A rich discovery Of dcucuments that
that throw considerable light on the
biatory Of California from the founde-
ton of the Missions until the sur
render of the country to America. was
recently made by Major Jose Il. Pico,
Of this city. Among the effects left by
his father, Andres Pic0, one of the sign
ers of the treaty ceding the territory in
1847, were two trunks that have long
been neglected These werr opened
abont two months ago and found 10 be
packed with family papers. books and
articles OF value as souvenirs. The
grandfather of Major Pico was of the
party that came overland from Mexico to
found the Missions, and his uncle, Pho
Pico, was Mexican Governor Of the Ter
tory. A might be anticipated, there
fore, 40 srga mass OF documents
treasured up by IA family that has played
so conspicuous part in the history of
the coast, is found to be replete with in
terest. They give accurate and copiops
information on the management of the
Missions. among them beiog copies OF
the reports thAt were transmitted to
Spain, and they afford the materials for
thorough insight into the dreamy pas
toral life led by the early settlers. Be-
sides family papers, there is much cor
rgspondence with notables o.! the Span.

vivify the narrative of the surrender to
America. Scraps Of historic lore con-
nected with Spain have also been un-
earthed, and there is budget of official
Communications extending from l777 to
1872. One of the documents shows that
at early period of the strife Andres Pico
foresaw the outcome of the situation,
and advised Acknowledgement of Ameri-
can rule, and that in 1850, when prepar-
atoms were on foot for insurrection, he
made presentations dissauding the
ringleaders from the attempt. A large
portion of the papers have been place d
IN the hands of Hubert Bancroft, as ma.

THE TURKISH CAVLRY IN ARSE-
MA.

The Russian army In Armenia had
force of 10 600 regular cavalry covering
its advance. Mukhtar Pasha, during
lto first month OF his camnaign. could
scarcely conduct a respectable recon-
noissance to ascertain where the enemy
was lnassed, for he had no cavalry.
Early in June regiment OF mounted
Circassiaus Numbering 500, and 30 kurd
horsemen. under the command OF Moussa
Pashs, were sent from ErZeroum to the
Sauehanlu. A correspondent of the
London News describes their entry into
camp. They came filing two deep in
long column over the hillside, each OF
the i've sQuadrons having crimson or
parti-colored red-anG white banner at its
head, blazoned with white crescent
and star. The men wore the long Cir
cassian tunic, reaching to the middle
calf and confined at the waist by an en-
broidered belt, supporting the uauai
guardless cimeter and long dagger With
primitive leaf-shaped blade. besides the
accustomed supply OF highly-ornament-
ed pistols, pipes and silyer-mounted
boxes. The tuuics were mostly black or
dark olive. though there was IL sprink-
ling OF bright saffron, green and Grim

princes They wore the usual Circas-
sian bead dress, y red or white tall cap
surrounded by mop.liks covering OF
black or brown Astrachan fur, conceal
ing all but the top OF the inner cap.
Both sides of the breast are covered by
double horizontal rows of wooden or
silver cartridge tubes. according to the

stralt-stocked, silver. rnged, tiint.lock of
his native mountains Next came the
Kurds, still more picturesque than the
Circassans, with their hinge, bright
tented turbans, and crimson and blue
lowing garments showing through light
muslin and silk mautles. Extravagantly
wide trowsers and red leather boots
turned up at the toe completed the at
tire. The armament consisted of the
Winchester rifle, curved cine eter, anC
long red-like lance, which they shool
and braudished till it quivered like
vibrating string. These troops wert
subsequently defeated by the Russians
between the mountains and Kars.

Santa Ross Democrat In the County
Court, the other day, a jury went out
late in the afternoon iu case involving
only twenty dollars. About bed time
they told the Sheriff they bad agreed,
whereupon the Court was opened in due
form, the Judge upon the bench, the
Sheriff at his place, and the well spparel-
led Deputy Clerk with bis good-natured
face turned expectantly toward the jury.
They filed in with due solemnity. The
Foreman rose to his feet and announced
the verdict in the following terms: 1--WE,
the jury, have agreed TO disagree. The
Sheriff looked quickly toward the panel
and all omnious sternnes5 settled on his
face. What's that?" said the Court.
The verdict was repeated. The Sheriff, -
said the Court, will return the jury to
their room and keep them there until
the usual hour OF opening Court to-mor-
row morning" Slowly and sadly they
filed back to their bedless chamber
to pass the night as best they could,
sadder but wiser men. Next morning
they had not agreed, but they did not
say they bad agreed to disagree,

A News reporter called upon q. l..

question by the reporter. Mr.. Weller
said that he expected to make system

of the Ophir and Mexican mines. and
especially with regard to the matter of
Mrs Cooper aud her alleged influence
in the hiring and discharging of men.
An interview between Mr.. Weller and a
committee Of the Virginia miners Union
has been arranged, at which time they
will be invited to make 8 full statement
OF such facts as they may be in posses
sion Of touching this affair. Mr.. Weller
says he is entirely unprejudiced, and
that his only object is to secure, rs near
as may be, the truth concerning these
crooked transactions, il any have oc-
subserve are those Of the companies
and the stockholders, and that the ex-
animation shall be searching, no matter
whose toes are trodden upon. The men
themselves are to be questioned, and
Captain Curtis will be confronted with
his accusers If witness shall give
testimony of sufficient importance he
will be sworn, and his deposition legally
attested. Mr.. Weller does not think 1t
necessary that the examination shall bs

therefore be excluded. The mission OF
Mr.. Weller is to collect facts and figures
which are to be laid before the Board OF

he found there was no gold inside of
them; it was all on the surface. A close
inspection of some Of the bits Of gold
dug out of small cavities in the quartz
showed them to be composed OF gold
leaf, and so light and fluffy that they
could be blown away. The expert came

New York Herald: Governor Seymour
never showed better appreciation of
the principles Of true greatness than
when in recent interview of his life he
Inquired what twenty acts of his life he
would prefer to wipe ont had he tho

business mistakes. his foolish acts or

concluded thot he could not spare
these-the things by which he had

could better afford to expunge, instead
OF his mistakes, his triumphs' He could
not afford to miss the tonic modification,
the refinement of sorrow; he needed
them every one. All bis acquaintance
with the eminent men of our country he
said had taught him that the key TO

OTER-SENSITITENESS

A great deal of discomfort arises fro n
over-sensitiveness about what PEG
pie may say of you or your actions.
This requires to be blunted. Consider
whether anything you do will have much
connection with what they will say.
And, besides, it may be doubted whether
they will say anything at all about
you. Many unhappy persons seem to
imagine that they are always in an am
phitheater with the assembled world as
spectators whereas all the while they
are playing to empty seats. They fancy,
too, they form the particular theme of
every passer-by. II, however, they must
listen to imaginary conversation about
themselves, they might, at any rate, defy
the ProverP, and insist upon hearing
themselves we'll spoken of.
