At recent celebration Of the colored
people in King George county, Va,
they refused to hear political speeches.
They declared that they We're for good
men to fill offices irrespective ofpolitics.
We are glad to see this sentiment pre-
yailing among the colored people, be-
cause it iusures the establishment of
the good feeling that existed between
whites and blacks prior to the days Of
carpet baggery.

The object Of Fridays battle was to
clear the Turks from a well-wooded po-
sition which fanked the Russians. pesi-
tons on the road. The fighting was
solely confined to musketry, and con-
tinued all day most desperately. The
Russians could make little impression
by front attack on the Turks.
The correspondent says: Occasion
ally at some point the Russians would
be hurled clear back out Of the wood al
together, could mark the Turks follow
ing them eagerly to its edge, lying down
while pouring out CALLING fire.
1.-THE troops who..were charged with
making this front attack merely succeed
ed in preventing the Turkish efforts to
work round to the Russian rear. 1t was
therefore decided at noon to deliver a
counter flank movement,
1.-The battal1ons executing this move
ment had to advance under trenlen-
dous fire from Turkish mountain guns.
The fighting on the Turkish front and
flank lasted for full hour, but at last
the Turks were seen Withdrawing their
battery of noun tain guns near the right
flank, which was sure sign that danger
menaced it if it stayed longer.
Their left battery followed their ex-
ample, which showed the Russians
gained the ridge on the Turkish left also.
There remained but the central peak
of the Turkish position. That carried,
the ridge would be ours, and our right
flank would be set free from the dam
gerous pressure on it,"

Showers.

The long expected, prayed for, and
welcome rain, put in an appearance
last evening, much to the delight of a
heated and dust afflicted community.
1t was preceded by a few pattering
drops, and about seven o'clock the
heavens opened, and tho rain descend
ed in torrents, continuing for several
hours. Shortly after its commence
ment, an alarm was raised that a flood
was coming down the big ditch, and
hundreds hurried to its banks. Quite
a volume found its way down the
canyon, but not in sufficient quantities
to do any damage. In fact the wafer
done a great deal OF good, sluicing out
the accumulation of filth and garbage
that fouled its bed and banks, and
sweetening the atmosphere in the i'm
mediate vicinity. The residents on
Spring and Buel streets kept q watch
full eye on the clouds and ditch, mem
cries of former floods and their dis
astrous effects, making them rather
as to cloud bursts. Forum
ately the rain was generally distribut-
ed, and has bad a wonderfully bracing
effect, in marked contrast with the hot,
sultry weather that has been the rule
for the past month.

THE LOVERS,

There is a little grassy spot in close
proximity to the old swimming baths
that is quite a resort for those who
take advantage of these salubrious
nights to enjoy a moonlight prom
enade. Through the green lawn q
stream trickles gently down, the water
tumbling over the stones and emitting
sweet Odors gathered in its descent
through the big ditch. The perfume
waited occasionally from the furnace
opposite makes a combination of
smells that is delightful to the senses
and accords with the whispers that
lovers who seek the place pour i'm each
others ears. That it exerts a peculiarly
soothing influence over the passions, we
are prepared to assert, from witnessing
its effect on a couple who sought its
romantic situation. When they started
from town their thoughts were bent on
war, and as they wendell their way to
the depot, nothing would satisfy either
the lady or the gentlem an but the utter
humiliation of a tradueer who had
dared to breathe a whisper against the
fair fame of the lovely creature. The
infatuated champion of woman's
wrongs-who, by the way, is a disciple
of Coke and Littleton, and deep
learned in legal Hereafter a success
full search for the slanderer, got weak
in the knees and failed to infiict the
promised punishment. The lady pro-
posed a ride back to town on the bus,
but our friend, after a persistent search
through the recesses of his many
pockets, failed to find the necessary
coin, and there was no resource left
but to foot it. Upon reaching the
lovely place spoken of above, a rest
was suggested, and the would. be cham
pion of woman's wrongs proceeded to
soothe the ruffied feelings of the lady,
who was sulking over the failure of
her mission and the i~mpecunious con-
dition of her attendant. The eloquent
tongue that had so often swayed audi
ences and carried conviction to hard
headed juries, did not fail in the Court
of Love. AS the burning words of
passion flowed from his lips, the lady
sighed and sighed again, and her ten-
der feelings conquering her resent
ment, finally forgave. Nay, more;
forgiving, she also listened to his suit
for one sweet kiss of reconciliation.
"Won by the charm of eloquence ire
sistible, and all in sweet disorder lost,
she blushed consent" Not even the
close approach of the express wagon
disturbed the tender lovers, and friend
Ross, who describes the cene, de-
that the osculatory performances
sounded out on the midnight air like
unto the popping of Multitude's whip,
and faint echoes of don't, John"

wagon. Twas all owing to the 70.
surroundings and the benef-
cent influence of Nature, and we are
pleased to know that the temporary
estrangement is a thing of the past,
and love reigns nee more triumph

Mining quits.

Commenting on the suit lately start
ed against the Grand Prize Mining
Company the San Francisco Stock Err
change remarks as follows or mining
litigation in general: "There never
was a claim or mine worth a last years
farthing that wasn't threatened by law
suits. There are blackmailers in every
mining camp, and it is a great pity that
the miners don't hang q few of them
for the benefit of the many. A law
suit, or a threatened law suit, impairs,
If it does not destroy confidence. Take
the Leeds Company for instance. This
company has produced since February
about Sl50,000 in bullion. 1t is pro-
ducing at the rate of 81 900 per day
with a ten-stamp mill. Has no liabili-
ties, but some $40 900 in the treasury,
and gradually accommodating with the
question of dividends only a matter of
a little time. No assessments proba.
BILE. Mine looking we'll. No e~xtrava-
gance i'm the management, and yet the
stock goes Hopping around at about
one dollar per share; simply because
a conclave of blackmailers deeming it
fair prey, have commenced a suit
against the company on an aband oned
location, and people won't touch it.
Operators won't look at tall because
they'll beat you out there where Nor
mon testimony is SO cheap We re-
peat: it would be a good idea to hang
some of these professional blackmail-
ing suit bringers, for the benefit of the
many. Every camp has seen them

We had a call the other evening
from John Furber, an old prospector
in the Osceols region. He has lived
in that section long enough to know
all about tho Il of the district,
and his opinion is that it has a good
deal of merit. He says there are four
or five placer claims which are YIELD
ing handsomely, but he does not think
this character of mining there will last
long. The gold is coarse and occurs
mainly in crevices in the bedrock. 1t
does not require much water to wash
the dirt. The miners simply strip the
beds of the shallow canyons and then
rock GU or pan out the gold contained
in the rotten bedrock. Water is hauled
in barrels for this purpose. Some of
the placer claims are yielding S20a day
to the man. There are in the district
at least six promising gold. bearing
quartz lodges. The little five-stamp
mill, erected to test the ore, had not
accomplished much when our infor-
mant left, owing to defects in the ma
chinery. The town of Osceola is
growing fast. 1t already numbers
stores, boarding-houses, saloons, lodg-
ing-houses, blacksmith shops, etc.
The population of the town and ada
cent country is estimated at about 300.
