are very good. especially tho advice 10

that has appeared from time to time 10
mere twaddle. calculated to do moro harm
than good. For instance, we SEQ blazing

necessary work that has been done. ]

EDWIN Willis JONES.
a rienesr In Half . Dessn states
and Territories.

The San Francisco Poet Of yesterday
publishes the following interesting article
relative TO the death OF Ed. Jones
Edwin Willis Jones, = younger brother
Of Senator Jones Of Nevada. died at Los
Angeles Sunday. August 9th. Though
never occupying . position that brought
him conspicuously under public notice.
he was . man Of marked character and
abilities. and . thorough typo Of the hardy
and adventurous manhood that has de-
veloped the Of the western hall
Of our continent. His judgment was
sound. his information extensive.
and his mind Of an original and
philosophical cast. He wss witty In the
incest sense Of the term. and possessed q
keen faculty Of humor. which had been
sxubersntly developed under the favorable
conditions Of frontier life. Though kind
ness and geniality were the prsdominAting
qualities of his nature, lac Was bitterly In
tolerant OF every species Of pretense and
hypocrisy. and unquslifleily outspoken In
denunciation Of unfairness. dishonesty and
wrong. There was . heartiness In his likes
and dislikcs which rendered bis friendship
warm and his enmity irreconcilable. A
pioneer in half . dozen States and Terrific
ries. few men have had awider range Of
acquaintanceship. and fewer still will re-
csive ~ universally favorable . verdict -
will be accorded TO the memory OF Ed.
Jones. lie was born at Cleveland. Ohio,
In the year lS32. and was the seventh
Of family Of thirteen children.
In early life he and his brother, y. l..
Jones, at present Superintendent Of the
Crown Point mine. emigrated TO Wiscon-
sin. and subsequently, removed TO Mime
sofa. After Q short residence there they
voyaged In . skiff 100 miles down tho Mis-
sissippi to Kansas. where they lived dur
ing all the border troubles, In intimate
association with John Brown and other
leaders In tho partisan warfare. At the
nrst intelligence Of gold discoveries In
Colorado they started for Pilot's Peak.
aud located themselves at Orc City. In
California 0ulch. where deceased was
chosen Sheriff and Recorder by the miners.
In 1862 they went 10 Idaho, and mined
near Idaho City until 1870, when they
removed 70 Gold Hill. Now, where deceased
conducted the correspondence required
by Senator Jones' extensive mining opera
tons and exercised . general supervisory
care over his interests. About . year ago
failing health compelled him to rslinquish
his occupation. aud he came to this city.
where physicians pronounced his ailment
TO DO Bright's disease Of the kidneys. Six
weeks ago IL was deemed advisable TO try
the effects Of . change Of climate. and he
went TO Fort Yuma. The change was NOT
beneficial. and II was thought best TO re-
move him TO the seaside. Accordingly he
started for santa Monica. but died At Los
Angeles on his way thither.

4 correspondent of the Baltimore
Sia1, writing from Old Orchard Beach,
Maine, under date Of July 25th, thus
shows up the happy effects of the an
ti-liquor legislation in that State -
"One remarkable thing In this
State is that no ardent spirits or malt
liquors are permitted to be sold since
the twelfth day of last March. 1t
will be an important and interesting
fact to publish to our numerous tenn
perance readers and refOrers that in
the city of Portland, during our visit
there, not single saloon was seen
where anything intoxicating was
sold in that city of fifty thousand
people, nor was there any one seen
under the influence of liquor or even
with the smell of liquor on his breath.
And this has been true among all the
crowds that have attended this camp
meeting during the whole week.
Your correspondent is informed that
not even the large hotels of Portland
are allowed to keep drop of the ar
dent in their establishments. Truly
Maine is temperate State, and its
citizens are sober people. Hop beer,
temperance drink, is the strongest
sold"
