The quick eye can trace many strange
resemblances among the lines of form and
color in the broken ranges that fill this
country. On the Pyramid road the
shaggy head of Scotch poodle is very
plain, and on another point two brown
elephants lie side by side with their faces
to the south. The divide between Dixie
and Last Chance valley is full of old cas-
ties, ruins. bears, lions and other figures.
The road to Susanville is also prolific in
such outlines. Shakespeare rock at
Tahoe has become quite famous in its
way. But the most noted object in this
line is to be seen on the road from Sierra
valley to Sierra City. On the western
slope, about two miles down from the
summit, one may see in southeasterly
direction, at distance of FIVE miles,
what IS known as Seal Rock. From the
wagon-road it is the exact counterpart of
the seal rock at the Cliff House and on
the very apex lies large seal, as perfect
as though it was living animal. Viewed
from the opposite side the pile of rocks
represent an almost perfect image of a
man on his knees, as though in the act of
praying. Travellers are forcibly struck
with the picture and frequently have the
stage stopped that they may get good
long look at it. 1t certainly is curious
sight and well repays quite long journey
to behold.-lNevada City Transcript.

George Templeton, of Woodland. has
returned from trip to Ainsworth, Walla
Walla county, Washington Territory.
He reports that during his sojourn of
five months in that Territory and in Or
cgon, he enjoyed only about ten day
sunshine. During the Summer the
smoke from innumerable forest fires OBJ
scured the sun like fog. and the setting
in OF early Winter rains quenched the
fires. but yelled the sky in clouds.
Ainsworth is by rail about 400 miles
from Portland, and is level country.

Day FuRNAcE.-The furnace at Bristol
is undergoing thorough overhauling at
present so that when it starts running
there will be no cause for stopping.
Foreman Richard Walsh is now engaged in
refining it and making all necessary re-
pairs. The bins are all filled with coal
and the teams are steadily hauling ore.
Everything is being got in the best con-
dition for long and steady run. The
furnace will start up about the first OF
next month.
kINGFIsHER. The ore in this claim is
developing grandly, The ore recently
encountered ON the tunnel level, is now
six feet in width. The last assays had
made by j. G. Lynch of the ore on the
tunnel level showed 48 per cent. lead
and $57 in silver, Pointers all indicate
that an extensive body Of ore will be de-
veloped soon. The sinking of the shaft
is being pushed ahead, and ore continues
at the bottom.
THE troubles of the Bristol S. NJ.
Company will soon be all settled and the
company will resume operations at an
early day. The company's mines con
tain large quantities Of low grade rock,
which will average $50 in silver. This
ore is rebellious, but the company nov

Board OF Aldermen.
Another illustration may be found in !. The
Dock Department. Three or four years ago an
embezzlement was discovered there. 1t was
reported to the Mayor, but no effort was made
to guard against like thefts in the future. The
whole matter was kept from the public FOL
about two years, when another defalcatlon was
discovered. Two years later there was still
another theft of money in the same department,
and the thief was allowed quietly to step out
No attempt has ever been made to punish those
denquents, and about the same business
methods have continued in that department up
to the present time.
Take another department, the head
of which stands high in the eslma-
ton of tho publIc-the Controller. Several
months ago he discovered that thieves
had been at work in his office. He kept the
information from the public until it leaked
out one month ago. Then it was made known
that $14S,000 had been taken. No doubt
dead clerk was the principal in the theft; Dut 1t
could only been made by the connlyance
or incOmpctency of others. NO one mas yeC
been discharged or arrested.
Not many months ago the Commissioner OF
Jurors made great discovery i'll his Office.
There had been fraud and dishonesty and a
large loss of public money. No arrests fol-
lowed and the only outcome of the
matter was the passage of Dill
by the Legislature to increase the allowance
10 the Commissioner of Jurors. Quite recently
there were accusations against the management
of the property bureau in the Police Depart
mcnt. The Commissioners of Accounts have
made an examination, and they find that there
are serious defects in the business methods OF
that bureau, but they go no further. Doubt
less no other officials will go even so far
Ten DAYS have hardly elapsed since two
Tax Commissioners made serious charges
against previous business methods in that
department. Park Commissioner Nielc an
nounccd the finding of like defects in the
management of the Parks. The Charity Com
msSoners discharged a clerk for collision
with contractor, which had cost the city
$4,000. The Public Works Department Is
under cloud. and the District Attorney
Office to which the public should look for
redress foY these wrongs, Is in equally bad
odor. only few day, ago there were stolen
from that office indictments that had been
found against law-brcakcrs.

