The men who worked for Sutter on the old t'oloma mill have nearly all found uncontested claims, and are re.st inr therein forever; but up at the '4'J mining c imp at the Midwinter iair is ad elderly oue-lcgced Mormon, named .lames S. liruun, who is the only living man who was present when Marshall washed the yellow grains in the camp dough pan; and lie is the man who first tested tnose flaky scales with fire, and, jroinpr forth from the shanty to where the men were at work on the mill race, was the first to cry: "Boys, here's tfold!" James Brown is sixty-five years old now. In 1S43 he was a lusty youth of not yet twenty summers. He had two iejrs then. It was only a quarter of a century ago that 'he lost the other at a bear hunt. I am the oldest miner alive in Cali fornia to-dav." said he. "1 don't mean that I am the oldest in years, because am only stxty-tive, and there arc many men here to-day who have worked in the early days and are now much older than tne. Hut I was the first miner. I was with Marshall when he first discovered gold in January, lb4s. and I was the first man to know about it. The story is an old one. It was at Capt. Sutter's mill on the inerican river, which we were bnild ngr. Marshall, who was a wheelwright ;v trade, w-as in charge of the work, ile was a particular frien 1 of mine, .ut there were nearly one hundred of .is working on the millraee at the tine. He had len reading books .ibout gold and mines and things, and I remember very well his coming to me one uav and talking about quartz aud betli-oc.c and similar matters, and tciling me that he thought there was gold in the country. 'You see, we had come upon the rock when we were diggiug the race and were afraid that it would interfere with our making an even channel for the water. Then it was that Marshall came to me and told me about the books he had baen reading, anil on the afternoon of the J3d of January. he deterinired to do a little prospect ing, lie asked me to bring him the pan. It was a common, ordinary pan that we baked bread in and the like, lie spent all the afternoon with that pan trying to find gold, but he hadn t got aiiythiug by supper. The next morning early he started out with the pan again. We boys were excavating in the ditch when he came up from the hole where he was work ing and told us he hail louna some min eral. He had it in his hat; a w hole lot of little flake-like scales. They were all small bits, and all scaly, and he wasn't sure what they were. He hand ed the hat to me, and 1 took one of the Hakes and bit it. I could tell by biting it that it w as gold, but. of course, I wasn't sure. So I took it into the cab in, where a logfirwas burning, and I tested it in the tire'to see if it would melt. But it wouldn't melt, and then I knew it was gold, sure. Then I came out with it to where the men were working, and, 'Hoys,' said I, it is gold!" "That was the first announcement of the diseovtry of gold in California, and I was the first man to test the metal and the first man to proclaim it" It is needless to say that neither Brown nor Marshall nor any of those ther mill builders at Coloma was look ing for or expecting gold in those days. As .1 matter of fact, they were working -.villi the vaguest hope of ever receiving my monetary consideration for their ialor. As the old pioneer very tersely and pathetically puts it: "Old Capt. Sutter owes me one hundred do'lars in cold cash y.-t for t he work I put in on that mill race, and I know I'll never get it, seeing as he is dead. "But we had 110 kick coming, lie cause we hal agreed to accept cattle, horses and grub in part payment for our work. Moreover, we picked up enough gold before we left the place to square our accounts with the cap tain's Coloma enterprise. . We had couie with a bigger mission than that of seeking gold. We were Mormons. Many of us were soldiers. I had been serving with my battalion in the south, but after our disband ment was marching with the rest of onr people to Utah. At Coloina we found that we had not provisions and stock enough to supply th.i entire ex pedition during the rest of the journey over the w ildcrness, so we decided to sen. 1 1.10 nlJ.-r pectple, men of family, etc., ahead with supplies eiiou-rh to carry th m through, while over a hundred of us decided to wait over an other year and work for old Capt. Sui ter in the meantime. 'Money was scarce in those days, and, though Capt. Sutter was very well fixed, he had but little ready cash We only wanted stock ai'd provisions, and these we agreed to accept iu lieu of ready cash payments for any : erv-i-es we might render. At that time the old captain was anxious to build a grist mill and a lumber mill on the American river. 