Lava Beds.

According to reports from this young
camp everything is looking well. A
small but very rich vein has been struck
in the Meteor mine, and q vein ten or
twelve feet in width has been struck in
the Morning Star mine that contains ore
in all parts of the same, that will aver
age from S75 to Sl00 n ton. 1t is the
intention of the Morning Star Company
to ship twenty-five tons of ore to the
reduction works in East Oakland, and if
the results are satisfactory mill will be
built at the Lava beds ms soon as posi-.
BILE.
The Clark Brothers are SLOWLY devel.
oping the Mammoth Chief, but are tax
ing out some good ore.
Mr.. Z. A. McDutiee has lease to run
in tunnel on the John Day mine, and
has several men to work in the same.
Their prospects for opening upa rich
mine are good.
The Last Chance mine, owned by
Messrs. Davis, Hartman, Myers and
Brenthaver, is being developed with
favorable results.
Work has been renewed on the Samp-
son mine by Abe BatemGn, and four men
are at work. A short time ago Mr..
Bateman had several assays taken, aver
age ore from the mine by q local assayer,
but the results did not satisfy him, so
he became discouraged, suspended oper.
ations in the mine and went to San
Francisco, and took some Of the pulp
along with him and had it assayed in the
city. The result was Sl65 better than
the former assay, so Mr.. Bateman re.
turned to camp considerably encouraged
and Immediately resumed operations on
the Sampson. While he was in the city
he also learned that the party in the
Lava Beds who was doing his assays was
trying hard to buy the mine as soon as
Bateman's lease expired.
A side-track is being put down at the
Lava Beds station for the accommoda.
ton of the freighting business to that

NoTwITHsTASDING the fact that the
Hon. James G.. Blaine has retired from
his Presidential candidacy, we observe
that quite a number of the Republican
constituencies are instructing for him.
They aro undoubtedly losing both their
time and energy, as the Plumed Knight
would SEQ his admiring brethren ID
before he would stand for Office in such
times as these. The Pine Tree states

ration that he is not candidate for

enced person, with the recollection oi
the Mulligan letters fresh in his mind, to
offer his breast as breakwater against
two consecutive Democratic tidal waves,
which are sure to eventuate in third.
At the same time let no one be sur.
prised il James q. should exert his
utmost efforts to persuade Arthur to
dare tho Presidential ordeal. A subtle,
Iago-like vengeance could not be more
surely gratified, the way matters now
look, than by withdrawal of Blaine,
with correlative prominence given by
him and his friends to the candidacy OF
Arthur. There would be something
very neat and Machavcllian about such
programme.

THIS morning the HERALD appears in
its new form. From the point of sym.
metry II is great advance on previous
issues. 1t not only, in its new shape,
promises greater ability to supply its
advertising patrons with space but it
begs to make its best bow to its old
patrons; and to assure them that in the
HERALD, in tho future as in the past,
they will have an organ enthusiastically
responsive TO the interests Of this
section, and one which, as far
as human patience admits of it,
will aim TO maintain the decencies ol
everyday life. The HERALD will be
chary Of entering upon unpleasant sub
jects, remembering that injunction ol
old Polonius TO Laertes, Beware of en-
trance to quarrel; but, being in, beaI
thyself that thy adversary may beware
OF thee" In the new career Of the HER
AID, while we shall carefully eschew
blackguardism, the people may look for
trenchant outgivings, and always in
their interest.

The Glossograpn.

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the Vienna Electrical Exhibition is
Gentilli's glossograph, a little instrument
by which speech is automatically repro
duced as soon us uttered. A small ap-
paratus is placed in the mouth OF the
speaker--in contact with the roof of bis
mouth, his tongue and lips--and on
being connected with an electro-mag
netic registering apparatus the sounds
are committed to paper. 1t is construct
cd in such a manner as not to cause any
Inconvenience TO the speaker. Neither
is it necessary that the voice should be
raised, as it reproduces a whisper as OK
actly as shout: the only condition is n
correct and distinct articulation. Accord
ing to the inventors calculation, ii will be
possible to write four or five times MS
fast by means of the glossograph as has
hitherto been possible even by the quick
est writer. AT first sight it appears as
il this invention were but an improve
ment upon Edison's phonograph; it is,
however, of much older date. 1t rests,
unlike the former, on an acoustic princi-
pie, and does not reproduce the sounds
in mieroscopical form. The chief OBJ
stacle to the introduction of the glosso-
graph, says the Pail Mall Gazette, will
be the difficulty in deciphering the char
acters, but.it is not impossible that with
the help of second automatic appara-
tus the charaters produced by the glosso-
graph may be translated into our COM
mon type-writing. The orthography
would doubtless appear strange, but in
these days of phonetic spelling this
might not long be hindrance.

