Sue exercised her prerogative as a j settler, and took unto herself 160 acres J of fruitful land, erecting her cabin and dwelling thereon lor tne anouea six | months, when she was enabled to secure title at government rates. Some of her Eastern girl friends haye gone C-ut to visit her, ;tnd should that region "pan out" to their satisfaction they jrill take up a quarter section of land ach and also a tree claim. They propose building their "claim shanties," which in this case will be transformed into villas or cottages, and spend next summer out there. What girls ran do when they set out to become farmers is shown by Miss Kreamer, a young girl living near Helena, Ark., who has twenty-two acres planted in com and seven planted in cotton, and will make forty bushels of corn to the acre, and a bale of cotton to the same amount of land this year. She did all; the plowing, and has attended to the ; crop without assistance so far. Aoazon*. The following challenge, issued by ^ Lady Butterfield, proves that the women of " the teacup days of patch and hoop" could hold their own at r masculine snorts: ' This is to <rive notice to all ray honored masters and j ladies, and the rest of my loving friends, j that my Lady Butterf.eld gives a chaly~. lenge to ride a horse, to leap a horse, or run on foot, or halloa, with any woman in England seven years_you&ger7 But* not a dayolder,-beeauSe I won't underv?_Iiie myself, being now seventy-four years of age. iiy feast will be the last Wednesday o? this month (April), when there will be a good entertainment for that day and all the year after, in Wanstead, in Essex."

TKai-n io o TvmnUr r>AtiAn it. is AO IV AAVVAVAA V4*MV - ?.. ? - thepriyilege of the clergyman who ties the knot to he the first to kiss the bride on the conclusion of the ceremony. Mr. Henderson, in his "FolkLore of the Northern Couties," relates liow .a clergyman, a stranger in the j neighborhood, after performing a marriage in a Yorkshire village, was surprised to see the party keep together us if expecting something. "What are you waiting for?" he asked at last. "Please,"sir," was the bridegroom's answer, "ye've no kissed Molly." Xot manv vparc 9rrr> wp flXP t.nld how a fair lady from the county of Durham, who was married in the south of England, so undoubtedly waited for the clerical salute that, after waiting for it in vain, she boldly took the initiative, and bestowed a kiss on the muchamazed south-country vicar. The practice, too, was in years past much kept up in Scotland, and is referred to in the following old song, in which the bridegroom, addressing the minister. says:? "It's no very decent for yon to be kissing; It does not look weel in the black coat ava; Twocld have set yoa far better taehaegi'en yonr blessing Than thus by such tricks to be breaking the law. Dear Wattie, quo* Robin, it's jnst an old custom, And the thing that is common should ne'er be ill ta'en For where ye are wrong, if ye hadaa na' wished him, Yon should ha' been first. It's yonrsel, is to blame." It has been suggested that this custom .-may be a relic of the osculum paeis, or t.hp rirepntation of Par tnjftfe.. ** ^2156 miorms ustnat some years ago it r-'; was customary for the clergyman to conclude the marriage ceremony with , the words, "Kiss your wife," and occajjj* sionally "the bridegroom is hard put to prevent one or other of his companions from intercepting the salute designed for himself." Fashion Notes. Soft pillows are made largely of Young ladies are wearing yoke waists. Embroidery and lace are leading garniture. Long flat trains are anticipated for winter wear.

Costumes in which everything ' matches are to be worn this winter. Bonnets have -appeared witn one [ string of ribbon or velvet and another j of flowers. "Women appear more slender in: black and dark colors and stouter in , light colors. Bronze, gilt, old silver and jet ornaments will all be much worn on hats and bonnets. Silver bands in lace-like patterns come for felt beaver blue, gray and : garnet bonnets. . The new ottoman velours silks are as | heavily repped as Sicilienne, but have j a softer finish.

Black and gold embroideries on1 rough linens are used for fancy cos-! tumes at European bathing places. The first importations of velvet and plush brocades have flowers and figures in long pile plush on velvet grounds. Long pelisses, trimmed all around the bottom and up each side with pinked rouches, are seen among the new fall wraps. Embroidery on plush is now executed with silk leaves and flowers worked on v - - linen and transferred to the plush. The work is rather heavily padded.

