Enrncd to Death.

GRASS VALLEY, August 5.-Yes-
terday at noon, Ellen, the wife OF
Michael Roach, oil the Allison
ranch, while preparing dinner, had
her clothing catch fire and she was
burned SO that she died last night.
The deceased was aged nearly sixty
years.
Neighbors first discovered the ac-
cident, although a stepson was in
the house at the time.

So distinguished a man as Prof.
Barnard, of Columbia College, has
deemed the matter of cigarette
smoking by children to be worthy
his profound attention. He de-
clares that the habit is undermining
the health of the rising generation
to fer greater extent than the
general public realize. One of
the evils is the craving it creates
for opiates, for nearly all cigarettes
are drugged. The Professor de-
clares that SO moustreus is the
evil as disclosed by his investiga-
ton, that the law-making power
must grapple with it, or prepare
for hospital system for the wrecks
of the habit, that will he OF vast
proportions and enormous and
evcr-increasing cost. 1t suggests
itself to us that the idea of parents
giving duty attention to their sons
will go a long way towards correct
ing the vice. 1t is ali very we'll to
clamor for the intervention of the
10 w for the eytirpot1ou nf thooa
tits; but that should be the ultimate
appeal, the last resort, and de-
manded only after We have failed
under honest endeavor to accom-
plish the desired end by parental
rule.

ALAsKA.-The United States
Fish Commissioners steamer
Albatross. having On board the
Senatorial committee, composed OF
Senator Henry l.. Dawes of Massa-
chusetts, (Chairman); Senator
James X. Jones of Arkansas, Sen
atsr Francis B. Stockbndge OF
Michigan and Senator Charles f.
Henderson OF Nebraska, arrived
at Sitka, Alaska, July 14th. A
great deal ef interesting information
has been secured by the committee,
and many important points brought
to their attention. In an interview
at the Alaskan office Senator Man
derson admitted that the interests
OF the people of Alaska had been
long neglected and that Congress
was primarily responsible. But
the truth was that the time OF the
House OF Representatives was so
taken up with the consideration OF
private bills that it was impossible
for that body to devote the atten-
ton which it should to matters of
public Importance and interest.
The time would arrive, and that
before long, when there would be
a continuous session of Congress in
order to pass all the necessary
legislation. The Senator was of
the opinion that the land laws as
at present formulated are not
suitable for Alaska. He was IN
favor OF such a modification as
would render them adapted to tie
needs OF the Territory, at least to
the extent OF giving actual settlers
titles to their homes and town
property.

Antiquity OF NEVADA.

