the cotton, and the recent rains started
it to growing again. The productive

DEAD ENGLISH KINGS.

Moncure ID. Conway writes from Lon
don to the Cincinnati Commercial as
follows:
The Dean of Westminster has just
given before the Society of Antiquari-
ans interesting account ofseveral Kings
skulls. Shakespeare's Words, "Come,
let us sit on the ground and talk of the
death of Kings,' are hardly polite
enough to quote at u moment when 80
| many princes are lying around loose;
but the antiquarians fell into this vein
on Thursday evening, and listened with
deep attention to Stanley's narrative.
! He has just explored the tomb Of Rich
ard II 1.-The King whose splendid begin
ming and miserable end made old Frois-
sart says: "I have seen two strange
| things in my time" Two sets ofhuman
bones were found in the tom b of Richard,
! male and female; it was certain that
the female was Annie of Bohemia, and
the Dean discussed whether the others
were the remains of Richard. The
measurement of the skull showed it to
be below the average size Of the En-
glish skull, however, Mr.. Richmond
thought the skull would agree with the
character of the Kings. Sprigs of pop
lar, considered in his time q preventa-
tive against witchcraft, were found in
thetOmb. Rushes were there, also prov
ing that the tomb, though ransack cd had
never been actually entered. Some
was found which must have been east
in by passers-by. The tomb of Henry
III. had also been explored by the
Dean. About the identity of Hcnry's
remains there is no doubt. The cast
ing of the eiligy it is nearly perfect,
though 1t Was among the first of such
castings. The coffin was found covered
with cloth of gold, and that covered
with dust. The cloth had so lost its
strength that 4 breath from the mouth
would change any bit Oft to dust. The
dean is responsible for having disturbed
the bones Of many an old monarch in
the interest of science. 1t is curious
that while SO many of such tombs have
been opened, no one yet darcs to sug-
gest the exploration of that of Shake
spearc. The tomb of William Rufus
was opened to find whether the story
OF his death by the arrow of Tyrrell
was true, rs the legend said that the
arrow had been buried with the King
Sure enough the arrow was found.
Also the grave of j Ohm IIampdcn was
explored to sec if it were true that he
had lost hand in his engagement
with Prince Rupert and thcamputatcd
nanu was found. But ALTHOUGH the
fearful imprccation written on the SUP
poscd-cnly supposed-gravco of Shakes
pear leads many to suspect that some
explanation of the confessed mystery
surrounding him lies buried there; that
imprccation seems to be the reason
why no one proposes to dig into it.
Indeed, SO much superstition invests
that grave in the Stratford church that
it is likely that the VilloocrS >yould
rise up in arlne ut any attempt as was
once made by Miss Bacon, the Ameri-
can monOmaniac, who some of the
Strafordians say no sooner raised !, pick
over the grave than shc was struck
with madness. But it is plain from
the explorations OF Dean Stanley in
Westminster Abbey that such divinity
doth not hedge about 4 King as
hedges about tho Immortal Willsams,'
as the French calls him.

CROPS.-Under the effect of the re-
cent showers the crops have materially
improved. Some corn crops arc excel
lent, while others are almost total
failure. Cotton is promising, but the
general prevalence Of cnterpillars in
the fields makes it almost certain that
the crop will be eaten up by LIST Sep
TENDER, i'll which event there will not
be much more than half the average
yield of good years.

During the week, the superstru cturc

and only impediment in the way of an
early completion of the building is the
failure of the mills TO supply lumber.

We have had just sufficient rain this
week to lay the dust.
The crops are steadily improving
under the influence of the favorable
weather. Much of the cotton is quite
small, in consequence OF being sur
rounded by grass.
We have heard of some cotton worms
on two or three places during the pres
ent week, but there does not seem to
be any fear among the planters of do
ing much damage.
There will be more fodder saved this
year than any previous year since the

Appeal to Supreme Court From Caddo

Not encumbering this report with
the points Of practice and pleadings in
this case, we come simply to the impor-
tant questions involved. These ques-
lions are
Were the acts of 8. NJ. Morrison and
I. w. Pickins, commissioned, respec-
lively, as clerk and sheriff of Caddo
parish, by Gov. Warmoth on the 4th
Of December, 1872, valid?
Are their acts binding as to third
persons7
Or are they absolute utilities?
As we understand it, lack McFar-
land had nothing to do with the case,
except that his bond was taken by the
officials just named. The sureties were
adjudged to pay the bond ($3, 000,) and
brought the case up to the Supreme
Court upon a motion to try the validity
OF the official acts of Morrison and Pick
ems.

