A MYSTERIOUS BIRTH AND CHEcKERED
LTE.-The following biography is from
the Sonora Democrat: 1--WE are called
upon to record the death OF John s. Nu-
gent, an old and well-known resident OF
Columbia in this county. His career
wss somewhat checkered and the mystery
surrounding his birth almost verges upon
romanticism. He was born in Dublin
about 1907, and was consequently sixty
eight years of age. He obtained his ed
ucation in the Dublin University, his
expense being betrayed with funds from
an unknown source. During his boy
hood he went to Jamaica and afterwards
emigrated to New York in 1850, where
he was enabled through the generous
pecuniary aid Of his unknown friends to
enter into a thriving wine business.
While in New York he married Miss
Fox. daughter OF merchant Of the firm
of Fox, Barclay & Livingston. A son
by this marriage Is now prominent
young lawyer in Utah. After his wife s
death Nugent came to California, having
in his possession $4,000, the bulk Of
which he lost in San Francisco. With
the remnant of his fortune he purchased
yacht and sailed for the Society Is.
lands, his little vessel being in command
of Captain William H. Clark, now res
ident of Sonora. Returning to Califor-
MIA he drifted Tuoumue and settled in
Columbia in 1854, where he remained
until about six months ago, when through
general debility and constitutional de.
cline, his mind gave way and he was
seut to the insane asylum at Stockton
where he died last Saturday, He was
very reticent in regard to his birth and
parents, alleging that he knew nothing
in regard to the matter, but from vague
hints, coming from nobody knows where
it has always been the general belief Of
his friends that he was the natural sor
George ~ of England, by his Inorganic
tic marriage with the actress, Mrs. Fitz
james, If this is true another paragraph
may be inserted in the celebrated Me
moirs.

SOMETHING NEw.-The following from
the Carson Tribune, if carried out in the
spirit in which it was conceived, will
open the way for the philanthropists of
Carson:
Several business men in town intend
clubbing together and forming society,
With n suitable fund, for the purpose of
purchasing a sufficient number of Car
son daily papers for distribution among
the impecunious of this town. The gen.
tlemen in question complain that three
days out of every six their morning and
evening papers are no sooner thrown
into their stores or Offices than the seek
ers after news snatch them and no more
is seen OF them. They say that they de.
sire to read the papers they pay for, and
in order to accommodate those who are
too poor or too mean TO subscribe, they
| will each take an extra one. All news
paper buns who are in the habit of pick
ing up the Tribune are requested to leave
their names at the office, in order that
the carrier may know where to leave
each copy, We hold it to be the worst
phase of petit larceny for a person to
purloin the newspaper OF another, and
more especially when the larceny is com.
mitted by those well able to pay theii
subscription. The club deem it neces
sary to issue at least one hundred extra
copies for this kind of distribution.

A CURIOUS PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE
The new hydraulic dump of the Ophir
Company is deserving of the above title.
Our people have been wonderingly gaz-
ing upon it from the time OF the laying
of its foundations. As each story was
added to its hight they supposed it was
the last but Babel-like it continued to
rise. When it had attained the hight
of about five stories and was rooted, all
supposed that they had seen the end of
its upward progress, but such was not
the case. Straightway small square
tower was commenced at one side of the
many-storied building, and this is now
ascending in the direction of the zenith.
This hydraulic dump bids fair to prove a
greater architectural curiosity than Con-
rad Wiegand's assay office, popularity
known as the "Palece of Truth" There
is great curiosity, too, about the maohin-
cry that is to be placed in this hydraulic
dump, and once it goes into operation it
will no doubt attract crowds of visitors.
The ore-house connected with the dump
is provided with seven ohutes; therefore
seven cars will be loaded at time. The
iron gates and gearing of the chutes ere
all finished and in working order. The
tall tower is doubtless to contain the n.y.
draulic elevator; in this tower it will
move up and down as cage moves in @
shaft. II ENTERPRISE, "a,

