HlMELEss AND PENNGLEss.-A mel
ancholy instance of the reversal of for
tune in a brave man was recently brought
to light in Cincinnati. Major General
William II. Wheeler, of the late Confed
crate army, applied to the station house
in that city for lodging. He claimed to
be homeless, friendless and moneyless,
and to have walked all the way from In
dianapoIis, on his way to his old home
and birth place, in Culpepper Court
House, Va, where he wanted to die.
General Wheeler was dashng officer
who figured brilliantly during the war in
the cavalry service. He is sixty-two
years old, and graduated at West Point,
IN the class OF 80 while commanding at
the battle of Shiloh, his son was shot and
Killed in less than two weeks after, in
telIlgence came of the death Of his wife,
then the escape of all his slaves, number
ing nearly twenty, and lastly, his Virginia
farms that he had signed over to his
brother to escape confscation, and had
been seized or sold by that brothers.
creditors, leaving him a pauper. AT the
close OF the war he alleges, he drifted
from one place to another, finally bringing
up in Mississippi, where, until few
weeks since he has lived. He was ragged
and hoggard and had all the marks OF
extreme dissipation about him.

LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER MINES
There are now in the region known as
the Lake Superior mining district 68
hosting engines, % pumping engines and
40 stamp mills. The latter have 730
stamps all told, and are capable Of crush
ing 1874 tons Of rock every "a hours.
These figures we obtain from the London
Mining Journal. The copper mines of
the Lake are worked to greater depth
than is perhaps generally supposed, as
much as 1900 feet having been obtained
in n few cases. The machinery in use is
said to be of the very best material aad
workmanship, and the latest improve
ments in appliances suited for copper
mining are constantly being introduced
Thus far the amount collected in assess
ments exceeds that disbursed in dividends
by about 81, 600, 600, but the value of the
improvements upon the mining proper
ties far surpasses this sum. Prospecting
and development are being carried on
with vigOr and the district shows signs of
great activity as well as permanency.

TREATMENT OF EPIZooTIC.-Dr. K.
Vidal, of the Royal Veterinary School
of Spain, now residing in this city, sug-
gests to stable keepers and horse owners
that in order to prevent the progress of
the epizootic in their respective quarters,
they should fumigate their stables every
night with tar, and give their horses the
usual feed mixed with saltpetre, but nc
grain whatever should be used during the
prevalence Of the epidemic. The ami,
mails should be kept we'll warmed. No
other medicine is necessary. This treat
ment has been tried with great success,
and DR.. Vidal vouches for its efficacy

EXCHANGES PLEASE NoTICE.-If we
could look into and read the secret
thoughts, the hopes, the aspirations, the
disappointments of those with whom we
are brought into daily contact, we could
then realize how true it is that "the heart
knoweth its own bitterness" The life Of
the humblest often contains the germs of
romance in some hard experience Of fact,
which is concealed and hidden from the
vulgar gaze until, perhaps, in some sud
den uprising Of that hope which springs
eternal in the human breast" the veil Is
drawn from the past and the world learns
for the first time the sorrows Of a lifetime.
Such a case is now before US, and while
its hardships must awaken sympathy in
every heart, it will be accompanied with
the glad thought that the condition Of
law ard society which necessitated such
sacrifices as this to which we allude is
gone and gone forever.
Jesse Spencer is one Of our colored cit
izens. Born in slavery, he was, through
the kindness Of his master, manumitted
and became freedman at the age Of 21.
but Jesse married slave girl and here
was the source of his trouble. Three
children were born of this marriage and
the condition of the children following
the mother, they were held as slaves.
jesse worked and purchased the freedom
Of the eldest, and bargained for the free
dom of the other two and his wife. The
sum demanded 81 500 looked like a
mountain of money to poor Jesse, and he
turned his eyes TO California with the
same hope of sudden wealth which has
lured 50 many hither. Jesse crossed the
plains in 1852, and the year following he
received letter from his wife, stating
that she had escaped from the house OF
bondage, and with her two youngest chill
dren had reached that haven Of the col
ored race, the Canadas. Shortly after
receiving the letter Jesse's cabin with its
contents were destroyed by fire, and the
address from which it was written in
I
has Jesse been able to find clue to the
whereabout Of his wife or children.
In the more than twenty years Of si-
lence which followed the destruction of
the letter, great change has come over
the country. The overland journey which
Jesse lived through four months to make
is now completed in six or seven days.
Perhaps in the hope Of meeting the long
lost hus band and father, the wife or chill
dren may have reached the Golden State.
If any of them should have made this
journey and this item meets their eye,
Jesse can be found ut Shasta, where any
information concerning the long lost ones
will be thankfully received. Our ex-
changes will confer Il favor by noticing
the case. The former residence Of the
parties was in Palmyra, Marion county,
Missouri.-MdSta courier.

