HARD CHEEK.


-
We hear tough story on the miners
up in the mountains, says the Oroville
Mercury. It seems that about two
months ago man named Mills visited
American valley, Plumas county, and
represented himself as mining man
from Boston. He examined large
number of the mines in that section,
expressed himself we'll pleased, and
finally bonded different mines to the
amount of 100000. He then went
down into the valley, introduced him
self to a number Of the farmers, and
stated to them that he had bonded the
mines and as soon as he returned from
Boston would commence work on
large scale; that he did not wish to
damage any one, and if these farmers
whose land lay near the tail race of his
mines would sell, he would buy. By
these representations he procured
number cf ti-...sf,rns at very low
figure. About one week before the
bonds on the mines expired Mills again
put in his appearance, and told the
miners that he had raised the money,
but wished to examine more particu-
ary into the property. The miners
very readily showed him all he wished
and answered his questions concerning
their outlets for tailings, which were
particularly asked after. After Mills
ascertained all the information he de-
sired he went away, and nothing was
heard of him again until three or four
days after the bonds expired, when
written notice, signed by Mills, was re-
ceived by each of the superintendent
of the mines which had been bonded,
that unless they quit dumping on his
farms he would commence suit against
them. The thing was so sudden and
unexpected that the miners have not
got over the shock yet, and are unde-
cided as to what course to take.

The CrOSscutS.

People are wondering why the cross
cuts in Sierra Nevada do not strike ore.
The reason is very simple. They are
not running that way. The drift is east
of the ledge and the crosscuts are rum
ming east. No west crosscuts have yet
been run. If they were run west they
would be sure to strike the ledge where
ore is known to be. This is not wanted
lust at present. The insiders are not
ready and the public must wait.

New steamer for the Lake.

1t is said that Lucky Baldwin will short
Iy place new steamer on the Lake to run
from Glenbrook to the Tallac House. For
some years past no one could go round the
Lake without stopping one night at the
Grand Central Hotel at Tahoe City. The
boat was run for the express purpose Of
aiding the hotel and the result was that
numbers of people who wanted to go to
the Lake remained away rather than to
submit to the imposition. If Baldwin puts
boat on tourists and pleasure seekers can
go direct to Case ade and Fallen Leaf Lakes
and reach the Tallac House on the same
day.

Receiving the halfa dollar he vanished,
agreeing to be back on the following

has seen no such individual as Washoe
Charley, and it is feared that some evil
has befallen him. We shudder to think
that he lost his way in the sagebrush
plains and was murdered by some rival
tribe. Anybody who finds his bones
whitening on thea friend who just
called tells us that he saw him few
minutes before playing poker in a
vacant lot on Nevada street fishing for
the aces and jacks and that his pisca-
torial efforts were uniformly successful,
he having raked in two straight pots.

Women ms Rulers.

The talents displayed by women
as rulers-a position which strangely has
been accorded them in all ages and
stages of civilization have frequently
excited admiration. It has been re-
proachfully said, too, that in this posi-
ton she has been cruel, treacherous and
bigoted as man a be but this only
proves that talents, however rare, can
not supply the place of principles in
woman or man. But mi as philan-
thropists have accomplished most for
their race and won readiest acknowl-
edgments.
Queen Esther's one act, risking her
life for the sake of the people, won her a
place in history for all time. The Ro-
man matron pleading for the salvation
of the doomed city touches every heart.
Queen Isabella, the patron of Columbus,
through lei mistaken Judgment, suffered
the dread inquisition, yet is remembered
for her jealous efforts for what she be-
lieved the good of her subjects. Eliza
beth, of England, because she became a
crock of refuge" to the prosecuted for
conscience sake, has a mantle of
charity thrown over many weaknesses,
and is "good Queen Bess. CHANGING
at examples in humber walks: The
very name of Dorcas has become a
synonym of benevolence. Not only
all England, but America, and the slow

sonal efforts of the large-hearted Quaker
matron, Elizabeth Fry, to make lasting
reforms and render justice in the inter-
est of outcast, condemned humanity.

Bruins Kindness to a Little Outcast.

