HE MINES OF ATLANTA.-Ben. Da
Wis, who returned last Saturday from
that place, gives a glowing account of |
the extent and richness Of the loca-
tons on the famous Atlanta lode. The
Monarch and Buffalo companies are
working strong forces, and the mines
are producing fabulously rich ore.
The Buffalo company's mill was shut
down short time ago, but will be in
operation again by the 18th Of this
month. The Monarch mill is now "
ing idle. There is no rooster at this
mill, and without roasting, the ore
carries off with it more than sixty per
cent. Of the silver. This company
have had good deal of their ore
roasted at and put through the Buffalo
mill. Petit, the Superintendent, will
have rooster up at the mill next
year. The Buffalo company have gone
down in their mine depth of 600
feet, and it continues good all the

at work for this company. The Ia

very promising mine. The mill that
has been purchased for this company
will not be brought in this fall. The
company cannot secure teams to haul
it from the railroad. 1t would req

that number could be engaged it would

CURIOUS ANIMAL pREso1ENcE.

1t is stated by an Italian writer on the
recent earthquake at Ischia that the ami
mails on the island showed the most posi-
tive foreknowledge of the catastrophe. He
says "Some minutes before the shocks
were felt the oxen and cows began to

" rushing in confusion one on the other,
tried to break the wicker work of the
:" folds. The dogs howled terribly, the
geese and fowls were alarmed, and made
"much noise. The horses which were fas-
" tened in their stalls were greatly fright
ened, leaped up and tried to break their
matters. Those which were proceeding
"on the roads stopped suddenly and
"snorted in very strange way. The cats
"were frightened, and tried to conceal
themselves, or their hair bristled up
wildly. Rabbits ard snakes were seen
{" to leave their holes birds rose, as if
scared, from the places on which they
" had lighted, and fish left the bottom of
" the sea and approached the shores. Even
ants and reptiles abandoned, in clear
" daylight, their subterranean holes in
great disorder, many hours before the
" shocks were felt. Some dogs, q few
" minutes before the first shock took place,
" awoke their sleeping masters by barking

to warn them of the impending dan.

statements are true they are extremely

That animals are often able to foretell

foresight is mystery it is less marvellous
than the provision of earthquakes. If

TIE CARLYLE REACTION.

a Carlyle reaction has set in violently
since the poor old man died, the osten-
sibly melting cause being the volumes OF
Renaissance so hastily and rashly given
to the world by Froude. And now the
able editors and reviewers whom he satir-
lied when he was alive, are prancing round
his remains, eleyating their sonorous
voices, and lashing out at him with their
cruel and cowardly hoofs. 1t is some
satisfaction to reflect that no author ever
cared less for this sort of attack, and that
Carlyle has left his views upon the critic
breed in language which will out
live all their present yelpings. They
are glad to have found that he
was after all very human in his
weaknesses, and that his chronic dyspepsia
had made him in his latter years extrava-
gantly querulous and morose. But after
all is said in dispraise OF him, the fact re-
mains that he bestowed upon English lit
erature many works which will not soon
perish, and that he exercised an influence
over his generation which, however eccen-
trio it may have been, was thousand fold
more wholesome than the miserable maud
lin dilletanteism which seems in these days
to have taken possession of art and litera-
ture together, and TO have almost eliminated
earnestness and clear purpose from the

THE BEAcoNsFIELD MONUMENT.

Mr.. Gladstone has at last announced in
Parliament his intention to propose a
monument to Lord Beaconsfeld in West.
minister Abbey. No doubt the Queen has
signifed her personal desire that this honor
should be paid the memory of the late
Premier, for she entertained a very high
opinion of his talents and craftsmanship.
And though there will be something anoma-
lous in the presence of such monument in
such place, it cannot be half so singular
as the actual fact of the political success
and supremacy of Benjamin Disraeh during
the past half century. 1t will not do for
the English who honored and accepted this
man while ne was living to protest that he
ought not to be remembered now that he
is dead. Whatever of incongruity there
may have been in his career, it was an
incongruity for which the Tories at least
must be held fully responsible Lord
Beaconsfield in fact was completely
naturalized, and for good or for
evil he must henceforth be accounted
one Of England's foremost rulers and poll
ticians. II this estimate in any way dis
credits the generation that made much of
him, so much the worse for the generation
But it must abide by the course it has
marked out for itself, and it cannot re-
pudiate what is neither more nor less than
the best evidence of its own tendencies
and dispositions. Foreigners havea right to
criticise and decry Lord Beaconsfeld, be-
cause they never set him up for political
model. But half the English people at
least have for fifty years shown that they
believed in him and his methods, and
therefore they owe him all the honor they
ever pay to the men whom they select for
leaders and teachers and exemplars.

