reflect in certain respects the life, his

But this was after the palmy days of
ttwett'8 Bar proper, right bank. j
I have heard that Swett's Bar was
named after John b-.vett, once superin
tendent of public instruction in Cali-,
luniia. If so, ho never there left any
relics or reminders of himself not even
a grammar. Swett's lies equidistant
from Hawkins' and Indian bars. When
Ust I passel through it the floods had
washed out every trace of man's pres-.
er.ee on one side of tlw river, leaving
th.-re an enormous heap of logs and
tHisin.vood. The bar proper had been
irnootiiH down by tbe flood, cverv h- l
cr bowlder heap, or iier.p of "head
i::L's" or "fnlinKt," cr the deep pits dug

tie I, oavrsayt with tho river's history !
could have guessed that every foot of!
tho bank adjoining; the river bad been j
turned over abd over again iu the search
fur gold. ' j
We elected one member of the legis

was never hunted for to tav hit cotn
try. There were too many otlier coini
try savers on hand, evon in our Imuio
diate Ux-ality.
Generally sptsikiiuj, Swett'l waa di
idil iu two iHtrliona. There waa the
old Kir on tho ritfht bank of the river,
ettled in '44, and there waa the flat
on the other side, whoae guldou atore
was not discovered, until 18."0. At
tmpt.s were made to give this flat a dis
tinct name. Various settler and miners
cravevl the immortality which they aup
ptisvd might thus le confemnl. For a
time it was called "Fraaor'a r'lat," from
a dialvlical S.'otchmau of that uame
who lived there. Only one of theeeuameti
would stick, and liuaUy every Unly set
tled down on Uie old appellation,
"Swett's." 1 do not ladieve that John
Swett, if he did confer his name ou the
bar, over realized the local fame aud
reputation of his uaiue. When first we
struck the diggings at Sweit left bauk
we had great expoctatioua. It waa a
later discovery, a "back river channel."
Consequent ou the discovery of pay
ground l.iHX) fiet back of the river, and
the definite fixing of tho boundary line
between tho various claimant, there
ensued the usual series of dispute, rows,
bad blood, assaults aud threatene.1 shoot
ings, NoIxkIv w:u shot Not evou a
mining lawsuit came of it. .
A local capitalist threw a flume acrvvw
the river, and brought to bear on the flat
the upland muddy water, which came
down from Columbia "diggings, twenty
Eve miles away, through Wood's creek.

The Berlin correspondent of a nyndl
cate of r"Hucial papers is responsible
for the following story: "On tho inva
sion of the rea.vembir.ig of the holy
synod in the Uus.-.uu capital it was re
solved to forward to bis majesty, iu ac
cordance with traditional usagt the
archipastoral benediction. Tho clerk
who was employed to prepare the docu
ment foriualiy communicating the, pious
resolution made a curious mistake. By
a slip of the pen be wrote 'architectural'
instead of 'archipa.-toru!,' and tho reso
lution was forwarded without tho error i
being detected. j
"When the czar nvcived it hehuiKhed
heartily and wrote ou the margin, "I
have no need of such a blessing.' He j
then dismissed the matter from his mind.
The document, however, with the imp.- I
rial annotation, found its way back to j
the holy synod, and pr . winced among the
tueuilicrs of that txsly the greatest sur
prise and consternation. Without stop
ping to investigate the matter the eccle
siastics who were responsible for the res
olution jumped to the conclusion that
they had in some way or other incurred
the czar's displeasure, and that his maj
esty's comment wus an intimation to
them that they were expected immedi- ;
au-ly to resign.
"They accordingly went in a body to
the imperial palace and humbly teudered
their joint aud several resignations. It
was now the turn of the czar to be over- ,
whelmed with amazement, and it was
only after a good deal of embarrassment
and reciprocal explanations that the
matter was set right. The interview
terminated with a mild hint on the part
of his majesty that, even in the records
of religious bodies, verbal accuracy is a;
very desirable quality." j

There is nothing imi4- attractive in the
early spring than a pansy bed. In order
to secure hlosnoms early the plants must
have attain.-d a proper t.ize under glass.
It is liece.-iry, therefore, to sow nansv
s;ed early. Any long wooden box fitted
into a sunny window in a moderately
cold room, hut where it does not freeze,
will do for a seedbox. Be sure tho
earth is rich, well fertilized with thor
oughly rotted compost and woodmoid,
