been so persistent in trying to make
people believe the Hills are a fraud
and humbug, containing no gold, that
We should like to show them there is a
little there, or has been. We have
bought about $4,000 of dust,
and l have seen as much more
brought in by different parties who
have shipped it away themselves. /
am also informed by parties from

that there is at least $50, 900 in Gus

ment. The Indians are so bad no one
will attempt to bring any large
amount out with them. You can safely
state to any n that there is plenty Of
gold, and in paying quantities, as soon
as it becomes safe to prospect, but at
present the Indians are very trouble

really hope the "potent, grave and
reverend seignors' composing this
honorable body will do something to
prevent the danger of that terrible
contagion, small-pox-now prevail
ing at Laramie and Evanston-from
reaching our city. A board of health
should be appointed, clothed with
full power to adopt any measures to
this end which may be deemed neces-
sary, and also to see that our filthy
streets and alleys are cleaned up i'm
mediately. Provision should also be
made for the vaccination of every
person in the city. The LEADER is
not an alarmist, but it deems these
measures urgent, and hopes to see
the Council do its whole duty in this
important matter. Remember, ga

a ROBBER's CAVE IN SPAIN.-A strange
story comes from Spain. A detachment
OF soldiers some time ago discovered, in q
secluded part Of 4 mountain chain, a cav
ern which was inhabited by robbers, who
had taken advantage Of the civil war in
order 10 ply their criminal avOeatiOns.-
An aicove was attached to this subter-
ranean dwelling, the door Of which the
soldiers broke open. They were astonish-
ed TO find the apartment decently furn-
ished, aud provided with books, flowers,
and even piano. In an easy chair sat a
venerable old man. The soldiers intero-
gated him, but obtained only incoherent
replies. IL has been ascertRined, from
the confession of one of the robbers, that
the old man was the cashier Of a banking
firm in Burgos; that they had broken in
TO the bank and stolen the safe, and taken
the cashier with them, In hopes that he
would assist them to open the safe. Dur
ing the retreat, which was marked by
many adventures, the intrepid cid man
succeeded in evading the vigilance Of his
guardians for short time, and secreted
the safe in place where he wOuid be able
to recover it afterward. When the
booty was missed and the robbers failed
to ascertain the place where it was con-
cealed, they revived the proceedings Of
the famous chdgeuTs by roasting the feet
Of their victim in order 10 eXtort a con-
fesssiOn. But the inflicted tOrtures had
a different effect. The man became in
sane, and il was with the object of restOr-
ing him TO reason that the robbers he
slowed the utmost attention on him, in
the hope that when he recovered he
would reveal to them the place where
the safe was concealed.

A CAPITAL FABLE.-The hopelessness
of any ones accomplishing anything
without pluck is illustrate in an old East
Indian fable. A mouse that dwclt near
the abode of a great magician was kept in
such constant distress by its fear of a cat,
that the magician took pity on it and
turned it into cat immediately Il be-
gan TO suffer from fear of a dog, so the
magician turned it into a dog. Then IL
began to suffer from fear of a tiger, and
the magician turned 1t into tiger
Then it began to suffer from fear Of u
huntsman, and the magician Ia disgust
said: ''Be mouse again. As you have
only the heart Of mouse, il Is Impossible
to help you by giving you the body of
nobler animal - and the poor creature
became q mouse again. Il is the same
with a mouse-hearted man. He may be
clothed with the powers, and placed in
the position OF brave men, but he will
always act like a mouse, and public Opin-
ion is usually the great magician that
finally says 70 such a person; eco back
10 your Obscurity again. You have only
the heart of a mouse; IL is useless 70 try
10 make a lion of you"

STAY AT HOME AND WORK.-IhcTc is a
popular idea in all the old States that
when 4 man fails at anything else he can
go West. Hundreds of thousands have
tried it who would be glad if restored to
their old homes and positions. But when
a man gets out there, especially if he has
family, he is generally obliged to stay
and make the best of il. \ good many
citizens have gone out from TENNESSEE,
and we hope they are doing well; but
they do not always find greenbaeks grow
ing on trees. A gentleman of means,
who went to San Francisco lately with
a view to embarking IN business, writes
back:
''This is great place, but matters are
upon too large a scale for Z man Of Ordi-
nary means or ordinary business. Some
suggestions have been made about busi-
ness, Major - and myself made inqui-
ries as to rents, etc. The lowest price an

vorite location as high rs 81, 600 per month.

