MANY stories are told of the manner
in which the first discoveries of gold in
California were turned to account by
ingenious spectators, and among them
are the following: In one district the
gold-dust was mixed with large quanti-
ties of fine black sand, which the
miners-most of whom were raw hands
blew off from the gold in their anx-
iety to arrive at the ore itself A keen
old man turned their impotence to ac-
count by shamming lameness, and pre-
tending that in his weakly state he was
not equal to the toll of mining, and was
thus compelled to resort to the poor
and profitless branch of gathering the
black sand, which he sold as snbsti-
tute for emery. He used to go about
on an evening with large bag and a
tin tray, requesting the miners to blow
their black sand upon it, and returning
with it to his hut. BY the aid of quick
silver he was able to extract the gold,
double in quantity to that which was
obtained by the Understanding miner
at the washings.
Tricks of every kind were played
upon newcomers in search of the gold
en- treasures. One story is told of some
American associates who had been
working at an Improbable spot. put
ting up notice that their valuable
site". was for sale, as they were going
elsewhere. A few Germans who had
just arrived offered themselves as pur-
chasers. The price asked was exorbi-
tant. as the proprietors stated that the
"diggings'' returned large amount of
gold, and the following day was ap-
pointed for the Germans to come and
see what could be produced in the
course of q few hours working. The
sellers went during the night and secret
ed the gold-dust in the banks, so that it
would come to light, as a natural de-
post, when the earth was turned up.
The following morning the poor Ger
mans were SO delighted with the appar-
ent richness of the place that they gave
large sum of money and two valuable
gold watches for the property. The
Germans were laughed at; but they
went to work, and actually succeeded
in raising large amount of gold be-
meath the spot where the others had

witted in turn. and endeayored to get
repossession of the place BY force; put
another company Of Germans arriving
thew were obliged to decanp.
An old miner relates this story:
"While working on Rock Greek, the
weather being very hot, we always mao
near us can of water, ana close 10 ~
we put teacup to hold the particles OF
gold as we collected them. One morn
ing as we were at WORK thirsty dlSger
came. by, who asked permission to take
q draught of water, which being grant,
ed, he filled up the cup, and quaffed on
the costly drink, without either drink
inc our healths or leaving the least sed-
iment at the bottom. [ suspected at
first that some trick had been played
upon us, and he had secreted the gold;
but from the evident distress OF the
man, and the earnest manner in which
he promised to repay US when he got
work, L firmly believe that he had swal-
lowed the gold, not having noticed it in
the cup"
Scarcely twenty-three years have
elapsed since the gold yield in Cailfor.
MIA became an undOubted fact, ana
within that period many mill
ions of dollars worth of gold-dust
has been added to the wealth of the
world. But even these results have
been eclipsed by the wonderful discov-
cries of gold in Australia. So exten.
sively are the gold deposits distributed
throughout that great country. that

THE village of SAVOY Fannir
County, Texas, on the TraALcontiaenta
Railroad, was almost literally wiped away
by u tornado on the night of the 2Sth. Nine
persons were almost instantly killed and
over sixty were injured, some ter
or twelve of the latter having died
| within few hours afterward
The village contained q population of about
400. The only buildings of any account
left standing are the Houston Methodist
Church and the Academy, the latter Of
which was transformed into hospital fol
the wounded. Some nineteen business
buildings, including the Railroad Depot
were almost totally demolished. The list OF
the killed is as follows: DR.. Joseph Kearns,
VIM. Sudduth, e. L. Andrews
and child, Sam Gill, Ellie Gala
CHER, T. j. Cox, Miss Matte Best.
Miss Pantha johnson. The more seriously
wounded are Mrs. Mckee, Edna, Robert

Mrs. DR.. Kerns, F. w. Foster, Prof. Hollands
daughter, Hattie johnson, Robert johnson,
Robert Gallagher and wife, Mrs. Sudduth,
Mrs. Dennis Horn, Mrs. M. L. Taylor. A
number of these have since died.
THE Court of Inquiry in the case of
Cadet Whitaker, at West Point, have rem
dered decision in effect that Whittaker's
wounds were self-inficted. Upon the pro-
mitigation of the report Gen. Schofield at
once ordered the arrest of Whitaker, who
will remain under surveillance until his case
is disposed of.
FRANK JONES, Sidney McQuinn and
S. Williams, employees on the Keogh Mail
route, were recently killed by the Indians
on the Little Missouri, and there are re-
ports Of other massacres. The Indians are
thought to have been from the Standing
Rock Agency, on their way to join Sitting
Bull.
AT Texarkana, Ark, on the night of
the 10Th, party Of white men surrounded
the Jail for the purpose of lynching negro
prisoner, named Cromwell, who had COM
mitted an assault upon white woman. A
number Of negroes collected about the Jail
and attempted to thwart the move
ment. Both parties were well
armed and fusilade occurred between
them, lasting for some time. A number
were wounded on each side, three negroes
fatally. 1t was subsequently ascertained
that the negro Cromwell was not in the Jail
at the time of the melee, having been pre-
viously removed in anticipation of mob vio-
lence.
The Apaches recently massacred a
party Of whites in Cooks Canyon, N. Next
co. Five bodies were recovered and brought
into Fort Cummings on the 3Oth. The only
ones recognized were those of Samuel j.
Lyons and young man, his companion.

The anglers theory that fish does
not suffer much physical pain from
hook in his gills, or mental agony
either, for that matter, is supported by
the recent experience of a Stratford,
Conn.,, fisherman. A large trout tore
two hooks in quick succession from the
Line, and was finally pulled up on the
third, with the first two in his stomach.

drouth and loss Of crops. It was estimated
by those present that fully $1,000 people
i'm the locality designated are in immediate
need Of provisions to keep them from actual
starvation. It was agreed that Kansas can
and should take care Of its own poor without
calling upon other States for assistance. It
was determined to form State Central Re-
lief Organization, and committee was ap-
pointed to carry out the plan proposed.
A SEASON of most intense heat, ac-
companied by long-continued drouth, has
prevailed throughout New York, New Jer-
sey and the New England States. On May
q the thermometer in New York City and
vicinity ranged from ninety-two degrees to
one hundred degrees in the shade. The po-
lice report for twenty-four hours showed
thirty-two cases of sunstroke in New York
and Brooklyn, six Of which were fatal. Veg
citation of all kinds was nearly burned up.
On the 18th there were twelve deaths from
sunstroke in New York and Brooklyn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The disgracefnl

ternoon is the all-absorblng topic and town
talk, and cOnjectures are rife as to what will be
