THE veteronS of the war are passing
away. Yesterday the name of General
Ambrose E. Burnside was added to the
number of those who have pitched their
tents on the other side. He died at
Bristol, Rhode Island, of spasms of the
heart. His death was sudden and un-
expected.
Gen. Burnside was native of Indiana,
and graduated at West Point. He re-
signed his commission in 1852 and COM
menced the manufacture of breech-
loading rifle of his invention in Rhode
Island
When the war broke out he led a
Rhode Island regiment to the field, COM
manded brigade at Bull Run, then an
expedition to North Carolina, was pro-
NOTED Major General, succeeded Nc
Clellan in command of the Army of the
Potomac, and after the reverse at Fred
ericksburg, resigned, and in 1868 was
sent to the Department of Ohie, where
his most conspicuous act was the arrest
of Vallandigham for reasonable utter
ances.
His subsequent expedition into East
Tennessee, his retreat on Knoxville be-
fore the advance of Longstreet, the siege
that followed, and his relief by Sherman,
are familiar matters of history. He af-
terward took part in the siege Of Peters
burg, and there ended his military ca
reer.
In 1866 he was elected Governor of
Rhode Island, visited Europe in 1870,
and was present at the siege of Paris,
and in 1874, after his return, was elected
to the U. S. Senate to succeed Sprague,
whose term expired March 4. 1875.
Such is brief outline Of the career of
a man who, had his capacity as sol
dier been equal to his patriotism as a
citizen, or his ability as statesman at
all compared with his integrity as
man, would have stood in the foremost
rank Of the great men of this country.
1t is to be said of Gen. Burnside that
honors were thrust upon him. Willing
to serve his country in any capacity, he
was promoted rapidly, and put at the
head of the Army of the Potomac in the
face of his own modest remonstranceS.
The result showed that he had a more
correct estimate of his qualifications for
the command than those who thrust it
upon him.
In his civil career he has stood among
tho highly respectable and honorable
rather than among the, brilliant and
slihing spirits of the Senate. He did.
not initiate, but he steadily supported
whatever measures he approved, and
-yrn to the point Of obstinacy.
Large hearted, magnanimous, modest
even to the point of self depreciation,
Gen. Burnside made no enemies on per-
sonal grounds, and lived respected and
beloved by all who knew him.-Cin.

Reformation Of Inebriates.

Tbs treatment Of insanity and inebri-
ETY. is one Of the subjects that has been
under consideration at the health de-
partmsnt Of the Social Science Congress.
now in session at Saratoga. A paper
read by DR.. Claiming on this subject
contains some suggestions that may
well be- considered. The main idea is
that the drunkard is, properly speaking,
an insane person. As DR.. Chalmers
saws, He Is combination Of the luna
tic and the moral imbecile, and often the
criminal" Again, he says: THE insane
man. we do not scruple to deprive Of his
liberty, but in what case could there be
moro need Of protection or more justii-
cation for treatment in q proper place
than that OF the drunkard?" e .
This means-if it means anything
that the drunkard should be taken into
custody just as lunatic should be, as 4
protection to himself and to others.
That.a drunken man while drunk is re-
garded as temporarily insane>is shown
by the fact that be is arrested and lock-
ed up. The question is whether man
who Is repeatedly and habitually drunk
should be treated at reformatory for
his recovery or merely punished az
house of correction or work-hodSe. To
send the habitual drunkard up for sixty
days" is too long for punishment and
too short for reformation. IL drunken
ness has broken down his moral powers,
Imprisonment at hard labor seems Sc
we're. for it Furnishes 3 disease. Yet. on
the other hand, to make drunken va
grants too comfortable Is 10 put q premi-
um on trampS.
T.. x-x, - kl,a okakas fhora u q Y,ro-
vision by which an habitual drunkard
may be placed under the care of guar
dian, and deprived of the custody OF his
own property. But this is very rarely
done. The friends of the inebriats
shrink from infiicting such disgrace
upon him. They have to look on and
see him sinking step by step into power
ty and degradation. II, however, the
state should step in to rescue the man
from himself, and rescue his neigh6ors
from the possibility of injury by him
during his fits OF drunken frenzy. 1t

