 persons, but never by respectable people.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There is much talk about the causes of the Igreat floods in the West, and one of the most |pepular and plausible theories is that shs 7s7i |struotion of the forests has had something Ito do with them. But in opposition to this 1t is pointed out that there was more wood
 land when the Ohio had it's great rises in 1882 and 1847 than there is at present.
 The world moves. even that part of it called Kentucky. It is said that few years since not one of the colored people in Crit Il tenden county could read. Now there is al newspaper owned and conducted by coloredI men in that county, and few schools like wise; while decided advance is reportedlinI the general condition of these people.

An Ideal Bohemian.
tCourier- journal.l

Among the Bohemians-that race of intellects without character, which has contributed to the great cities of the world their most brilliant and disreputa- ble elements-there has been, time out of mind, tradition that society would in the end fall under the influence of the Bohemians, and come to be ruled by a Bohemian king. Napoleon Bonaparte was in his way Bohemian and Mira beau was entirely so. But the great French man who lies dead without the barriers of Paris was pre-eminently the ideal con- seera,ed iA the imagination of the true Bohemian. If he had lived, and if he had reached. as doubtless he would have done. the summit of power, he would have been a Bohemian king. though not king of Bohemia. for he would have disappointed the hopes and expectations of the tribe quite as much as Prince Hal. come 10 the throne, disappointed those of Sir John. Yet was Gambetta Bohc- mian: big-brained. big-hearted and big inspired, with an intellect perfectly clear and stable, courage infalliblc and a temperament radically irregular. He was not a soldier of fortune. like Gari- baldi nor a bizarre, though princelt ad- venturer, like Disraeli. He created the republic, just as Cavour created united Italy. and Bismarck the German empire. That he went out of office under the sus- piclon of having designs upon his own child, on whose growth to maturity hIS fame rested. only shows the freakishness of popular opinion. the hekleness of for tune and the unreasoning ranoor of par ty spirit. He lad down absolute power when he had il. His subsequent; exit from official place was an act of obedi- enCc 10 convictions, having their foot in his love of country and his self-respcct. Then 1t was that all Bohemia turned loose upon him 2: and. httle pens an: biz exudIng the,r malice and siander. the king bee Bohemian of them all the in famous Alfonso Daudet. wrote of him by far the most sooundrelly piece of fiction that ever disgraced even ihe disgraceful library of French fiction. II is said that Gambetta had grown hypoehondriac. If this be SO his premature ehd may be considered in the light of deliverance and blessing. The man who Is not able to stand out agalnst ilcs and liars. and all ther devices does well to die and make an and ont And so this one. whose fame will live after him. Albeit Bohemian, he was a patriot a states man and an orator, who. when France had no head and no heart. gave il both !: brought order out of chaos, and founded system that will survive. Undoubtedly his career was wretched and his death was its happiest episode; such as he having their true fame and reward in their immortality. and the life awaiting them beyond the grave.

Equal to a Gold Mine.
Exchange.

A purchaser of land in California al- ways stands chance of finding it out to be gold-bearing, or to possess stores of quicksilver, copper, or other hidden min eral wealth. One of these surprises has befallen Dr. E. T. Brunette, of Oakland, who bought a hill near Los Gates. about sixty miles below San Francisco, for use as pasture ground. It was necessary to dig, in order to deepen a well, and a large number of blocks that looked like ordinary stones were taken out and thrown on one side in heaps Some of these stones, being afterward used to build fire upon for cooking purposes, were found to be highly combustible, burning with a bluish flame. Further examination showed that they were simply solid blocks of sulphur. and that the whole hill is substantially an inn mense mass of this mineral. With sul- phur selling at Seo ton, Mir. Burnette's purchase has turned out to be a greater mass of treasure than many gold mines

Vincent church had been visited by ghouls.

graves aud had also removed bodies.
These rumOrS grew thicker in the past few
days, and one that the grave of q we'll

buried il the cemetery, had been robbed,

tives, caused them to take im mnediate steps
to ascertain she truth Arrangements
were made to have tie grave opened, and
this was done on Thur ,Sday last, when it
was found that the corpse had not been

among the people in that section as to the
theft of bodies from other graves, but it
is not thought that any other graves will
be opened at present.

OBITUARY.
death Of the Fostm.s,sr os.sr.l.

Death OF the POstm0otee 0000Hal.
Timothy O. Howe, postmaster general
of the United States, died yesterday after
nom at the residence Of his nephew, Col.
James Fl. Howe. in Kenosha, Wis. Mr..
Howe caught severe cold q week ago,
which developed into pneumonia, and was
the cause of his death. Mr.. Howe was a
native of Maine, and 67 years of age. He
was q lawyer by profession. In 1S45 he
was elected to the Maine Legislature, but
in the latter part of that year heemigrated
to Wisconsin. He was elected circuit
judge in that state in 1850, but resigned
that Office five years afterwards. He was
elected United States senator in 1861, and
held that position by repeated re- elections,
unit! 1870. The dinner to have been
given by the president to General Diaz
and the reception to the same guest ar
ranged by Secretary Frelinghuysen, will
not take place, owing to tho death of
Postmaster General Howe.
Secretary Folger is now suffering from
erysipelas of the face and head, induced by
a severe cold, but his physician reported
him much improved last night. The dis
ease, it is said, "is aggravated by lowered
vitality and an impoverished condition of
the blood, due to overwork and imperfect
nutrition, but it is not thought that there
is any reason for special apprehension" .
c. G. Fulton, editor and proprietor of
| the Baltimore american. who has been
seriously i'll Tor several days, was reported
somewhat better last night.
