THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD.

Now the gallant beaux must car
ry the girls's>parasols and sun um-
brc!las for them. If this thing
keeps on they'll have to lie down
in mudholes for the girls to step
upon. All right! The more you
do for them the more they'll ask
you to do. Of course, they know
that most young men amt fit for
anything else but to carry their
parasols, bundles, treat 'em to ice
cream and take 'em to shows to flirt
with other fellows. But when it
comes down to business, and they
are tired Of 'fooling with boys
they sell out to some old rooster
after a three weeks courtsEip, and
settle down to spending all the
money he's fool enough to give 'em
and that he may leave 'em when
he's gone. Love and matrimony are
PLAYED out in this and many other
cities. Love will do for substance
to waste on mutton-headed young
men, but when q girl wants to outs
live and out-dress some other girls,
she hangs out her sign, the buyer
comes along, the trade is made and
she pockets his money. When that
is all gone, she runs home to her
nanny and he runs-to seed. "
Such is life. wills. Hayes.

POOR LUCILLE.
BY VILLET'TE.
CONTINUED from last issue.)

The grooin's home was in another por-
ton of the State, and he was expected
on the weekly packet that morning i'll
company with his mother and sister
whom Lucille had never met. Immediate
ly after the ceremony they were to leave,
on Il descending boat for Il bridal tour.
Lena, full of life and mirth stationed
herself, spy-glass i'll hand, at the Win
dow overlooking the river, to watch Tor
the expected boat, and many a false bull
letin did tho mcrry-hcarted little maid
send forth, startling lis out OF all COM
posllre. At last Lucille was dressed, and
very lovely she looked; when 1 recall
that morning and see i'll fancy again the
sweet bride, and contrast her with the
Lucille we no,U see, l find myself Won

DEGREES of the Almighty. AS l said the
day was in April and we had adorned the
snowy, airy bridal-dress with the blossom
ofthe orange which was then i'll bloom, u
coyonal ofthe same fragrant flowers rest
ed on her silllcn braids, like the halo that
crowns the Madonna, and the folds of the
nossamer vail enveloped her delicate
form: for awhile she seemed to have for
gotten the inauspicious circumstances at
tending it's arrival. We were regarding
in admiration her beauty enhanced by
the mystic dress, when Lena from her
perch on the windowlodGe, crlod out ::

steamed up to the landing, and with our
lormnettes could easily discern the party
ofladies and gentlemen waiting on deck to
step ashore the moment she should land
Swiftly the Silver Star steamed up; the
steam escaping in short, shrill putfs, and
floating in fantastic wreaths above the
placid waters. l cannot bear to tell you
the conclusion of my story, the shading
of that bright and lovely morn my mind

is Il most singular circumstance, the Incl

have impressed itself indelibly upon her

cousin, wiping away her tears, which
the recital of her sad tale had called
forth, "God grant that in better land,
the land of peace above, the chain of love
and hope which was so rudely parted on
earth may be linked anew" "Amen"
was my hearty response.

THE CALCASIEU HARDSHIP.
IN. o. Picdyune- ]

There does not seem to be any
near prospect of a settlement OF
the Calcasieu log imbroglio. The
laws delay" is illustrating itself
among the poor settlers and caus-
ing untold and indefinite hard
ships. From reports we are inclin,
ed to believe that the United States
Commissioner specially charged
with the temporary adjudication of
affairs is giving satisfaction locally,
as also the appraisers appointed Ivy
the United States courts; but a
deputy, named Gainey is causing
considerable annoyance aid unne-
cessary delay among the litigants.
The present prosecution, Or: more
properly, persecution, is entailing
great miseries upon the majority of
the people in Calcasieu. The law,
strangely enough, empowers set
tier to cut only such timber as may
be necessary to the erection OF his
homestead abode. 1t is obvious
that in order to make this home
stead capable Of atfording susten-
ance the land must be cleared, and
where settler is prevented from
thus clearing his lands, there
are 20 means of arriving at the sup
port necessary to the maintenance
Of himself and family. He is mere~
ly privileged to build his little cab
in and possibly some adjoining ten
ements, and the act does not allow
him to cultivate more than the lit
tic ground thus cleared. 1t is OBJ
vious that such an act would be
construed widely, and that the
settlers would consider themselves
entitled to cut more timber, that
they might have an opportunity of
cultivat:ng soil sufficient to sup
port themselves and their families.
It has been a favorite scheme of
successive Administrations to open
up such a war against the timber
men, and after imposing much
hardship, to let the subject lie fat
and undetermined. The present
war is within the programme, but
it is operating seriously to the de-
trimen: of poor settlers and grim
starvation stares many in the face
This is aggravated by marshals OF
the type of Gainey, and it is alike
to the interest of the GoverDmen,
and Of the logmen that the matte
should be brought to a speedy set
tlement.