The throat is shortened by standing ruffles, and the shoulders heightened by a square-cut dress. A dress cut up into triangles and stiff forms is trying for any kind of a figure. Long lines from the shoulder to the feet give height. Horizontal lines crossing the figure shorten the person. Short, stout women should avoid basques or any dress that makes a deceptive line about the hips. Tall women may use the horizontal line with advantage. A woman should be wider at the broadest part of her hips than at her shoulders, therefore all ornaments which alter these proportion.' are to be avoided. Horrors of a Boll-Fight. The circus, as it is called, is simply a great amphitheatre. All the boxes An thp <*h?dv sir]p>\ to the rifht and left of the king's balcony. Here the regulation black mantillas, black fans and black dresses for the ladies are imperative, "while across the arena, in the glare of the sun, the gay senoritas of the fandango and admirers of the matadors flash all the colors of the rainbow. Time is up, a bugle sounds, a mounted knight enters and rides slowly around the ring, stops in front of the president's box and salutes. The banderilleros follow, and then come the picadores on horseback, wearing broad-brimmed hats with long feathers, a cape hanging carelessly over the shoulders and a long lance resting on the stirrup. The chulos, with their red capas in their i^dSpbring up the rear. The column comes into line, in front of the president, each man salutes and retires to his place in the ring. The knight receives the key to the door of the bullpen, gallops across the arena and hands it to the keeper. The primero espada, with cap in hand, offers himself to the president as the champion of Madrid, and asks permission to kill the bull. The president nods, the espada throws his cap on the ground, the bugle sounds, the band plays, the door opens, and, amid the shouts of fifteen thousand Madridlenians/the bull, decked with ribbons, dashes in. I shall never forget that first bull. He -was was a great black fellow with strong, sharp horns and a wicked eye. He stood still in the middle of the ring an instant, stopped to take in the situation, then bellowed and jumped clear from the ground four or five times and plunged straight for the nearest horse and rider. The lance of the picadore met him and went hard into his shoulder, but it did not even check him, and in an instant more horse and man were both gored through and tossed against the wooden barriers like a bundle of straw. The chulos rim up with their red capes, flirted them in the bull's face and enticed him away from the wounded picadore, when another horse caught his eye, which in a second more was on the bull's horns, pierc-ea through and through. The horse did not go down, and this picadore kept his seat, and both were driven against the barrier, and the bull again attracted away by the red cajfes; but the poor horse, with his sides literally torn open and the blood spurting at every step, was beaten and hammered to another " * ? ? n - -1 parr 01 ine ring 10 case me shock ul the bull again. In less than live minutes one picadore had gone to the surgeons and a priest had been sent for, and three horses had been laid out on the ground, a sickening sight. The pools of blood are covered with sand, the band plays, the bugle calls again andthebanderilleros with barbed darts in their hands come to the front. Only one of them approaches the bull, and with no means of defense,-not eyeu a cu tui u? uc-lvic ^ eves; he tantalizes him to the attack, meets him face to face, and as the mad toro dips his sharp horns close under thfr little, man's iacket he throws his 'into the duU's two shoulders, jumps aside in a flash, and, if he makes no slips or mistakes, gets away. Largatijo, the great espada, the man in Spain next to, if not above the king, leaps into the ring and goes straight for the bull. With his straight sword in one hand and a red capa in the other, he waltzes with him around and across the arena: backward and forward he pushes him, or falls back before him. The bull gores the air where the man stood, then paws and bellows and plunges again and stops. Largatijo stands in front of him and almost between his horns. The bull's time has come, and quick as lightning the long blade is driven through the back of his neck and down deep between his shoulders. He makes another plunge, t'.ie blood spurts from his nose, he glares at the man defiantly and drops on his knees. A quick stroke back of the head with a stiletto gave by one of the attendants and the bull is dead. Every man, woman and child in the vast amphitheatre rises and yells. Hats, handkerchiefs, fans and shawls are waved as the great espada bows himself around the ring. Goat-skins filled with wine, cigars, cigarettes are thrown at his feet. The king tosses him a purse of gold, and one enthusiastic Spaniard, not to be outdone even by the king, threw him all his money, then his hat, and finally took off his coat and pitched that into the arena. The door opens again, and four horses harnessed abreast are driven in and hitched to the dead bull, which they drag out out of the ring to the srrand. march of the national air of Spain. Six times in one afternoon we sat through this same performance. Six dead bulls, thirteen dead horses, one picadore killed and one espada badly gored, and the crowd goes back to the city to sip coffee and drink manzanilla. and talk of thQ bull-fight until morning.?Madrid Letter. Cold Winters. The following static ics of the good old winters are curious: In 401, the Black sea was entirely frozen over. In A TM -K,,* t-V.^ I go, llUl/ UIU> me JJia*. n. octi, i_?uo uic straits of the Dardanelles were frozen over; the snow in some places rose fifty feet high. In 882, the great rivers of Europe?the Danube, Elbe, etc.? were so hard frozen as to bear heavy wagons for a month. In 860, the Adriatic was frozen. In 991, everything was frozen; the crops totally failed, and famine and pestilence closed the year. In 1067, the most of the travelers in Germany were frozen to death on the roads. In 1133, the Po was frozen from Cremona to the spa; the wine casks "were burst, and even the trees split by the action of the frost with immense noise. In 1236, the Danube was frozen **atv\ om a/1 1 /-\-r\ rr LU LlltJ IXJttUxII, auu x cii-icvi-u^u xvjli?? ail that state. In 1316, the crops wholly failed in Germany; wheat, which some years before sold in England at six shillings the quarter, rcse to two pounds. In 1339, the crops failed in Scotland, and such a famine ensued that the poor were reduced to feed on grass, and many perished miserably in the fields. The successive winters of 1432-33-34 were uncommonly severe. It once snowed forty days without interruption. In 146S. the wine distributed to the soldiers in Flanders was cut with hatchets. In 1684, the winter was excessively cold. Most of the hollies were killed. Coaches drove along the Thames, the ice of which was eleven inches thick. In 1709 occurred the cold winter. The frosts penetrated three yards into the ground. In 1716, booths were erected and fairs held on the Thames. In 1744 and 1745 the strongest ale in England, exposed to the air. was covered in less than fifteen minutes with ice an eighth of an inch thick. In 1809. and again in 1812, the winters were remarkably cold. In 1S14 there was a fair on the frozen Thames. * TIMELY TOPICS. t The oldest twins now living in the .

