Ex-Gov. BROWN, of Tennessee. who
is in New York, says it is too soon to
determine what will be the result, polit-
ically, of the decision of the Supreme
Court of that State declaring the 1908
debt bill unconstitutional, but fears that
it means that Tennessee is to become a
Republican State, for the reason that
the Democratic party is divided on the
debt question, and the State=credit party
will probably vote with the Republicans
in order to defeat the Repudiators.

The Swallows.

These are the light cavalry of the vast
army of birds always on the skirmisb
line, ever on the move their wings are
tireless. From early morn till night they
forage the field Of air. Constantly on
the alert to cut off any straGgler from
the insect camps, they miss no oppor-
tunity to destroy these enemies OF the
farmer. The swallows, from time i'm.
memorial, have been the friends and
companions of men. Wherever he has
had literature it has always embalmed
the praises of the swallows. "The
twittering OF the swallows in the thatch"
has aroused the peasant at daybreak to
resume his daily labor, and "when the
swallows homeward fly" he has re-

life and death, Ned never leaving his bed
side but for few moments at time,
doing all in his power to alleviate his
sufferings, which at times were intense,
and often brought tears to tho eyes Of
the burly miners, who would congregate
after meals around his couch. At length
he died, and all hands quit work to fol-
low in silent procession to the little
grave dug on the hillside. After all was
over and poor Charlie was lad to rest,
Ned, his nurse and schoolmate, said
"Well, will take bath in the river and
then get good sleep, for have not had
one for three weeks"
All hands scattered to different parts
of the diggings discussing the many
chances man had for just such IA funer-
al before he made his pile, when a
loud cry came from the hume, rush was
made and poor Ned was landed on the
bar a corpse.
After tine funeral he said he would
take bath; he took off his clothes, weut
to the fume which was carrying all the
running water OF the Yuba river, leaving
stagnant pond on the claim to be
pumped ont. When the pumps were
put in, he jumped off head first, as he
thought, into deep hole. But alas! a
large boulder was but few inches below
the muddy surface on which he struck
breaking his neck, and dying instantly.
We brought him to camp and prepared
him for the grave, and dug hole along
side his late friend Charlie, and placed
them side by side, schoolmates, play
mates and workmates now sleep their
last sleep on hillside at Liars Flat, on
the Yuba mines, with no mark but a
cairn OF stones set up by HUSTLER.

"REMINISCENCES OF OLD TIMES ~ CALIFoR-
MA.
By one who was there.l

EDITOR ARGUS
Mark Twain and Bret Harte have
made themselves famous by writing pic
lures OF old California, which are very
interesting, although small fringe of
truth surrounds their tales.
am well aware that l never could
shoot the quill with the glib ease of
many writers, nor do l aspire to the
shadow of their fame. But thinking
few "reminiscences Of the truthful past
may interest many OF your readers, !
send you the following:
In '52, the great river mining era of
California, when the Yuba river above
Poverty Bar to Douneyvill was one
string Of fumes and wing dams. In
places miles OF the river were connected
| by fumes by one dam. The dams in
creased fearfully as the winter approach
ed. was connected with Union Co. to
several other companies by one dam,
which 1 am sorry to say was not sutli-
cient, for after we had drained the river
ten thousand dams would not have been
sufficient to work out our wrath. Yet in
those days to be interested in river
claim was considered home stake,
which everyone was playing for, not
tbinAing that more wealth lay in what
was termed the plains and dry hills than
all the gold mined since 40.
Everyone thought the river was the
grand deposit of all the hill washings
since Noah, and to drain any part Of it
where there was ripple was fortune
All they had to do was to drain by flume
or wing dam and scoop up the gold by
the shovelful. In fact l heard men say
at that time that gold would be so plen-
tiful that silver would take it's place.
Well do remember the hard work we
had to do; all the timber and lumber
had to be brought from distance; mills
were scarce and far apart on creeks and
ravines where water power could be got.
Roads had to be made, and hundred
dollars per thousand paid or promised at
the mill, we doing our own hauling, pay
ing Sl2 per day for one yoke OF cattle.
All the lumber and timber we deliver
ed on the top of the mountain abreast OF
the claims, and it had to be hauled
down by hand, each man taking short
piece OF rope and tying two or three
boards together and running down hill
to the claim, making two or three trips
day. Often when the horn blew for
dinner men have sought the shade of
Buckeye, and rosted in preference to
going to dinner, so tired and worn out
were they. Yet when the horns, too,
sounded with hopes OF future wealth,
they shook themselves and went to work
with will, and night found many of
them, after taking few mouthiuis of
food, asleep in their wet clothes.
After getting in the fume and drain
ing the claim, We had many heavy bould-
ers to start in order to get to the bed
rock. Our blaster was young man from
Pautucket, II. l., who was called "Char-
lie" He had partner named Ned
Booth, young men and old schoolmates.
One morning Charlie was brought into
camp fearfully mangled by premature
blast. Ned came with him as nurse, and
for weeks poor Charlie fingered between

