LETTER FROM HARRY.
OK THE LAKE, !
August 26. 1875. (

August 20, 1875.
Since my last l have made the trip
to Tahoe City and Hot Springs. AT
the latter place I found Mr.. Richard
son, the proprietor, very fine gen.
tleman, but in despair at losses on
his hotel enterprise. He keeps too
good q house for the number and
wealth of his guests. Among the
most prominent of his guests at pres
ent are Mr.. Annis Merrill and wife,
Virden and wife, Mrs. Kenyon, Miss
Maronie. Mr.. Merrill is an old gentle
man "a years of age, lawyer of San
Francisco, once prominent, but now
retired on fortune. 1t was real
pleasure to meet this refined gentle
man and his elegant lady, and had
you listened to his descriptions of
travel and (using his own words)
Goods wonders" as the tears of joy
and worsliipping heart stole down
his cheeks in the glowing recital, you
would have also taken his wrinkled
hand and asked Gods blessing upon
him. Mrs. Vcrden, although badly
scalded, is now nearly able to travel
again. 1t was a, fearful accident, and
one for which no one is to blame.
When it first occurred, the ladies
kind, good,synspathetic souls-stood
around and wrung their hands, until
the writer suggested that a plentiful
application of oil and -four to the
scalded limbs would be more bene-
fetal than tears. 1t was finally done,
and gave almost instant relief.
Among the other curiosities met at
Hot Springs was an elderly couple
from somewhere East, living in one
Of the cottages. They were very
loving, and when we were told that
they were not married, but were
"affinities," Chats free-love for
doing as you are a mind toy, we
naturally held up our hands in holy
horror; but then, you know, people
of d street do just the same, and no.
body cares. So it's all right, l sup
pose. They said they "were gather
ing specimens for the Centennial"
l stopped at Tahoe City but a
short time, just long enough
to note that it is "way up
both in style and prices. As that
last shirt was about done for. l said
nothing to nobody, and came away
glad enough not to be recognized
Since my last, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Sherman, children and Jack y
Miss Fannie Einstein, of Virginia;
MISS Carrie Heyman, OF virginia
Mr.. C. d. McDuffie, of Silver City;
Mr.. Ed. Harris, of Gold Hill; Cap
tain Day, Of Gold Hill; w. H. Les
ter, of Silver City, and one or two
others are at McKinney's. Mrs
Med. has had a pretty severe time,
but is now convalcsent. Mrs. Peter
Hornick's little child is not expected
to live through the day, and Mr.. H.
has been sent for. A grand ball
takes place at Yank's tomorrow

HEAT AT WHICH MINERS CAN
WoRk.-Some time ago the English
Parliament appointed Commission
to report upon the coal fields OF
Great Britain and ascertain to what
depth the mines could be worked.
We extract from the report that por-
ton only which relates to what de
gree of temperature q man can work
under ground:
"The deliberate conclusion to
which the Commission arrived on
this point, after having examined all
the practical miners, engineers, ply
sicians and other experts within
reach, is that Il miner can no longer
steadily perform his work the mo-
ment the thermometer reaches .
temperature of 9S degrees F.; that
is, blood heat. Above this point fe-
fer will gradually set in, the number
of pulsations per minute in some
cases reaching $50. 1t was shown in
evidence that in some places miners
did perform work in a temperature
as high as 1913 degrees, but this was
only tor few minutes at a time, af-
ter which they would retire to q
point where the temperature would
be much lower, in order to recupe-
rate"

1t is very common for young mon,
nova days, to study how little they
can make suffice, in the way Of the
labor they perform tor their employ
ers, rather than how much they can
possibly do to render themselves
useful. We say this is common
now, and we suppose it has always
been common. But we think it will
be found, on examination, never to
have been the course pursued by
men who in after life became dis
tinguished for their success. Such
men worked for their employers as
afterwards, when they got into bust
ness on their own account, they
worked for themselves. Let young
men take note of this fact. 1t is to
them OF great significance. If, when
they come to do business for thsm-
selves, they wish their efforts to be
crowned with success, let them lay
it's foundation by the manner in
which they work for their employ
ers. s4l4G u lf ~

The Pacific mail investigation has
gone as far, probably, as it will 90 in
ferreting out the mean by which the
subsidy TO the company was obtained.
1t has brought to light the fact that at
least @900,000 were used as a corruption
fund, to secure the passage of the act
by which the government pays the COM
pany a second subsidy of $500, 900 a
year. The appropriation having been
obtained by the corrupt use of money,
should be cut off; and, unless this is
done, the country will hold Congress
responsible for I glazing recreancy of
duty. But there is something more for
a special committee to do. The late in
vestigation has shown that certain men,
bers of the present Congress, as well as
some members elect of the next, are in
volved in the transaction. If Congress
is not to- become a by-word of corrup-
ton, it must be purged of men who
make merchandise of their votes.

A MAN named William Matthews, shot
and killed a young girl named Katie
Travers, in st. Joseph, on the night OF
the 18th inst. No possible reason (be-
yond inherent deviltry) is given for the
diabolical act. The girl and her aunt,
and Matthews. were sitting talking in
the room. The girl had occasion to
leave, and as she reached the door,
Matthews unexpectedly rose up and
shot her through the left side, and fired
a second time without effect. \ short
time afterwards he gave himself up to
the police. and expressed the greatest
contrition for the awful crime he had
committed, but assigned 40 cause. The
crime created great sensation in St.
Joseph.
The Herald, of the 10th. has the fol-
lowing comments on the occurrence
Never in the annals of crime have
we read of a case parallel to that of
VIM. Matthews, the nan now confined
in Jail on charge of numbering Katie
Travis. The man could not have been
insane. He detailed to the reporter of
this paper the particulars of the murder
so perfectly as to preclude that idea no
insane man could have done such a
thing. lie is simply an abject picture
of remorse.
Matthews was incarcerated on Thurs
day night last, and since that time he
has not eaten 4 bite. The man seems
determined to starve himself to death,
and may do so unless he gets too hun
cry. AS yet he stands. up well, and not
diminished in flesh, and yet a continu-
ance of abstinence from food must ulti-
mately show its effects. Four days
without food would seem to be enough
to break down an iron constitution.
On Sunday night the prisoner was
terribly agitated and slept but little. He
complained that visions of the poor gIrl
he had murdered were haunting his
couch. and he could not sleep. FIRE.
quently during the night he would get
up and kneel in prayer, and yet his
prayers were nothing but mere gibber-
ish that no n could understand. The
mans very soul seems stricken with
horror at his own act-and we do not
wonder at it.
HE finally succumbed to the gnaw-
ings of hunger, and called for food,
which was given him. We understand
he committed the dreadful deed when
under the influence of liquor.l
