The telegraph informs us that Gov
ernor Morgan has peremptorily declined
to become q member of President
Arthur's Cabinet. The reasons are not
furnished. The President is reported as
much embarrassed in consequence of the
Governors d~eclination. 1t has upset his
calculations and put him all at sea. He
may, after all, be forced to tender the
Treasuryship to Senator Jones, OF ours.
The failure to secure a New York man
at least raises the price OF Senatorial
stock in Nevada. 1t gives aspirants for
Jones' Shoes another show. 1t is among
the possibilities that Governor Kinkead
may yet be called upon to name his sue
cessor. In the meantime the Senate is
anxious to adjourn, with the President
undecided and tearing his hair, as to
which way he should turn for proper
material for his Cabinet. He has prom.
ised, however, not to delay his appoint.
ments beyond Friday evening next. Sc
we may safely conclude that the vexed
question will be disposed of by that time.

SHAMELESS NINE MANAGEMENT.
The Outrageous Robbery Practieed
ON the Comst0ck Shareholders.

ON the Com.tock shareholders.
Chicago Mining Review The shame
less operations of the Comstock manage
ment, whether practiced in Nevada or any
other portion Of the mining territory, de-
serve the wholesale condemnation OF all
who are opposed to fraud Of the basest
sort and gross injustice OF the darkest
hue. There is no reasonable justification
for the immense assessments that have
been levied for years upon the stock
holders of these once prominent Comstock
mines. The probabilities Of new and
profitable ore bodies will not justify the
demand for millions Of dollars that has
| been made over and over agains These
vast sums OF money, amounting to three
or four million dollars in q number OF
mines, could not be spent in the legiti-
mate development Of these mines by men
| working honestly for mineral alone, with
out long ago forcing to the conclusion
that the task was in vain and that further
expenditure was not only useless, but SIM
ply outrageous robbery. 1t is but simple
| Justice to the mines, themselves, and to
the mining industry, to say that o large
proportion of these immense assessments
never were used to prove or develop the
ore bodies, but has been absorbed by a
system of extravagant management, so
that it never touched the mines. In the
face of the unparalleled cost OF working
these Comstock mines and years OF losses
which their history shows, we firmly be-
lieve that there are bodies of mineral in
| II $500 1a-a1a tyhtoh IN ntna1 uvG-
tenn Of mining would make profitable to
all interested. These millions of dollars
~squandered upon the little group Of mines
known as the Comstock, will not have
been spent in vain if the blackened record
of extravaganza, stock-jobbing and most
diabolical schemes Of extortion and shame
less robbery shall serve as a beacon OF
warning to others that they may profit by
the dearly bought experience and escape
from the same disastrous results.
The strangest thing in connection with
the whole matter is the fact that stock
holders have patiently consented, year
after year, to be bled, until the assess
ments amount in six mines alone to over
S22, 600, 900, and that men of reason should
be so readily disposed to invest in the
stock of mines, with such a history upon
the merest rumor Of striking ore, origin
ated by interested parties 1or the purpose
Of unloading stock, to escape paying an
assessment which they have already de-
cided to levy upon those foolish enough to
purchase. When at the present time
there are thousands Of good paying mines
well managed, bearing a clean record, in
different parts Of the country, it is time
the flow Of dollars into the deep pockets Of
the dishonest managers Of no~n-productivt
} mining schemes was summarily cut off
and turnsd into more legitimate ant
nrnftahla channela.

.rrER TwENrY.FrvE YEARS.

Three Russian bishops of the "Old
Believers" sect were locked up in the
Monastery of Susdal in 1856, says the
Cincinnati Inquirer, and till a few weeks
since, when they were released, were
kept in close confinement. For twenty
five years the world moved on by them I'M
Needed. When the keys of their cells
first turned on them, the Gar Nicholas
held the scepter. By the command OF
his grandson they are released. While
they were shut in from all that makes a
man happy, Alexander II had resigned
and died by an assassin. Unknown to
them the world had made mighty strides
toward liberty. Four million slaves had
been made free in America and forty
millions in Russia. Austria and Ger
many, Germany and France, Russia and
Turkey had again changed the map of
Europe. Germany, from a comparative
p~rincipality, had become an empire, and
France, an empire, had again adopted
Republicanism, while the "Sick Man
had been we'll nigh driven across the
B~osphorus. Pope Plus had been de-
clared infallible, had succumbed to the
inevitable, and his successor, Leo XII,
had been annoiptcd. Italian unity had
been accomplished, and after a success
sion of dynasties in Spain, and an at
tempt at Democracy, order had been
brought out of the chaos. From a ma
tion big with promises, though in 1856
but little known in Western Europe, the
United States had grown to be mighty
in strength, ~mightier in purse, and had
achieved a name which had become IA
miliar even around Russian hearthstones.
If these three ecclesiasticals marvel at
political changes, they are bewildered at
the improvement in science. They find
scientific laws that were fundamental,
in their days of early freedom jeered at,
to-day as exploded. They have awakened
after a sleep of a quarter of a century,
and they have found a new world.

RAIN-IN-TRE-FACE.
He Tells the Story of Custer's
Death--SI Killed Him--I
Cut Him Open--I Ate
Part of His Liver,

The Milwaukee SentinePs special
correspondent at Miles City, Monta-
na Territory, telegraphs a sensational
story in the shape of a statement by
Rain-in-the-Face, the Indian chief
who killed Gen. Custer in the mem-
orable Indian fight otJune 21, 1876.
From that day to this there has been
a mystery hanging about this affair,
from the fact that not a man of Gen.
Clusters little band escaped death to
tell the story of their fate, and the his
torian has no other source from which
to fill the page than the horrible inn
agination which clustered around the
dead and mutilated bodies of the gal
liant commanderand his troops, heigh-
tened by the memories Of the smoul-
dering ruins of the Indian village, to
capture which they paid the penalty
of their recklessness with their lives.
" hile the correspondent was in the
merchandising house of Mr.. j. j.
Graham, of Fort KeOgh, three IDdiau
chiefs, Rain>in,the-Face, Two-Roads
and Spotted-Ea who surrendered
to Gen. Miles last spring, came i'll as
is their custom, being encamped only
two miles away, on Tongue river, for
the purpose of conversation with Mr..
William NJ. Courtenay, the clerk and
interpreter of the establishment, in
whom the Indians religiously believe.
Mr.. Courtenay was reading Whitta-
ker's life of Custer, and in turning
the leaves of the book one of the In
dians caught sight of his own picture,
which he Immediately recognized.
They then took the book from Mr.
Cour tenay, and found all their pOr>
traits, but exhibited very little emo
ton Of pleasure or otherwise until one
of them turned a page and the picture
of Gen. Custer was revealed.
At this Rain~in-:he- Face became
greatly excited, going through with
all the gyrations of the war-dance,
and giving the Sioux war-uhoop at
the top Of his voice. After he had
got through with his wild demonstra-
ton, but still exhibiting the greatest
anger. he struck the picture with his
hand, and, with demoniac sneer on
his face, exclaimed in the Sioux
tongue: Il killed him, / made many
holes in him. He once took my lib

it had been once removed from the

Shakespeare's forte lay in characters

But when be sketched each sever,l

true to life. No two characters be-

than two faces are, no two descriptions

his writings, and that YOU never viii
see again, speaking once and then for
ever holding their peace-each not on
ly rare, but nOnesuch-fve gems
just shown, then snatched away. Each
page is thus studded with five stars,
each as unique as the century fl 'wer.
and, like the night blooming cereus,

bodied forth as Montezuma was ap-
parelled, whose costumes, however
gorgeous, were never twice the same.