In the winter of 17O9 Pierre Traiyant,
a little fellow of about 10 years, having
no longer parents or a house In Savoy,
wandered to the province of Lorraine N
search of a relative whom he heard
lived near the palace of Leopold, Duke
of Lorraine.
One bitter night he applied to a poor
woman for shelter. She told him she
had no room for him In her house, but
he might go into the barn. Adjoining
the barn was a hut, where was kept a
tame bear owned by the Duke. Ready
TO perish with cold in the empty barn,
Pierre resolved to trust himself to the
mercy of Bruin.
Timidly he entered the hut and slow
ly approached the animal. Bruin, how
ever, instead of doing him any harm,
drew the shivering child between his
DAVIS and gently pressed him to his
breast. till warm and comfortable he fell
asleep.
The next morning when he awoke, he
found himself still held by the bear, his
head resting on the animals warm fur.
When he arose to go away the bear al
lowed him to leave, only following him
with caresses as far as the chain would
permit. The young Savoyard wandered
all day about the city, but, finding no
trace of his relative, returned in the
evening to Marcos hut, that name
having been given to the bear. Marco
received him with the same kindness,
and for some time that was his nightly
retreat.
What was more remarkable, and
added not a little to the poor boys Joy,
the pear regularly reserved part of his
food for him.
A number of days passed without his
being discovered, then one of the SER
wants came to bring Marcos supper
later than usual, and saw the sleeping
child clasped to his breast. The bear
refused to move in order to take the
food, and rolled his eyes in a furious
manner whenever the man made n
noise that might waken the sleeper.
The report of this extraordinary con-
duct soon spread at court, and reached
the ears of the Prince. Some of the
courtiers, in order to prove the truth of
Marcos hospitality, passed a night near
the hut, and saw with establishment
that the bear never stirred as long as
little Pierre showed IN inclination to
sleep.
When he awoke DIT dawn of day and
found himself discovered, he was very
much frightened and feared he would
be punished. But the bear, caressing
him with great fondness, tried to coax
him to eat what he had saved from the
previous night.
Pierre was at first too alarmed to
comply, but finally did SO at the request
of the courtiers, who afterward conducted
him to the Duke.
When Leopold heard the little Savoy
ards whole history, and how long the
bear had befriended him, he ordered
that the child should have a home at
his court, and the best of care and
training given him.
No doubt he would have risen to q
high position, if sudden death had not
terminated his career a short time after.

Broxheatine Witnesses.

The law is charitable. 1t presumes
that all men will do their duty, and it
holds every man innocent of an alleged
crime until he has been proved guilty.
Lawyers, on the contrary, are inclined
to be uncharitable, especially toward
witnesses who testify against their eli
ents.
Though they have sworn "to tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the TRUTH" the opposing counsel usually
takes it for granted that they will go as
near committing perjury as their fears
will permit.
Doubtless, there is much to be said in
justification of the lawyers course
They see much of the prevarication of
witnesses, and many attempts to con-
ceal one fact, or to e~xaggerate another.
1t is not strange, therefore, that they
should doubt the truthfulness of any
witness, when interested in a cause
and a majority of witnesses are partisans.
Their skepticism is often made often
sively prominent in a cross-examinatlon.
The lawyers manner says, "You have
sworn to a lie and I know it, and the
jury shall know it, too, before I'm done
with you"
Then he puts a series of questions for
the purpose of disconcerting the wit
ness, so that he may contradict himself
and thus spoil his evidence. If the
questions fail to effect the purpose, then
they are reinforced by browbeating.
Daniel Webster once tried this method
upon a clergyman's wife, Mrs. Green
ough, OF Newton, Mass, a self-possessed
and maiestic-looking woman.
The question before the court was that
of a Mrs. Badgers soundness of mind,
she having made a will during her last
sickness. Mr.. Webster, who had been
retained by those who we're trying to
break the will, saw that the testimony
of Mrs. Greenough, she being a witness
for the opposite side, would have great
weight with the jury. He reasoned,
therefore, to spoil her evidence if he
could.
He began his cross-examination By
putting o certain question, which Mrs
Greenough commenced to answer by
saying, at believe"-
1--WE don't want to know what you be
lieve, madam" roared Webster; "w,
want to hear what you know"
"That was what I was about to say,
replied Mrs. Greenough, going right OIL
with a clear answer to the question
Again and again, MIR. Webster, seeing
the effect of her evidence upon cour
and jury, tried to embarrass her.
At length, irritated by his failure t.
ruf1e the self-possessed witness, h
sprang to his feet, drew out his snuff-box
took a pinch, and, holding a large ban
dana handkerchief to his nose, blew
sonorous blast.
"Mrs. Greenough," he asked, Will
the report was vibrating, looking sharpl
at her, twas Mrs. Badger a nea
woman? ?"
"I can't say as to that, sir /; she ha
one very dirty trick"
"What was that?
"She took snuff"
The Court House shook with peais c
laughter from Judge, jury, bar and spec
tators.

1ha Bear and Her Cubs.

care there any people besides Esqui-
maux in the ~snow-country asked
Harry, one day.
"Not many" said I. "There is a
small Danish settlement in Greenland !;
but, with that exception, the Esquimaux
and the bears have the country pretty
much to themselves"
"Tell me about the BEARS" said
Harry. 81 saw a bear last summer at
the White Mountains. He was chained
to a tree"
"But the bear that roams around over
the snow and ice of the Arctic regions,
is much larger and more savage than the
ommon black bear you saw. 1t is a
dingy white color. When full grown
length"
"Didn't I see one in Barnum's menag-
erie?"
"I think not, Harry; for the Polar
bear suffers so much from heat, even in
our coolest winters, that 1t will not live
long in this climate"
There is one thing very interesting
in the bear nature, and that is the affec-
ton of the female for its young. This
has often been noticed.
a Dear WITH TWO cuDS was
pursued across a field of ice by q party
of armed sailors. At first she tried to
urge the young one along by running
before them, turning around and calling
them to her but finding that the pur-
suers were gaining on them, she pushed
and threw the cubs before her, one after
another, until she effected their escape.
Each cub would place itself across
her path to receive the impulse, and
when thrown forward would run onward
until overtaken by the mother, when it
would adjust itself for another throw. F"
"Well, that shows that even a bear
has good feeling" said Harry, "and
some common sense, too. I'm glad that
the sailors did not catch them. What
would those cubs have done without
| their mother?"
