surprise. Thirty or forty Indians
were killed in The charge.
Inc troops kept perfect order and dis
cip'me-every one cool. The Indians
were estimated by careful observa-
ton at sevel hundred warriors-two
thousand with women, children and
non conbatants. There were one hun.
dred and three camps where fires had
been made. indications of large
clouds OF dust point to the retreat oil

we learn from Geo. Bedwell that
the rich spot Of ground found by John
Graham, a short time ago, which ere.
a'ed the excitement at Banner, was at
what IS known as the Miller diggings
lney are situated a little west Of
north from Banner, distant from that
place twelve or fourteen miles and
on the summit of high mountain
Where some work had been done IN
early days. The spot found by Mr..
Graham was small, but it is thought
there is more rich ground in that Vi
entity. On the summit of the moun-
tam are a few flats, from which there
are gulches leading down a steep and
rugged mountain side. Several men
are prospecting there and hope to find
placer ground in some of them. At
Dry Lakes, near by, George Doble and
another man have found some ground
that they think will pay to rock. A
sufficient quantity of water for sluic-
ing can be had only early in the
spring, and then but for short time
This will be great drawback to the
successful working Of diggings that
may be discovered unless II ey are
rich enough to be worked with the
rocker. The gold taken out is coarser
than the average in this county, and
rs 1t is found on the highest mountain
OF that section, Mr.. Bedwell is of the
opinion that very rich ledge crosses
it. Where the gold is found large
quantities of quartz are scattered over
the surface. The country is very fa.
vorable for the successful working Of
quartz, the mountain sides being very
steep, SO that any desirable depth
could easily be obtained, and an abun.
dance Of timber. Prospectors are pay
lng some attention 10 that district. and
we expect to hear of some rich d.scov
cries being made.

Mr.. TrOxeIl Gets on His Legs.

Hello, Troxell, how do you do, any
way?" said one gentleman to another on
Fourth street yesterday, stopping to
shake hands cordially.
ooh, I'm about $685." replied
Troxell. 81 suppose you've heard the
news?"
"Yes; and 1 was mighty sorry to hear
of your failure. 1t actually stunned
me, but hope you'll soon pull around
all right again"
"I don't know, Timmons; it was a
clean wipe-out with me-" said the bank
rupt merchant, dolefully.
"Oh, pshaw Troxeli. You're not an
old man, and have lots of energy and
hard work in you yet, besides any
amount of experience to help you
along"
perhaps so; but it takes money to
make money, you know"
"Never bother; you're bound to
come out solid yet, Troxell; 1 know
you will. You've got plenty of friends
who will help you to starter, and
credit is as good as cash. 1t wasn't your
fault that you went under. It was John
Sherman and the blamed uncertainty of

don't get down in the mouth. / predict
that you'll be on your legs again before
six months, and you know I'm pretty
certain sortof prophet in business mat
ters."
"Yes, 1 know" said Troxell; "you
make some mighty close guesses once in
a while. But I've got little surprise
for you-I'm on my legs already"
"You don't tell me But knew it,
though man of your grit amt the
one to stay long in the dumps. But
tell me-how'd it come 2" said Timmons,
with manner warmer than the weather.
"Well, you see," said Troxell, slowly,
with cross-eyed wink: 81 was so com.
pletely scooped out that I had to sell
my carriage, and so now, of course, I'm
obliged to hoof it, you know"
Timmons said it wasn't bad, and the
mans who could joke like that over his
own misfortune couldn't be kept under
Cincinnati Breakfast Table.

That Noisy Boy.

ooh, Johnny |" cried a nervous moth
er, "do have some pity on my poor
head Cant you play without shouting
so p Poor Johnny drew up the tape
reins with which he was driving two
chairs tandem, and called ont in a loud,
hoarse whisper: "Get up-whoa !" But
at length, finding little pleasure in this
suppressed amusement, he threw down
his reins, and, laying his hands upon his
breast, said with long breath, "Oh,
mother, it's full of noise in here and it
hurts me to keep it in Don't all little
boys make a noise when they play 2"
"Yes, Johnny, believe they all do"
replied the lady. "Oh, then, mother
dear" cried Johnny, in a winning tone,
"please let me be q little boy" We
will join poor Johnny in his petition.
Please, mother, let your sons be little
boys while they may. Let them have a
free and happy childhood, that when
your head is low in the grave they may
point back to those days and say, 1--WE
were happy children, for there was al
ways sunshine where our mother was. "

In 1920 the best trotting time was a
mile in s minutes. In 1910 the time was
reduced to $40; in 1880, to 2:28 in
1850, to 2:26 in 1860, to 2:192 in 1870,
2:l74 in 1876, the best record was made
by Goldsmith Maid, who made mile in
2:14, which hasrecently been equaled by
Rarus. Practically, the limit of trotting
speed may be said to have been reached,
though it is by no means improbable
that phenomenal animals may decrease
the time of Goldsmith Maid.