While rock inscriptions occur il
several parts OF the State, on Tho
Carson, Humboldt and Truckee
rivers; at Death Valley and on the
side OF several mountain passes,
there are no evidences such as
rlined cities, mounds, burial
places etc., that would lead 10 the
belief that Nevada was at one
time largely populated by pre-
historic people, but the evidences
are indisputable that ages before
Columbus discovered America, and
contemporaneous with the elephant
and mastodon, an unknown race
of people inhabited Nevada. They
crossed mountain passes, followed
the rivers and Sierras when Eagle
Valley was yet lake. The photo
graphs taken OF the rock inscrip-
tons near Fort Churchill, on the
Carson river, were examined by
the savants of the Smithsonian
Institute and some of the most
learned psychologists of Europe,
and were pronounced the most
interesting and oldest known.
Seine contended that they belonged
to a people that were SO populous
at one time on the CHA, Salt and
other rivers of Arizona. While
there is a resemblance to the in
scriptions left by those people
those in Nevada are more crude.
Others contend that they belong to
the Toltecs or Aztecs and were
made by raiding parties or pros
pectors sent out to discover new
countries and take captives for
sacrifice and Used as guide stones.
Two stone mortars found near
Lovelocks, now st the University
at Berkely, are the largest and
best specimens that have been
found in any country belonging to
the early stone age. The foot
prints at the Carson prison, under
40 feet of sandstone and drift,
show that man existed bAfore the
drift or glacial period and also |
existed at or before the volcanic
period, as some OF the Inscriptions
in Death Valley are partially !
with lava. The age in
which they lived is a matter OF
speculation, as some OF the changes
may have been made by local
causes from whence they came, or
the mode OF their extinction leav-
ing no trace, is matter OF con-
jecture.-Reno Journal.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The Princess Liliwinkins and Other Sto-
ries. BY Henrietta Christian Wright
These pretty stories, eight in number, are
written by the author Of the well known
Children's Stories in American History.
We miss in all modern fairy tales something
of the fascination and delusion that were
the peculiar charm of the old time stories,
but the volume before us contains bright,
wholesome, well written stories which will
delight the children and enchain their atten-
tion for many happy hours, Particularly
pleasing are the adventures of Will-o'-the-
Wisp and Prince Toto, and King Cur
mudgeon and Queen Termagant. The illus
trations are fairly good (New York:
Harper & Brothers; Portland: Loring, Short
q Harmony.
Two Coronets. BY Mary Agnes Tinckner.
Boston: Houghton, Miffiin & Co.; Portland;
Loring, Short & HARMONY Signor Monal-
dlnrs Niece, the most artistic work of Miss
Tinckner, and which made its appearance in
the No Name Series, will be well remem-
bered by all readers of fiction. In Two
Coronets the scene Is also laid in Italy for
the most part, though the story vibrates be-
tween that country and New England, thus
presenting as great contrasts as can well
be conceived The Italian part OF the story
is delightful, and of absorbing interest. But
the American characters are somewhat over
drawn and are little tiresome. The novel
is one of the better class, and is being highly
commended by the critics.
The Heritage OF Dedlow Marsh and Other
Tales. By Bret Harte. Boston Houghton,
Miffiin & Co.; Portland Loring, Short &
Harmony Besides the story that gives the
title to the book, which is very good one
indeed, although the ending is unsatisfactory,
there are three other stories included within
its covers. Of these A Secret of Telegraph
Hill is the best. In A Knight Errant of the
Foothills our old acquaintance, Jack Hamlin,
reappears; and in the fourth story, Cap
tain Jim's Friend, hardly more than char
acter sketch, we meet another familiar face,
that of Yuba Bill, the old stagedriyer.
These stories are superior to much of the
authors later work, and If we fail to find
in them quite the charm that enveloped the
Luck of Roaring Camp, Left Out on Lone
Star Mountain, and other stories of the Ar
gonauts of 40, we are still interested and
entertained.

The Massachusetts, Democratic convention
was cut and dried affair. and for the most
part there was plain sailing. There was,
however, one disturbing element in the
shape of Representative Mellen Of Worces-
ter. well known in the Bay State as labor
reformer. Mr.. Mellen got the platform and
put in an earnest protest against the nomin-
alton of Russell ON the ground that the latter
was unpopular with the laboring men. Mel
len contrasted Rassell's labor record with
Brackets and very unfayorably to the for
mer. Attempts were made to howl Mellen
down, but they only had the effect of making
him more determined to have his say. This
he succeeded in having, despite the stamp
ings and cat calls. With the labor men dis
gusted and the Cunniif Democrats of Boston
also soreheaded over the rejection Of the
Cunniff delegates, it looks as IL young Mr..
Russell had very mp hill job before him to
command even the Democratic vote.

1t appears certain now that the Republ-
cans have elected all the representatives in
the new States, five in number. The Re-
publicans had before these elections 163 men,
bers of the House. They will increase their
number to 1853. The total number of men,
bers of the House will be $50. of which
quorum, or majority, will be 1885, The full
Republican strength then will be two more
than quorum. And in order to transact
business against the combined opposition Of
the Democrats they must have at least 166 OF
their own number present. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the Republicans will have to
pay pretty strict attention to business.
