what Miners should DO.

The Nevada City Herald" contains the
following sensible suggestions: While the
miners are banding together in union to
protect each other from reduced wages.
etc. why would it not be a good plan to
form a prospecting union, to discover and
develop some new mines, each man pleds-
ing himself to furnish his portion Of labor
for this purpose? More business and more
places for lsborers is all that is needed to
keep up the wages. Many apparently good
locations remain undevelopsd for the rea-
son that enc or two laboring men are
unable to work them. which by a com
bination II laborers could soon be proved
TO be good or otherwise, at a very small
expense to the association.

4 Remarkable Story.

On the 22d Of February, 1873, James
Wilson Barron. Treasurer of the Savings
Bank in Dexter. Maine, was found locked
in the safe vault bound and gagged and in
n few hours after his release died. 1t was
supposed that he had been attacked, had
refused to give the combination Of lock
and had been in revenge for his faithful
discharge of duty in preventing robbery
locked into the vault by the robbers to die.
He left quite an amount of life insurance
for his family and number of thousand
dollars has been subscribed for his wife
and children by admirers of his heroism.
A chapel was in process OF erection IN
Dexter rs memorial of the deceased.
But of late some Boston detectives have
been up there and have in conjunction
with the president of the bank and the
new treasurer come to the conclusion that
Barron was a defIulter and committed SUI
icide to hide his crime.
In brief they claim that the bank books
have been tempered with and that Barron
was defaulter to the amount of $4,000 in
all; also that by means of screw driver,
aided by the light of Il kerosene lamp
found within the vault, he could have lock
ed himself into the vault leaving the keys
on the outside. And Detective Dearborn
locked himself in to show how it cou Id be
done.
Now all this may be true; Barron may
have been a most consummate trickstel
but the long tale of the detectives publish
cd in the Boston papers is very inconclu'
sve. 1t must implcate Mr.. Wiggin an
other Boston detective who is favoraby
known here, as trying to attempt to hum
bug the Dexter people by pretending to
fird traces of the men who performed the
robbery. 1t also goes upon Il theory that
it is impossible that the present treasure
is dishonest man. together with TIN
bank president. In fact everybody is II
be taken rs honest except the dead man
| anu lllC sNlCh hllu tilO hSlOoNh
lamp and the erasures must be just' Il
Treasurer Hamilton is pleased to have
them.
Altogether it is best before setting i
down us proved that Mr. Barron kille(
himself to hide his crime, to consider
whether other parties may not have fourC
it for their interest to have him appear Il
behind hand in his accounts-and thos
the very parties who have had access tt
his books since his death. 1t may, very
true, turn out in the end that Detectiv
Dearborn is right, but he has very ia
from proved his case rs yet aud we hay
considerable curiosity to hear from De
tectivc Wiggin and from Barron's friend
in Dexter as to what their version of maj
tiers is-at any rate before condemning
dead man.

Finally a Republic.

A very sudden change has taken place
in the presidency of the French republic.
For the last five years it has had at its
head n man whose whole thought was
hostile to any real epublicanism-a man
obstinate and just bit stupid now and
then though one who commanded respect
for honesty Of purpose and affection for his
country.
After Theirs had been president for
three years, in May, 1878, a combination
was made against republcanism which
forced him to resign the Office and
Marshal MacMahon, Duke of Magenta,
was elected. He occupied the presidential
chair under the hand-to. mouth system of
government then prevailing in France for
few months when in November, 1873. a
more permanent system was devised, so
guarded that it was hoped by its makers
that it could be forever kept out of the
hands of real republicans. Thi; system
provided that the term of the presidency
should be seven years and MacMahon was
again elected, this time his term Of Office
to expire in November, 1880.
lie had at first Il strongly anti-republi-
can cabinet, but has been gradually forced
into keeping advisers in power who have
some sympathy for liberal measures. Du-
faure who has been for some time prime
minister is conservative republican but
he was ready to move forward and do
those things which should put the govern
mcnt in the hands of its real friends. Sc
week or two ago, rs promised to the
chambers, the cabinet proposed DEGREES
for the presidents signature making
changes in the civil appointees of the gov
eminent and retiring certain generals
known to be not in sympathy with the
republic. As to the civil officers MacAla-
hon was submissive and signed the orders,
but when it came to displacing his mill
tary friends the old soldier rebellel and
said if that were to be done another
must do it. lie therefore resigned las
Thursday the presidency.
The Senate and ihe deputies met il
what we call Joint convention " on the
evening of that day and elected Jules
Grevy. the president Of the deputies, tC
the office of president of the French re
public. He received five hundred and
thirty-six out Of six hundred and seventy
votes and AT once assumed the duties o
his new place. a short sketch Of the new
president is elsewhere given.
It is said that Dlfaure will not be per-
suaded to continue as prime minister ant
that NJ. Waddington, careful statesman
will form new cabinet Gambctta ha'
been chosen to Grevy's place rs presden
Of The deputies. The newspapers state
that Grevy has been elected president foI
seven years. We had supposed that