Closely following the adjournment of the
Legislature came an address % the people PIE
pared by the Republicans of that body in which
the course Of the majority during the session
WAS candidly reviewed and sharply criticised.
The address asserted that the majorty-the
Democratic Senator's and As,cmblymcn-had
proved rccrcaut 10 the high trust committed 20
them. that they had hcnt their energies to for
warding schemes for grabbing Offices; that
they had -hirkcd civil service reform that they
had gerry Wandered the Congressional dis
tlicts; that they had played fast and loose on
tie prison contract system; That Is a result OF
their disregard of economy the tax rate had
been Increased from =. H. mills in 1oS2 to 3.21
mill, in loo3 that they had amended the ex-
ci,e laws solely in tie interest Of the rum
seller; that without the shadow of an honest
reason they had wrcstcd a seat in the Assembly
from M Spyaguc, who Wa, fairly elected, and
given il to man who was not elected; that
instead cf reducing they added largely to the
burdens of the taxpayers.

indictment Of the Democracy # New-Yorl, Us

4 TRATESTY or REFORM.

There could be no greater tdvesty on nu-
ncipal reform than the action of the last Lcgis-
laturo on that subject, and the recent nomi-
nations OF the Mayor. In excuse for giving lis
"Nick" IIaushton and "Bily' Mitchell for
Excise Commissioners the Mayor says
that he cannot DO better, so long rs the
Aldermen retain a veto power over his
appointments. The only answer of the Demo-
cratic Legislature toa similar statement made
by the Mayor in Albany was the passage of a
bill extending the term Of the Aldermen TO
two years. That is fair illustration of what
NAV be expected from the Democratic party
in the way of municipal reform The
course of The Legislature was in
harmony with that of the local
authorities SmccuTcs continue 10 be multi
Piled and honest business methods ignored
Abuses are CLOSED over, but not corrected; de-
falcatons are covered up and cxtcnuatcd, but
not punished.
II was only on Thursday last that the Board
of Estimate and AppOrtlonment illustrated this
method of attending to the city affairs
The president Of the Excise Board,
who has been for three wears
in that department, asked for an increased
appropriation Tor the employment of inspectors.
He said that the appointment of more inspectors
had brought increased revenue to the city. The
only Republican member OF the board exposed
the fallacy of that statement. The records
showed that the Excise Department had almost
doubled the number Of its inspectors dur
ing election times, and had in those
months collected one-half less than when the
smallest number of inspectors were employed
and that the yearly revenue was much less
now than i'll previous years. The appropra-
ton was increased nevertheless; and when a
motion was made to compel the Excise De-
partment to make an itemized estimate of It's
expenses, it was voted down. Fifty enough,
the champion of the excise methods was the

One of the first things which will occur to
the reader of the Popes letter to the Irish
Bishops is the wonder that it should have
been delayed so long. If such condemnation
of murder and other illegal methods of redres,
had been uttered at the beginning of the pres
emit Irish agitation, the clergy in Ireland could
have done much more to prevent crime than
they can now do stO repress it. Familiarity
with wickedness breeds contempt of priest; and
the Pope has handicapped his clergy wofully by
his long and singular hesitation to take the step
which he finally has made. The letter will
certainly have II discouraging effect upon the
fund now being raised In Ireland for Mr. Par

A Horrible E,1peris,,ce.

Two fishermen in dory were caught
IN the whirlpool Of the Basin Of Miras,
near Cape Split, Nova Scotia, on We'd
nesday last. They were pulling in their
nets and drifted nearer the whirlpool
than they meant to. In endeavoring to
pull the boat out OF danger the wrist Of
one ofthe men, named Dakin, gave out
and the boat was dragged into the
whirlpool and capsized. Gardiner, the
companion, caught on net buoy, but
In moment both men were sucked
down to great depth, the weight Of the
water upon them being intensely
painful. Then they both rose, and as
Gardiner was about to advise Dakin what
to do in order TO save himself, they both
went down again. That time, says the
rescued man, both felt sure that their
time had come; still, almost suffocated,
they arose once more. After coming to
the surface of the second whirlpool they
hnd only time to draw breath or two
when they were sucked down into the
third. Gardiner very nearly perished
while under the surface this time, but
upon rising again he found his compan-
Ion near him. He spoke to him but
found that he was corpse. Gardiner
suoceeded in reaching his dory and clunc
V II all night. Strange. says an account,
Dakin's body fioated all night on the
surface, and no matter which way Gard
Inc, turned his head the corpse appeared
IN view. Shortly after daylight some
hshcrmen rescued Gardiner and recov-
cred the corpse. Gardiner was driven
almost insane by his horrible experience.
