4 Man of Fire.

His name is Henri Rochefort. For twenty
years he kept Louis Napoleon dancing with
rage. He is no philosopher. He does not
care whit for political economy. He has
no respect for the solemn pageants enacted
in the name of religion, nor for the shams
and funkeys and hypocrites who rob the
people in the name of law. lie is born
disorganizer, a trained agitator, an incar-
nate revolution. He is pot always boiling,
and sometimes boiling over. He has a
faculty ofsaying those sharp, bitter, singing
things, which fly like poisoned arrows direct
to the mark and rankle worse than death
where they do kill, and which give mex
plessible delight to the Frenchmen who
look on, aud who are hundred times more
eager for an epigram than for an argument.
He is the prince of paragraphists, and no
writer ever lived who could write q sharper
line than he. His words pierce like needles.
His sentences are lancets, S,ll edge and no
back. They glitter like polished steel, but
they ignite wherever they fall, and in the
inflammable tinder of French society they
make a blaze they do not create a con-
fagration. Afraid of nobody, shrinking
from nothing, defying enemies and epithets,
at home, anywhere, half inspired and half
insane, but altogether alive with an over
mastering passion for liberty, he has been
the terror of every tyrant and the fear of
every regime France has had for a quarter
of a century.
Rochefort is the man of the hour. lie
carries revolution III his brain. No
wonder the Royalists, the Imperialists, the
timid and time-serving Conservatives of
France want to crush him. He is their
doom. In his advent they see nothing but
the Judgment Day. They forget their own
follies and blindness and crimes have made
him possible and given him his power to
harm. France wants order. But it cannot
be the order of the graveyard. She must
have liberty. But it cannot be the liberty
of universal license. Rochefort may be the
fire and lead the whirlwind needed to clear
the ground and purify the air. But states
men of another order must follow to create
the new nation and marry liberty and order
in everlasting wedlock.-GoldenA Age.

The Mullins & Ryan Gravel Claim a
Lucky Purchase.

This claim, situated on Central Hill, has
been worked for over seven years. during
which time tunnel has been run 200 feet
in search of the lead, but until lately with
out success. After spending all their means
in what seemed to be wild goose chase, the
proprietors-Messrs. Mullins, Ryan and the
Harkins Bros.-stopped work. One of the
partners went to Oregon, one to San Fran
cisco; and, although the other two stayed
here, they were unable to make any headway
in opening the mine. This was the condi-
tion of affairs when Messrs. Dyas and
Montgomery bought into the claim, some
ten months ago. Already had $50, 900 been
expended in searching for the lead, and the
prospect was indeed gloomy. Notwith-
standing this, after the new proprietors had
made careful survey of the ground, they
came to the conclusion that the lead was
there, and that they could do what others
had failed to do-find it. With an expecta-
ton that. it would be a work of time and
necessitate the investment of much filthy
lucre they made the venture. And now
comes the strange part Of the story, Under
been driven over four feet, wneII Uiic 1tzfd
was found and gold was visible in the gravel
on all sides. They had struck the famous
Blue Lead, one of the 'dead rivers" Of
California, and in which has been found
some Of the best paying claims in the State.
There has been no claim struck in Calaveras
for years which will compare in richness
with this. The claim is 800 feet i'll length,
and the pay-streak is ITO feet from rim to
rim, with a thickness of seven feet, indie
pendent of the crevices, which are abundant.
After the lead was struck there was consid
cradle work required to put the claim in
working order, but that is now all finished.
The first washing from the lead was cleaned
up last week and we are informed amounted
to twenty-six hundred dollars. The claim
is now paying about twenty dollars day
to the hand 1t will undoubtedly last for
years, adding much to the prosperity of our
county, and encouraging others to venture
their capital CaEageras Citizen.

4 MISERABLE sfs.-Massachusetts
papers say that there is a strange old man
named Sims +. Twombly living at Maiden,
that State, i'll miserable hut, ten by six
teen feet with his horses and dogs. He is
the man, who, two or three years ago, i'll
contestipg all application of his wife for a
divorce, pleaded his own case before the
court, and just prior TO the opening Of the
proceedings at every session knelt i'll the
court room aud engagedin prayer for several
minutes He lives in lonely spot, and his
habitation IS just what might he expected
from its being occupied by two horses !;
indeed, it is so filthy aud so much exposed
to the weather that the old man was recently
brought to trial by the Society for the
Pre*eNtion, etc. What supports him nobody
knows, for lie seldom earias any money, aud
about all he gets goes for iun. 4 few weeks
ago he killed a dog and ate him, and once
he shot a horse and sliced him up, but
whether he devoured him or not could not
be learned. A board of physicians have
pronounced him. sane, and though the people
in his vicinity are afraid of him, they ion't
know how to get rid Of him.