Professor Riley, of the agricultural bureau,Washington, has received from Han Chow an account of a curious use made of ants in that part of China. It seems that in many parts of the province of Canton the orange trees are injured by certain worms, and to rid themselves of these nests the inhabitants import ants from the neighboring hills. The hill people throughout the summer and winter find the nests of two species of ants, red and yellow, suspended from the branches of various trees. The trees are colonized by placing the ants on their upper branches, and bamboo rods are stretched between the different trees, so as to give the ants easy access to the whole orchard. This remedy has been in constant use at least since 1640, and probably dates from a much earlier period. Modern researches im:o the origin of disease leave no doubt that impure ice is frequently the cause of typhoid fever. There was formerly a theory t.hf* process of freezinar would eliminate any impurity which might exist in the water, but science rejects this notion as absurd, while outbreaks of typhoid fever have repeatedly been found to follow the use of ice cut from foul ponds. It is probable that many cases of disease which appejir otherwise inexplicable might be traced to ! this source, since a considerable proI portion of the vast amount of ice anj nually marketed comes from contam! inated water. The matter is one which i demands the attention of the authorii ties .everywhere, and the Detroit board i " - ? I i 01 neaiui nas set an e.\?uupie ?mui | may well be imitated by other cities in ; prohibiting, after the 1st of January | next, the sale of ice for food-preserving and drinking purposes which has been cut from water that is unfit for drinking. ~"WaTers'~aI ways' seem" to have a wonderful power over the imagination. The last contribution in that line comes from a paper of St. Catharines, Canada, and is as follows : During the war of i 1812 an American squadron of war vessels, on Lake Ontario, were coming ! up from -Fort Niagara convoying a ! schooner which, it is said, carried nearly ?1,500,000 of money to pay the troops on the peninsula and on the lake. The British commander noticed them coming round the eight-mile point, and at once gave orders to engage. The wind was favorable and he met them broadside on. A short cannonade and close lire of musketry took place and the two leading vessels surrendered, while a well directed shot from the thirtytwo pounder sent the treasure ship, with all on board, said to be two hundred, to the bottom. The remaining vessels escaped by superior sailing, and the Britain brought his captives to ! Kingston. The newspaper now calls | for volunteers to hunt for this hidden ; and possibly apochrypbal treasure. 2so thoughtful man can read without dismay and sorrow the story of the young Baltimore lad who was arrested i in \"pu- Vnrlr fnr fnrcrf>r\' Thfi liov who is only fifteen years old, was employed in the Baltimore Produce Exchange, where he earned good wages, held a reputable position, and assisted in taking care of his mother, who is a widow. But this lad was ambitious. " He bought pools and speculated on j horse-races, and in that way became involved in financial difficulties." That | is to say, this fifteen-year-old boy gamj bled as grown men gamble, and com Ulll/bCU Ct JLUlgClJ dd JJIUVVJ-L JLllCll WHT" mit forgen-, in order to " get even" with the world. It is a sorrowful thing to consider that one more young life has begun so unpromisingly and that shame and disgrace h;."e been brought into one more household. But more lamentable than this is the ! fact that society is so feverish with I the haste to be rich and so callous to C the requirements of honesty and fair ! dealing, that this lad should have been | involved in financial difficulty in any I way, and that he should attempt to esI cape from his embarrassments by for! gery. It is no new thing that boys 1 should be "fast." Unhappily,this has long been true of many boys. But this particular case reveals a precocious ! greed for money-making which is start| lingly abnormal. The >*ew York "Ferries. !