1 .11 loir was scarce skilled labor lion-existeut. Therefore our arrival was very timely for him. We had wheelwrights, smiths, car penters aud skilled masters of every olher trade in our company, ail I he was able- to tee u re our services without the expenditure of a cent of ready money. " hen the discovery had once lieen made we tried for awhile to keep it quiet, and Sutter, who was aovioiis to see hi. mills completed, was particu larly uuxinus to keep the secret close, but thou-jii tin; news spread round anions all the workiueu they neverthe less completed both the L'rist and ttie lumber null and did not desert their xsts on the Work they had orijfiual Jy contracted to do to seek the yellow metal. "Though I had tested the first grains of gold in the (ire and with my teeth, nevertheless, to lie sure about matters, we had to send them back to Sacra mento to make certain of what they were. They tested them there with aquafortis, as we used to call itin those days, though I ln-lieve you call it nitric acid now. They also Weighed the grains in water with silver, and finally decided that they really were gold. Then they sent on the news to San Francisco by messenger, where the an nouncement was published for the first time by a man named Sam Braiuian. who had brought a lot of ti'pe and a press and everything arounl t!ie II rn. "Did I stay long at Coloma after the completion of the mills, you ask? No, sir; only a few of us did; myself and 1110 t of our people only rcma.ned long enough to uig up enough gold to equip ourselves for marching back over the plains to meet those other., of our peo ple w ho were coming out to join us." "And was not the promise of an easily-made fortune gr.-at enough an incentive to keep you at Coloma?". w as again asked the old pioneer. "How could it be? Had we not our friends 011 the plains, and had we not to go forth to meet them?" "And about how much did you all make?" "Oh! it was all accot-din to luck some made" more, some made less some made six hundred or eight hundred dollars, some made four thou sand or five thousand dollars. I guess I had something like fifteen hun dred dollars iu dust. Marshall, who found it first, had none at all. Mar shall was not lucky anyhow. He was one of the original bear tlag men one of the fibbusters who thought they owned the country, and would certain ly have defeated the Mexicans and Spaniards t.f their own accord hail not the government sent out Kearny ami the rest to conquer the country oilicial y. They had selected the bear flag 11s their banner because bears were so abundant out here in those days. The first bear llag was nothing but an old strip of canvas, on which the men daubed a picture of a bear with tar, their only paintbrush being their own fingers." San Francisco Examiner. IKE HILL. Duties of the erti-.tii-at-.lrms Itoiift" of ICcprcNentattce. "The sergeatit-at-arins will please see that order is restored;" . or, "the sergeant-at arms will sec that the gen tlemen take their seats." are familiar sentences to everyone who attends the sessions of the house of representa tives. It would take a man with gray hair to rememb. r when a sergeant-at-arms has actually had to take a derelict con congrcssman by the coat collar and shove him down into his pivot chair or to slap his hand over his month to keep him from talking, ji't from time imme morial that august oliic-ial of the gov ernment lias been called on almost daily to perform the act, . especially when an exciting question is occupy ing the attention of the house. Now, Ike Hill, as an occupant of the chair of peacemaker of the house of representa tives, makes a model ofliccr. He is the bcst-iiatnrecl man in the world and will go to the end of the earth to 'accommo date a friend. But he can look alarm ingly stern, as many members well know. When the speaker gives the signal for action. Ike gets up and fixes his eagle eye on the niemlier violating rules. lie advances with deliberate tread in the direction of the derelict. The sternness on his face increases as he sees no restoration of order. He gets nearer and nearer to the offender, who then takes his scat and looks like the bad boy of a school when trying to look innocent after getting caught in some mischief by his teacher. That's the way it happens every time. In the interest of variety it is to be hoped that some day the mi nibcr will refuse to "chut tin." and that Ike. in the loyal performance of his duties, will have to "put him up." Washington News. A t'a-e of I'Hiiry In London. A London Shyloek recently attached the salary of a teacher for debt for lor rowed money. The teacher gave the following statement, which shows that usury is not yet a lost art: "In August, 1SM'. 1 borrowed ." (only) of a Mr. Louis of I'inidmiy-pavctneut, who ad vertised to lend money 'on note of hand. For this said ." I signed a bill at a month for . Not meeting it at the ene of the month. I paid him L"l for renewal of the bill. This payment of 1 I repeated every month until January, US'.' twenty-eight months (with two ex-.i-ptionsl when he increased the bill to 3. but reduced the monthly interest to l'.s, which I paid regularly until Ie 1. ember. 1V.M). 1 then offered and begged him to accept payment of the S by equal monthly installments. He re fused to do so, and I w as advised to de cline further payments. Sulisiqiieiitly . he pressed me for payment, ottering to accept a new bill for the amount above and interest, which I was unable to meet. Hence his- attachment of my salary-"' From the alove F.tatoruent it would appear that the teacher in ques tion received 5 only, paid 41. and is till in de bt for an amount, iucludiug interest and costs, of flS los M. , VVHuN MEMGnV DIES.