FIGHT WITH TIE TIGER.
A Fifty-hour Buck at Faro with a Loss
of $1,000.
From the Chicago Times, June 2.

From the Chicago Times, June2.
One day last week a professional gambler
went into a faro-room on Clark street to
have an engagement with the "tiger."
He commenced playing, lost, won, lost
again and continued losing; and finally at
the end of fifty hours he quit the engage
ment out of pocket to the amount of Sill
900. During this season of fifty hours the
game was unbroken. The gambler never
slept for a moment, never stopped to eat a
meal, but carried the whole tremendous en-
terprise through without rest, cessation or
refreshment.
The wonderful thing of this is not the
amount lost by the player-although it was
a sufficiently bad thing for him-or the
amount won by the bauk- which was no.
tably good thing for the bank-but the
enormous endurance shown by the loser.
The case is one nearly or quite without a
parallel. Men have ridden, spoken, and
done many other things for twenty-four or
thirty hours at stretch; but case other
than the present one is unknown in which
a labor was carried through so long a period
"a labor which involved so tremendous a
mental wear and tear, and was, therefore,
trebly arduous in its effects upon the sys-
tenn of the chief participant The event is
also noticeable as showing the absorbing
power of gaming. One cannot fancy any
task which would induce or force man to
deprive himself during the same period of
sleep Or refreshment. One watching by the
bedside of a dying child would succumb
within less than this period. A man who
had the certainty of living but fifty hours
would probably spend one-fourth Of it in
sleep, and would give due attention to his
food. One escaping from deadly foe, and
knowing that every instant delay might
prove fatal, would not fly for so long
time without snatching momenta1y rest.
In short, one can conceive of no other cir
cumstance in which man would give fifty
unbroken hours to q single task-circum-
stances more especially which would tear
the chief actor with hope and fear, and
harass him necessarily with the operation
of the most destructive of the emotions
Could some one perform similar feat in
interests of charity. or country, or friend
ship, he would secure for himself very
fair grade of immortality.

The Emma Mine.

From The San F1ancIsco AiaiEg Press, June 3D.
The meeting of the Emma Mining Com
many was held IN London, on the 18th ,ilt..
A very extended account appears in sever
al of the English papers, from which We
should Judge Was rather a stormy one.
The report of the directors and managers,
OF which we gave an abstract last week,
was read and adopted, and the meeting adj
journed until June 18th.
The, report. as we stated before was q
very tiiscoslragiilg one. stating that they
must depend entirely on new discoveries for
future ore supplies from the mine cry
NATURALLY the character of the report dissat-
istied many of the shareholders, who would
mucl. rather have had favorable report
% tlas they could sell theirs stock at as lit
nc lass rs possible. This Il one reason,
probably why tile meeting was such q
stormy one

am longing, SO sadly, I'm longing
For the flowers that have blossomed and fled;
For the hopes that about were thronging
That alas! are all withercd and dead
Beauties thought ne'cr would perish,
One by one vanished away
There is nothing on earth that we cherish.
That is lovely and true that will stay.
Fitting, fitting away,
All that we cherish most dear;
There is nothing on earth that will stay,
Roses must die with the year
There are eyes that with brightness were trimming
There are lips that our own often met,
That the mould Of the grave is now dmmns
That in silence unbroken are set.
Sadly we long for their greetings,
Tender and true they had proved
Oh. the hearts soonest hushed in their beatings
Are the ones the most earnestly loved
'Tis the joys the most priced that are heetest,
And that quickest creep out from the heart
AS perfumes that are richest and sweetest
Arc the earliest ones TO depart.
Tints that of all are the rarest,
Fade as upon them we gaze;
And the hours tina. are brightest and fairest,
Soon are hid with the lost yesterdays.
Far away where The Summers are sleeping,
Are the beautiful dreams of the past
And our eyes are grown weary with weeping,
For the pleasures we fancied might last.
Lovingly, lonsingly signing,
Over their ashes we sit;
While the roses around us are dying,
And the moments so speedily fit.
Fitting, fitting away,
All that we cherish most dear;
There is nothing on earth that will stay

RIFLE BALLS.
From the courier-Journal, June 10.


