LOST MINEg.

A number of stories Of "ost digginRs"
have recently been told. The Shasta
Courier of late dates has contained a
number Of items regarding the abandon

times. never tie found again. Toe

two men in 1851, which has never been
recognized since. Itgappears from the
Journals account that the men, taking
with them mute. carrying a rocker,
cooking and mining utensils, and pro-
visions, started for the Salmon River
diggiu ~ from the lower part Of the State,
and leaving the usually Travelled route
struck across the mountains. Bling
delayed by an accident to the mule they
encamped at certain place, minutely
described, and prospecting the gravel
found such good results that they gave
up their journey for the time, built u
brush corral and stayed there month.
At the end of that time being out OF pro-
visions they left their camp, and on ar
irving at Shasta each found letters re-
quiring his presence elsewhere. The
secret was kept unit the death of one Of
the men. when the other gave directions
for finding the spot The brush corral
is supposed to have been encountered
once again by man who had lost his
way in the mountains. but fires in the
same year probably swept it away, thus
destroying the chief land marx.
Another story is of discovery made
between Soda Springs, on the Sacra'
5rip
camp. A party of four on their way
over the mountains, came across goot
prospects, and one of the party was
tempted to remain short time while
the others pushed on. Indians were

The month of Ramazan is kept by all
good mussulmans as period of the
strictest fast during the day, from SUM-
rise to sunset; they abstain not only from
food of any kind whatever, but even
from liquids, taking no drop of water
during the time; they suspend also the
enjoyment of tobacco. which is scarcely
less indispensable to their daily life. As
compensation for these rigorous pri-
vations, the night is partly devoted to
feasting. For the rich and idle, who
pass in sleep the greater part OF their
days of penitence. the suffering is con-
siderably lessened; but for the poorer
classes, for workmen and servants, the

ANOTHER HOMICIDE A correspondent
writing under date of the 7th instant,
gives the following particulars of a
tragedy which occurred at Halleck sta
ton in this county on that day:
About 1890 o'clock this afternoon. q
colored man named Mills drew knife
on Mrs. Deering and man named
Webb. Webb struck the negro in the
mouth, and with the assistance OF Mr..
Deering took the knife from him. Deer
ing then paid the negro what he was
owing him. and ordered him to leave the
house and not return. The negro went
to f. E. Hughes house and ATTEMPTED to
| obtain possession of q shot gun, but was
prevented by James Finerty. The negro
left Hughes and went to Griffin 8
saloon. Webb and Fnerty soon follow
ed him there. Webb struck the negro
two or three times, Griffin and Finerty
doing all they could to prevent the strik-
ing. and Finerty finally succeeded in
getting Webb to stop. The negro re-
turned to Hughes, and obtained the
shot gun. He then returned to Griffin's.
and as Finerty opened the front door to
come out Of the saloon shot him dead.
The negro started to run toward the
river, but when Griffin came out Of the
back door of the house shot the second
time. As the negro was on bis way to
Griffin's, A. j. Hatch told him to stop,
but he replied. You attend to your own
business, or I will give you dose. y
Sheriff Seitz and party are after the
negro. and should he be caught viii
probably fare pretty rough, as young
Finerty was highly esteemed by all who
knew him, and if any Of the citizens
other than Mr.. Seitz. should capture
him his execution would not cost th'
county anything. L Tuscsrora Review.

a WORD FOR THE NEGRO.