About sixty million passengers are carried by it anI nually, and the daily earnings are over two thousand eight hundred dollars in ; summer and over two thousand five j hundred dollars in winter. The pilots are paid one hundred and 1 twenty-five dollars a month each. They ! are seamen who entered the river-ser; vice as deck-hands, and before promoI tion they have been required to show ; thorough familiarity with the treach| erous currents of the river.

The engineers are paid ninety dollars and one hundred dollars a month, the firemen sixty dollars a month and the deck-hands fifty dollars a month. The largest boats are employed on the North river in connection with the railways which have their termini in Jersey City. Some of them are one thousand tons measurement or as large as the smaller ocean steamers, and they are strong enough to crush through j the great ice-floes which often fill the j river in winter. j , FARE, GAEDE.V AM) HOUSEHOLD.

Men differ greatly in the amount of work they can get out of a team of horses, and the animals know this as well as the drivers. Some will fret end sweat a team when onlv drawing an empty wagon, while others will drive the same horses before a large load and not wet a hair. This difference is more easily seen than described. Kindiess in manner and tone of voice go a great way toward making the lead draw easily, the owner's handling of the reins is frequently far different than that of the hired man. Wt have seen teams kept poor in flesh by an almost incessant worry from an ill-fitting harness, an inhuman jerking upon the b;ts, or a frequent and injudicious use of the whip. Boys are not exempt from these strictures. Many teams have had their usefulness impaired by a disregard of the feeling of the horses, It is not tne weu-iea norses oniy i;nav does the most work and keeps in the best condition; he must also have a kind master, and be treated with a just regaru for equine sensibility.?Agriculturist.

"When stable manure is difficult to obtain use bonedust?one ton p^r acre. If wet, see that it is properly uramed. The months of September and October are generally considered the most favorable time fcr preparing the ground and sowing the seed, as it makes sufficient growth the same season to resist the winter frost, which kills all annual weeds and leaves the grass clean. When the SDrino; comes the crass is ready to start with the first of "the season, and covers the surface, which prevents the intrusion of the weeds ; that is. to say, it has the start of its enemies, hence the advantage of seeding down in the fall. "When it is not practicable to do so at that season it shoidd be don<? as early in the spring as possible. The sowing of the seed should be carefully done.

The French gardener gives himself up to the cultivation of a special class or succession of fruits or vegetables, and by long study and pract ice, by experimenting with various manures, soils and modes of culture, arrives at perfection. lie is also much more economical of space and more prodigal of labor than we are, or, in fact, than we need be. lie seldom suffers his ground to lie fallow; crop succeeds crop in endless*rotation; ine caauiiower is set among me mtuuu bills, ready to spread as soon as the melons are gathered. Between the rows of asparagus are planted early potatoes, lettuce, etc., in such a manner as to keep the ground constantly fruitful, and when the weather becomes frosty and the sun loses a goodly share of its forcing power large bell glasses are employed, one of which is placed over each plant?especially in the case of the salads?and heat is then concentrated upon it until its full growth is fairly attained. The enormous size of the French asparagus is f>Tiinflv rlnp tn t.hp. nmnnpr r>f nlant.innr Instead of settir.g the plants close together, as we do, a space of at least six inches square is allowed to each "stool," which enables it to suck a large amount o'nutriment from' the soil and become a strong and solid plant. Each stool is also manured repeatedly every season, the soil being carefully scraped away down to the roots, the compost being placed around them and the earth put back again. The French system of cultivating the apple, pear unH -noofh 1C Jll?A nfflllinr. TllR t'-pps; are all grafted and dwarfed. A strong wira is stretched along in front of each row, about three feet above the ground. Upon this wire a single branch of each tree is trained, and as soon as well started this branc-n is made, by heavy pruning, the only fruit-bearing one, on the tree. The consequence is that the entire strengtli of the tree goes to the nourishing of the fruit upon this branch, and the fruit becomes h:rge and fair in proportion. This process, by-the-bye, is borrowed from the Chinese. Farm an-.l Garden Nctes. Fresh barnyard manure is conducive to potato rot, and if used it should always be largely mixed with lime or saline manures.

