The following in relation to an old
and well-known citizen Of Grass Valley,
CAL, we clip from the Grass Valley Union
Of the Goth instant: On Sunday DR.. Jones,
assisted by Drs. Conn and Harris, ampu-
tated the right leg Of VIM. DAVIS below the
knee, gangreen having set in and the
operation having become necessary in the
hope of saving the patients life. It was
found that the arteries were ossiied. and
the blood circulation stopped. The opera
tion was skilfully performed and the
patient 0 rallied from the shock. The
flow OF blood was not as great as hoped
for, showing a more diseased condition Of
the limb than was anticipated. During
the night Mr.. DAVIS symptoms were IN
favorable, and yesterday still less encour-
aging, it appearing as II the system was
affected by blood poisoning. DR.. Jones
has nc hopes of his recovery, and death is
almost certain to ensue within a brief
period.

v,o,a n wins the Mile and Repent
At the Bay District Race Track.
Last Saturday afternoon at the Bay
District course, San Francisco, among
other races was q running race, mile n
repeat, which attracted q great deal OF at
t~ention, and which resulted very disaster
ously to the pool buyers who undertook to
pick ou. the f~avorite, and named Haddins-
ton as their choice. The pool selling was
very heavy and just before the race the
horses sold 1T as follows: Haddington $50,
Viola r $50, and the field $28, which was
composed Of Laura aud Betshaw. There
was q very heavy fog prevailing and 1t was
impossible TO distinguish the horses more
than fifty yards from the judges stand.
Viola r won the first heat in las by half
. length from Laura; Hsddington three
lengths behind, and Belshaw distanced.
Hsddington was still the favorite, selling
at $40 to $50 for Viola r and Laura. Hol-
lsway. the imported Eastern jockey, was
on H~addingtoD, and as he had made q
waiting race IN the first heat his hackers
continued to put mp their money, relying
greatly on the skill Of the rider TO win the
race. The favorite got off we'll in advance
and won the heat in 1:46h; Viola Il Sec
ond, and Laura third.
There was nov q general stampede to
buy pools on Hsddington at any price.
the rate being about $50 to $I2. Every
body wanted to get in. Backers of Vioa
R sold off their pool tickets for what they
could get, one Of them calling for $126 was
Opposed OF for $40.
Viola r was acting badly and the seor-
ing was rather tiresome. She tried hard
to upset Patsy Duffy, but when the flag
fell she went into the fog like a rocket,
Duffy's neck twitching ss though 1t had
the collie. No one could see the horses
until the distance gate was reached,
when Viola's gray body first doomed up
and she came swiftly under the wire, a
winner by three lengths, in 1:46a. Had
dington second and Laura third.
The winner of this race, Viola r, il the
property Of Sheriff Sweeney and has been
making an excellent reputation In Cali
fornia this Summer, having won nearly
every race in which she has been entered.
Recently, at Stockton, in a two-mile and q
quarter race, she ran the first mile in
lA2%. A son Of Gen. r. H. Williams,
Who owns several racers himself, has had
charge Of Viola r during the past season.

san Francisco Money Rags.

Bishop Wingfeld told the General Epis-
copal Convention at Philadelphia that
very few Of the eighty millionaires Of San
Francisco are disposed to do anything for
the cause of religion. There are 40 of
American birth. IS Irish, s Jews. s Ger
mans. 4 English and ! French. Only one
is a member Of a Protestant church. Flood
occasionally gives q few thousand dollars
to the poor, and. OF those who have
died, only James Lick has left a
worthy monument. The Bishop quoted
from a San Francisco paper, which de-
scribed the living as generally misers,
~rascals, or fools, and the dead as having
few Of them gone to heaven, but as having
rather "gone to meet Dives where the
climate is oppressive and the water is
scarce."

A curious fact. but one well authgnIi-

that q male can suckIe babe as well as

tatiOn the milk in the mothers breast is
stored up in advance ready as q bank
account for the new arrival to check up
on at once. Not 50, however. The babe,
if placed at the breast of the father can
extract milk enough to raise it, and among
the fishermen on the coast of brittany,
France, il is a common custom for father
to take the child as soon as born, and,
giving it suckle, nourish and raise 1t until
weaned. IL some of the unfTequented

THE LOST COLoNISTs.

Prof. Nordenskjold. that daring and
indomitable navigator whose exploits
recall the audacious excursions of the old
sea-rovers from who he is descended,
will have the good wishes of the whole
civilized world in his new enterprise of
hunting up the lost colonists planted on
the continent of Greenland seven or eight
hundred years ago. THE students in
terest in the northmen has been deepened
by the well supported facts of their dis
coveries brought to light in the last half
century; it is certain they preceded the
great Columbus in bringing the New
world to light; with iceland for step
ping stone, they sailed down the coast OF
Labrador ard made settlements as far
south as Martha's Vineyard, and it is
even claimed that they went as far down
the Atlantic coast as North Carolina.
They certainly established a colony in
porous condition for many years; but
disturbances in Europe gave the north
men enough to do at home, and for long,
dismal period the Greenland colony was
neglected. When 1t was afterwards
looked for it could not be found; every
vestage of it had disappeared
How and why? If it had persisted Of
cold and hunger. traces of it ought to be
left behind to tell the wonderful story.
Perhaps with the hardy and daring spirit
Of adventure of their race, the colonists
penetrated into the interior and found
there a warmer aud more attractive re
gion, and their descendants are there
intermiA el with the miserable natives, but
preserving traditions of their origin.
This is Nordenskjold theory, and he
goes to test 1t by making a careful and
thorough examination OF the Greenland
coast, and sending over the ice barrier an
expedition to explore the interior. 1t is a
pious enterprise, and though there is little
ground for hoping that a single descend,
ant of the colonists survives. some relic
or tradition NAV be found TO show how
they persisted.

an invitation to drink with an entire
