There was left at this office yesterday
by John McClary, of claim No. Is, be-
low, on Whitewood, an axe or large
Ratchet of peculiar make. 1t was dug
from bedrock, nine feet beneath the
surface, and it is evident that it has
lain beneath the accommodating earth.
The axe or Ratchet is of French style,
about six inches in length by four
across the edge, with an eye two inches
in diameter; it is of malleable iron, and
coated with a crust of rust, black sand,
mineral deposits, through which many
gold colors are plainly observable.
Luz CoLSiuoion ehao tiie 'ia.Shoe, az
tached to which is still a portion of the
original handle, somewhat converted
into a mineral composite, showing mica
slate and gold colors, was modelled by
skilled labor, and from the number of
human bones there eXhumed, it is
evident that many years ago a battle
ensued between natives and explorers,
or perchance those ancient pioneers
who penetrated the wilds of the Hills,
persisted in the gulch, and since that
day the change wrought by busy nature,
has placed above them nine feet of
earth rich in gold deposits. lB. II.

AN old soldier has been passing some
homely criticisms upon one of Mrs.
Buffers battle pieces, He says the
mems faces look too clean after a days
firing. For our own part, the greatest
fault we have to find with the battle
pieces of our great artists is that in too
many cases the uniforms appear to have
been made with some vague intention
of fitting the soldiers who might wear
them. We don't know how it may be
in other countries, but in the United
States army a quartermaster who
would furnish an uniform that would
fit an infantry soldier any better than
it would a cow, would be instantly
dismissed from the service. This is a
strict law, and there has never been a
dismissal under it yet.

WE cAN only sit still while the Eng
lish press discuss the phenomenal out
growth of Western civilization, as
illustrated by the riots Of the past ten
days, but we really hope they have not
got their eyes so firmly fixed on Ameri-

riot at Grimsly. There was only a
member of Parliament elected, but the
mob wrecked the hotel where he was
staying, and the regulars had to be
called out from Sheffield. 1t has been
q long time since we have had to call
upon the troops to suppress a riot at the

Russia's Probable Change of Base.
London, August 7.-To-day's news
from the seat of wal contains several
noteworthy items of intelligence-mili-
tary and political. Suleiman Pasha's
success is now admitted and it is
stated that the Russians were pushed
by the Turkish forces s far as Hahn
baghay, and that the pass is already
occupied by n Turkish general. This
reverse will doubtless confirm Grand
Duke Nicholas in his intention to con-
vert the campaign from a political into
a more military one. 1t has been the
plan of the Russians hitherto to occupy
a large tract of land, and the greatest
number of towns possible in the ene-
my's country, 20 that when peace
might be concluded they might dictate
conditions on the basis Of accomplished
facts.

The Soldiers Acquitted of All Blame.

Reading, August THE coroner's
jury in the cas- of the recent riots have
rendered a verdict, to-day, acquitting
the soldiers composing the Fourth reg
iment from any blame for firing on the
rioters. Taking into consideration the
fearful peril in which they were placed,
if any blame attaches to the military.
it must be borne by Gen. Balton. who
ordered them to Reading. The respon-
sibility for the terrible tragedy is
directly attributable to those who COM
posed the lawless body who were insti-
eating riotous proceedings, and the mob
is primarily responsible for all subse-
uuent trouble.

Mr.. Farieon will finish new novel, and they

Clara Morris will pass the summer at her

gives as his reason for allowing his wife to play

when she remains long at home in quiet she
sinks into such state of utter depression, both
physically and mentally, that she cries almost
constantly, and is even worse than when kept
up by the excitement of the mimic life of the
stage, which is to her so real
