THE HEATHEN CHINEE.

The Democracy have ever fought against
the Chinese Treaty, by which Chinese cool
les are invited to our shores and protected
by the strong arm of the Government after
tney get here. Their presence here and
their coming by thousands is due wholly to
the party in power for the last twelve years.
1t is due to the Republican Congressman
that ships are paid million dollars a year
to enable them to bring these slaves to Cali
forna in swarms. 1t was a Republican
treaty with China 'tha. guaranteed these
Asiatic slaves all the rights, privileges and
proteetien in California Of the citizens of the
most favored nations Of Europe. 1t was
the act of the Republican party that made
the beastly Chinaman the equal here of the
lrishman, German, Englishman, Frenchman
etc. 1t was and is the Republican party
that has driven out and kept out of CalRor
mia white labor, both male and female, 'unti
nearly the whole public is forced to tolerate
and accept the services of these lhieving
nasty creatures. And now how utterly dis
gusting to see these very leaders in the Re
publican party trying to kick up great ex-
citement on the Chinese question just be-
cause it is on the eve of an election, and they
want to be continued in power, so they can
steal while longer. 1t isiin'the power Of the
president to notify the Chinese government
that the treaty will be abrogated on the
meeting of Congress next December. This
nasty treaty was the trucking act of Sew
ard, Buringame and the Lincoln Repnbli-
can Administration, one which the Republi-
can Aunkies of San Francisco licked the
dust to Burlingame, wearing Chinese
cue;; and these same time-serviug pups are
raising cain about the Chinese in San Fran
cisco. They should go after Grant and his
Mobilier Congress. They are the only par
ties that can annul the treaty. The treaty
SwAs originally disgrace to this country. 1t
s.'as not one of amity-the Chinese taking all
they asked ard concedng us nothing but a
few commercial privileges. Out upon the
craven lick-spittle hypocracy of these cra-
ven Republican slaves of San Francisco! 1t
is done only to catch votes at this election.
The people will never get rid of these Chi
nese slaves until a Democratic adminstra-
tionand congress is placed in power. They
viii mash che treaty and move the Chinese
inthe first year. 1t is the only party thai
will protect the white men and women o.
this country. 1t is the man and brother
Republicans that must answer for this Chi
nese nuisance.

MODOC WAR ENDED.

AT last Captain Jack has thrown up the
sponge, and we may now consider the Mo-
doc war ended. The spols of the war are
about nine Modoc scalps, fifty Modoc war
riors and hundred squaws and pappooses,
few crowbate ponies and lot of lousy
blankets; expenses, one of our best gener-
ais, $50 soldiers killed and wounded, some
citizens, women and children murdered, and
one or two million dollars spent in the six
months war. To say nothing Of the lives
we have lost, it is safe to say that each Mo
doc warrior has cost the Government 5000,
900. But what are We to do with the Mo-
docsp Tecumseh Sherman now has them
whereqhe can wreak his vengeance; where
he can resell in blood to his hearts content,
but will he do it? will he murder captive
squaws and pappooses? aye. will he even
shoot or hang the captive warriors? We
can not answer these questions. The civil
lied world will say no. The Oregon au-

THE DISSOLUTION AT HAND.

We have had Pages funky pinned to the
wall for a long time, wriggling and squirni-
ing like the contortions of snake with its
back broken, and if it (the Page hunky)
ever had any brains, they have now about
all oozed out in its dying throes last week /;
and it is now swollen and green all over from
the poison of its own fangs. We nailed to
its carcass two weeks ago a half pur-
lie lies, and last week it wriggled Though
nearly u column Of slime and falls at the end
convicted liar. But Providence, apparently
fearing that some one might possibly believe
something in the argus, induced it to insert
that which all men know to BE- base lie
we give it here:
1--WE could very consistently say that any man
who has free pass over the railroad, was tool
of the Company, yet we are perfectly willing that
Leland Stanford should continue to furnish his
pass to Joe Walkup.'
This pure hunky knew this was lie
when he penned it, knew that every man in
the county and State, as far as we or the
HERALD are known would deuounce it as
lie, and its author as both liar and fool.
Surely the stockholders of the Argus and even
the rhnoceros hded ring and railroad stool
pigeons, must blush for shame at the contor-
tions of this branless, liliputian lickspittle of
the Auburn ring. The poor creature is too
bic fool to be even amusing.

