Historians and painters alike represent the
Companions Of Columbus as expecting and seek
ing gold In the India which they thought they
had reached. Up 10 recent date it might be
said that not only more glory but more gold was
obtainable as the result OF tie discovery OF the
western world instead OF India. For while the
latter country has produced coal iron. and salt in
abundance, gold has not been among her mineral
treasures. But reports now indicate that the
fancieS OF the early explorers which pictured
India rs land OF gold are not entirely blSeless.
quartz reefs showing auriferouS traces have
been examined for an area OF twenty-five miles
by thirteen, at depth Of from two TO four feet;
and the reported result is a yield Of from few
pennywelghts TO two hundred ounces OF gold
per ton The latter proportion is, however, ex-
traordinary and exceptional. The gold fields
lie in Wynaad, a district some fifty miles from
Nysore. An immediate rise In the price OF rea
estate at Wynaad Is anticipated

The value to a state OF an adequate and we'll
equipped force OF militia is brought out with
distinctnesS in a recent report concerning the
citizen soldiery OF Illinois. In spite OF the fact
that before single company had been mustered
into service. a general strike of railroad and
other employees had begun. causing almost the
entire suspension OF the internal commerce OF
Illinois in common with other states much was
done in the way OF saving that section from the
evils which were experienced in some other
states one thousand OF the force were even sent
10 Fast ~. Louis. and restored peace and order at
that point. A serious riot nearer AT home
threatened Chicago, but was arrested by a SINH
lar display OF strength. The united action OF
the civil authorities and military quelled the
outbreak AZ its very beginning. and saved the
city from lawleSSneSS and violence. The rail-
road riots cost Illinois a considerable sum. but
without the check Of the militia the damage
tina; would have been inflicted upon the mate
rial interests OF the state cannot be estimated
The militia was also Of service in the recent
Commune excitement. Illinois has thus found
her small force very effective.

one OF the Boston papers says that no special
pains are taken TO prevent bpdy-snatching in
The suburban cemeteries of that city. because
the theory prevails that there are no body
snatchers there. But is is not safe TO assume
that even the soiemnity of Boston has terrors
for the reSurrectiOnist, whose delight is in GEM
eteries. The discovery OF some appalling case
e grave robbery In that city may, therefore.
be hourly expected. There is no reason why
Christian, who seems TO get the blame for all
such robberieS when the clues fail. should not
be carrying on operations in Boston, as he is.
according to report, in most OF the other cities
pf the United States.