Tons of Gold Mutton.
London Paper.l

If any one desires novel sensation,
let him leave the haunts of West End
line and penetrate the regions OF the
East to where the Lady Jocelyn, a ship
of over 1000 tons burden, is now dis
charging her cargo of frozen mutton in
the Victoria dock. The Great Eastern
Railway takes you there from Fem
church street in less than half an hour,
and, in return for your trouble, if the
5000 carcasses of sheep which lately ar
rived in her direct from Wellington,
New Zealand, are not already landed
and sent off to Smithfield, you Will be-
hold the solution of one of the problems
of the agc-the question, namely, of the
supply Of the London market with fresh
meats from the antipodes. 1t j only
two years since this new trade began.
1t costs $4,000 to fit ship like the Lady
Jocelyn with refrigerating appara'
tus, with the result that rooms are
provided for some 200 or 300
tons OF cargo at temperature which,
during three months voyage, quite
regardless of the heat of the tropics
through which the vessel sails after
rounding Cape Horn, is never allowed to
rise above freezing point, and is, for the
most part, far below it. The dock
laborers, as they work at the task OF
unloading, pause now and again to blow
on their hands, for they are working in
the climate of an English Christmas or
New Zealand July. The carcasses, each
wrapped in neat white shroud OF
sacSing, and that again coated over with
thick hoar frost, are hard as stones.
How is the cold produced? 1t is pro-
duced by steam engine of ll5 horse
power, which, setting in motion
"dry-air process" machine, fills
with an intense cold an interval
which is left between the sides
of the iced rooms and the sides OF the
ship, and also fills various channels OF
flues which cross and recross these ma.
rine larders. TO maintain the required
temperature the engine has to be kept
going thirteen hours out OF the twenty.
four, and consumes each day about two
and a.half tons of coal. The burning
question among the shippers is whether
the new trade, which will plainly be a
large one, will be best worked by steam
or by sail. Probably experience only
will decide. There is much to be said
on both sides A steamer would per-
form the Journey in little more than
half the time employed by a sailing ship.
On the other hand the Lady Joeelyn's
cargo has arrived in much better condi.
tion than that of steamer, the British
King, which preceded her by few

A Marine Bicycle.
toaklank independence |

The marine bicycle is soon TO be in.
troduced in this city. The new inven-
tion is IA combination of ''catamaran
boat, q bicycle, sail boat and marine
propeller, and as pleasure and touring
boat has received attention and praise
from all by whom it has been tried. il
consists of two boats of white pine, &c
feet long by 7 inches wide and
three feet apart, connected by
three center cross bars. Upon the two
center cross bars is fixed an inclined
plank, on which is mounted the ma
chinery, consisting of adjustable suspen.
sion saddle, pedals and movable handle
bar. To whiteoak mast is attached an
awning which may be readily converted
into a sail, or dispensed with altogether,
at pleasure. The propeller is operated
by shaft with an ingenious gearing
from the pedals on the mounting
plank. Directly in the rear of the
propeller is the rudder, controlled
by a positive motion tf the steer
ing bar. The operation of the machine
is identical with the action OF the
road bicycle, and can be run by anyone.
The management is simple and it is per.
fectly safe, cannot be upset and it seems
as if no possible combination Of circum.
stances could sink it. 1t may be run
forward or backward with equal facility,
and can be stopped at once by reversing
the propeller. A seat may be adjusted
in front of the mounting plank for car
rying passenger, or the saddle may be
replaced by q lady's tricycle. seat and
protective screen. The boat has beel
run by young lady from Portsmouth tc
Dover and return, a distance of p
miles, without unusual fatigue
With little practice the rider car
easily outspeed any row-boat oi
its length. A couple Of these boats ar,
soon to bo placed on Lake Merritt
when the public will have IN opportu
nifty to inspect them. A gentleman il
this city has secured the agency, and
when they have been introduced it vii
be common thing for citizens to mount
their bicycle boats and ride to and from
their business in San Francisco, entirely
independent of the ferry. The favol
with which the road bicycle has been
received as land vehicle will, nc
doubt, be accorded the marine bicycle al
a water craft.

THAT British Scarlet Woman, Mrs.
Langtry, the other day, rcaped the
fruits of her laboriously acquired and
brazen notoriety in Wall street, where
the jalseys-the Eastern equivalents oi
the hoodlums of this Coast-assembled
around her carriage and hooted her as
she descended from II to reach the office
OF her lawyer. The truth is that Mrs
Langtry is an infinitely more indecent
parsonage than was Lola Montez, in her
worst days. II is true that the latter
had been the mistress of the King Of Ba'
varia, as the Lily had been that of the
Prince of Wales, if pretty well authenti
Gated rumor is to be credited. But Lola
Montez, when she came to this country,
left NO husband behind, as Mrs. Langtry
has twice done, nor did she parade
around the country with brainless
dude, whose only recommendation was
his large bank account. The professed
courtesan was propriety Itself as COM
pared with this recreant British wife.
The only wonder to us has been that

