While Douglas was faithful parti
san and successful politician, he wa:
a great statesman, profound and saga
cious leader, and one who was above
all the petty, scurvy tricks Of modern
senators and no man respected and
loved him more than Daniel Webster,
although they we're the antipodes of
each other. A single instance to prove
this, and 1 have done. Soon after Cal
ifornia was admitted, I was in the State
Department with FLETCHER Webster,
Charlie March and Secretary of State
Webster, when the latter said to Mo
in his careful yet god like manner ::
Young gentleman, you known Senator
Douglas well. my son tells me-" eyes,
sir" 1 replied, 'better than any living
man. He was my schoolmate, my
friend, and will do for me anything that
1 will ask him."
"Well," said he, hesitating and blush
ing almost, President Fillmore has sent
in all the Federal appointments for CAL
fornia and my friends are disappointed.
They are not properly cared for. 1
should like to have action on those nom
nations suspended until we can sec and
right them" "Very WELL" 1 replied,
Il will see Douglas, and your wish shall
be gratifed." That evening, about IL
o'clock, / went to Douglass room, found
him just going to bed, told him Web,
ster's wishes, got carriage by his order
and went with him to see DR.. Gwynn,
then United States Senator from Cali
fornia. Douglas told him our wishes,
and the doctor, a wonderful man then
and now, took all the California ap>
into his own hands, sus>
pended them all for weeks, compelled |
Fillmore to change and recall some and
alter others, and the Secretary of State
and his friends were all we'll satisfied.
While Douglas was true to his own
party, he was true always to his friends;
was most manly, noble and great
hearted man.

END or LoNo TRIAL.-The case Of
Sheppard Va. DeLashmutt d Yocum,
which has been on trial for several days
at Dallas. was concluded on Friday in
favor of the plaintiff. Five years apo
the store in possession of Geo. A. Shep-
pard, assignee of Lindsay DeLashmutt,
at Sheridan, was burglarized and the
safe robbed of about $1,000. Tbe mat
ter attracted considerable attention at
the time, and suspicion fell upon Lind
say DeLashmutt and his father-in- law,
Hathaway YOcum, and they we're arres-
ted. The grand jury indicted DeLash-
mutt, but not YOcum. At the March
term of the Circuit Court at Lafayette
in the year 1873, DeLashmutt was tried
and acquitted. Mr.. Sheppard, in the
meantime, placed all his own property
at the disposal of the creditors for
whose benefit he had taken the assign
ment, to answer for the stolen money
from the safe. The creditors, knowing
the honesty of Mr.. Sheppard. divided
the loss with him, and he employed
counsel and began quietly a course of
detective work to find out the perpstra-
tors of the crime, vindicate himself
against the aspersions cast upon his in
t"grity, and, If possible, REQ 'ver the
money. Here and there facts and cir
cumstanres were found out, until at last
his counsel thought the evidence,
though wholly circumstantial. sufficient
to satisfy a jury that the money could
be recovered from the parties formerly
accused, and civil action was com.
menced against them to recover the
money and interest. The case cams on
for trial last Tuesday, and the trial
lasted until Friday night, when it re-
suited in verdict in favor of Mr.. Shep-
pard, and against both DeLashmutt
and Yocum, for $lO,136, the whole
amount claimed. 1t was charged that
Sheppard robbed his own safe, but the
verdict in the case would appear to vim
dicate him.-Portland Standard.

An old friend at Arcata sends the
Telephone clipping from Poyter's New
York; Spirit Of the Times which was
published more than thirty years ago.
1t consists of Letter from the Pa
citc" and is dated steamship Califor-
MIA, Pacific ocean, May 70, 1s49." The
value OF the little slip of paper is on
HANGED by the age which it has attained,
but to use it for the time being more
valuable for the remarkably wild state
ments which 1t contains. A sample ex-
tract will be evidence on that point:
There are NO good horses or stock of
any kind in California, and though
writer's IN your own, az well as other
journals, have praised its soil, / tell you
that California, under any circumstan-
ces, can never be an agricultural coun-
try. We now have on board some Of the
boys returning home. satisfied that Cali
fornla Is a humbug Ia all save its gold
mines."
We almost hope that the author of
that letter still lives, and that the fol-
lowing facts in refutation of the opin-
ious may meet his eye. 1t might be a
wonder to him to read that the low
est estimates made OF the wheat
yield in California for the year 1882
place it at 10000 tons; that the total
acreage of the vineyards for the year is
given at 100000, and the last years vim
tage produced 100000 gallons. It
might be satisfaction to him to learn
that at the end of thirty-three years,
California, az fruit-growing State is
in the lead Of any other-that she fur
nishes the markets of the Union, even
to the Atlantic eAahOard with tha first
fresh fruits of the year. He might be
pleased to learn that the same statement
will apply to California as a beef pro-
ducing State. and that her ranges are at
this time being drained to supply the
markets of States and Territories east
of the Rocky Mountains. And to close
this chapter it is only necessary to re-
mind him that the census statistics
show that in 1880 the State produced
3O4, 795, 600 feet Of lumber, 242, 400, 600
laths, 13s, ,7l8,000 shingles, 2,063, 600

A MURDER AT COLvILLE.-On Tues
day morning the dead body Of Joseph
Schaffer. an old German saloon keeper
living about mile this side of ColviIle,
was found lying on the floor behind his
own bar, with bullet hole through the
back. The window pane behind the
bar WIS shattered by the ball, evidently
fired from the outside. Apparently no
attempt to enter the building had been
made. Everything was undisturbed,
and about $3.50 in money was found in
the house. Schaffer was last seen on
Monday afternoon. He lived alone,
was universally liked and respected
throughout the valley and is not known
to have had an enemy in the world. 1t
is supposed by some that the dastardly
deed was done by tho Indians, as
Schaffer had frequently refused to sell

William Tell ran a hay ranch near
Bergelon about go years ago. Tell had
lived in the mountains all his life, aud
shot cha mois and chipmunks with
cross-gun till he was bad man
to stir up. At that time Switz-
erland was run principally BY a
lot of carpet -baggers from Austria, and
Tell get down on them about the year
1909. 1t seems that Tell wanted the
Government contract to furnish hay at
$45 a ton for the year 1905. and Gesler,
who was controlling the patronage of
Switzerland, let the contract to an Aus
trian who had big lot of condemned
hay further up the gulch. One day
Geeler put his hat upon a telegraph pole
and issued order 236, regular series, to
the effect that every snoozer who passed
down the toll road should bow to it.
Gesler happened to be in behind the
bush when FELL went by, and noticed
that Bill said "shoot the hat" and
didn't salute it, 50 he told his men to
gather Mr.. Tell in and put him in the
refrigerator. Gesler told him If he
would shoot crabapple from the head
OF his son at 200 yards with a crOss-eun
he would give him his liberty. Tell
consented, and knocked the apple higher
than Gilderoy's kite. Old Gesler, how
ever however. noticed another arrow
sticking in Williams girdle, and asked
what kind Of fowery break that was.
Tell told him that if he had killed the
kid instead of bursting the apple, he in
tended to drill a hole through the stom-
ach of Mr.. Gssler. This made Gesler
mad again, and he took Tell on picnic
up the river in irons. Tell jumped off
when he got a good chance and cut
across a bend in the river, and when
the picnic party came down he shet