But," and pretty Lleanor heaved a deep sigh, "I must have a sash, an elegant one, of broad white moire; fifty dollars would aUiut cover the whole expense, moth er." Mother lifted a tired face from her sewing. Lleanor was too self-absorbed to notice it, but mother was looking ill as well as tired. She had been under a gr.-at strain lately, and this dear young daughter was now bringing her weight to add to the burden. How blind a girl's eyes can sometimes be! "Mother." sai.l Eleanor, pleadingly, "you will manage it somehow, won't 3'ou, dear?" All through her eighteen years Elea nor had been used to seeing mother contrive to bring order out of con fusion, straighten tangled skeins, per form what looked almost impossible. That there might be a limit to mother's ability in this direction, the girl did not dream. "I asked father last evening if he would fill my order for any reasonable amount." Eleanor proceeded, "and he iacghea and told me to go to you, moliier. lie said: Of course 1 want my litile girl to Iook as nice as the oLl.c is. ailer she has Worked so hard.' Ami, mother, you kuow in the autumn I'll be sure lo have a position myself, and money will bu coiolug iu tneu every uiouLh, so that 1 caa pay you baci;." t-tdl mother was silent. An inscru table expression, hardening and aging Hie quiet lace, had stolen over it at the a.Iiio.oii to lallicr, the easy-going, uiuiaidc. impecunious mau, whom every body loved, aud whose children, Lhuuus to his wife's tact, did not sus pect his weakness. He always lelt it to mother to say no. ishe must always do the Uenyiug aud reproving. A conflict Was goingon in I he mother's mind, sucli a conflict as only mothers similarly situated can understand. To deny Eleauor, at the culmination of her school career, the pretty dress and the other luxurious indulgences which her class were to have, was inexpressibly paimuL But never had it been so diffi cult to gratify her, for never had need ful wants so heaped themselves up. And the load of debt in the background had never pressed so heavily. Mr. llyl toii's business was a fluctuating one at lcst; returns were slow and often every cent was anticipated before it came. There was theauterest on the loan a rich cousin had made, there was the lire insurance to be renewed, the boys were too large to wear home-made clothes, evolved from cast-off suits of tiieir father's, and the)" had to be fitted out anew. And now, when mother was harassed hall to death, to have Eleanor so sweetly and naively present her pe tition of wants, it was more than the poor wearied woinau could endure, s-he almost gasped for -breath as Eleanor went serenely on. A carriage, a fan, white satin shoes, long, pearl-colored gloves, a liouquet!" The items ticked themselves off in the mother's mind, as sin? desperately won dered how they were to lie gotten hull-i-stly. They seemed such luust-huves to the child that it did not occur to her tos ay no at once. For a little while there was silence, aud "I'lease, mother!" began Eleanor again. But the went no further, for a very alarming thing to ik place; mother had quietly fainted away. Nothing more could be said on the subject that day. "Eleanor Hylton," exclaimed 1'uss, her younger sister, as that evening, late, the two were preparing for bed, "Iilon'l know whether you have no ticed it, but mother is just dying by inches of worry over money. We all go to her; a-id she wears herself out trying to satisfy our demands, wretches thaL we are. Common sense, to say nothing of love, shows that we must stop spending, if we are to keep our mother. Father doesn't see it, but I do. Are nobody else's eyes to be opened in t.rae?" "How is it that you know so much more than the rest t.f us, Puss?" quer ied Eleanor ironically. I'uss Hylton ,vas fifteen, and a crip ple. She hal stayed at home for the last year, studying by herself with a lit tle help from Eleanor, and sharing more of her mother's life than the oth ers. B.t by bit she had penetrated the secret of the punching economy in some details, ll .et by the lavishness in oth ers. Little by little it had come home to her that things could not go on at their present pace. "Eleanor." she said, "there is nobody else lo whom wc can go for a loan, and the butcher looks cross when he sends in his bilL Dan goes around three squares, sooner than pass the grocer's, he's sousl-amed that we owe for the bust barrel of flour. And now your graduation is coming to finish the work. If 1 w t re you, dear, I would wear my old gown just as it is, and ray old shoes, and walk to school; but I'd get' my diploma, and take i: with independ ence, not feebn-f like a sham and cruel, cruel girl 'iLto the bargain. There:" "lk.n'tsay any more. Puss; I'll think al.ut it" And Eleanor, with a pale face