Very Exciting Ride Of Forty Miles on n
 Raft.
AAft. From the Chico Nev. Record.]


 From the Chico Nev. Record.l
 Ed Falconer, formerly railroad station agent at Durham, now working in the mills at Smoky Flat, came to Chico yesterday in the hume He started from the mountains about o'clock in the morning, when the at- mosphere was cold and crisp, with nearly everything covered with frost, making one wish for an overcoat. He mounted Q raft and showed off, and did not stop until he had reached warm and sunny station along the watery tide. Travelling in the Hume is dan gerous, but exciting sport. One is some- times gliding smoothly along on level water, and then is suddenly dashed forward on a down grade at an almost lightning speed, with the boat raft riding at a seeming an- gle of forty five degrees. Along the fumes, through the canons and over gorges can be seen some of the most picturesque scenery of the Sierras, which would make the heart of true artist leap with joy. Very few &C., cidents have occurred on the Sierra Lumber co ompany's Hume, but if there should be break at some of the high places, person riding along would suddenly be dashed into the Kingdom come" Riding down the Hume has a striking similarity to sliding down hill on a sled--it is fun to shoot downward with tremendous velocity, but difficult to ascend. The boat that was once made by one of our citizens whereby per proved 8 failure, as we never hear any more of it. It was the hope of the inventor to have his craft ascend the Hume by the aid of the water pressing against paddles like those of a river boat Large quantities of lumber are now being foated from the mountains daily, and person riding in the fumes en- counters great danger of being run into by floating timbers Men are employed to watch and work along the same as workmen on railroad. Their duty is to keep the passage-w clear and break up lumber col lisions. They have sections to work, and can always be seen moving along the side walk on the Hume. Very few persons are allowed to ride on the Hume, and it is only by hard efforts that the mill hands can get permission to make the trip to Chico. Boxes of trout are sent down by the tourists to their friends in the valley, and few years ago this wonderful forty mile length of Hume l was used as sort of message carrier in bringing down orders for supplies and calls for physicians, the messages being written on board or nailed up in 8 small box. But now, since we are connected with the moun- tains by telephone, the custom of mes sage sending by water has ''gone up the | fume."

It is crime under the laws of the United States to sell intoxicating liquors to the h. dians. but ths question has been raised in Cal ifornia whether this was to cover the sale of mild native wines. There is distinction be- tween this statute and enactments prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors generally or on Sundays. At any rate, in a case that has been prosecuted in San Francisco, on account of Indian Agent Lawson, Judge Hoffman of the United States Court expressed grave doubts on the subject. Drinking little weak wine,' he said, ''is not the liquor con. templated by the law" and the District At torney expressed the opinion that it was & strained proceeding ''to pick up man for selling bottle of wine to thirsty Indian
 who is travelling forty or fifty miles away from civilization to consume with his food.' The question is one, however, that is yet to be made the subject of an explicit decision.

On the twenty-eighth day of this month 8
 veterinary department will be opened in
 Harvard University, and the regular course
 of the veterinary students will be three years. The subsidiary branches to be stud ! jed by the veterinary aspirant are taught in the other departments of the university, while ample preparations will be made for the theoretical and practical instruction in the veterinary art. It is probable that this experiment will result successfully, and that it will do much to improve the quality of 'horse doctoring" in this country.

acO Morgan.

A Coroner's investigation was held yes
terday over the remains Of Jacob Morgan,
(instead of David Morgan, as reported
Thursday, by mistake,) but adjourned for
another meeting to-day. One member of
the Jury had a notion that the old man
had been murdered, and he fancies he can
get evidence to s~ubstantiate his belief. 1t
is possible he is correct. He insists upon
a post-mortem examination. We have not
been informed whether such an examine
ton will be held or not. There isn't any
thing to be examined but skin and bones,
and not a great deal Of skin. OF course,
If there is any suspicion of foul play
there should be a thorough investiga-
ton; but if there are no reasonable
grounds for such apprehension, the u
ty should be saved the expense of a post
mortem examination, which the medical
gentlemen do not make for nothing. We
learned yesterday that the deceased has a
nephew. Benz. Morgan, living at Pitts
burg, Pennsylvania, and who was formerly
engaged in smelling and railroading at
Salt Lake. He ia a wealthy man, and
offered his Uncle Jacob a good home with
him and money, if he would come and live
with him. The old man preferred his in
dependent life on the hills, as prospector,
and would not accept the kind offer Of his
nephew. The remains Of the deceased
will be buried to-day at 8 O'Clock, from
schwamb's. All friends and acquaintance
are invited to attend the funeral.

Spend Your Money at Home.

