Five years ago we secured a policy for
81, 600 in the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, of New York, for which Prof. Theo
Ascherfeld acts as agent in this section OF
country. We have received at the fifth
annual payment statement from the con-
pary setting forth that the dividends on
the policy, in that time, amount to s54G.571,
making the policy now worth s., 546.5..-
We paid in the time above stated $76S 40
as premiums; or the earnings of $76S. 40
paid in five years amount to $54G.57; not
in cash but in increase of the policy, pay
able at its maturity.

- Judge Merrick has refused to receive
the back pay voted to Congressman. Good
for the Judge: But did he vote for that
twin relic of barbarism to charge postage
on newspaper exchanges, and on circula-
ton in the county where published. Let
lis know who among our Maryland Con-
gressmen voted for this tax, if any, and let
the public hear what defense they have to
make. All of our Maryland Congressman
we believe voted against the big steal, but
has any of them, except Judge Merriek,
refused the plumber !? How much better is
the receiver than the thief?

ENTHUSIASTIC.

A correspondent of the AN Day City
ITEM from Washington, writes in the fol
lowing enraptured manner of the Postmas-
ter General.
The Postmaster General has beaten the
Railroad Monopoly, just as he beat high
postage, the Thanking privilege, public
documents, and other expressions of his
department., and as he will beat the Tele-
graph Monopoly.
Mr.. Creswell is Just, and he is brave. No
amount of labor, or threat, or smile, or soft
OF hard solder, intimidate him.
He is for the People, who will make him
President one Of these days, if he will con-
sent to take the abuse and vexation that
accompany the office.
AS have said, he has beaten the Rail-
road Monopoly.
Thanks be to God.
This puts off the e" irrepressible " con-
fiict for a season. Next year, or the year
following, it will come with crash like an
earthquake-the People will arise-then the
Railways will subside-" crib'd, cabin d.,
and confined; bound in to saucy doubts
and fearsn'
Mark what l tell you--the man of reso-
lutte and great rpose-CREswELL-a man
of simplicity and modesty-but of noble
ambition and iron will-will subdue the
Telegraph and the Railroads, strong and
proud and arrogant as they are, to the very
quality Of the people.
The money power will try to crush him.,
as it tried to crush old Hickory-but, with
a like result.
Keep your eye on Creswell! He is COM
ingsall the time. Honest, courageous, pa
triotic, strong, he is for the greatest good
to the greatest number.

Horrible Murder.

Tho Nevada Transcript OF March
9th gives the following particulars of
the recent murder In that Vicinity:
On Tuesday night last. at about eight
o'clock. A. Lind, superintendent Of a
new mine, about halt q mile from
North Bloomfield, was murdered In n
most brutal and cowardly manner. 1t
appears he left a saloon at Bloomfield
at eight o'clock In the evening to 20
home, and when about forty yards
above the N. B. G. NJ. Co.'s building,
OH Moore's Flat road. he was murdered
and brutally mutilated. James Mar
riott, Jr., A. l.. Clark, George Victor
and Mr.. Simmons, hearing the shots.
and a man crying. "Oh, my God !"
proceeded In the direction where the
shots were fired, and found Lind dead.
From a gentleman who came down
from that place. we learn that the four
shots were fired In such rapid success.
sion that 1t was the impression that 1t
was done with a self cooking revolver.
Limbs face and head was mutilated
with an az or n Ratchet. A man
named Francis Blair, who had prevl-
ously had some dispute with Lind, and
followed Lind out of the saloon, and
who lives In the same direction. was
suspected and arrested. The body of
the deceased was found in the road,
with bullet holes In IL, apparently from
revolver. Adeep cash from a hatcliet
severed the nose, aud with the other
end Of the Ratchet the skull was
crushed, and there were other wounds
about the person. At midnight Under
Sheriff Potter was sent for and went
to Bloomfield. From circumstances
connected with the affair, and the tes-
timony elected at the inquest, he made
a complaint against Francis Blair. and
he was taken Into custody. r-.ggE.

stones where the big ruby was found.
Hare and a companion, following STAN
toms directions. travelled thither, reach
ing there In about eight days. It Is
about 40 miles northwest from Fort

about loose all over the surface. No

Hare thinks there arc plenty Of them

found plenty OF rubiea, all Of which
the lapidaries pronounce genuine, and

A Man Stabbed.

About /. O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
says the Sacramento Union Of yestes-
day, a man reported at the station
house that a Kanaka had been stabbed
q few minutes before ina house on
Sycamore street, Slater's Addition.
Officers Shellars and Dunlevy prompt.
ly went over and found the wounded
man lying on his stomach In; the back.
room OF a small house that stood
about forty feet from the street. All
the parties about were Kariskas. and
with one or two exceptions, they were
all drunk. 1t appears that the wonnd-
ed man, whose Kanaka name. Is Nu-
.hiya, but who gave his name tosus as
Harry, Is a stranger to that portion OF
the town. He appeared there four or
five days ago. and has been on q drunk
since then. Yesterday morning he
and TWO Kanaka women-Julta Maku-
min and Mrs. Jim Crowe-and a young
Kanaka named Thomas Sylvesters
were In Julia's house OF the east
side of the street. The women
and Nuhiva got into a fight. Syfyss-
ter, who was the only one ofthe party
that was sober, and seems to be an in
telllgent and welI-disposed young man.
says he tried to separate them, but
failed and left the room. Julia was
then on top, and was beating Nuhiva
with a frying pan. Immediately after
he left the room, Nuhiva called out
that he had been cut, and ran across
tho street Into another house. Here
his coat and shirt were stripped of,
and he was laid on the floor while a
doctor and the police were sent for.
The wound bled very freely, and blood
spots marked the path be crossed over
In. going from one Of the honses to
the other. His shirt was saturated In
It, and there was a large pool Of 1t on
the floor. The officers Immediately
arrested Julia, but she denied having
done the emitting, saying that she had
no knife, aud turned her pockets inside
out to evidence the fact. Her sister,
Mrs. Grove, and tho other kanakas,
however, were unanimous In accusing
her Of the crime, and there isnodoubt
but that she Is the guilty party. Mrs.

the knife "a small butcher Knife
with a blade about six inches
long. When found, the knife was
~clean-that Is, clean so far as blood
was concerned. Mrs. Grove, in ex-
PLANTATION, said that she washed the
knife just after 1t had been used by
Julia. The wound inflicted upon Nh.
hiya was about two and a half inches
deep and quite broad. 1t was on the
left side, about SIX inches from the
backbone. between the lower rib and
the top of the pelvis. The cut slanted
downward. The physician who arrived
to attend the wounded man now
thinks the injury Is very dangerous.
Nuhiya did not seem to suffer much
probably he was too drunk to feel a
great deal-but talked with those
near him In a very animated manner.
The officer took Julia, Mrs. Grove and
Sylvester TO the station-house, tile lat

COMPLICATED.

The Oakland incest case has assumed
a strangely complicated appearances,
by the girl, Katie Gordon, now declar-
ing that she told lies and perjured her
self In Court. She says that what she
testified to in the first place was true
that her father, and not her lover, Rob
inson. was alone guilty OF improper
intimacy with her. She exonerates
Robinson and renewstho former charge
against her father. Meanwhile, Robin
son Is held in the sum Of $1,000 to ap-
pear and answer to the charge of per-
jury. Tho girl being the principal
witness In the affair, has stultiied her
self completely, and proven to be such
n deliberate. unblushing liar, that the
case should be thrown out Of court.
Her testimony Is worse than useless.
She will swear that she Is the only
guilty party next. With regard to the
