PRESIDENT GRANTS SPEECH.

-e.r PRESIDENT GRANTS SPEECH.
My countrymen, it has been thought
appropriate upon this Centennial occasion
to bring together in Philadelphia, for pop
ulsr inspection, specimens OF our attain
ments in the industrial and fine arts, and
in literature, science and philosophy, as
we'll as in the great business of agriculture
and of commerce, that we may the more
thoroughly appreciate the excellencies and
deficiencies OF our achievements. and also
TO give more emphatic expression to our
earnest desire to cultivate the friendship
of our fellow members of this great family
of nations. The enlightened agricultural,
commercial and manufacturing peo-
pie of the world have been
invited to send hither CORE
spending specimens of their skill to ex-
hibit on equal terms in friendly competi-
ton with our own. To this invit alton
they have generously responded. For so
doing we render them our hearty thanks
The beauty and utility of the contribu-
tons will this day be submitted to your
inspection by the msnsgers of this exhi-
bition. We are glad to know that view
OF the specimens of the skill of all nations
will afford to you unalloyed pleasure as
well as yield TO you valuable practical
knowledge of the remarkable results of the
wonderful skill existing in enlightened
communities. 1a.I xa.a7l

brought from Central District by King

Humboldt Reduction Works gives en-
tire satisfaction to those gentlemen.
We are pleased to learn that large
quantity Of the same class of ore is
in sight. and will no doubt be a source
of large profit to those entorprising
men. We congratulate them, and
sincerely hope they may realize their
expectations. The frst-class assayed

fnture. which will be source of great
good to all classes of the community.

So from their quiet graves they SPEAK,
So speaks that quiet scene
Where now the violet blossoms meek.
And all the fields are green.
There wood and stream and flower and Diru
A pure content declare;
Ard where the voice Of war was heard
Is heard the voice Of prayer.

No soldier spurns foe!
No hate OF human kind
Can darken down the generous glow
That fires the patriot mind!
But Love shall make the vanquished stro ng
And Justice lft their ban
Where right no more can bend to wrong
Nor man be slsye to man.

Mourn not in life and death they teach
This thought-this truth-subllme;

Have taught US to forgive.

That beauty breaks the heart with bliss

THE uOVNTAIN FIRES.

Yesterday the fires in the Sierra just
ives. OF Us, Weakened and stimulated by
tb. strong wind, which almost amounted
to Washoe zephyr. seemed to rage with
tremendous fury. The volume OF smoke
which rolled up from, and was Blown
down through, Ash Canyon was I'M
mense. The whole northern sky was
beclouded by ii. We share the impress
sion that the appearance of these rolling
clouds of smoke was more fearful than
the actual danger or damage involved.
The scene conveyed the idea OF ire
mendous conflagration. The actual facts
are that the ground burned over has been
long since stripped of its timber and that
what was burning was the debris ct Old
woodcutters' camps, bark, limbs of trees,
decayed pine logs. etc. In Ash Canyon
are two fumes, belonging to the Railway
Company. These, we suppose, have
been des.royed-but they cannot be Of
much value. as their occupations gone.
The last considerable body of st:ndiBg
timber in that part of the mountains was
the old Tuhy tract. This WAS cleared
off last year by John McTarpahan and
Welded about Il, 600 cords of wood. We
suppose that a considerable part of this
amount still stands in the piles at the
head OF the railroad track, but We have
no apprehension of any Immediate dan
GER thereto. We learned yesterday after
noon that q. The Little Glenhrook
Mill, t." o-called. large quantity Of lum-
Der had been destroy ed. How this fire
occurred We are not informed. This
mill is the property. We understand: OF
YerinctoD, Bliss i Co. Yesterday Mar
lst.e Il Co.'S foreman came into town
and reported that several thousand cords
of wood accumulated at that camp had
made a narrow escape-tire dangerously
near having been discovered and e1tin-
guished before any damage had been
done. We hear that Mr.. Muldoon' = loss
is quite heavy He loses about l.ooo
cords, if the reports are true. We learn
that all the Clear Creek hills and guiches
have been swept clean by fire. The gen
eral belief is that these fires are the re-
suit of criminal design, though we I'M
derstand that the Muldoon fire was
caused by careiessnes on the part of men
engaged in blasting cordwood lengths

AhO1rt the VIRGINIA Relief Moneys

Yesterday the APPEAL made some re-
marks based upon an understanding that
there we're some 50. 600 in the hands OF
the Virginia Relief Committee which
were moi needed to alleviate distress in
that city. We have ascertained that
wEa,.we said was considered as referring
to the Relief Committee IN Virginia City.
Our meaning would have been clearer If
re had named what we meant to aIluds
20, that is to say, the Carson Committee
for the Relief OF the Sufferers by the
Virginia Fire. Also we find we were
misinformed as TO The amount OF moneys
les. il the hands Of the said Carson Com
mittee. The facts concerning the mat
ter are substantially as follows: Out OF
the last sum of moneys which had uccu-
INFLATED IN the hands of the Committee
BIZ the various contributors, and follow
ing the Relief Concert held here last
winter, Judge Hawley, chairman OF the
said Carson Committee, sent q check tor
ST. 800 TO Mayor Currie. This left u
balance OF $500 or tbereatout in the
COMMITTEES 5 hands. Out of this amount
sundry disbursements have been made
some of which were for the relief OF Vir-
ginia City sufferers, and some of which,
very properly, has been expended for the
relief of destitute and deserving people
here. There now remain in the bands
of the Committee somewhere in the
neishborhood Of $500. As to the best
disposition to be made of that money we
have not reached any conclusion. This
explanation would fall short OF being
complete if we failed to say that what
". said yesterday was not by any means
to be interpreted as request or hint
to the Relief Committee in Virginia City
to refund any sum of moneys sent from
here As to what has been done by
our Committee. no doubt is to be enter.
tanned of the wisdom and correctness OF
their course. from first to last. They
have done the very best in their power.
No doubt of that.

THE REESE RIVER SCANDAE.-Con-
siderable excitement exists among the
rauc!lers of Reese river on account o.
the recent illegal marriage OF which
mention was made in the Revelile OF
Saturday last. Ii appears that on the
evening of the marriage, while the
Young couple were enjoying dance
The naighbOrs OF the brides parents
went into the ball room, and forcibiy
took the newly made wife from the
room and drove her to the residence OF
her parents. This was done SO sue
cessfulIy that not even the groom or
his friends We're awars that she vas
absent until half an hour after the
Girl and the party had gone. and
when the forclble departure OF the
would be wife was made known, the
exasperate boy mounted a horse ana
secured the services OF two other boys
to help him over,ake his lest prize;
But, 10! all was in vain. The girl had
been safely delivered over TO her
parents. At this point the young
groom found out that he would De
prosecuted for perjury-he having
sworn that the girl was eighteen
wears of age when he knew he was
swearing to lie and Immediately
made tracks ioI paris "hh
While gailoping at a fast speed his
horse rave out and it became neces.
sarv for him to procure another. The
Young man entered a certain house on
Reese river and asked Of the propri-
etor the loan of horse, but the latter
being informed of what had ttranspired
positively refused to accede to the
boys request. He then made his way
to the next house and without per-
mission took fresh horse from its
proprieior's stable and drove off
where to, no one knows. Search IS
being made for the fugitive, and If
caught it will go pretty hard with him.
This extraordinary occurrence is to be
regretted, and many expressions of
sympathy for the girls parents We're
frequently heard in this city to-day
and in Reese River Valley yesterday.