Do not water your plants a little at x time too frequently. A thorough wetting less frequently is better. Continual wetting kills the plants. A little wood-ashes put on the earth will remedy the trouble sometimes when it has already been brought about. Every farmer should grow plenty of small and orchard fruits. "When per feetly ripe they are healthful, and will keep the system in good order : but half-ripe fruit is to be shunned. A nice row of blackberries, raspberries, currants and the like around the garden fence affords substantial enjoyment. In regard to fattening geese an experienced practitioner says: Put up two or three in a darkened room, and give each bird one pound of rats daily, thrown on a pan of water. In four teen days they will be found almost too fat. Xever shut up a single bird, as geese are sociable, and will pine away if left alone..

The Massachusetts agricultural society concludes that salt, as a manure, has the property of hastening the maturing of all grain crops; that wheat on salted land will ripen six to ten days earlier than on unsalted land, all other conditions being equal; that it incre:ises the yield from twenty-five to fifty per cent.; that it stiffens the straw and prevents rust and must; that it checks, it; does not entirely I prevent, the ravages of the chinch bug. I The quantity used may be from 150 to 300 pounds per acre, but the greater the quantity is the better. Management, says a sensible writer, is the cheapest and most practical manure on the farm. The common plan is to have but one pasture, upon which cattle must graze at all times. If it comes to the bare :>ods during seasons of extreme drought the stock must continue to grab away at the sod for want of better food. This exposes the roots of the grass to the sun and injures or destroys the plant. Suppose we should use our trees and shrubs in that way, the deteriment to growth would at once be apparent. Good management with grass is as necessary as with trees. A correspondent of the American Farmer says: I preserve green tomatoes in this manner: Before the approach of frost I spread about six inches of straw in my hotbeds and in all the cold frames that I can spare, and when I think the tomatoes are no longer safe in open'ground I pick them from the vines and place them on the straw in my frames, being careful not to heap them much. I then put on the sash and treat them pretty much as I would tender plants in my hotbed, giving them air whenever the weather will permit.

The difference between a good cow and poor one is the difference between profit and loss. The best milkers return twice as much as they receive, the poorest run their owners in debt. Touching cows, two points should be insisted upon?the progeny of the best must be raised not destroyed, and they must be bred to the best, at whatever cost and trouble. Xo citizen has a moral right to own a strictly firstclass cow unless he takes the trouble to breed her to the best milking stock and put her progeny into hands that will care for it.?Rural Home. Feeding young pigs is most profitable. A bushel of corn will produce more pounds of increase in weight when fed to a pig three months old. The cost of producing a given weight of pork increases with the age of the swine. If it is desirous to produce an increase of one ton of pork by feeding one hundred swine that increase will be more cheaply obtained by feeding pigs under six months of age than by feeding those which are a year old and older ones. The man who allows his young pigs to have a scanty allowance of food permits the opportunity for most profitable feeding to slip by and is obliged to produce his pork at an in. creased cost by feeding when his swine are older. ltecipes.

The lemon counteracts the 1 injurious properties of the "social : herb," and when once a taste is acquired for it, it will often be preferred to milk. ! Cabbage Salad.?Two quarts of finely-chopped or sliced cabbage, two tablespoonfuls of salt, two of white sugar, on*e of black pepper and one of ground mustard; rub the yolks of four hard-boiled eggs until smooth, add half a cup of butter slightly warmed; mix 1 thoroughly with the cabbage, and add a teacup of good cider vinegar. Serve 1 with the whites of the eggs sliced and placed on the cabbage. Fresh, crisp, ; new cabbage sliced fine and eaten with I good vinegar is easily digested and 1 often highly relished by those suffering from a " weak stomach." How to Can Corn.?Cut off the com, scrape the cob with the back ox the knife, pack the corn in the can with a potato-masher, pound it down till there are no spaces for air in the : can, put on tne rubber ana top, screw the ring on loosely, put the can in the boiler, and boil two hours after the water begins to boil, screw down the ring and put in a cool place. It takes one hundred good-sized ears to fill ten quart cans. The success of this method, let me say, depends on pounding down the corn until it is packed solid in the can. Household Hints. Salt and water will prevent the hair from falling out and will cause new hair to grow. Do not use so strong as io leave wane panicies upon me nair when dry. A Thin slices of bread dipped in tomato sauce, and then fried in butter until they are brown, take the place of | an omelet. This is a good way to util! ize stale bread.