The Pawnee Indians are men-when they
happen not to be women and ch1ldren-of
much pride and great decision of character.
They demand of the Government red-topped
boets Or blood.
They had what they call "a temperance
entertainment at Vicksburg the other day.
Wish we could have been there. Than a
temperance entertainment, with plenty of
champagne and the like, We know ofnothing
more pleasant.
The Hon. A. II. Stephens is now able to
sit up and write hardly more than one hour
week. At least we infer as much from
the fact that his paragraph No. 4, in reply
half columns long.
Elijah Bugg, of Vermont, concluded
about nine years ago that lying down was
mels. pleasant than sitting up and stirring
around, and accordingly went to bed, in a
perfect state of health, and has been in bed
ever since. How his wife can tolerate such
a bcd-Bugg about the house is difficult to
see.
A Tennessee country paper says: Some
of our readers complain that we donot give
enough town and county news. To such
we would say that we often find after q
HCSh uUG ii udp"
penened." Then why don't you hire a man
to go out with double -barreled shotgun
and make something happen?
"What's in name ?' exclaimed the fond
and fair Juliet. But if Juliet had become
Mrs. Montague, and she and Romeo had
settled at Enterprise, Mississippi, they
might have thought there was something in
name after all. At least the Enterprise
Courier is suggestive of such a significance
in making the statement that in one week
in that enterprising town seven enterprising
mothers recently gave birth to twelve enter
prising babies. Two of the enterprising
fathers were beyond the age of sixty-fve.
What makes the parental enterprise the
more remarkable is the fact that it is ac-
companied, according to the Enterprise
Courier, by the physiological phenomenon
that " the sex of the babies is about equal"

ALPINE MININe.-European travellers
are fond of narrating the perils of the ascent
Of the Alps amid eternal snow and ice, yet
in the American territory Of Colorado, min
ing is carried on all winter ON Mount Lin
coin, at over Il, 600 feet above the sea level,
the height of the Jungfrau Alp in Switzer-
land. In the latter country the forests of
pine timber disappear at an altitude of
6,000 above the sea level, but in Colorado
they only give out at an altitude of Ii, 500.
Much of this difference arises from the
fact that Colorado is in latitude much south
of Switzerland, but the country is also re-
mote from ocean vapors, and the ascent to
the foot of the moutains is very gradual.
Certain it is that in all parts of the vast in
terror mountain regions settlements are
fourishing and mining and agricultural
operations are carried on at attitudes
that would be uninhabitable IN Europa.
There are settlements in Wyoming that are
5000 feet above the sea level. The eli
mate in all that vast region bears no analo-
gy to that of the Atlantic States, being
mostly dry and healthy, and not liable to
the torrid heats of midsummer. Erchange.

a New idea in Iron-clads.

From the Boston 8uPeftisef.
The Infexible, the latest pattern of war;
ship, now building for the English navy, is
an extraordinary vessel. What may be
called her distinguishing characteristic is
that she will have, in the sense of vulnera-
bility, no "wind and water line" at ALL
Every one must know that the vitals of a
man-o' war lie along the beltof her fotation
"a breach of her sides in that region lets in
the sea and swamps her. The Infexible
carries all her side armor upon q central
space 10 feet in length. It is twenty-four
inches thick, and protects with that mon
strous wall of solid iron her engines, her
crew, and her battery of four eighty-ton
guns. Along the rest of her-fore and aft
there is no vertical armor, but thick inside
cushion of cork of enormous buoyancy,
more than sixty feet square in section, sur
rounding bunlers full oil coal for the supply
of the ship. A horizontal deck Of thick
metal extending fore and aft from the cita-
del at a depth of six or seven feet from the
water line, will cut off all this unarrnored
upper portion from the real hold of the YES
sell Thus if the enemy should send shot or
shell through every coal bunker and corner
Of the Infiexible, forward and aft, letting in
the water everywhere, he could only-if the
design answers expectatiOI--lower her a
single foot in the sea. Her citadel, it may
be confidently expected, he could not pierce:
at any late with the guns at present in use
In word the constructors of the Infexible
give an enemy the upper slices Of the ship,
except her citadel, to do as he likes with;
and it is bymaking the ends foatable under
any circumstances that the iron work of the
ponderous citadel, with it's turrets and
| freeboard, can be carried. The ram and
the torpedo are therefore the only perils
which threaten this forthcoming fighting
ship; but perhaps these also might be pro-
vided against if her bottom under the water
deck were constructed in many compart-
ments