American appreciation of this shameless
Jezabel. She is credited, the other day,
with having said that she is n wife only
in name. jess so! She need not have
taken the trouble to tell an observant
world fact SO obvious as that. 1t il
heartily to be hoped that her second
American campaign will be so unremun
erative as to exhaust the profits of hel

ONE of the most interesting phases in
Democratic politics in California, of
late, is the envenomed conflict made by
a portion of the Democratic press upon
their Railway Commissioners. We have
had no hesitation in expressing it as our
belief that this conflict was premature
and unjust. We emphasized our belief
in this matter by writing an Open Letter
to the Railway Commissioners who
were, for the moment, under the popu'
lar ban. We received, in reply, two
communications, from the Messrs. Car
penter and Humphreys, with which we
expressed a modified dissent. We
thought that men elected to represent
an energetic popular protest against
railway aggressions ought to have been
more prompt and sweeping in their ac-
tion. In the same article in which we
voiced this honest judgment, we said
that the true keynote would be found in
the action of the Railway Commissioners
upon freights. As journalist and not
as demagogue, we are obliged to say
that the Commissioners are coming up
to the requirements of duty, which we
were at pains to impress upon them, in
good style. They are probably do,
ing it of their own motion, because
CarpeI ter and Humphreys, whatever
other virtues they may lack, are light
ers" from the word "go." A reduction
on freights which concerns the farmer,
OF from thirty.iive to twenty per cent,
is an honest and sweeping reduction.
As beginning in the political game Of
adjustment, between the corporations
and the people, it is thing that calls
for due, methodical and conscientious
note. We have always thought that
our contemporary, the E1amiaer, has
been hasty; and that it has, with posi-.
bly, good motives, persistently played
into the hands of the enemy, with the
result of wearisome monotone in its
columns, and to the decided benefit oI
its adversaries. In honest truth, we are
obliged to say OF the present Railway
Commission of California, that, in botl
freights and fares, it has done more fol
the good of the people, in fraction of I
year, than all the previous Railwa,
Commissions Of this State put togeths
have done since lrwin's election as Gov
ernor, in 1875.

Ar some stage Of the sometime victor.
ious onward course of the Republican
party, in which adulation Of lavish
wealth will have to come to halt, the
American people will be obliged 10 con
front the question as to what depth Of
degradation, in which this Kotooing to
the moneyed power hai plunged tho
people, shall be the upmost deeps OF the
downward standard. The San Francisco
Chronicle, ia q late issue, has reviewed
a significant article, which lately ap.
peared in the New York Sun, and which
allowed that the millionaires of the old
days were mere p'gmies as compared
with those Of to-day. The Chronicle,
with an effrontery which challenges the
admiration of the devotees OF
pure cheek, asks to what this
tremendous aggregation OF wealth is ref
erableY It knows very well the source
of this progression Of riches, which is al
most in the geometrical ratio OF un-
checked rapacity. It knows that the
Republican party, in its State and ma
tional legislation, has aimed singly, from
New York to Alaska, at the aggrandizo-
ment Of the rich persons who have been
already aggrandizod, and at the enrich
ment of those who are already enriched
beyond the dreams of avarice. No
thought of the people, or of the hum
bio aspirations of the people. has en-
tered, at any stage of this lamentable
business, as result Of Chronicle
initiative. To-day, knowing that
the impoyerishment and debasement
OF the people are directly referable to
that Republican policy which has ere
ated Vanderbilts and Jay Goulds with
out number, the Chronicle is ready to
acclaim the Republican party in the
general, while il abuses 1t in the partic-
ular. Should the next National Con-
vention of the Republican party nomi.
nate Jay Gould for President, there is
little doubt that, after certain hesitating
deliveries, the Chronicle, notwithstand-
ing its frequent lessons to tentative
scholars, descendants of Crassus, OF old,
would "stand in" with him. That
journal, of the most recent civilization,
would coquette about tho proposition for
a time. but it would come up. with n
splendid aplomb, at the critical moment,
and for cause. No shoddy civilization
will halt long, unless it has to condone
for more grievous transgressions than
those which attach to the Republican
party, if the only condition lacking to
its virile representation is the hearty
fealty of the Republican party. Forum
ately the Republican party has to 90.

Mosher, brother Of the Mosher who ad.
mitted the Kidnapping OF Charlie Ross,
was lynched near Cheyenne five weeks
ago. Mosher begged that his life should
be spared twenty-four hours and said he
would give the world information for
which it had been seeking for years
past. He admitted having in custody
person he had held for ransom for more
than a year, and said he had been driven
TO the far West to avoid the pursuit of
detectives. The time was not allowed
aud the secret died with him. The
crime for which Mosher was lyncheI
was the killing of j. II. Wentgell and
