BY CHARLES HOWARD SHINN.


When Shasta County was settled,
the only part of the region that was
considered worth anything was the
placer district on the Coast Range
side of the valley, along the Sacra-
mento and some of it's tributaries.
The prospecters explored the hills and
the long slopes of the Sierra for miles
to the very base of Shasta's volcanic
cone. and they came back in despair
to the old camps of IgO and Ono,
Piety Hill, Churn Creek, Grizzly Gulch,
Shasta City, and half hundred more
whose names on the State maps of
forty years ago shine out bravely in
the midst of yellow speckles and the
fascinating legend: "Gold-fields here. "
Mining-camps Use an immense
amount of lumber for fiume-blOcks,
for wingdams and bridges, for new
houses after each fire, when a noun
tain town rises phRniX-like from it's
ashes. Men made homes in the piner-
les, miles above the placers, and a
great turnpike road soon stretched
across the country from east to west
for fifty miles. Its eastern beginning
we're in the ewood-roads ofthe pioneers
in the sugar-pine forests of Lassen's
mighty slopes, seven thousand feet
above the sea. 1t descended to the
eastern verge of the valley at Milville,
crossing many torrent and many a
deep ravine; it entered the rOliingr red
lands of scrub-OaH and "digger-pines"
where no one cared to live, and so
reached the Sacramento's broad
stream, where a rude ferry craft car
ried the laden lumber-wagOns across.
Thence, westward, the highway, unit

THE LAND OF UsED-TO-BE.

Beyond the purple, hazy tree
Ofsummer's utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies the land long lost to me
The land of Used-to-Be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirt rs clung
Along their dripping brinks, and sung
TO Jason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody;
Oh, such land, with such a sea,
Kissing it's shores eternally,
Is the fair Used.oBe.
A land where music ever girds
The air with bells of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet word
That even in the lowing herds
A meaning lives SO sweet to me,
Lost laughter rpplCs limpidly
From lips brimmed DER with all the gle
Of rare old Used-to-Be.
Oh. land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and ady spots,
Of coolest, greenest, 81 s5sy plots
Embossed with wild fof- et-me-nots,
And all the blooms at cunningly
Lift their sweet fac.Saip TO me
Out of the past; | VS. in thee
The lips of Use rO-Be.
] love We ALL and with wet eyes
Turned glimmerngly on the skies,
NY blessings like youI perfumes rise,
Till DER my soul a silence lies,
Sweeter than any song to me,
Sweeter than any melody
Or itssweet echo, yea, all three
Ny dreams of Lsed-to-Be.

A daughter of Joseph Maier, the
Christus of the Oberammergan Pas
sion play. writes in relation to a ru-
NOR which has gained omecurrency:
"A proposition has recently been
made offering large sum of money
to my father and two or three Others
if they would take part in the Pas
sion play at Chicago. My father inn
mediately refused, and the communi-
ty paid no oattention TO the proposal.
As YOU know, our sacred play is Civ
EN- i'm fulfillment of n vow and cannot
be trihed with. l therefore implore
YOU, in the name Of the community
of Oberammergan, to communicate
to the newspapers an emphatic denial
of the statement to which | have al

Y from the ofice-whether directed to his
name or another's, or whether he has sub

Garfield, Vt.


SrR,-In reply to your inquiry of
the 4th will say there is n picture
i'm a round window in the front of
the Catholic church. Thousands
have been here to see it. There have
been a great many here to be cured
of ailments of all kinds, and there
have been a number of cures. As to
this being permanent | cannot say
vet there are seventeen canes and
crutches left at the church. One
young man came here about five
weeks ago who has used crutches for
two years; he threw his crutches
down and has not used them since.
The Bishop has taken the window
out to have it examined. Don't
know when it will be brought
back. The church will be shut up
for two weeks after Monday next.
Respectfully yours,
$. BoYD. Z. o. Clerk.

A Horrible and Fatal Railroad Acciueh'
on the w. Va. & p Near Weston Occurs
just as Willie Lively Dreamed 1t Would
the Night Before.
SpeeiaE Telegram to the Rs0sstsr.
WESTON, W. VA, December IL
What is perhaps the most serious wreck
that has occurred in the history OF the
West Virginia and Pittsburg Railroad
took place about two miles south OF
Weston at 5 o'clock yesterday evening
A freight engine and three cars were
derailed at Bendale while en- route TO
Sutton. The engineer, man named
Robinson, was killed outright; ms
body was horribly mangled ana
presented most CHASTITY signV'
His stomach was mashed lhVo
perfect jelly, revealing tne
kidneys and entralls, "hile
the back was stripped oil the spinai
column which lay to one side covered
with dirt, The fireman escaped with
4 broken leg aud few lesser inJ urieS
and the conductor was not hurt at all
The cause of the accident was the
breaking of flange of the pony truck
of the engine, while going around a
short curve which threw the engine OH
the track, and it is supposed that the
iarring of the locomotive threw the en-
cineer off about the time the engine
tumbed over. When found he was un-
der the boiler, and it required couple
OF hours work to get him out.
1t is matter worthy Of note that the
accident in every detail except the DIS
tanes was foretold in dream by Mas
ter Willie E. Lively, who is a meessen-
ger boy at the railroad Office. He reia-
ted the dream yesterday morning TO
some Of his associates, giving the par
ticulars even to the number OF the en-
CINE and the train crew, and the addl-
tional statement that the conductor
would jump off the end of the trsln'
which he did. His story is strongly
corroborated. The engineer was married
at Parkersburg about six months ago.
His wife is here, and left on special
train with his body for her home III
Parkersburg this morning.

