SUFFrRyNGS OF TIE HERZGGO-
vINIASS.

New York. December ga private
letter from Rasusa. Dalmatia Ausiria.
from lady who is an eyewitness of the
sufferinss of Rs.zegovinian refugees.
contains the following : Very many Of
the children had only one garment tied
together and principally composed
mass of rags which seemed 10 make
their naksdness mors pitiful; and yet Of
all the refugees those AT E4gu>a ATE the
most fortunate, the best fed ard clothed.
There are now present III the district OF
Ragusa alone about twelve Thousand
refugees, nearly ali women, children and
old men. In Montenegro there are
81. eco, in Croatia and Servia thousands
again, the whole number Of fueitives
amounting to nearly 10000. With the
means received UP to the present time
5000 or $4,000 people might be pro-
tsctsd to the extent of blanket
apiece, from the winters cold, but
not the remaining 100000 or more
with their food and roof to cover
them-to say nothing of the wounded
men brought in from battle sick and
dying. and the child-bearing women
and the pest-s,ricken people The
lady makes an earnest appeal for help
to keep from death by cold and starvn-
ton a whole population whose sin Is
that they are Christian dogs. She adds:
Ny husband was on the frontier OF
Bosnia where the river Save divides
Turkey from Austria. He was entteatec.
by the people of Austrian vill,Ges not to
cross the river md euter the Turkish
town. as he would certainly lose his hfe; !
bat BY allowing himself to be introduced |
as a nerchsn. from Trieste he was un-
molestsd and walked through the streets |
constantly. Uexdless bodies Of Chris !
tians lay all about the streets. On the |
river he had seen two boats full of refI- |
gees striving for dear life to reach the |
Austrian shore. The Turks fired into /
them and one Of the boats was sunk and ,
the other reached the shore covered with ,
blood from the wounds OF the fuyitiv.s.
Headless bodies OF women were Il raiIng
on the water. and in the streets of the
town swine were feeding on the curpses
Of Christian women.

Tia Eureka .Seatiael Of December .,
il 9 long article replying to remarks OF
the Enterprise on the Ashim murder
trial, makes some very wild assertions
regarding the quarrel between the muir
dsrer and his vi,In. We pick out o
few misstatements at random. Tbs
Sentinel says that perasich net his death
in restaurant kept by an Irishman and
a Sclavonian. The eating house was
kept by Sullivan & Milstadt. There is
nothing in the evidence which decides
Nr. Sullivan's nativity. As to Milstadt,
be swears he 10 Dane-a native of &C.
penhagen. We have the evidence as
reported for the Inyo Independent. the
whole tone of which paper favors Ashim;
and the very worst that ia attempted to be
shown against Psrasich is, that on the
day before the murder he and Ashim
had soms high words, and that Pera-
sich put his hand to his hip " as if " to
draw pistol. The Sentinel says he did
draw pistol and brandished it in Ash
inns face. No such statement is made
by any of the witnesses not even by
Ashim himself. The Sentinel has a long
and highly erroneous account of the
shoo:ing-an account altogether at vari-
ance with the facts as Z oven at the
trial-and "a they were presented in the
APPEAL of last Tuesday. As tC Mr..
Ashim' S amiable character, it is nc i'm
possible that whom the indie ment
against Alect1 Perasich, (for assau on
comes up for trial in the Orms-
by County District Court, the lamb-liks
nature OF that young murderer will be
more fully illustrated.

WHY?-The Carson ArFEAL calls on
Hon. Z. C. Stevenson To resign from the
Centennial Commission. That invita-
ton carries so much reprOaCh that it
ought never to have been made unless
there are serious reasons for 1t. What
are they. What has Nr. Stevenson done
that was wrong, or failed to do that
would have been right. Are the other
members Of the Commission dissatisfied
with him. or has sons one, in personal
quarrel. enlisted the syupaihies of too
ardent friends and prevailed upon them
to ask something which neither the bal
ance of the Commission nor the people

they have been legitimate subjects for

Grass Valley, December 3.-At 2:i5
this afternoon a heavy shock of earth
quake was felt in this place. buildings
were shaken, Windows that were stand
ing open were forced to and crockery
was ratified at fearful rate. but no Sc
rious damage was done. Duration of
shock about ten seconds. The motion
was from north to south. The shock
occurred during a heavy rain. The
weather is very stormy here.

gonigle We learn that al old lady. a
through passenger from the East, dis
appeared from the train somewhere
about PequOd. Some Of her fellow
passengers noticed that she was ab-
sent from her usual place in the car,
but not apprehending any danger to
tho lady, failed to notify the con-
Iacior Of her disappearance until the
train had made some twenty miles
after she was missed. Immediate
search revealed the fact that she had
left the train. but how. or in what
manner. il was impossible to deter
nIiEe. She was well provided with
baggage and means to defray her eX-
pen>es, Notwithstanding which, she
appeared very respondent, and had
told some Of the passengers that she

