The opposition of the granger elemen
10 the hydraulic mining in California is
strong and apparently Strengthening
The fight against "slickens," as the
debris from the hydraulic mines is
called, has been going on in the courts
for some time, and the ablest legal and
civil engineering talent of California
has been called out on both sides. 1t is
not cur purpose to discuss the question
which does not perhaps directly inter
est us, and concerning which we are
candid enough to admit we know little
or nothing; but we allude to the sub
ject to show how strong is the feeling
in regard to the debris question in
California. There il no doubt that the
majority for Governor Perkins AT the
last election in California Wa greatly
increased by the Democratic vote he
received in the mining counties of that
State, and for the reason that he had
formerly lived in the mining portion Of
California. owned mining interests,
and was supposed to be strongly in
sympathy with the hydraulic miners
At this time Tie granger pres Of Cali
tolnia seem TO DC more intaic5ttd in q
candidates position on the debris ques
ti3a than as to his views on Repuh-
licanism or Democracy, and the mining
pa, ers Of that State are equally anxious
to know whether or not the candidate
is sound on the "slickens' question IS
viewed from the hydraulic mining
standpoint. When q red-hot Repuh-
lican paper, such as the Nevada Tran
script, comes to the defense of an ultra
such as George Hearst is, no one can
reasonably doubt that the debris ques-
ton is very important one. The
Transcript gives a sketch of Hearst as
Il Nevada county miner; tells how he
-
side how he raised money for the
purpose of coming over to this country;
how his creditors event for him;" and
how he got out Of California with
lightly filled and small wallet and an
unreliable mule. The Transcript fails
to tell US what it thinks of Hearst as a
statesman, but it is evidently for him
rs against grangers and their
''anti-sickens'' heresies. Here is a
part Of what the Transcript says of
Hearst:
George is a miner all over, and even
il be is worth fifteen or twenty millions
of dollars he is the same old coon as
ever. he was never known to throw
off on his old friends, ana he has helped
many Il one out of bad financial scrapps.
If We were ever inclined to vote for a
Democrat it would e for him, first be-
cause he is an ex-Nevada c0untyan,
and second, because he is for the ny
drauiic miners first, last and all the
time. In the NEAR time, when we see
those grangerS going after George
Hearst because he is a friend of the
miners, we shall do our part in defend
ing him.

The Sensation Of a Man while Eallin
Sixty Feet from a Roof.

The Sensation Of a Man while Falling
Sixty Feet from a Roof.
From the st. Louis Republican.
Dick Sullivan, who fell sixty feet from the
roof of the Visitation Convent at the firea few
weeks SINCE was down town yesterday, and
while still using crutch, he is able to get
around He said that when first he lost his foot
hold on the roof he fell forward on his face and
commenced to slide down. There was nothing
to catch to. but still there was hope. Every OBJ
stacle was grabbed at. When the tin gutterine
was reached Mr.. Sullivan made desperate effort
to hold ON to 1t. but 1t gave way. Then he knew
no more, and was instantly crushed on the brick
pavement below. Mr.. Sullivan says that when
he was sliding down the roof he never expected
to again see the sun shine or hear the voice Of q
friend and during the time he couldnot help think
lug of what horrible death he would meet. This
feeling was but for an instant. Unless something
unexpected occurs Mr.. Sullivan win be at his
post-pipeman at No. engine house-in few
weeks.

The Zsnis First sight OF the Ocean.

The ZunkS First sight OF the Ocean.
From the Boston Post.
The Zunf chiefs were driven to the New York
Mutual building On Milk street, and from the
summit of the marble tower. which is 1856 feet
from the ground, they caught their first
glimpse Of the ocean. On emerging from the
tower upon the balcony which surrounds it Mr.
Cushing pointed out into the bay, and informed
the chiefs that the ocean was out there. Amid
many ordinations Of delight, they repeated.
very many times. "Show hal" which Mr.. Cush-
ing states is superlative term indicating the
most profound veneration ana surprise.
At first they seemed q little dazed, but as
soon as they realized that they were at length
in the presence of the much-ionged-for "ocean
Of sunrise" they all fell simultaneously to re-
peating, in sing-sOng undertOne. certain
prayers. These lasted several minutes, and
during their continuance they threw to the
winds handfuls Of ''prayer flour" they had
brought with them-a mixture of fine sea shells
and white corn -four. Having completed their
devotiOns the chiefs commenced to expatiate
upon what they saw around them. particularly
upon the tremendous extent of the pueblo Of
Boston.
Pointing to the line of the horizon of the bay.
the chief ofthe FIVE said: 'That is the black blue
of the ocean, and that is the foam thrown up

From the Philadelphia Times.
Henry Leon. tall broad-shouldered, burly
Chinaman, was admitted yesterday to the rights
of citizenship in the court quarter sessions.
He has been in this country for about eight
years. He sacrificed his queue long ago, and
his clothes are in the prevailing American fash
ion. He is christian, and married. His wife
is pleasant-faced Irish woman and Roman
Catholic Leon reads and writes English quite
well. and speaks it fiuently. He has laundry on
Sth street, and has made good deal Of money
by starting laundries and selling them out to
greeneI celestials. While court clerk Henszey
was asking the usual questions James Gilin, a
little man with a flaming red face. hurried into
the court room. He was stopped at the gate
of the space set apart for members of the bar.
''Your Honor, IprOtest-"he began, when he
was ordered out of the way: He got around by
another way to the court clerks desk. and
bothered that functionary with a voluminous
dissertation on the anti-Chinese course of recent
national legislation and objected emphatically
to naturalization of Leon as unlawful. AS the
Chinaman left the court room a full-fedged
citizen. he smiled benigply upon his opponent.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS.
Hts Effects Upon the Conversational
Powers Of q ROckland Social Gather
ing.

From the Rockland Courier Gazette.
There was q social gathering In Rockland the
other evening" and among the guests present
was musical genius from Boston. num-
Der Of local celebrities had favored the company
with selections, both vocal and instrumental,
and then the musical genius from Boston was
with great difficulty prevailed upon to play a
piece upon the piano. He seated himself amid
much applause, and fell to paving the ivory
keys with vigor that left no doubt of the sin
certify of his emotions. The audience contem-
plated the scene for q brief moment and then
fell into pleasant and comfortable converse
tion intermixed with light and joyous bursts of
laughter, as is customary among good society
when person is performing on the piano. An
idea flew into the mind of the musical genius as
he proudly listened to the storm Of laughter
and conversation which his talent had called
forth. He suddenly stopped in the middle Of a
bar, or rest. or some musical term. and the
awful silence of the piano was filled by the
following fragmentary ends Of current remarks:
Was awfully cold" said the thin woman in
the blue dress and green ribbons.

man with the notified face

said the young man in the phenomenally short
coat.

said the sad-eyed party who had been watching
the musical genius back with jealous eyes.

man in the corkscrew curis

the maiden lady, whose eyes were fastened on a
handsome girl on the opposite side of the room.

said gushing young thing in pink who was
talking to weak-eyed young man in glasses.

prim woman in gray hair and a jet black switch.
