GREAT ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES
Under the head of shipping Trade" ;"
the New York Times remarks Last
Winter quite number OF American
San Francisco to England at the rate of
q shiiings a ton. Now, however, the
upward tendency of the market has car
ried the rate 10 81, ana it will not be at
all strange if 20 shllings per ton is paid
before the season is over. But this great
increase in rates, hardly less on an aver
age than 100 per cent, is not confined to
our American ports. The influence up
on the shipping trade OF one high market
is world wide. The time during which
these prices have obtained is yet too brief
To allow them TO exercise their ;rue effect
elsewhere, but already a perceptble
buoyancy in the freight markets Of for
eign ports Is apparent. Vessels can easl-
ly sail from China, japan and South
American to California in ballast, if the
inducements held out TO Them in those
countries are not sufficient to prevent
such line of action. And so. too, ia the
carrying trade from Atlantic ports, ship
pers of every kind of merchandise now
have to compete with wheat merchants in
securing the tonnage they require. 1t Is
unfortunate that our American merchants
are not in better position to take advsnt-
age of Ibis change in their favor, but in
consequence of long business depression,
combined with onerous navigation laws,
native vessel,owners have done very it-
tie of late to add to the amount Of tonnage
owned by them, while old age and disas-
ters of one kind and another have during
the past decade cut down by large per-
centage the number of vessels sailing un.
der our flag.

ONE CAUSE OF SUICIDES. The New
York Mail gives FIVE causes of the in
crease in suicides, and of those FIVE all
are insignificant except one-the increase
in Wholesale gambling. TO that, more
than to any Other cause, is due the fact
that SO many take their own lives. We
are nation of reckless speculators in
everything. We gamble on all, and it is
not gambling at faro or with the dice box
that is the worst feature. We have a
fault worse than those, worse in its nature
and much worse in its consequences
gambling in stocks. There is the prolific
cause Of ruin and OF suicide there is the
class of wild and criminal specuatuns
that drives men to disgraceful and cow
ardy death. 1t has lured many poor
victim on 10 his awful end, and it still.
cries, like some horrid monster, for more
human blood. 1t has its victims in all
ranks and conditions of life, low born
and high born, rich and poor, educated
and ignorant, men and women. In this
mad, wild, wicked race for wealth are
thousands aoating, and of these many
sink beneath the wave never to rise again.
The cemeteries have many Of ITS poor,
deluded victims, and are daily receiving
more. Can practice which produces such
fearful results be productive of any good
to State ? Can it aid in its prosperity
or help to Tighten its distress Rather,
does it not darken the sunny days and
render more black the blackest OF nights?

AGENT SHELDoN's TRoUBL rs. Rev
II. b. Sheldon, who was appo inted two
years ago to take charge of the Round
Valley Indian Reservation, Mendocino
county, has been in difficulties ever since
his advent there. His trouble began by
causing the arrest of one Of the numerous
Eunt family OF Covelo, half mile dis
tant from the Reservation. The charge
brought against him was for an attempt
ed abduction of an Indian squaw, on
which he was acquitted by n jury. Soon
after, with two other members of his
family, Hunt assaulted Mr.. Sheldon, Sc
riously endangering his lie. Soon after
his recovery, Mr. Sheldon had the man
Hunt again arrested for numbering a
woman with whom be had been living,
and this time he was found guilty and
sentenced TO State Prison for life. Mr..
Sheldon S principal cause Of complaint is
the manner in which white traders have
been selling liquor to the Indians. Two
men residing Mt Covelo have been arrest
ed for violating the law, but at their trial
they were acquitted. and now threaten to
shoot Sheldon if he ever goes over to
Covelo. This threat, however, is not
needed by Sheldon, who expresses de-
termination to 60 whenever he pleases.-