PRoF HAYDEN's EXPLORING ExPEDI-
TIoN.-The Committee ON Public Lands
have agreed to report to the House in favor
of continuing Prof. Hayden's civilian corps
in the surveys of our Western Territories.
There has been IuiIe a contest between the
War and Interior Departments as to whose
control the surveys should be under. The
War Department wanted to give Wheeler's
party exclusive charge of this work, and
desperate effort has been made to ignore
Hayden altogether. This has proven un-
successful, and in addition to the report
from the Committee ON Public Lands, the
Committee on Appropriations has agreed to
appropriate Sl00,0o0 toenable the Secretary
Of the Interior to continue Hayden's sur
veys, and $el, 900 for Major Powell explo-

Monroe and Tyler arc buried in Holly

former, and rust is eating off the dismal
celofed paint that ouee protected the iron.
Tyler's grave is entirely unmarked, and
rank weeds and tall grass lnxuriate around
it, and obscure it from sight.

From the Rochester Democrat. June G.

From the Rochester Democrat. June G.
Yesterday the California aquarium car
passed through this city en- route to the Pa
citic coast, and stopped here long enough to
renew its supply of ice and procure some oth-
er needful articles. 1t was in the charge
Of Livingston Stone, engaged by Commits
sioner Baird for this trip. Seth Green and
other interested parties made an examina-
tion the car, it's apparatus and contents. It
is large passenger baggage car, forty feet
long by nine feet wide, with twelve wheels,
an air brake, and Miller platform. At one
end of the car is a stationary fresh-water
tank holding five tons of water, and, at the
other end, two saltwater tanks, hol ling in
the aggregate the same amount of salt-wa-
ter. The ice boxes are over the tanks, and
there are upwards of twenty portable tanks
between these two. In the top of the car
is an erating machine for forcing air into
the water in the. tanks and ga 1his .js
supplying the fish with all the air they
need. 1t was stated that not fish had
died since the car started ON it's long jour
ney. The following are the varieties of fish
from the various receptacles: Lobsters
and oysters from Massachusetts, bay; tau
togs' and weak fish from Martha's Vine
yard; striped bass, king fish, and blue fish
from New York harbor; black bass and
wall eyed pike from Lake Champlain, Mich
igan and Nebraska; horn pouts from the
Hudson river; cat fish from the Raritan
river, N. J. alewives from Mystic river,
Mass. The fish are to be placed in the wa
ters Of California.
Queen Victoria Indorses Mr.. sartoris
Washington Correspondence II Y. Journal of Com
lnerce
Mr.. Sartoris is descendant of the Hugue-
not refugees. His father, a conservative
and one Of the best known members of the
Carlton club, is a prominent merchant, and
does large East India trade. His uncle,
Mr.. Samuda, NJ. p, also of the Huguenot ref
ugees, is known as the largest ship builder
on the Thames, and an authority in the
navy debates in Parliament. It is not gen.
orally known that Queen Victoria, as soon
as she beard Of the proposed marriage,
made inquiries regarding Mr.. Sartoris, and
wrote letter to the President in which she
confidently indorsed him. This letter prob
ably arose from the sincere personal attach
ment which the Queen felt toward Miss
Grant, and the esteem she felt for the Pres
ident OF this republic in his official capacity.
1t is limited by those cognizant of the stu
alton that the royal heart will be moved to
some especial mark of appreciation in con-
nection with this marriage. It is believed
! among Englishmen who know, or affect to
know, n little about the court, that the
Queen will invite the couple to visit Windsor
Castle and confer some title of nobility upon
the bridegroom. There is confident belief
that President Grant will visit Europe after
his Presidential term: and the idea. of
rendering him the freedom of the city in
such event is already favorably talked of i'll
the London clubs.