A HUNGARIAN gravely proposes to
drive the Jews out of Europe. He holds
that the continent has been threatened
by two foreign elements for thousand
years-Mohammedan and Jewish. The
Mohammedans, he thinks, have ceased
to be dangerous, and are gradually dis
appearing, but the Jews, with their per-
sistent and merciless energy, threaten
to enslave the whole of Christendom.
This is the source of all the evils from
which the continent is suffering, for
Jewish interests, politics, statesmen.
journalists and fiuanciers direct the des-
TIMES of all great states, and influence
all Governments. To remedy this great
international evil, he considers that
there is but one course-to expel the
Jews from Europe. and colonize them in
the Holy Land.

Profit in Wheat.

Mr.. J. P. Thompson, Secretary of the
Michigan State Agricultural Society,
writes to the Country Gentleman "The
profit on wheat is relative. If a farmer
can sell his wheat early at fair price,
and thereby save interest, save hazard,
save waste, he can make money 10y sell
ing rather than holding. If he can sell
wheat even at cheap price and buy
lumber, nails, labor and building mate
rails at a cheap price, he can make money
by selling rather than by holding. All
farmers want capital. If farmer can
sell his wheat even at low price, and
take that money and put it into more
wheat, into cultivation and fertilization
of land, into labor on more land, then he
perhaps does better than to hold his
wheat. He keeps his money busy. He
keeps his capital employed. If man
sells wheat at low price and buys land
at low price, which is sure to double
in value, then he has not lost money by
selling his wheat. Idle capital at the
present day is winning no laurels. Idle
wheat in the granary is dead capital.
The farmer does not want any dead
capital about. The man who keeps his
capital turning, even at small margin,
is the man who is making any money.
The day of large profits is not now. The
men who have been waiting for large
profits in wheat are the men who have
lost money. The men who are making
money in farming are the men who turn
their capital often, who employ labor,
who make improvements, who put
money into crops and stock judiciously
and who do business satisfied with small
profits"

Cause or the Warm Summer.

Prof. Langley, of the Pittsburgh
Observatory, attributes the intense heat
of this summer to the fact "that the
suns face is at present free from spots
almost beyond past remembrance. Next
summer, he says, the spots will begin
to reappear and will go on increasing IN
number and expanding in size until they
reach their maximum, in 1882, when
they will again begin to decline grad
ually until they will almost or quite dis.
appear in 1889. Herschel taught that
the weather is hottest when the spots on
the sun ara most numerous, but Prof.
Langley holds an entirely opposite doc
tripe. II it he true that the face OF the
sun this year is almost without spots,
the fact must be accepted as strong
support of the professors theory.

ISAAC FRIEDLANDER, known as Cali
fornia's grain king, is deed, at the inn
mature age of "a. He was a native OF
Germany, but bred in New York, and
went to California amid the excitement
which followed the discovery OF gold.
He soon abandoned the mines for COM
merce, and laid the foundation of Cali.
fornia's great export trade in cereals.
Ralston, the banker, was Friedlander's
friend, and aided him materially In
maintaining his grasp upon the grain
trade of the State. The suspension OF
the Bank of California was severe blow
to Friedlander. He made and lost sew
eral large fortunes, and is believed to
have died solvent.

THERE is a sensation at Toronto over
an alleged discovery that 100000 of
counterfeit American silver dollars have
been put in circulation in Canada re-
Gently. 1t is said that the counterfeits
are so skillfully executed to initiate the
original that they cannot be detected,
and consequently it is proposed in To-
ronto to refuse to receive all American
silver coin of every description. The
$4,000, 900" part of the story is too big,
and spells it even for sensational pur-
poses.

A CHURCH in Chicago was scandalized
recently by the efforts of sewing-ma-
chine man to make the congregation an
advertising medium. Just before church
time he had number of fans placed in
the pews. These fans were of the shut
up kind, and it was not until the people
began to fan themselves that the discov-
cry was made that each fan was embel-
lished with conspicuous advertisement
of the sewing machine mans business.

A TYPOGRAPHICAL error in Hartford
paper suggests the inquiry whether
some of the grave responsibility which
the public puts on the druggists for the
consequences of their mistakes ought
not to be transferred to the shoulders of
the compositor, while at the same time
it furnishes strong argument against the
use of Latin terms in medicine. The
printer had a medical formula to set up,
in which occurred the aqua Fonts
(spring water), but the types made it
aqua fortis, change that might be re-
sponsible for some serious consequences.
The manuscript of the average medical
practitioner, by the way, is not such as
to conduce to accuracy when placed in
the hand of the printer.

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
decided upon the steps which he will
pursue in investigating the cause and
seeking a remedy for the hog cholera.
Congress, at its last session, appropriat-
ed $40, 900 for this purpose. He finds.
on examination. that the greatest losses
from this cause occurred in the States of
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, and
that they have reached annually about
81, 500, 900 for these States. He has de-
cided to put the matter for investigation
into the hands of board of eight exam
iners. They ere to receive 5000 month
each for their services, and reasonable
travelling expenses. 1t is expected that
they will complete their labors in about
two months. The following gentlemen
have BEEN appointed upon the board