and a quivering lip, took up her Everyday Text Book, to read, through a mist of t gathering tears, this verse, which J seemed to speak to her w ith an angel's I voice: "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver aud gold. The color came into Eleanor's cheek, for the thought in her heart ha 1 been: "Oh! why are we not rich? Why must we always be poor, and kept down by having- to count every penny?" Here was God's answer: "A good name is better than riches." JA'ell, nobody could have a good name who built up her daily life on false pre tences as a foundation, and loving favor would cot lead a girl to add a feather's weight of care to the load of an anxious mother. But, being no braver than you are, Molly and Frances, and as fond of a daiuty, pretty new outfit as you, Caroline and Sophy, you may imagine that Eleanor's battle was cot gained in a breath. . She lay awake a long time, the silent tears stealing down her cheek uutil her pillow was quite wet. But she was so still that Puss slept peacefully, never suspecting Eleanor's tumult of feeliug. Eleanor went to school the next morning with her mind made up. and she wlk not one to change it. once she had arrived at a decision. At recess, when the girls talked over the mo mentous affairs of commencement day and commencement dress, several of them appealed to her. W hat was their surprise when she said, in lw tones, which yet were audible to everybody: "You will have to put me in the back row, girls. I find that it is not con venient for my father and mother to spend anything extraordinary at pres ent, so 1 am going to wear my last sum mer's white dress, just as it is, and I shall have. nothing at all new." Contrary to Eleanor's anticipations, this statement produced no effect what ever. Two or three of the more fash ionable girls looked annoyed, and one or two of Eleanor's intimate friends glanced at her with sympathy. Daisy Dean stole a little hand into hers with a cordial clasp, whispering: "You brave thing! I love you!" The bell sounded, and recess was over. Tasks were taken up as usuaL Eleanor did not know it, but her quiet courage had been a real relief to several timid girls, who had been dreading the expense of commence ment, without daring to stem what they supposed to be public opinion and take an independent course. If some body will only lead in this world there are always plenty to follow. And' Eleanor was repaid for her sac rifice of personal vanity when she saw the mother face light up, and felt the dear arms around her that evening. "Has it been hard for you, dearie?" said the mother, auxiously. "It would not have been, mother darling, if 1 -hadn't been a selfish crea ture, who is ashamed of herself for be ing such a baby," was Eleanor's reply. "But, now that I have settled the thing, I shall just go on studying, aud think no more about it- A few weeks later, at the close of the commencement exercises, a very ele gant and distinguished-looking woman, who had recently returned from abroad, approached the president of Eleanor's college. "Can you Veil me." she inquired, "the name, and give me some account of, a young girl who was dressed very sim ply, and sat modestly in the background, - although she bore off a half dozen prices? There was nothing to indicate poverty in her very appropriate school dress, but her face had a look of pur pose, and I am in search of a girl to act as visiting governess to my little daughters." So from the root of Eleanor's self denial blossomed the fragrant 11. .ever of her success. Her duties at Mrs. Armstrong's proved to l? very con genial, while brief hours and frequent holidays left her much time to devote to the assistance of the dear ones at home. In the eyes of the traveled and cultured woman her simp e gown had leen a positive recommendation, and it was to it she owed the enthusiastic testimonial to her scholarship and worth which the president, having opportunity, was glad to give. "A good name is better than riches, and loving favor rather to lie desired than silver and gold." Congrega tionalism COSTLY BURIAL. Surviving- Relics of the Elaborate Funer al, of Faat Acea. The majority of intelligent persons are more or less indifferent as to the disposal of their bodies after death, but it may be safely asserted that not one would be found to express a ,-ish that his or her body should be careful ly preserved in a polished oak or elm brass-mounted coffin, and in a walled grave or vault. It is the result partly of tyrannical custom and partly of leaving all to the undertaker. The latter has been shorn of much of his former profits derived from the sale of scarves anil hat-bands, and the hire of palls, plumes, feathers and other trap pings of woe. The polished cotlin and the brass furniture