"Tlio prices of ovorytliing ran tre-
mondoualy high in Iho year ' 4'Jj BO hich ,

to people nowadays. Everybody in Sao-
ramonto lived in tents , most of them
with only the bare ground for -floors.
You can appreciate the reason for this
when 1 tell you that when 1 bought lum

1 had to pay 5700 in cash tor 1,000 foot ,
and it wasn't very good lumber at that.
A pie or a loaf of broad cost St , potatoes

nnd in order to make nn cggnog on

nnd put up the first houses in Sacromonto ,
the matonalboingadnbobricks. Thatthesfi
flimsy buildings wer < i rnthor expensive ,
you can imagine from the fact that I paid
my bricklayers men who had boon jour
neymen masons in the east $25 a day ,
and my hod-carriers 810 n day. I com
menced to make real bricks , and early in
' 50 Upton nnd I started the first lime
kiln on the coast , at White Rock springs.
Until that got to working wo had to pay
810 a barrel for lime , nil of which was
brought around the horn. Among other
thinga that I started was the old Sacra
mento Union ; that is to say , I put up the
money for the paper as n lift for my bro
ther-in-law , Job Court. Ho.Bill Keating ,
and Mike Uarknoss were really the men
that sot the paper going. Ilarknoss wont
back to Now York , and with the money
bought a press nnd whatever other plant
was jiocnBsnry. They did very well with
The Union , nnd finally Bold out to An
thony & Merrill , botli of whom had been
working for them. By the way , the first

ono other building I'd like to mention as
a sposimon of the way wo rushed work in
these days. Sam Brannnn employed mo
in the fall of ' 52 to put up the house that
stands on the northeast corner of Califor

to the contract 1 was to have the walls up
and roof on in thirty days , with a forfeit-
lira ot $500 a day for all exceeding that
numoor. Ho , in a similar way , had
leased the entire buildinc before the
foundation was dug , and had agreed
to turn it ever to the lessees at a cer

