was stated that Daniel Maher, charged with an
assault with intent to commit murder, had taken
change OF venue to Bureau county. Where

conclusion that the Daniel Maher SO seriously
implicated is our joyial, good naturcd friend
Dan Mahcr who keeps grocery up La Sale

NEVADA STATE ITEMS.

AT about 5 clock this morning, says
the Gold Hill News of Friday, three
men, including the foreman OF the Silver
Hill mine, in lower Gold Hill, met with
a most miraculous escape from death.
They had barely stepped on the cage, at
the top OF the shaft, when they were pre-
cipitated with great rapidity to the water
in the stump at the bottom, distance Of
$50 feet. Notwithstanding the imminent
peril in which the party were involved,
Mr.. Ford, the foreman, had sufficient
presence OF mind to throw up one side of
the bonnet of the cage, thereby prevent
ing the men from being buried under
twelve hundred feet of wire cable, weigh
ing at least ton. His prompt action in
the matter saved the lives of the entire
party. The men who were in the center
compartment Of the shaft escaped drown
ing by crawling through into the pump
compartment, from whence they were
hoisted to the surface of the mine. Mr..
Ford, while in the act OF raising one Sec
ton OF the bonnet, sustained severe
bruise upon his forehead. One Of the
other men had the scalp on the top Of
his head cut open for distance Of some
three inches. DR.. Hall sewed up the
wound. The exact cause of the accident
is not clearly understood, but is probably
due to the reel getting loose somehow.
Or the volcano near Eureka, the Sen
tinel, Of Friday. says: A volcano has
recently broken out near Silverado, in
the Pinto mountains, ten miles east Of
Eureka. Heavy black smoke continually
issues from the crater, and the scene is
occasionally enlivened by sheets Of flame
which rise to great hight. There is nc
humbug about this, it is live, burning
volcano, as several gentlemen in Eurek,
can attest AL. Snetzinger and Dick Ry

day, and came back fully impressed will

THE DIFFERENCE.

The poet Whittier has written q letter
to Charles Sumner, indorsing the views
of the latter on the yirginius case. Mr..
Whittier takes the ground that though
the butchery of the caphves is to be de-
plored, an attack upon Spain by the Uni
ted States would not be justifable, be-
cause it would "give direct aid and COM
fort to the ultramontane papists-to Don
Carlos and the cruel priesthood who are
fighting against Republicanism in Eu,
rope" He thinks that such war would
be "parallel to the atrocity in the case
Of the Roman Republic by the so-called
French Republic of 1S49." The views
of Mr.. Whittier are, says the Sacramento
Record, "those of man who has not
learned to recognize the distinction be-
tween sham and true republics. This
so-called Roman Republic was no more
republic than the so-called French Re-
public of 1919, or the so-called Spanish
Republic of 1873. In neither Of these
cases was there the least approach to
comprehension of the spirit of free insti-
tutions, and if the cause of Republican
ism in Europe is represented by sucl
hopeless anarchies, there is no valid rea
son why the people of this countr.
should sympathize with or aid their con
tinuance. We have before now con
tended that there was some differenc
between a sham republic and the genuin
article, and are glad to see that we ar
not now alone in the opinions once S
generally derided.
