r.,,tornia Lion Carries on . Child

The Green Valley (Cal.) Union, tells
,his story: Some time since a resi-
1aut of Grass Valley, had occasion to
=, to Siskiyou county, and, while
:. ,velino over Mount Shasta, Ire saw
,our large California lions. Not know,
;n, mach of their savage characteris-
lies, he stopped his horse and gazed
=, them. They looked at him for
some time, and then tnrned and slowly
,r3tt.d away he had no weapons,
and had they been hungry he would
M, have returned to tell his expedi-
.ion. When he came to q stopping
olsee that night he told of his adven
.,re when one of the residents there
told him that one Of these lions had
short time before stolen a child
under the following circumstances:
The mother of the child had occasion
to do some washing, and for this
purpose she had to 60 into the en-
nl,snre that surrounded the back door.
She placed the child-a girl about
eighteen months oldAon the ground,
and gave it some playthings to amuse
itself With, wkile she busted herself
with her v otk. with her back to the
child. A few minutes after this she
heard a scream from the child, and
turned last in time to see full grown
California lion leaping over the fence
with the unfortunate child in its
mouth. The mother tainted and no
one being near, she lay in that condi-
don for some time. When she re.
covered, an alarm was raised, and
pursuit made, but no tIace could be
.1aad OF the lost child. Our friend
began to tremble in his boots at the
recital, and rather regretted his daring
"to beard the lion in his dem" The
ljous are particu lrly bold, and the
settlers are kept in constant fear all

TBe Old Homan,s Treasure.

An old woman died in lone house

one knew it until yesterday, when
everything looked so grim and silent

IN and they found the old woman dead
She had livel there for years and
years. People knew her, yet no one
knew her Some called her "Old
Nam" and some thought her WITCH.
She never left her yard, never spoke
70 any one except so snarl and growL,
and lone sailor drifting about on the
ocean could not have been more distant
from love and sympathy.

Knocked at her humble door, but as

hurried away, marking the house that
they might not call again. If you
had asked any Of the neghbors if the
I'D woman had a hea,t--could feel
love, pity or tenderness-if there was
anything which could get down
through the crust of disappointment,
ayar'ee, and despair, and touch the
nature which God gives every woman,
t1ey would have laughed in derision
And yet she had heart, and it was
touched Death touched it.
She did not die in her bed. She
might have been i'll for three or four
days, but she did not call out and ask
lot ASSISTANCE. Perhaps she felt that
Aer time had come, and that no human

SCORE ANOTHER FOR BERGH.

Henry Berg, the friend of dumb animals,
has achieved another triumph in New York.
Heretofore he has only been able to convict
the drivers of stages and cars " ho have over
worked horses, but he recently got the iron
claw Of the law on proprietor and brought
him up with round turn. This is as it should
be, for the proprietors compel the drivers to
overload the stages. Now let him get after
the street-car companies. 1t is nothing un-
common in the great city to see pair of
horses going up steep grade with heavy
car loaded with 80 or 80 passengers-thep poor
beasts straining every nerve and brutal
driver lashing them as though his heavy
whip could add to their muscular force.
Mr. Bergh has only commenced his work.
But it does do one good to SEQ 1.-THE, &C
tive man dart out of crowd and jerk a brutal
cartman, who is beating his horses, off his
cart and march him before magistrate. 1t
is a sight calculated to restore ones conf
dence in human nature. Bergh's police are
all dressed in plain citizens clothes, but when
one Lolds back the lapel of his coat and
displays his badge, the brute who is abusing
other brutes knows who he is and becomes as
meek as lamb.

RETURNING REASON.

The New Orleans Bulletin, in the light of
the failure of the White League to establish a
''Conselvative' government in Louisiana by
usurpation and violence, is now Of the opin-
ion that nothing is left but an appeal to the
country" Had the conservatives of that
State appealed to the country on the start, and
not 80 often to their revolvers, their grievan-
ces, whatever they were or are, would have
been redressed long ago. They have all the
while, however, tried to obtain the upper
hand in their own wretched way-by intimi-
dation Of Republican voters, by the ''kiling
off process" Of colored men, by armed at
tacks upon and violent overthrow of the law
fully constituted authorities. Government
has rightfully interfered to prevent the Louis
lana Democracy achieving power by resort
ing to terrorism and bloodshed. The Presi-
dent has tried to do right by the people of the
South, and he has not only faithfully served
them but the entire country in interposing to
prevent outrage and wrong, of which many
instances are furnished Of late by the White
Leaguers Of Louisiana and other of the South
ern States. We submit whether it was not an
act of mercy, if not one strictly of right, that
the military interfered to prevent the organi-
zation Of usurping Legislature at New Or
leans the other day. Enough lives, it would
seem. have been sacrificed in Louisiana to
satisfy the most bloodthirsty Of the turbulent
conspirators of that State It was with that
thought and in that spirit tha, the Louisiana
Assembly was deprived of its nsurpca ''Con-
sentative organization by United States
troops. That interference undoubtedly saved
additional bloodshed and the enactment of
some of the direful tragedies which have
transpired in Louisiana during the past twelve
months and more. We see no help for the
President but for him to pursue the policy he
has begun in carrying out the provisions of
the Enforcement Act, and sustaining the re-
cognized lawful authorities of the South by
every power at his command, until such time
as Congress marks out different course of
procedure, if in its wisdom it deems change
wise.