wasn't much 'sojoring' in that work
when I toll you that there nro 1,200,000

completed in just twenty-seven days.
Sam was BO pleased with this result that

Here busker's Funeral.
I have just returned from the grave of
Edward Laskor , writes n Berlin correspondent
pendent of Cincinnati Volksblatt , under
date of Jim. 28. Berlin haa given him
an imposing funeral , such na before him
only ono other man of the people has
boon given Waldook. About eight
thousand persons wore in the procession
that conducted Laskor to his last resting-
place , and ever 200,000 people lined the
streets through whigh the procession
moved , unmindful of a terrible snow
storm , which under ordinary circum
stances would have made the streets de
serted. About an hour after the time
fixed for the moving of the funeral pro
cession the sun came out nnd continued
to shine until the coffin had boon lowered
into the grave. Then it became cloudy
again , rain boqan to fall , and it aoomoJ
as if the storm had only ceased for n time
in order not to interfere with the celebra
tion.
tion.Thoro
There is much to bo said nbout thic
celebration which the nowapapers have
not said.
In the iirat place , ono thing ia certain ;
Germany would hardly have honored the
remains of the great man , hardly would
have given them siioh imposing reception ,
had it not boon for the example act bj
America. Thismmt not bo understood
as meaning that the Gorman people had
not intended to do its much , but it is n
fact that the Germans nro very alow , and
frequently miss the right moment for no
tion on account of their ondlosa delibera
tions , But in this case it was decreed bj
fate that Herr Laskor'a sudden and pain
ful death far away from his homo shouli
intensify the grief over his loss , and thai
the grand sympathy of the Germans u
America and of many Americans brough
with irresistible force before our eyes tin
picture of the great man with all hi
splendid qualitlosinthq | strongest poasibli
light. Under such circumstances then
could bo no deliberation oven hero. AVitl
feelings of satisfaction and gratitude wi
observe how Lasker'a memory wai
honored in America , and wo made ou :
own manifestations only a contmuatioi
of the honors America has bestowed 01
our dead ata'osman. Across the ocoai
the mourners joined hands. It was jue
as though Laskcr , whoao mild heart ant
conciliatory disposition had become proverbial
vorbial notwithstanding the bitting ear
cosm ho made use qf when engaged ii
warfare , had oven in his cofl'm retainct
tlio power to bring two great natioiv
closer together , and that at a time whet
.BO many things had occurred to estrungt
them.
This feeling of gratitude for Amorict
haa found frequent and strong uxpres
aions during the ilaya juat post. In Bre <
men it was shown nt the reception oj
Lasher's remains by Landrath E. Buuui
bach , for many joaraa warm friend of
Latker , the aamo who a few years ogc
wai scolded by Bismarck because he had
lent Laskur his coach durinir n campaign
trip through his district. Yesterday , in
the BynagORuo , Dr. Frank , the clergyman
officiating at the funeral services , spoke
of the ' 'hospitable and clotoly-alliod na
tion on whoao soil the dear lamented
statesman had drawn his last breath , Mid
which now waa mourning ever his sudden
death in such beautiful manner. " Pried-
rich Kapp spoke in n similar ( .train. At
the grave the minister , Dr , Maybaum ,
once more mentioned the soul-inspiring
sympathy of the brethren across the
ocean , while in the great political moot
ing in memory of Laskor Ludwig Barn-
berger was interrupted by enthusiastic
applause when dwelling on America's
treatment of Laakor , and when expres
sing thanks for it in the name of that im
mense gathering. In the funeral pro
cession nnd on the casket the floral
tributes brought from America were as
signed the place of honor.
A aocond point is not dwelt upon by
the Berlin papers , perhaps , because it
was intended to have it work its elFoct
without help from the press. The funer
al of Laakor was in reality a powerful
and intentional demonstration against the
Jew baiters nnd their loader , Dr. Stoock-
or. Not n word was over said of thia ,
however , ypt it was the principal motive.
For aome time Eduard Laskor hnd not
boon hold in especial favor by Berlin.
Ho was blamed for sticking to Bismarck
at n time when the liberal loaders cut
looao from him. But after his death his
integrity and sincerity were remembered ,
and nbovo all it vras remembered that
thia man , who in all his working , in all
his aims had been the foremost Gorman
among Germans , had also boon n Jew.
And then the word passed around : "Now
is the time for Berlin to show that she
takes no stock in the nnti-somitio move
ment , to show Dr. Stoocker that his per
nicious teachings have fallen on sterile
Boil. " The more this motive was under
stood the more the Jowa in a very sensi
ble and wise manner abstained from tak
ing n prominent part in the preparations.
They were willing to atnnd aloof and look
on aa grateful spectators while Christian
Berlin did honor to her Jewish citizen ,
because ho was n Jew. The Jewish ele
ment was but meagerly represented in
the funeral procession. The Jews did
not desire to furnish Mr. Stoeckor withn
protest belittling the powerful impression
the celebration had produced. The Jew
ish speakers in the synagogue conaidorod
Laskcr strictly from n human standpoint ,
apart from any religious ties ho possessed ,
and four Christian clergymen , the evan
gelical preachers , Lisco , Thomas , Ness-
lor and llichtor , marched behind the
coffin nnd were the first to throw .tho
usual three handfula of earth into the
crave when it was about to bo closed ever
Laskcr.
The third point ignored by the press ,
but nevertheless noticed by nearly every
body , is of a painful and humiliating char-
actor. Neither a member of the cabinet
nor a conservative member of the parlia
ment , excepting the president , who had
to bo present ox-oflicio , nor any other
high official took part in the funeral pro
cession. "Will Bismarck send a wreath
to bo placed on Laskor's collini" waa the
question generally naked. Ho sent no
wreath. Bismarck had squeezed out the
lemon Laskor ; why should ho trouble
himself nbout the shell that was loft ? He
simply throw it nwny. The cabinet mem
bers , if they paid any attention at all to
the invitation , sent letters regretting that
they could not attend the funeral on ac
count of official business. The rector of
the university. Prof. KirnhhofF , who has
boon taken in tow by tlio Stoockor crowd ,
returned the cards of invitation with the
brutally laconic remark that ho had no
use for them. Only ono professor , Mr.
Schwendonor , was candid enough to give
the true reason for his staying away from
the funeral by writing that his official
position did not permit him to accept the
invitation.
Tliis is the whole matter in a nutshell.
Had Bismarck only shown a manly
spirit so far aa to place a single flower on
the cofl'm of Laskar , whom no In years
_ jono by had found hia most reliable sup
port in parliamentary battles , the pres
ent political struggle would huvo lost
much of. its bittornesa. Ho would then
have shown that the chancellor knows
how to crush his animosity , nnd his
blind followers would have taken his cue.
But ho did not do it. The funeral of
Liaknr , magnificent as it was nnd pow
erful as will bo its oiTect , took place
while the rulers of the people and their
followers atood by sullenly. But when
they refused to participate in the honors
to Laskar , they could not close their
oyoa to the fact that judgment waa
passed ever them by the same people who
followed Laskar to the gravo.

