Georgia regiment. The “Sweet Bye

fought a mighty enemy on many a

the furrowed checks were well wa
tered with tears which flowed so
freely.
IXItEUAKIItai DISCaVEKKIIS.
The death of James W. Marshall
the first discoverer or gold in Califor
nia, an old, disappointed, poverty
stricken man, furnishes another sad
illustration of the fact that great dis
coverers like great inventors, larelv
reap any lasting or valuable reward.
Marshall and his employer Colonel
Sutter, fared alike in their failure to
secure the wealtlt to which they were
entitled, the one by right of discovery
and (lie other by right of ownership
of the land upon which the discovert
was made. Other men rushed into
the gold field, parceled out the land
among themselves, dug out the prec
ious medal it contained and went
their ways long before Sutter and
Marshall could find courts to lake
cognizance of llteir claims.
Tlic history of Colonel Drake, the
discoverer of oil in our own Stale,
furnishes a paraleli case to that ol
Marshall and Sutter. Although his
discovery ted to the enrichment ol
thousands ot others, and to the devel
opment ol an industry which in a
quarter of a century has arisen from
nothing to an annual Value of not less
than sixty millions, Drake secured
Homing from it and would have
died a pauper but not for
tiie pension ot fifteen hundred
dollars a year paid him by the
Stale for the last few years of ins life.
It would be hard to explain why
men who make famous and scovciiei'o
so rarely profit by them. Doubtless
in some instances the disco veriers are
accidental and made by men without
the übiiity to take advantage o/ their
opportunity. The difficulty in the
case of Marshall and Sutiel seems to
have been the absolute want o( any
law o.' means of enforcement if legal
writes in tile newly acquired Territo
ry at the time the discovery was made.
The swarm of squatting goli hunters
had every tiling their own way be
cause tiiey outnumbered theorigninal
owners of the land. When law re
sumed its sway they had secured the
gold and gone to the ends of the earth
witli it. —Philadelphia Times.
Lowell, Mass., furnishes the torii
pcrancc people with material for the
most effective anecdote of the century.
Monday last a citizen of that town
felt that he was obliged to have some
liquor. Taking his baby in its car
riage on a pretext of giving it an air
ing,lie visited the nearest rumsliop and
pawned the carriage-for a drink. Go
ing to another place he confidential
ly whispered to the barkeeper tliai
he would sell him the child for $5 The
offer was declined. The toper offered
it for $3, and'them for $1.50. The of
fer was not accepted, and, finally lay
ing the child on the counter the fa
ther said: “Well look here my friend,
take the baby and give me one good,
square'drink.” Lowell babies may
not be tougher than babies are in oth
er places,but they are certainly not a
legal tender for drinks in that city.
