IN fiourishing mining camp known as
Chipp's Flat, Sierra county, thirty years
ago, the location of the claims and the
mining laws adopted Hereunder We're such
that one continuous war of litigation was
the result. Two mining companions hay
ing conflicting claims, seeing the almost inn
possibility of settling their disputes by a
resort to the District Court, mutually
agreed to try their cause before Justice of
the Peace and jury twelve miners select
ed from those having river claims on the
Middle Yuba. A. s. Mcmillan, of Minue-
sofa, the banking and express agent of Lang
toms express and banking house at Downie-
vile, Ind been elected Justice Of the Peace for
the township, including Minnesota and
Chipp's Flat, in 1858. Soft wasagreed thathe
should preside, and the trial came off early
in the year 1854 at Chipp's Flat. In order
that sufficient room should be had for the
parties litigant aud their friends the billiard

living at Snow Point in Nevada county,
just little east Of Minnesota was chosen
as the most spacious building in town. II
trial commenced promptly at nine o'clock in
the morning and occupied the entire day
Both of the parties litigant had plenty of
money and each seemed to vie with the
other in libesality during the progress of
the trial. Lawyers hal been provided by
zach side to conduct the case, and il must
be presumed that they felt no interest in
putting a stop to the liberality of their re-
spective clients. At all events, frequent
recesses of the court were had during that
day, of Ave minutes each, when refresh
ments would be served, mostly of LIQUID
character. Justice Mcmillan was not very
erudite in the law; but if there was one
thing in which he exhibited great pride il
was to be addressed MS "Your Honor"
while presiding in case. Anything more
familiar than that always reused his ire.
The numerous adjournments which the
court took this day had more perceptible
effect on the presiding justice than on any
one else connected with the case, though
champagne and whiskey had been freely
imbibed all around Plenty of the SUBJ
stantials in the eating line Ind also been
provided, in order that the case might be
determined at one sitting. The testimony
was all in at five o'clock, and the counsel
hid concluded their arguments at little be-
fore nine. Realizing the fact that many
thousands Of dollars were involved in the
suit, Mcmillan thought il incumbent on
him for the first and last time in his life to

The discovery of the skeletons OF
twenty three men and a number OF
horses in the vicinity of Glendale, Oak,
has given rise to deal of conjecture,
some of it so wild, and all of it so di-
verse, that the identity of the remains
cannot yet be considered as satisfactor-
lily settled. An investigation has how
ever, been ordered by Gen. Terry,
which promises much and is very likely
to result in developing the facts in the
case. AS soon as the season will admit
Capt. G. E. Bennett, Seventeenth in
fantry, to whom the matter has been re-
ferred, will go to the place with a party
from Fort Sisseton, Oak, and make a
careful examination of the remains and
the surroundings, since it is more than
probable that those who have witnessed
the spot have overlooked some impor-
tantparticu1ars. In the meantime Capt.
Bennett is diligently prosecuting them
vestigation in other directions. Theap-
parent uncertainty in regard to an event
that occurred only twenty years ago
seems very strange, but it is only an
other pertinent illustration of the mag
nifcent poem, sThe Flood of Years
which eloquently portrays the ravages
of time in the burial of men and things
beyond the knowledge of succeeding
generations.

| The discordance among professional
musicians and even of church choirs,
has become proverbial, but it is evident
that the class ironically styled 'senlight-
ened educators" is frequently subject
to the same unpleasant conditions. In
stances might easily be recalled where
educators are not exemplars of good
manners, or even of common honesty, If
what they say of one another can be
credited. The latest exhibition of the
sort is now passing before the good peo-
pie of the capital city of Minnesota,
where the school board is in state ot
decentralization on account of alleged.
ciques, rings, and mutual ordinations,
involving trickery if not actual dishons

I The report of the court of inquiry in
regard to the failure of Garlingtons
expedition to the Arctic regions for the
relief Of Lieut., Greedy says that Gar
ington made an error of Judgment in
not waiting longer at Pandora harbor,
but the error was committed In exercise
of difficult and unusual discretion for
which he should not be held accounta-
bic. It is also due, Darlington to say
that in the general conduct of the ex-
petition prior to the loss of the ship he
displayed zeal, energy and efficiency in
successfully conducting the command
through the long, perHous and labori-
GUS retreat in boats to place Of safety.
As regards Gen. Hazen, the court is Of
the opinion that in many particulars,
and in some Of the gravest moments
he failed in adequate comprehension of
the necessities of the case and measures
and rations essential to meet them. The
court specifies numerous grave errors
andomissionsin his action and comments
severely on his manner Of conducting
official business, but concludes that
while the grave errors and omissions
mentioned either directly led or lareAly
contributed TO the failure 81 the expedi-
tion, yet. as they were due TO lack Ii
sound judgment and unattended BY any
wilfnl neglect, no further proceedings
before general court martial are called
for.

DOT was during the last half of the year

old tariff. This decrease indicates that
this branch of manufacture has not been
seriously impeded by the change of du-

eat more meals in hotel cars and rail-
road meal stations than they do at home
or in hotels. They spend more nights
in sleeping-car hunks than in beds. To
o person who travels only occasionally
1t is interesting to note how thoroughly
equipped these professional journey ers
are. Upon entering sleeping-car early
in the evening, for instance, they re-
move their shoes and put on slippers,
hang their hat up and don silk travel

short sock coats or smoking jackets.
In the morning, when the occasional
traveller, obliged to wear the only cloth

thus struggles in an effort to cleanse his

coat collar, these professionals again ex-
cite his envy. They come along all
smiles, having slept well, aud feeling
perfectly at home. They hang up their
smoking jackets and display snowy white
