THE PRESENT silver dollar contains
37lI grains of pure silver, the intrinsic
value of which is 65.7l cents. This en-
enables the counterfeiter TO do not only
a safe, but most profitable business, as
with $3.50 worth of silver he can
make 1000 silver dollars, just as pure
as. and indistinguishable from, those
made at the mint How many such
dollars have already been made, or Will
be made hereafter, of course nobody
can know, as the officers ofthe mint can
not distinguish them from legal dollars.
This is another one OF the blessings OF
republican administration.

FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 9. 1852.
TuERE IS at least one wise man In the

THERE Is at least one wise man III the
South Carolina legislature, Col. John O.
Haskell. In that body yesterday, he
opposed the adoption of resolution ln-
structing the Senators and Representa-
tives from that State in regard TO their
congress lonal action. In his speech ne
denounced the practice of legislatures
ipstructmg members of Congress as VI
cious and declared that if the resoiu-
ton passed lit would have no effect
with self-respecting members OF Con
gress." Every word he said was true.
The Virginia legislature AT its last SEES
sion spent great deal Of lis time IN
nassinr similar resolutions, the only ell
feet of which was to bring ridiculc upon
the State, as, if her congressman have
common sense, it is only natural to sup
pose that they, on the spot, know bet
fer how to act on matters before Con-
gress. than the waybackers who compose
the majority of the Legislature at Rich
mond. two hundred miles away. And
besides. the members Of the l. ;. House
of Representatives are not subject to Or
ders from State legislatures. Senators
NAV be. because they are elected by the
legislatures; but Representatives are
not. as they are elected by the people OF
their respective districts, to whom alone
they are responsible for their actions

The Work of the Malta.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-Constable
Moulton last night while riding along
the levee near Convert, st. James parish,
came upon traces of q terrible struggle.
A little further on he found two dead
bodies and man badly wounded and
nearly dead. The man, whose name is
Stephano Areta, said that on Tuesday
night he and two friends met four men
in New Orleans who induced them to
90 to st. James parish under promise
of getting work. When they got to
the levee one of them asked Areta
what time it was. As ne pulled out
his watch he was shot in the back.
Another man then drew knife
and slashed Areta's friend who fled
and stumbled and fell, and the man
chasing him cut his trhoat from
ear to ear. While this was going on
another of the murderers crept near
and shot Areta's other friend through
the head. The assassins then ran
away. The horrible crime is supposed
to be the work of the Malta.

To TUNNEL THE EAST RIvER.-The
Office of Austin Corbin, president Of the
Long Island Railroad Company, in
Brooklyn, was besieged by reporters
Yesterday, in the expectation that ac-
ton would be taken by those concern
ed in the construction ola tunnel from
Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, to Jersey
City. To all requests for information,
Mr.. Corbin said: "We are taking steps
preliminary to organization, and in
few days will he able to make our pre-
else purposes public. The East river
will certainly be tunncled, and within
comparatively short space of time. |
have no reason for supposing that there
is any doubt so far as the river is con-
cerned. The money to build the tun-
mel is ready, and it will be built. [
regard the undertaking rs being, per-
haps, the most important of the many
rapid transit problems now under dis
cussion. Such tunnel would bring
the people of Brooklyn within ten min
utcs Of Jersey City and within six or
seven minutes of the City Hall, New
York. 1t would be fraction under
four miles, and would virtually obliter-
ate two great rivers rs dividing lines.
1t would join the Long Island and
Pennsylvania Railroad systems, and
would be source of almost incalcu-
liable benefit to both. | am now mere
ly INDUCING in anticipations. The rep
lesentatives of the various interests in
volved in the enterprise will meet in q
few days, and shall then have some
thing of a more substantial character to
communicate. So far, we have encoun-
tered no obstacles, and the history of
the enterprise has been one of progress
from the start

In TALKING about the unenforced'

Geary of California says The secre-

created special bureau and appointed

500 a month who are doing no work
at all. 1t IS easy enough, with such Il
system as this, to eat up all the money
in the treasury" But now that the

Foster has no more need of workers, .

deputies referred to. 1t really seems

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of TehGnza County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre in subdivisions Of
40, 80, 40, $50 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first Of i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the pTin-
cipal is 10 be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum.
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SIC per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be
had n California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject OF this advertisement wiz prove to
home-seSkers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up Of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

CANINE NOTES.

Trainer Walters Young Star-George
Crocker's Recent Dog Purchases.
D. NJ. Walters, the well-known dog
trainer of Gait, has Gordon puppy with
which he calculates to make some of the
best entries hustle to win in the field trial
Derby next January. 1t would be re-
freshing to have Gordon come in and
win honors in such hot company, re-
marks the Breeder and Sportsman.
The particular dog was reared in the
wild and woolly West, and really is so
depraved by nature as to retrieve One
day recently Walters shot double over
one of this puppy's points. The dog
marked the last bird and at the word
dashed out after it. Returning with the
bird in his mouth, he ran across the other
bird and tried to bring in both at once
but could not do SO. He finally started
in with the one bird. but after leaving
the other about ten feet, he dropped the
first and went back for the second: car
rying it about ten feet nearer his master
than the former, he dropped it and went
back for the other, thus doubling his
course and bringing in both birds as near
as possible at once. That dog is not too
finely bred; his heart is not broken be-
cause he retrieves.
George Croker has developed into a
very enthusiastic sportsman. He has
purchased the famous Eastern field trial
dog, Bob Gates, Jr., an English setter
and has placed him in the hands of Mr.
Walters of Gait for the purpose of ac-
quainting him with the field work as pre-
sented in this State, and to otherwise
have him conform to local customs.
Mr.. Croker has young dog also re-
Gently received from the East, which Mr..
Walters is training for the field trials of
1898. 1t win be gratifying to sportsmen
to know that Mr.. Croker has thrown his
influence and interest in this direction.
The field trials of this coast are rapidly
growing better and better.