are the surviviug relies of the "funerals completely fur nished" of a past age, ami are clung to with affectionate tenacity by those whose interest it is to have them con tinued. But the undertaker is, after all, what the public make him. The courage and persistence of a few individuals swept away the costly and useless trap pings of woe; only a very little more courage is required to substitute cheap er and perishable coffins for the pre tentious upholstery exhibited in the coffin of the day. If the upper classes would set the example and make per ishable coffins fashionable, it would soon spread to the working classes, who are still tempted to spend upon a coffin and, a burial money which would be much more wisely expended in pro viding additional comforts and even necessaries for the living.

"Financial?" asked Sommers. with a slight contracting of the eyebrows. "Oh! no, worse than that, a good deal." "I didn't know that anything could be worse in these panicky times. What is it?" "I have a friend," said Bremner. "or a man who thinks himself my friend, and whom, for certain reasons, 1 wish to shake off, but he refuses to be shaken. Now, you are a resourceful man, and may be able to give me a hint. I have tried everything with Snaggs everything short of positive insult aud all to no purpose." "What is the matter with him?" asked Sommers. "The matter is this He has a boy seven years old, or thereabouts, and he always persists in talking of the lad; in fact, he can t talk almut any thing else, and imagines everyone as deeply interested as himself. I have nothiug at all against the hoy; he is a good enough commonplace litile fellow, like all the rest of them. I never see any difference iu boys myself, they all see ill equally objectionable. But Suaggs comes to our house, sits down, and talks about his boy, what he does and what he says, until 1 aiu nearly driven crazy. 1 hope you can suggest some thing for my relief." "1 suggest," said Sommers, "that you take Suaggs to the state of Michigan, U. S. A., and kill him." "Why to Michigan?" queried Brem ner. "Oh, simply t-evause they don't hang for murder there, and any penalty short of hatiL'ii.g should If cheerful I y borue t-J get rid of a man like Suaggs." "I didn't know you were acouain ed with him," said Bremner excitedly. "I'm not, but 1 am aitfiicted in the same way myself." "Xonsen e!" cried Bremner, "I never even heard you mention your chil dren." "I mean that I am afflicted with a friend like Suaggs it's a daughter in his case.

"1 don't lielieve any son of Snaggs will, either. The Iwr's father hasn't, at any rate. Bat, I sav, S unmers, an idea strikes me. Why not introduce Snaggs and Gregsby to each other?" "That wouldn't le a bad idan," re plied Sommers. cheerfully, "and then w e might bet on them. I'll back my man to be the greater bore." "There wouldn't le any use in bet ting." said Bremner, "for if your man is as bad as mine, it could only end in a draw." "Bring your man around and we'll test the case." "Shall I bring Snaggs to your house to-morrow night, then?" asked Brem ner. "Yes, and if you're in for a bet, I'm your victim. 1 have great faith in Gregsby, and would like to have a lit tle stake on him." "It's a serious subject with me, re plied Bremner. "Oil, very well then, I'll expect you to-morrow night about eight o'clock, though I suspect your man is not half so capable a bore as mine. " It was a few minutes before S o'clock when Gregsby pressed the electric but ton at the Sommers residence. Som mers heard him talking to Mrs. Sum mers in the hall, saying: "Oh. yes. thank you. she is quite well. I'll tell you something fuony that she said t. -day to her mother." Sommers groaned, and helped himself to a quantity of the stimulant provided for his guests. The next moment Gregsby appeared, smil ing, and Son.mers greeted him with well-feigned cordiality. Very soon the bell rang again, and a few miuutes r-ter Breamer was introducing aggs to the Iwo sitting in the smok ing room. " 'Beastly weaT.hertuis."said Gregsby to the newcomers. "I don't mind the weather myself, but wheu a man has children he is compelled to think of it." "Have you children?" asked Snaggs, with apparent inter est. "I've got a little boy myself, but he doesn't mind the weather in the least. "I shouldn't say children," replied Gregsby. "I have one little girl, and she is only five years old, but wonder fully knowing for her age, and this weather is so bad that she misses her walk with her mamma. We never trust her out with a nurse, you know." "I was fa3ing, broke in Snaggs, "that I have a little boy myself; he is seven, and he goes ont in all sorts of weather. I don't beliove in coddling children. And that reminds me of a clever thing he said to me this nit.ru ing.