THE Sacramento Bee claims TO have pos
tive information that Governor Booth will
soon withdraw from the Senatorial contest.
The. Bee is probably specializing on the
result Of the Sacramento convention. and
Booth and the Unions determination to run
linn little in and little out of The Repub.
lican party. From such a standpoint Booth
can get no support from any party. AL
ready our Liberal and Democratic ooteppo-
raries all over the State have turned from
him, and the monopolists have laid the
wires that willenot leave grease spot Of
him SenstoriARy. We wished him a better
fate, lNthisananagers willed it otherwise.
NScwis she' time for him to reassert his dec
'lardtion that he viii serve out his full term
as Governor Of the State. That will bring
'joy'to the people in the assurance that for
two years yet the State and people will not
be wholly the property of the monopolists.
But should the Bee be mistaken, and Booth
persist in allowing the use Of his name, and
the decentralization and defeat of bis friends
in the railroad conventions and caucusses,
he will have committed crime in securing
the success of Gorham or some other mo-
nopoly Hunky that vii, stain and destroy
his political prospects in all future life.
TUE Grass Valley Union has got good
thing. The Transcript is the Republican or
gan of the county, and it is afraid of Booth
and fears Sargent and the monopoly. The
U,ion has got a long pole and is punching
the Transcript on the Senatorial question;
the Transcript snaps at the pole occasional
", but utters no word on the issue. We
think the Transcript vii! answer after the
10th inst. when the Sacramento convention
shall have bagged Booths scalp. Our

Mortimer for the last two weeks before be
was hanged. The rope is around the off,

will spring the traps next September, but

Mica Is a purely transparent and
elastic stone, that can be split to any
degree of thinness; aud OF late Il be-
coming an object Of great use In the
arts. The finest mica in the world II
found in the Allegheny mountains,
on the Eastern border of Tennessee;
and mining and quArrying II is being
carried on upon an extensive scale
aud with great profit 10 this species
Of industry, for the supply falls far
short OF the demand. Such Is the
interest manifested in the prOduc-
ton OF mica as an article. of com
merce. that these mountains have
recently been thoroughly exploded
for the finest specimines Of this min
erai; and the Investigation has led
10 the discovery of old excavations
that have been worked by q people
prehistoric time-possible by the
mound builders Of the stone age.
The hunters aud settlers ofthemoun-
tains have always regarded these
old mines a. remarkable sink-holes.
and now they are much sought for
as the source of the most profitable
quarries. Often-times, clearing
away the debris. blocks of mica have
been discovered partially dressed,
with chisel marks plainly TO be seen
and other iudubitabl0 evidences OF
having been blocked out by hand.
Probably the finest quarry in this
country and one furnishing the
most astonishing evidence that Il
has been worked by a people where
Of we know nothing, is the old mine
re-0pened aud now worked so prof
itabiy by Messrs, Heap a Clapp,
near Webster n. &. Aside from
the material advantages 10 our in
dustrial resources, this discovery OF
ancient mines OF the early abOrigi-
nies il very iaterestingas a new link
in the history of the habits civiliza-
ton OF people that even a tradi-
tiOns OF the natives four hundred
years ago give no account whatever.

LIFE LEAVES.

The daF, wIIh iGs sandals dipped iu- Dew,
Has passed through the evenings geidon
gates,
And a single star in the cloudless blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
While the winds that sigh TO the languid
hsuFs,
A lullaby breathe DER the r0Idcn flowers
The lilies nod TO the sound Of the stream,
That winds along with mliing nOw,
And either awake, or half In dream
pass through the realms Of Long Ago;
While faces peer with many n smile
From the bowers OF Msmory's magical isle.
There are ashen memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes and broken vow,
And an aching heart 10y the restless main,
And the sea breeze tanning palid brow /;
And a wanderer on the shell-lined shore
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There sre passions strong and ambitions
wild,
And the fierce desire 70 stand in the van
or the battle Of nfr-and the heart Of the
child
Is crushed in the breast Of the struggling
man;
But short the regrets, and few are the tears,
That fall on the tomb Of the vanished years.
There's a quiet and peace, and domestic
love.
And the joys arising from faith and truth,
And love unquestioning, far above
The passionate dreamings Of ardent
youth;
And kisses Of children on lip and cheek,
And parents bliss which no tongue can
speak.
There are loved ones lost! There are htrle
graves
In the distant dell, meath projecting trees,
Where the streamlet winds and the violet
waves,
Aud the grasses sway to the signing
breeze;
And we mourn for the pressure Of tender
lips
And the light of eyes darkeued in deaths
eclipse.
And thus, as the glow Of the daylight dies
And the nights first look to the earth is
cast,
gaze meath those beautiful summer skies
At the pictures that hang on the wall Of
the past;
Oh, Sorrow and joy chant mingled lay
When to memory's wildwood We wander
