Starting RuSted Nuts.

Kerosene oil or naptha, even tur.
pentiue, will in short time penetrate
between minute crevices in joints that
have been long in contact, whether
bolts or nuts or steam joints. They
should be ign.sed when possible, when
the effects of heat and diffusion will
soon loosen the metals. Nuts rust so
tight sometimes that no wrench will
remove them without breaking off
the bolts. A gentle hammering on the
sides and top will som etimes start them
a little. a driven joint or ust joint
between fianges, formed by .,st-iron
borings and sal ammoniac in solution
IN them, cannot be parted by any
means short Of destroying the castings.
The scrap heat is the only remedy.

AN INFAMOUS DOCUMENT.

The proclamation issued in the pane of
the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and
which defends and Endorses the assassination
of Lord Cavendish and Mr.. Burke, is emf.
nently calculated to ALLEVIATE sympathy all
over the world, not only from the wretches
who are shameless enough to approve of
such declaration, but from those who
avail themselves of the help of these
scoundrels while pretending to disapprove
of their practices. We have no doubt that
the motive Of the proclamation was identi-
cal with that Of the assassinations namely,
to make Cancellation hopeless, and to goad
the British Government into rigorous and
if possible foolish measures. There is one
point, however, which it settles efectually.
1t has been alleged heretofore that there
was nothing to indicate concerted action
in the Dublin murders. Well, this proc.
lamation shows that the men who wrote
the one plotted the other. In the face of
such an execrable manifesto he must be
indeed hardy who asserts that Gladstone
is not entirely justified in his resolution to
crush ont the Irish secret societies without
more ado, and what is more we should
think that the Parnellites ought to be
among the first to approve such policy.

vIGoR TOWARDS THE INDIANS.

The President has declared himself in
favor of vigorous policy in relation to
the Indians. OF course it is necessary to
punish them when they break out of
bounds, but it is somewhat curious fact
that the United States Government has
never yet displayed any vigor in its In
dian policy, save when the question was
OF killing Indians. It sometimes happens
that when that kind of work is in hand it
is done quite thoroughly, and with ear.
nestness of purpose. But in all other In.
dian affairs apathy, sluggishness, in6rmity
of purpose, duplicity, and Indifference,
characterize the proceedings of the Govern.
ment. We cannot recall to mind single
instance in which vigor was exhibited
when a treaty with the Indians had to be
kept, or when Indian Agents had been de.
tected robbing their wards. In all such
cases it has been thought unnecessary to
show any haste or firmness, but when it is
necessary to slaughter the "red devils :"
our rulers seem to think that there may be
room for sudden display of stern deter.
mination. Perhaps if the Governmental
Indian policy had been characterized by
little more vigor in its peaceful relations, it
would not have been necessary to import
extra vigor into the warlike part of the
hnaIness

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

The attempt to procure the postponement
OF the Democratic State Convention does
not seem to have been very vigorous one,
for the reports of the meeting of the State
Central Committee state that only one vote
was cast In favor of the change. 1t is
therefore evident that the Democratic
leaders think they have something to gain
By long campaign, and this is somewhat
surprising, inasmuch as the only result can
be to make the people better acquainted
with the record of that party; process
which has never yet had the effect Of mul.
tiplying Democratic votes. II was alleged

ment. Ii SO he has been defeated, and if
he cannot have his own way we presume
that he will be unlikely to open his

or to give his organ for tine accommodation
of his adversaries within the party. The
Democrats must be very confident indeed
to be in favor of long campaign. We
hope to abate something OF that confidence
for them before it is over, however

LoNGPEiLoW'E WILL.

It appears that Longfellow's will is to be
set aside in part, because he did not Gem.
ply with some technical requirement.
There is no shadow of pretense that he did
not write the will, nor is there any doubt
suggested as to his sanity when he wrote
it, nor is there any dispute as to his inten.
tions. But the law steps in, impertinently,
and declares that certain parts of the in
strument are not valid, because forsooth
they contain interlineations, or something
equally insignificant. 1t is curious thing
that while the law pretends to surround
these testamentary deeds with the utmost
safeguards and precautions, it is notorious
that the surest way to get hold of property
is to break a mans will. So common has
this become that it will soon be necessary
to inquire whether it is worth while for
men to devise their property at all, since
where the estate is considerable the making
OF will nowadays usually results in the en-.
richment of the lawyers alone. Whether the
growth of this disregard for the wishes of
deceased persons springs from the preva.
lence of the ultra democratic doctrine that
no man should be permitted to make
mortuary requests, is perhaps doubtful
but the tendency of things is toward the
adoption of that principle. In such case
as that of Longfellow it seems great pity
that the will could not have been carried
out loyalty. Where there is no question
as to the intentions of the testator, and at
the same time the provisions of the will
are perfectly rational and just, it appears a
very wanton invasion of private rights to
set aside the instrument upon question
OF technicalities. For it cannot be argued
that such adherence to technical.
ties is necessary to the protection
OF the common veal. Every will may
be said to stand upon its own merits.
1t must be examined and considered
without reference to any other will. And
therefore the refusal of the Probate Court
to set aside LongfelIow's testamentary pro.
visions on the ground of irregularity could
not have preiudiced any other persons in.
terests, or have created a dangerous pre-.
cedent. The question ought to have been,
did the testator mean so.and so? And if
there was no doubt as to his meaning, the
will ought to have been probated without
hesitation. 1t is cases such as this, in
which the law operates to defeat the very
purposes for which it was created, that
prejudice men against it, and that often lead
them to prefer to take the chances of diving
interstate to furnishing some unknown pro.
tessional harpies with an opportunity to seize
and confiscate the property intended by the
possessor for his children and his friends.

TRUcKEE, May 12th.-Yesterday afternoon
a man by the name of Levi Warren had the
fingers of his left hand cut off by an edging
saw in the Boca saw mill. He reached
around the saw to remove some obstruction,
when the saw struck knot in the board he
was cutting, which caused it to jerk in such
a manner as to throw his hand against the
teeth.
For several months past the hotels and
boarding houses of this place have been suf-
fering from the operations of petty pilferers,
who would take the overcoats and other cloth
ing of guests, blankets, pillows, etc., and it
was impossible to detect who were the thieves,
or what disposition they made of their plum
der. Last Tuesday, two young men, giving
their names as Clifford and Beede, were ar
rested on q charge of stealing some bedding,
and on Wednesday they pleaded guilty.
They disclosed the name of the party who
bought the goods from them, which proved
to be Chinese merchant named Wah Lee,
who has been doing business here for the last
twelve or thirteen years. The goods were
found in his possession, as stated by the
young men. At the examination of Wah
Lee, yesterday, it was proven that he was
informed that the goods were stolen before he
purchased them. This morning Justice
Weller held him to answer before the Supe
rior Court on charge OF buying goods know
ing them to have been stolen.