Tlio Story of Ills Achievements an
Governor of tlio Hoiidrm In
lHT'l-71)-Ills ) Wonder-
Work I IIR I'cr-
Boimllty ,
Gordon's experience of the Soudan was
gained between February , 1874 , and the
end of 1870. but his almost Buporhuman
activity enabled him to compress into
these hvo years tno adventures nnd
achievements of half a century. The at
tempt has boon made not with much
success to write a connected account of
his government of that country. The
endless series of fonts of which it con
sists feata of alacrity , feats of daring ,
feats of more physical endurance sim
ply daze and bewilder the rcaaor , There
is nothing like the story in the
sober pages ot modern history.
Wo must go to the mediiuvnl or eastern
romance to find ita parallel. It would
need n pen like that of the author of
"Treasure Island" to give it reality and
color. Whatever forces Gen. Gordon
relied upon in his conquests in Central
Africa were such na his own wonder
working personality attracted or con
trolled. The ao-cnllod army of the gov
ernment which aont them out was nil but
useless. Ita irregular troops , the Bashi-
Bazouks , who have done so much to pro
mote diaorder in the Soudan , were worao
than uaoloas. They were ono of the
chief elements of the chaos out of which
ho succeeded in evoking at least n tem
porary order. When ho first wont out
ho had everything against him , oven the
agents of the nominal sovereign whoao
commission ho bore. Through
out his period of ofiico
ho had hardly n subordinate
whom ho could trust outside the roach of
his own immediate infiuenco. Yet ho
never found himself without support at a
cinch. Each fresh difficulty , as it pre
sented itself , scorned insuperable , yet
each in turn waa surmounted by nn ex
traordinary combination of tact , energy
and courage , His daring was of a kind
which would have deserved the term of
madness had it not been in a hundred
emergencies his only resourcp. Yet dar
ing alone trould have availed him but
little in facing and subjugating the an
archy which surrounded him on every
aide. Ilaror and more invaluable than
his courage wna the unique gift of
winning ever the savage people
with whom ho came into contact ,
and binding them to himself
with an almost mesmeric attraction.
From the first ho sot himself sternly to
repress violence anc ] wrong , to inspire
confidence in the tribes , BO long accus
tomed to nothing but cruelty and deceit
on the pan of their rulers and ot ono
another , and to make them his allies by
leading them to regard him ns their ben
efactor nnd friend. It was through thia
simple but efficient diplomacy that ho
succeeded in the first two years of his
power , when ho was as yet only governor
ot the equatorial provinces , in establish
ing a line of stations from Gondokoro ,
his first headquarters , to Fowoira , half
way between the Albert and the
Nyanza lakea. Wherever hia power
extended ho struck heavy blows nt
slavery. Convoys of slaves and stolen
cattle were intercepted , the cattle re
stored , nnd the uluvca sot free or token
into the servicn of the governor. Nor
was it only the slaves whom ho turned to
good nccount. Even the plnve-denlers ,
whoao courage at any rate Gordon could
appreciate , and whom ho sometimes con
trasted favorably with the wretched sol
diers under hia command , were in many
instances brought under his influence ,
and made to put their good qualities to
now and better uses. For it was not his
golo aim to keep the people in order.
He sought nbovo all to encourage them
in indua ry nnd revive their agriculture ,
which constant disorder nnd the inces
sant raids of the man-hunters had almost
destroyed. Trade began to spring up
among them under hh fostering aud pro
tecting influence. Nor did the graver
carea of state prevent his providing for
the Binall wants and oven the amusement
of his people. At ono time wo hear
of him devoting hia leisure to
the diversion of hia followers with
n magic lantern and a magnesium wire
litht ; , or with firing a gun at n long
diatancu with a magnetic exploder. His
inventive genius in _ small matters like
these was equal to hia genius for govern
ment , and it was not long before the
natives crowded nbout him in qrcat num
bers with wants nnd requests innumer
able. Ono of his chief difficulties , as
time wont on , was to deal with the over-
increasing claims made upon his time by
petitioners of all kinds , who thought
thorn vraa nothing ho could not , and
know by experience there was nothing ho
would not. do. Ho began his work at
Gnndokoro with seven hundred men ,
who dared not show themselves , except
in force , a hundred yards from that