HAYES AS A HYPOCR CRITE-CONVICT
ED UNDER HIS OWN HAND.

as If that quality were
recommendation of the ink. There
are instances in which it would be
much better for tho reputation of
persons who write their names, if
the ink in which the names were
written would fade out and leave
the paper as white as it was before.
Unfortunately, in such cases, while
the ink does not fade, the reputa-
ton of the writer fades ou: forever,
aud cannot be restored.
Let US come to the facts on which
we have to comment this morning:
Zachariah Chandler, formerly a
United States Senator from Mich
igan, and, after having been reject
ed by that State as a candidate for
reelection, Secretary of the Inte-
rior in 1864 swearing and drinks
ing bu; patriotic citizeu-was also,
while occupying seat in the Cab
met, Chairman of the National
Republican Committee. Instead of
attending to his official duties at
Washington, he spent his time at
the headquarters Of the committee,
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel in this
city.
The Presidential election was
pending. Mr.. Chandler COLLECTED
money by assessment on Federal
officeholders. r. B. Hayes was
the Republican candidate for Pres
ident. Mr.. Chandler sent this
money, so collected by the assess
ment of Federal officeholders, to
r. 3. Hayes, the Republican can
didate for Precedent. in Ohio; and
r. B. Ha7es, the Republican can>
didate for President, expended this
money and paid it out to promote
his own election.
Along with a purchased, false,
and forged return by the Louisiana
Board, this was the means by which
our Civil Service Reform Presi-
dent made his way into the White
House
What is our proof? That tho
money was largely collected by
assessment of Federal officeholders
is universally known, and has been
proved by sworn testimony before
a Congressional committee.
That Z. B. Hayes received this
money from Mr.. Chandler: and
drew it out through a bank in
Ohio, appears by the fac~similes of
two of the certificates of deposit
and the endorsements thereon,
which we this day publish. The
Second National Bank, where the
money was deposited, is in the cor
ner Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where
Mr.. Chandler's committee had their
headquarters.
OF course Mr.. Hayes paid this
money out for election Spurposcs.
If he did not do that, he embezzled
it; and nobody suspects him of en-
bezz.ement. If ne paid it out for
election purposes, he paid it.out to
promote either his own election or
that Of Mr.. Tilden. Does any one
imagine he paid it out to promote
Mr.. Tilden's election?
| Under his own hand the great
civil service relorner stands con.
victed of hypocrisy. The halo of
honesty popularity supposed to sur
round his head has all disappeared,
and like the unveiled prophet of
the poet, he stands forth revealed in
the deformity which belongs to
false pretensions.

Mining Notes.

