1t is case of this nature that causes
some alarm among the leading society
people of the city of Los Angeles.
For long time past there have oc-
Cured examples of this disease, as some
term it, and great uneasiness is felt, for
there doubtless exists in the 400 of this
city some individuals who in plain Ian
guage take what does not belong to
them. The strange part is, however,
that the kleptomanisc Cor thief has a
penchant for lace, or other valuable
shawls.
About three years ago, at large re-
ception given by Major Chaffee, at his
residence, there was missed very val
liable lace shawl and although the
most minute search was made at the
time, and since, its whereabouts re-
mains a mystery, and the owner still
mourns its loss. After an interval of
some two years, atanother similar social
event, again a shawl ID missed. this
time one Of rare worth, And again was
great interest manifested in it's recovery,
but no one has ever come forward to say
who took it or where it went, and once
more society was shocked to feel that IN
its midst existed some one who was
given to the wearing of fine wraps that
they obtained without paying for.
The matter was allowed to sleep, and
it was hoped that some mistake was
made or the article borrowed; but no,
it never came back.
Once more, and for the third time,
does lace shaw! disappear,
and although the owner, q
lady well known in this city,
remembering the past singular disap-
pearsnces OF shawls. was more than
ordinarily careful and after rolling her
shawl up in small packet, placed it in
what she considered a safe place, but at
the close of the reception, which took
place on last Thursday, at the residence
of Judge Graf, no trace of the article
could be found. 1t came to all that this
state of things was out OF the ordinary
and that while mistakes will occur,
sometimes they are rectifed, but no one
has come forward to explain either cir
cumstance.
Society is aroused and steps will be
taken to protect in future the property
of its guests, and it is to be hoped that
the kleptomaniac will find new pastures
or eventually come to grief.

A MYSTERY OF DREAMLAND.

Wh[e the Doctors Were Helpless n Boy q
! Vision Effected His Cure.
e E Savannah, Mo-, last June, Thomas,
-sfie 11-year-old son of farmer named
Alexander Gilpin, was stricken with
rheumatism of the right side and leg.
The pain was so severe that his parents
were obliged to keep anything from
touching the body or limb. Drs. Mar
tin, Kerr and Jefferies of Savannah
could do nothing to stop the pain. On
Thursday, Dec. 7, he fell into what
seemed to be trance and could not be
aroused for some hours. When he fin
ally awakened, being unable to talk,
he wrote on piece of paper to his par
ents that he had seen his two little dead
brothers and sister. He said they told
him to send to certain field and at a
particular place to scrape away the
snow until they would find a bed of
moss, and under the moss bunch of
roots, which they were to bring to him.
The doubling parents yielded to his
entreaties, and going to the place found
everything as the boy had stated. They
brought the roots home, and the boy
told them how he had been instructed
to prepare an ointment with them. The
ointment was made and applied to the
seat of pain, the result being that the
next day the boy left his bed. He can
now walk as we'll as ever
These facts are vouched for by q. J.
Hurley, the editor of the Savannah
Democrat, the physicians, and all of

Tho Red Rock Minas.

Bakersfield Californian: P. J. Joblin
returned Sunday from Red Rock canon,
where he has some mining claims. He
gives very interesting account OF mat
ters there. The weather is warmer than
here and not cloud is to be seen. The
drift, or what is called gravel, has been
so dsmpened by the rains and SHOWS
that it cannot be worked in the dry
washing machines until thoroughly
dried. So all the miners who are now
at work, strip the dirt to bedrock and
spread it out in the sun, expecting to be
able to put it through the machine in a
week or 80.
Black & Sullivan have sunk shaft
some 80 feet deep, striking bedrock on
the lower part of their claims. The
gravel" at that depth below the sur
face iB perfectly dry. From the bottom
they are going to drift each way to find
the channel, where it is confidently be-
lieved rich pay will be found.
The owners OF the Bonanza claim,
which was recently sold for $4,000, are
reported to have taken $4,000 in gold oat
OF space only $50 feet in length up and
down the gulch, and averaging not over
6 feet in width. But they overloaded
the capacity of their dry washers; so
much so that a party which leased the
tailings are taking out as much as two
ounces of gold a day. There are two
stores at Red Rock, and supplies can
be had at very reasonable prices. There
are about go permanent residents of
that district, men who have claims or
are working them. There is also con-
slant income and outgo of desert
rats"-men who wander, staying day
in place. These rolling stones gather
even no desert moss, and are of no good
to themselves or any other. But those
who have settled down to steady work
have almost all of them good prospects
ahead, and will make money as soon as
the gravel" dries sufficiently to allow
it's being put through the waaher.

Among the superstitions of southern
negroes are those which make it most
unfavorable thing to see a black cat
crossing ones path, or to turn back
without making cross" in the street,
road or path. The belief in witches
is perhaps more general than any other,
and an ex-congressman tells of case in
this section within the past 80 years in
which a witch was killed in a very
strange fashion. A negro called on
witch doctor. a very old woman, and
was told that the cause of the trouble
was witch and that she must be kill
ed; that the only way possible to thus
put her out Of the way was to go into
the woods and cut the figure of per-
son on the bark of big pine tree, mark
a cross ON the body and shoot this with
a silver bullet, the cross representing
the witchs heart The shooting was
duly done in the presence of quite
number of persons. This occurred in
the northern part Of this county. Ce-
dar balls are carried in the pockets as
a protection against witches. The ne
gro belief in these is certainly fully
matched by that of white men who car
ry in their pockets buckeyes and Irish
potatoes, or who wear thick iron rings
on their fingers as preventive of rheu-
matism. Cor. Washington Star.