MAKING HIS MARX.


We are pleased to see that Senator Miller
is rapidly making his mark at Washington.
In the short period during which he has
occupied his seat he has accomplished a
great deal. The break of the deadlock in
the Senate appears to have been principally
II not entirely due to his energetic action,
and the credit of the ratification of the
Chinese treaties unquestionably belongs to
him chiefly. 1t is very unusual to find so
young a Senator taking SO prominent a
part in important measures, but it is al.
ready evident that General Miller has como
to the front for the sufficient reason that
he possesses the ability to do what he un.
dertakes, and that is a capacity which al.
ways finds its own place. The indications
are that Senator Miller will prove one of
the most capable and valuable members of
the Senate, and that he will do honor to
California and at the same time fully sus-
tain the high reputation he had earned
before he was sent to Washington.

MARRIAGE OF A sAcRAMgNTAN.
lSan Jose Mercury

Mr.. George w. Smith, OF Sacramento,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. II. G.. Smith. and
Miss Eva NJ. Wing, daughter of w. Fl.
and Mrs. NJ. c. Wing, were united in mar
riage yesterday at the residence of the
brides parents in East San Jose. The
ceremony was performed at 7:30 A. NJ, by
the Rev. Mr.. Sterette, pastor of the M. E.
Church at Berryessa. The marriage was a
quiet affair, there being present only the
brides parents and few intimate friends.
Mr.. Smith is an excellent young man, with
steadiness of purpose, and well-fxed, as
far as this worlds goods are concerned, to
assume the responsibilities of married life.
The bride, Miss Wing, is a young lady of
many accomplishments and finished edu-
cation, and she enjoys the confidence and
esteem of a large circle of friends. The
presents were numerous, and some of them
very valuable. Among other tokens of
esteem presented was an elegant tea set,
two handsome oil-paintings, and check
from the brides parents of $1,000. The
happy couple left for Santa Cruz on the
1890 train, and will be gone several days.

pARNgLL AID THE LAND LEAGUE,

Parnell appears to be getting into water
too deep for him just now. His determine
ton to resist the second reading of the Irish
land bill has developed very pronounced
spirit of dissatisfaction and characterization
among the Home Rulers, and no less than
twelve of them refused the other night to
agree to his new policy. The fact no doubt
is that those of his colleagues who are
genuinely DESTROYS of seeing the land
question settled, realize the futility of a
course which consists in mere resistance to
every remedy and ever concession. They
know very well that if the land bill should
be beaten, it will be long time before
equally favorable terms are offered them,
and that if the Tories should succeed to
power, they would abandon all thought
of passing an Irish land bill at all.
They see that Parnell has be-
come an obstructionist, and that instead
Of promoting practical reforms, and avail
ing himself of the best the situation
affords, he is posing as the leader of a
vague and irresponsible movement having
for its ostensible purpose the dissolution of
the Union. They are of course well aware
that all talk of that kind is mere moon.
shine, and that its only possible effect can
be to keep alive an irrational and hopeless
discomfort among the Irish masses, and to
serve the selfish purposes OF demagogues
And so believing the more temperate and
sober minded Home Rulers are prepared to
sever their connection with Parnell, and to
join the government in passing the land
bill. Such at least is the present outlook,
and it augurs i'll for the future ascendency
of the Parnell party generally.

THE PRESIDENT AND SENATOR CoNK-

The President has at last made up his
mind that collision with Senator Conk-

as much as possible, by withholding from
him the assistance of those of his friends
who had been nominated for various of.

upon the reflex action of his latest move.

the Conkling nominations he has not only
offered battle to the New York Senator.
