1t is not always, perhaps not often,
that an important discovery particularly
benefits the d%iscoverer. The opening of
the diamond fields Of South Africa, from
which 81, 600, 600, 900 worth of diamonds
was taken, was due to the p~ertinacity of
a man named O'Reilly, who was a trader
among the natives and first conceived the
idea that the country was rich in dia-
monds and gold. o'Reilly himself did
not go to the diggings and did not profit
by them. On the contrary, the rush to
the diamond fields ruined his trade with
the natives, and a South African CORE
spondent says that he is now working
Tor his living.

LET LIVING wonrH BE Juno.

IT'S well 10 say the kiDdest word
OF those whove gone from earth,
And eulogies are ofton heard
That emphasize their worth;
But better far. IL seems 10 M,
Wen find IL now and then,
To let our living heroes see
They're loved by fellowmen.
Wait not until the heart Is still,
That has been proved most true
But make il feel by deepest thrill
How dear it is 10 you.
To fiattery base should none descend,
Nor need we yet be dumb,
But give good men, before their end,
A taste of joys 10 come.
Then let ms speak with hearty praise
OF noble work well done,
And crown the victor with the bays
He yaliantly has won.
Twill cheer him on TO higher aim,
To find his merits known,
And help achieve still greater fame
Than he could gain alone.
And others on the sea of life
May they be old or young
fartakers in the eager strife,
Whose deeds are yet unsung.
Perceiving that men recognize
Rewards to merit due,
And, deeming honest praise a prize,
VIII seek TO win it, too.

that n of the strangest sights he hao

England seems to have an immense
overplus of capital which cannot find in
vestment at home. Americans have been
made tolerably familiar of late with the
fact that English syndicates are investing
in American breweries and other profita,
BILE institutions. Another source, how.
ever, has been found for investment
in Germany and Austria, and the local
papers note the fact that the English syn.
dicates are obtaining possession of
breweries, printing offices, water works,
etc, to the exclusion of the natives.
This movement is "viewed with alarm
to a much greater extent in the countries
referred to han it is here.

THE TAXPAYERS,
They are Opposed to the Dismember.
ment Of AltnraS County.

Ii any one ever doubted that the
bulk Of the people of Alturas county
We're opposed to its dismem berment,
that doubt can no longer exist.
During the session of the Legislature
petitions signed by every man to
whom they vote presented, and all
Ut which protested against the pro.
posed, or any division, were sent to
Boise from every part Of the county.
And even in those three Or four pre-
clncts where division Mas desired
by some, the bulk Ct the peo-
ple--we have every reasonable assur,
3nce---were opposed to it.
The reason for this is plain. While
a few persons who own lots in tho
towns AIMED as, or which NAV be.
come county seats, and thei. imme-
t'iate friends, wish Alturas county to
tie SO divided that they may be en-.
ab'ed to sell their now comparatively
worthle lots; the bulk of the tax
payers, who neither expect to hold
office nor to have any town lots 70
sell, object to the formation of anyne
counties, because they kn,w that i,
would only mean additional officials.
additional expenses and additional
takes.
But this is no time to discuss the
merits OF the division question. The
county is either divided, or it is not.
Whistler 1t is al net the SURE m.
Court will doubtless decide: and il
will he the duty OF al. good citizens
to abide by it's decision.
