RAILWAYS BE A NTGGER ANYHOW, >,

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Journal, a Republican organ,
tells this anecdote:
A singular incident of recuITent family
traits is found in the family Of Frederick
Douglass. As is generally known, Mr.
Douglass is far removed from the common
type of his race, and has apparently as
much white as black blood in his veins.
He is an illustration of the fact upon which
SOutherneTs always have insisted that the
ability which is occasionally so marked in
certain persons of the cOlOred race is due
to a liberal infusion of white blood. A
good story is told of Fred. Douglass and
his son when on the San Domingo
trip. Fred. Douglass son, a young
man of 20, is as genuine an African as
one often sees. He is perfectly black, thick
Tipped and wooly-headed. He accompanied
his father as private secretary on the trip to
San Domingo, and Occasioned Mr.. Douglass
much trouble by his uncircumcised tricks
The lad had a strange fondness for the
cooks galley and for the servants and peo-
pie i'll the humble stations which his race
filled. This became particularly notice
able on the arrival at San Domingo, so
much so that the Honorable Frederick one
day called the young man to himself, and
endeavOred to impress upon him the dig
nifty due to his race. He said that never
before in the worlds history had
the race Of which his father and himself
were opponents had such distinguished con-
sideratiOn. He wanted the young man 20
understand that they were the representa-
tives Of a principle, and that it was incum-
bent upon them to clOthe the place with
becoming dignity, both out Of respect to
themselves and from regard to the nation
that had given them such recognition. Par
| ticularly did he wish that this young
wOolly-headed chap should keep away from
the cooks galley and the porter's bench.
The young man was much more fond Of
fun than of his fathers philosophy. After
moments reflection he replied: 'Well,
father, what is the use; you will always be

MAzzEPpA MINE. Within the past few
days one of the most important strikes
IN this camp was made in this mine.
At the depth of 160 feet in drift con-
Meeting the new works with the old
shaft the ledge has been struck, and stop
ing has been commenced. The ore body
varies in thickness from twenty to thirty
inches and is of the finest quality, assay
ing from $4,000 to SO, 900 per ton. Mr..
caldwell the efficient Superintendent, is
pushing the work vigorously ahead, and
Will soon be sending large quantities of
ore to the surface. The ore is being
sacked under ground-owing to its great
richness, and attendant waste when
handled loosely. The mine has improved
as depth has been attained, and but
little doubt exists that it is part of the
great body of ore that cuts through the
mountain from Panaca Flat. Hosting
works are on the way from Toano. and
before many weeks this mine will add
materially to our bullion shipments.
The title is one of the oldest and most
perfect in the camp, and we have never
heard even shadow" cast upon it.
HANDSOME PREsENT.--Mr. Holland
takes this method of acknowledging the
receipt of an elegant and beautiful pres

van, of the Meagher Guards, San Fran

souvenir of old time friendship, it is
highly priced. For the care and custody
of the album from San Francisco to
Phoebe, MIR. Holland tenders his thanks
to our fellow townsman Ike Phillips.
