Mr.. Greeley and Young VANDERBILT.

was told by a gentleman In a POSI-
ton to be informed that he had no
doubt that Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr,
had borrowed from Horace Greeley
during a series of years, at least $780,
600. instead Of one fifth OF that sum. as
Is usually supposed. He appeared to
have been a perfect leech upon the
late Tribune chief, and to have been In
the habit Of, accompanying him on va
rious Journeys under the pretense OF
friendship, but really for the purpose
Of plumber. Why MIR. Greeley should
have allowed himself to be duped by z
man whom he knew to be totally ire
sponsible and worthless, Is n OF the
enipmas In the journalists character
that will never be made clear. He
gave the money freely when nobody
| else, not even his wealthy father would
have favored the degenerate son with
q loan of five dollars.
The report that Commodore Wander
bilt, after hearing OF Mr.. Grecley's In
yolved estate, had determined to pay
over to tho editors daughters the sum
| Cornelius, Jr., had obtained from their
amiable parent Is wholly without
foundation. Those acquainted with
the Commodore will readily acquit
him Of any such Intention. Nothing
could have been further from his
thoughts than the restitution. to any.

dollars borrowed by his hopeful of:

A QUESTION which recently agltated

A QUESTION which recently agltated
the Scarbourgh tEng.) Board of Guar
dams, was, whether the paupers In the
workhouse should have brandy sauce
with their plum pudding at Christmas.
It having been voted to cut off the
brandy. Dr.. Rablah, the medical officer
Of the workhouse, wrote q letter to the
Board containing the following profess
sional opinion: "As your medical
officer, allow me to say that plum
pudding without brandy sauce Is de-
cidedly indigestible, but with It Ia very
good and wholesome" The doctor
was so much In earnest In this opinion
that he sent also q donation Of half q
gallon of brandy to be used for the
sauce. Another benevolent gentleman
hearing of the dreadful deprivation to
which the paupers were to be subjected
also sent q bottle Of brandy. So the
paupers Of Scarbourgh had brandy
sauce after all. and escaped Qf DR..
Rablah was rightly the gnawing pangs
Of indigestion.

Watsry Death.

Between nine and ten o'clock on

of Fourth street, and then after ioof.

to see that she was not followed, con-

until deem water was reached. The
woman was dressed In dark cloths,
and had a dark shawl wrapped closely
around her shoulders. Her step was
quick and nervous, while there was
something In her action which denotea
that she wassorely troubled: Two or
three times she approached the railing
which guards the sides ofthe bridge,
and looEedint the dark waters beneath
her feet as II trying to pierce the Dol
tom and solve the mysteries that .
plunge beneath them would reveal,
and shuddering, as II seized BY an ague
chill, would draw hastily PACK ana
walk on a few steps further. For the
third or fourth time she drew near to
the edge of the bridge and looked into
the Water, then raised her head toward
heaven and wrlnging her hands In an
guish and muttering some words whicn
could not be distinctly heard. sne
leaped into the bay. After struck
the water, she gave n scream or TWO, as

ooLFAx

We have felt deeply grieved to no
tice the relentlessly cruel manner In
which quite q number Of our contem-
poraries have fiayed Vice President
Colfax for bis alleged participation In
the Credit Mobilier swindlo. They
took 1t for granted from the very first
that he was guilty, and without walt
Ing to hear a word In his defence they
proceeded forthwith to condemn, draw
and quarter him without benefit Of tho
clergy. The telegraph states that Col
fax has made an acceptable defence
and explanation, while q subsequent
telegram states that there Is talk Of
impeaching him, yet does not state
what on. II he DO really guilty, he
Is old smoothly Pecksniff himself and
has most wofully and vigorously tried
to lie himself out ola very dirty scrape,
and his exemplary life will not atone
for 1t at all. Simple justice, however,
suggests that he shall be presumed to
be innocent until proven guilty.

Gone to the Modocs.

The Humboldt Register of Saturday
seems to think that there Is something
In Sally Winnemucca's story about her
father, "old Winnemucca," and a lot
Of his braves having gone and Joined
the Modocs. 1t says: ~
A number of braves from Winnie
mucca have been missing for some
weeks, and that Is what has, probably,
become of them. Dobe John, \ prom.
inent parsonage among them, has been
missing for several weeks, and Susie,
one OF his wives. says Natchez took
him of and killed him. There has
been some ill-feellng between Dobe
John and Natchez, we understand,
ever since the counsel held by the ri.
utes, concerning the murder OF the In
dian girl Jennie. Natchez was for de-
livering the murderer up to the white
authorities for punishment, but Doee
John was opposed to It, and spirited
the murderer away. Whether JOHN
has been killed, or has Joined the Mo-
docs, Is uncertain. Our opinion Is he
has gone with other braves, to old
Winuemucca.

CarboIized Hose.

