NEWSPAPER LEDGEU.

The Foot Hill Tidings has the
following sound sense about news
paper lodges
The newspapers. taken al along
the line, seem to be regarded by
many people as = bonanza ledge,
like unto the great Cumstock lode.
These many people are working
this lode to uncover the lunches Of
ere, and are working by means of
libel suits. The suits are generally
begun for $4,000, that being the
fayorite figure aimed at. And $50,
900 is quite respectable sum. We
have never seen the day that we
would turn up our nose at such an
amount, paltry as it IS in these days
Of our opulencc. The Stockton
Mail and the Carson APPEAL have
each been sued by Colonel Andrews
for $4,000 because those papers
seemed to have made some remarks
calculated to ridicule him. The
San Francisco Chronicle has two
or three $4,000 libel suits. The
last one was begun against the
Chronicle last Tuesday by Fisher
Ames who was a Democratic candi-
date for City and County Attorney
in 1884. Ames says the Chronicle
reflected on his integrity in oppos-
ing his election. And yet this
newspaper lode generally turns out
to be barren of mineral after libel
suits have worked it in the most
thorough manner. There is much
mineral in the newspapers but i'm
proved methods Of getting it out
must be adopted.

IRRIGATION.

The Valley of the Sacramento
has been made a garden by wells
and windmills. They have been
entirely independendent Of the
streams, and the system has proven
a splendid success. Nevada has a
better show than California for
water. In most places in Califor-
MIA the water does not come nearer
than fifteen or twenty feet of the
surface, but in Nevada it comes al
most any where within five or six
feet, and in many places overfows.
All through Carson Valley artesian
water can be secured at small costs.
Farmers are beginning to realize
what blessing artesian water is,
and the money they spend each
year In litigation over water rights
would bore a dozen artesian wells.
There are parties in this city who
have sent East for machinery cap
able of boring 200 feet day, and
they will soon be ready to operate.

THE ASHES OF ONE OF
THE CAENERS.

A correspondent Of the London
Times writing from Rome, tells a
remarkable story of the fate of the
ashes of one of the Caesars. Re-
Gently the urn containing the ashes
Of Piso Licinianus, who had been
adopted by the Emperor Galba as
his son and successor, but was MUIR
dered by the supporters of Ohio,
has been discovered and thoroughly
identified. Also with Piso's urn
we're six others, all marked by cpl
taphs. When Signor Mariani,
the owner of the property
where the excavations were
made and the urps have been
discovered, heard of the matter and
he came to inquire about it. He
found the urns open and empty.

workman.
"Yes, ashes" repeated Signor

Rolling ofn Court on u chinaman.s Applicat
tion.to Adopt awhile child. II
CHICAGO, Feb. 98.7Judge Pendergast
Yesterday announced bis ruling on the ap.
plication Of Dong Tong. . Chinese portrait
painter, resident in this city, for the priv
ilege Of adopting Philip Brown, white
child, four months old, nowin the custody
Of the Foundling's Home.a The Judge
said that, as fur ashe could learn, this
was the ilrst instance Of the kind, and he
had therefore, no precedent 10 guide him!
He was satisfied, from the evidence pre-
sented, that Dong Tong and his wife were
reputable people. The question with the
Court was as to the welfare Of the child,
and not even the consent ofitsl mother
could put that question aside. The child
WIS born. under. one civilization, and could
n9t, owing To- It's infancy, assent or object
10 It's adoption into another civilization,
Ought not that fact act as barto the
adoptiop7 y .5a
The court said 1t must not alone con;
slider whether the child would be cared
for in the ordinary acceptation- that is,
clothed and fed-but whether he wonld
be given. a Christian education. That
this would or could be aoae did not ap.
pear ipeyidenee beforethe court. These
petitioners could not, under the law, be-
come citizens. There was nothing to pre-!
yentthen from returning 10 The land OF
their birth, and 1t this adoption were con!
aented 10 by the court no earthly. power
could prevent them, from taking the child
with them to China, where lie wouid grow
mp under another civilization. The Gus.
toms and religion OF China were right and
lproper enough for Ghildrensbo there |;
but 1t was not 10: be supposed that this

0SE Of the exhorters OH the Democratic

while the legislature Is nsession.f II We
could have had mass meeting Of farmers

The farmers want the exemptions to

stead Of that the Mason bill reaches ont
aud laysits taxing hand on the pigs, the
calves, the ducklings and the family Bible.

amendment promised them in the Demo-

looked in vain. 1.-THE session had been
