some few of us who do not grieve that we are neither Of the Puritans nor of New England in any sense. Some of us do not entertain any considerable affection for the Puritan charsc- ter as 1t originated in the old world or as 1t expanded in the new. Even fin it's narrow mindedness and spirit of holier -than-thou self righteousness 1t doubtless served some good purposes. but the world long ago got more than enough of it. In its inherent meanness and dog in -the-manger rapacity 1t in the end destroyed the best civilization this continent has ever known. It sold the slaves to the South and then stole the slaves from the South. making money by both transactions and by both ruining the Southern people because these were above puritanism and not of 1t any sense.
 Perhaps few things in the running of man 6 race upon the earth are lacking in sweet- ness and light and human love in the more human sense as that spirit of puritanism which know by the other name of New England ism. So, many of us find no little to amuse us in the perfervid flow of vain glory which comes with this ''Forefathers Day" of Ioo2

GLORY AND THINGS.

But we all of us must admit that Senator Hoar spoke not inadvisedly when in his pu- ritanicai speech in Philadelphia he declared:
 'Ths orator of today puts his emphasis on Glory, on Empire. on Power. on Wealth. We live under and love, and we will shed our heartss blood for the same flag which foated over our fathers, and for which they were ready to die. But 1t sometimes ses5ns that the lag has different meaning. whether 1t float over the Capitol, or the ship-of-war, or the regiment on the march. or the public assem- bly. We no longer speak of it, except coldly and formally. as the symbol of Liberty, but onlyas the symbol of power. of a false cheap. tinsei glory"
 And. continuing. Senator Hoar made this as- tonishing statement:
 T heard an eminent Republican Senator say not long ago that he was sorry we had ever abolished slavery"
 That was the iron that sunk into the Sena- tors soul.

MINING NEWS.

zEILA>-The hoisting of rock was
suspended the middle of this week, and
the work of repairing the shaft has
been fairly inaugurated. The ore bins
of the mill were full of rock when the
shutdown occurred, the ore being suf-
fcient to run week or more.s While
the work of shaft repairing will be
prosecuted with all vigor, it is i'm
possible to tell accurately how long it
will take to complete. It is thought,
however. that three months will be
sufficient to see the work through
HoRN.-C. Nj. Meek visited the Horn
mine, near the Defender, early this
week. He reports that the work now
in hand consists in making a turn in
the tunnel so as to connect with the 80
foot shaft. This was expected to be
finished by the first of November; after
which taking out ore for milling will
be in order. The ore body is reported
from 6 to feet wide, and runs from
the tunnel level 10 the surface. An
idle mill, not far from the mine, will
no doubt be secured until other ar
rangements can be made.

Hooked by a Cow.

While Mrs. Mazzera, an old and re-
spected resident of Volcano, was in the
act of taking the bell off COW last
Monday morning, the animal, which
had always appeared docile and harm
less, suddenly hooked her with her
horn in savage manner. The point
of the horn caught the lady in the
groin, and penetrated the abdominal
cavity. Her sons heard her screams
for help, and hurried to her assistance.
DR.. Roberts was promptly on hand,
and attended to the injuries. The
accident is very serious one, but the
doctor looks for her recovery.

A Gun Bursts.

West Point was the scene of a seri-
GUS accident last Saturday by the
bursting of a shotgun. Grove BRUCE
and boy named Nixon were out hunt
ing with a muzzte loading shotgun.
The shotgun burst in Bruce's hand,
literally tearing his left hand to rib
bons. Some 10 shots were lodged in
young NiXon's thigh. Dr.. Wells of
West Point was called, and realizing
the serious character of the injuries,
telephoned for DR.. Roberts of Volcano.
After consultation, they administered
an anaesthetic, and amputated the
middle finger back to the wrist joint.
Nixou's leg was also attended to, and
at last accounts both patients were
doing we'll.

Attempted Suicide.

a man named William Parsons was
taken to the hospital on Wednesday by
j. Tonzi of near Mount Echo. He was
suffering FROM self-inflicted wound in
the throat, made with suicidal intent.
1t seems that Parsons was formerly a
resident of near Amador City. Some
years ago he held a responsible position
at the Kennedy mine. Latterly he had
been working at the copper mine at
Camp Seco. He left there three weeks
ago, and was journeying toward ANA
dor City. 1t is reported that he had
been drinking heavily, and this was
the cause of his attempt upon his own
life. He was found wandering around
below Amador, between Amador City
and Dry town, with his throat cut, and
in kind of dazed condition. The
wound had no doubt been inflicted sew
eral days before. When able to
converse, he told his attendants that
he had used razor to do the work {;
that he wanted to get out of the world
anyway, as he had lived long enough.
The wind-pipe was entirely severed,
but fortunately the jugular vein was
not touched. Had that vein been cut
he would have bled to death in a few
seconds. When brought to the hos
pital he was very weak from exposure,
lack of nourishment and loss of blood
DR.. Gall promptly attended to his
wounds. 1t required 16 stitches to
close the cut. The wind-pipe also had
to be stitched to its place. The victim
Is by no means out of danger, as the
wind-pipe is much slower in uniting
and healing than ordinary tissue.
Parsons, Notwithstanding his weakened
condition, displayed great nerve under
the operation. He was so reduced in
strength, that it was deemed danger
GUS to administer chloroform.- So the
wounds were stitched without any
anaesthetic whatever, the patient
scarcely finching under the painful
operation.
