TIE third century celebration of the
Leyden University has revived the
discussion a. to whether Milton took
his Idea of Paradise Lost directly
from the Holy Scriptures, or whether
he borrowed 1t from the old Anglo.
Saxon poem, 'Christ and Satan," BY
Caedmon, or whether It was the dra-
ma "Lucifer," written four years be-
fore Caedmon's poem, by a Neither
land poet, Joost van den Vondel,
which inspired Milton to write his i'm
mortal epic. On the occasion Of that
celebration, a list OF all the students
that had attended the university dur
ing the last three hundred years was
published, and in the list Of figures
the name Of Milton. It appears that
Milton became q regular student at
Leyden at tho age Of about twenty
years, and at the very time when Von-
del enjoyed his very highest renown.
It Is also known that Milton was quite
c~onversant with the Dutch language ;
indeed, Disraeli has called attention
to 1t In his "Amenities Of Literature )"
and taking both facts together, the
Dutch make out a pretty strong claim
as to the origin Of the greatest poem
In the English language.

WE have been wont 10 regard this

one-a land OF stern realities and
wooden-nutmegs destitute Of the imag-
lnative graces, and Of tho poetic i'm

lean suItor when refused by his adored

going off Into a lonely melancholy and
the cold and silent tomb. as any right
minded native Of any other country
would do, he just pulls out Il pistol
and calmly but firmly kills the unap-
preciative lady. Remembering in
stances Of practicallty like this, we are
surprised to see this oracular remark
In the Detroit Free Press: Fire a

From j. w. Crawford, who visited

an important mineral discovery 10 that
portion OF our highly favored district.
1t seems that Messrs. j. B. Osborne.
i. J. Ely and Geo. J. Gardner were
Impressed with the belief that there
were good lodges undiscovered In that
locality. Accordingly, on Tuesday
morning last they put some men 10
work at a point just across the ravine
from the Justly celebrated Geddes &
Bertrand. Within six inches Of the
surface q perfect foot-wall was dis
closed, carrying splendid carbonate
ore Of extraordinary richness. Work
has been industrlously prosecuted for
two days, aud last night q depth Of
eight feet had been reached. An In
cline is being carried down seven feet
In width, and, so far as prospected, the
ledge Is known to exceed five feet 10
thickness. About ten tons Of ore, estl-
mated to be worth over 5000 per ton,
have already been deposited on the
dump. The lucky discoveries have
located three claims OF 1000 feet each.
to be known as the Osborne and Elzy
series. Good judges are Of the opinion
that the new discovery will ere long
eclipse the famous Geddes & Bertrand.
It 10 certainly q very important dis
covery, and the gentlemen whose good
fortune It was to make It are In every
way deserving OF such a substantial
streak Of luck. They are among our
most enterprlsing and persistent min
ing men. We congratulate them on

tinatlon is at present indefinite. since
the object Of the tour is to give the

A la CALIFoRNIA.-We have re-
ceived from A. L. Bancroft & Co.. pub
fishers, San Francisco, a copy of the
new book just issued BY them. entitled
"a la California ; or, Sketches OF Life
In the Golden State" BY Col. Albert
s. Evans. As Its name Indicates, the
contents Of tho work comprise a choice
collection of incidents and sketches,
humorous and otherwise characteristic
aud illustrative Of the first chapter In
the history Of California following the
American occupation Of the country
and the great gold discovery which so
electrified all nations-a golden era In
the history Of the world, which sent
the llfe-blood and social ideas Of all
rushing aglow into new and different
channels from those to which they had
hitherto been accustomed by long usage
and Evolutionary accord. 1t was by far
the most brilliantly marked epoch Of
the present century, and to which the
minds Of all who Joined in the grand
revolutionary rush over land and sea
to the new land Of promise, glowing
in refulgent glory on the shores Of
the Pacific, now revert back to and
fondly remember as a golden dream
a dream which was not all a dream.
AS might be presumed from the wide
spread and favorably known reputa-
ton Of Its gifted, but unfortunate au-
thor. the work possesses high literary
merit, and its freshness and peculiar
vitality Of style In detailing the scenes
and Incidents Of the famous times 81
which It treats, will recommend It to
the perusal not only OF every old Pa.
ciic Coast Pioneer, but to others as
we'll. II there Is any incompleteness
observable In Its closing details and
arrangements, let 1t BE- borne In mind
That Its lamented author persisted In
the unfortunate disaster when the
steamship Missouri was burned at sea
one year ago, while on her passage from
New York toward Havana. As stated
In the preface to the work, BY w. II.

Thought IL advisable to attempt to re-
wise or change It for better or worse.