NOVEL PIECE OF MECHANIsM.-Mr. An
drew GaudrOn is, after nearly year Of
incesSant labor, about completing 4 COM
plicated piece of mechanism designed 70
represent ''The Resurrection of General
Washington, - aud which il is his inten-
tion to exhibit at the Centennial Exposi-
tiOn. The whole apparatus Is inclosed in
a cabinet . feet high, So feet broad, and
2ts feet deep. The lower half contains
the machinery, and in the upper portion
the diorama is displayed. The scene is a
fgc sinlIs Of the tomb of Washington
Upon one side stands an American and
on the other French soldier of the pres
ent day, while at the side and upon the
recess beyond are painted allegOrical fig
which is quite complicated, is operated
by spring similar to those used in a
clock. When il is set in motion a minia-
ture cannon is fired, bell is tOlled, and
a curtain suspended across the face of
the recess of the cabinet rises slowly,
bringing 10 view the tomb and sentinel
soldiers. The latter stand at an ''Order."
In the course of a minute or so the tomb
opens, 4 fac smile of the father of his
country arises theTefrOm. Simultaneous
ly the so. ers face toward the tomb and
present arms, and Washington performs
the usual military salutation. Then
there descends from the clouds an Amer
lean eagle, holding in its talOns stan,
on one end Of which is an American nag
and upon the other the national ensign
OF France, carrying in its beak laurel
wreath with which it crowns Washing
ton. The machinery continues to re-
vOlve, and the scene is reversed and re-
peated as often as it is desired, each rep
resentatiOn requiring about three min
utes. The figures are made upon a scale
of about three inches to the foot; the
heads are carved by Mr.. Julius Merchers,
and the bodies are minutely correct and
properly propOrtiOned. The guns car
ried by the soldiers are in exact imitation
Of Springfield rifles, and the costume of
the soldiers is patterned after the uni
forms OF this country and France. The
dress of Washington is the same in color
and style as that worn by him at the bat
tie Of IrentOn.-DetrOit Tribune.

/ tell you, Dom Pedro is a splendid fel-

display is attempted in his special honor.

professions, and would rather spend an
hour in studying out a new machine, or
in company with literary or scientific
friend, than IN acting as principal figure
in any ceremony. II he could give his

Stanford journal: On last "Wednesday
morning a very exciting scene occurred
at the courthouse. The man Jno- Smith,
who killed Judge Carson, was brought
out 20 the courthouse to see whether or
not the case could be tried at this term
Four sons Of Mr.. Carson-John, James,
Joe and David-came into the ROOM
The court, on hearing that they were
armed, had the sheriff % search them,
but no pistols were found. Smith was
remanded TO jail, with guard Of six OF
eight men, and on reaching the court
yard, young Joe Carson sprang forward
with drawn navy revolver, and, plac-
ing it almost against the breast Of Smith,
attempted to fire, but the pistol snapped.
The other three sons were present with
weapons, but by the courage Of the guard
they were all four caught and disarmed,
and Smiths life saved, so far. The two
young men mostly engaged in the affair
were taken before the Judge, who NJ first
ordered them 10 give bond in $500 each to
keep the peace, but on reflection cOnclu-
ded 10 take their word of honor to do no
further violence TO the prisoner, and they
were thus set at liberty. The sympathy
of the entire community is with these
young men, and we heard numbers re-
gret that young Carson did not succeed
in ayenging the death of his aged father.

High rates on railroads and swindling
charges at Philadelphia hotels bid fair
to deter tens of thousands from investing
in the Centennial. A Washingtonian,
who has just been there, says that, at the
Centennial Hotel, ne was charged 81 for
dinner, lodging aud breakfast, and at a
second rate hotel he was subsequently,
charged 81 per day for a room alone. If
prices have already been advanced like
this, what may be expected when the
big show IS in fun operation and the city
is crowded with visitors? Those who
intend visiting Philadelphia during the
coming summer ought to be warned of
these extortiOns in advance, so that, if
they choose not to submit to them, they
can take along supplies Of eommissionary
stores aud camp Out.-Exehange.
