Tlie case of Jackson Grant, tlie In
dian who was at a former trial convict
ed of the murder of Dennis Allen, was
called yesterday afternoon. The pris
oner appeared at the bar broken down
and completely mined in health. He
presented a pitiable sight. Aftersome
consultation between tho prosecuting
attorney and Mr. Evans, attorney for
the prisoner, the latter asked permis
sion to withdraw the plea of not guilty
to murder in the second degree. Mr.
iMeiUHHBmylH
ly accepted the plea, he regarded it the
best for the interest of the tax payers,
as it was scarcely possible for the pris
oner to live until he could be executed
even rwere he convicted, but there had
died since the trial one very import
ant witness,and while he had no doubts
of tho guilt of the prisoner, ho did not
apprehend that he could make as clear
a case as he did on tho former trial,
and taking into consideration the con
dition of the prisoner, the penalty be
ing imprisonment for life, and tho sav
ing of the cost to tho people, he would
accept the plea. The judge then asked
the prisoner if he plead guilty, to
which lie bowed consent. The attor
ney for the prisoner then stated that
lie waived the time allowed before sen
tence, and asked that the court pro
ceed to passsentence upon the prisoner.
Grant was requested to stand up, and
Judge Bellinger asked him if he had
anything to say before sentence was
passed upon him, to which he replied
"Xo." TAJ Judge then said: "I sen
tence you to be confined in the Oregon
pi-nitentiary for ths remainder of your
i l "t'"fil hfo." The prisoner was' then
taken to his cell, ail L-. wjh be taken
to the penitentiary to-day by SI:
Norden. Of course the plea of gui
of murder in the second degree estah
I lishes the guilt beyond a doubt,
ye
i unner the circumstances, it was a
expensive trial, '
prisoner stood a good show
of not being convicted, as all the evi
dence was circumstantial, and one of
tho strongest corroborating witnesshad
died, which, would .have made it harder
to convict than before. "Standard."

Presents manifold attractions, and
the powerful claims of the periodical
to extensive patronage cannot possilly
be gainsaid. It is probably the most
pleasing magazine published, contain
ing a greater variety of choice reading
matter and more illustrations than any
of its cotemporaries. Its literature is
pure and healthful, inculcating exalted
sentiments; it is always vivacious, and
ediCes and instructs while itentertains.
Tlie opening article is a tleenlv inter
esting one, by Prof. W. "Wells, on
"Emigration to the Holy Land" and
ilr. Guernsey furnishes a second one
on the Persecutions, treating of the
"Crusades against the Albigenses and
Waldenses." "There is a charming
memorial sketch, with portrait, of the
late Miss King Georgia. A story en
tit.ed "Lady VasarJ-s Warp," by Ed
ward Garrett, is deeply interesting.
There are several short stories, some of
them adapted to children they all
have interesting incidents and instruct
ive morals and are admirably written.
Tlie poems are more tliafT" Ordinarily
msritorious, and are by Mrs. Skinner,
Mrs. Kidder, Mrs. Nellie C. Hastings,
and other talented writers. There is
the popular Exegesis by theeditor; and
in "At Home and Abroad" he gives a
full summary of what is passing in
tho religious world. In the Editorial
Department he treats of timely topics
'Putting on Airs," "Clergymen's
Vacations," "Vox Populi," etc., etc.,
The 128 quarto pages are, in fact,
crowded with good things and the era-

The Cost of It. There is a bottle
of -wine over eighteen hundred years
old that will be openea shortly on the

the cheapest possible price, the cost of
it, if invested at compound interest,
would by this time .exceed our national