Why Confederate Scrip is
Being Bought.

Occasionally in these days we
hear of a movement in favor of
Confederate bonds. The gentleman
who brings them to market is gen
orally the scion of a noble family,
who lost everything in the late war
but his honor and a clothes basket
full of Confederate bonds. Just
what the inside motive of the specu-
lation may be has seemed very hard
TO tell, but the recent announce
ment that certain idiots In New
York were willing to pay So a
thousand for the old scrip has in
duced lot of wise folks in the
south to haul down a lot of venera-
BILE documents from the shelf, and
dust them off preparatory to sale.
From one of our southern exchanges
we take the following:
"The other day l ran across a
friend whose step was exceedingly
brisk. Hope shone like a fixed
star on his southern forehead. He
explained those cheering physical
signs to mean that he had $4,000
of Confederate scrip in the brown
paper parcel he carried in his hand,
ana that he was going to knock the
whole lot down to a fellow who had
bid $63 for it. l used to tell the old
man, said he, that he was a fool
when he put his gold coin into this
stuff dollar for dollar, but he'd be
kind O. tickled to know how handy
the net proceeds would come in to
his brilliant but deprecated son."
Here is the first well-authenti-
Gated and circumstantial case of a
sale Of Confederate scrip that we
have seen, and there is no good
reason to doubt the truth of the
story. Nobody need lose any rest,
however, over any immediate raid
on the treasury in behalf of the old
paper. Quite lot of these old
bonds matured in September
twenty year bonds-and the above
purchase can be explained as fol-
lows: When the Confederate boiler
exploded, there were-so runs the
legend-$7, 100000 in gold lying in
the vaults of the Bank of England
to the credit of the lost cause. Our
government, by the statute of
limitations, is now barred from
making any claim to the amount,
and it is said that by proper legal
| proceedings, the English Court of
Chaneery could be induced to di-
vide the same pro rata among the
holders of these matured bonds. It
is very possible that some such eX-
PLANTATION is correct, because the
demand has so far been restricted
to these particular bonds.-CiDcin-

A Stump Speakers Story =.

M. Massey told a good story In his
speech last Monday illustrating the
Malone Hubbell assessment system.
1t seems that one of Msbone's agents
bsrgained with a man in one of the
southwestern counties for political
work, promising aim county post
Office and $40 a month for his ser
vices. The man was appointed posi-
master; and during the first month
cold four. cents worth OF postofiee
stock--a postage stamp and o postal
card. He consoled himself, however,
with the thought that the $40 prom
ised him would pay him pretty we'll,
and wrote to the department. stating
the terms of the contract and re-
questing that the amount should be
forwarded at once. In reply the de-
psrtment wrote that 1t knew nothing
about the $40. snd that he must take
his pay from the Gale Of stamps, on
which 60 per cent. was allowed. In
q few days he received one of Hub
BELLS circulars requiring five per
cent. of his income for campaign
purposes, and this was quickly fol.
loved by one fgom Malone request.
ing ten per cent. of the same. The
man came to the conclusion that 5
per cent. of 10 per cent. of go per
cent. of four cents wouldn't afford
him a living, gave up the postofice
and went to work for the democrats.
