PANAMINT.-The most incredulous
letters are being received from par
ties at Panamint in relation to the
richness of that camp. The Carson
Tribune publishes letter from II.
C. Wright, written from Taboose
Station, Inyo County, Cal. one hun
bred miles from the mines. Speak
of Panamint he says: This camp
bids fair to surpass anything that
has ever been struck on the Pacific
Coast. People are tiocking there
from all quarters; in fact, the roads
are lined, and reminds me of the
days of White Pine. Panamint is
situated in the Corse range of noun
taits. The town is built in canon
from 100 to 800 feet in width. Lots
are worth from 500 to 81, 800 each.
The same could have been bought
three months ago for almost any
price. j. p. Jones, Bill Stewart and
Rains are interested largely. Jones
has alone expended million dol
lars, purchasing mines lately. There
is five-stamp mill erected, the ma
chinery for twentystamp mill on
the ground, and others on the road
from San Bernardino. The most d.
rect route to Panamint from Carson
and Virginia is via Aurora, through
this valley, by Owens Lake. There
is also stage line from Lone Pine
to Panamint, connecting with Clug-
CAGES line from Carson.

The law which goes into effect on
the lst of January next, requiring
the prepayment of postage on news
papers, will, it is thought, largely
increase the revenue from that
source. At present the postage is
collected in amounts of but a few
cents, and frequently is not collected
at all. The new regulation will in
sure the collection of all postage IN
bulk, thus saving expense and
trouble. The subscribers to news
papers, not the publishers, will be
the gamers by the new system, as
publishers cannot afford to increase
their subscription rates on account
of 1t.

POSTMASTER GENERAL JEWELL
has completed his estimates for the
expenses of the department during
the next fiscal year. They are near
ly three million dollars in excess of
the appropriations for last year. To
this must be added the deficiency of
about seven million dollars which is
likely to arise, making the appropri-
alton asked for in the neighborhood
of torty-three millions of dollars.
This is large amount to pay for the
mail service, but unless greater
economy is exercised it is likely to
increase from year to year instead OF
diminishing,

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

Carson, November 23d.-1n the
District Court, to-day, John Muir
phy was sentenced to be hanged on
the 18th day of December, for the
murder of John r. McCallum, IN
this city last summer. During the
passing of the sentence the criminal
acted more like a brute than a
human being throughout. But
very little sympathy exhibited;
He asked for an hour at the time OF
execution to address those present:
Weather very stormy; raining all
day.

Hippophagy in Paris.

A FRENCH savant furnishes, in recent
| number of the Econo,nsyte F,uncuis. much
curious information respecting the use
Of horse:fesh in Paris In France this
edible is used to a much greater extent
than in Germany, though in that country
its use is steadily Increasing. It is
dressed in as many different WAYS as
beef-roast, baked, hashcd, stewed and
fried as steak. But it is in the form of
sausage that it is most largely consumed,
and in this shape it's use is by no means
confined to Paris. Indeed one of the larg-
est factories for the making ofsausages
from horsehesh is situated at Beau
caire, in the Gard. During the wear no
fewer than 500 horses were manufactured
into sausages at that establishment. Be-
sides the flesh, the tongue, brain and
liver of horses are sold as delicacies. and
even the fat, we are told, is converted
into kind of butter. In consequence of
the growth of the taste for horse flesh,
the price of worn-out horses has risen
enormously of late, miserable animals
which few years ago the knackers were
able to buy for 81 now costing g.
Animals fit for food fetch from
e5 to &C. Of course it must not
be said that it is only horses which
are past work that are slaughtered
tor the butchers shop. At the same
time, however, every precaution is taken
to prevent unsound beasts from being
used as food. In Paris the horses must
be slaughtered either at the municipal
ahattoir in the Boulevard de l'Hopital or
st private abattoir at Pantin, and each
OF them is inspected by veterinary sur
gcon before being slaughtered, and again
before the flesh is allowed to be offered
for sale. Mules and asses arc also eaten.
and their flesh, though firmcr than that
OF the horse, is said to be more delicate.
On the first day of the present year there
were in Paris forty-eight shops open for
the sale of the flesh of horses, mules and
asses. Most of the butchers slaughtered
the animals they sold, but some few buy
the meat by the piece, like the smaller
dealers in other kinds of meat. The GUS
toners of these shops belong neither to
the wcll-to-do nor to the INDECENT classes.
Generally speaking they are either clerks
with small salaries or work-people with
families. AS a rule, the price of the
meat is about half the price of beef. The
inferior parts fetch from twenty to thirty
centimcs to the half-kilogramme, which
but very slightly exceeds the pound avoir-
dupois, and the best parts range from a
franc to a franc and a quarter. Even
these prices, high rs they seem, have
lately been passed; and yet SO dear are
beef and mutton that the demand for
horsc-tlesh continues to increase.

How to Take q Picture.

