A SLANDERER REBUKED.

Bret Harte has so long been permitted to
defame the early Californians, and his vulgar
caricatures of the California pioneer have so
long been allowed to pass without any word Of
censure or denial, that with many his literary
daubs have been mistaken for artistic pictures
of the Pacific Coast argonaut. One brave and
talented man, proud Of his fellow pioneers,
has condescended to notice this literary scav-
enger, and in the grafton delivered over in
Nevada County, the other day, on the occa-
sion of the Nevada County Reunion, Hon. c.
w. Maslin spoke as follows of the detractor
of noble race of men:
We have suffered too long, without protest,
the ISLANDERS of Bret Harte upon the early Cal
ifornians to pass current as truth His gorged
imagination, fed upon unnatural and dlstem-
pered food, has spewed out its monstrous and
revolving creations as the antiques of the peo-
pie who created this State and opened up her
varied resources. He has pandered to false
and vicious taste, to hoodlum literature, and
created a school of his own, founded upon
falsehood, and without any approach even to
the perspective exaggeratlon which true art
permits With no tenderness for the tragedy
of the lives, no sympathy for the fortitude,
the heroism, or the concrete beauty of the
character or deeds of the early miners, he has
presented them with the outcasts of society,
without law, unacquainted with the English
language, of rude and vicious habits, with few
memories of home, no respect for the present
and no hope for the future. When he deals
with the divine passion of human love, he
prostitutes its name by associating it with the
meretricious union of harlot with her para
mour He does not know, he could not know
if he would, the interior lives, and hopes and
passions of those men. They are here with
US to-day, their sons and daughters are here,
and [ appeal to you if any one character drawn
by Harte approaches in truthful lines the man
of early days

In her early womanliood she has

! Owing 10 thu excitement crpat-
ed III this taWn Cd Yesterday
week: by the barial of body be
lieved to have t,ied of yellow fp-
yer, and brought soinc % miles
for intcrmcnt, it would he a wise
%precantion for the Town Council
at its next session to enact an
ordinance prohibiting the burial
of any corpse, deceased from any
Infectious disease, unless by spe-
cial permit Of the municipal au-
tilorities, to be given only wllcn
the same disease may be rpya~
lent in the limits of the coroora-
ton.
No matter what may he the
private views OF individuals y
the danger to be jucnrred by
such burials, it is the almost uni
versal belief that there is more
danger Of spreading disease by
bodies OF persons dying of infec.
tious malaIies, than by any other
means. and this conviction should
have the consideration it's impor-
lance merits. 1t is apparently
hars! and seems to partake Of in
humanity to deny the right OF
burial in Il public cemetery, but
it is equally 50 to unnecessarily
expose the livinS to attack from
some infectious and dangerous
plague, that may send them pre-
maturely to the Same cemetery
1t is not likely that any serious
objection could be raised against
such an ordinance of the corDora-
lion, as our neighbors on every
side have no hesitation in placing
ii Gordon of shot guns all around
us III case OF any infectious dis
ease appearing here. In fact, but
little hesitation is had among
many people in the surrounding
county, to spread reports of sick
ness here, even when such is false
and sriive to practically quavan-
tine us without any cause whats
ever.
If we are to be p"nncl up in
the day OF misfortune, it would
only be a just policy to prevent
others, III their day OF tribu!at;on

Tho Weekly LcuiSianiGn of
Oct. 4. takes occasion to fill one
column with comments upon the
school question and pitches into
the democratic party because the
schools are not kept open longer
than they are, etc.
Now we are certainly us strong
an advocate Of public schools by
which the masses of children can
obtain a good practical ehuca-
ton as any man, and If it could
be done schools should run not
less than 10 months annually
There is one thing however, to
be remembered that 1t tak>s au
immense amount of money to pay
for the support of these schools
and no people can be expected to
starve in order that other PEG
pies children may go to school
Coioled people have no business
of complaining about the schools
urtil they pay at least their poll
taxes. Until they do that they
should at least be a little less
strict in their criticisms about
public schools.