The Congressional ExeersiOBIsfs at
Galveston.
GALVESTON, May 2I.-At ten o'clock
this merning, the excursiOnists were
taken for drive on the beach, on the
gulf side OF the city, which was enjoyed
very much by all. Returning, many OF
them visited the cottOn-presses, Hover
gardens and residences of citizens. At
twelve o'clock an elegant lunch was
spread at the armory of the Galveston
artillery company, which was attended
not only by the entire party, but by
many gentlemen and ladies of the city.
After partaking Of a bounteous repast,
Captain Molt, Gf the Galveston artillery,
called the assemblage TO order, and
after few remarks expressive of his own
and his company's appreciation of the
honor of visit from such distinguished
gentlemen he introduced Mr.. Niblaek.
of Indiana, who made a brief speech.
Speaking was then entered into rather
promiscuously, and Eldridge of Wiscon-
sin, Stanard of st. Louis, Ward of Chi
cago, Regan of Texas, Melliche of New
York, Colonel FlournOy eof Galveston,
Crittenden and Kennard of New Or
leans, Crane Of st. Louis, and Ex-Gov-
ernor Lubback of Texas, were success
lVeiy called out, and sentiments of
fraternity, good feeling, brotherly re-
sf'eet and love, amity of purpose, etc,
which were uttered, were londly and
heartily applauded. At three o'clock
the guests were taken in carriages, and
after witnessing review of the military
and fire departments, were driven to the
New Orleans steamer, upon which they
are now embarking 70; that city. Pre-
vious to the lunch at the armory many

deed has not blackened the annals Of
crime through a century of wars, blood

The Carson Appeal of October 20 has
the following concerning the Brunswick
mill at Empire: The Brunswick mill,
under the judicious and watchfu super.
intendency of Milt. EIstner, is, with its
extensive surroundings, the most COM
plete specimen OF quartz mill in the
world -ba rely excepting the Eureka mill
and not that, save with regard to the
somewhat greater power of the latter.
The Brunswick property and Presidency"
as we may term 1t, surpasses anything of
the kind ever before maintained. The
mill Itself Is OF tirst-class dimensions in
all respects, being provided with a COM
pletement of 56 stamps, 26 pans, 10 set
tiers, 4 agltators, cleanup pans and 4
retorts. The machinery Of the mill,
when IN full running order is driven by
two Lefel 52-inch turbines. This great
mill is now crushing about sixty-three
tons of ore per day. Yesterday there
were thlrty-six stamps and eight pans
running. less Number of stamps than
this could do all the work possible to be
done wifi the present head of water, but
they are set in motion in order to dlstrlb-
ute more sand to the sand floor, and

NEVADA STATE ITEMS.

CRowN PoINT MINE.--The Gold Hill
News, of Saturday, has the following in
regard to the present condition Of this
mine: The daily yield is 400 tons of ore.
There is no change of importance to note
OF the different ore slopes and breasts on
either the 1900, 1900 or 1000-foot levels.
The main south drift on the l4OO-foot
level has been stopped on account OF the
great heat and bad air, and an up raise
started to connect with the north Wine
from the l3OO-foot level, for the purpose
Of giving ventilation to that part of the
mine. The main south drift on the
15O0-foot level is making but slow pro.
gress, the heat being the most intense
ever encountered in the mine. The ore
in the middle winze, from the 13OO-foot
level, is still rich. The south winze, on
the same level, is also in splendid ore.
There is no change to note in the north
winze on the 1300-foot level.
The other day says the Enterprise,
when Sheriff Atkinson was escortine
Charles Boon, the horse thief, to the
State Prison to serve out year for his
last equine transaction, they passed on
the plain between this place and Carson,
a very fine horse, grazing alone in the
valley Boon's eyes glistened as they
surveyed the animals good points.
"Ah, cried he to the Sheriff, "ah. if I
were only at liberty now! What chance
Such beautiful animal, too. II were
free, now, I'd show You how neatly I'd
get that fine fellow" The fellows mind
was actually so absorbed in thinking OF
the horse he had seen and his bad luck
in not being in situation to steal him
that he could hardly talk of anything else
all the way to the prison. Thus do men
who possess properly trained minds find
objects with which to cheer and strength.

As OUR readers know, says the Eureka
Sentinel, billiard match for $500 side
between L. A. Gates OF this place, and
j. +. B. McCleery of San Francisco, was
recently made here, and a portion Of the
money deposited with the stakeholder.
The tournament was to have taken place
at Eureka Hall on the Sth proximo.
Soon after the match was made, how.
ever, Mr.. Gates was taken seriously i'll
and is still, we believe, confined to his
room. Under this state of affairs, Messrs.
Chase and Orndorf-the former repre-.
senting Gates and the latter McCleery-
met yesterday and declared the present
match off; or at least to postpone it in
definitely, which amounts to about the
same thing. The players may yet ar.
range for meeting but nothing definite
can be said about it now. We have no
doubt that great many people in this
section will be disappointed to learn that
the match is not to take place as per an
nouncement.
