a chapter Of personal history which
strangely illustrates the proverb about
casting bread upon the water has been
recently told through the press. 1t
appears that Mackey, the great Cali
fornla banker-whose wealth is counted
up by tens of millions-was in early
life in very humble circumstances, and
IN maturer years was only miner.
While in the,West hesaw the opportu-
nifty to make step towards fortune;
and he went to Jewish gentleman
who had money, but to whom he was
almost stranger, told his story, and
asked the loan of $500. The gentle
man was surprised, but with rare gen.
erosity he cons ented to make what
he had every reason to consider
free gift to the adventurous stranger.
The loan was the foundation Of Mack
ey's fortune. Years afterwards the
latter sought out his beneiactor, found
he had moved to Germany, sought
him out there, and offered him hum
dred thousand dollars for the five hun.
dred he had lent him IN the hour of
his need. The gentleman refused to-
accept it, as he was rich, and needed
no more wealth. But the incident IS
interesting and instructive-especisllv
in these days when Germany criticises
the commercial Wethods OF the Jews:

TIE PROGRESS md PROFITS or MINING.

We have made giant strides in min
ing since the accidental discovery Of
gold by Marshall in 1S49. We little
thought that such:grand results would
follow the digging out of a mill race
for Suffers saw mill.
Yet the product of California alone
since that memorable year, is estimat-
ed at 81, 500, ,ooo, 1000, and the State is
still the leading gold producing dis
trict on the globe.
The success. of mining in. California
led to prospecting other contiguous
territories, and in 1857 and 1858 a
perfect furore was created by the dis
covery made by one James Thompson,
a Norwegian, who was engaged carry
ing the mails from Genoa, Nevada, to
Placeryille' Cali, who brought to
Prof. w. Frank Stewart a small pack
age of black looking rock bearing free
gold, and wrapped in a piece of COM
mon check shirting He said the boys
had found it over in Gold Canon /; to
them it was a new kind of gold-bear-
ing rock. The Professor immediate
ly pronounced it black sulphurets of
silver, containing free gold. Some
specimens were sent to Sacramento to
be assayed. The result startled the
world. The black stuff was rich be-
yond comparison, which becoming
known, thousands tramped over the
mountains to Nevada.
From this exodus came the discov-
cry Of the Comstock lode early in SO,
the first location being the Yellow
Jacket mine, q name derived from the
fact of nest of Yellow Jacket wasps
disputing the claims Of the location.
The first pan Of yield that was to
eliminate in I production that has
astonished the world, realized fifteen
cents. We will not dwell On the
grand history Of the Comstock lodei;

The Supreme Court of the State
has recently rendered decision
which will tend to effectuaIly destroy
the value of drunkenness as an ex-
cuse for cline. II seems tina. two
convicted murderers of Carroll com
ty, named respectively Hanney and
Moon, each moved for rev trial,
and based their hopes of obtaining it
upon the fact that when they com
mitted the crimes Of which they we're
convicted they were irresponsible
because Of drunkenness The court
held that voluntary drunkenness is
no excuse for crime" and affirmed
the judgment Of the court below
The two murderers will, therefore,
pay with their lives the penalty of
their misdeeds.
