The recent Catholic encyclical, say the
dispatches, is exciting much attention
among the Catholics at the East, in regard
to so much of it as enjoins disciples OF, that
faith to devote their attention to lN,bIic
affairs, and take part as Cathoiics-as dis
tinguished from their characters as citi
zens, we assGme-in all municipal affairs
and elections, so as to make themselves
felt as political factor, one to be feared
and respected. The subject may well
command attention. If the Catholic
Church as such proposes to enter the po-
litical field and be felt as power having
its direction from foreign head, id will
develop a party bitterly antagonisic to
it. 1t will array against it forces III our
system that will put to the front an Issue
50 important and absorbing as to pver-
shadow all others. Whenever that Oh anv
other church enters the arena and PROPOSES
to this people that the insignia of a selis-
ion shall be the means to political or
governmental end, then viii be precipi-
tated conflict between the powers of the
church and the friends of free government
untouched by churchly influences, that will
shake the nation to its center. We have
no fears of the result in case such an issue
is joined. The church that assumes such
an attitude will go to the wall, and the
system of free government, discovered from
churchly motors, will be maintained in its
purity. Until the text matter referred to
is received, it is not possible to pronounce
judgment upon it with positiveness; and it
Is possible that the dispatches are inaccu-
rate as to what the letter contains. We
are unwilling to believe that such a letter
has been issued as the dispatches indicate
no letter that will bear the Interpretation
justified by the meager telegraphic item
referred to.

WALKER LAKE REsERvATIoN.-The Inyo
Independent of November 18th furnishes the
subioined
The mining discoveries near Hawthorne
are certain to bring about some change in
the Indian reservation at Walker Lake.
Large tracts of mountain containing min
erals, and wood and water, are included in
the reservation. These are utterly useless
to the Indians, or at any rate not the least
use is made of these resources by the In
dams. Along Walker river, and included
in the reservation, is rich, fertile land,
enough to support several times the num-
Der of Indians located there. Very little
of this fine land is improved. The Indians
wander up and down the railroad lie
around the towns and stations, beg or steal,
but will not work. 1t is no kindness to
these people to prevent the development of
great mineral resources on ground utterly
worthless to them. A change should be
made in the Walker Lake reservation.

Ing IN the Florence a. L. ENTERPRISE
The School Board of District No. !. north
of the river, is having adobes made for
their new schoolhouse, and Wednesday,
while the 'workmen were digging into the
bank of the gulch just west Of A. W.
Sharpe's house, for the dirt with which to
make the adobes, they struck large stone
vault. At first they were greatly excited,
imagining that they had struck vault of
hidden treasure, but it proved to be tomb,
and contained the skeleton of giant. The
skeleton shows that the man must have
been at least eight feet tall. The thigh
bones are about two feet long, and as large
again, almost, as those of an ordinary man.
How long this monster specimen of the
genus homo has lain in this hidden vault
it is impossible to guess, but the condition
of the bones would indicate that many
decades had elapsed since the remains were
deposited there. Although the vault is free
from moisture the bones have decayed to a
considerable extent. Mr.. Sharpe has placed
them in a box, where they can be exam
ined by the curious.

Vicious CHICKEN HAWK. - The Red
Bluff Sentinel prints the annexed;
A few days since John Krouse made a
present of young canary to Laura Bof-
finger, youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
W. F. Botfinger, and at the same time
gave another young canary, each in sep
arate cage, to take care of for him until
next spring. The cages were hung on
nails on either side of the kitchen door of
Mr.. Boffingers residence Wednesday morn
ing, and short time therefor Mrs. Bof-
finger heard shrill notes of distress from
the birds. She ran out and found a
chicken-hawk on one of the cages, his
claws fast in the feathers of the bird, which
was tapping its wings in vain efforts to
free itself from its enemy. Mrs Bofinger
GRABBED the hawk by one wing and pulled
it loose from the cage. The vicious little
creature caught hold of Mrs. Boffinger's
bare arm with its beak, which hurt her so
badly that she let the bird 60 Instead of
flying away after she let it loose, it darted
at the bird in the other cage, and failing in
that attempt to get a dainty breakfast,
sailed away and lighted on tree near by.

BEEF SHIPPING-The Albuquerque q.
NJ Journal says:
There is movement on foot in this city
to organize refrigerator company for the
slaughter of cattle in New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, and the shipment of the dressed
meats to the Eastern markets. Just where
the establishment will be located has not
yet been determined. A gentleman in this
city who is interested in the movement said
yesterday to a Journal reporter that the
rates for the shipment of live cattle to the
East from New Mexico and Arizona were
so high that between one-third and one
half the profits were absorbed in the cost
of transportation. This evil would be cor
rected by the establishment of refrigerator
works and the shipment OF dressed beef.

INDIAN WooING. = The Austin New

hctcutt Tic
A Piute buck paid his attentions to a
dusky maiden of his tribe and wanted to
marry her; She refused his attentions,
and would have none of him. What WOO
ing failed to do he determined 10 accom-
plish by strategy, and yesterday, while the
industrious mother was working in an Aus
tin kitchen, he stole the pappoose and fed
she knows not where. The theft was not
discovered for some time, but when her loss
was found out her grief was heartrending
and pitiful to behold Dark though her
skin may be, her motherly heart yearned
for her babe just as civilized" white
would have. Efforts are being made by
kindly whites to recover her lost treasure,
and as the general impression is that the
babe was taken only as counting measure,
it is likely that it will soon be recovered. 1t
is novel way of wooing, to say the least,
but Piute ways are not our ways.