STAGE RoBBINa. .-LastSaturday night
the down stage from Yreka to Reading
was stopped by an armed highwayman
IA miles above the latter place and rob
bed of the express box and mail. 1t ap-
pears that the same robber than crossed
lots ana on Sunday stopped the Alturas
stage about 35 miles fom Reading and
got away with the mail and express. The
loss is not reported in either case but sup
posed to be small. The robbing of stages
has of late become SO frequent as to at
tract no particular attention. One reason
of its frequency we believe is the made
quate punishment meted out to the road
agents when they happen TO be captured
When a man takes shot. gun and pre-
sents il at the driver, messenger or pas
senger with the stern demand to "stand
and deliver" he surely does so with mur-
der in his heart and no one doubts but
that he will commit murder if necessary
TO accom- plish his thievng designs. Un-
der all such circumstances capital panish-
ment would be the prope; thiLg, as inn
prisonment is not purishnIent for such
murderous Williams. A little j1dicious
hanging would certainly prevent the ex-
pertinent beirg repeated by the same par
ties and cen not fail of beneficial effects.

THE New TRoTJ ER. The wonderful
time made at Oakland on Saturday by
the horse st. Julian has naturally caused
unparalleled excitement among lovers Of
the turf. That the fastest time of Rarus
should be beaten is of itself astonishing
enough, but that this feat should have
been accomplished apparently for the ex
press purpose oRhonoring General Grant,
adds a feature of oppositenrss to the event
which almost places it under the catego~
ry Of mirac les. 1t is most positively as
serted, however, that ST. Julian did make
"A mile in 2:l2s4 and that the track was Of
the orthodox measurement. Had this
wonderful mile been made under any
other circumstances we presume that the
declared time would have been accepted
without any doubt or hesitation. Why
the presence of General Grant should be
regarded as casting any suspicion upon
the record it is difficult to comprehend
but nevertheless there are cynical and
slleptical persons who persist in insinu
ating that the whole transaction was pre-
arranged for the purpose of tickling the
illustrious guest. Ofcourse these doubts
are unworthy, but some people never will
be oOnyincediO the genuineness Of any.

SLEEPING ToGETHER.-Moro qrarTeis
occur between brothers, between sisters,
between hired girls, between clerks ID
stores, between apprentices in mechanics
shops, between hired men, between hus-
bands and wives, owing to electrical
changes through which their systems go
by lodging together night alter night un>
der the same bed clothes, than by aim ost
any other disturbing cause. There Is
nothing that will derange the nervous
system Of a person who is eliminative IN
nervous force, as to lie all night IN bed
with another person who is absorbent IN
nervous force. The absorber will go to
sleep, and rest all night, while the elimi'
nator viii be tumbling and tossing, rest
less aud nervous, and wake up in the
morning fretfu and peevish, fault-fnding
and discouraged. No two persons, no
matter who they are, should habitually
sleep together. One will thrive, the other
will lose. This is the law, and in marri-
ed life is defed almost universally

SHOCKING DEATH.-A telegram from

geuce of the singular death of an Italian

making an opening into the abdominal
cavity. He lay IN this condition some-

CHANGE IN RAILROAD TINE Con-
TEMPLATED,-A change of time in the
arrival and departure of overland trains
is in contemplation. A n. Towhe, Gem
eral Superintendent of the Central Pacific
Railroad, has been endeavoring for some
months to bring about Il change in the
schedule to suit San Francisco people, and
also to meet the wants Of the Union Pa
cifc. 1t is probable that the opening of
the short line to Sacramento, via Carqu-
nez and Benicia, will offer an opportunity
TO make changes to the satisfaction of all
interests. If the programme at present
under consideration shall be carried out,
/ the overland express train will leave San
Francisco at or O'Clock in the after
noon, and run to Sacramento on very fast
time, and to Ogden at much higher rate
of speed than trains are now moved. The
run viii be made to Sacramento within
three hours. The new time card will
bring the overland passengers to San
Francisco about 10 or ii o'clock in the
forenoon.

nous richness Of the gold fields on the
Guinea cos. has not been exaggergate in
the reports received of late. Sir John
Glover's statement, that he had travelled
over districts where one might dig up
gold like potatoes, is all but literally
realized in recent discoveries, which gave
$500 per ton ofquartz at a depth of 90
feet, and SIS on the surface. Their ex-
tent is practically unlimited.
