On the 29th of July 1875, President
Grant forwarded to the Secretary of the
Treasury private letter sent him from
st. Louis, with this Endorsement:
II forward this for information, and
to the end that lift throws any light upon
new parties to summon as witnesses they
may be brought out. Let no guilty
man escape if it can be avoided. Be
specially vigilant, or instruct those en-
gagged in the prosecution of fraud to be,
against all who insinuate that they have
high influence TO protect them. No per-
sonal consideration should stand in the
way of performing public duty"
This was good doctrine and it seems
to have meant business. Those who are
in position TO know the personal feel
iEgs of the President, state that he has
been much disturbed by the exposure of
frauds in st. Louis, and has expires sed
himself Ii IS und erstood that his letter
to Bristow quoted above, was expressly
TO direct that officials and others who
had abused his personal friendshi should
be made to suffer. The National Repa5li-
can, of Washington, says of the matter,
of which we have quot ted the essential
sentences
Secretary Bristow caused copies of the
letter and the above Endorsement by the
President to be forwarded TO the officers
in st. Louis upon whom devolVed the
duty of prosecuting the charges against
the persons accused, for their instruc ton
and guidance They were ordered to
leave no consistent and proper effort un-
tried to convict the guilty, regardless of
political or social station or private or
official connections. All compromises
were prohibited, and the whole matter
was intrusted TO the courts for judicial
determination. The Department of
Justice was instructed to pursue a like
uncompromising course, and these in
structiOns stand to this day unmodifed,
in foil force, and without countermand
or restriction. Aud they will so stand,
and will be Wig Orously pursued TO the
bitter end, regardless of whom they may
affect"

Prof Jenney's repo TT of his explora-
tions of the Black Hills region shows that
the Harney's Peak gold field is almost
wholly il Dako ia. covering an area of
apout 800 square miles, the gold deposite
being found in the valleys of the sire ans
Will ch drain that area, the most val liable
being in the valleys of the Spring and
Rapid Creeks and their tributaries. The
Bear Lodge gold field is wholly in wy
oming, 10 the extreme northwestern part
of the Hills, but the gold deposits are
very small, and the field but fifty miles
square. With regard to the gold deposits
of the Harney's Peak gold fields, Prof.
JenneY does not speak in very enthu-
siastic manner. he simply says tn ere
are many bars in the HarneY's Peak field,
especially upon Spring Geek, and the
valleys of those mountain streams, which,
when skillfullY worked by gangs of
miners with sluIces, will yield good re-
turn for the labor employed and tn e
moderate ca pital required to be involved.

The kind of federation which the
Church of Rome believes in is well set

recent address of the Pope to deputa-

Why is it permitted here. here in Rome,

freely every false religion : allowing to
the masters of error 10 teach all sorts OF
heresy, and at the same to poster and
torture clerical teachers, and especially
nuns, with treacherous examinations,

they know nothing following their own
caprices.

Senator Boutwell,, when speaking of
things financial, generally gives utter
ance TO practical good sense. There is
no answer toSthis. for example:
"Our difficulty is this: There IS more
paper money in circulation than there

Durposes il is not as valuable as coin.
Ii you dimin ish tie quantiiy the
parts will beco me more valuable: if you

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY-The fol
lowing, which We clip from the Washing
ton Republic, will be heartily endorsed
by any membea of the Republican party,
and is withal, a very cOgent reason whv
those who endorse it should belong to
the party:
We believe II civil aud religious liber-
iy: the right 10 vote for whom we please
without interference from our neighbOrs;
the right to travel or reside II any State +,
without danger to life, limb or prop 3rty;
the right to enjoy every public alVLIt-
age that tends to the improvement of
mankind the right to make ourselves
all that self-development can secure; ths
right to enjoy free opioiOn, ire speech,
free schools and free ballot. In word
we believe that sll men, rich or poor,
great or small, strong or week, should
have equal protection under the laws OF
the land, and an equal right to grow in
their individuality to the highest st ature
of manhood that il is possible for th EN- to
attain This is our political creed, and
for this reason we favor the Rep ublc ian
party. as the only one that can ermit us
to enjoy it. 3

A Singing Mouse.

We have in our house q r6ri duis, unfeathered
and quadruped-a veritable singing mouse. It
sings its little songs with all the musical trills
and as many of the variations" az mockipg
bird. Early in winter mouse began to fire.
quent one Of our bird cages.
He climbed up the window curtain and gained
access easily. He became SO tame. and inn erti-
nent that he was finally considertd pet instead
of pest. So he made his home with tho bird
and got new song in his mouth.
We could hardly believe it at first, but when in
the long winter evenings, while the bird cage
was covered with paper to exclude the light, We
heard the canary song in low soft tones floating
out from the cage like the faint. exquisite music
of dream" or as If the ghost Of some departed
canary had come back to interview it's mate, we
were led to solution Of the mystery, one we
least expected.
One evening we carefully lifted one corner Of
the paper from the bird cage, and there sat our
pet mouse singing as never mouse sang before.
Since then he is our household fairy, singing
every evening and at intervals through the day,
gayly as the cricket on the hearth.
Since the warm weather his favorite cage has
been removed to another room, and it is pitiful
to see him hunting for his fe altered teacher.
Climbing up the curtain to the place where the
cage hung he will look around moment, then
return to the window, and perched upon the
crossrai Of the sash, pour out his little soul in
song as mournful as that OF dying swan.
Then he steps down, and in q little while he is
heard again in his favorite niche near the clock.

First class in history, stand up, and tell us who
discovered America christopher Columbus Y
answers the first small boy. Not at all. "Susan
B. Anthony says the little girl in the pink PIMA
fore. That comes nearer, but it is not quite
right. We will tell you. 1t was Chinaman,
and his name was Hoei-Shin, and he struck our
continent IN the year 400 Ammo Domini. We
know this to be the fact, for Mr.. Chas. g. Leland
who gained high reputation as historian and
philosopher under the soubriquet Of "Hans
Breitmann," has just published book in Lon
don to prove it. He demonstrates from the Chi
csc records that the Celestial navigator named
Hoei-Shin went to Tahan (Kamschatka) in the
year 400, and from thence to country about
20 900 Ii (short Chinese mies) east Of that .un-
try.
When he returned home he gave circum-
stantial &C cunt Of the people and products Of
the American Continent, which account remains
on the Chinese records to this day, and tallies
closely with the facts as since ascertained.
There is certainly no objection to be urged
against the narrative of the discovery of our Con-
tinent 1t 10 only matter OF regret that Hoei-
Shin's discovery was not followed up, and the
land colonized by his peaceful, slant eyed coun-
trymen. II America had been settled by China
men we should all have been much better off.
We should now be wagging our pig-tails in quiet
and eontentment, without Beecher scandal in
the length and treadth Of the land.