MANY farmers find too much land
to he drag on their prosperity. 1t is
there to be in some degree cared for, to
be fenced, to be kept up. AS long as it
can all be well cultivated it is all right;
but when a vast stretch of acres lie un-
used or unproductive, they had better
be sold to some one who can give them
attention. Small farms are apt to be
the best cultivated, and it is well known
that few acres well titled and thor
oughly fertilized are more profitable
than several times the number partially
neglected.-(Pitts. Stockman.

of questions pertinent to the coming
election, among which are the following:
do the people Of Ohio want to see an
other idiotic, violent. and dangerous
O'ConIor Legislature clustering around
at Columbus again? Would they like to
see our penal and charitable institutions
made the prey of hungry political hacks?
Would they like to see the great State of
Ohio gerrymaudered by Democratic
Legislature. and. rs a closely following
result, the next Congress turned over to
the Democratic party2" These ques
tions come to every good citizen of the
State, and press for solution. Let them
be answered at the polls In October by
an overwhelming negative vote.

Rlarkefn for Miner.

The complaint is made that the Eastern
cities offer o better market for mines than
San francisco. II this be we'll founded,
says the Stock Report, it shows q state Of
affairs which should not exist. There is
no lack Of capital in this city. and some Of
the largest and best founded fortunes here
have been made directly and indirectly by
mining. We do not see why a good mine
should go begging here but the trouble
that besets mine owners is that q poor
mine can be sold in the East and only q
good mine can find a purchaser in San
Francisco. There are many men who own
prospects which they have deceived them
selves into considering mines. They be-
lieye they are mines and consider they are
doing a capitalist a favor in offering the
properties to him at high prices. But the
capitalist and his money is not soon part
ed. If such were not the case, wherefore
would the man of shekels be a capitalist ?
A man will come here from one Of the
mining districts, offering to sell what he
considers q good mine. he has no ac-
uuaintances, but is possessed with an idea
that everybody ought to see the thing just
as he does, and because moneyed men fail
to take him without q grain Of salt. he de-
clares that San Francisco is no market for
mines. But let him make it known that
he has o property Of merit-make 1t known
through q newspaper that makes mines
and mining a specialty-and ask o reason
able price for the property, and he need
not 60 farther than San Francisco for a
customer.

The Comstock Research,

In the midst Of q business boom that is
almost continental, says the Daily Report,
California remains ~stagnant. What will
be its condition when the existing boom
shall subside, as Of course II will? We
shall then have to depend on our mines.
In former days they bridged US over the
chasm into which our sister States sank.
California was saved by her gold. and by
her neighbours silver, from the hard times
the other States had to endure. But,
strange to say, there are many Californians
who are now enemies of mining, and re-
joice in seeing 1t crippled and in the hope
Of seeing 1t actually killed. We hope the
necessary bonanzas will be discovered be-
fore the railroad collapse takes place, or
our condition-nothing too good, even
now-will be very bad indeed. The future
Of California for the next ten years, and
perhaps longer, depends now upon a Com
stock development. Without that, mining
will be more or less under a cloud here.
OF course, the Eastern States are gradu-
ally acquiring vast amounts OF Pacific
Coast mining property but that makes no
boom for California, and a financial crisis
in New York would at once check the west
ward flow of capital. Taking all these
things into consideration, the search now
going on in the lowest levels of the Com
stock is a most monotonous one for the
whole coast, and involves the future OF this
city for many years to come.

sign. or nusine.. Prosperity.

An observant gentleman says he can
always tell when a young man in business
has reached the point OF stability and per-
manence by glsncing at his stock in trade,
his manner Of doing business, and more
than all by noticing II he has commenced
to advertise. When O man recently set
tied in business, who has commenced
quietly and with no noise or effort to Sc
cure customers and establish trade. finds
that he has friends enough IL he will emily
summon them to show their friendship,
he proceeds at once to issue his call in the
shapeof an advertisement, and by keep
ing all the trade he secures and adding to
IL from week to week he makes his success
a matter beyond question. Our observant
friend says. on the other hand, that he has
noticed in many cases when o business
man ceases entirely to advertise, this action
precedes a decline and often Q failure in
business. There Is no questioning the
fact that advertisements constitute . good
barometer Of the state Of trade in any
community.

L OF
How a Mine is worked.


