New York, Nov. 1o.-The death yes
terday lat the age Of 76) Of Rear Ad-
miral Alexander g. Rhind. U. s. N,
closes the life Of one Of the most daring
Of the naval officers of this country.
Admiral Rhind performed operations in
the civil war for which he received the
thanks OF the navy department. 1t was
at the attack on Fort Fisher that he
won his greatest renown. Assisted by
Lieutenant Preston and q volunteer
crew from his own ship he commanded
the Louisiana, which, loaded with s15
tons Of gun powder and bombs, set to
explode by clockwork, was towed close
to the fort.
The officers and men were taken of
by the steamer Wilderness. The powder
beat blew up as expected, but did little
injury to the fort. This operation was
suggested by General Benjamin F. But
Ter and Admiral Porter, who detailed
the officers and in his report said: Com
rnander Rhind and Lieutenant Preston
had made an arrangement to sacrifice
themselves in case the vessel was
boarded. thing likely to happen"

1t has been conceded that the degree
Of civilization people has reached may
be accurately measured by its dietary.
Now, some one has said that "the
American feeds, the Englishman de-
YOURS, the Frenchman dimes" In view
of this statement one wonders what the
English have been doing through the
centuries to have advanced SO little. We
do not pretend to answer for them, but
would say for ourselves, we have been
hewing our way through forests, pio-
neering in every direction, in every
sense-ample apology for feeding in.
stead of dining.
But of course, 1t was q Frenchman
who made the declaration, and, of
course, he made it long ago, when, NOR
tifying though it be, honesty compels
us to acknowledge that we may have
been guilty. Times, however, and con.
ditions have changed, and not even the
most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to
admit that when the American has
reached the dining point he will have
more to dine upon than any ether man
in the world. The culture Of man in
America will demand all the ;.rt in his
cuisine that France by study has evolv-
ed, with the added merit of honesty in
his food, the DISCUSSES incident to pow

LUCKY FRENCHMEN.

The biggest nugget of gold ever
found in Shasta county was discovered
in the spring of 1870. One day three
Frenchmen, two of whom were named
Oliver Longchamp and Fred Rochon,
drove into the old town of Shasta in
search of a spot to mine. They hap
pened to have some business with A.
Coleman, a dealer in hardware and
notions. The three asked him where
was a good place TO mine. He care
lessly pointed in a northerly direction,
and said, Go over to Spring creek"
They took his advice, located a claim
on the creek, some eight miles north
of Redding, and a few days later one
of the Frenchmen picked up a nugget
of gold valued at $4,000. Ten years
later a miner named Dent Young
found a $3.50 nugget on Flat creek, near
where the Frenchmen found their fa-
nous chunk.
Plumas, though one of the richest
mining counties In California, has
yielded few valuable nuggets. The
largest was found by a Chinaman near
the mouth of Nelson creek, and was
worth $500. A miner at Enzabeth-
town. named Archie Little, discovered
a $1,000 nugget and Messrs. Hays and
Steadman found one above Mohawk
valley, near the county line, that
weighed 420 ounces and was worth
s6,7OO.