Riverside Enterprise: Governor Blais-
dell, who owns the Santa Rosa mine,
has had it surveyed for the purpose OF
applying for government patent.
A Riverside party just in from the
Goler mining district, states that the re-
ports from these mines as we'll as from
the Red Rock districts underestimate
the value and riches of the mines. He,
however, further states that all the
mining ground in either district has
been taken up and that there is no
chance for late corners.
A man named Lochler has discovered
ledge of ore which promises to make
him a rich man. The Elsinore Press in
speaking of the matter says that Mr..
Lochler was exhibiting specimens of ore
from the mine which assayed $48 to $50.
The ore is said to be free milling and
the ledge 20 feet thick. He has recorded
his filing of the claim.
Referring to the Good Hope mine, the
last issue of the New Era says: IS. N.
Reppert has entered into q contract
with the Good Hope Mining company to
grade and level all that land at the mine
on which will be located the mill plant.

mems quarters. Offices, etc. The work

The same paper says that application
has been made by the Good Hope peo-
pie for the establishment of q postoffice
at the mines, and that If one is estab-
lished mail will be sent direct from this
city to the new Office.
The new owner OF the Good Hope In
tends running the mine for all that is
in the business, if the report is true that
when the mine starts up it will be RUIZ
every day in the week, day and night.
The men will be divided into three
shifts, each to work eight hours.
The Morongo King Mining company
has purchased the five-stamp sampling
mill formerly in use at the Temescal tin
mines; also another fve.stamp mill and

RoLLINe ACROSS TAE OCEAN.
The Curious Craft That Is Proposed by a
French Engineer.

-
French Engineer.
In these days of revolutionary prof.
ects in matters mechanical and scien-
tific unusual engineering exploits have
lost much of their tendency to create
surprise. Still that sensation may be
produced in mild degree by the latest
scheme of ocean transportation whGh
has reached us from France, and which
has M. Bazin, not unknown in engi-
neering circles, for its author.
M. Bazin proposes, in brief, to build
an Atlantic liner ON eight rollers, with
the view of securing speed much higher
than any thus far attached, arguing
that the wheels or rollers ON which the
vessel is to rest will so greatly diminish
the resistance offered by the waves that
80 knots an hour will be easily within
the bounds of possibility, and will en-
able the'passage from Southampton OF
Liverpool to New York to be made in
four days. The rollers are to enter the
water to depth of about 26 feet, and
revolve within platform placed about
"a feet above the water, so that there
will be a rolling instead of gliding
body, as is the case in ordinary ships.
The rollers presumably are to be worked
by engines to secure propulsion.
M. Balm claims to have settled by
experiment that the stability of the
roller type of vessel is at least as great
as that of the ordinary type, and be-
lieves that the construction of his design
of ship will be much less costly than
that of the usual description. Accord
ing to French report, it is proposed to
put M. Bazin's plans to practical
test by constructing vessel about 400
feet long and of about 80 feet beam,
with rollers rs feet in diameter, and 35
'fdet wide. The latter are to make 90
revolutions per minute. Casters Mag

the bottom of the well four-inch pipe

when he struck bed of blue clay. That

feet through clay work was stopped for
the day. Last Friday. in FIVE and three
quarters hours, the drill was put down
so additional feet through the same bed
of clay. That was a remarkable distance
to drill in less than six hours; and it
seems to be remarkable bed of clay,
too, as when work was stopped Friday
night the bed was known to be So feet

Plenty of good water will not be found

the expense of building railroad will

GENIUS IS INDIFFERENT.
Surroundings Have Naught to Do with tie
Thread of Thought.


1t might be conjectured perhaps that
Scott's and Byron's genius was favored,
by the circumstances of their birth,
that the wild scenes in which Scott s
infancy was passed, and tho local leg
ends with which his head was filled do
termined him to ballad writing, and
that the ballad writing led naturally in
its turn to romance, and that the high
station and undisciplined liberty of
Byron's childhood fostered that passion
ate self will and brooding imagination
which showed themselves in his fierce,
scornful and moody verse. This, We
say, might perhaps be conjectured with
some probability. and the like might be
said of Wordsworth s infancy.
But how shall we maintain that tho
conditions of Keats coclzney birth in a
livery stable or his education in dis.
secting room favored tho growth of that
most delicate and rich type or almost
Hellenic clearnees and beauty Of mag
ination? And how shall we maintain
that Dickens mental task in the cork
ing of backing bottles fostered tho
growth of that wonderful humor and
that microscopic accuracy Of vision
which filed the world with laughter
and with inimitable caricature such as
no comedy, not even Moliere's, had an
ticipated?
Again, who would have ventured to
predict that wild, despotic, Irish evan
gelical spirit like Patrick Bronte, ban
ished to the bleakest of Yorkshire moors,
would have been the father of children
so eager, original and vivid in their rev.
cries as those who eventually produced
the unique passion of Ellis and Currer
Bells genius? So far as we know any
thing of the origin of genius, that orr
gin is usually surprise.
1t is the rare exception, and not the
rule, when we find Chatham succeeding
in producing such dollhouse flower az
William Pitt, or James Mill succeeding
in celebrating a specimen more perfect
than himself of thinker of his own
type, in the studious, diligent, diffuse,
lucid and rather dreary logician and
economist who left his mark on the
English philosophy of the third quarter
of this century. Nor do we ever find in
rare instances of this sort the higher
kinds of original genius. Pitt and John
Stuart Mill were considerable triumphs
of training for a purpose, but that pur-
pose was very limited enc and had
none of the largeness and freshness of
vitality which attaches to original gen.
