1t will be remembered that the New
York Herald, not long ago, dispatched a
commission to Asia Minor for the pur-
pose of finding the truth concerning the
massacres of Armenians. It has not
resulted in blank failure. Rev DR. GeoI ge
81. Hepworth, Notwithstanding his age
and the hampering condition of his Jour
ney, has found the truth and stated it..
1t in no respect differs from the original
accounts of the missionaries. 1t is true
that he makes more than they did of the
element of the Armenian revolutionists,
whose incendiary labors furnished the
pretext for the massacres. The results
of his trip are interestingly told by the
Springfield Republican, as follows: The
facts which DIR Hepworth dweIls upon,
that Russia welcomes trouble in Turkey
as means of opening her pathway to
the possession of Constantlnople and free
sea-way, that Russia instigated the
Hundschagists' silly revolution,-these
are mere pretexts for murder and spolia-
Eion among people whom the Turks
have always treated in this fashion, be-
cause they know well that the keen
enterprise and vigorous nature OF the
Armenians would put them in COM
handing position in Asia Minor, and
render the place of the Turk there as
hopeless as it is now In Europe, just as
soon as the Turk gets turned out of Eu-
rope. There Is nothing palmer than that,
with the help OF the European powers
withdrawn, the whole sultanate would
go down In Asia as well. The missior
aries are full of praise of DR. Hepworth
because be has honestly reported their
attitude. This is not Il doubt at the

for such inactiol

At the last regular meeting of the
Grange the subject for discussion was,
s'Will the New York milk trust be beni-
fetal to the farmers?' Lecturer Averill
called on B. N. Seeley, who was present
to give his experience and knowledge of
the milk market at the present time. Mr.
Seeley also spoke highly of the business
ability of the members of the trust. Lee
turer Averill then spoke on the advan-
tages and disadvantages Of q milk trust.
1t was the general opinion that under the
present condition OF the milk market the
trust might prove beneficial rather than
an injury. The topic for next Grange
meeting, February %, is, Resolved,
that the farmers who sell milk should
raise their own calves" Discussion,
"What can we do in the winter to adj
vance the spring work, first, on the farm,
second, in the house, Essay, reading

THE MAN WHO FIRST DISCOVERED GOLD IN
CALIFORNIA.

Had Marshall been q man of ordinary
shr4wdness or tact, he could have made
a fortune by taking up claims and work
ing them by hired labor. Instead he
wasted his time and energies in forts to
prevent predatf ~ attacks on his cattle
and saw-mill, and caused so much iIi-feel-
ing that he was forced to seek safety
by fl GIT. This experience soured his
disposition, and on his return be foolish
Iy boosted of rich mines of which he
knew, but the location of which he re-
fused TO disclose. Hungry prospectors,
eager to make their fortunes, were driven
neatly insane by such tantalizing, and
again Marshall was compelled to leave
suddenly to save his life. His mill was
torn down and most of his propc rey
conf Gated. He returned, built small
cabin near the scene of his great dis
covery, and there lived the life ola re-
cluse, prospecting in the mountains, and
eking out pos living.
Efforts were made to secure pension
for the man who started the great de-
velopment of California, and the Legis-
lature granted allowance for four years,
amounting in all to $1,000. This was all
the money that Marshall ever received
from the State for discovery that made
scores of millionsries, and that crowded
into 10 years the normal development
of a half-centu'y. Marshall regarded
himself as an ill used man. He nursed
his grievance, and as hermit he lived
till August 10, 1885, when he was found
dead in his lonely cabin.
His grave is on hill not far from the
site of his great discovery, and two
years afte r his death the State erected
monument TO his memory. The monu-
ment is of granite, is 81 feet in height,
and is surmounted by a brorze statue 10
and a half feet high representing typi-

sublime porte, and never has been.
They do not encourage revolution In Ar
menia, because it is hopeless. They
know that 100000 Armenians, With
scarcely any arms, and no possibility of
obtaining them, are no match for 10000
900 Turks, well equipped by favor of the
Christian powers of Europe. The mi
sionaries always dissuade from revolt.
They never interfere with political af-
fairs. They Cbristianize and above all
they educate. All this is we'll known,
and yet it is true that the influence of
missions is to awaken the people against
injustice. Dr. Hepworth recognizes the
peaceful purposes of the missionaries,
and he speaks very plainly as to the action
of the Turks; and he justly lays the bur-
Gen Of the massacres as they have occur
red upon the supineness of Great Britain,
for that power might have stopped them
and compelled reform if it had not been
stricken with a cowardice which will
forever blot its fame. A nation which
undertakes the moral policing of the
world, and which has assumed the posi-
ton of sponsor for the porte for half a
century, cannot evade the responsibility
for such inactiop.
