We speak Of our jewels; and VIC say,
knowingly. that they are jewels of the
first water. Never were there any such
never will there be again-unless they
are also ours. They are God. given, and
our title in them is sure and perpetual
They are inalienable, no power on earth
or in heaven can wrest them from us.
We do not fear to let our heart go out TO
them; for they arc the treasure which
neither moth nor rust can corrupt, and
which thieves cannot steal. OF what
force 10 Us is the plaltudinous warning ::
"Don't set your affections so strongly on
these idols God may take them away
and shroud your heart in gloom" God
will nerer take away our jewels. He
does not propose so TO do. He may en-
large their opportunities for development
by removing them from the untoward
surroundings of life but it will be only
that we may the more surely rest in their
possession. Besides, that which is dear
to us He will not remove. Death cannot
rob us Of the memory Of happy hours.
The voice which charmed our ears-thc
glance from loving eyes-the smile which
thrilled our soul with cctasy are our ever
lasting possession. We live in this pres
ent enjoyment, and fear nothing for tho
Iu,urc. No sorrowlul forebodings shall
come between us and our jewels. We
will wear them cheerfully. ioyously, ex =
ultingly, in our heart of hearts; thanking
God always for His mercy in opening TO
Us this incxhaustible mine OF human love

SETTLES THE QUEsrIoN.-We charged the
Supervisors with giving the county printing

MED it, and now he publishes the proposals
and both bids, which bears us out in every

in regard to the matter. The Supervisors
did give the contract to the highest bidder
and we will take the work done now or al

SICKENs WITH DIsGUsT.-When the Re-

State Central Committee of this State pass
ed resolutions to catch the German vote, the
thing was SO disgustingly transparent that
even the Sacramento Union denounced it in
bitter terms, saying:


THE Germans are intelligent enough to see
through this thin transparency, and will not
thank any party for such an attempt to use theil
sympathes in controlling their reason


In this the Union is right. The Germans
the Irish, the French and all classes of adopt
ed citizens in this country do know that the
Democracy is the only party that has al
ways contended for their rights. Such mis-
erable hypocritical trickery should be and
will be dispised and spit upon by every in
telligent German in the country.

WHY, yes, Mcbride was only mistaken
about the big nugget, but the Stripes, two

has had the courage or disposition to set the

such an editorial as appeared in that paper,
we feel certain that he would have taken it

contradict the editorial error was what made
it what Webster calls a lie. Our neighbor
is hard to please. He sometimes growls at
US for not talking plain enough, and then
again he scolds because we talk too plain.

If these figures are true, then Grants Ad-
mnstraton has stolen about seventeen hun
dred million dollars in the last year, or about
six times as much as the legitimate expenses
of the Government and interest on the pub
lie debt costs. In other words, Grant and
his officials have stolen as much in one year
as would buy all the property in some six
such States as California. These figures
were paraded before the public to show
what terrible tax gatherer Grant is, and
would really show that he has, in one short
year, managed to gather in fully tenth
in value of all the property in the United
States. Now we are willing to admit that
Grant and his Administration do steal about
as much as all the property in California is
worth, each year, but we are not ready to
believe this correspondents figures correct,
if they do see first the light in the Unions
columns. We have made no mistake about
these figures, and invite the immediate at
tention of the Union editors to these as
founding figures, which they will find in the
issue of the 4th inst. According to these
figures Grant has already stolen about enough
to pay off the National debt, and we want
the Union to explain the matter.

| CRITICISMS. Our cotemporary around
the corner, for want of something better
to FIJI up the local column, devotes about
half its space to criticising the locals OF
| THE TRIBUNE OF week before last in such
manner as to insinuate that we do not
tell the truth. Mistakes will occur in
newspaper, and as proof of the fact
we note the following mistake in its
last issue.


INJURED.-On last Tuesday horse
attached to load of hay fell through
Horns dock, on Commercial street, and
sustained severe injuries.


Now, we are informed by Mr.. Horn
himself that it was the soagon, loaded
with hay that sustained severe injur-
ies'' instead Of the horse, and that it
occurred in the immediate vicinity of
that office instead of Horns dock. We
do not make this correction to show that
the editors of that sheet are habitual
liars, as they would have their readers





believe we are, but Cor the purpose of H.
lrstratIng the fact that they are but NOR
tai and liable to err. There was no sense
in the criticisms they made on US, and
were entirely uncalled for; but it was
probably intended as method of dray-
ing us into personal wranglings with
them through the columns of our paper.
If such is the case they have failed. We
have the reputation of getting up a paper
fit to be read by any one in any society,
and even if we have talent to write abu
siye articles, we don't propose to do it.
Never, before the new editorial manage
ment came into our cotemporary' Office,
has there been one word of unpleasant
ness between them and US, and if the
new editor thinks to "cut shine" by
becoming abusive in his remarks on any
one or any subject, he will soon discover
that he is not in Detroit but il a city
possessed of higher moral and social
principles than will allow of such articles
as he evidently would find occasion to
write about US. We want to speak we'll
of them or not at all, and we hope the
former pleasant relations between the
Plot and our paper may be continued.
