Gold Currency Notes.

The formation ola gold note bank al

still others which are In contemplation
In the interior, will contribute to ia.
miliarize the people with them. and SO
extend the usefulness Of the banks
which is very nearly porportioned to
their circulation. In the cities where
gold note banks have been established.
this currency Is accepted as freely as
gold ; in fact, people prefer 1t to gold
to carry about their persons. But
many residents of sections where the
gold note has not yet come to circulate,
retain a preference for coin. Perphaps
all do not clearly understand both that
the bank holds coin for the redemption
Of its notes. and. second, that the Gov
eminent guarantees the sOlvency of the
bank-that Is, guarantees the recemp-
ton. Disposition to discriminate against
the notes will disappear with familiar
ity with their use !; and as they are
really more suitable than coin for the
purposes Of currency, on the score OF
portability and convenience, their in

New TN MINE DIscovERED.-A
new tin mine, reputed to be Of won.
deriul richness. was discovered about
three mouths ago In q direction south
east Of this place, distance about twelve
miles. Experts pronounce 1t to he oil
the very best quality Of tin ore, sur.
passing in richness any yet discovered
In this county-and this Is the only
county in the State, We believe. that
tin has yet been discovered In any
great deposits. Messrs. Gass & Co.
are the lucky discoveries, of this mine,
and for certain reasons, best known to
themselves, we suppose, they have kept
very reticent about this discovery until
recently. Harden wager will take with
him to San Francisco, In about two
weeks 800 or 400 pounds Of this ore
for assay. We are anxious to see the
returns from the assay, believing, from
the representations made Of It's rich
ness, that It will equal, II not surpass,
our celebrated remescal tin niue.

The Saddest Results of Shining.

In consequence Of Stokes's infatua.
ton with Josie Mansfield, his wife
procured a divorce. The same steamer
that carried that document to her IN
Europe, carried also the news Of the
murder of Fisk. On account of the
same, Mrs. Sutton, a sister Of Stokes,
has been discarded by her husband for
adhering so strongly to the fortunes OF
her hapless brother. The senior
Stokes has been rendered bankrupt
thereby, and one brother. ayoung man
of great promise, died some three
months ago of grief aud shame, while
the remaining members Of the family
arc In the deepest distress. Stokes,
the murderer, was, not very many
years ago, a handsome and affectionate
boy, aud the pride of his parents.

wait'' take hold on hell"

AT Walla Walla. Washington Ter
ritory,a few weeks ago, they had a
first-class young earthquake. which is
graphically described in ar Olympia
newspaper. The performance began
with a terrible cannonading, and tidal
waving houses rocked and windows
ratified ; clocks stopped, walls creaked;
the people rushed frantically into the
streets; the vibration lasted 80 min
utes, and there were Two milder shocks
to taper or with. The mercury fell IL
degrees instantaneously and the tidal
rave swept a big boom Of logs seven
feet high and dry. The correspondent
Of the Olympia journal describes the
phenomenon graphically but not scien-
tifcally, when he says: "There WAS a
kind Of quivering attached to the crit
ter that was very similar to the last
dying struggle Of a sperm whale, when
the harpoon Is we'll fixed In his vitals."

The Santa Cru, Robbery:

The Blakely trial. for the robbery Of
the safe In the County Treasury, has
reached a curious climax. The alleged
murderer Of several public women,
Charles Mortimer, has been on the
stand, giving his confession to having
tied Treasurer Blakely. while F. A.
Him, one of tho most substantial citi-
zens of that county, testified that he
saw Blakely on the day following the
offence, and his wrists aud neck showed
no marks Of violence. George w.
Tyler, attorney at law, swears that
Mortimer was In San Francisco on the
4th Of February two days after the
alleged robbery. and borrowed three
dollars. II. II. Ellis, San francisco
detective, swears that he and Captain
Lees were both Of the oppinion that
the robbery was committed by Blakely
himself. He said that they expert
mented on the vault, by locking men
into It, and Mr.. Him was the first one
to open the door, by showing back the
bolt from the inside. Albert Brown,
late County Clerk, testified that he saw
Blakely on the morning after the rob
berry and could see no marks on his
neck or wrists, where lie had been
bound or gagged. He also testified
that he tied and gagged Captain Isaiah
Lees, but that he worked the gag of
by moving his jaws. The evidence OF
the man Mortimer Is only to be con-
| sidered with the utmost caution. lie
Is known to be a most desperate man,
and stands accused ofappalling crimes
elsewhere hence his testimony In re-
gard to having assaulted the Treasurer,
and robbins the safe. should only be
believed II corroborated by the testi'
mony Of other and more credible wit,
nesses. 1t Is a most singular case. and
It Is hard to divine what its outcome

LAURA D. FAIR delivered her wolf
in the fold lecture at Sacramento again
evening before last, to an audience OF
about two hundred persons. She gave
some Of the San Francisco papers par
ticular fits, and also pitched into
preachers, priests, editors, reporters
and other unfortunates in right wolfish
style. She thinks that jury, which &C
quilted her, all noble men, worthy to
receive her highest approval aud eulo-
GUM. On Wednesday evening she
did up her wolves before an audience
Of one hundred persons at Stockton.
The Stockton Independent speaks OF
her lecture as being Of "more
than average intellectual force" The
Truckee Republican says she is coming
over the mountains.

BOSTON FIRE SUGGESTIONS.

Shortly after the great Boston fire
there was a very general demand that
the severe lessons taught on that occa-
sion should be made Of practical use.
What these lessons were, very few
could fully specify, but they certainly
were summed up In the idea that some
thing precautionary had to be done to
prevent, II possible, big fires In large
cities. This was the palpable fact. A
commission Of five citizens Of Boston
was appointed to examine into the
causes Of the fire and to recommend the
most feasible preventive measures for
future action. This committee have
finished their labors and given the re-
suit Of the investigation to the world.
They pronounce, In strong terms,
against narrow streets, high buildings,
and mansard roofs, and make many
other practical suggestions, which
would apply we'll to any other city as
well as Boston; for instance, that In
blowing up buildings at a fire, dyna-
mite should DO the explosive used, be-
cause 1t can be safely transported dur
Ing a fire, and that a quantity should
be kept on hand, and \ portion Of the
Fire Department instructed In Its use
that the law regarding explosives
should DO revised that more engines
should be purchased; that the city
should have a better distribution OF
water; that the supply Of fuel for
steamers should be methodlcal; that
bridges should be supplied for the pro-
lection of hose; that the Committee
on the Fire Department have larger
jurisdiction ; that the Office Of fire in
spector be created; that the building
act be carefully revised; especially
that elevators In warehouses be forbid
den unless having self-closing hatch
ways; that proper sliding valves be
placed on gas mains, and that fre-ex-
tinguishers aud hand hose be generally
used. There Is not a city on the con-
tinent to-day where these suggestions
might not be adopted with propriety.

POLITICAL,

The Philadelphia Age, speaking for the
Democracy of Pennsylvania, repudiates Ohio
conglomerates and all their devices.
The ST. Louis Times (democratic) styles
the new party Convention at Columbus a
"wretched and ridiculous affair" 1t calls it
the ''lIyde-and- go seek party The Repub.
lican (democra;ic) of that city approves the
movement.
The regular August election in Kentucky
passed off very quietly on Monday last There
was but little excitement throughout the
State, barring few closely contested coun-
ties aid districts, and light vote was polled.
The only officer elected on a general ticket
was the State Treasurer, and Hon. James w.
Tate the present Democratic incumbent of
the Office, was chosen by the customary ma
jority.
w. B. Machen, who desires to succeed
Governor Preston II. Leslie in the Executive
chair of kentucky, has written a five column
letter in defence of the back salary grab.
lie says ''there is no moral distinction between
front and back pay, and the equities are about
equal"
Western politicians powdering the hair
with hay seed and wearing blue overals may
remind some of the Boston lawyers who cam
pagned in the days of "Tippecanoe and Ty-
Ter too" down on the capes, in a tarpaulin,
fisherman's boots, and pea jacket.