BURMAH.

England and Burmah are to 90 to war.
1t will be brief contest, and can have
but one ending-the English will prevail.
Of course. Superior skill and arms will
overcome resistance on the part of King
Theebaw. The demand of England is one
that the ruler of Burmah can only inter
pref as mandate for him to concede
British supremacy in his realm 1t was a
demand, too, that Theebaw should not
form any close alliance with the Re
public of France. 1t is not reasonable
that England feared any invasion of Brit
ish India from Burmah. She uses that
charge as an excuse for making the de-
mand she has put to the King-to-wit,
that the representative of England shall
be recognized as the equal of the semi
civilized ruler. The protest is no more
made that England does not desire to an
mex Burmah. That is her aim. and the
Government makes but thin concealment
Of 1t. For whatever wrong Theebaw has
done England by any possible secret ar
rangement with France for special privi-
leges, and any lack of acknowledgment of
the position of the Queens representative,
England can enforce PREPARATION without
engaging in conquest of the country
That she contemplates the latter appears
certain, and that she will accomplish it is
within the early probabilities. There is
scarcely any likelihood that France will
Interfere in the matter She is not so stu
ated now that she can safely do it with due
regard to maintenance of tranquility at
home.

TAKEN Hoin the Auslln NeV.) heCeNte:
Out in Monitor valley there is natural
curiosity which it would well repay to go
far to see. There is a little mound in the
middle of large plain which is perfect
sugar-loaf about sixty feet across, and
which is evidently formed by the accumu-
lations of sediment thrown up by the
ceaseless bubbling hot caldron in its CEN
ter. 1t is really huge bowl, and the ad-
venturous one who crawls to the brink will
be able to look down distance of fifty feet
and see the seething, steaming waters.
They are so clear that stone dropped in
can be seen a long distance. The warm
springs at distance from there are evil
IDENTIFY from this caldron, as there is no
visible outlet. A party there last week
saw a snake lying on the brink, where it
had evidently been attracted by the heat.
They kicked it in and watched it. A few
wriggles only were made and it was
cooked reptile. An Indian was once
pushed in by a revengeful squaw. The
Devils Punch Bowl is a natural curiosity.
and all who go that way should make
point to see it.

SPIDERS IN FoREsTRY-Spiders have been
found by DR.. C. Keller, of Zurich, to be
voracious destroyers of piant-preying in
sects, and he contends that they play
more effective part in the preservation of
forests than all the insect-eating birds to-
gether. The value of the service rendered
by spiders has been shown by observations
on eoniferous trees, a few broad-leaved
trees, and apple trees.

WE do not believe the story that Van
derbilt has bribed the Aldermanic Board of
New York in the matter Of his street rail
way franchises. The Aldermen-or suffi-
cient number of them-are not above the
suspicion, but Vanderbilt is altogether too
sharp a man, one too well versed in the
ways of New York officials, to take any
step that would possibly fix upon him any
stigma of crime. If. there has been any
undetermined work in letting out the road
ways of the avenues to the railway COM
panies, it may be taken for granted that
Vanderbilt is the last man in the country
to be caught in net of bribery. His eau
ton is proverbial, and it has not been
charged until now, with all that has been
said of him, that he has ever engaged in
such methods as those now suggested by
the World, to accomplish his ends.

GEORGE NENABLE SMITH, a lawyer at
Seattle, has been indicted for conspiracy,
in connection with the recent effort of the
people of that place to rid themselves of
the Chinese that have swarmed into their
town since the completion Of the northern
railroad lines, and the opening of the
Chinese immigrant-smuggling system
from British Columbia into United States
territory. Smiths ofiense is understood to
have consisted in making speeches at one
or more of the meetings of citizens of
Seattle, called to consider the question of
warning the Chinese to leave the place.
His case will bring to the front very
prominently the whole question of the
limitations of free speech. If the Federal
authorities are so determined to enforce
the laws may not their action in Smiths
case suggest the inquiry why they have
been so inactive all these years in the
cases of the sand-lotters of San Francisco d?
1t cannot be possible that Smith was at
any time so incendiary or inhammatory in
any speeches he made, as Dr. O'Donnell is
each week in San Francisco. How is it
that fish is made of one and fowl of an
other?

holly virtuous indignation, the miserable

peddled all over this State despite the law
and the adyartisemer IS of which gain place
in newspaper columns in defiance of statu-

Canon Farrar writes approving the sug-
gestion of an American Westminster Abb
hey. He believes it would be "a priceless
national possession" Not so. Anywhere
in the free soil of America may her honored
dead be buried; wherever the sovereign
American rules, the monuments to our
heroes and statesmen may properly be
reared. The whole broad expanse of the
Union is the Westminster Abbey of Ameri-
can history, and stored with a wealth of
historic recollections and everlasting monu-
ments to the cause of human freedom and
the right of self-government. No; we
want no cramped and costly treasure house
in which to store the dust of our heroes and
sages. Let their monuments and their
grayes--here and there and throughout the
land-be the shrines of the patriotic people
of the Union.
