SATURDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

NOBLE GENEEos1rY-It is pleasant to
record such acts Of generosity and kind
heartedness as the following: In the
town of Mariposa there is-or rather
was few days ago-a little blind boy.
1t was not known that he was incurably
blind, but his father is poor and unable
to place his afflicted child where he could
receive the benefit of medical science.
Mariposa is not as rich in gold as she
was in the flush times, but she is rich in
the possession of generous men and no.
BILE women. They would bring the little
boy back to the sunshine and flowers if
money would do it, and if his recovery
is beyond the reach of science, they
would place him where the blind are ed
ucated. An entertainment was improv-
ised and over $3.50 realized The little
unfortunate is now in the care of a
skilled oculist in this city. If the YER
diet is ''incurable," he will be sent 10
the Blind Asylum. Be the result what
it may, the generosity of the people of
Mariposa will be placed to their credit
in the records of humane deeds.-S. +.

Prosperous CONDITION OF France
Dispatches from Paris of August Z, say:
An official statistical statement shows
that during the first month of the pres
emf year. the imports of France amount
ed to l. SCI, 600. 900 francs against 1,67S,-
GOO, 600 francs the same time last year,
and the exports to l, 952, 600. goo francs
against l, 727 ,OOO, 900 francs the last year;
the customs revenue to 155, O00, coo francs
against 7S, OOO, 600, and the total revenue
from all sources to SIG, 00O, 900 francs
against 404, 600, 900 for the same period
last year.
The Constitutional gives favorable ac-
count of the harvest prospects in France.
There has been marked improvement in
appearance of the crops. There is pro-
mise of an abundant harvest of excel
lent quality.
The payment of the third quarter Of
the last milliard of the Franco-German
war indemnify was completed on the 9Th
instant.

DULL.-Considering that since the first
of the month half million of dollars has
been paid to the miners and mill hands of
this county. the place is very dull and
everybody is complaining of the want of
life in business. The great depression in
stocks has a great deal to do with this
state of things. If You wan. to hurt
man, strike him where he keeps his
money, and if he does not weaken we are
no judge of human nature Even love
III cottage pales before wealth in a man
sion. If the old moralists and philoso-
pliers were among US to day they would
say get money, for after all the bright
yellow coin is the philosophers stone,
instead OF knowledge. 1t is hardly
worth mentioning that it would be well
to get money honestly, for all means are
considered honest nowadays, outside
of numbering man for his money

The SaAH's DEVOTION TO THE SEX
Before dismissing the question of gober-
moucherie need scarcely say that the
French journals teen with stories relat-
ing to the Shah's domestic life, all of
which are more or less seasoned with
what is called gros sci. You will under
stand without any further indication
from me the little turns of double enten-
DIRE and indecent persitlage which those
stories take, and how greedily they are
devoured and repeated by a population
which delights in such nastiness. But
l may tell you. as a fact, that when the
Shah visited the grand spinning and
weaving mills at Manchester, where he
saw in full employment. about 600
buxom and blooming Lancashire lasses,
he was SO struck with the sight that he
offered to buy the whole establishment,
spinning jennies, power-looms, and fe-
male operatives especially the female
operatives-right away, and transport
the lot to Tereran. And His Majesty
seemed much disappointed when inform
ed that tho laws Of Great Britain would
not admit of tho ratification of such a
bargain. Edmund Yates Paris Letter to
she Ne,o York Herald.

NEAT.-Many of our citizens have
their residences neatly adorned by shade
trees and nice gardens. Some years ago
our people either thought that the soil
was not productive, or that it was not
worth while to plant trees or to make
flower gardens, for the y were all prospec-
tive millionaires, and as soon as they
could dispose of their mines they would
return to their former homes. But when
this dream of wealth was broken and
they awoke to the fact that "all is not
gold that glitters," and that the road
to wealth is sometimes long and
tedious one, and of the thousands who
are constantly travelling it. but few meet
with success. And again, man is so
avaricious that when the most success
full have harvested what they consider
enough of the worlds goods, they are
SO worn out that the enjoyment of it il
left for another generation. Many of
our citizens appear to be alive to these
facts. and consequently they are build
ing good houses and identifying their
grounds. When we have q permanent
supply of water from the mountains.

Or MAELErTE LAKE and the feeding of
Carson River from the waters of Tahoe
Basin, the Enterprise of Yesterday saws:

4 BASIN, the Enterprise OF yesterday says:
But for the water now flowing int
Carson River from the basin or water
shed of Lake Tai,oc, few Of the watel
| mills would be able to turn a wheel
The water thus fed into the river consti
| tutes nearly the whole volume of thai
now used by the mills. This water il
taken from streams which naturally low
from the east down into Lake Tahoe,
which streams are situated beyond the
ridge lying between rs and Tahoe. In
order TO obtain the water of these streams
large dam was built and an artificial
lake formed, called Marle.te Lake, and
from this lake the water is brought
through the dividing ridge by means of a
tunnel, 2, 100 feet in length, and SO comes
out on our side of the mountains, in
stead of flowing into Lake Tahoe, as it
formerly did. The ridge thus tunneled
through is known as the Spooner Divide.
After flowing through the tunnel in this
dividing ridge the water is carried away
in the direction of Carson, where it is
used in two large fumes (the Summit
Flume and the Elliott Flume) for float
ing wood and timbers down from the
mountains to the valley, and after having
performed this service it flows on down
into Carson River and helps to run the
mills. When We say that timbers six
teen inches square may be floated down
the fumes mentioned, it will readily be
seen that the quantity of water flowing
in each IS my no means small. In order
to bring this water from Marlette Lake
to the end of the large pipe which has
Just been laid across Washoe Valley, and
through which it is to come to supply
this city. it will be necessary to build
about nineteen miles of fiume. The
whole length of pipe and hume. when
the new water works shall have been
from this city to Marlette
Lake, will be between fifty-two and
.ifty-four miles. To build the nineteen
miles of new fu;ne required will cost
about $4,000. The tunnel alone
the Spooner Divide cost about
$50. 600. Pending the thorough COM
pietion of the great work to Marlette
Lake there can be drawn from creeks
this side of the dividing ridge (where it
is now being ob:ained) plentiful supply
for all uses. From what we have said
in regard to the water supply, it will be
seen that we are far ahead of California,
for we have already tunneled through
into the BASIN of Lake Tahoe, while she
Through Won Schmidt) has only been
talking about performing such feat.

The Supreme Court of Illinois has of
late delivered several important opinions
on the law affecting railroads and tele-
graphs. 1t has just decided the often
debated question of "lay-over checks. "
The decision of Chief Justice Walker is
to the effect that that the check must be
used within the period of time prescribed
by the company, or it is not available,
thus differing from the ordinary ticket,
which is good until ridden out, ordinary
specifications to the contrary notwith-

TIE LATEST MEMS.

A special from Washington says III
hes. information obtainable shows th'
number of lives lost by the burning O
the steamer Wawassett is probably NO
over tventy-three. There is 10 wharf
nj Chatterton Point, where the steamer
was burned, and the landing is made by
the use OF small boats. One OF these
was urshipped for this purpose when
the cry of FIRE was heard, and the flames
came with such force that panic en-
sued at one. The passengers made a
rush for the boat that Was being lowered,
crowdins it fall. when the tacklins
broke or became unhitched, aid ell were
precipitated into the river. The terror
stricken passengers were forced by the
flames to jump overheard, to whom
Capt. Wood and crew threw life pre-
servers. The people on shore did all
they could to assist in saving life, but
their means of rescue were very unequal
to the terrible extremity.
Hardy Jones was hanged at Newbern,
N. c., on Friday, for the murder of
Robert Miller, a constable, February 1,
1872, while Miller, with two Others, was
conveying Jones to the prison on a
charge of larceny. Jones was over
eighty years of age.
In view of the present disorsanized
condition of affairs in Spain, the vessels
composing the European squadron I'M
der command of Rear Admiral Case
have been ordered to Spanish ports.
The Wabash. the flagship of the squad
ron, is on the way to Car:asena, and
the Congress and Wachuse;ts viii fol-
low The Shenandoah is at Cadiz- The
Alaska, now in commission at Brooklyn,
will sail in about ten days to join the
European squadron.
Another effort is to be made to recover
the wreck OF survivors of the steamer
George S. Wright, lost some. months ago
on the Northwestern coast. The rev.
enue cutter Lincoln will make a thor
ough examination of the islands and
shores above Vancouver's Island.

A lady correspondent of the Grass
Valley Union, writing from Virginia City
SAYS:
This county is said to have much min
eral wealth concealed beneath its rough
and uninviting surface. and some of the
more industrious natives are constantly

difficult to tell how they dispose of their
wealth, as little of it is used for solid
attainments orpermanent improvements;
without doubt much of it is exchanged
for vulgar fineries, injurious stimulants
and hurtful drugs. 1 do not think the
native Virginian God-fearing man, and
often wonder Why the people who dis
covered this city do not send mission
aries here as tneS do to the various
islands of the sea.

The Piutes have been to Mono Lake
having pow-wow and one of their ma
tive dances. The water of the lake is
very peculiar BARRIERS have brought it
here for shampoeing, sayingit was much
better than anything they could prepare.
Ii persons going to the lake for q bath
stay in the water a few minutes, they
have such pricking and itching sensa-
ton of the skin that they have to go to
a spring of fresh water and wash their
bodies for relief. At this season of the
year the water is thick with a small worm
about half an inch long that changes to
a species of fly, and a light breeze of
wind will drive win1rowes of them on
the shore. The Indians rub off the outer
shell or skin, winnow them, and gather
bushels of the bodies for Winter food.
Another of their customs is scraping the
ground clean under pine tree and mali
in. fire under the tree, the smoke
causing worms about the size and as
long as finger to fall from the tree,
which they gather for Winter food. They
have 10 idea of cultivation, and only
depend upon what nature has provided,
except what they get from the whites for
work done. When they have money,
they will buy refuse beef, but no pork.
When the butcher kills they help him,
and take the head. legs and entrails to
their camps.-Aurora cor. Sacramento
