by hatchet. Judging from all the
appearances, it must have been quar-
ter of a century or more ago when the
men were killed.
although my wounded hand panied
me great deal and was almost useless,
determined to find where those miners
got their gold, if possible, and the next
day took my pan and pick and tried
the creek. At bend in the creek close
by was gravel bar, and when / tackled
that washed out seventy-five cents to
the pan. Do you know what seventy
five cents a pan means to miner? It
means just about one hundred dollars
day, and that's good enough for me
nowadays.
81 was in no condition to work the
claim, and, besides, my grub was nearly
gone; so had to mosey out of that, and
in a few days I got around the noun
tains and down to Scottsburg. From
there | went up the Umpqua river and
back to Drain, and then came down to
Yreka to have my hand fixed up. 1t
wasn't very good job, as you see, and
l suppose I've got to have something
done down here to straighten out the
bones.
Next spring am going into the
Umpqua Mountains again with a man
from Siskiyou, who has agreed to fur
nish horses and grub enough to make
an all-summer trip, and we viii pick
out pretty good wad of dust from the
Skeleton Cave District. "

Monkeys as Coin Testers.

The Siamese ape is stated to be in
great request among the Siamese mer-
chants as cashier in their counting
houses. Vast quantities Of base coin
obtain circulation in Siam. and the
faculty of discrimination between good
and bad would appear to be possessed
by these gifted monkeys in such an ex-
traordinary degree of development that
no human being, however carefully
trained, can compete with them. The
cashier ape meditatively puts into his
mouth each coin presented to him in
business payments, and tests it with
grave deliberation. His method Of
testing is regarded in commercial cir
cles as infallible; and. as matter Of
fact, his decision is uniformly accepted
by all parties interested in the transac-
tion. London Tid-Bits-

tiger is not easily distinguished. 1t
should be enough, however, for the wise
to know that it is tigers cub, and it Is
both the business and the nature of cub
to become tiger; and so of customs, which,
if carried too far, would be dangerous in
novations upon democratic form of gov
erLment. If they would become vicious
by repetition, they are vicious in their il
cipiency If neither Mr.. Grant nor Mr..
Lincoln would have been thought of for
the high positions to which they have been
appointed except for the fame of their
fathers, their appointment is reproach to
republican institutions. When questions
Of heredity guide the President in the
appointment of Ministers to aristocratic
governments, the concession to the senti-
ment of aristocracy becomes Enthusiastically
pronounced. We prefer the time-honored
practices and maxims of the fathers to the
fabby degeneration of republicanism which
these modern instances show forth. We
prefer the great doctrine that each man
should be his own ancestor; that distinc-
ton should be the reward of merit /;
that each man shall be Judged
by the record of his own life, and
the high advantage of this doctrine is that
it holds out the highest rewards to the
sons Of those whose lives may be blackened
by the mistakes of patriotism. 1t gives
the right of every man to be himself, to
stand or fall upon the record of his own
meritorious actions and the exemplary
character Of his own life "To be great
beause his fathers were" is very con-
temptible principle. Its logical sequence
is to be infamous because of the infamy of
a father, and this is repugnant to every
enlightened sense of justice. Our Gov
eminent is founded upon the great idea of
individual manhood, of perfect equality
before the law, and the possession of per-
sonal inalienable rights, and these great
doctrines forbid all recognition of heredity
whether in the direction of honor or es-
TEEN, and Republican liberty will accom-
pany them to extinction.

GOOD RUNNING,
The Fleet-Footed Runners at the Pavilion
Making Good Time.


Making Good Time.
The long-distance runners at the Old Pa
vilion, at Sixth and NJ streets, among
whom are some of the foremost pedestrians
of the world, began their last nights four
hours race al a quarter past I. The hot
pace of the preceding night had caused one
to drop out-Armstrong, of this city-and
Nichols, Of Stockton, had sprained his
ankle and had to abandon the track. The
others were all on the track at the call of
time, and went Off at a rafting rate.
Howarth, the great English runner,
maintained lead of two or three miles,
but was closely pressed during the evening
By Moore, Vint, Mcintyre and Taylor
Moore weighed 1S6 pounds when he
started on Tuesday evening, and went on
the track last evening at 179 pounds, hav-
ing run of seven pounds in the four hours.
He is to engage in the great six-day match
next month at the bay, and expects 10 re-
duce his avordupois this week by from
twenty to twenty-five pounds.
Peter Mcintyre, the pet of the Caledo-
mans, is doing remarkable running consid-
ering the fact that he had several hem
orrhages from the nose last evening. If
he gets no worse he will give good ac-
count of himself before the race is ended.
The chief strife lies between the two Sac
ramentans, Major Wells and Dave Will
Jams (colored). Most Of the evening they
were on even terms, and neither was dis
posed to allow the other 10 get any ad-
vantage. In the last hour or so, however,
the Major permitted his sable-skinned adj
versary to get few miles the better of him,
b 1t will no doubt show up in great shape
tonight, as he enjoys the reputation of be-
ing q slayer.
Little Bobby Vint wears the same suit he
wore in all of his former famous races, and
it is said he wouldn't part with it for the
world. as he has won a fortune in it.
a close finish is looked for between the
three or four leaders, while it is possible
that Ahern and Klatt may cause some of
them surprise.
The statement that the track is eight laps
to the mile was an error; ii takes lust
twelve laps to cover that distance.
The scores at the conclusion of last
nights run were: Howarth, 81 miles IL
laps; Mcintyre, 81 miles II laps; Moore, go
miles laps; Vint, 60 miles II laps; Taylor,
SIS miles IL laps Ahern, So miles laps;
Wells, AZ miles; Williams, IS miles laps;
kiatt, 81 miles 6 laps.
1t will be seen that the leaders are max
ing remarkable scores. Howarth has run
lacking one lap-sixty- three miles in
eight hours, within fraction of an average
of eight miles an hour.
Charles Cannon, the pugilist, is an
nounced to run ten miles tonight against
time. He Will be accompanied by Howarth
in his task. The races are undoubtedly
honest ones, and those who are interested
in sport of this kind should not fail to
visit the Pavilion during these four-hour
runs, which will continue for four nights
more.
