General Cary on importance.

"Greenbacks, " said Ex-President Gibbs,
of the National Temperance Institute, at
the Cooper Union meeting yesterday,
''are what we want to make this affair a
success. We have persuaded General
Cary to stay with us over Sunday, and in
return we promised to do the fair thing
by him pecuniarily. Now, we appeal to
our audience to assist us" The baskets
were circulated, and the result was Sc.
"Mr. Cary has spent $4,000 in this
work." cried Mr.. Gibbs, "and | want to
know if Sc is all that can be raised"
A voice-It strikes me this is most
pitiable offering to man who has given
and done so much. I'll be one of ten to
raise 800.
"What is your name, sir7'' shouted Mr..
Gibbs, rubbing his hands in gleeful an
ticipation.
"Kellogg," answered the voice.
"Who will join Mr.. Kellogg" said Mr..
Gibbs. But there was no answer.
"How many in the audience will give
$5 each" asked Mr.. Gibbs. There was
no answer
"How many will give 81? Raise your
hands," persisted Mr.. Gibbs. Only one
hand was raised.

We understand that Dick Wright's own
ers challenged Proteine's owners to trot a
race, best three in five, over the Cartilage
course, for a small purse, with a view of
seeing what the horses could do. OF course
Proteine' s owners refused.
The barring of Proteine in the 2:18 class
at Rochester, Utica, Cleveland and Hart
ford is considered an outrage by horsemen
in this section of the country, and we agree
with them. PrOteine's record is 2:l9M
therefore she is entitled to start in the 21S
class. One of the above Associations claim
that the mare was barred because several
parties having horses to enter in this class
refused to enter them unless the mare was
barred, and the Association must work in
its own interest. 1t seems to us that there
is something "funny" back of all this, and
we hope to bring it all out before the sea.

The following may furnish . clue to the

Since 1869 the Amsreosa Indians and
Piutss from the eastern boundary Of
Inyo county would frequently bring into
Cerro Gordo, Lone Pine and Independ-
encs large nuggets Of gold for sale. Az
early as 80 an Indian exhibited ct Lone
Pine one Of the finest specimens Of free
gold quartz ever seen In that country.
Ned Rsddy and other Inyoites were
living at that point at the time, and
questioned the Indian closely. but TO NO
purpose. His answer was similar to
that OF the Indian prospectors since,

say, me find him heap long way o."
It Is not improbable that the new find IL

came, and for years excited considerable
interest. The letter mentioned reads a.
