special to the Nurs and Courier from Varn
vile, says: Police Officer Robert Reid, o.
Hampton Court House, threatened to take
n pistol from Jake Gau!t, negro, Sunda!
morning. Gautt thereupon went 10 the
town Of Brunson and collected about
twenty negroes and returned 10 Hampton
Court House. Reid, on seeing Gautt again,
insisted that he should give up his pistol.
There were six whites near the hotel Rob
ert Reid, @. Newell, A. D. Gerald, Samuel
Dewitt, Major Causey and II. 4. Peoples,
They were all the white men visible on the
streets. Reid was Immediately fired into
by upwards Of fifteen negroes and almost
instantly killed. The negroes then turned
upon the other whites and severely beat
and cut Newell, Gerald and Dewitt.
Mr.. Henry PEBBLES at this time lcaped
upon his honc and put spurs to it, Fex.
claiming: | will go 10 Varnyilc and sum.

the town he was waylaid by two negroes,
who stopped his horse and exclaimed:
"ion are the id rascal going for help to

from his horse and stabbed him with a
knife in the left thigh and side, and were
brutally beating him, when, seeing he
would probably be killed, he resortcd 10
the ruse OF calling an absent friend to his
assistance with pistol. This had the dc.

A Suggestion.

In many of the cities of the Atlantic
States museums are forming which owe
their origin and increase entirely to the
efforts of citizens in their individual ca
pacity. 1t is full time that Los Angeles
developed more OF the civic pride which
distinguishes many of her Eastern Sis
tiers; and, it seems to us, the formation
of museum would be very proper
means of encouraging that sentiment.
In the mountains, at the seaside, on
the desert, everywhere our people go,
there are products of natures varied
handiwork well worthy of collection and
preservation. Let the city furnish a
room, properly fitted with cases and
shelves, as an adjunct to our already
fourishing library, and let our people be
requested to contribute such specimens
of the animal, vegetable and mineral
kingdoms as may come in their way. II
will be but slight labor to collect them
and, little by little, these accretions viii
grow into valuable collection which
will be source of interest and pride tc
all of us. To the scholars of our schools
a museum would furnish almost endless
information, while to our numerous Wis
itors it would present great attractions

French Ciarets.

The Gironde district, IN France, has
been almost entirely devastated by the
phylloxera, and the vineyards in other
departments of the country have suffered
only in less degree. But the wine
makers of Bordeaux are equal to the sit
uation. Recent statistics show a very
great increase of the importation OF
wines from all parts of the MediteTa-
mean, and even the amount brought from
Australia is something enormous.
But just as all the wheat which goes
into certain elevators of Chicago comes
from them again as No. |, so all the
wine exported from Bordeaux is claret
of the old accredited brands. English
men, who have always found a great
part of the pleasure of drinking claret in
the fact that it was pure article, are at
length beginning to wake up to the true
condition of things. The claret made
from port, sherry and Marsala wines, or
from the little grapes known in CON-
merce as Zante currants, though not
claret, is wine, but the wine makers Of
Bordeaux may discover some day that it
will be cheaper for them to make use of
other ingredients than the wines of the
Mediterranean, cheap as they are.
When this happens Californian wines,
which are pure, and will continue to be
SO, probably for very many years, will
acquire the reputation to which they are
Justly entitled.

A Rich Mining District.

As work progresses in the Esperanza
Mining District, six miles northwest of
Riverside, the indications point more
certainly to a cluster of rich mines that
must very soon attract attention. Last
week w. B. Russell and David
Meacham sent ten pounds of rock to
San Francisco for testing The rock was
procured by knocking off small pieces
from the projecting surface rock every
ten or twelve feet for distance of 500
feet. This rock was worked in the San
Francisco Mint, and hence the returns
can be relied upon. The result was
S3l 90 per ton, of which "a cents was
silver, the balance being gold. The Off
cial making the report of the test says:
"This is free milling ore and will pay
well to work either with mill or aras-
ira. 3"
If this rock will pay at the rate of $50
per ton, or even much smaller amount,
there is untold wealth in that range of
mountains, or, more properly speaking
hills. The whole side of the hills for
miles is covered with this same charac-
ter of rock, which yields gold and silver.
Claims 600xl500 feet are not only To-
Gated lengthwise of the field, but ap-
parently just as good locations are found
on either side for distance of several
thousand feet. If the rock in sight will
average half as much as the Mint assay,
this will become one of the richest dis
tricts in the country, for there are mil
lions of tons of rock in sight, to say
nothing of what may be found in the
lower depths.
We hope soon to see capital interested
in developing what now appears to be
very valuable mines. es.-RiUerSide Press

Maine Politics.

In the State of Maine political mat
ters are in q condition of fermentation,
and no one seems to have definite
opinion regarding the outcome thereof.
There is an unusual fecundity in the
matter of political organizations, no less
than five separate and distinct parties
being recognized Democratic, Republi-
can, Greenback, Straight Greenback
and Temperance. The term Straight
Greenback" is applied to that portion OF
the Greenbackers which does not afiil-
late with the Democrats; the names of
the other parties are, of course, indica-
tive of their respective status.
The election is very important one.
The Congressional representation of
Maine having been reduced from five to
four, and as the State has not been re-
districted, four Congressman at large
are to be elected. A Governor and Leg
islature are to be chosen, and ON the lat
ter the task of electing successor to
Senator Frye, whose term will expire in
March next, will devolve. This Legis-
lature will also make the necessary pro-
vision for taking the State census, and
will re-district the State. The Governor
will be called upon TO appoint the five
Justices of the Supreme Court of the
State.
As the result of this election will
probably determine the political posi-
ton of Maine for several years, the con-
test assumes national Importance. The
situation is fully understood by all of
the five parties, and, although the elec-
ton will not take place until the second
Monday in September, and no nomina-
tions have been made as yet, the active
work OF tho campaign may be said to
have been commenced. Of course no
predictions concerning the result can be
made; but, should fusion of the DEM
ocrats and Greenbackers be brought
about, the State of Maine may help to
swell the Democratic majority in 1884.

The Electric Light.

The electric light as used for illumi-
mating certain streets and squares of the
city of New York is, doubtless, a sue
cess, but whether such system OF
lighting would be economical or not in
other cities is matter concerning which
the absence of full data prevents the
formation of definite opinion. The
cost of an electric street lamp in New
York is seventy cents night, and, as
that of the ordinary gas lamp is trife
less than five cents night, to equalize
the matter it would be necessary that an
electric lamp should give fourteen times
the light of gas lamp. In New York
the gas lamps are closer, one to the
other, than they are in Los Angeles, but
lighting the streets by gas is, relatively
to lighting them by electricity, dearer in
Los Angeles than it is in New York.