Tie artist, having secured a customer,
is supposed to seat the happy individual
in the skylight room in the proper posi-
tion. He then gets out his portrait lens
and after carefully wiping the surfaces
OF the glasses with a clean silk handker-
chief or chamois leather screws it on to
the portrait camera and places them
both on the heavy camera stand OppO-
site to the subject to be taken. lie then
lays the focusing-cloth on the camera
and puts his head under the cloth in Or
der to see more clearly the image on the
ground glass; He slides in or out the
inner body of the camera until the image
is seen quite distinctly and then fixes
the camera with the screw provided.
The ground-glass frame is then removed
from the camera and the dark side in
serted in its place. The lens is then
covered, the shutter of the dark slide is
raised and the lens cap gently removed so
as not to shake the camera; thus the
light will he admitted to the sensitive
plate. The time of exposure varies, but
an average Of ten seconds may be
allowed. At the end of that time
the cap is replaced on it's lever,
the shutter of the slide is shut down and
taken into the dark room. The door be-
ing closed so as to exclude all white
light, the plate is carefully removed from
the dark slide The nitrate solution
which has accumulated at the bottom is
drained off. An ounce of developing So
luton is put into measuring glass, and
while holding the plate horizontally by
the bare corner, collodion side upward,
enough of the solution is poured along
the bottom edge of the plate to easily
cover it. The plate is gently inclined to
allow the solution to flow uniformly
backward and forward. The image
quickly appears When its shaded por-
tions are fully out, the solution is turned
off and the plate washed by allowing
water to flow over it for not less than
one minute. The plate is then laid in a
shallow dish kept for the purpose, and
there is quickly poured over it enough
of the fixing solution to cover it, As
soon as the yellow film of iodide of silver
is dissolved, the plate is lifted out and
washed. The plate is then dried and the
collodion surface vanished, after which
the picture is complete. This is the proc
ess for taking simply glass positives.
There is some variation, but not of mate
rial interest to the reader, in taken mega
tives.-Chsc41g0 Times.

BUSYBODIES,

IT IL fact, az I've been told,
That people, in the days of old,
Got rich in silver and in gold,s
NO matter what they bought or sold,
by mlndihg their own business.
They did not try to wound ones fame,
Or sandcr anybody's name;
,,iy ,mh'y cared not when you went or came;
Ihcy pleased thcmsclvcs-you did the same
II it was your own business.
And if man did what wns right
In his own mind, and in the sight
~ God and Law, by day and night,
lie went ahead and fought the fight,
Determined OH his business.
B!'t in dcgcn rate modern days
Iherc,s quite change in peoples ways,
And what person does or says
Must be held up unto the guzc
Ofcvcry busybOdy.
And If you do not tell them, too,
. Where you are going. and what to do,
They get in such an awful stew,
They I'll even watch and follow yOu-
These very bt0ybodics.
And then they surely think they know
Just when YOU come and when YOU 70,
:, And they will whisper, SO and 80,
10 every friend and every foe
These very bllsybodics.
But if we take the pains to see
VIII" these same busybodics he,
We find there's not he or she
Who has decent history.
Among these busybodics.
But let us no more notice take
Or evil tongues; but. for their sake
We'll hope and pray they soon may wake
FROM wlckctiness. and money make
by mlndins their own burinces.

Bradbury's Mistake.

In Philadelphia there are whole blocks
of houses exactly alike, and sometimes
there is such a quantity of them in a
square that man who lives near the
middle has to begin counting at the cor
ner in order to ascertain which is his
house. Mr.. Bradbury IL few nights ago
came home late, and as he was thinking
of something else he forgot to count.
When about two doors from home he
ran up the front steps of Mr. Pctty's res.
idencc with conviction that it was his
own. His dead-latch key opened the
door readily, and Bradbury, after crop
ing around in the dark for the hat-rack,
knocked against it and upset it. Mr.
Petty was upstairs just about to go to
bed. When he heard the noise he went
to the head of the staircase and listened.
lie discovered that there was man in
the hall below and he knew at once it
was burglar. So he went back to his
room and got his revolver. Then he shut
his eyes and fired at random. The noise
walked Mrs. Petty and she began to
scream violently. Then Bradbury felt
certain that there was band of robbers
upstairs engaged in butchcring Mrs
Bradbury and the children. As he
started to creep softly up the staircase to
rcconnoitrc Petty began to steal quietly
down the staircase to look after the burg
lar he had killed. They met on the first
landing, and although both were terribly
frightened they grapplcd, for both knew
it would be struggle to the death After
fighting desperately the combatants
rolled down the stairs to the floor be-
meath, while Mrs. Petty sprang the rattle
for a policeman. Just as Petty got the
upper hand of Bradbury and was mutilat-
ing his nose with his fist, the police burst
the front door open and struck light.
Then an explanation cnsued and Brad
bury went home. You have perhaps seen
a prize egg plant at an agricultural fair?
Well, Bradbury's nose resembled that in
size and color and shape, and now he not
only counts from the corner when he
comes home, but he has the front of his
house painted white, with a locomotive
headlight over the front door.-Mac
Adeler

WASHINGTON, d. c., May q, 1874.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: For several weeks o number OF highly ed
u:sted colored ladies and gentlemen Of artistic
cratic tendencies have been meeting at my house
for tho purpose of improving their mlnds-nomi-
mating, electing, and black ballng other unoend-
ing, quiet citizens equal in character but Of less
pretensIons, without their application, knowledge
or consent, then making their actions subject of
general gossip, congratulating the fortunate ones
and sympathlzing with the rejected parties
brought forward by the presumption Of this better
class of colored people organized under the lead
ership Of William E. Matthews, Of the Post Office
Department, and Prof. W. J. Wilson, Of the
Freedman's bank. This presLmptiye course has
aroused the Indignation of very many, even those
they deigned to ''honor" with an election without
their knowledge. These meetings being held at
my house, and Of unjust discrimination in origin
the part Of some of the members at least,
desire to inform my friends aud the colored COM
munity that did not know the character Of the
organization, am in no way responsible for its
course, and that will not allow such circles to be
held at my residence any more, because this
wealthy colored society is rejecting upon others
Of our race, creating considerable feeling in the
community, and would be very detrimental TO the
fair name Of my house and my private business.
