A most remarkable trial is in progress in
Lafayette, Indiana, revealing the littlOness
OF man and the heroism Of woman who
is defending her fame and womanhood
AGAINST the slurs and insinuations Of lot Of
conspirators who have vowed u determine
ton 10 ruin her character. Why? The
lady, Mrs. Helen NJ. Cougar, editsa weekly
temperance paper, and in her warfare on
the anti.temperance element, which was
conducted with vim and earnestness, she
aroused the bitter enmity Of the chief oil
police Of the city, who undertook to
blacken her reputation and smirch her fair
name by systematic ISLANDERS. The
yillainy ofsuch work cannot be too heartily
and universally condemned, not because
Mr. Helen N. Cougar Is the editor Of a
temperance paper, and that she is opposed
by interests inimical TO the cause she ad.
yocatss, but for the reason that she has
established beyond the peradventure OF a
doubt that she Is virtuous and worthy
woman; and being such she ought to re-
ceiye the homage and respect due her sex.
Further, q very worthy and honest
gentleman Is made to suffer with her. 1t

vigorous attacks on the manner in which
the chief OF police conducted his office and
abused the power vested in him by the
people made this officer very uncomfort.

the ear OF the editor Of another paper. The
story was published with all the revolving
details OF the imaginary scandal. Mrs.
Cougar was shocked at first, but soon
awoke from her surprise and promptly in

publisher. AS a proof Of Mrs. Cougars
standing she is constantly in receipt OF
letters Of sympathy and confidence from
some ofthe most noble women in the land.

MINING NOTES.

A 900-pound bowlder, very rich in gold,
was found last week in the Chinese claim
on the south side of Omega.
Many Montana miners are travelling to
the Ceur d'Alene mountains, where itch
gold discoveries are reported.
Billings, NJ. T., has the coal fever, and
there are almost daily reports of the dis
covery Of coal lodges near that place.
The quartz excitement at Trinity con-
tinues, although no remarkably rich dis
coveries have been reported for some weeks.
1t is claimed that in Reese River Dis
trict twenty million dollars have been
produced in twenty years by the silver
mines.
A number of citizens from Cotton, and
some parties from San Bernardino, paid
Temsscal a visit and relocated the tin
mines at that place lately.
Some fine specimens of coarse gold are
being washed out in Piru District, Los
Angeles. This Is an old placer district

The deposit of plumbago recently found
near Washee City seems to be showing up
well. 1t still remains to be determined
whether the ore is sufficiently pure to pos.

Says the Downieville Messenger The
Rainbow Company few days ago struck
very rich quartz in their ledge at Chips,
near Allegheny. Monday 81, 900 in large.
sized specimens were taken out, one OF
which is valued at about $500.
The Nevada Transcript says; Three or
four old miners got together couple OF
days since and named fourteen quartz
mines within a radius of two and half
miles OF the city's center that are paying
properties. They also showed fifteen
claims in the same district that are pro-
ducing pay ore and have every indication
OF soon becoming paying mines.

THE REMAINS OF RrcHEI1Eu.

An article in the April number of the
Gazette des Beaur ArtS reminds the world
of the fate of Cardinal Richelieu's remains
"The King of the King, as the people
nicknamed him, was entombed In the full
ness of his glory in the vaults of. the Sor-
bonnie Church. One day, some sixteen
years ago, the Mayor of little village in
Brittany presented himself before the EN-
peror Napoleon III. He opened small
box which he brought under his arm, un.
wrapped the parcel which it contained,
and drew from it human mask. The
skin was dried up and wrinkled, the eyes
deeply buried in their sockets, the mouth
contracted, the teeth perfect. The beard,
mustsches and eyebrows were still in their
places, and the whole was covered with a
yellow varnish like an anatomical speei-
men. Sire, said the Mayor, you be-
hold all that remains OF Cardinal Richie
lieu" In the month of December, 1893,
when a Revolutionary party pillaged the
tombs of the Sorbonne, one of the soldiers
entered the vault which contained the
body of the Cardinal, and finding that the
mask of the face, doubtless in order to
facilitate some process of embalming,
had been sawn off from the rest OF
the head, possessed himself of it
AID displayed it in triumph to the
spectators, who thought that he had him
self cut off the great mans head. Subse-
quently a halter named Cheval possessed
himself of the trophy and hid it in cup
board at the back of his shop. The ninth
Themidor came the halter, in alarm, gave
the mask in charge to one of his customers,
the Able Armez, who carried it with him
to Brittany and gave it to his brother.
The brother, finding that insects were at
lacking the relic, consulted the village
apothecary, by whose advice it was var
nished. 1t was this gentleman's son who
brought it to Paris in 1866, and in Deem
Der of that year it was restored with great
ceremony to its place under the monument
of the Cardinal in the presence of the
Archbishop of Paris, Monsignor Darboy,
the Duke of Richelieu. and great gather
ing of notabilities. Since that day the
Emperor has died in exile, the Archbishop
of Paris has been shot, and the last of the
name of Richelieu has died without issue.
The drawing is by NJ. Maurice Cottier,
who died last year.