The SENTINEL has had occasion several
times to speak of the injurious and I'M
neighborly practice OF sending abroad to
purchase such goods as we can just as well
get at home. Our Reno contemporary,
the Gazette, makes some timely suggestions
on the same subject that are applicable to
Eureka as well as to Reno: "Quite a num-
Der of the citizens OF Reno are reported as
buying their groceries and supplies in Gal
ifornia instead of dealing with our home
merchants, on the grounds that they can
save money by doing SO. The men who
practice such a policy arc making a great
mistake. We doubt if they can lay down
goods any cheaper, if as cheap, as they can
buy here. Our merchants are doing bust
ness on a small profit, and are selling eX-
| cellent goods at very low prices. This is
true of every kind of goods, and even if it
were not, the saving in time, the advantage
of seeing what they buy and the certainty
of getting good measure and full weight,
would be an inducement to buy here. In
addition, however, is the argument that
every cent spent here helps to loosen up
the grip of hard times. Every little atom
added to Reno's trade increases the value
of every lot and every farm in thet town
and county. 1t gives her that much more

ereases her facilities as q buyer in the mar

THE
What the Anti.Chinese League Pro-
pGScs to do.

pesos to do.
The Anti-Chinese League of San Fran
cisco proposes a plan Of anti-Chinese
organization on a system Of voting pre-
cinct branch clubs, the Central Club to be
known as "The Central Club OF the Anti
Chinese League Of San Francisco" The
idea Of the club will be the boycotting OF
the Chinese. The calibre of the organ
izers may be judged by the following ex-
tract from their address to the people:
There should be no conflict between
labor and capital under any circumstances;
in this cause it is absolutely necessary that
the employer and the employe affiliate,
and each bear his share of the burdens
and sacrifices that will necessarily ensue.
Let us for the present be our W servants,
work ourselves and teach our children to
work. Let us lay aside the robes of ex-
travagance and wrap about us those Of
economy. Let us become a self-support-
ing and self-sustaining people. The best
and wealthiest citizens of this community
are participating in the organization of
this League. If the entire people will
take this pledge and keep it, the presence
among us of this despicable and degrad-
ing race is a matter Of brief duration.
And II the demand for white labor then
exceeds the supply, we are assured, by the
cooperation of our wealthy members,
whose philanthropy and generosity have
been tested on less vital occasions, that
arrangements will be made to bring here
ample white immigration.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
HOW Are We to Swear the Heathen
Chinee?

WV wv as LAlt AleOunen
Chinee?
On the evident presumption that the
Chlnaman is to become a permanent ele-
ment in our population, tie New YORK
Herald is at some pains to determine how
we are going to get from him on the wit
ness stand "the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth" 1t saws:
Mr.. Bradlaugh's case in England has
caused general attention to be given there
to the ceremonial of oaths, and has in
spired officers having charge of their ad-
ministration with unwonted e~xactness in
the execution of their duty. 1t was the
same when a Parsee appeared as a witness
before a Court in London a few years ago.
Inc magistrate deliberated whether he
should not require him to be sworn hold
ing the tall OF a COW, but as this would
nave involved hosting a COW into the
courtroom or an adjournment to a barn
yard, he was persuaded to abandon that
more solemn form and suffer the witness
to make q declaration that he would tell
the truth holding in the palm of his open
hand ga sacred relic which he was accus-
toned to carry about on his person as a
charm"
What form of oath is binding on the
"heathen Chinee" has been a debatable
matter frequently in this country. Mr..
Williams, in his "Middle Kingdom" a
work OF authority concerning Chinese life,
declares that in judicial proceedings in
emma an oath is as unknown an ~institu-
ton as a jury. 'Nothing like an OATH
he says, sis required of witnesses" there.
A clerk of a Western Territorial Court ad-
vises US, however, that in his experience
he often has known Cinnamon to be re-
CURED, as Q preliminary of testifying in
Judicial proceedings, to make q promise to
tell the truth accompanied by breaking a
dinner plate or by cutting off the head of
a cock. Notwithstanding the positive as
sertion of Mr.. Williams above quoted, the
latter ceremonial certainly is practiced in
China. For example, Dobell, a well known
Oriental traveller fifty years ago, wrote:
In Canton, when they wish to swear a
witness, a live cock and a knife are pre-
sented to him and he is obliged to cut off
the cocks head at the moment he takes
the oath. Indeed the cutting off of the
cocks head is considered in the same light
as we do kissing the Bible; though I doubt
much if it be really held equally sacred in
a country where morals are so debased.
The subject is not a trivial one nor de-
serving of only jocose consideration in
this city, where the Chinese are increasing
in numbers and in the intricacy of their
dealings with the rest of the population,
and where the price Of poultry is so high
that it might be a very substantial item of
public expenses in criminal proceedings.
In civil suits we presume that some way
could be contrived to require the party
calling a Chinese witness to furnish the
knife and the cock at his own cost.

Good News from Tuscarora.

An important strike, says the Elko In
dependent, has just been made in the
Grand Central mine at Tuscarora. The
vein is reported to be four feet in thick
ness and the ore Of a high grade. An i'm.
portant discovery is also reported
to have been made in the tun-
mel which was being run for the
ledge in the Basin mine owned
by the Ford Brothers. The lead
struck was a blind one and is said to
be both large and rich. These late discov-
cries in unexpected places are very en-
couraging, and will doubtless have the eff
feet of reviving interest in prospecting the
camp, which will certainly lead to further
disclosures of q similar nature, thus prov
ing the we'll grounded opinion Of mining
men that the old camp is better than a
majority Of the new ones to stay with yet.

gives the following directions to those who
desire to fud the comet: Late in the even
ing, say about II O'Clock, you Will see
pretty well up in the northeast heavens the
bright star Vega, in the Harp. 1t may
be certainly recognized by means of two
faint stars close by it, with which it makes
a beautiful little triangle. The comet is
almost on a line drawn from Vega to the
Pole star, and you can find its place by
noting that it is below and q little to the
left Of the Head of the Dragon, which is
marked by a lozenze shaped figure lying q
few degrees northwest Of Vega.