A Scientific Fallacv Cxpose

The st. Lewis Republican saws: It

and oft-repeated drama of "A Dog with
Something Tied to His Tall 1t wasn't
old oyster cans or q split stick affair but
somethin. entirely new. The dog,
which was little black. .and tan terrier.
with an aristocratic air, was following q
lady, and the boy was idling along the
street with a red toy.balloon which he
was holding by u string. 1t was a very
large balloon, as large as those tov-bal
looms ever grow. The lady passed the
boy and turned the corner. The dog
came trott:ng along and was about to
pass also, when the urchin, impelled by
spirit OF evil, grabbed him. Then, still
further instlgaled by the devil and cur.
iosity. the boy tied the end of The string

to reioin its mistress, but it didn't re-
gain her all at once. The balloon
Strengthened out the tail in an instant
SO that it pointed toward the zenith
with kind of excelsior expression,
and the dogs motion carried out the
idea perfectly. The wind freshened up
little, and then began series of re-
markable but ineffective movements on
the part OF the animal. 1t didn't seem

little snalches Of songs as never any cir.
cus dog did. 1t would make the most
tremendous leaps and land exactly in

would settle down to work with its fore
legs and ply them at the rate of two
million revolutions q minute, and get ov-
er the ground in manner that couldn't
have been supposed under the circum-
stances. The circumstance were pecu-
liar, though, and the dog didn't, during
the entire play, get beyond the block.
The red balloon scared with all the per-
sistency OF Columbian orators hyper
bole, and the terriers tail refused to
break. Then the dog got desperate and
bounded and struggled and vaulted
while the big balloon in the air bobbed
up and down like the cork on the line o f
9 giant fishing for whales. And all the
while the animal sang. Finally the
string broke, and the balloon shot up
toward the clouds. The dog disap.
Peared at the same time, though the
boy noticed something like y black aud
tan streak reaching for seventeen blocks,
which lasted for moment only. The
performance Is whole, had been q sue

boys mind. He concluded that his
schoOlmaster must be . fool. He had
been taught that body impelled by
two forces operating at right angles TO
each other would take an intermediate
course. He had just seen that such y
body didn't get along at all.

General, had all the soldiers followed the
example set by yourself.-You openly af-
nliated with the desperate factien that ''de-
mdaded da immediate cessation Of hostiifties.
ut the very moment when Sherman had
taken Atlanta and was preparing for his
great March to the Sea, aud when Grant
was drawing his deadly lines closer and
closer around Richmond and Petersburg.
You were the Jealous co-worker with En-
cry, who rejoiced In every Union defeat,
and who traitorously declared in his paper
after a slaughter OF Union troops that
"LINCOLN's HIRELINGs HAVE MET THEIR
DUE FATE. They FIND NOW THE HOSPIT-
ABLE GRAVES TO WHICH THx CHlVAL-
ROUS SONS OF THE SOUTH WILL
WELCOME TUE INVADERS OF THEIR
HOMES"
You were, repeat, the political asso-
ciate OF Eben +. Pilsbury, whose Infamous
teachings In Franklin county led ignorant
Wep into riOtOus resistance to the Gov
ernWeRt which he had not the courage
himself TO join, and who distinguished
himself even above Emery by the brutality
and blaekgusrdism with which he assailed
the Union cause and especially for the vile
language which he applied to Mr.. Lincoln
personally.
In view Of these facts, General, 1 was
struck when was an observer and report
er Of the convention which nominated you.
by the poetic fitness there was in selecting
Samuel j. Anderson as its presiding officer.
1t struck me as still more appropriate that
Eben +. Pilshury should be your Godfath.
er in the convention, and In presenting you
for ponipstions should soil you with the
slpe Of bis eulogy-asserting that you
had been true TO democracy as he under
stood 1t Sin all its yicissitudes." And ev-
eo more siguiticapt than all was ii that
Mxrcellus Emery should put himself for

keeper. and Invite the public 10 Q pre-ar-
ranged serenade which, With speeches al