From Walnut Grove district we
learn that the Heffler mill is rap
idly approaching completion, and
wilt be ready to run in about two
weeks. Some little delay was Oc-
casiOned by mistake made in
some of the machinery, necesi-
tating sending to California, but
this has been rectified, and every
thing is being put in good shape.
This is a gold mill, five stamp, and
has the advantage over many
other mills that it has plenty of
water to run on, Notwithstanding
the Unprecedented drouth.
The district abounds in good
gold mines, and there will be no
difficulty in supplying the mill
with an abundance of ore. The
putting up this mill has infused
new life into the gold mining
community of Walnut Grove dis
trict, and numbers of men are
now engaged in taking out ore all
over the district.
A. w Callen and Fred Henry
have several men at work on their
gold locations - the Rose, Light
ming, HoodOo and Wasp, and are
taking out ore for shipment to the
mill.
Holmes is at work on his mine,
and is still running his arrastre on
high grade ore.
w. A. Cullumber is sinking on
the Golden Crown, which shows
some very high grade ore.
Arbuckle & GOdfreyare at work
upon their new strike, which is
turning out rich, and shows a fine
character of ore in paying quanti-
ties.
jenkins & Co. are hard at work
on the Cheyenne, which is pro-
ducing we'll. They are already
hauling their quartz to the mill.
Placer mining is not so brisk as
usual in the district, owing to the
scarcity of water, b,lt some Mexi-
cans are dry washing on French
gulch and in the placeritas.-[ En-

In the United States Circuit
Court of Philadelphia nine of the
leading railroad strikers have been
convicted upon complaints for OBJ
structing and delaying mails, and
sentence will be pronounced on
Saturday. Several points of gen.
eral interest were established in
the trial of these cases. One of
these was in reference to the de-
tention of mail trains. Judge Cad
wallader held that the defense that
the strikers had offered no Obiec.
ton to the passage OF. the locomo-
tive and mail car was not tenable,
as the contract was for the trans
portation of the mails upon pas
senger trains, and that for the OBJ
structions of the trains upon which
mails were carried the parties
were liable. The same ruling has
been made by Judge Drummond
at Chicago, and 1T now seems to
be fully and finally established
that strikers are liable for the de-
tention of passenger mail trains.

steamer was detained chartered
by the month) from one term of
court to another and finally re-
leased as no charges could be sus-
tanned !; no law had been Violated,
but the object of the Spanish con-
sui had been attained ; and so on
through a long category of incl
dents has our government aided
and abetted Spain to crush and
enslave a race.
AS regards the Cubans. what has
been the position of our Great
Republic ? Opposed to republi.
canism rs against monarchy; to
emancipationists as against slave
holders, slave dealers and slave
importers, for the traffic goes on
in spite of SPANS treaties to sup
press it; to Americans as against
Europeans, in spite of our Monroe
doctrine, for the island Of Cuba is
America.
FOrmuch ofthis we are indebted
to Hamilton Fish, late Secretary
of State, and TO his sOn-in.law,
Sidney Webster, retained by Spain
as her legal counsel. with afee ten
fold greater than any he had ever
received before or since, and why?
The writer has often been told by
Spanish officials, and of high posi-
ton, not because Of his legal acu
men, but solely because Of his
relation to. and influence with,

The Nevada Supreme Court, in
the case of the Golden Fleece Gold
and Silver Mining Company VS..
the Cable Consolidated Mining
Company, held that a proper con-
structiOn of the Act of Congress
confines the location to a portion
of the ledge covered by the surface
boundaries, so that if the ledge
should be found to cross the sur
face, the locator will be limited to
the number of feet actually within
the location; that is if. in a claim
500 feet wide and 1900 feet long,
the ledge should cross the claim
at right angles the claimant will
take only 600 feet, instead of l 800.
This view of the law necessitates
the locator desiring to acquire the
right to 1900 feet, to ascertain, be-
fore making location, the exact
direction of the ledge, and to have
his surface boundaries include the
ledge for the whole number of
feet; otherwise the amount of
ground not included will be lost to
him. Eureka Sentinel.

A Monster Bunch OF Grapes.

There is now on exhibition at
116 Dupont street, a mammoth
bunch of grapes from the great
grapevine of Santa Barbara, a cut
ting from the monster sent to the

l25 lbs. is six feet in circumference
and three feet long. The vine from
which it was cut is sixteen years
old, and produces annually 10000
to 1000 pounds of grapes.