The New York Financial and Mining
News tells the following good story:
"I wish you would tell me all about the
way men get gold and silver out of a mine,
my dear" said a lady in Brooklyn to her
husband the other evening, as he peeled off
his coat and sat down in three chairs for
the evening. ST always thought they
bored into the ground with a pay streak
until they found the shaft, and then they
drifted for the assessment, and when they
found that they just put q blast in the in
dications and sailed the dump. Now it
SEEM that you don't do it that way. You
follow up the micacious slate until you
strike the bias fold. Then you see if you
can find a color that matches the copper
stained trilobites. that you prospect, and
you"
"No, 1 must stop you there. You are
getting q little off the vein. You probably
have the right idea, but you are using
terms that are not correct. After they get
the wall rock on the dump and pinch out
the night shift, they salt the contact and
blast out the vertical chilblain. Then they
drift for the blossom rock, baled hay and
poverty till they strike the v~aricose vein.
After that it is q short job to put on the
bias-fold and sample the stockholders
where bituminous duplex bisects the bro
caded porphyry and scallops the gouge
with cross-eyed shirrings and b~icarbonate
Of bilious collie, interlaced with moire-an-
tique wads of free copper and free milling
e~rysipelas. This is not always the case,
however, for directly or inversely, perhaps
more or something less, as the case may be.
and still we might or might not, according
to whether we did or not, but also besides,
if not always, as already described, per-
haps, yet / wouldn't be positive about any
thing which might be doubtful"
Then he laughed D cold, hard laugh and
went to bed. II thousands would only ex-
plain these things to their wives, how much
pleasanter our homes would be.

The Carson Index says it learns that the
affairs of the Nevada & Oregon Railroad
are not prosperous. The settlements on
the completion of the first five miles are
by no means complete, and the capitalists
are said to be disappointed at the under
estimated cost. Mr.. Moore started East
quite suddenly night before last. Some OF
the Directors are reported to have driven
over the limo some five or ten miles beyond
the present terminus and finding the route
difficult and expensive brought matters to
a focus upon their return to Reno. 1t was
reported yesterday in Carson that the
white laborers had been discharged, and
some Of them unpaid, and that the inten-
ton was to hire Chinese for the work II it
is proceeded with.

None Too warm.

The weather SO far this season has been
the most delightful ever experienced on
the Range. At 40 time has the thermome-
ter risen above 81 degrees in the shad 9,
and only twice to that hight. The heat
cot to that figure yesterday afternoon at 8
O'clock, and the same temperature was ex-
perienced one day about a fortnight ago.
Towards evening, however, the atmosphere
always shows q delightful change, and
drops from 10 to IA degrees. Last evening
at 4 O'Clock the thermometer indicated 70
deerees-Summer heat. During the night
II ranged a few degrees lower. There is
no place in the Union that can make a bet
ter showing. and even the lovely climate
Of California, where skies Of tropic blue are
a boast, cannot enter into rivalry with the
Base Range. The July excursionists will
have an opportunity to note this fact. and
we would advise ladies going to San Fran
cisco to take their seal skins with them.

Big lin Heard From.

James f. Grennan and VIM. Kennedy.
who left here a week ago for the upper
country, have been heard from by a friend
in Eureka. The boys went overland and
camped at Humboldt Wells on the 21st.
At this point Big Jim, who is an old news
paper man (having in his day pulled the
lever Of a hand-press), squatted on buff
falo chip, and with an empty fruit can in
his lap for a table, indited the following
characteristic letter to his friend George {:
"We arrived here this evening and feel
like fighting cocks. The mustangs are
holding out splendidly. We had a good
lot of fun on leaving Eureka. You know
Bill carried the lunch you put up for US.
Well, as we were passing the Eureka Con.
Stag dump he remarked that if his horse
would cut up any capers he would break
his head with the can Of peaches. Just
then the horse made a plunge, bumped his
back, and away Bill went. He Lit head
first in the dust and dirt about Is feet off.
/ caught the mustang before. he got away,
and as Bill scrambled to his feet he was q
sight that would have made a fence post
laugh. The lunch was all over the road. I
never laughed 80 much since the Black
Diamond minstrel show. Bill finally
mounted the bucking brute, and here we
are, having averaged over 80 miles q day.
They call it 100 miles from this point to
Wood River. The roads have been good so
far, and we have had a good time. espec-
tally with the milk. Our route is the boss
for the Tactical. 1t is dished up in seven
different languages, and IS pure as a maid
ems smile. 1t wouldn't do any harm for
some Eurekan to get a sample Of the milk
we got and show it to the dairymen on the
Range, to see il they recognized it. Ex-
pect to be in Wood River in five days from
tonight, from which point I will again in
hict you."