B.1 Y AND RIVER RAILROAD,

In an editorial the Rockland Free Press oil
this week says We have the best of author
ity for saying that proposition has been
signed by certain parties, who are said to be
fully able and responsible, to build the Bay
River Road on terms which are not only
reasonable, but as we believe which may be
easily complied with. AS we understand it,
we are not at liberty to state the specific
terms of this proposition this week, but it
will probably be brought to the attention of
our citizens and all interested, very soon,
when they will be called upon to consider it..
We desire to call their attention to the subject,
in order that they may thi TX about it and be
prepared to act promptly for their best in
terests if a proposition to aid the extension to
a moderate extent should be necessary If
the proposal to build the road is as reliable as
We believe it is, there should be no delay in
complying with its conditions, and insure the
building of the road within the year 1874.
Towns and individuals who have stock in the
Knox & Lincoln Railroad do not now consid-
er it worth anything. If the Bay & River
Railroad is built, it will give to that stock an
immediate value, we predict, sufficient to
compensate Its holders for all they will be
asked to do for the latter road, and what is of
more consequence, relieve them within a
short time, of the annual payment of inter
est on their bonded Knox < Lincoln debt.
We do this with confidence, on account of the
very flattering business which our discon-
nected road has done, and feeling well as
sured that it must do vastly more as sect
ion of continuous line than in its detached
condition.

two days,) in the remaining part of this let
ter. but will hasten along and mention few
OF the many things that claimed my attention.
The Canongate Tolbooth and Court House,
a ffne specimen of Scottish architecture of the
period OF James vi, and of also the Canon
gate Church yard. Here found the resting
places of Robert Ferguson, Adam Smith (au-
thor of the Wealth of Nations), Dugald
Stewart, the professor of Moral Philosophy !;
DIR. Adam Ferguson, the historian of the Ro-
man Republic. and David Allen the artist.
Ferguson the poet, who died at the early age
of twenty three, was friend of Burns, and
on the front of the monument he placed the
following lines
mo sculptured marble here no pompous lay,
No storied urn or animated bustl
This simple stone directs pale Scotia's Wav
To pour her sorrows DER her poets DUST
After leaving this, few steps further along
on the opposite side of the street is the Morav
House, celebrated from the fact that Oliver
Cromwell took up his quarters here in l648.
and that two years later the same house was
the scene of the marriage of Lady Mary
Stuart with Lord Lorn. Eleven years later
the bridegroom persisted with many others, as
defenders of the Covenant at the Cross in the
"Graes Market" which the readers of the
Heart of Mid Lothian" will remember as
the place where old "Parteus" was hung by
the mob.
John Knox's house, projecting into the
street at the Netherbow, is the next house
worthy of notice on the way up High street.
The house is in quite good preservation
Over the door is the inscription somewha
time worn, but still dscernible, 'Lufe God
abuf all, and ye NEIGHBOUR as yiself." A
dirty tobacco shop is kept in the baseme Mt
fronting the street, which signifies that the
glory of that house has also departed.
Rla6l +ri.
most famous closes in the city, and the Old
Mint House of Scotland in the Cowgate adj
joining where Queen Anne with her Danish
mobiles and ambassadors were wont to hold
splendid banquet, are now frcquented by the
scum Of the city, and to the pedestrian pre-
sent little inducement for Il protracted visit.
The Old Cross of Edinburg, and the site of
the old Talboo,h, or "Heart of Mid. Lothian, 3"
now marked on the pavement by the figure of
heart, are places where the tourist likes to
linger for meditation, and l will grant the
same indulgence to the reader, by closing
this letter before having seen the castle, Or it
would otherwise be too lengthy.
