THE TRUCKER MURDER.

Even after so full an explanation as
the report Of all the evidence given be
fore the Corouer's jury, the Truckee
Republican fails to clear up the mystery
Of Mr.. Frink's death. Il would seem
that he and several other men, masked
and armed, visited a saloon kept by one
George Hayward, for the purpose Of
seeking out and arrestirG certain suspi-
cious characters, and that while there
Frink was shot-but whether on pur
pose or by accident or out Of Inisanpre-
hension Of his character, motives and
intentions, can only be surmlSed from
the testimony OF said Hayward. which is
as follows Last night. between II

rnc PanIc cause and cure.

Particular attention may be fairly directed to
the expressions OF Senator Thurman. during the
financial debate on Tuesday, as to what caused
the Hard Times and what will cure them.
Whatever he might have said before the election
he does not now charge the pauc to political caus-
es, at all 1t is not any fault of the Republicans
1t did not come on in consequence of any short
coming of President Grant or of Congress.
Senator Thurman said;
"The panic upon the country now WAS the re-
suit Of over-trading and extravaganza, until
at last the bubble bursted, and then came q
season for retrenchment and economy. In the
history OF this country, ii WAS shown
that the business of the country neve
revived in less period than four years after
panic Nothing but time, honesty, economy ant
retrenchment would set business in motion AM
make the country prosperous. 1t could not b
done by tinkering, or by bills which omitte'
everything and contained nothing"

THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS.

The current OF life does not dow evenly to- |
day. 1t ia sluggish, unsteady and freighted with |
the remembrance, in many cases too regreuui-
ly, Of the day of dissipation through which we
have lust passed. For Notwithstanding the So
cred event which the day commemorates, and
the earnestnees with which our spiritual advisers
seek to impress it upon our minds. We are prone
to forget the dawn Of the era of Peace on
Earth good will to men, We rather turn away
from the contemplation of the day as marking
the birth of the Christ. and accept it as holiday
for the purpose of family reunion, the bestowal
and acceptance Of presents, the mutual ex-
change of the compliments Of the season, and
the indulgence of an appetite which by system
of cultivation has been sharpened to remarka-
bly, keen degree.
We're it possible to shake of the day and its
effects with retire nent for the night we might
all look back upon it with pleasant recollections
But, alas such cannot be. There is no more
well-founded truth in nature than that he who
violates natures laws recklessly must pay
the penalty. Hence it is that to-day we lind all
about in the community the unsteady nerve, the
aching head, the dropping eye, the anxious face
with restloss night and weight of woe writ
ten therein, the lack Oh energy anu sho o5Pooa
ton 10 seclusion Haunted during the nigh
with the dreamy spectres which over-indalgenc'
conjured up. and passed in review before rest
less mind, theresre many Of us who feel little quail
fled for the performance of to-day's duties an
will gladly welcome the hour when they may
laid aside. The Christmas turkey and its jellies
the mince pies, the egg nogg and the many httl
delicacies which always accompany the festiy'
are too taxing to the American dyspept
stomach for after pleasure, and II
aches and throes of undigested food are provo
alive of many innocent smiles. Constituted
we are, it is scarcely human to bestow mut
sympathy to such wretched sufferers, and hene
they sit philosophically nursing their own pail
and asking only to be let alone.
We suppose that the usual VOWS of self-s
negation will now be made and many new Al
good resolves be written. With past experienc
such will not be surprising but will they be
hered to scrupulously and in good faith2 W
they be remembered when the next anniverss
rolls around? Or will the demands OF natu
be cruciied to appetite, and the cravings oil
stomach oyer-rule the promptings of the ju'
rnent? Christmas brings with it experience
and accordingly as these are preserved and
come the basis Of future living and subsequ
action is the annual return of the "queen fe

The Cost of Living Now and Before
the War.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.l
comparison Of the prices of the staples of
the country in wholesale markets in November,
1859, 1864, and 1874, shows that prices are near
" as low, and in some cases lower, now
than before the war; il they are re-
duced to the gold standard. Wheat is
selling at about the prices in currency as it
sold for in gold in 1859. Corn il selling for half
what it did in 1864 (the year when gold touched
2s5 and about the same price, gold values, az it
did in 1859. Cotton is worth little more
than in 1859, but is about one-ninth
the price reached in 1874. Provisions
sugar, and coffee show heavy decline, but the
present currency quotations are above the gold
prices in 1853. Dry goods show great decline
since 1856, prints being below the prices of 1859.
Beef was rather higher in tn local mar
ket before the war than to-day. Sales were re-
ported in the Ledger in November, 1858, for 7 to
cents per pound. The corresponding cattle re-
port published this year quotes sales at from to
~ cents. But before these articles reach the
consumers items Of cost are added to them,
which have not been reduced in proportion to
the reduction in prime cost. The tax rate Of
1858 on real estate was ats on very low valu-
