THE MORE MURDER TRIALs.-Tho
trial of Lord, another OF the parties i'm
picated in the killing of More, at San
Busnaventura, resulted in disagreement
of the jury. The jury stood 0 for acquit-
tal, 8 for conviction. Present indi-
cations are that the same result, or ao-
quittals will follow in the other cases.
Jones, the main evidence for the prose-
cution shows signs OF weakening, and has
been held under bonds to appear at the
next trials. 1t is said that he was closet
ed with the attorneys for the defence an d
has said that he will not testify. If
Sprsgue is granted new trial by tho
Supreme Court it mny result altogether
different from the first one. Truly, law

THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN.--The Mis-
sissippi plan of collecting taxes on drinks
differs from the Moffst system. Books Of
coupons are sold by the State Auditor to
all liquor dealers. When the drink is
sold the consumer receives q coupon,
which entities him to receive from the
State in payment Of his taxes one cent.
1.-two drinks are paid for, he receives ar
orange-colored coupon good for two
cents. If five drinks, blue paper good
for hve cents. Net only does the State
enjoy an income from the tax on drinks,
but the consumer has reasonable chance
Of paying off taxes with coupons.

A BeLD TRAIN ROBBERY.
morning one Of the boldest robberies ever
perpetrated took place in Kansas. As the
train left Winthrop junction four men
stepped on board. The conductor was
passing from the express to the other cars.
He was made to go back with a pistol
cooked in his face, and the two brakemen
in the express car were brought into sub
lection in the same manner. The robbers
then grabbed the money from the express
messenger, made the conductor stop the
train, and then W it'll their pistols drawn
on the employees backed out and off the
cars and escaped. The whole affair was
so quickly managed that the passengers
took no alarm, supposed the stopping
part of the regular business Of the road.

A New PHASE OF CRIME.-Some days
since a man name A. NJ. TLllis, WAS
murdered at Grand Island in Sacramento
county. Tho crime was involved in
mystery aud for time it looked as il the
mystery was one which might never be
solved. At first the only clue to the mur-
derers WAS the fact that two strange men
had been seen in boat, going in the
direction of the dead mans house. From
this clue, slender us it was, the Under
Sheriff Of Sacramento county has traced
the murder in such manner that ciIcum
stances seem to point unerringly to the
guilty parties. One Of the parties is Troy
Dye. the Public Administrator of Sacra-
mento county, and the only motive VIII ich
can be assigned for tho horrible deed is
that Dye, as Public Administrator, would
be entitled TO the fees and percentages
allowed by law for settling up the decess-
ed's estate, which is valued at over fifty
thousand dollars. That nan capable
Of fulfilling the duties of that station
could descend to such depth in the scale
OF brutality simply for the purpose of
making business" seems incredible, yet
fhs chain of circumstances traced out and
bearing on the matter as published in
the Record Union, would seem to justify
the belief that incredible as it appears it
is yet true. There is no penalty too Sc
we're for such decd, and while, for the
credit OF humanity we trust it may appear
that the crime is due TO different motive,
the evidence thus far collected seems 10
admit of but one conclusion.

A NOBLE OLD WRECK We 1nd this
item in the Reese River Rereiits: A
gentleman writing to friend in this city
from Bartlett Springs, California, tho
celebrated invalid resort, gives some in
teres.ing facts about the man from whom
the Springs take their name, and who is
the owner Of that property. Bartlett is
an old nountaineer. who spends most of
his time in tie mountains hunting, visit
ing towns occasionally TO swap game or
p~ts for groceries. On these visits he
usually gets on a bowling drunk. The
property in which the Spring are includ
cd is very valuable, and Bartlett has been
offered large sum Of money for his title
10 it, but he firmly declines to SELL saying
that money is Of no use 10 him. as he
would only spend ii for liquor. His pas
sion for spirituous liquor is so great that
he stays in the mountains and subsists by
hunting. that he may be out of the way Of
temptation. The Springs are great re-
sort for invalids, and kept by man hold
ing lease from old Bartlett. In this
lease is clause agreeing that all imps-
cunious sick persons who may wish to a.
raiI themselves of the curative properties
of the Springs shall have the use gratis;
and, further, all persons so availing
themselves who are too poor to pay their
board, are to be boarded by the lessee
and the bills for the same TO be charged
TO Bartlett, and the amount deducted
from the rent. This old rough diamond
Is evidently n practical philnnthropi.t.

A Symmetrical Character.

General Washington, on account of
his eminent services in the Revolution
ary struggle, has been styled the Father
of this country. Considered as whole,
he holds rank among the greatest men,
if he was not the greatest man, OF that
memorable period. In elOquence, how
ever, Washington was far from being
equal to Patrick Henry. AS a simple
logician, he was inferior to Alexander
Hamilton. There were many men in the
Revolutionary age greater than Wash
ingtOn in pGr5CulGr respects.
What, then, was it that gave him such
an aScendency and prominence among
the distinguished actors Of that age, and
has placed his name 50 high on the roll
of fame in all ages? Lord BrOugham
has suggested-a5 we think, correct Y
that the greatness of Washington con-
sisted not 50 much in any one thing as
in a remark ably proportionate combina-
ton of great Uarie'y of good qualities.
These, in their harmony and their
aggregate, made him the strongest
and most important man Of the times,
and, indeed, one of the greatest charac-
ters that has ever graced the page of
human history. This seems to be the
true theory. He was Washington on
all sides and on all OCCASIONS -on the
tented field, and in the Cabinet, in
peace, and in war. He was really weak
nowhere. His mind was well balanced
and his character self-harmoniOus. He
could probably do more things and do
them better than any other man of his
age. His virtues were unquestionable.
His intellectual composition was a COM
plete and finished mechanism of power,
without leakage, wastage, surplusage,
or any damaging drawbacks. Perhaps
no man ever lived presenting a greater
degree of symmetry and proportion in
all the elements of his being. 3 Samuel

japanese Miracle Workers

Among the arrivals yesterday on the
steamship City of Peking, says the san
Francisco ChronicIe, were two priests
from the interior of Japan, claiming to
be endowed with miraculous power
They are on their way to the Paris EX-
position with a party of their country
men, conducted by two English gentle,
men who have for several years resided
in Japan. A CbrOnicle reporter inter
viewed these gentlemen at their hotel
last evening and was cOurteouSly re-
ceived. They informed him that these
priests are religious enthusiasts, VINO
profess, through the power OF faith ana
by the medium Of prayer, to be enabled
to do the most remarkable thingS-such
as are recorded in the Christian gospels
as in the power of the followers of Jesus
referring to those passages which
speak of their being able to remove
mountains, and to swallow deadly pol
sons without harm. One of the mirac-
ulous things that these priests are able
to do is to walk with naked feet over
the edges of swords ground to the keen
ness of razor, and also over bed OF
live Goals. They never attempt this
without formal and feryent appeal to
their divinity for protection, and they
assert most positively that it would
be impossible for them to perform the
works they do without the divine inter-
ference in their behalf. They intend to
exhibit these remarkable powers IN
Paris during their stay, and will chal-
lenge.the devotees of the Christian or
any other faith to do the things that
they do. In answer to the reporters
inquiry if they would exhibit their pow,
ers in this country, the gentlemen said
that such was not their intention, but to
spend few weeks in seeing objects Of
interest on the Pacific aud Atlantic
slopes. Thanking the gentlemen for
their courtesy, and assuring them that
their request not to mention their names
should be complied with, the reporter
withdrew, regretting that he would not
have the opportunity to witness this re-
yiVal of one Of the lost arts.
