Death acJohn VI. s.a1s~ton. Hiri<fe


II Is with especial sorrow that We record
tn. death az Hon. John VI. LsngstoT. With
the single exception Of Frederick Douglass,
he was the most widely and favorably
known colored man in this country. A
graduate of Oberlin College, in which he
stood very high, lawyer by profession,
gifted with rare elcquence, and unsuliied IN
Character, his loss is deeply to be deplored.
At the time Of his death he represented this
country at the Republic OF Hayti. He fell
at his post in Port gu Prince, victim Of
yellow fever. The intelligence OF his de-
cease caused general sorrow at Washington.

THE SILVER REEF TRAGEDY,
[From the Miner |

from tne MINER
Last Thursday evening about 9 o 'clock,
in front of Justice Phillips office on
Main street, was witnessed one of the
most desperate and fatal shooting affrsys
that has ever occurred in the Reef, and
which for rapidity Of execution, rashness,
nerve, and purpose of death has prob.
ably no parallel on the Pacific Coast.
The case of Bacon & Newell vs.. West
fall and Kirk was proceeding in the
Justices Court when Jack TRULY entered
and took seat with his hat on. Sheriff
Diamond requested him to take his hat
off and TRULY refused to do it, Saying
that Diamond might make him take it
off there but he would like to see him
outside. or words to that effect. Soon
after TRULY left the court room. A few
minutes afterwards q pistol shot WAS
heard on the street and Diamond went
out to see what was the matter. Finding
nothing wrong he returned, but soon
went out again and saw TRULY on the
porch. What conversation ensued be-
tween the men cannot at this writing be
definitely ascertained. 1t is said, how
ever, that Diamond made the inquiry,
Jack, have you got pistol?" TRULY
hesitated for moment and then replied,

ing his pistol. The men were then on
the porch within arms length of each
other and the shooting which followed
was 80 rapid that it was impossible to
count the discharges, which resembled
the roll of bunch of fire-crackers, the
whole twelve shots being fred within
space not exceeding five seconds, both
men being armed with Colts lightning
revolvers. TRULY after emptying his
revolver turned and fell in the doorway
of Miller's saloon. Diamond remained
on his feet a moment longer, discharged
his two last shots in Truby's back and
then fell on the sidewalk. He was i'm
mediately conveyed to the Harrison
House, where after asking for his brother
he expired in about five minutes after
the shooting. TRULY. in dying con-
bition, was taken to the store of J. G.
McManus. and expired in about five
hours. Diamond received three shots in
the region OF the heart and one in the
abdomen. and TRULY was shot in the
side shoulder and back.

The short crops in Europe last year
and this season as well seems to have
stimulated very greatly the production
of cereal crops in this country. The N.
Y. Commercial Bulletin publishes an ar
ticle on the rapid development of agri-
culture in the West, wherein the state
ment is made that the acreage of the
United States under cereal crops has in
creased since 1873 from 74,000,000to to 95,-
000,000 while the increase in population
has not borne any comparison to this
enormous expansion. The Bulletin adds:
off we exported in 1878 235, 900, 900 bush
els of cereals, and are likely to ship an
equal quantity this year, we must not
forget that the average export for the
five preceding years was only 25,0O0,-
600 bushels, and that consequently, with
the return Of average harvests in Eu-
rope, we are liable to lose nearly 100000
900 bushels of the presentexport."

the press as vulgar and low. But it has a
great precedent. In the celebrated de-
bate between Eschines and Demosthenes,
In which was delivered by the latter his
grafton on the crown, a similar contest
was had, except the shooting.
Denosthenes denounced his oppon-
ent thus: "But you, the man of dignity,
who spit upon others, look what sort of
feature is yours compared with mine.
AS boy you were reared in abject pow
erty, waiting with your father on the
school, grinding the ink, sponging the
benches, sweeping the room, doing the
duty of a menial rather than freeman's
son. After you were grown up you at
tended your mothers limitations, reading
her books and helping in all the cere-
monies (referring to certain licentious
and disreputable performances by disre-
putable people), at night wrapping the
novitates in fawn skin, swilling, purify
ing and securing them with clay and
bran, raising them after the lustration
and bidding them say: Bad l have
scaped and better have | found, prid-
ing yourself that no one ever howled so
Justify"
The question under discussion was
whether or not a certain resolution to
honor Demosthenes with golden crown
had been deserved by him and had been
lawfully offered. Eschines attempted to
show that it had not. Demosthenes, to
show that it had, among other things,
alleged that Eschines had been poor
boy and his mother an improper person.
There was no shooting except with
their mouths. Are not the California
Greeks an Improvement on the old ones?
Is not the shooting the most decent and
useful part of such performance?

THE SAN FRANCISCO EXCITEMENT,

1t seems that the San Francisco Chron-
icle published an article imputing disre-
putable conduct to Mr. Kalloch's father,
whereupon Mr.. Kalloch made charge
against the mother of the publishers of
the Chronicle. So far the battle was
about even. One of the publishers of the
Chronicle then shot Kalloch, which made
his ,tallies two to Kalloch's one. Kali
loch could not shoot back, but his friends
were disposed to hang the publisher, and
in case they had done it, the game would
have stood two and two-a tie, until the
rubber should settle it.
This affair is much commented on by

M. SAINTEa ANNE, French engineer
OF excellent professional standing abroad,
seriously proposes to bridge the English
Channel. His plan proposes to build a
line of solid stone piers and on these
place sections of girders, suspension and
tubular structure, to form q roadway.
AS the English Channel is about twenty
five miles broad at its narrowest part be-
tween the two countries, it will readily
be seen that the project of NJ. Sainte
Anne is tolerably comprehensive un-
dertaking, and would be stupendous
work if brought to successful termina-

SOME citizen of the great Northwest
whose pathological researches place him
several lengths ahead of Richard Grant
White, has discovered that the word
"skedaddle" is purely Of Scandinavian
origin. Its orthography among the
Swedes is "skydedehl," and its significa
ton is precisely that of the English WORD
"scud" To the latter word Western
people will be enabled to trace the
parentage of ''scoot" and "scat,' both o
which forcible expressions doubtless were
derived from the same source.

Cured of Drinking.

"A young friend OF mine was cured of
an Unsuitable thirst for liquor, which had
so prostrated him that he was unable to do
any business. He was entirely cured by