Our correspondence from the South has given
a disheartening Wow of the condition of the
negro, especially OF the field hand he Is a bar
barian IN all but namr and rs willing to re-
main barbarian as the pig is to lie IN hls
slough. 1t is quite natural that any energetic
Northcrncr, fresh from the torpid, ill-smelllng
naighborh00d of the Georgia reelmen, should
despair of the future of the cOlOred man, and
be almost tempted to rank him among the
beasts that perish and that ought to perish.
But surely we should look little deeper.
The question is too momentous a one to accept
on its first issues. If the negroes are worse off
now than in state of slavery and are
to remain worse off, Emancipation was
mistake Our correspondent scarcely stated
the evils of their present condition strongly
enough In many localities insufficient cloth
ing and food have brought on them diseases
almost unknown in the days of servitude.
The mortality among them from lung diseases,
exposure and fever is treble that of twenty
years ago. The slave, beng property, was, as a
rule sufficiently clothed, fed and cared for by
his master TO project his commercial value, if
for no more humane reason, but when set free
he was no more fit to care for himself than IA
child, or than Caspar lIduSer. The question is,
Can he be made capable of caringl
Our correspondent has given the discourage
ing side of the question III a plain statement
of facts, but on the part of the negro it is to
be said tnat lie is beyond all other races iml-
tative, and has been paying all his life at the
old game Of fOliowmy my-Inastcr. He is not
whit azier or more contcntcd to stagnatc in
dirt and discomfort than the poor wnte Of tie
south. We all know that even in the edu-
Gated classes of the Gulf States, before and
after the war, money WAS spent on the stable
jewclry, dress and hospitality rather than in
the more solid comforts of @c-huili aud dee
Grated houses. The majority OF Carolina farm
ers, to-day, 1--we in houses which would lie
shamcd by a Pennsylvania barn. We need not
wonder that the field hand spends his wages
for an extra hit Of fincIy o. bacon, and does
not use bis hall i-holidays TO make his dwell
ing less like piS-sty. He has proved
himself as quick to initiate a better
example as soon as it has been set him.
In both Southern and Northern towns the
blacks are as well lodged, clothed and fed,
aud are on the whole as industrious a. the
class of whites whose opportunities for educa-
ton and Improvement have been parallel with
| Their own, and in both sections they are more
eager for improvement and education than this
parallel class. The colored teachers sent out

balance the loss. Moreover, even a. to the bor-
rover, if he has honorably and wisely en-
ployed the money borrowed. the amount due
to him will be in like manner increased by
the appreciation in the purchasing power OF
the dollar. The loss will fall first, upon banks
and other institutions which have not been hon
oraby and wisely managed, and second, upon
those who have not judiciousy or successfully

cry RIDEhUS DECORATION.

Considerable comment has been made IN the
newspapers upon the fact that at the Duke Oh
Wellinetons dinner III London, at which zen.
Grant was present, Gen. Baieau wore the IN
sigma of the Society of the Cinclnnatl anG
the criticism of this harmless display mas
been somewhat ill-natured We take 1t for
granted that Gen. Badeau is authorized by
lineal relation to wear the decoration, and
that he has been regularly elected according
to the usages of the Society. 1t has not been
uncommon for members of the Association
to exhibit its badge upon public OCCASIONS
nor does there seem to be any more
harm in it than in wearing the watch
kew of the "Phi Beta Kappa" or the
broast-pin of the "Alpha Delta Phi" This
badge, so far from being mark of nobility
is significant of a love for republican instltu-
tions and of reverence for the founders of the
American Republic. Gustavus III, King of
Sweden, forbade officers i'll the French Amy,
who were his subjects, to wear the badge, be-
cause he thought that the institution had a
republican tendency. Gen. Badeau. therefore,
if he displayed the rband and badge in Lon
don merely made demonstration of his re-
gard for republican principles in foreign
land which is under monarchy.
Perhaps the merrment which is said to have
been occasioned by Gen. Badeau's display of
ga society's collar would have been less on
either side of the water if it had been re-
membered that the same "collar was worn
by Washington-the first President of the Gin
cinnati-by La Fayette, by the most illustriOus
of the Revolutionary soldiers, and, in later
times, by Generals Jackson, Scott, Taylor,
Worth and Wool, and by Bainbrldge, Stewart,
Hull and Perry, among naval Commanders
There is nothing at least to be ashamed of in
tbe simple riband and the eagle and Gen.
Badeau might as well be censured for raising,
,,pon proper occasions, the American flag.
The only doubt which occurs to us regard
ing this by 10 means important matter is,
whether Gen. Badeau, by wearing the badge
should have reminded Englishmen of that al
lance between France and the United States
which the blue and red ribands commemorate
Probably, however, very few of the Duke OF
Welhngton's guests understood the significance
of these colors; while the old British hatred
of France seems to have become little more
than a tradition. The Society of the Gin
cinnati has been so entirely unObtruslve that
a great many Americans hardly know Of its
existence. 1t may do them no harm to be
reminded of the noble men who founded
it. and who were as little likely as
the most scrupulOus Democrat of mod
ern times to care for mere vulgar display.
The doubts which the establishment or the
Association created in the minds of Adams,
jefferson and Jay, have long since been dissi-
pated, and 1t has long been acknowledged
that the Society of the Cincinnati, as a relic of
the early days of the Republic, has a moral
value which .justifes its perpetuation.
