A Pencil Sketch of Pillsbury.

He was born poor boy. He lived un-
til he was thirty years old when be be-
came--a poor politician. In the years OF
his early childhood even, he gave eviden-
ces oil those remarkable characteristics of
mind which have distinguished him in his
political campaigns. While yet a creep
ing infant he amused all the old women OF
the neighborhood by endeavorng to make
kittens take milk from a saucer by their
tails instead oil their tongues. Later, he
insisted upon learning the alphabet with
the primer turned upside down. aud the
facility with which he spelled words OF
three or four letters backwards was the
wonderment OF all vino visited the young
prodigy.
At an early age he manifested great in
terest in horticulture. When beans came
up out OF the ground, he insisted that they
were all wrong. pulled them up, and put
the first tender leaves bearing the seed on
them, back into the ground leaving the
roots ont. He was youth of deep re6ec.
ton. The science of grating fruit trees
started within his youthful mind whole
train OF ingenious experiments. The task
iapicking up potatoes after the diggers
was irksome to him, and the idea occurred
to him that the tubers might grow on trees
as well as apples. He accordingly cut
the eyes from dozen large potatoes and
inserted them in the bark of the limbs of
large and thrifty apple Tree. He also
reversed the experiment by inserting the
twigs of apple limbs in the stalks of pota-
toes. He was fond OF dried apples and
could never see the sense OF waiting years
for tree TO grow 50 as to get apples to
pare and dry. He insisted that as pota-
toes could be produced from the ground
by planting, so also could dried apples.
his indulgent father gave him a six
teenth of an acre for the experiment when
he was in the twelfth year OF his age
The result OF his experiment is not re.
corded In any of the agricultural reports.
Time would fail Us to note all those lit
tie incidents of the boyhood. OF the sub

of his future greatness and genius--such

Judge Durant, a prominent practitioner
before the United States Supreme Court,
is engaged in drafting bill to give the
Court OF Claims much larger jurisdiction
over all claims which have been rejected
by the Southern Claims Commission, on
the ground either of disloyaIty or fraud.
This measure will undoubtedly receive the
very general support of Southern men,
bers, who intend to open the doors of the
Treasury to the payments Of Southern
Claims in every manner possible.

Wade HAMPTON, in the course of his
travels in the West, has taken occasion TO
make statements derogatory TO Governor
Chamberlain. Thereupon, the New York
Times takes occasion to speak as follows :
1T does not become Gen. Hampton to go
about the country throwing mud at Gov
Chamberlain. All things considered, the
leader of the shotgun legion of South
Carolina is hardly proper person to bring
charges against any man. His own re-
cord is not one of which respectable peo-
pie would be proud. 1t has been conclu-
sively proved, for instance, that this model
gentleman, this second Bayard, failed Tor
sl,0S5.0Sl, and that his total assets
amounted, at high valuation, to only
Sl42,443. Trading on false credit, he
borrowed money right and left, mortgaged
for large sums property that was already
mortgaged for twice or three times what
it was worth, and victimized capitalists
manufacturers, traders, factors, and all
sorts Of people who were foolish enough
to believe his promises. This, in brief is
the record of the man whose grandfather
was the head and front OF the infamous
"Yazoo Fraud He is, indeed, a worthy
scion of an ancient house, but he is hardly
the man who should attempt to backen
the character of political opponent"

We reproduce Mr.. Emery's pencilling
of the portrait of Pllsbury. but with a
feeling OF sad disappointment that. with
the abundant material at hand, the artist
has failed to do himself credit or his sub
iect justice. Evidently Emery is not a
first class artist. Instead of producing
picture that would be easily recognized
as belonging in the rogues' gallery, he
has brought out only the faintest shadow
"a sort of phantom picture. 1t was not
Pllsbury's experience as a boy construct
ing mouse traps, that the public were ex-
pecting. bat Pillsbury as the sly and I'M
principled demagogue, the maligner OF
private character, the sympathzer with
treason the constructor of democratic plat
forms, and the leader of the democratic
forces. There are too many (milk and)
water lines in the picture, and not repre-
tation, or even a slip of the pencil that

FRANCE.

The crisis in France is presented in quite
an understandable form by correspondent
of the London press who telegraphs as follows
The left has proclaimed that they will annul
| the elections obtained by permitting candi-
didates to post on walls addresses printed on
white paper, which, according to law, should
only be used for placards emanating directly
from the government. All the government
candidates used white paper for their placards.
The Left hereby intend to lay down a princi-
pie binding on themselves, as well as on their
opponents, and to infict solemn condemnation
OH official candidacy backed by unblushing
coercion. They also announce that if the
cabinet is not formed from the majority they
will pass at the first sitting, vote of want of
confidence, and, after insuring the payment
of the interest on the national debt and sup
plies for the army, public works and purely
administrative purposes, they will refuse all
votes necessary for the working ofthe cabinet,
such as secret service money and the salaries
Of functionaries, and everything, in short,
which can oblige the cabinet, acting within
the law, to abandon the struggle. The con-
dtions on which the members of the Left,
who might be summoned would agree to
form a cabinet, are also spoken of, but it is
too soon for any body at present to formulate
them authoritatively The great question is
what will the ministry, and above all, Marshal
Mae Mahon do. The rumor relative to their
intentions vary continually. The latest are
to the effect that the ministers are inclined to
resign, but it is added that The marshal's
private counselors hold that the marshal can
not yield to the dictates of the Democrats
without breaking his pledges, but that he
will accept Che Left Center if it sewers itself
from the rest of the Left; but that he cannot
advance toward the Left Center while it re-
tains the present alliance, as such step
would force him finally to accept radical
ministry. 1t is not surprising, considering
the dangerous counsel offered to the marshal,
that vague rumors of a coup 'etat have been
in circulation for two days. Business has
slackened, and the situation, instead of i'm
proving, seems to be becoming more gloomy
There are evidences that there are men who
have an interest to driving the marshal to
extreme resolutions" The correspondent
says, in conclusion, that he believes the
however, incapable of prolonging
the agitation, which, if much practiced,
would be fatal The bulk of the nation de-
sires settlement by an understanding with

TUSCARORA.