place. By the end of 1874 ho had gar
risoned eight stations ever several hun
dred milea of country. By the autumn
of 1870 , when ho returned to England ,
the whole of the southern provinces
which had been entrusted to him had
been brought into order.
But there wua gieatur work before him
in the service of the khcdivo. Ho had
never been on good terms with the gov
ernor-general of the Soudan , Ismail
Pnaha Yacoub , and his great aim of
grappling with the slave trade through
out the country could not bo adequately
pursued while his authority vrns limited
to tlio bquatcrial district. But in Febru
ary , 1877 , ho vras himself made governor
general in the place of Ismail , nnd now
followed two and n half years of an ac
tivity unequaled in the whole of Gor
don's career. The formalities of his high
position were , indeed , moat irksome to
him , but the immense labora of estab
lishing a real government from the Rod
sea to the very heart of Africa ,
the incessant traveling ho rode over
four thousand miles of desert in hia
first year of office the hair-breadth os-
capoj , the innumerable administrative
difficulties , only stimulated him. The
belief in hia mission , and the extraordin
ary confidence in the direct protection
and guidance of providence , which nro
his woll'knottn characteristic" ! , sustained
bun throughout. His firs * , business wna
to make puaca on tha bordora ot Abyssin
ia , to attain which object the khedive
had granted him about the widest com
mission ever given to mortal man ; "II
y n sur la frontioro d'Abyaainio dea dis
putes ; jo voui uhcrgo do los arranger. "
I'hcao "disputes , " which had amounted
to nothing has than several years of
bloody warfar > , ouca "arranged , " ho
hurried off to Jiia new capital , Khartoum ,
" 1 have to contend , " lie aaid at thia
time , "with mlny vested interests , with
fanaticism , wtli the abolition of hun
dreda of Arnatta , Turka , etc . now acting
aa Baahi-Bazotka , with inefficient gov
ernors , with wid , independent tribes of
Bedouins , nnd withn largo aemi inde
pendent provhco lately uudor Hobehr ,
the block paaht , nt Bahr Gazelle. " The
spirit in which ho attackoa all those dilfi-
cujtioa waa exjroaaod in the few words
in which he acluowledged the address of
rt - aA * 4
the authorities at Khartoum. "With
the help of God I will hold the balance
level. " A ahort time sufficed to sot
things in order nt Khartoum , and then
ho was of ! on the moat dangerous of all
his expeditions the supprcsaion of the
alavo trade _ in the moat recent , wildcat ,
and , aaho himself states , "moat useless"
of the khcdivo's poaseaaions the prov
ince of Darfur. A few months of rcit-
less hurrying to and fro , of audacious ad
venture surpassing anything in his pre
vious career , brought this aavago region ,
includinc bhakn. the headquarters of the
Croat slave dealer , Suleiman , the son of
Xobohr Pasha , under control. The
rapidity of hia movements had by this
time made him famous nnd terrible from
end to end of the Soudan.
| | In October ho waa back at Khartouoi ,
ovorwholmcd with administrative busi
ness ; by the end of the month ho had
gene to Dongola ; November found him
once more on the borders of Abyssinia ,
recalled by rumora of frcah disturbance.
The spring of the following year witness
ed a short visit to Cairo , where ho never
got on well , the patience and tact which
no always showed in dealing with the
wild tribes of Africa apparently desert
ing him in contact with courts and Euro
pean diplomacy ; _ but ho was soon back at
his work again , in Harrar this time , the
extreme southeast of his dominions ,
whence ho hurried back down the Albara
river to Khartoum. But ho was not al
lowed to stay thoro. By July , 1878 , the
western portion of his dominion was
again all in n blaze , nnd it was
all that Gordon and his bril
liant lieutenant , Gcssi , the Italian ,
could do to put down the revolted slave-
dealer their old enemy , Suleiman. It
wan not till tlio next year , 1879 , that the
revolt was nt length thoroughly extin
guished , though not without impressing
upon Gordon more strongly than over
the "utter usclpssnoss" of this region ,
which has novr once inoro proved the
source of so much mischief. The rccon-
qucst of the west was the last great work
which Gordon did as governor of the
Soudan , the mission of the king of Abys
sinia which ho undertook in the nutumn
of 1870 , being in reality an entirely aop-
erato undertaking. On his return from
< hat mission ho resigned his office partly ,
from dislike of the now khedive , partly
from the incompatibility of his views of
policy with these of the Ministers Che-

