MUCH EXCITEMENT AND NOTHING
IN IT.

| At $50 clock last evening, the people who
startled by the most fearful cries and vulgar
language that ever emanated from a human
| throat. The excited populace's speculations
regarding the cause for such unearthly yells
with the yeller, whose name could not be as
certained, in tow. The prisoner was young
man, recently in from Bodie, and had con-
summed whskey in unlimited quantities during
became master, and the result was that the
young man tried to Guido himself IN the mat
ter of making himself extremely disagreesble.
When, at length, his ambition in that direc-
ton had reached a climax, the Sheriff
found it necessary for the pubic good to Jug
him. He was a powerfully built fellow and
the extraordinary quantity of whiskey in him
seemed to endow him with superhuman
strength. He was too much for one man to
conveniently handle, therefore several good
citizens volunteered their services in aiding
the Sheriff to take the prisoner to Jail. The
way he kicked in striving to free himself
from his captors was warning; the emphatic
and meaningless oaths he hurled at the mass
of humanity who followed him up the street
were of nature to make the devil blush =
and the tragic voice and air he assumed after
being taken into the Sheriffs Office would
have reflected credit upon Forrest But he
was soon subdued and placed in cell where
he will find ample opportunity to reflect upon
the fact that the way of the transgressor is
not strewa with roses nor spring beds.

CUTTERS DR. j. M. Benton received a
couple of the handsomest cutters ever i'm
ported to this town from Wisconsin yester-
day. These cutters are of the latest pat
tern and gotten up in the highest style of the
art; they are beauties. Now, gentle reader,
donot misinterpret this notice of Bentons new
cutters; we do not solely write this item to
puff Benton, but to secure for our young lady
friends sleigh ride when the snow comes, if
it does. Our young men for the past few
winters neglected to take their sweethearts
sleigh riding, for the reason, so they said,
that there were no cutters in town stylish
enough They are here now, at Benton S
stable, and in the language of the immortal
General J. R. Kittrell, from the tar burning
regions of North Carolina, ''Dont you forget
it."

STOCK OPERATORS AROUSED - A
RIOT THREATENED IN VIRGINIA.

From a gentleman who came from Virginia
in carriage last evening, we learn that yes
terdays frightful depreciation in north end
stocks, which is ascribed to interruptions and
| dishonest manipulations of those mines, and
which fact has ruined many man in Virginia
| as we'll as elsewhere, was the buge sound for
a threatening demonstration on the part of the
| crowd of very nearly thousand victims of
the Sierra Nevada job were surging to and
fro in front of the Nevada and California
banks, threatening all manner of violence,
such as the hanging of Mackay and Skae and
the burning of the Sierra Nevada hosting
works The excitement was intense, and
more law-abiding citizens of that city were
momentarily expecting to see the threats of
the exasperated mob carried into effect. A
delegation of the sufferers hunted up Johnny
Skae, and when they found him he was in
formed that he must open the mine to visit
ors. He promised to do so and issued passes
very freely, the most of which were to be
used at o'clock this morning. Then the
crowd went in search of John Mackay, but
up to late hour last evening he was not
found. This circumstance is fortunate one,
for had Mr. Mackay fallen into the hands of
the excited men he would in all probability
have come to harm. Up to the time of writ
ing this item no acts of violence had been
perpetrated but there is no telling what e1-
treme measures an excited crowd of men may
adopt, and especially when all their earthly
possessions are in the twinkling of an eye
swept away by men in whom they reposed
implicit confidence. We do most avowedly
sympathize with the unfortunate ones who
have lost their all in the Sierra Nevada ven
ture, but at the same time most emphatically |
deprecate any unlawful course on the part of
the unfortunate people. Mob law never did |
and never will remedy an evil, but, ON the |
contrary, invariably renders bad state of
affairs worse. 1t is greatly to be hoped that
wise and orderly counsel will prevail. and that
the riot cloud and threatening storm will pass
away without any serious results

Yesterdays market was of more panicky
character than any since the fearful decline
in values in 1878. The enormous deprecia-
ton in Sierra Nevada, Union and Mexican,
to say nothing of other securities, will carry
down to ruin many man who, week since,
was rich. Many pleasant, comfortable home
will have to be sold, and families driven to
poor lodgings, to satisfy the avarice of I'M
scrupulous and heartless mining manipula-
tors. And this comes all from the pernicious
and ruinous practice of buying stocks on mar
gins. SO long as that custom is not done
away with, SO long will these sudden and
frightful breaks occur in the stock market,
and 80 long will the I" outside" stock dealer
be exposed to being reduced from affiuence to
absolute want from one day to another. But
we suppose that were the entire press of this
coast to moralize, day after day, upon the
great danger of ''buying stocks on a mar
gin, the good people would no more heed
the warnings than they do the idle wind, con-
.equently the rich d" insider" is daily growing
richer, and the poor I" outsider is daily be-
coming more impoverished.

CHINESE THIEF.-Iesterday morning a
heather Monaghan, bearing an unpoetical
pseudonvm, stealthily entered butcher shop
in the vicinity of the Mint, with the fixed
purpose of surreptitiously getting away with
lean soup bone without rendering the pro
prietor an equivalent or asking his leave.
But, then the best laid plans of men and mice
do not in all instances result satisfactorily to
the planners, as will be remarked in the case of
our celestial hero. John thought he had a
soft thing on that hard soup bone, and was
Just on the point of secreting it under an
abominably dirty blue blouse, when the pro
prietor of the establishment, who had stepped
out for a moment, entered. 1t would require
the pencil of Dore to depict the expression
of fright which at that moment Overspread
the saffron -hued face of that Chinaman. He
tried to apologize for his kleptomaniacal pro-
pensit;es in the most classical language of his
native tongue and in the cutest pigeon Eng
Iish But the butcher, whom we take as a
member of the Workingmen's party, was
very wrathy he made the Chinaman dis
gorge, and by the application of No 10
boot to the thief the latter was landed in the
middle of the sidewalk. Discretion being
one of the strongest traits in our heros ma
ture, he concluded that continuance of the
controversy was undesirable, and gathering
himself up he made very lively time to ex-
tend the distance between himself and the
scene of his late exploit. 1t is generally be-
lieved, and so expressed by experts, that that
Chinaman will in the future buy his soup
bones, if his epicurean tastes continue to
banker after the flesh pots.

evil results of the present stock panic. We
told that there are a number OF parties
here who could have sold their stocks week
ago at an enormous profit, but would not dis
pose of them, and to-day are worse off than
possessing nothing at all.