george GOuiu uds al W. had q fondness
for running horses, and at Saratoga, IA fc|2
years ago, ne told me that 1t was only his
fathers opposition which prevented his be-
coming the owner of big stable. His con-
vetsation showed me that he had given the
matter much attention, and his knowledge
of the different strains Of blood and the
performances of the leading horses Of the
turf was great surprise to me-" A friend
of young Gould's said that three years ago
his father had to positively prohibit him
from going on the turf Jay Gould cared
nothing at all for horses, and feared that
George would neglect his enormous busi-
ness interests IN what he regarded as
pernicious folly.

London Money Market.

LONDON, December ia gradual weak
euing of discount rates was apparent last
week. The final quotations were, three
months @; short 1. At these figures bills
were readily taken. The continental COM
petition which lately helped TO increase
rates has almost ceased, as the attention OF
the competitors had been directed TO their
own markets where rates in majority or
cases have risen above London quotations.
Silver became trife steadier after re-
lapse in the middle of the week. There is
now apparent a general conviction that the
Brussels conference will close without ar
irving at any practical arrangement
American railway securities after advanc-
ing until the middle Of the week, relaxed
the silver collapse, but on balance move
ments were light.

Discussion As To the Ratio Between

Accept no Ratio Unless Enough
Governments Join to Make It
Effective.

BRUSSELS, December 11.-At the
meeting Of the Monetary Conference
yesterday Herr Hans /. Forsell, sweden
and Norway delegation, referring 70
Congressman McCreary's declared prep
erence for a fixed ratio between gold
and silver Of 16 to l. asked the Amerl-
cans IL they would agree TO ratio OF
90 TO 1, which would be a nearer ap-
proach to the present silver value.
Senator Allison replied that the
Americans would prefer ratio OF 10 10
l, but II agreeable to the European
states the Americans might accept
different ratio. For himself he thought
that Silver-using States would most
logically adopt the ratio OF 151 to l.
America would accept no ratio unless a
sufficient number OF governments en-
tered into the agreement to make 1t ef-
fective. The United States delegate,
Henry w. Cannon, replying to nj.
Tlrard, Of the FTench delegation. said
he was surprised Ut the attitude OF the
Latin Union delegates, as 1t was
supposed in America that the
States OF the Latip Union, being
the largest silver holders. would
be very friendly to itsNuse as money,
But 1t appeared that theN were not In
clined to join America In an agreement
for its extented use, while Great Britain
without an important quantity OF silver
suggested IT'S purchase for use as mone'
Despite this apparent paradoxlcal stae
OF things, the Americans still hope
that something would be accomplishe

The relerrnphers, strike.

TOPEKA. KAs., December 1.-THE strike
of the Rock Island telegraph operators so
far as it concerns the Chicago, Kansas %
Nebraska Railway or the Rock Island in
Kansas is not very effective. AT the
larger stations the railway people state
that either the old men have gone back or
that new men have been engaged 10 uaKe
tbe strilyer,s places. At many small sta
tions in Kansas, however, the road has
been unable to I'LL the vacancies caused by
the strike. This is due principally 10 the
facts that the salaries are small,
thar the towns are TOO small
for ambitious men and that the prejudice
AGAINST those who take strikers places IS
very great. The effect Of the strike upon
the cuisines of the road does not seem 10
be very great. The effect upon the tele-
graph business is more apparent. Ine
Western Union receives messages 10 many
points on the Rock Island, suOlecJ 10 IN
Fefnite delay. and it is impossible to get
commercial or news dispatches from those
points.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 1O.-Sena-
tor VOORHEES,, of Indiana, laughs at the
statement of Hale and other Republican
Senators to the effect that the Democrats
will secure control of the Senate.
1.-The idea that the Republican will give
in an inch" said the Senator, us as RI
diculous as the story that the Democrats
are afraid to meet the issue and organize
the Senate Both Of them are too absurd
to receive moments thought.'
Mr.. voorhees, says that instead OF fear
ing to assume the responsibility the Demo-
Gratis will take every precaution to secure
the grip they now have in the body. The
statement that the Democratic party is
afraid to undertake the revision OF the
tariff Mr.. voorhees, pronounces an insult
to the intelligence Of the men who compose
that party.
Republicans have been working in secret
ever sirce a few DAYS after tho election TO
steal several Western Legislatures, but
Jne vigorous policy of the Dem9qrrrasts rs,, hoe 90

The Army Appropriation Bin.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December IL
Chairman Outhwaite, Of the House Mill
tary Committee, has prepared report for
submission to the House with the Army
Appropriation bill, agreed upon oy the
committee. The report states succinctly
out clearly recently the changes by the
COMMITTEES in a number Of paragraphs as
compared by the bill for the current year.
Substantially the only Increased appro-
priatfons carried in the bill are in the
Bureau of Ordnance, and the reasons
therefore are stated quite fully by quota
lions from the testimony Of Gen. Flager
before the committee. 1t was shown that
the army has been for years drawing on
supplies left over after the war and these
supplies had now become exhausted, and
that increased appropriations must De
made, therefore, if tue army is to be kept
,n a s;tAUe OF eiSGiency.
