MINING LAWS.

It seems to us that there is afforded rare
opportunity in the case now before the U. s.
Circuit Court for a decision which shall, in
such measure as is possible, set at rest certain
Sallacies concerning what may be called the
technics of mining operations. 1t is in vain
70 say that ga one ledge theory" is not a
legitimate point from which to start from III
dealing with as evident thing as the True
Fissure vein known as the Comstock. &C.
ciogy is not an exact science; but there are,
underlying its structure of probabilities many
excuses if not reasons for arriving at some
taing which approaches certainty of con-
clsion But laws have foundation in Ger
sain very understandable and plain circum-
stances When the miners of California first
began to work the bars and banks which are
now known as placers, they soon took steps
70 prevent any such piratical nonsense as is
practiced in the name of mineral traces and
continuous deposits, and so, when defined
belt of precious quartz was found-as in the
Comstock-the miners by law which has for
ts base the very soul of justice, said in effect,
each man shall have his share of this strip Of
this wealth producing material and not any
more. Now if there has been an occupancy
Of true vein orledge at Candelaria, and rights
acquired Hereunder, and if one party or the
other is all intruder, let the intruding party be
busted forever. But let no weakly accepted
premise, unskillfuly maintained by maladroit
experts defeat the ends of justice Misapplied
lawbreakers of garrulous technology should
not be counted as against the honest rights of
tde uniearned and the industrious. There is
a shimbie-rigging of science as well as Of
saeaner things; but substantial rights should
rever be made to play battledore to the shut
sieceok of glib or stammering professional e1-
perts. We mean no offensive personal rehec
sion; but We do mean that it is tiue that the

A BILL was introduced in the House day
by Finlay proposing to prohibit the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, ,.nder penalty of
heavy fines, from charging an additional sum
for tire transportation, of freight and passen-
sers over the bridge at Omaha in excess to
the amount now allowed by law for similar
transportation over any other portion Of the
road.
Almost righteous bill and one vi ich ought,
ny all means, become law at the very earli-
eat period of time. A more shameless out
,rsge upon the travelling public than that
which is constantly practiced by the Omaha
transportation company "a side show of the

EyAptNG HIS I'URsUFEs. - The Eureka
Ls,asr Of Monday tells us the following story
of clever rogue:
What is . great sensation 5000 miles away
- but of Slight interest by the time it reaches
here, hence, the Stewart body-snatching crime

aery was horrible one, but so foreign to

special features were regarded as evidence of
she utter deprayity of the East, as compared
With the higher state of civilization West of
Tho Rocky mountains. It'll an open secret,
however. that Eureka has been brought into
ootoriety i'll detective circles at least by the
TACT that the chief actor, the ghoul who was
at The head of the gang, and who fed after
the commission of his crime, actually tarried
10 this town, how long period We failed to
learn, but he was hero two days at least. He
was FORMERLY resident of Washington City

Ut many aliases. He is man about 10 years

THE DEVIL AND THE LAWYERS.

THE DEVIL AND THE LA W 1ERS.
The devil came up 10 the earth one day,
And into coIrt.hOuse be wended his way,
just as an attorney with very grave face
Was prOcecding.to TO argue the points In a
case.
Now lawyer his devilship never had
seen.
For 10 his dominions none ever had been,
And he felt very curious the reason TO
know
Why none had been sen. 10 the region
below.
Twas the fault Of his agents his Majesty
thought.
Why none Of these sharpeIs had ever been
caught;
And for his own pleasure be had desire
To come 10 the earth and the reason en-
We'll the lawyer who rose with visage so
grave,
Made out his opponent eonsummatS
Knaye
And the devil was really greatly amused
To hear the attorney 20 aptly abused.
As soon as the speaker had come 20 Il
close
The counsel opposing him fercely arose,
And heapcd such abuse on tho head Of tn,
frH,
And made him n villain-of al! men the
worst
Thus they quarreled, contended and nrgu
ed so long,
Twas bard to determine the one that wal
wrong,
And concluding he'd heard quite enough
of the fuss,
Old Nick turned away and soliloquiZeC
thus:
II all they have said of each other b.
true,
| The devil has surely been robbed Of hi

| am satisfied now tits all very well
For these lawyers would ruin the moral
oil hell.
They've puzzled the court with their vii

And I'm free to confess they've muddle

THE UNPARDoNABLE SIN.

The objectionable sin was the subject Of
the Rev. Mr.. Hat6eld's sermon delivered
IN the Eighteenth Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church, New York. The preacher
took his text from Matthew, Kill, 81
And whosoeyer speaketh a word against
the soH OF Man il shall be forgiven him
but whosoever speakelh word against
the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven
him, neither in this world, neither in the
world 10 come" The preacher divided
his sermon into three parts, so as to show
first. in what this sin consists or in what
way 1t may be committed second, why it
cannot be forgiven; and third. what lesson
this subject teaches. This sin may be csm-
mitted by speaking against the Holy
g host. He who speaks against the oper
atiOns of the spirit and ascribes them 10
Satanic agency, or who speaks in con-
temptuous manner of His work, is guilty
of committing sin against Him.
There is "A distinction made in the text
between speaking against Christ and the
Holy Ghost. Christ evidently designed to
teach the PhArisees that though they
should deny Him and declare that He az
assman was in league with Satan. sin though
\ it was, it would be forgiven But after
ward, when the Holy Ghost should com
aud be should bear testimony that Chris
