ACHUNK OF GOLD.
An Americans Experience I'm
III Australia.


III Australia.
sam Francisco Call. k.-i-H.
One day while ] was at work in the
drift, my partner said:
E''There's something big happened up
above, Tom; / hear a great buzzing
and shouting"
perhaps it's fight" suggested, as |
struck my pick in the soil and unearth-
ed a nugget as large as a walnut.
Perhaps it's find" suggested my
mate.
"There's a find here" said, as l
crawled out of the DRIFT and exhibited
the nugget | had just taken out. Then
| heard the clamOr also; it was like the
murmur OF distant waves. We shook
the rope, and receiving no answer to
our signal concluded that something
important had happened, as our mates
above had evidently left the windlass.
A moment later a shadow appeared
above, and Bills voice was shouting:
Come up, boys, and see the big
find"
"Where is it?" / asked, on reaching
the surface; but l scarcely needed 10
ask, for il must be where the crowd is
collected, some fifty yards distant from
our claim. The crowd was large, and
every moment increasing, but being
broad-shouldered, l pushed my way
through il, and was almost Overwhelm-
ed with establishment at the sight which
greeted my vision; it wasn't nugget,
it was a boulder. No wonder that the
miners were excited. The spectacle
was enough to excite the most phleg-
matte individual that ever breathed.
Ii was a solid mass of gold as large, or
larger, than leg OF mutton, and not
unlike one in shape. This was the
mass which has since become widely
known rs the Welcome nugget. A fac
simile OF it may now be seen in the min
eral department OF the Boston Museum
of Natural history, where the weight Is
given at 200 ounces, and the value as
S4l ,S24.7 20. The further information is
impaired that the nugget is an error.
A larger nugget was found at BendigO
lead on Feb. ., 1869. 1t weighed lS9
pounds ounce Troy, or 300 ounces.
had been mentally congratulating
myself on the discovery OF nugget as
large a walnut; but the sight OF mass of
gold took all the cOnceit out OF me. New
ertheless, was glad that the nugget had
been found, for the claim from which it
was taken was right in the direction in
which We were working, and our claim
was growing rich in ore.
The Welcome nugget, as large as 1t
was, did not enrich the finders, for there
were twelve shareholders in it, and it
brought them less than thousand
pounds apiece; it would have been
lucky find for a couple OF mates. The
man who dug it out tainted dead away
before he unearthed it. When his pick
first struck it he put forth his hand to
pick up the lump; the light from his
cndle shOne upon it and revealed its
nature. To his surprise, it did not
Weld To his touch. Then he began to
feel around it with his hands, and it
grew in size under his exploring digts.
He gave it Il wrench, but it did not
bulge. Selling his pick he began to
dig around it,andas its proportion grew
under his eye, the spectacle Overcame
him, and he iaited from joy.

The effort made by Secretary SHER-
MAN to satisfy the inquiry into his trans
actions with the New York banks does
not silence the agitation OF the matter.
The unpleasant references to it among
his auditors in Ohio is said to have
driven the Secretary from the field, and
made his campaigning in his own State
quite as unproductive rs it was in
Maine. But now that he has an oppor-
tunity to fully state his case, he finds no
defenders of his course. The New York
Times saws:
The Secretary stigmatizes aS false the
statements that the order OF August
18th was issued 10 relieve the banks, or
10 help any one, or because he was in
tereSted i'm any bank, but his cNplana-
ton leaves the transaction pretty much
where il was before. Accepted as the
result oi the best possible motives, 1t
was still the exercise OF 4 discretion
which the treasury ought not 10 possess,
and whose exercise could only DE lustl-
fed by much graver reasons than those
adduced. Once concluded, the terms OF
this or any other bargain between the
treasury and the national banks should
have been strictly adhered To, and the
money market left 10 take care of itself.

A BIG STATE.

A writer who has been visiting the
State Of Texas, has become very much
impressed with the extent OF its terri
tory, and gives some interesting COM
parsons to help one realize what big
State II is. The following is an extract
from his letter:
Texas is the largest State OF the
Union. To say this, however, does not
give the mind fair idea of its vast
area. Nor are we much helped by the
figures when we read that its land sur
face is pa, so square miles. An Ordin-
arv man will not give true conception.
IL is only by a process OF comparison
that this can be arrived at. Texas Is
about a. large Us twelve OF the thirteen
original States, North Carolina beingth
one excluded from the computation. Ii
is .G:}S SQUARE miles larger than the
combined superiices OF Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
and Ohio, with the District of Columbia
added. IL has $4,000 square miles OF
territory more than France, COrSCa in
cluded. The German Empire, with its
accession of Alsace and Lorraine, would
have 10 add nearly $1,000 square miles
10 compete in measurement with Texas.
Indeed, if Texas had not seen fit to
abandon its status as a Republic, it
would to-day have no insignificant place
in the family OF independent sovereign
ties, especially ii the extent OF its
domain were considered.
The census taken in 1870 accredited
Texas with l,SlS,57S inhabitants. The
average annual increase from immi-
grafton since has been over 100000.
Last year the number of emigrants was
over 100000, as the books of the rail
roads penetrating the State, and those of
the steamship lines will abundantly
prove. Ii is safe to compute the present
population at 100000.

