THE EARLY SEARCH FOR DIa-
MONDR-

The DeI.amar Nugget gives the
following story, which il credits TO
Charles S. Peck, formerly OF that
place:
"This story, according to old
Peck's story, ran thusly: Governor
Lyon, on trip east, met on train
two miners who told him they had
been working a plscer claim about
fifteen miles southeast Of the Snake
river (new Walter's) ferry and bad
not found il very rich. One Of them
showed tho Governor some pretty
crystals he hal picked up. The Gov
ernor examined them and, thinking
they might be diamonds, obtained
three OF them. He kept track Of the
men, and when they arrived in New
York had the stones examined by an
expert, who pronounced them dia-
monds, and he afterward sold them
for $500. He then told the miners
what he had learned, aud arranged 10
meet them ID Boise the following
spring. Lyon came, as per appoint.
ment, and the two miners got rs far
~ San Francisco, took the steamer
Brother Jonathan for Portland on
the fatal trip, and were lost with all
on board. Lyon, being thus left in
the dark as to tho spot where the
stones were found, came to Silver
City and let few men into the Sc
oret OF his mission and the search was
begun. II became public in day OF
two, and one night 200 men picked
upon spot now called Diamond Ba.
sin, some three miles west Of Crocher
on's ranch on Sinkcr, and all The
ground in that basin was staked Of
in claims IN no time But the dia
monds failed to ,naterialize and Gov
ernor Lyon acquired a reputation
which has since been inherited b,
Tom Ochiltree and Joe Mulhattan.
Coming down to sound reason
ing, is there not ground for believing
that Lyon told the truth, and tina
those two miners really did find gem

Lyon be TO tho expense and troubl

TIE king is dead, long live the
king! The time-hotored game of
baseball, like the American buffalo,
and nearly everything else mundane,
has had its day, and now the national
game" with all its eXhilaration and
excitement, with its charleyhorses
and scores and lmpires and extras
and daisy cutters, and all its familiar
paraphernalia, is thing Of the past,
to be buried in the archives of the
long ago beyond the hope Of resur-
rectiOn. And football has come tC
take it's place and the chances are
that it will have even a longer lease
Of life than the sport which it sup
plants. The one thing in which foot
ball has the vast advantage over the
other game is the superior facility
with which it turns out gOre-cove'ed
victims and wrecks of humanity.
Like the gladiatorial combats of old,
its superiority lies in it's bloodthirsty
character and as long as it retains
its popularity the young men of the
country will have no craving to go tC
the wars. With rival elevens the
nations Of Europe may even be per-
suaded to disband their standing
armies and trust their destinies tc
the football field in preference to the
arbitrament of the sword, on the
principle that in the new game there
is a much better chance to satisfy the
prevalent taste for gore.

A STRIKING example of honesty in

A STRIKING example of honesty in
politics was shown in the Probate
Court of Philadelphia few days
ago. The late Samuel J. Randall
was for years one of the most trusted
leaders Of the Democratic party in
Congress. He was the only Democrat
in the State who was certain of re-
election to Congress, and, by the way,
after the death of Mr.. Kelly, was the
leader Of the protectionists in the
House, and yet his widow appeared
in court and made oath to the fact
that he left nothing In the way of
property to account for He lived
simply and died poor, fact that is
the browning glory Of one of the most
distinguished of republican states