The employment of female clerks in
Washington has become an established
thing, and, as it would seem, purely
on merit. At the present time there are
employed in the departpients 1,300
women, at salaries ranging from 900
to 1,S00. But one receives this
highest amount, though many receive
from $1,100 to $1,400. Few of them
resign, and few of them leave their pla
ces to marry and settle into domestic
life. The greatest experts in counting
andjdeter'tiugJ counterfeits arV
among the lailyTinpIoyces. I7f
pointment of women to these places
was first made by Secretary Chase in
1862, and the highest salary paid was
$600. Their usefulness and aptness
for the work being demonstrated, they
have steadily increased in numbers,
and have been able to command salar
ies approximating the wages of the
men who formerly occupied these pla
ces. Few of the many ill things pro
phesied as the result of such an innova
tion have occured, and the heads of
departments would seriously object to
making any change now. It is a grat
ification to see new fields of usefulness
opening up to the women of the land,
more especially when they prove them
selves so fully competent as in the de
partments at Washington.
Large Sale of Cattle. Negotia
tions wero commenced a few weeks
ago for one of the largest sales of
cattle that was ever niade in the coun
ty. The parties to the bargain being
a gentleman from Dutch Flat, Placer
county, and Messrs L. Huseman and
Doten Bros. The purchase was con
summated a couple of weeks ago but,
by request we have not mentioned it
2?v. however, we are at
pulars. The sale
Bros.
is :
estimated by the owners that theylul
about 4,000 head, wincn will toot up
to the sura of !ft,000. The cattle
are now being got up, rebranded and
delivered to the purchaser, who will
start them below as fast as a.good sized
drove is got together. They are to be
taken to the head of the American
where the parties who bought them
have an extensive range. This takes
a good many stock cattle out of our
county and is we believe, the largest
sale of stock ever made at one time.
Dr. Glenn, of Colusa, has also within
a few weeks sold a band of 12,000 head
which he had in the neighborhood of
Stein's mountain to some parties who
intend to take them to Eastern Nevada.-

There is not a little indignation
among the settlers on the Klamath
river, according to the Signal, at the
recent order for ejection from their
homes on what is known as the Reser
vation. We have conversed with a
gentleman who has been a resident
there for many years, and he express
es the belief that bad faith is evident
somewhere thai there is "a nigger in
the fence." That settlers can be driv
en from their homes and the improve
ments it has takn long yenrs of toil
to throw around thin, and their homes
turned over to the Inibtms, des not
seem to be tinctured with mucli justice.
From what we can U;irn the Indians
do not desire it, the two Indian Res
ervations within 20 miles of each other
is certainly cue more than there is any
need of. We hope to hear that the
War Department will be reconsidered,
and that justice will be done the old
settlers on the Klamath,
It is said that the heliograph is do
ing valuable service in the Zulu war.
No party pf any cousequence leaves
the English camp without taking some
of the Heliograph staff with them, so
as to keep head-quarters informed of
their movements. To gtvo an example
says a correspondent, on the day we
came first to Graedamack I telegraph
ed our arrival to the "News, but the
wire had not at that time come up;
even the tents had not been pitched.
Major Smith signed my telegram stan
ding in the sun, and not many yards
off the small tripod of the heliograph
was stretched out in working order.
By its means my telegram was sent on
to the nearest point where the telegraph
was working; and it was not many
minutes till a return flash came back,

Seven persons Jiave been poisoned

P. F. Van Hamel Roos recently tested
some of these utensils. lie heated the
pans for 'tbout two hours in a watcr-
I bath, with diluted (7 iO 8 per cent.)
acetic acid and common salt On anal
ysis the solution thus obtained yielded
a considerable quantity of oxide of
zinc. As the combinations of zinc are
considered to be very injurious to
health, and as sauces and Other arti
cles of diet .very often contain mixtures
of salt and vinegar, he deems it desira
ble that public attention should be di
rected to the result of his examination
of the effect likely to be produced by
similarly coated pots or pans upon
food.
In a recent decision the Commisr
si ner of Patents says: "As the law
now stands patent agents dp not sus
tain the same relation to the Patent
Office which attorneys pf courts of rec
ord sustain to the courts. The latter
are permanent ojlicers of the courts,
I reiaineu iiy parties in particular cases;
but the patent agent is not an officer
of the Pateut Olhce. He is connected
with the OUice only by means of the
particular cases in which he is employed.
The iaw seems to prescribe noqualifica
tions, either of capacity, thai-acter, age,
sex, or citizenship, or of any other
kind, for patent agents. As there is.
under the law, no
restriction m thn
?mployment of patent agents, so, under
the rules, there seems to
tl