Major John Dennis writes to the Eureka
Sentinel from Tuscarora and describes that
busting new mining camp as follows: Is sit
uated in the foothills of the mountains on the
north side of Independence valley, few miles
from it's head, and is about two and half
miles northeasterly from the old town of
Tuscarora, on Mccain Creek, which had its
inception in placer gold mining excitement Of
| 1866, and known at that time as the Goose
Creek" excitement, owing to a mistaken idea
regarding the geography of the country, the
stream of that name being i'll a range of
mountains a hundred miles north of here.
The town-the new one-is built on rolling
plateau (pardon the criticism), kind of swale
in the mountain range. 1t commands a fine
view of the valley, and is discernable as you
approach it on the Elko road from the foot of
the opposite mountain. 1t presents the ap-
pearance noticeable in all new mining towns in
districts about which an excitement like this
is raging. The condition of the streets, the
hastily constructed buildings of canvass and
lumber; lots inclosed with temporary fencing;
the influx of strangers on stages, and every
conceivable mode of private conveyance, in
Guiding goodly proportion of passengers by
Foot & Walkers line; the sound of the car
penter's hammer, the crowds in the saloons,
and the hurry and scurry, form a scene
familiar to all who were in Austin, White
Pine, Phoebe, or Eureka during the excite
ment attendant upon the early days and flush
times of those now settled sedate and per-
manent burgs. There are however, number
of substantial brick and stone buildings already
erected and occupied, and also some frame
structures that would not discredit the oldest
town in the State and should the mining de-
velopments continue as favorable as they COM
menced and have thus far progressed, in an
other year there will doubtless be built here
as substantial mining town as any on the
coast. The location is favorable But little
grading is required, and the clay which is
abundant in the suburbs, makes the best
quality of bricks.

The Piutes who discovered John China.
mans -four cache at Winnemucca seem to have
struck the groupings of perfect mine OF
stolen goods. Says the Silver State of We'd
nesday evening: The search in the sand hill
in the rear of Chinatown resulted in the find
ing of ten sacks of -four. 1t is believed that
this is only a small part of the articles buried
in the sand by the Chinese, and some persons
talk of locating the hill and prospecting it
thoroughly. The search which resulted in
the finding of the -four, was conducted by
Piutes, who seemed to be guided more by
instinct than reason. A search warrant was
procured by Deputy Sheriff Burnes, and he
went through several of the houses in the
vicinity of the sand bank, and
found lot of stolen articles Clothing and
furs stolen from J. B. Gramme and Dave
Melarkey last winter were discovered, and
regular bonanza of hardware, consisting of
carving and table knives and forks, scissors,
ETC., ETC., was unearthed. Among the articles
which are now in possession of the Sheriff is
switch key, stamped G. P. R. R., and num-
bered 632 The Chinese are known to be the
most accomplished and adroit thieves in ex-
istence, and, as the cement on which their
town is built is labyrinth of tunnels and |
secret passages, it is very difficult foc the Off
GERS to find stolen article. |

Too Coon for this wicked world is Ruther-
ford l., called the Goody-goody. By the last
account of him-New York, October 18-we
are informed as follows: The Herald asserts
that Hayes is without party in either House,
and he desires to have it So All expressions
made in conversation by members of the ad-
ministration confirm this startling view, and
make it appear that the Presidents theory is
that he shall execute the law, but that he will
absolutely refrain from the least attempt to
influence the action of Congress or of any
member of it on any subject, and that he will
make appointments and removals where the
good of the public service requires it, but
will leave the question of confirmation abso-
lutely to the Senate, without the slightest at
tempt to influence anybody's conclusion

A FLOUR MINE.

The Silver State of Tuesday tells the fol
lowing: This morning some Piutes, stroll
ing through the sand hills in the rear of Chi
natown, discovered a peculiar track, which
they followed to place where their keen eyes
noticed the sand had been recently disturbed.
They commenced digging with their hands,
and shortly found what they at first supposed
to be the body of a person. Continuing to
dig they unearthed sack of -four, then an
other and another until four 5O-pound sacks
were taken from the hole. Deputy Sheriff
Burns was notified of the find and he encor-
aged the Piutes to continue the search at
various places in the hill. Shovels were pro-
cured and in half an hour 500 pounds of -four
was dug out The sacks bore the brand of
"Winnemucca Mills, and as the pile of -four
began to accumulate, large crowd of whites
and Indians assembled on the ground, but
strange to say, although the bonanza was
within a few yards of Chinatown, not
Celestial put in an appearance. MIR. Kemler,
proprietor of the Winnemucca FIGURING Mills,
was notified of the discovery, and, by examin-
ing the piles of flour in his mill, he ascertained
that forty sacks had been stolen recently As
we write the search is progressing, and prob
ably the greater part of the stolen -four will
be recovered The Cinnamon employed at
the mills are supposed to be the thieves, and
they have been supplying all Chinatown with
the best brands of -four.