THE REMEDY.-Times are dull and
coin is scarce. Eastern financers have
proposed several remedies for the evil
now prevailing in the business world.
Some advocate imitation and some con-
traction. Some go for hard money and
some for paper money. We have thus
far stood aloof from the controversy, but
now we have a suggestion to make, which
if it is carried out, will, we are confident,
meet the wishes Of both theorists, ana
bring about what all desire-good Tunes
and plenty of money. We propose TO
have a petition forwarded to the clerk OF
the weather 20 continue the storm until
water is abundant, and repeat the dose
often enough to keep up the supply until
next September. II this is accomplished
the financial question will be settled

PRESERVING CIDER.--The following
method of preserving cider sweet is rec
ommended as superior to any other !:
" | allow the cider, after it comes from
the press, to stand until the pomace
settles. When this point is reached |
put it in clear vessel, and let it come to
boil, skimming off the skum carefully.
1t is then put in kegs and demjohns, and
tightly corked and sealed. By this proc
ess | have excellent sweet cider, not
merely for ;he entire winter, but for years.
This method would not of course be
available where large quantities are made
but for an ordinary family it answers ad
mirably,"

SOUND COMMON SENsE.-If you are
well, let yourself alone. One Of the great
errors of the age is, we medicate the body
too much. More persons are destroyed
by eating too much than by drinking too
much. The best gymnasium is wood
yard, a clearing or a corn field. A hearty
laugh is known, the world over, to be a
health promoter it elevates the spirits,
enlivens the circulation, and is marvel
ously contagious in good sense. Bodily
activity and bodily health are inseparable
If the bowels are loose, lie down in bed
remain there, and eat nothing until you
are well. The three best medicines in
the world are warmth, abstinence and
reDOse,

THE CdU says that somebody is going
into the business of raising ostriches in
this State, solely for their plumage. The
San Jose 1dUeuiser adds The intro
duction OF this industry into California
will interfere somewhat with the junk
business, the natural diet OF the ostrich
being broken bottles, scrap iron, harrow.
teeth, hoop skirts, and refuse tin ware.
But the ostrich is beautiful bird, and
we should think wonld be particularly
graceful after the first plumage crop had
been harvested.

PROPOSED New CoUNTIEs.-T res.
idents in and around Truc!lee intend rs k.
ing the Legislature for division of Ne
vada county, with Truckee for the coun-
ty seat Of new county. 1t is also pro-
posed to take enough territory from Yuba,
Placer, and Nevada to form new eoun-
ty IN order to make Wheatland a county
seat. In Iolo there is talk of forming a
new county, with the county seat at Win
tiers, the new town at the head of the ex-
tension Of the Vaca Valley Railroad.
The renewal Of the project for Orange
county out of Los Angeles is largely dis
cussed. There is also a movement to di.
vide San Bernardino, annexng to the new
county portions Of Kern and Inyo.

"MY dear friends, there are three
things | very much wonder at. The first
is that children should be so foolish as to
throw stones, clubs and brick bats up into
fruit trees to knock down fruit if they
would let it alone, it would fall ITSELF
The second is that men should be so tool
ish and even SO wicked as to go to war
and kill each other; if let alone, they
would die themselves. And the third
and last thing that l wonder at is that
young men should be SO unwse as to go
after the young women if they would
stay at home, the young women would
come after them. > Exchange.

THE REsULT.--Says an exchange
The dry goods merchants of Virginia
City, Nevada, recently entered into n
compact not to advertise in any of the
papers. 1t was money saving arrange
ment and the effect was the opening of
several new dry goods stores that did ad-
vertise and the failure Of number Of the
old firms that had agreed to the compact.
An amusing feature about the the bust
ness Of men that do not believe in adver-
tisng, is that they have to come to it at
last. The Sheriff does it for the benefit
of their creditors.

FROM the Virginia Chroatcte: Among
the few who have reason to be thankful
for the fire is a lady whose home was on
North c street. She had been bed ridden
for months, having lost the use OF her
limbs. When the fire approached her
dwelling she was carried out on a blan-
ket and was as feeble as an infant.
Within half an hour, to the amazement
of herself and family, she discovered that
the use of her limbs had returned, and
from that moment she has been well
