agreeable or no, deliber-
ately and remorselessly proceeds to
describe minutely the dresses Of the
ladies present, even to the most ag,
gravating particular. This Jenkins
should be killed or otherwise effec'
tually disposed Of as soon as dis
covered. Such descriptive arrange
ments are always In doubtful taste,
and never should be INDUCED in unless
with the consent Of all parties con-
cerned, and even then the occasion
should be some noted one, when the
ladies' wear dresses worth describing,
or dresses with the expectation Of being
described. The persistent, inveterate
jenkins who describes the ladies
dresses at an ordinary ball, or evening
party on similar occasions, generally l.
pretty sure to perpetuate the great er-
TOR and fragrant injustice Of describing
particularly the finest dresses in the
hall. to the utter neglect Of the poorer
and less snowy. This degree Of dis
crlminative tayoritism Is cruelty un'
Just to the modest, unassuming anc
truly worthy ladies. who cannot afford
to dress up to the Jenkins descriptive
point. jenkins should be just by all,
by treating all alike, or still better
letting all alone. .

Two of the most ancient of the noble families
of England were united yesterday in the mar
riage of the Marquis of Butte to the daughter
of Lord Howard, descended from the great
race which has so often signalized its devotion
to royalty and to church by the sacrifice OF
blood and treasure. The Marquis of Butte is
famous for his immense wealth. and since his
conversion to the Roman Catholic Church, he
has lavished upon it his riches. The marriage
took place at the Roman Catholic Oratory at
Brompton. The wedding ceremonies we're
witnessed by great crowd of persons. The
Baroness Burdett Coutts, Duchess of Argyll,
Baron Rothschild, Duke of Norfolk and many
other noble personages were presented to the
newly married couple. Among the many pres
ents sent to the bride was set Of cameo
brooches from the Pope.
