COFFEE GREEKS TREASURES.
Nuggets Worth $4,000 Taken Out
Yesterday.

REDDING, Cal, Aug. II, 1S97-News
was received here last night from Coffee
Creek to the effect that $4,000 more of
gold dust and nuggets were taken out
yesterday afternoon from the pocket out
of which the Graves brothers took their

Another exceedingly rich discovery of
gold is reported on Morrison Gulch, about
two miles from the scene of the Graves
brothers discovery. 1t is said $4,000 was
taken out in one afternoon and that two
miners are taking out gold on an average
of $40 to the pan. This strike is on the
same vein of the Graves claim and is
supposed to be an extension of the same.

A 0russome Nights Reading.

Two college girls at home for their
spring vacation conceived brilliant
idea the other day. Every girl knows
the pleasure Of reading or listening to
"creepy" stories and being SO fright
ened that one daren't look over ones
shoulder. They determined to try this
delicious sensation to the uttermost pos
sible to them. They sat up all night,
with plenty of candy and substantial
luncheon. and pile Of books from
which to read to each other. These
stories included Kipling's "Bimi," Poe's
Murder in the Rue Morgue;" the
"Death of Nancy Sykes" Bulwer's
House and the Brain, and parts of the
stale Of Two Cities" In the morning
two very sleepy and somewhat cross
young women declared that one would
not believe how difficult it was to sit
down in cold blood and make up ones
mind to be scared. "You can't do u
deliberately" was their conclusion.

A PIE-EATING HORSE.
He Has Been Known to Refuse Oats for
Pie and Is Fat and Sleek.

He Has Been Known to Refuse Oats for
Pie and Is Fat and Sleek.
Leonard Jacobs, pie peddler OF An
sonia, Conn.,, has one of the most re-
markable horses in Connecticut. Other
towns have boosted of horses that chew
tobacco, chew gum or drink beer, but
Jacobs horse will eat pie, says local
exchange. The horse is twenty-three
years old. Jacobs pies come from New
Haven, packed in cases, and in trans
portation some of them generally get
broken and cannot be sold. One day
Jacobs threw a broken pie on the
ground near the horses head. The ami
NAL smelled of it, touched 1T with his
tongue, Tapped it up and ate it with
relish. Then Jacobs began to feed pies
to the horse. The horse soon got to
like them, and would even refuse oats
when pie was to be had. The habit
has grown on him, until now, when
Jacobs says 'pie" to him, the horse will
turn his head and wink expectantly.
He has decided preference for mince
pie, and the more raisins and currants
and cider there are the better he is
pleased. Apple pie is great favorite
with him. Most bakers put grated nut
meg into the apple pie, and this doesn't
seem to agree with the equine taste.
Pumpkin pie he likes and cranberry
tarts are an especial delight. Peach
apricot, berry and prune pies are &C
ceptable, but unless the prunes are
stoned he will not touch prune pie after
the FIRST bite. The horse is fat, sleek,
and youthful in his movements, and
Jacobs expects to keep him on the pie
cart until he is long past the age when
most horses are turned out to grass for
the rest of their days or are carted to
the horse cemetery by the side OF the
uurky waters of the Naugatuck river

THE ITALIAN PEOPLE.
A View Of Th~ir Present Condition and
Prospects for tho Future.

A View Of Th~ir Present Condition and
Prospects for tho Future.
What are the prospects Of the people7
That depends in the present case large
ly upon the people themselves. A peo-
pie that are not united will never bear
taxation patiently, because disunited
people cannot be commercially pros
porous, and, therefore, cannot afford to
pay the taxes. The difference between
north and south Italy, or between Pied
mont and Sicily, are not, indeed, like
those between Ireland and England,
largely religious, but they are certain
ly radical, and the gulf between the
easygoing, but passionate, children of
the two Sicilies and the hardy noun
taineer and stalwart cultivator of the
Piedmont plains is almost as wide as
the chasm between the Teuton and the
Celt. Victor Emanuel's favorite unifer
of Italy was the army, but, says the
Fortnightly Review, it has turned in the
hands of his successor into disin-
tegrator. 1t was all very well to move
the army up and down Italy when the
army was symbol of common liberia
ton from which SO much was expected;
but now the tyrants are gone there is
no longer halo of romance about the
army, nothing but army bills. The
tyrant now is the tax collector.
Undoubtedly the people have griev-
ance. The taxes have been not only
cruelty but unjustly exacted. The col
lector has entered Sicilian cottages,
backed by the police, and, seeing the
pot-a-feu smoking, argued that those
who could afford to eat could afford to
pay supplement" or excess tax, and
If it turned out there was no money,
the officers of the law have been known
to seize the dinner and throw it out the
window, under the noses of the poor
peasant and his hungry family. There
was no redress for the subjects of Hum
bert any more than for those of Bomba,
when his police, under the brutal
Manisalco at Palermo, dragged the
wives and daughters of the Palermitans
out of bed, stole their jewelry and ar
rested their husbands aud brothers on
fictitious charges. People will always
rise against misgovernment and oppres
sion, whether the government calls It
self republican, monarchial or any
! other.

CLIMATE AND TONGUES.
Some Curious Effects Noted In the Rugged
North and Sunny South.

Some Curious Effects Noted In the Rugged
North and Sunny South.
Gutturals predominant in Norway
and Russia, whereas, far TO the south
ward, in sunny Italy, there is a pro-
fusion of such euphonious names as
Palermo, Verona, Campobcllo, and SO
forth. Even in the British isles, cover
ing so few degrees of latitude, there is
q marked difference between the
"burr" Of the Highlander and the soft
speech Of the native Of southern Eng
land.
A theory which may partly account
for these climatic effects is based upon
the contrast of the stiffness which usu-
ally pervades southern lands with the
stormy inquietude of northern coun-
tries. Cloudless skies for months at a
time characterize the climates OF Italy
while a armament entirely free from
clouds is rare in Norway.
1t requires, of course, greater effort
to be heard in regions which are swept
BY winds and storms than in still south
ern ATTITUDES, and to be heard distinct
ly amid the noise and confusion OF the
elements words must be used which
contain many consouants-
Among the inha bitants OF more trop-
ical chimes the tendency is toward soft
and musical cadence, and travellers re-
late that in regions in South America,
such as Peru and Venezuela, where at
mospheric disturbances are rare, the
natives almost chant the phrases Of
aalutatiOn.

The boy laughed. "Oh," he said, "he
steals lead pipe off roofs, and some
times he breaks into houses. Say, yer
amt policeman, are you? Well, that's
all right. Pepper amt got no regular
business. Sometimes he lies along the
waterfront and robs drunken sailors
and sometimes he sandbags people. To
day he's trying his hand at picking
pockets on the Bowery, but l guess
he'll get pinched, because he generally
does at that game. Don't put him
down as pickpocket, mister, for he's
regular greeny at that"
The directory man scrubbed some.
thing in a notebook and moved away.
The boy called after him curiously
"What did yer put pepper down as

ing, but nd up the book, in which
was written:
