such marked attention to little, dark Miss

stereotyped number of fower-girls,
queens, knights and peasants crowded
the floor; but the prettiest dancer in the
room was one little Indian, Minnehaha

pretty and unique. Becked off with a

RetributiOn.

Since putting Q paragraph in
type, in reference to the Carson
Mint, and Wells Fargo's Express,
and the G. P. r. R. Co., we have
learned to a certainty that the Car
son people fully believe that the
attack on the Mint was for the pur-
pose of breaking it up, that the en-
tire carrying trade of the institution
might be conferred on those cor
porations. The Mint authorities
now propose to induce the govern
ment. if possible, to cease patron
izing the express; that Is, when the
government has large quantity Of
coin to ship, let it be carried in the
postal or other car under guard of
its own. In this way, too, the rail
road company might work out some
OF its Indebtedness to the govern
ment. There is good deal of feel
ing on this subject down at Carson,
but want Of tjpe and space forestalls
further particulars to-day.
The Texas Pacific Railroad scheme
exhibits signs of life semi-occasional-
ly in Congress. bpt we are afraid it
will have to 60 over till after the
Presidential election, Politics make
towards of the peoples best represen-
tatives, and little better than thieves
of the balance.

ONE OF the San Francisco papers
publishes the report of an inter
view with Lucky" Baldwin, who
has lately been visiting a number
Of tho leading mines on the Com
stock. The general tenor of his re-
marks ss reported, is favorable to a
general rise in the stock market on
the merits of several mines at either
end Of the great lode. He men
toned the prospects Of early and
important strikes in Mexican, I'M
perial. Alpha, Yellow Jacket, and
Bullion and Overman. and the effect
OF these new bonanzas he thinks
will be quite perceptible on the ad-
joining mines-pr rather the stock
pertaining to them. Baldwin ex-
presses himself very frankly, how
ever, and does not advise anybody
to take his word as authority on the
subject. Here is an admission ex-
pressive Of anything else than uni
ve,sal "iuek" pure and simple:
A Reporter--Mr. Baldwin, your
luck is almost proverbial, and the
publishing OF yonr opinion might
get some poor devil to invest in
some of thase mines?
Mr. B.-Now, that's just what 1
was going to speak to you about;
and it is the enief reason why noth-
ing should be said, for il they spec
nlste upon my luck they may get
terribly played. Since have made
some money l have dealt heavily,
and if people knew how / get
scorched once in q while in my ad-
vices and my own judgment, they
wonldn't follow me any quicker
than they would YOU. / have paid
out lots of money because some
people I accidentally met were con-
tinually asking me what to buy; if
the stock went down which ] speak
fsvoyably of was forced to take it
up or never hear the last Of it.

Double Killing Scrape.


MENDocINo, Cal, March 2S.-A
terrible tragedy occurred in house
of i'll fame at half-past 8 o'clock last
evening, which resulted in the death
Of one of its inmates. named Lena
Mitchell, and a man from San Fran
cisco, named Frank Mitchell; both
were shot and killed by Harry Klein
schmidt. The report is that Mitchell
made a motion as if to draw IA pistol,
when Kleinschmidt shot, but at the
same time the girl OF Mitchell
stepped in between them and received
ball from Keinschmidt's pistol in
her breast, killing her instantly.
Kleinschmidt shot "a second time, the
BALL entering the abdomen OF Frank
Mitchell, from the effects of which he
died in short time. Kleinschmidt
is under arrest.

The American Nemesis.

sequent howl set up Of the ant-Chl-
nese sort, is altogether amusing as
well as subject matter for serious
thought. 1t is somehow suggestive
of the presence of the very goddess
of vengeance herself, for in the war
of races on this continent the great
American bloviator has seemingly
found his match. From the shrieks
and howls of the Chinese alar-
mists, philosophic looker-on must
arrive at but the one simple conclu-
sion that the Anglo-Saxon is thor
oughly Inundated and conquered by
an "inferior and effete race" If so,
does it not serve him right2 He
overran this continent with fire and
sword, and because the proud native
of the country could or would not
adopt the habits of the conqueror,
as the Chinese did those of the tri-
umphant Tartar, the Indian has been
literally trampled out of existence.
Physically, he was on the average
the superior of the Chinaman, who
now comes with new tactics and Gus
toms, and comes to stay. In the
meantime, the accused greed Of the
Anglo-Saxon introduced African sla-
very on American soil, as if deter
mined to make up for the loss of the
nomadic aborigine. In the course
of time, the avenging goddess, 50 to
speak, put in her appearance, and a
million of lives and billions of al
mighty dollars were spentin washing
out the crime of mans inhumanity to
man. The innocent black was al
most quiet spectator during the
conflict.
The Anglo-Saxon slaughtered the
native Americans because they would
not work in the way prescribed
would not pillow and sow and reap
and manufacture. 1t is the general
belief that the Indians were an off
shoot of the Aslatics, and if there is
anything in the avenging-God bust
ness, it is only natural to conclude
that the time is come for balancing
of accounts. The whirligig of time
has brought its revenge in a way to
be sufficiently despised. The proud
American-"the superior race"-has
got the negro on his hands-a very
initiative but rather lazy mortal-and
in lieu of the humbled red man
comes the yellow Asiatlc, possessing
an industry and economy as close and
keen as the Indian was incident and
improvident.
There seems to he n fitness of
things about this Celestial coming.
If the invader, so-called. had landed
on the eastern side of the continent,
where the winters are long and cold,
the competition you'd be exasperat-
ing enough; but on the genial shores
of the Pacific, no suffering is expert.
enced-it is merely threatened. Nc
people on the face Of the earth are
more comfortable and Independent
as the world goes, than the whites OF
the Pacific coast, Notwithstanding the
dreaded Chinese. But nevertheless
the imaginary suffering and humilla-
ton incident to the situation are suf
flcient to keep the community in q
constant state of suspense and antici'
patton. The war of races goes on
apace, and time brings its revenge:
all the same.

If THE criminal and slave element

be barred admission to this country,
there would be little trouble present

THE Enterprise charges the
would-be Carson Mint scandal upon
Wells, Fargo & Co., alias the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, which
corporation owns majority of the
express stock. The object of the ex-
press people, according to that paper,
is to break up the coming of money
at Carson, thereby forcing the entire
shipment of bullion to San Francisco
for coinage, the coin for use in Ne
vada to be re-shipped, as it were, thus
entailing double expressage. 1t is
possible that this is correct solution
of the cause of attack on the Mint.
but hardly possible, unless the Gen.
trail Pacific folks are capable of re-
sorting to smaller things than we
ever supposed they could he, One
thing certain. whatever the motive
of the raid on the Mint, it has result
ID disastrously to the parties who
coaceives it. 1t fell short Of being