"Tell it tj us. Snaggs." , "Girls," put in Gregsby. "don't have to have their hair cut My little girl has the most beautiful head of golden hair you ever saw. You've seen it, Sommers; everyone turns to look at her when she w alks out with her mother." "Humph," said Snaggs. with iil-eon-eealed contempt. "1 w as saying that I took my boy to have his hair cut, and it was the first time that he had ever been in a barber's shop. A man was being shaved aud his face was all over lather. Without a word the boy drew his hand from mine and bolted for home, running so fast that I didn't overtake him until he was at the door. Wliat did you do that for, you young rascal?"

Now, my little girl was haviug a dress fitted the other day, and she asked the dressmaker where the dress orchard was. She thought that dresses grew on trees." "I must confess that I can't see much ' reason aliout that," said Snaggs, spite fully, "if you are giving it as an in stance of reasoning, as against what my boy said of the man at the bar ber's." "Reasoning?" hotly replied Gregsby. ""I never said anything about reason ing. It was foet icaL, She said she thought that dressed grew on trees, and that ribbons were the blossoms.

I forgot it, Bremner, when 1 promised to Co me here with you." "Oh. don't go yet," said Bremner; "tell us the story aUut what the boy said to the organ grimier." "Ah. yes." replied Snaggs eagerly, apparently forgetting his iiptoiutiuent in the joy of narration ''Mr. Summers didn't hear t hat one, ditl he?

I suppose." "I am very glad to have made your acquaintance. Mr. Gregsby, aaid Breiniier, as he shook hands and wished him good night, and he added: "I wish you would come over some night and see me. My friend, Mr. Snaggs here, often pops in, and we will all get lM-tter acquainted." "Aud you. Mr. Snaggs, drop in and see me," said, Somtners; "you will be nearly always sure of meeting Gregsby here.

"That man Gregsby is a blanked idiot," said Snaggs to Bremner a few days after; "and I give you notice that if he conies to your house. I won't." And as Gregsby said almost the same thing to Summers, let us hope that the acid of one neutralizes the alkali of the other. llobert Barr, in Ietroit Free Press. DOGS ANO COPRA. The Immunity ot traeliahaira Iw Iodla from the Oiuai rcru c Kepttlex. Comparatively few Englishmen re sitting in India are bitten by snakes, though hundreds of the natives die every year from snake bite. A writer affirms that this immunity is some what due to the presence in English men's bungalows of pet dogs, and he tells the following slory iu support of his assertion: "My first acquaintance with a cobra was one night-wheu. awakened by a loud barking, I saw through the door of the bathroom my two terriers bark ing furiously in full battle front of a large cobra that was reared on its tail and facing them in turn. "It was motionless except for a slow swaying of the head, its hood was dis tended to a complete circle, its tongue darted in and out. while wvery now ami again it emitted a loud hissing sound. "It did not show trace of fear, or re move from the dogs the fierce, fas cinating stare that seemed to rouse them to frenzy. I leaped hastily up and despatched the reptile with a stick, when the dogs no longer dread ing their enemy, vented their rage on his inanimate body. "I rememlK-re.1 that during the day I had Wen surprised at the dogs silent ly and persistently snuffing around an old trunk iu the bathroom, aud I have no doubt it was the snake they scented.
