Is IT A NEW DIsCOVERY9 ?
The story told Us BY = Reliable Party.

Earlythis week G. Palmtag, Of the
firm of Palmtag & Wilson, started
for visit to the Ceur d'Alene gold
mines. He never reached there, but
found diggings 40 miles nearer Spo-
kane Falls that promise to equal II
not eclipse the better known field.
Mr.. Palmtag is a reliable gentleman
and there IS no reason to doubt his
story, as far as it goes, as he is very
reticent, and is under promise not to
"give it away" for some time. We
learned this mucR however. He
assembled the Ceur d'Alene river but
asshOrt distance when be found a
miner busily engaged working a
claim, and it was turning out i'm
mensely rich. AS proof of this Mr..
Palmtag Has a quantity of coarse
nuggets, and a piece of quartz, as
large as hickory nut, incrusted with
pure gold. II the ledge from which
the piece was detached would hold
out equally as rich it would run from
5000 to $4,000 to the ton! The
gold is similar to that from the CBur
d'Alene mines. II this find turns
out as we are led to believe, there
are placer mines, and wonderfully
valuable ones, near at hand. We
will make careful inquiry and hope
to be abletO report definitely upon
this new discovery in our next issue.

railroad company expect a small
force Of employees to do 50 much

Representative Dingley of Maine has in- troduced bill authorizing the examination and licensing of masters of vessels in the coast.Wise trade, as pilots, and vessels con- manded by captains SO licensed would be ex- empted from taking or paying for the ser- vices of any State pilot. This bill will not of course be favored by the pilots who infest the harbor of New. York and are heavy bur- den upon commerce. For if it should pass it would probably be amended in year or two so as to include the foreign as we'll as the coast-wise trade in American hands. The Journal of Commerce says concerning the matter: Vessels whose masters are foreigners, although excluded from the provisions of the law, would indirectly reap the benefits of it. For the work once begun by the Federal authority will not cease until the entire control of the pilotage of all the ports will be assumed by the general government. It is not conceivable thas the Federal charges per ncitted for pilotsgs service would be as exor- bitant as those which the State of New York has 50 long allowed to be levied on com merce. At the worst, the tax would not be more burdensome than the one already i'm posed. So, on all accounts, the foreign and coastWiss commerce of New York has no mo- tive in protesting against tho suggested change; but, on tho contrary, has every req son to hope that it would be beneficial if made. The only active opponents of such legislation in Congress will be the interested pilots, and their motives in demanding the indefinite continuance of a system from which commerce has suffered so many years will not bear impartial examination anywhere.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

sEnglish as She is Spoke: Her Seconds Part, is, as the name implies, a continua- tion of the selections from Seahor Carolino's books, which have made 50 much amusement wherever they have been read during the last few months. This part is quite as amusing Gs the other. The book contains an intro duction by James Willington, and is evident ly an American production and not an Eng fish reprint. It is for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 Sarah Tytler has written book on Marie Antoinetts, which is published in New York by G. P. Putnam's sons. The book is not a history of the French revolution, but sim pie story of the unhappy Queens life and death; of her beauty and innocence, her gayety and love of splendor of the growth of serious and womanly feeling in her; of her husband and children. her friends and enemies of the demons in human shape who made the horrors of the French revolu- tion, and who butfeted, insulted, tortured and killed the innocent Queen. It is the saddest of sad stories; and Miss Tytler's volume is crowded with incidents, action and sketches of noted persons. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 A book by William Howe Downes entitled Spanish Ways and By-Ways' affords inter esting reading. The author starts in Paris. From there he goes to Granada in leisurely way. describing halts of greater or less dura- ton in Burgos, the storied capital of old Castile; in Madrid the ''mushroom metrop- oils" of modern Spain; and in gay and pros porous Seville. From Granada tha route bonds back to the north by way of sleepy Cordova and Madrid with the EscoriaI. to France once more and here Bayonne, Biar- ritz and Pau, with the neiRhboring health resorts of Faux -Bonnes and Eaux-Chaudes in the heart of the Pyrenees, are described with just enough of detail and of suggestion to give one desire to travel over the same charming route. A special chapter is devoted to the Royal museum of the Prado In Se- vile again he has special chapter devoted to the school of painters represented in the Provincial museum of that city.

NEW ARGUMENT
 The Palladium being unable to meet our points in reference to the City court has picked up dummy" in the shape of an al- legged disappointed reformer and given him a drubbing. The case of our con- temporary is rather worse than that of the boy who after having re- ceived "a good icking'' at the hands of an other boy endeavored to revenge himself by making up faces at that other boys sister. We feel sorry for ''the dummy" but VIC do not see how kicking him settles the question as to whether the City. court needs three as- sistants. It seems impossible for our con- temporary to discuss any question in 8 spirit of courtesy and fairness. It seems to grow "personal" in just about the proportion that it gets worsted. We have discussed the offices of the assistants in the City court purely es part of the question of municipal expense which is at present interesting the New Haven public. In the same article in which we spoke of the City court we also brought up the subject of the consolidation of the city, town and State elections. All our contemporaries except the Palla- dium have likewise discussed the City court and have agreed with our views. We can see no occasion for the spirit which the Palladium took on at the very opening of it's dispute with us. We have not criticised the officers of the City court, whom the Pal ladium seems to have under it's especial care, nor cast any reflections upon the manner in which they are performing their duties. We have simply said, and say now, that there is no need of paying one official that another may be idle part of the time. And this point the Palladium has not met and cannot meet and hence it's personalities. It's insinuation that the JOURNAL AND COURIER is lending it's columns to some outsider strikes us as about as sensible as it would be for us to charge the judge of the City court with producing the astonishing articles concerning the court which have appeared in the Palladium.

Monsignor Capel lectured in Chiokering Hall New York, Thursday evening on ''Di- vorce," and some of his reparks were very bold. For instance, he said: ''The clergy of all denominations are continually preaching about the evils of divorce, but they have not the courage of their own convictions. They have great part to do in reforming it. Let them refuse to marry people who have been divorced and that will go 8 long way toward correcting the evil. There is 8 great hue and cry against Mormonism, but there is in truth very little difference between polygamy and marriages of divorced persons. The main difference is that one is having many wives at once, and the other many in succession. The principle is the same in both" Rev. MT. Bacon called the remarriage of divorced persons 'consecut1ve polygamy."
