Having heard and published a good deal
about the late strike in the Charles Dickens,
says the Yankee Fork Herald. we went up
yesterday, and through the kindness of
Mr.. Norton went into the lower levels of
what we consider as good a mine as there
is on the Pacific Coast. The lower tunnel
is in $50 feet. 1t follows the vein in, and
the further it Is run the richer the ore gets.
A erosscnt was made 80 feet from the face
Of the tunnel, where it was found to be 80
feet to the hanging wall. A drift has been
started along the hanging wall, where the
ore 10 good, and the main tunnel is being
pushed ahead as rapidly as possible. The
ledge Is known to be 80 feet wide, the streak
tnat the tunnel is running on going way
up In the hundreds. A crosscut will be
made for the foot wall next week to ascer-
tain the width Of the mine, and thoroughly
develop the immense body of ore Just
discovered. The rich streak, the ore from
which shows plentifully Of gold, averages
four feet in width. The striking of the
bonanza at a depth of ass feet below the
surface is positive evidence that the Charles
Dickens Is the great mine Of the Yankee
Fork district, and contains millions Of
wealth. When the mine was first struck,
a few years ago, the general opinion was
that il was too rich to last, but the idea
has been proven erroneous by the develop
ments, as the mine not only holds its own,
but widens and grows richer with depth.
There is enough very rich ore now in sight
to keep a large mill running for several
years, and the owners of the Charles
Dickens will become the bonanza kings Of
the Salmon River country. The rich pay
shute is known to be 800 feet long. and it
may extend a great deal farther. The
will start up as soon as water starts. |

osCAR BABcocK.. STORY.

The Sacramento Record. Union pub
fishes the following: "a young San
Franciscan named Oscar Babcock sudden
" disappeared several months ago, taking
with him a large sum of money, which,
we believe, was, however, his own prop
erty. Nothing whatever was heard OF
him until a few days since, when he
turned up in Washington, d. c., with a
story to the effect that he had been
druqced, robbed and transported to that
distant point. Further statements con-
corning the affair are to the effect that he
was entrapped by a party of men who
kept him under the influence of some
mysterious drug all the way across the
continent, and who finally deposited him
in an insane asylum, whence he has but
recently emerged. Certainly this is an
extraordinary story, and the public are
not to be blamed if they question its
~eredibility. 1t is not indeed at all a new
kind Of story. Within the pas ten years
we have encountered probably a couple
Of score of almost precisely similar mar
r~atives. But we do not remember to
have met with a single instance in which
the alleged facts were substantiated, or
the alleged mysterious conspirators were
traced. 1t must occur to most people as
very remarkable that thieves should think
it necessary to incur such risks as must
accompany the transportation Of a drug
ged victim across the continent, when
they could SO easily have decamped with
their spoils without troubling themselves
about his subsequent fate. The idea of
these ~druggings which suspend the reason
over, is a remarkable one. What are
these drugs? Where are they procured !
What chemists or medical men are &C.
quainted with their properties And yet
it is certain that stories almost identical
in their main features have been told at
intervals for several years. There was
the case of Redpath, the lecture agent,
who wandered off and, according to his
own account, suddenly found himself in
Cuba. The files of the newspapers con
tain dozens of similar cases. What is
the true explanation of them? Are there
really gangs of Thugs among us? Are
people really spirited away and drugged
into insanity, and put in asylums? On
are men to get into trouble through theii
own fault inpelled by some mysterious
influence to tell always the same kind Of
story? There are many ~bewilderine
points about this matter, whatever theory
is adopted, and it would be interesting il
somebody like Mr.. Pinkerton, for in,
stance, would tell the public what he
knows about the true inwardness' O.
this peculiar class of disappearance"

THE PRESIDENT AND THE COR.
DEN CLUB.

The S. F. Examiner says: The state
ment was telegraphed the other day by
the Associated Press that Garfield had
recently denied his connection with the
Golden Free Trade Club of England,
which is one of the most potential politi.
cal organizations in that country. Earl
Granville, the Minister of Foreign Affairs
in the present Gladstone Administration,
is its President. Garfield appears now
to declare that he does not believe in the
clubs principles. The Sacramento Union
says 1--WE are reluctant to believe this
story, for the reason that we know Gen.
Garfield to have been a member of the
Golden Club, in the annual lists of
which organization his name has appeared
for several years, and for the further
reason that no man is ever accepted as a
member unless he is known to hold free
trade doctrines" That Garfield has long
been a member of the club there can be
no manner of doubt. But, then, it is
not convenient for him to admit the fact
now, seeing that he caused it to be stout
ly denied during the campaign. That is
just like Garfield. He always denied
truths that it is not convenient to admit.
When he consulted his friend, Jere Black,
as to the defense he should make in the
Credit Mobilier bribery case, he con-
fessed that he had taken the stock from
Cakes Ames. Black advised him to ad-
NIT the fact, but deny the motive.
When. however the hour of trial arrived
his courage failed him, and he swore
point blank that he knew nothing about
his ownership of Credit Mobilier stock.
Confronted with his own hand writing, he
was found guilty by his own party friends
OF bribe-taking and perjury. 1t need
surprise no one that he now falsely de-
MES that he has long been a member of
an English free-trade club. That's a
way he has.

nav and Night in Sweden.

