story 50 it would be believed, and he
was, AS has been shown, the victim of
his own shadow. Eyarts quoted from
the testimony of Moulton as to his call
ing in and telling him Tilton wished to
sea him. This friend, as he called him,
wanted to propiate the mind of Beech
er towards Tilton and gloss over the
stories told Beeeher by Bowen. Moul-
ton weighed his words and chose his
topics for this object. Beecher said,
when Bowen brought Tilton to him. he
pledged friendship to him (Beecher).
Tilton finds Bowen has been using that
interview with Beecher for his own pur-
poses, and Beecher found that Bowen's
stories had acted on Tilton's mind and
driven his mind astray Moulton had
told Beecher he wanted 10 show him how
heather would act in such case aud
protfered hesthen's friendship. Then
| came the interview between the husband
and the alleged paramour. How would
all the passion, anger and grief of the in
jured pour forth in food at such an
interview, and Tilton's narrative of the
meeting was intireiy inconsistent with
such situation. He began by telling
Beecher he wished him TO blot from his
memory the letter he had written him
and wished TO ascertain how Beecher felt
towards him. He knew Beecher loved
his wife but wished to find out how
Beecher felt toward him. Eyarts con-
sidered the testimony of the letter in re-
gard to this interview in detail, arguing
that the whole conversation was absurd
and inconsistent with the charge Of
adultery.

PRosPEcrNG.-The success Of several
parties in finding promising locations on
the south western side of the ridge, has
stimulated others and quite a number of
men may be found daily scattered over
the hill sides infinitely examining the
ground in search of indications. This is
the true and only mode of finding mines.
Favorable locations cannot bs found by
lounging on street corners or wearing ont
the seats of the saloons. Such things
have to be searched for on perhaps steep
bill sides and rocky canyons. II
is true that many efforts though
energetic aud we'll directed prove
failures, but one success often proves
abundantly able to remunerate all
former mishaps. At least this is the faith
that makes the prospector and urges him
to climb many weary steep, incur
risks and perform labors that might

and courageous hearts. We say honor

Chatham again into the ring, they will

ambitious young men who desire to shy
their casters into thu hempen circle are
William Harris and William Lynn. The
former was born within the shadow of
the chalky cliffs of Cornwall, and the
latter amid the quaking boys of old Erin.
Both are young men, and neither has yet
engaged in regular prize fight, though
one of them has gained decided eminence
as bar-room fighter. Harris is about

but said to be grit to the backbone. He
arrived in this city about four months
ago from Grass Valley, and is compare
lively unknown. Lynn is three or four
years older and has been here a long
time. They are middle-weight men, and
will fight at about $50 pounds. The fight
