The New Dollar.

Here is a description of the new
dollar: On the diverse side is the
head of the Goddess of Liberty, with
wreath entwined in the hair, and
wearing cap, on which is inscribed
the word Liberty" The periphery
or circle consists of thirteen stars,
representing the original States, and
Immediately over the head is the
motto, "E Pluribus Unum," while at
the bottom is the date, 1878. On the
reverse side is an American eagle,
with wings extended, and holding in
his talons spears and arrows, emble-
matte of defense. The eagle is sur
rounded by wreath and immcdi-
ately above the head is the motto,
"In God we Trust" Around the
periphery are the words "United
States of America" At the bottom
of the coin are the words "One Dol
lar" and the weight.

A LOST CHuLD.-On Monday lit
tie girl, three or four years old, was
noticed following a mule team which
came down the road and stopped in
front of Walter & Co.'S store. Mr..
Augustine suspected the child had
strayed from her home in Gold Hill,
and on inquiry found that her name
was Smith. He ordered one of the
men to get out the buggy and take
her up the road and try to find her
parents. When the team started she
wanted to follow, evidently thinking
it was going toward her home, and to
quiet her screaming she was allowed
to go. Two men were sent in the
buggy and when they overlook the
child ut the lower end Of town she
was persuaded to get in and ride.
The men then turned towards Gold
Hill, and the home of the child was
found near the lady Washington
mine. Her mother did not know she
had strayed away, and thought she
had been hurt on the road and was
being brought home in q buggy on
that account,

Effect Of Legislative Tinkering,

There can be no doubt that the
pending bills in the California Legis-
lature have q tendency to deter in.
vcstors in mining ventures, either in
the way Of mere dealing in stocks or
the direct expenditure of capital in
the development Of new claims.
There is feeling OF some degree of
insecurity and disposition to await
the adjourn ment. We have been
shown letter Of recent date from
Byron Jennings, who left here last
fall for his home in California, after
perfecting his application for patent
to the South St. Louis mine. Mr.
Jennings and his associates have in
corporated, for the purpose of work
ing this ground, under the name of
the Irwin Gold and Silver Mining
Company. We append an extract
from his letter, giving the result of
his San Francisco experience:
"Our Legislature has several bills
before it for the purpose OF regu-
lating mining companies so as to
protect the stockholders and either
of them, so far offered, is a remedy
worse than the disease. Should either
pass, it will be the means Of driving
all the mining companies out of the
State. The fact of the matter is,
everything is at standstill at pres
ent, and will remain so till people
find out what the Legislature is going
to do"

PIPER's OPERA HoUsE.-The XII
ralfys are drawing immense houses.
On Monday evening, their opening
night, the theater was literally
damned. Their success is well-de-
served, too. The "Black Crook" is
one of the most gorgeous spectacular
plays ever put on the stage, and
in the hands Of the Kiralfys it loses
none of the features that have made
so many managers rich and gained
for it worldwide celebrity. The
performance Of the premier danseuses
calls forth repeated bursts Of ap.
plause. The corps de ballet show a
perfection rarely attained. The
march of the Amazons is manifi-
cent spectacle, alone worth the price
of admission. There is nothing in
the play to shock the most refined
and sensitive moralists. The stock
company aqnit themselves crediIably
In the handling of the drama tic por-
tons of the play. Miss Young
dresses and acts the Fairy Queen to
perfection and never looked prettier.
Crosbie's appearance never fails to
elicit hearty outburts OF laughter.
There will be matinee to-day at

The Irwin Gold and Silver Mining
Company has incorporated in San
Francisco to mine in Devils Gate Dis
trict, Lyon county, Nevada. The
claim Of this company has hitherto
been known as the South ST. Louis,
and the title will soon be United
States patent, Byron Jennings and
Charles E. Campbell having made
application some months since
There was an adverse claim to o
small portion of the ground, but it
was settled without contest, and
the application was not opposed in
the Land Office at Carson. The COM
pany will commence work within
about month to develop the mine.

ABOUT o'clock Sunday afternoon
VIM. Hunter, young man employed
as a clerk at the Con. Virginia Office,
was shot in his room, No. 25 North
C street, Virginia, by Geo. A. Gray,
and dangerously wounded in the
groin. At the time of the shooting
Hunter was sitting on sofa smoking
a cigarette, and Mrs. Gray was sit
ting on the other end of the sofa
writing note. Gray stepped into
the room, said: "Hunter, you are try
ing to ruin my family" and immedi-
ately fired. Mrs. Gray and Mr.. Ba-
ker, the landlord, interfered and
stopped the shooting, and Gray was
soon after arrested and lodged in Jail,
in default of $1,000 bail. Gray is a
stage driver, having formerly been
employed ON lines running out OF
Virginia, and seems to have been
driven, to the crime by unfounded
jealousy. Mr.. Hunters condition
yesterday was much improved, and
his physicians felt certain of his re-
covery.

The Lenten Season.

We extract the following from the
Parish Guide: "This season takes its
name from the old Saxon word Lent,
meaning spring. Nor is it hard to
see how appropriately the Lenten
season of the church takes its name
from the spring season of the year.
As each successive spring witnesses a
revival of the energies of nature,
bringing forth new forms of beauty
and strength, so should the humilla-
ton and penitence of Lent make US
purer and stronger in our Christian
characters. We are called during
this season to follow our blessed Lord
in the self-denial and humiliation
which marked His life. His sojourn
of forty days in the wilderness, where
He endured temptation, seems to have
suggested our season, and the story of
that conflict with Satan is one of the
themes presented for our considera-
ton at its very opening"
