SEVERAL ITEMs.-From Mr.. w. ID.
Sutherlin, who returned this week from
below, we obtain these items
Bill Maloney, formerly Justice of the
Peace at Weaverville, was recently at
San Francisco. Mr.. Maloney is inter
ested in quartz mines in Idaho Territory
and thinks he has big thing, as is usual
in such cases.
Ned Curtis is Secretary and acting
Governor of Idaho Territory, and has
accumulated considerable property. -
Bully FOR Ned.
Mr.. +. Juiard, who formerly sold goods
on Lower Trinity, has entered into part
nership with Ned Neblett at Santa Rosa.
AS Mr.. Juliard has about one hundred
thousand dollars hard cash for a starter,
it is to be expected that the new firm will
do smashing business.

CORRESPONDENCE.
WEAVER CREEK, January 18th.


DEAR JoURNAL.-By way of graceful
ly laying down the editorial quill which
l have been driving for the past six
months, l shall follow the worthy ex-
ample set by old friend and partner ia
cinto and once more endeavor to en-
tighten the readers of the JOURNAL as
to the doings of that portion of the world
in the vicinage of my present location.
1t is hardly necessary for me to say that
have been out of the county for some
time, as the numerous visits | received
from the Trinity boys while sojourning
in Shasta, indicated that my whereabouts
was pretty well known, and | tell you,
my boy, there is nothing more welcome
than the sight Of a Trinity "phiz " when
you've been over the line for little time.
Shasta is pleasant place to live in, bar
ring the dust in Summer time, and l left
there with many regrets. There are
many young folks over there who con-
trive so many ways to make the time
pass agreeably that All old wrinkled cod
ger like your uncle feels that he'll have
to emigrate or rejuvenate. l could do
the one but not the other and here l am.
When "Jacinto was telling of that
musical character, he didn't think the
avenger would be so swift upon his heels.
But consideration for his feelings induces
me to keep quiet, so | shall say nothing
about the briny tears which rolled down
the furrowed checks of the Ioosier widow,
when his coat tail vanished into the cars.
Had he read the "Pickwick Papers,"
as | have, he would have remembered
the advice of the elder Weller to " be-
ware of vidders," and the old dame would
have had nothing to weep for. But while
ling let me say "Ten Thousand Miles
Away" is played out now, and about every
other man in Shasta now is begging
"Mollie Darling" " to say that she loves
him, to which is generally superadded
the request to "place your little hand in
mine." l don't well see how Mollie can
love them all, but they keep after her
with a persistence that ought to bring
some success. Perhaps the tune will
travel this far, and | don't want to be
held responsible if it does.
was surprised to see so little water
when | got where mining is going on,
but the fact is there has been Il great
deal more rain fallen over the mountains
than here. The Yreka Union styles DR..
Shurtleff the "champion ran-measurer "
of the State, and the JOURNAL even in
mated that there must be some mis-
take, but there was none, the rainfall of
Shasta has been fully double that of this
county. 1t would not take very great
storm to start the claims all to work now
as the ground has the appearance Of being
we'll wetted. | hear of but few claims
which have started in except some Of
those which have command OF large wa
ter privileges. | expect to rat around
somewhat for the next few days, and if
find anything worth jotting down will let
you hear from me again. lMPREsoR.

Oar Bodily EIIEirnlitics.

Physical infmties are the lot of all.
Millions are always sick. No man, wo-
man or child is uniformly in perfect
health. Much, however, of the sickness
and suffering which render life burden
to so many of our fellow being is due to
carclessness and neglect. A mighty an
tidote to the leading causes Of disease has
been provided. 1t is rs harmless as it is
efficient. No poisonous drug enters into
its composition. 1t is an undetled stim-
ulant, tonic and aperient, of which every
ingredient is vegetable. This uncXcep-
tionable preventive and restorative medi-
cine is not "a new thing under the SUM-"
have been before the world quarter of
a century; and it is not too much to aver
that thousands, aye, tens Of thousands,
are now using it who would have been in
their graves years ago had they not been
strengthened and sustained by this whole
some stimulant. The rapidity with
which minor aiment often become, when
neglected, obstinate diseases, is well
known. This tonic is famous for the i'm
mediate check which it gives to these
breeders of deadly disorders. The sensa-
ton of languor, the sick headache, the
nervousness, the indisposition to exertion,
the nausea, the confusion of brain, the
physical debility, which are intended to
premonish us of the approach of serious
danger, are invariably removed by a few
doses of the Bitters. The fame of the
preparation as a genuine specific for dys-
pepsia, bilious complaints, malarious fe-
vers, rheumatism and chronic debility, is
as wide as the world and in these days
of infamous charlatanism, when fierce
cathartics, that rob the invalid of the last
remnants of his strength, are advertised
as invigorants CD, it is indeed blessing
to mankind that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitter are everywhere procurable, and
everywhere popular Liam.

The Late King Of saxonY.

In King John of Saxouy, who has Just
died, Germany loses one of her most en-
lightencd aud polished rulers, and one OF
her best critics and poetical translators.
His translation of Dante, which he uub-
lished under the nom de plume g HRila-
lethes,n is universally acknowledged TO
be the best rendering Of the Italian poet
in the German language. He has for
years past been at work upon trausla-
tiOn of Shakespeare and Of modern British
and American poeis but these works,
by his direction, arc not 10 be published
until af,er his death.
King John was born in 1901, and dur
ing bis long ifetime witnessed the grand
cur and decline of Saxony. In his child
hood the country over which his father
Anthony ruled was larger at one time
than Prussia, of which SaXOny is now
little better Than a dependency. During
the reign of his brother, King Frederick
Augustus, Pince John was extremely nm
popular, because he WAS believed to be n
reaetionlst both in politics and religion,
/ This impression was found TO be utterly
unfounGed as soon as he became King.
The policy of the Slxouy Cont became
at once more liberal, and if King John

struggle between that empire aud frus

partly because SaX1uy was believed to be
at the mercy of the former power, and
partly because majority of the Saxon