Washington. December "A report
having been circulated to the effect that
the President intended to relieve General
Babcock from duty as his Private Secre-
tlry on account of bis name having been
connected with the St. Louis Whisky
Ring, inquiry at the Executive this
morning met with the assurance that
there was no truth in the rumOr.
OF course there is no truth in the
rulnor. President Grant is not the man
to desert tried and trusted friend
simply because his enemies have been
busy casting aspersions upon his name.
There are too many men who permit their
enemies to dictate their course; but
Grant is not among the number.

THE RELIGION We WAN.

We want a religion that bears hsaviiy.
not only on the g exceeding sinfulness of
sin, but on the exceeding rascality OF
lying and stealing religion that ban
ishes small measures from the counters,
pebbles from the cotton bags, clay from
the paper, sand from the sugar, chickory
from ths coffee, alum from the bread,
and water from the milk cans. The re-
ligion that is to save the world will not
put all the big Strawberries at the top
and ali tos little ones at the bottom. 1t
will not make one half pair of shoes
of good leather, 30 that the first shall
rebound to the makers credit and the
second to his cash. 1t will not put Jou-
wins stamp on Jenlin kid gloves; nor
make Paris bonnets in the back room of
a Boston millinsr shop nor let q piece
of velvet that processes to measure
twelve yards come TO an untimeiy end in
the tenth. 1t does not put bricks at five
dollars q thousand into chimneys it con-
tracts TO build with seven dollar mate
rial nor smuggla white pine into floors
that have paid for hard pine nor leave
yawning cracks 10 closets where boards
ought to join. The religion that is 60
ing to sanctify the world, pays its debts.
Il does not consider that forty cents re-
turned for enc hundred cents given, is
according TO the gospel, though it may
be according to the law. 1t looks upon
a man who has failed in trade, and who
continues to live in luxury, as thief.

Is CoNDCCT TEsr OF SIN?

/ read the history of the Spanish Inaui-

themselves pure and upright, burned
ard uarclsi people simply because they
thought their sirfulness might he re-
deemed by torturss. Take the men who
brought upon US the civil war. They
do not think they committed a sin in
producing this b!oodshed; but there is
scarcely one of them whs does not say,
Il acted from the best Of Inotives"' All
this shows that even conduct cannot be
regarded as 4 true test of sin, for how
difficult. how impossible it is to divine
mems motives in their actionsi How
often man is generous, is noble. simply
because he is avaricious of fame.
Another test, that of experience. is
equally fallacious, as usually applied to
sin. Those only who know something
can know that they know nothing, and
one mus. have consciousness OF good
to see the evil. Hence it is that those
who have made this confession of sin in
the strongest terms have generally been
the very saints of earth.

SUNDAY READING.

From Apple,on's American Cyclopedia
We have the following history Of the dis
coverr of the holy cross:
The festival called the Invention o:
the Cross" instituted in honor of the
| finding Of the cross, in 326. by the
Empress Helena. the mother of Constan-
| tine. is celebrated on the 81 Of May.
The story Of the discovery is related by
Sozomen, RGiinus. TheOdCret Pauiinus,
Sulpicius SeyerUs. St. Cyril of Jerusa-
lem. and Chryscs'om; Int Eusrbius IL
silent regarding il. When Henlena
visited the scores about Jerusalem. II Is
said that eves, trace of the great event
had been obliterated by the heather. and
a temple az Venus stood upon Mount
Calvary: but Jew. who had treasured
up what traditions he could gather.
pointed out the probable place of
ChriSt's sepulchre. The spot being ex
cavAted, three crosses we're discovered,
and the title which that Of Jesus bore
was found lying by itself. 1t is related
that the cross of Christ was distinguished
from the other two by miraculous cures
Erought by ;ouchirg it. 4 Church WAS
built over the spot, ami part Of the
sacred relic was deposited in it; part
vas sent 20 Rome. and placed il the
Church Of Santa CToce in Gerusalsnne,
built to receive it; and the rest was put
by Constantine into the head Of statue
Of himself in Constantinople. The first
was carried away by ChOsrots, King OF
Persia, in Gil but was atterward recoy-
sred by the Emperor Heraclius, who
restored II - its Il former place in 62J.
In the time of the Cfusldes it was borne
to battle by the Christians, ami was can
.urei by Saladin in 1887, in his great
victory near TIbeyias. What is asserted
TO be piece Of the true cross Is still al