The merits Of the newly introduced
earbolizcd hose, says the San francisco
Altq, were recently tested at tho oil
fire. The drynsss Of the streets around
the confiagration when sixteen streams
were playing on It, was universally
remarked, showing that 1t does not
leak like the old fashioned hose. Chief
Scannell has given it as his deliberate
opinion that the 10000 feet recently
purchased by the city, more than paid
for itself In that fire. The oil flames,
az can after can burst. were kept from
spreading by the main force Of the
water played on 1t, and neighborlng
buildings, containing large stores Of
gasoline and saltpetre were saved
Intact, and a conflagration OF probably
a fearful nature prevented. The fol-
lowing, among other merits, are
claimed for this hose 1t will burst
before the couplings will pull of; the
engine will burst before the hose does
ct being guaranteed to stand a pres
sure of Tour hundred pounds to the
square inch)-so that wherever the eu-
gines can throw water the hose will
carry IL without leakage or sweating.

The Bishop OF London recently re-
eeived a peculiar visit. A deputation
from the workingmen's Lords Day
Rest Association waited upon hin, and
called his attention to the Sunday use
Of public vehicles BY protesting Christ
ians, and begged him to bring the mat
ter under the notice Of the societies
which were In the habit Of sending
out agents to preach in the different
churches. Then the deputation came
to close quarters with the right rever
end prelate. They asked him to preach
a sermon on the subject In ST. Paul's,
and, II he should do so, to sleep at the
Charter House on the preceding night,
and thus, BY walking to the Cathedral
in the morning. set a good example.
The Bishop said that he would think
about it.

to pay his way to Palisade, besides a

About Oysters.

There are something like $50 oyster
saloons In New York city-a fact
which indicates the general fondness
for this bivalve. The oyster trade,
taking 1t as a whole-the planting,
bringing to market, preparing, selling,
cooking and shlpping-is an immense
trade. 1t is estimated that about ten
thousand men are engaged In 1t, d.
rectly and indirectly. There are many
varieties of oysters. Tho SADDLE
Rock" Is q favorlte-so called because
first found, many years ago, In the
East river. at a place known as Saddle
Rock. But now the name Is given
generally to all large oysters. The
largest specimens from the East river
measure six inches; but the ordinary
! average Is from three to four inches.
The species generally eaten raw Is the
"Blue Point" which Is remarkable
for its delicate flavor. The "Shrews-
bury" Is one Of the most expensive and
popular varieties. Many others might
be mentioned. The British oyster has
a harsh, coppery taste; hence an ex-
tensive trade has sprung up with Eu-
rope, where the American oyster Is
highly esteemed. So carefully packed
are the oysters for shipping, that they
seldom are injured by the voyage.

White Pine Items.

From tho White Pine Nows, February 1871
We are gratiied to learn from most
reliable sources that the mining inter-
ests on Treasure Hill are commencing
to show renewed life. The Aurora
and Eberhardt Company arc constant
" adding to their force Of men the
tramway of the company Is constantly
at work, and the mill In operation.
Beside this company other valuable
properties are being put In shape to
work. The merchants are. doing better
than for weeks past, and money Is
more plentiful. Our informant states
that the mines, particularly tile Ward
Beecher. are daily improving In ap-
pearance. There Is a feeling Of contl-
dence In our future, In which we
share, and when travel opens, the old
days OF 20 will be again witnessed.
The enterprising stage proprietors,
Woodruff 4 Ennor, have recently
placed guide posts OH the road leading
into town, to assist persons In finding
the grade during heavy storms. BY
this act serious accidents will be avert
ed. as during dark and stormy nights
It has been almost impossible to find
the road, and teams were liable to up
sets and persons to be frozen.
During the coming Summer much
activity will prevail among the owners
of base metal mines In this district.

not formed already, who propose to
erect furnaces and commence opera
lions on a large scale.
From well-known mining men, we

THE pa1v1Lzes.

To the Republican party belongs
whatever Of honor there may be In the
adjustment of the franking privilege.
We hope IL will prove to be a great
measure Of reform and a vastly greater
saving to the Government than 1t now
appears to be. That this great privi-
lege has been very much abused there
Is NO sort Of doubt as 1t has never been
properly restricted, but being now
abolished altogether, there Is no fur
Their chance for abuse. II its abolish
ment does not work we'll after a year
or two's trial, 1t can be reinstated In q
modified form with beneficial restric-
tions. It Is q matter Of some historical
interest that among the first If not the
very first, to stand forth In prominent
advocacy Of this reform was George
Pitt, Esq, Of Philadelphia. In 1s4l
this gentleman, then a special agent
of the Post Office Department. made o
highly interesting report to the Hon.
John N. Niles, Postmaster General,
concerning the postal regulations Of
foreign countries. In that report he
exposed the fragrant abu'es Of the frank
Ing privilege then existing. and strong
ly urged Its abolition. The ranking
privilege had at that time, as shown In
Mr.. Pitts report, recently been abol-
ished In England, though Its use there
had been hedged about by restrictions
which would have prevented 1t from
ever being so greatly abused as In the
United States. Subsequently Horace
Greeley lent to the movement for Ia
abolition the powerful influence OF
his voice and then, and thereby
swelled the steadlly-growing current
Of popular disapprobation which hal
| finally swept it-away.