TUE Democrats OF Belmont county
hold their convention, for the nomina-
ton Of a representative in the State
Legislature, county treasurer, prose
cutting attorney, commissioner and an
infirmary director, in ZmCH's Hall, at
Bcllaire, to-day. Hon. j. II. ;. TRAIN
ZR, Of Steubenville, has accepted an in
vitation tO deliver an address on the Oc-
casion, and there willbe other speeches
by distinguished Democrats. The gath
ering is looked forward 10 with much in
terest by politicians OF both
parties, on account OF sew
eral questions not of 4 political
character which are expected to come
up i'm the convention, and cOmplicate
the proceedings. Prominent among
these is the county seat removal prob
lem. The Belllaire ami 81. Gainesville
factions may have some difficulty, but it
is to be hoped in the interests of the
party that harmony may prevail. The
action of the body to-day must not be
looked upon exclusively in its local
bearing. Ii has a significance for the
whole State, and delegates should there
fore keep their personal feelings or sec
tional prejudices in the back ground.

The Missing Linck.

1t does not change the character Of the
Nazoo murder, but il Is worthy Of note
that nobody has thought of dragging in
an innocent music teacher in connec-
ton with the tragedy. Ii il had taken
place in Rhode Island We should have
a statement by this time that the shot
which killed Dixon was intended for
some foreign professor.

The most noticeable and, at the same
time, the most creditable object that
strikes the eve of the visitor to the little
city Of Steubenville, is her new Court
House. 1t will, perhaps, compare with
any in that State, and we will not make
acomparison with any in this State, out
of consideration for our good name and
fame. But it cost money-about $780,
COO, We understand. Yet it is better to
invest that sum in a magnificent build
ing like that than to run up an insight
" structure that will always be monu-
mcnt to the meanness and lack of pub
lie spirit in county. During the sol
diers reunion the new building was the
headquarters for West Virginia troops.

War Pensions.

The recent action of Congress has created
a new interest in the subject of war pen
sons-a matter of vital interest to those i'm
mediately concerned, though little under
stood by the general public. 1t is now
nearly fourteen years since the close of the
war of the rebellion, and yet the list of those
who receive pensions on account Of services
rendered in that war by themselves or their
husbands or fathers is longer, and the an
nual charge greater than at any previous
period. Both the plumber and amount of
pensions paid had been decreasing for some
years, until the recent legislation which en-.
larged both. Invalid pensions are paid at
various rates, according to the degree of dis
ability. The lowest is twelve dollars year,
and highest 1864, for total disability caused
by the loss of both eyes, both legs or both
arms, or other such injury as totally dis.
qualities the injured person for physical ex-
ertion. AT the beginning of the present
fiscal year 1920 persons were in receipt of
invalid pensions, of whom 2S,232 received
VIZ yodi, loCclNcu " iuu dDOut
the same number 800. The next largest
number, 1892, were paid S216 each, and
next in order come 1874 who received 1924.
The number who received S2SS each was
6,3S6, and the number receiving 1876, Sl2O
and Sl44 respectively, was between four
Thousand and five thousand EACH To 531
was paid the smallest amount, Sl2 each /;
and eleven received the highest rate, or
1864 each. Since the enactment of the re-
cent arrears bill it is expected that the an
nual expenditure for pensions will increase
for some years, reaching its highest point
perhaps in the year 1884. The figures given
above relate to invalid pensions only. The
pensions paid to widows and orphans in
crease the annual aggregate very largely.
One class OF pensioners is diminishing very
fast in numbers, and will soon disappear
This class consists of the orphan children of
deceased soldiers, who are dropped from the
rolls because of attaining the age when they
are presumed to be able to support them
selves. At the beginning of the present
fiscal year their number was 35434. Dur
ing the year 1921 will be dropped from the
rolls, and in three years more none will
be left.

Generous Tribute,

1t is pleasant to know that the House of
Representatives has chosen so worthy an
officer as Speaker Randall, and no less pleas
ant to say it. Mary Clemmer, the lively
correspondent of the New York Independent,
thus speaks of Mr. Randall in one of her re-
cent letters: "No man of any party ever
went out of the Speakers chair at the close
of Congress carrying with him more gen
uine goodwill from men of both parties
than Speaker Randall. His best qualities
have shown conspicuously therein and have
borne emphatic fruit. Clearheaded, clean
lived, in this conspicuous and exacting seat
he has proved to be not demagogue, but
man of keen judgment and generous heart,
strong enough and just enough to rise from
the lower strata of partisanship into the
wider and higher realm of fair judgment and
real craftsmanship. In Speaker
Randall's kindly characteristic words of
parting with the Forty-ffth Congress two
lines deserve to live. They are the key to
his own entire course as Speaker of the
House of Representatives. He said, Long
service has taught me that hate and revenge
never succeed as well as truth and justice. ;"

A COwardly Murder.

The shocking story is told in dispatches
from Texas, of the brutal murder of Mr.. b.
c. Porter, New York actor of high repute,
and the dangerous wounding of Mr.. Barry
more, of the New York Diplomacy Combine
ton troupe, which is calculated to excite
feeling of indignation against community
in which such dastardly crimes, by the in
difference with which they are viewed, are
rendered only too common. A rufianly de-
tective enters the lunch room of a railroad
hotel at midnight and finds there lady in
company with two gentlemen, awaiting the
arrival of the train. He insults the lady and
is demonstrated with by her companions,
who inform him who she u.s. when he in,
stantly, Texas fashion, whips out his re
volver, shoots Mr.. Porter dead and danger
ously wounds Mr.. Barrymore, both of whom
are unarmed. The dispatch states that tn,
rutIian is in jail, but the probability is tha
before many days he will be at large, ant
will again fire himself up with bad whiskey
the customary stimulant of Texan bravado
and put bullet into some other inoffensiv
man, unless meanwhile he should himsel
fortunately be laid dead in his boots by on
Of his own amiable compatIiots.