MISSISSIPPI
TKE COWAN COUNTY OHTKAGK3.
NEW ORLEANS , February 25. The
Copiah county inquiry was continued to
day by the United States Sonata com
mittee. Uriah Millsap , republican and
circuit judge during the republican re
gime , considered Copiah county one of
the most conservative in Mississippi.
Matthews had been a candidate for sheriff
for 15" years , nnd was elected onco. All
the Matthews' were regarded fight
ing men. Judge \Vharton , of
the ninth judicial district tes
tified , that it had boon generally as
sorted and believed that the grand juries
of Copiah county had been manipulated
in the interest of ono party , with a view
to prosecuting political opponents. Mat
thews related to witness a aceno with his
sons , starting for Uxforc1 college. Ho
said : "My sons , I do not know how
soon you may bo summoned homo to
nvengo the assassination of your father. "
They replied with tears , "Wo nro ready
to obey the summons. " Ho said four
of hia uncles had been killed ,
but their death had been nvonged.
There were four men ho wanted to kill ,
then ho would never again lay his head
upon a pillow , but , bo < ng outlawed ,
would declare war against the human
race. Judge T. E. Copper , of the su
preme court of Mississippi , detailed the
circumstances connected with Matthews'
defalcation as sheriff. Ho had
heard Matthews making threats against
the life of himself ( Cooper ) and Judge
Hayes in 1875. His will provided that if
ho should bo killed $100,000 should bo
used in aocuring the assassins to avenge
him. E. G. Wall , commissioner of emi
gration , said once ho heard Matthews say
ho had 500 organized men in Copiah
county for the purpose of killing every
white man , woman and child in Copiah
county.
