A young man named William Nc
Donough, a miner working in the
Gould and Curry, has been arrested in
Virginia, charged with aterrible crime.
II is alleged that about two months age
he outraged three little girls living III
the vicinity of the mine. The children
range In age from eight to- ten years,
and a loalhesome disease has been
communicated to them. McDonough
maintains his innocence.
Trade dollars have gone up more
rapidly than they ven down. They
are now very nearly at par and as they
are each day becoming more scare
will soon be above it. The stopping of
coinage and their steady flow out o.
the country are of course the reasons
for the rise.
The productions Of the mines of the
Comstock lode for August aggregated
over 81, SOC. 900 in bullion-a good
showing. When the new mills OF the
California and Consolidated Virgins
mines are fairly at work, the monthly
production will doubtless average S.,
900, GEO..
The Leopard Mining Company, o
COrnucopia, shipped, via Carlin, pei
Wells, Fargo d Co.. on Wednesday
last, four bars of bullion valued at So,
200, and yesterday morning four NOR
bars valued at 5000.
The bullion shipment from the Ophi

THE SIOUX CAMPAIGN.
Terry and Crook Smarting under
Public CriticIsn-The Campaign
q Failure-what II being Done.

BIsMACK, ID. t., Sept. 4.
The following is from Terry Camp,
on the Yellowstone river, dated August
26th: Yesterday morning Gen. Terry
moved his command after an eight
days rest, marching twenty miles be-
fore camping. Crook had changed his
camp the day before in search OF better
grass, going nine miles up Powder
river, his last nights camp being about
ten miles in advance of ours. Our road
is that diabolical trail which had enticed
US so far to so little purpose, and which
had been abandoned as a hopeless job.
The reasons for taking it up again were
that the Generals were in absolute ig-
norance OF where the Indians had gone
and what they we're doing; that the
campaign had proven a failure so far;
that something had to be done for APP
pesrance sake; that the trail was the
only Indian sign found, and that the
army might reach the agencies by this
quite as well a. any other. Everybody
has grown dissatisfied with what they
claim to be continued mismanaRement
of the officers, and criticise the conduct
Of affairs severely and frankly express
their disgust at having anything TO do
with a campaign which evidently vas

steamer which was still waiting near
our last camp met the Josephine and
Yellowstone coming up. Forty miles
below Glendine creek both vessels
were fired upon by the Indians, one
private being killed. Several small
parties of Sioux were seen at different
points on the north bank OF the river,
bun only one of them came within
range, and they quickly retreated be-
fore the sharp firing from the boats,
one chief falling as though badly hurt.
Just above here the Josephine picked
up a white man who hailed her.
He with another had deserted from
Little Garrison, at Glendine creek, and
had been surrounded by Indians. His
companion was killed. scalped and
m~utilatei, and he himself badly
wounded in the arm. Creeping be.

THE sUTRo

The Sutro tunnel II now In 1900 feet
and its completion within two years is
q probability. The pe~rtinacity with
which tho Sellgmans and other London
capitalists have put up their money to
the tune Of nearly three million dollars
for the prosecution OF this work, and
that too, In the face of every obstruc-
ton, and the full knowledge that no
profit can be derived from it until after
t, years OF litigation, If ever, has been a
source Of wonder TO everybody. But
the tunnel runs steadily In; work never
ceases and there seems TO be no scare
ity OF coin. What IL more, the attitude
of the mining companies towards the
tunnel does not frighten Its hackers nor
cause them q moments anxiety. There
must be some reason for this. London
capital 10 sensitive usually and we
would have thought that 1t would have
been quick to take fright at the combin.
ed opposition In this part Of the world to
the tunnel scheme, and the general
lack Of faith In It's utility. A contem-
porary speaks rs above, but after all we
can see no reason why the proprietors
Of the tunnul should be the least alarm
ed. Every mine on tho Comstock has
taken the Government patent subject to
the terms Of the Sutro tunnel franchise,
royalty and all.

Also PAID SHORT o-day's dis
patches inform us that Governor
Hayes also lodged his income tax to a
very considerable extent. We are
willing to believe that both Hayes and
Tilden figured down to the bedrock
on Uncle Sans evenu gatherers,
and that, too, without being much the
worse for it. The income tax law was
an iniquitous enactment, and during
its existence there was not one bust
ness man in ten thousand who did moi
try to evade it.

THE silver question, says an OK
change, has entered largely into the
campaign in Ohio, and is of material
aid to the Democrats. Several of the
renominated Republican Congress
men, who voted against the bill to re-
store the silver dollar, find that their
course has materially impaired their
chances Of reelection.

rha THRONE or snIomnn.

The following account Of a re-
markable piece of mechanism is
taken from a Persian manuscript
called "The History of jerusalem"
1t purportS to be a description of
the throne of King Solomon, and
if the details are correctly given it
undoubtedly surpasses any piece Of
mechanism produced in modern
times. The sides of it were pure
gold, the feet of emerald and rubies
intermlxed with pearls, each of
which was as large as an ostrich's
egg. The throne had seven steps;
on each side we're delineated orch
ards full of trees, the branches of
which were of precious stones, rep.
resenting fruit, ripe and unripe; on
the tops Of the trees were to be seen
figures ofplumage birds, particular
ly the peacock, the etaub, and the
kurges. All these birds were hol-
lowed within arti6cially, so as to
occasionally utter a thousand melo-
dious sounds, such as the ears Of
mortals never before heard. On
the first step were delineated vine
branches, having punches of grapes,
composed Of precious stones, fash
Toned in such a manner as to rep
resent the various colors Of purple,
violet, green, and red, SOFAS to rem
der the appearance of real fruit.
On the second step, on each side
of the throne, were two lions Of
terrible aspect, large as life, and
formed of cast gold. The nature
of this remarkable throne was such
that when Solomon placed his foot
ION the first step the birds spread
forth their their wings and made d
~fluttering noise in the air. On his
touching the second step the lions
expanded their claws. On reach.
ing the third step the whole assem-.
blage of demons and fairies anC
men repeated the praise Of deity
When he arrived at the fourth steI
voices were heard addressing hin
in the following manner: "Son o
David, beIthankfulfo for the blessing.
which the Almighty has bestowed
upon YOU" The same was repeated
on his reaching the fifth step. Oh
his touching the sixth all the chill
dren of Israel Joined them, and OIL
his arrival at the seventh all tn
throne, birds and animals becam
in motion, and ceased not until h
had placed himself on the roya
seat, when the birds, lions, ant
other animals, by secret spring;
discharged a shower of the mos
precious perfumes on Solomon, afte
which two of the kurges descende,
and placed a golden crown upoI
his head.
