The obsequies Of Mr.. Hendricks were
BETTING one who occupied at his death
the second position in official rank in the
government. Itcannot be fairly said, how.
ever, that the public demonstration over
his remains and respect otherwise shown
the deceased we're because of any dis
tinguished service rendered the nation,
for If the nation had followed the bent OF
Mr.. Hendricks during the critical period
of the Southern Rebellion. this govern
ment would have been destroyed and
Mexican anarchy would have been es-
tablished upon its ruins. Mr.. Hendricks
occupied an exalted place and received the
honors due the position. He was also
personally popular among the people with
whom he mingled by his pleasing and con-
ciliating manners, and was admired by
his party tor his fidelity to the party ;
hence there was honest, sincere grief at
his death, but rather because of friendship
and political companionship than for pub.
lie service. Impartial history will not
sound the praise of Mr. Hendricks for
patriotism or craftsmanship.

Are utilities to the chronic invalid. What
to him are the rewards of ambition, the accu-
mutation of fortune, or the fruition of domes-
tic happiness? The zest of life is gone, its
aims are dead. Well for him if all this is
not irretrievable-if His malady is not of the
deep seated organic sort which forbids hope
of cure. For many of the ills to which flesh
is heir, formerly supposed to be incurable,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a sovereign
remedy. Among them are dyspepsia, chronic
cons tipation. rheumatism, debility and ner
vousness. These are remediable with the
grand restorative. which does the work
thoroughly, striking at the root of the evils
to the removal Of which it is adapted. By
insuring activity and purity of the circulation,
inducing healthy flow of the bile, and pro-
noting regular habit of body, it fortiies

The Rtrst

Theodore H. Mitchell. in the Overland,
has an interesting article on the original
discovery Of gold in California. After
disposing Of earlier theories and reports.
he says: "a ranchero named Francisco
Lopez, who was living on Piru Greek,
went out on a search for stray cattle. At
noon, when he ~dismounted from his horse
for the purpose of resting, he observed q
few wild onions growing near where he
lay. He pulled them up. and, in doing SO,
noticed the same kind Of pebbles as those
Castillero had described. He took up q
handful Of earth, and, upon carefully ex
aiming II, discovered gold. The news Of
the discovery, the exact location of which
was o place called San Francisquito, about
thirty miles northeast from Los Angeles,
soon spread, and In Q few weeks q great
many persons were engaged in washing
and winnowing the sands and earth In
search OF gold. The auriferous fields were
found to extend from Q point on the Santa
Clara river, about fifteen or twenty miles
above its mouth, all over the country
drained by Its upper waters, and thence
easterly to Mount San Bernsrdino. From
that time TO this day there has been more
or less working OF these mines, but no
places Of very great richness have been
found, and none to compare with those
afterwsrd discovered IN the tributaries Of
the Sacramento and San joaquin. This
discovery OF Lopez was in 1841."
