A copy of the Southern Utah Times,
dated November 18th, came to hand last
night with a marked item containing the
news Of the death of an old-timer on the
Coast, and n whom some of our readers
will remember. 1t reads as follows "At
4 o'clock yesterday morning, a man named
Charley Cramer died suddenly in one Of
the Kennedy houses, situated in the rear Of
Dodd's butcher shop. Mr.. G. was a man
about 40 years Of age, and an old time res
ident Of Petaluma, Cal. He has been q
resident OF this camp about two months,
and during half Of the time worked for
MIR. Reher, proprietor Of the brewery. On
his arrival here he called on DIR. Norton,
who made a diagnosis of his case. and dis
covered his disease to be a combination Of
Bright's disease Of the kidneys, and fatty
degeneration of the heart. The doctor
knowing his case to be o hopeless one, told
him he could not effect a permanent cure.
but would do what he could to strengthen
him; at the same time advising him to re-
turn as soon as possible to Salt Lake or
California. After working one month he
became very weak and resigned his posi-
ton voluntarily. During his decline he
refused to act upon the advice OF his
friends to guard his health. This neglect.
no doubt, fastened his demise. and freed
him from the bonds OF misery. During
his illness he was kindly cared for by Mr..
Reher and others connected with his es-
Enlistment. Mr.. C. claimed to have
friends and acquaintance in Eureka, Ne
vada. he having lived in that camp previous
to his arrival here.

varnish ON the church Pews.

There was the queerest scene at n OF
the churches last Sunday, says Peck's Sun.
1t seems that during the vacation the seats
had been newly vanished, and somehow
the varnish was not right, as it was terri
bly, sticky. You know when you pull any
thing off sticky varnish that it cracks.
Well, the audience had all got seated, when
the minister got up to give out the hymn,
and as the basement of his trousers let
loose OF the varnish of his chair, there was
q noise like killing a fly on the wall with a
palm-leaf fan. The minister looked around
Ut the chair to see il he was all present,
and that no guilty mans pants escaped,
and read the hymn. The choir rose with
a sound of revelry, and after the tenor had
swallowed q lozenge, and the bass had
coughed up a piece Of a frog, and the alto
hemmed, and the soprano had shook out
her polonaise to see if the varnish showed
on the south side, the audience began to
rise. One or two deacons got up first, with
sounds like picket firing in the distance on
the eve of a battle, and then q few more
got mp. and the rafting Of the %unyielding
varnish sounded as though the fight was
becoming more animated, and then the
whole audience got on its feet at once,
with the sound of rafting m~usketry. The
choir sang Hold the Fort" When the
orchestra had concluded the people sat
down gingerly, the services were short.
and all went home praying for the man
that painted those seats.

Across Death Valley.

A correspondent OF the Inyo Independent
writes from Panamint, Oct. 21st, as fol-
lows: about the frat Of this month six
men left this place for Arizona, with two
horses and five or six jacks, and it has
turned out to be another Of Death Valley
horrors. The names OF the parties who
started were Joseph Brunell. J. Dannet.
Simon vivier. Henry Atari. Thos. Wilson
and Henry Shaffer. They started across
Death Valley. opposite Postofice Springs,
and got lost the first day ont, with no
water. Two Of them. Shaffer and Biunell,
got back to Panamint the second day,
Dannet got back the third, but found
water the day before and brought back a
canteen to his comrades. After telling
them where the spring was he struck out
for Panamint. Now for the suffering Of
the remaining three: Vivier started in
the direction toward Panamint, and the
other two on acro-s the valley. In the
meantime Judge Hanson and an Indian
started out with one Of the returned men
to try and find them. The party returned,
and Indian Tom started out on horseback
with o jack packed with q five-gallon keg Of
water. He struck their trail and found
Vivier had made toward the Panamint
mountain, SO he followed up the trail OF
Tom Wilson until he came to q spring, and
finding that Wilson had got water and
gone on towards Resting Springs. he turn
ed back and found the trail Of Henri
Allari, and after following him about
twenty miles found the poor fellow dead,
and with not q stitch OF clothing on. ex-
cept a hat. He then went back to hunt up
Vivier, and came across him in the foot
hills on the east side Of the Panamint
Range, and by good management brought
him into Panamint. Vivier had been five
days without water or provisions. The
Indian went back Immediately TO hunt up
Wilson, and said he would be gone twenty
days or find him. vivier has but little
hopes Of t~he.Indian finding Wilson alive,
as Wilson is very near-sighted and could
not see but a few yards; still, he has a
great deal OF endurance, and will live il
any one could. Many here think that
Wilson has found his way into Resting
Springs. I will not attempt to pen the
horrible tales Of suffering that the sur
vivors relate"

LUXURIES.

