If this story came from any place but
Colorado, we wouldn't believe it. But
the newspaper men out there are all
George Washington's in their love for
the truth: a miner, who has been
prospecting in Southwestern Colorado,
has found a whole forest of petrifed
trees, with petrifed birds sitting on the
limbs singing petrifed' songs"

THE oldest ex-United States Senator
now living is said to be Peleg Sprague,
formerly of Maine, who was Senator from
that State from 1929 to 1885. He also
represented the Kennebec district in
Congress from 1926 to 1929, was subse-
quently for many years Judge of the
United States District Court of Massa-
chusetts, and is now living in Boston at
greatly advanced age.

THE crop reports from nearly every
section of the Northwest are very favor
able-much more so than previous ac-
counts have led the public to expect.
An increased acreage in wheat has been
sown, and the fields generally average
well and give promise of a favorable
yield. 1t is altogether probable that the
harvest the coming fall will be fully up
to, if it does not exceed, the average.

The loss of the Vicksburg may very
likely be followed by other steamship
disasters caused by collision with ice
fields. The enormous quantity of arctic
ice that has this season fioated southwark
until it has reached the track of the trans
atlantic steamers is unprecedented.
Fields Of ice have been sighted sixty
miles broad and hundreds of miles in
length. In addition to the field ice,
gigantic icebergs are numerous, and sew
eral narrow escapes from collision with
them, which would have been fatal, have
been reported by steamship Captains.

The addition to the pension list would
not amount to the deficiency caused by

The Gold Hill News characterizes
the difficulty between Assemblyman
Wren and Mcdonnell . q disgrace to
the Stste. We don't view it in that
light. The disgrace was consummat-
ed when Mcdonnell at his desk,
and, without being able to s~ubstantiate
his statement, and refusing even to
name his authority, made IN infamous
charge against a gentleman whose
name was never before breathed in
connection with q dishonOrable &C.
ton. Promptly upon the utterance Of
the foul calumny, Mr.. Wren o and
demanded the name of Tho author,
and upon being refused his ire was
naturally excited, and, to use a popn-
lar phrase, he slew off the handle,"
as ninety. nine persons In q hundred
would have done under similar cir
cumstances. But few persons, con-
sciors of their innocence and possessing
the manliness to vindicate it, would
have maintained their cOmposure un-
der such adverse surroundings, and
We IAN not perceive wherein the con-
duct of Mr.. Wren throughout the
whole affair has been other than such
as would have been pursued by any
gentleman with a reasonable amount
of old Adam in his composition. when
under q false accusation with
means of redress except a resort
to personal violence; and to attribute
to him any portion Of the disgrace
may have Injured to the State
from the affair, is either a sweeping de-
nunciation of human nature or a scath-
ing rebuke to the immortal Ferguson
for his celebrated disquisition upon the
of man.

EUREKA, New, March 8, 1875.
Mr. EDITOR: Some days ago / saw,
in an issue OF your raper, an extract,
taken from the proceedings of the
Legislature, now in session 1t Carson,
that the Senate Committee on Federal
Relations had reported to the Legisla-
ture Of this State adversely in regard to
the resolution which had been intro
duced memCrialixing Congress to give
to b Mexican war veterans y pension
for the valuable services rendered to
the Government, the fruits Of which
the narrow-minded committee are en-
joying in common with all on this
coast. / am aware, sir, that the Next
can Veterans have not appealed, AS an
association, to the Legislature OF this
State for any legislation. Perhaps
some member, a friend of the Mexican
War Veterans, has brought the matter
up for action, and this committee has
seen ht-which vas their right and
privilege, of course-to report adverse
ly. or uniavorably, for merely memo
rializing Congress in our behalf. Their
course, 1t seems to me-, has been very
~ ~ 0GtCAs .
venture To say that the committee ro-
ferred to never shouldered a musket in
defense OF their country, but would
rather skulk and hide than give q few
months, or years to the Government
in the "hOur Of our need" You will
bear me out, sir, in saying, that we can
not celebrate the Fourth of July.
Washington's Birthday, the Eighth
Day OF January, or inaugurate a Presi
dent OF the United States, and have the
occasion pass or in Q respectful and
respectable manner, without calling
out the 'poor soldier" / may say
that It Is usual, even in the inangura-
tion Of the Governors In the respective
States; and then, to receive such a re-
bike from . like committees, seems Ia
me- to be narrow contracted, and in
bad tasts toward the ''poor soldier"
The bill. or resolution, was not for the
purpose Of mourning one dollar Of OK
pense to the State, but merely Ia
J memorislise Congress in their behalf.

The telegraph reports the anne Of
thirty eight members Of the House
OF Representatives who did not vote
pro er ron. upon the final passage
Of the Infamous Force bill. OF
these, seven on either side had paired
of, leaving twenty-four members,
who were either absent from their
post of duty, or else feared to go upon
the record and shirked the issue. OF
these twenty -four, but three are classed
rs Democrats OF Liberal Republicans:
WIN. Il. NiblGck, of Indiana; Geo. NJ.
Adams, Of Kentucky; and Charles W.
Kendall, Of Nevada. or the causes
which led to this course on the part OF
Messrs. Niblack and Adams, we know
nothing, but We are pleased to know

fourth Congress, Niblack being re-

Republican. or Mr.. Kendall's mo-
tiyes our knowledge qualities US to
speak:
In 1870 Mr.. Kendall, at that time a
briefiess lawyer, with but q limited
circle Of acquaintance, was by q COM
bination Of fortuitous circumstances
chief among which was the notorious
political profiigacy Of his Republican
opponent, Tom Fitch-chosen to rep
resent the State of Nevada in Con-
gress. In 1872 he again presented him
self for the suffrages of his constitu-
ents. He had during the previous
term done absolutely nothing for the
State; re had, it is true, advocated, in
his feeble way, measures that he be-
lieved would rebound to our benefit,
but he was q norentity on the floor of
the House and his 9 res resulted
in naught. In his second canvass he
was opposed by an ADLER and a bet
ter man than himself; but Adolph Su-
tro, to whom Kendall had been
while in Congress q faithful and de-
voted servant, and who held the bal
ance Of power in Storey county, cast
his influence for him and he was again
elected. Last September he again
presented himself before the Demo-
cratic Convention in Carson. But the
thing was now past . joke. His Sec
ond term was like unto the first, save
that in one matter he had distih-
gnished himself. He had supported
the back-salary grab and was one of
the few who upheld the Ubiquitous
measufe; wen after the popular voice
had 50 Enthusiastically pronounced

Political history might be told as brief

tion. rejected him by the adoption of a
resolution condemnstory Of the back

dldgeon LEFT for Virginia City and a
Q inference with the Republican lead
srs. The story Of his shameless
treachery and of his half-insane raw
ings during the following can paign is
ito fresh in our memories to need re-
capitulation here. From that period
he seems to have forsworn all rela-
tons with the State Of Nevada, save
such Is are necessary to he maintained
in order to draw his pay. His voice

II his party nor his constituents have