The peculiarities of day and night
in Sweden strikes the ira weller very
forcibly, after being accustomed to the
temperate zones In June the sun goes
down in Stockholm little before ten
o'clock. There is great illumination
all night, as the sun passes round the
earth toward the north pole and the
reflection of its rays is such that you can
see to read at midnight without an arti-
fetal light There is a mountain at the
head of Bothnia, where, on the 21st of
June, the sun does not appear to go down
at all. The steamboat goes up from Stock
holm for the purpose ofconveying those
who are curious to witness the pheno-
menon. It occurs only one night. The
sun reaches the horizon, you can see the
whole face of it, and in five minutes
more it begins to rise. At the North
Cape, latitude seventy-two degrees, the
sun does not go down for several
weeks. In June it would be about
twenty-five degrees above the horizon at
midnight. In the winter the sun disap-
pears and is not seen for weeks, then 1t
comes and remains for ten or fifteen
minutes, after which 1t decenass and

Talmage's Opinion of Pistols.

The following is an extract from Rev.
DR.. Talmage's sermon, delivered Sun
day, September 9Th:
Another use of this national calamity
is to disgust the nation with the free
use offrearms. There is to much shoot
ing going on all over the land. If a
man differs from you shoot him if he
does not do as you want him to do, shoot
him; if nan doubts your veraeity,
shoot him if man stands in the way
of your interests, shoot him; and all
over the land it is bang bang bang!
Guiteaus on small scale in every city
and village Pistols are entirely too
common, ane human life is too cheap.
Let this Washington rufhan, going
about practicing at mark and sitting
in parks with the navy revolver in his
pocket, make the business of carrying
firearms disreputable. If man has to
90 out on the frontier among savages
or as an officer of the law, be his work
to arrest desperadoes, let him go armed.
Armed police officers, armed Sherlfts,
armed iail-keepers are well enough, but
it is high time that private citizens
snapped their sword-canes in two and
put up their deadly weapons. No man
that goes in reputable society in Wash
ington, or Brooklyn, or New York, or
London, needs any other weapon than
those which God gave him-two honest
fists-and they are easily loaded. Ii
you feel the need of pistol in your
pocket, you are a miserable coward.
If you are afraid to go down the street
unarmed ask your grandmother with
her knitting needle to go along with
you. / am glad to know that the Com
mon Council of this city made it unlaw-
ful to carry deadly weapons, or gave a
special emphasis to laws already enacted.
The meanest and most develish weapon
ever constructed is a pistol. 1t is com
pact and portable murder carried around.
The sword may have some nobility, tor
you must expose your own life in order
to take the life of another, and it needs
some courage to use it, but pistol Is
the weapon of sneak. [ had rather
carry a toad in my vest pocket. Those
who carry the deadly weapon are almost
invariably men with ungovernable TEN
per. Now, a man with revengeful OF
ungovernable temper ought never tc
carry anything more dangerous than
dull Jack knife. You know not what
under sudden impulse, you may b'
tempted to do. Away with this pisto
business! Let Guiteau have all tn
honor of assassination,

rhe Improvement Of Human Health.

DR.. J. NJ Granville, in a Letter to the Spectator.
In result of somewhat large ac-
quaintance with the facts held to indi-
cate the state and progress Of "human
health" | fear my testimony must be
given to show that the improvement
effected by science consists in pro-
longation Of the passive endurance of
life, rather than an extention of the
period of true vitality, or any increase
of the opportunity for good work and
real intellectual enjoyment. We may
olive" longer, but our lives are not hap
pier or more useful for the excessive
energy recently devoted to the conser-
walton of health, or the inOrdinate and
laborious means taken TO avoid disease
and death. 1t may, doubtless, he pos
sible to raise humanity to the level of
one ofthose scientific toys which approx
innate perpetual motion, but expend
their whole force in moving themselves.
Whether longevity purchased at the
price passing lifetime in running away
from death would be worth having, 1
must leave to be determined by tho
Judgment OF tnose VINO set u Naluo oi1
our so called sanitary prorgess, which l.,
for one, fail to recognize.
think men were happier and better,
and lived nobler lives, before the pur-
suit of health and the yearning for
longevity became a craze, almost amount
ing to madness. What to eat, drink.
and avoid, what to wear, whereand how
to live, by what means to avoid infection,
to keep off disease, and to escape death
for few weary and worried years, are
questions which so engross the thoughts,
| if they do not ombitter the lives, of the
multitude, that the proposition, "Is Il
sanitary life worth living% has come
to be subject of serious contemplation,
and one which the taxed and harassed
community will sooner or later be COM
pelled to entertain.

A Marrying Widow.
Cleveland Leader. I


A genuine comedy in real life was played
here yesterday. Mrs. Francis Kennedy IS
a buxom Young widow twenty-five years
old. Her husband died about year ago
from a fall Six months ago William Cum
ming came courting her, and his attentions
not being distastefuI to the widow she finally
consented to marry him in twelve months
and a day from the date of her tlrst hus-
bands death. The happy day fell on We'd
nesday, and the ceremony was to take place
at the brides house. A magnificent wedding
feast was prepared, and about sixty guests
were invited to partake of it. The hour
appointed for the marriage was set tor . p
NJ In the forenoon the bridegroom elect
arraved himself in his best and went off to
invite few friends in the country, who had
been forgotten. The afternoon mail brought
a postal card from him, stating that he Lad

woman so recently widowed He would
make it a matter of prayer, and would
abide the result ofhis feelings when through.
She was not to take this as positive decll-
nation to marry, but if he did not arrive at
o'clock p NJ. she might consider the mar
riage off.
Mrs. Kennedy did not faint or go into
mysteries, but she decked herself IN her
bridal robes and smilingly received the
guests bdden to the feast When the min
lister and all those with wedding garments
had arrived the lady called the meeting to
order and read the recreant Cumming 8
card.
Loud and prolonged were the denuncia-
tions of the absent groom's conduct.
"This need not prevent the feast" said
Mrs. Kennedy, and the guests fell to ban
quoting Immediately. After supper the
room was cleared for dancing, and Mr.
Washington Williams, an elderly bachelor
led the german With the bride. He became
so enamored of her that within an houl
