Sups. B. NJ. MCGOWAN, OF the Indian
school at Fort Mohave, under date Of
June 18th. sends in the following &C.
count Of the finding Of mans body on
. sand bar in the Colorado river:
Last evening Mojsve Indian came
to The Fort and told me that he had
found the body Of q white man on sand
bar in the Colorado river, about seven
miles down the river from Fort Mohave.

the body lying on it's face IN a hole In

his shirt VAS gone. The scsnt remains
OF his shirt showed il to have been red
flannel one. He had on = pair Of blue
overslis and pair OF fine, calf-skin
boots, nearly new. and OF the cowboy
style. The body had been out Of the
water Tor two days and was con ,iderably
decomposed and badly swollen. We
could s'e, however, that he had been
large. strong man. weighing close to
lSO pounds. His face had been round
aud full aud he had evidently worn q
light mustache. HE forehead was high
and his hair dark in color. Although
the smell was extremely offensive we
ripped his pockets open with the hope
OF finding some thing by which to den.
lily him. In his pockets were found a
portion OF copy Of the San Francisco
Chronicle dated May l3, 1894, a pocket
knife and $4.75 in silver. This was all

accidents on the river and cannot i'm

He was esiI-nily either a miner or a
cowboy. I am Inclined TO think the
latter.
IL will be remembered that We men.
toned the disappearance OF Jack Thomas
from Ell Dorado Canyon in our last Issue.
The fact OF his disappearance, as near as
we can learn, is as follows: Thomas had
been working on a ledge, in the new
camp five miles below the canyon for
Lafe StiDette and was discharged by him
about the first OF the month. He bought
a pair OF new cowboy boots and stated
that he was going on prospecting trip.
A few davs after his departure, John
Huess saw lot OF buzzards circling
around a certain place and thought It
somewhat strange 0n invest tieating he
found pair Of shoes that Thomas had
worn and also his hat. At the same
place was a small mound OF stones that
hal evidently been erected by Thomas.
Nothing further has ever been heard Of
him and now it is supposed that he was
drowned while attempting to cross the
river on his way TO White Hills.
John Thomas, or rather Billings. vas
born near San Jose, California. and was
twenty seven years Of age. He WAS q
miner and resided in this county good
manv years. The faculty Of location

chaste as the flowers and that wherever there

Ambrose and Duffie were once law partners

September, and in October, although Demo
crat, was appointed by Governor Crounse to
the place until the election of the judge. Am
brose was nominated by the Republicans and
elected. A fortnight ago Monday night the
official count was completed, and he at once
qualified. The next morning he appeared at
the courthouse and demanded Duties seat.
Dufie was surprised, but reliDquished it. This

Christianity in his system, Like Describes,
his purpose was to substitute demonstration
and certainty for hypothesis and conjecture
It war his aim to found the moral life upon
axiOms, to discover the mathematics of con-
duct, the geometry of morality. Following
the example of Euclid, he introduces his chap
ten with number of axioms which require
no proof.
The god Of Spinoza unlike the god of Des-
cartes, is one with the universe Everything
- god, and there il only god. Man is only
changing modusn Of this iDfiuite substance.
The wave Of the ocean is not anything diff. r
emit from the OCEAN, the whole ocean is not in
each wave but all that there is in each wave
d from the ocean. It is not the drop in the
- that is alive it is the ocean that gives
emotion to the drop; it is not man that is
thinking and acting, it il the e'ernal. Man is
but IN avenue through which the infinite flows
and throhs with life when the current is with
drawn the man il dead. When we see the
tossing waves of the sea We say this is one Of
the "modus" or moods Of the ocean ; when
We zee . mountain kissing the ouds or
chasm yawning between two precipices, or
man beating with thought of love, we say there
arc some Of The moods of the infinite substance.
Gosthe and Pope borrowed this pantheistic
conception when they spoke of the universe as
the garment of God
All are but parts Of one stupepdous whole,
Whose body nature is and God the soul
" In the psychology of Spinoza there is NO
room for moral freedom there isonly universal
necessity. God, or the infinite substance, has
not the power to be anything else than what
1t ia The liberty which is wanting in the
infinite whole cannot exist in the infinite parts.
There being no freedom, there is no moral res
possibility Our actions are neither morally
good nor morally evil. How foolish it would
be to hold wave Of the sea responsible for the
movements of the Atlantic ocean, The help
les wave Is in the control of the ocean and is
what the ocean makes it. How foolish to
separate drop Of rain from the storm and
punish it for its actions the little drop is in
the control of the storm. Our mind is col

atoms or ideas in man are controlled by the
infinite substance. Our life is borrowed life,
just as the light of the moon is borrowed from
tho sun. The good. according to Spinozs, is
the useful, that which brings joy, that which
keeps away sorrow. The passage of the soul
from lower to higher perfection is
JOY; the passage of the soul from q
higher to q lesser perfection is sorrow.

A resolution was adopted that memorial be presented to the open senate tomorrow. The memorial was practically completed at late hour, but the association refused to make Its contents public.
