THE RIGHT MEN.

There is little or no doubt that the par
ties recently arrested by Detective
Hume and his assistants are the right
men for Folsom or San Quentin. 1t is
also tolerably safe to say that one at
least of the supposed -wreckers,
four of whom are in the Auburn Jail,
has "squealed." The Nevada transcript
of a recent date says:
"The detectives who are posted in
the matter appear to be well satisfied
that the right crowd have been arrested.
Some of these officers admit that one Of
the wreckers "peached" on his confed-
crates, while by others it is denied that
such is the fact. At any rate, some of
the articles left on the scene by the
wreckers have been identified. Detec-
tives Hume and Thacker says that if a
robbery was contemplated the plan went
awry because there was no acknOWl-
edged leader to the gang. They think it
one of the most bungllngly performed
crimes they ever had the tracing"

A sorrowful HONEYMOON.

The California detectives appear to
have at last concluded that the recent
attempt to rob passenger train near
Colfax was not made by persons who
wanted places on the road as watchmen.
Quite number of arrests have been
made. That of Reuben A. Rogers, at
Gold Run, as related by the Nevada
Transcript, brought misery with it.
The paper named says: "Rogers was
married here to Miss Mary Sullivan,
young and rather prepossessing lady
whose widowed mother resides at
Iowa Hill. She had eloped with him,
and they were going to leave here on
Saturday afternoon, but missed the train.
The poor girl did not know what was
in the wind when her rew-made hus-
was taken from her. A short time after,
when she learned that he had been
lodged in Jail, she fastened after him
and piteously pleaded with the Sheriff
to be admitted to his cell. OF course her
petition could not be granted, and with a
broken heart and dazed mind she stag
gered back to her room to be alone with
her great sorrow. She left on the mid
night train to go to her husbands rela-
tives in Placer county. When she
reached Colfax an unthinking officer
told her she could find her husband in
the express Office. She rushed to him,
and when she came into his presence
and saw him wearing felon's manacles
there was heart-rending scene that
will never be forgotten by the specta
tors"

New Work.

A substantial contribution to the COM
ing centennial celebration at Yorktown
is Mr.. H. P. Jonston's volume, "The
Yorktown Campaign" which Harper
& Brothers will publish in few days.
The book is copiously illustrated with
maps and fine engravings from famous
historical paintings by Trumbull, Sir
Joshua Reynolds, Gilbert Stuart, and
others. 1t is no little compliment to
Mr.. Johnston's accuracy that he has
been consulted in locating the camping
grounds of the militia from the various
States, which it is designed to make
identical with the camping grounds of
the troops from their respective States
century ago.

THE NORTH END.

The APPEAL has claimed for some.
time past that there was ore in the ST.
ezra Nevada, for which this paper re-
ceived no small share of impotent sar-
casm, and even coarse abuse. One
journal in this neighborhood became
petuously indignant over the matter,
and limited that the APPEAL was lend
ing itself to job for the robbing of
widows, servant girls and the poorer
classes generally. The APPEAL had
no selfish OF mercenary aims, but told
what it believed to he true, and made
its statements on what it considered
good authority. The events of the
past few days have demonstrated the
correctness of this papers position.
With the people in doubtful frame Of
mind, and with an army of bears strug-
Cling hard to break the market, the
Sierra Nevada in short space of time
has gone up nearly fifty per cent. And
this, too, without an encouraging word
from the management. Stockholders
in the mine have been denied the
privilege of inspecting it; and the re-
fusal by the management to allow one
of its trustees, Mr.. Drexler, to visit the
mine we consider as prompted by
desire on their part to put damper on
those not on the inside from asking a
similar privilege. The general i'm
preston is that there is mine at the
north end, and great injustice is being
done stockholders by refusing to let
them see for themselves.

STATE NEWS.

Several old claims in the immediate
vicinity of the Day mine, Phoebe, are
being worked again.
There are about one hundred and ten
acres of land planted in cotton in the
lower end of Lincoln county.
The valuation of taxable property in
Washoe county for the year 1881
amounts to s3,754, 75s, being $55o,62s
over last year.
Superintendent Rooney, says the
Enterprise, of the Sierra Nevada, is
ready to bet that the carrier pigeon
taken East by Miss Moran will reach
the Comstock all right. Itappears that
it is one Of his pigeons, and is to be re-
leased at Ogden, instead of being car
ried through to Boston.
News reached Clover Valley the
other day, says the Phoebe Record, that
the bodies of G. A. Bergin and Francis
Stainer, both wellknown in this county,

Colorado river. DR.. Bell, who brings
the news up from Clover, says that he
was unable to learn any particulars in
regard to the cause of the death of the
men. r

A Tuneful Lie.

At an evening party lady was called
upon for song, aud began, "Pll strike
again my tuneful Tyre" Her husband
was observed to dodge suddenly and
start hurriedly from the room, remark
ing: "Not if know it, she won't. She
belts blue blazes out of me at home, and
1 stand it like man, but when she
threatens to hit me in strange house,
and calls me liar before whole crowd,
I'll run as long as I have a spark Of
manhood left"

Judge Cox braced himself up wonderfully
on Saturday last. He even went 50 far as
to threaten the assassin that he would put
him in the prisoners dock if he did not be-
have himself. but he did not want to act
hastily, and 50 did not act at all. 1t would
he too utterly too cruel to put such an in
dignity on the miserable whelp. Better let
him continue to insult the court, jury and
counsel i'll the vile outrageous way he has
done for month past. Judge Cox is evil

Covert Lodge of Good Templars was or

their credit be it said that among the first to
join were some in need of the beneficial re-
suits of such an institution. From that
small beginning the lodge has prospered I'M
til it now numbers eighty-two members, with
$40 or $50 in its treasury and is full of good
work yet to be shown. A recent festival
swelled their finances, and in every way they
prove themselves to be growing stronger.
1t IS their intention to entertain the district
meeting at its summer session. That the
Covert Lodge may continue in its good work
