Sylvano and Alves, two dairy men,
have had frequent disputes lately
which have brought them into court.
This morning Alves was arraigned
for using threatening language
against Sylvano and both parties
appeared with their lawyers. Syl.
vano testified that Alves desired to
use him as an experimental station
for carving purposes, and Alves
swore that Sylvano used language
OF such an abusive character that
his modesty forbid him to repeat it..
The Judge expressed wish that
there were a law empowering a
magistrate to put certain people
under bonds to leave the magistrate
in peace. He suggested that the two
contestants should leave each other
alone and he placed Alves under a
bond OF $50 to keep the peace to-
wards Sylvano for the next six
months. The bond was furnished
the lawyers paid and possibility OF
watered milk created. j. X, Kahoo-

Ancient Chinese Description,

The rock recently discovered in
the mountains of the Magdalena
district, State of Sonora, which is
covered with Chinese inscriptions,
has just been visited by Sen Yuep,
a we'll ducated Chinaman of Quay
mas He says that the inscriptions
are Chinese, but are somewhat in
distinct. He made a copy Of them
and has translated enough of the
lines to show that the writing was
probably inscribed on the rock at
least 1000 years ago. There are ten
lines OF characters on the part OF
the rock in view, and some of the
lines may be still hurled under the
earth. There are ancient Chinese
combs and monuments to the north
of Msgdalena, near the mining camp
OF Jacoba. These have never been ex-
plored. Sen Yusp asserts that in the
history OF China there is tradition
that an exploring expedition divided
into eighteen parties landed on the
western coast of what is now Mexico
over twenty centuries ago,

thrown out for the purpose of pre-
venting Mr.. Dole from drawing the
salary appropriated for the presi
dent of Hawaii No appropriation
has been made for chairman OF the
Executive Council, and as there is
no president Of Hawaii, it will OF
course be- impossible for Mr.. Laws,
the Auditor. General, to issue a
salary warrant for $1,000 month to
Mr.. Dole. Should Mr.. Laws ignore
the strict letter of the appropriation
bill, he and his bondsmer will of
course be held responsible for any
moneys paid out by him without
due warrant in law. Hawaii needs
all the money which possibly can be
scraped together to pay the amount
of the national debt over and above
the $4,OOO,OOO assumed by the Wash
iugton Government.

A Southern View of the Flags.
CNew Bedford OIass.) standard)

|
1t is impossible not to feel good deal
of sympathy with the Richmond Dis
| patch in it's treatment OF the proposl.
ton to send back the Confederate Tags
now held in various places In the North.
That paper says
1.-THE success of this movement which
we understand TO be in the interest OF
more complete reconciliation between
the North and South, depends very
largely-wholly. indeed-upon the grace
fulness with which IL is made II IL
represents the general wish Of the north
err people, and is carried out without
any patroniZing speeches or airs OF f0r-
giveness, 1t may result benehclally. but
IL different course is adopted nothing
but harm may be expected from it,
We presume that as a matter OF fact
the great mass of people in the North
take but a languid interest in this mat
ter. They have no disposition 20
patronize the southern people or 10 put
on airs Of forgiveness; and, 10 tell the
exact truth, they think there are things
OF far greater Importance than whether
those flags are in one town or another.
If the flags are to go back most people.
we imagine, would prefer that they
should be boxed up and sent, express
charges prepaid, 10 their destination
without any fuss whatever. As for the
gushers, who are selling on the occs-
sion to exhibit their faculty for coming
phrases, there is very little patience or
sympathy with them. The less talk the
better, particularly when II comes from
cheap takers who are making the bulk
Of the stir.
The Richmond paper says the flags
have only a sentimental value. and that
many of them have not even that. as they
were taken from places where they were
never used. except for decorative purposes.
We presume that TO be entirely true. That
being the case, the emotional displays
of endorsement or opposition which have
attended the discussion are simply i'm
pertinent. 1t is not a subject requiring
a display of burning words. or OF tawdry
sentiment. II the flags can be sent back
in quiet, dignified way, well and good;
but If the sending is to be made occasion
for the contortions of the blatherskites
we think the country can dispense with
the performance.

w. A. O'Mara, a young man about Is

head and another on his temple were cut
and Mr.. O'Mara bled profusely. DIR. Car

picking the insensibe victim in his arms,

that number OF persons and cattle bsyA
died to-day from the effects OF drlnkl,,
the water. To-day the fish have beon
dying in large numbers, and are being
washed ashore. 1t is not thought that
there is one left In the stream. The
stencil from the ones washed ashore If,
almost unbearable.
The people are greatly excited, and
will not use the water from the well,
that are near the river. Where the
poison came from or what It consists OF
is a mystery. All that is known Is
that it has a deadly effect. One theory
is that the poison is due to some mineral
substance in the water, and Il Is said
that a peculiar sediment has been
found on the rocks. IL Is thought highly
improbable that the poisoning can be due
to fish berries or any ordinary poison.
The matter will be thoroughly IN
vestigated by Fish-and Game Warden

county Bluestone river is a small stream
and empties into New river about four