With the general revival OF domestic
prosperity in the United States, incl
dent to the success Of the Republican
financial policy, there has occurred
q remarkable development of the taste for
all manner of luxuries, including fine
wines, foreign fruits and condiments. jew
elry, silks, satins. precious stones, costly
finished robes, fancy glassware, porcelain.
and the immense variety of things known
as fancy goods. In consequence of this
demand, the im%portations of all descrip-
tons of Injuries continue to be on a rap
idly advancing scale, and it really seems
as though the general taste for Ligh living
had been resumed precisely at the point
where it suddenly disappeared after the
panic Of 1873. Five years of universal
bankruptcy and of severe general and
pinching economy have wiped out an inn
generally in q very good condition to afford
a liberal outlay in all departments Of the
trade in luxuries. This is O traffic which
is not affected in the slightest degree by
any amount or moralizing. lecturing or
discussion. 1t is the product Of an adj
vanced civilization, and of increasing null
titudes of the rich, of the innumerable ia
c~ilities for the rapid acquisition Of for
tunes and Of the tumultuous movements
OF the busy and changeful life in this new
world of ours. 1t is also in some degree
the product of a cultivated taste arising
from European travel, from the irrepressi-
BILE enterprise of foreign and domestic mer-
chants, and from the enormous supera-
bundance Of capital vainly seeking employ
ment. 1t is worthy Of special remark, that
Just in proportion as the trade in any de-
partment Of Injuries becomes permanent
and extensive, domestic industry turns its
attention to producing articles in competi-
ton with the foreign ones. This ia especial
~ the case with all classes of dry goods,
fancy wares, glass, china ware, porcelain,
fancy furniture and upholstery, toilet arti-
American skill and capital in the manufac-
ture Of fine dress goods. silks, watches and
iewelry, is too well known to our readers
to need rehearsal here at this time. In
former years the trade in luxuries was
thought to be largest and most lucrative
in our dealings with the southern States, on
account of the extensive command Of cash
and credit by the planters Of that section.
Since 1860 the wealth of the north and
west has become SO vast that the demand
| for luxuries in these States Is enormously
in excess of any possible increase Of the
| southern trade. The growth of such cities
as Boston, New York, Brooklyn. Philadel-
phia, Baltimore. Pittsburg. Cincinnati,
Chicago, Louisville and San Francisco. be-
sides being fairly typical Of the correspond
ing development Of these States, is Of it.
self far ahead Of any possible consumption
OF luxuries in the planting section OF the
South. 1t would be quite practicable. how
ever, for the southern States to become pro
dncers of q portion. at least, Of these luxu'
ries. a. well as consumers. This has al
ready been seen in the progress Of the or
ange culture in Florida.

Ruby Hill to the Front-Four Chi
ShOS-A Race for Eureka.

Ruby Hill ca the FrOnt-Four Chi.
manner shOt-A Race for Eureka.
About 10 o'clock last night there was a
rush Of Ruby Hill Celestials into Eureka,
and from the amount Of gibberish and the
wounded, it was at first thought Ruby Hill
had risen-Union Guard, Centennial
Guard and the 'smasses Of the people," to
wipe out the leprous gang.
About Chinatown, in Eureka, were
gathered knots OF Mongolians, viewing
the gunshot wounds on as many as three
or four OF their brethren. One was shot
in the hand and feshy part Of his left leg,
and the others were more or less peppered
with bird-shot.
No conclusion could be drawn from the
Chinese jargon, but later reports are to
the effect that quite q party Of the young
bloods on the Hill got hilarious in the
early part OF the evening and were firing
~salutes, or were prepared TO do whether
in honor OF Griff's marriage or not is not
stately. and as q crowd Of them we're pass
ing a Chinese howell, a stone was ratified
upon ther roof thereof and, Of course, out
poured the residents in a squad. Just
about that time, o shotgun in the hands
Of some one was discharged, the shot tore
up the ground in front Of the Cinnamon
and some of the charge scattered into the
lower extremities Of the "japs."
Some one inclined to smile that the af-
fair was an accident. and others wonder
what the boys would be doing with loaded
s%hofguns.
1t is not at all improbable that in an i'm
promptu serenade any party would stop to
arrange blank cartridges when they had
plenty on hand loaded witw small shot;
and again there ia hardly q reason for .
small party Of young men to start in with
malicious intent to skill off the Chinese
with one gun in the crowd, and with bird
shot at that.
1t was too late last night to get the full
particulars, consequently we can only re-
cord the affair in an imperfect manner.
One of the injured parties claims that
Patsy Green was among the aggressive
party, and says he knows him because
they were both in the employ of Mr.. Tro-
fatter.

city an American Party which the pro-
moters hope will become a National politi-
cal party before the next Presidential cam
paign."' This matter has been openly
talked Of on the Comstock for months. but
was considered too idle for even an item.
The Stock Report outlines the policy Of
the supposed to be forthcoming "Ameri-
can Party Citizens who love their
country are to be called Americans" and
to be ~intrusted with the government; for
eign-born citizens who identify themselves
fully with their adopted country, will form
q strong element Of the party.
