The Alturas County Seat Case.

The mandamus case brought by
A. j. Rupert against the County
Commissioners Of Alturas county to
compel them to move the county rec
ords to the town Of HALEY, was ar
gued before His Honor Judge Prick
EFT, on Thursday by r. Il. johnson
and 10 Huston, Esqs., and by j.
Brnmback, ESQ.,, for the defendants,
and was decided yesterday. The de.
PENDANTS answered the writ of man
damus, alleging the insutliciency OF
the writ, the unconstitutionality or
rather the invalidity of the statute
submitting the question of removal
to the people, pending appeal to
the Supreme Court from the recan-
vass of the votes by the District
Court, and fraud in the votes cast in
the HALEY precinct in said county.
On this answer, the plaintiff 3 coun.
sci moved for judgment on the plead
ings, or rather on the writ and an
swer. Judge Prickett sustained the
motion in part, or, in other words,
overruled all the defenses set up in
the answer except the question OF
fraud. He held that this was ques
ton of fact, which must be tried on
evidence, and set the Oath Of June
next to hear the evidence, at HALEY.

immediately enveloped in flames.
The Are spread rapidly and soon en-
tered the block between Toughnut
and Allen streets, and Third and
Fourth streets were soon in flames.
The Fire Department fought the
flames like heroes, but it was evident
from the first that the heart of the
city was doomed. The flames spread
across Allen street and destroyed
the entire block to Fremont and
again crossed Fourth street, destroy
ing the block bounded by Allen,

Of the city destroyed comprised al
most the entire business portion.
The principal hotels, Grand, Cosmo-

The Western Union Telegraph office
was among the first to hug the flames

HOW CIGARETTES ARE MADE,

ran across a cigarette factory the other day
Whew! wouldn't write-or, rather you wouldn't
dare print what saw. Dirty butts of cigars fresh
from the filth of the muddy streets are the
cleanest and incest of the material used in COM
piling these precious roads to ruin. L came
down town on a Madison Avenue car this even
ing and on the tail end there were three little
chaps, the eldest about fourteen. Each smoked a
cigarette and spat his life away [ ventured to
ask them if they enjoyed the odor. They said
they did.
And the taste? Certainly. On inquiring l
found they had well-known brand of cigarette,
noted for its opium soak and its terrible smell
when burning. Poor little devils. They can't
last long. They were pale and sickly, puny and
offensive. What kind of men will they make?
Men? They're men already in their own eyes.
They and majority of our little lads are full of
the slang of the day, up in all the catches and
abundantly able to hold up their end of con-
versation. 1 subsequently saw these three boys
in Niblo's Garden. 1t would have done you good
to hear them talk 4 blind man might reason
ably think he was listening to three old men.
Nothing was new. They had seen it all before,
and better done at that. Down went the cur
tain, out went the boys but before they felt the
first breath of fresh air from the street each puny
hand held cigarette to the vile-smelling mouth,
and puff! puff! they sickened every body in their
vicinity. This is an old grievance ofmine, and l
don't care to bore you with it, but feel it keenly.
Day by day the vice grows stronger There was
time when cigarette smoking was confined al
most entirely to Cubans, who knew what good
tobacco was and made their own cigarettes.
Gradually the habit spread. Dealers followed
suit. Makers became uncrupulous. Little dirty
boys were sent out to pick up cigar stumps.
Other equally disgusting material was also util
lied. Opium was made to do duty. Cheap
paper took the place of rice paper wish these
boys could see the stuff their paper is made from
Wouldn't it turn their little stomachs? l trow
trow. The cheap paper, the old stumps the
opium and the chemicals used to make them
"strong" deserve to be shown up Parents have
no influence with their sons. Why not? Be-
cause they smoke cigarettes or pipes themselves.
The boys charge all the good advice they get to
their fathers desire to keep them down. There
is but one way to deal with American boys.
Reason with them through their eyes. If every
nicotined stomach was made public, if every
time fellow died of too much cigarette the fact
was made known, if the proud boys could be
shown rag factory and stump grinder it seems
to me the cigarette business would be wound up
very soOn.-Joe Howard.

BARS AND NUGGETS.

The first piece of gold found in California was
worth fifty cents and the second 50. Since that
time one nugget has been found worth 5000;
two, S21 900; one, $4,000; two, $4,000; one,
$4,000; four, $4,000; twelve worth from $4,000
to $4,000, and eighteen worth from 81, 200 to
$4,000, have been found and recorded in the his
tory OF the State. In addition to the above,
numberless nuggets worth from 800 to $500 are
mentioned IN the annals of California gold min
ing during the last thirty years. From the date
OF the discovery of gold in California to the pres
ent time the yield has been about 81 900 900 900;
therefore 1t is very easy to see the small figure
that nuggets cut in the gold yield Big nuggets

dUcer of a ess precious metal, Nevada has Welded

al product of gold is now less than S1OOOOOOO
throughout the world, and it's foreign coinage
has practically ceased. In the United States the
production of gold has of late years greatly di-
minished In 1873 it was SAT 7000,000 in 1879
it was 3S90O,O0O, and in 1880 bat S36,000,0OO.
A large part of the coinage in our mints at pres
ent is of plate and of foreign and worn coiRs.
The reports and accounts submitted to the di-
rector of the mint show during the year deposits
of gold of domestic production S35 S15 536.55; of
plate, jewelry, and worn coin 81 ,784, ,2079O, and
of foreign coin and bullion $92, ,233 1853, being

THE SPONGE,

Since 1863, the sponge trade in New York has
been gradually growing but there are now only
twelve persons engaged in the business. The
importations amount to about 81 ,225, 900 per
annum, the duty on which twenty per cent. ad
valorem) amounts to about S250,0O0. Most of
the sponges come from Nassau, West Indies,
Trieste, Marseilles Paris, Archipelago, and Flor
ida. They average in prices, bales" 25 cents to
50 per h., and those used for toilet purposes are
worth from Is cents to SO apiece. There are in
all about fifty specimens of sponges, among which
are Mocha" bathing" toilet" and Sleeps
wool" In Archipelago men dive for sponges, but
in Bahama Florida, Nassau, and other places,
they are "dredged or racked for; for this pur
pose prong or kind of hay fork is employed.
When the sponge is found it is as black as coal,
and in each hole some insect or yermin is secret
ed The sponge is washed in pure water, and
then buried in the earth for fifteen or twenty
days to purge it of the teshy" smell that it has
when first taken from the sea. After digging it
up, it is again washed, and then allowed to re-
main in large tank Of water for ten or twelve
days, when it is trimmed and ready to put on
the market. The largest sponge that has thus
far been found is owned by New York city
merchant, who has refused fancy" prices for it.
It is a sea monster, weighing III lbs; its cir
cumference is feet, and it measures feet in
diameter