A BOURBON MEMBER.

Beck, of Kentucky, is no small potato in
the Democratic f-bushel-if you hear him
talk. He is roaring, rantankerous Bour-
bon. His chief pride is to be known of all
men IS such. He gushes with violent lnvec-
tive, and permits no chance to escape to blus-
ter about tyranny" and tongue-lash every
body and everything not in harmony with
Bourbonism. Intrepid Sheridan has knack
OF calling things by their right names, and
that faculty Of the gallant officer offends
Beck when it goes so far as to include plain
truthful statement Of the grievous condition
OF affairs at the South. Sheridan styles the
White Leaguers banditti, and their negro
killing bees butcheries, assassinations and
massacres. Beck is outraged, raves and rants
in furious way, and demands Sheridan's
decapitation at once. Then Cox and Randall,
and other Democrats ''chip in and advise
the President to heed Beck's demand A Re-
publican (Hoar Of Mass follows with calm
rebuke. He suggests that if a rule is adopt
ed OF removing every man giving bad advice
Congress would soon be cleared of Democrat
ic members. True enough. And the first of
these Bourbons to 60 would be Beck, who
by incendiary harrangues from his seat has
long been one of the chiefs in fomenting dis
cord, disturbance and bloodshed such as the
country has so often witnessed in the States
of the South.

Newspaper ENTERPRISE.

Probably the largest daily sheet ever issued
in the Rocky Mountains is that Of January
1st of the Salt Lake Tribune. 1t came to us
in double sneet, and is filled with carefully
compiled statistics of the mineral re-
sources of Utah, its cities, towns, reduction
works, railroads, churches, and, in fact, tells
all about Utah in brief. The Iri6une has
shown commendable energy, and been at
great extra expense in compiling the matter
for and publishing sheet of such magnitude.
During its eight years of existence it has
fought bravely the polygamous doctrines of
the church of Latter Day Saints of Jesus
Christ, with Brigham Young at its head, and
the war goes bravely on. AS q newspaper,
the Tribune stands at the head of the Utah
press and its local and foreign subscribers al
ways get the worth of their money.
The New Years number OF the California
Spirit Of the Times, weekly paper devoted
to the turf, insurance, literature, the drama,
army and navy and news, comes to us in
twenty-six page edition, and contains in
teresting matter for full weeks proper men,
tai digestion. 1t is profusely illustrated with
cuts of prominent men, buildings, tunnels,
bridges, etc., of its own and other States, and
even a casual glance at its contents tells that
men of brains and energy edit and publish it.

ALL IS SERENE!

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, the other day,
in his speech denouncing Government inter
ference in Louisiana affairs, expressed his
profound ignorance of any wrong-doing on
the part of the Conservatives Democrats) OF
the South. Since the close of the WARM
which he figured somewhat conspicuously as
a Confederate Major -General-,he knew of no
opposition in any of the Sothern States to the
General Government, or to lawful authority
exercised by honest men. The reports of in
timidation of colored voters, of murders
and massacres of black people, and Of all the
list of crimes charged upon the White League
banditti, were inventions, fabrications, with
out the scmblance of truth for their founda-
ton. This was, in substance, the General 3
testimony in behalf of his political brethren
at the South, as defined in his speech. Let
us be charitable, and say that the Senator's
fault is mainly in a defective memory-that
he is too noble a representative of the chival-
ric Democracy of the South to stoop to or
mediate falsehood. At the election last fall
III Tue Oenator own State, intimidation and
terrorism kept 10000 colored voters away
from the polls, and Democracy swept the
field by an unprecedented majority The
same intimidation and terrorism obtained in
bordering States and subserved similar pur
pose. ''Nigger killing bees" in Louisiana,
Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, t'put out
of the way hundreds Of colored voters, and
answered the further ends of the banlitti by
keeping thousands Of Republicans from ex-
ercising their electoral rights And yet, Sen
ator Gordon is quite positive that nothing of
guilty wrong or outrage attaches to the skirts
Of the "Conservative' White Leagues of the
South. All has been and is quiet and order
", and serene, and any one who says differ
entity tells a-story the opposite of that of
General Gordon!

In letter to the New York Tribune, treat
ing of the Katie King "materalized spirit y
deceptions, as practiced by the Holmes in
Philadelphia, Robert Dale Owen thus char
acterizes the imposters and their crime:
''1f, when the smoke clears away, they are
found guilty, there is no crime in the deca-
logue more heinous in the eye of justice or Of
religion than the offense against all that is
hottest and most sacred which they have per-
petrated. If there be apology for such an
offense, it must be that which Jesus found
for his murderers, asking that they be for
given because they knew not what they did"