Maspero, the soil of 1 Egypt is thick with mummies. Dig in j any part of the country and the pre i served cornst-s of thfi ancient Effvu j tians are brought to light. Indeed, at ; some distance from the Xile the soil is j rendered unproductive and therefore j cannot support population because of j these artificially-preserved dead bodies. ; It is, after all, a wise provision of na| ture which decrees that the body shall : niolder away after death. The preser; vation of the dead is unnatural, and, ; i if universally done, would, in time, ; make the world uninhabitable except ! i by dried corpses. The cremationists j have a new argument in the lesson taught by the burial of the Egyptian dead, but, after all, would it not be j i better to place the bodies at once into i . the earth, so that the component parts I | would assimilate naturally with the ' : s?sil to which it belongs.

A California Gold .Miner's Story. Tn the pprlv in Pnlifomia. sflv? a writer in the Downieville Messenger, claims were small and road agents numerous, and men, if they found a nugget of extraordinary size, were afraid their ground might be jumped or themselves robbed and perhaps murdered going below, and thus kept the largest gold finds a secret until they could get out of the mountain and the State. The following facts, that have never before been in print, I came across in a most singular way, and I ?an relv on the word of the narrator. In 1851 and 1852 I mined with a man from Massachusetts named John Dodge on several flats and places around Downieville and the Middle Yuba. In 1853 I lost sight of him, but heard he had gone East. In 1858 I went with the rush to British Columbia, and j worked out a good claim, and then fnnlr -a trin tr> Australia. Tn <rnin<r www*. V o O from Sydney up to the mines we camped on a creek by the roadside, where a great many teams stopped on their up and down trips, as water supply in that dry climate was a long way apart. The great teams and American wagons arrived along toward evening on the creek in a perfect stream. As we were eating supper we heard a teamster's voice that I thought was familiar, and driving into camp I strolled among the teams, and almost the tirst man I met was my old Downieville partner. He was glad to see me, and 1 being so recently from Downie ville, he requested me to call after he had fed his animals and eaten his own meal, to talk over old times in California. He owned the whole fit-out that he was driving?was freighted up, buying hides, tallow and other colonial products, oh his own account for back freight. He had married in the country and was doing a profitable business with his team. After talking of old times here in California, the whereabouts of old friends and acquaintances, he said: ; ' Bv-the-bye, George, you never knew why or liovv I left California so suddenly?" I answered "No;" but he had not slipped from my memory; but many men in the mines like ourselves were missed, and often turned up thousands of miles away. He said, "I can give you the eventful story now." " VVell, when we worked together in the summer of '52 on the Middle Yuba I heard you tell of the rich claim and coarse gold you found on Slate Castle ravine on the south fork, one mile above Downieville. Myself and Bill JLiopKins, togetner wiui aijerman pariner, -went quietly there in the summer of '53 and occupied an old cabin that had been deserted and the ground abandoned. We stripped the claim in another direction, and came across the lead containing coarse gold, as you had described, and made for two -weeks per man from -one to three ounces. The ground was getting deeper and heavy -i.??a T 4-^A ? /}?; #> iu sliip, tUiU jl suiilcu a oiuaii. uiui iu see how wide the lead was before we stripped further ahead It was Saturday, about noon. The ground continued still to pay, and we were down in a soft slate crevice, when I struck the pick into a bright lump of gold that seemed to run into the solid gravel. I tried to pry it out, but it was too lirmly imbedded. Then I dug carefully around it, and it appeared to grow larger as I dug the gravel away. "We placed one on the lookout to see that no one surprised us, and I tell you we were excited; and after some time I got it loose, and by hard lifting, and there it lay, almost pure gold, nearly the shape of a heart, ana it fitted exactly the bottom of the crevice. The quartz that was attached to it was crystallized, and would not exceed three pounds in weight. We got it in the cabin as quick as possible "the bunks, intending "to "^examine it more thoroughly at night. "We stayed away from town on nn/1 Clnn/^ov Ortrl KrAnrrllf if kJtll'UJL KX<XJ tUiU KJ y Ci^AVt */AV/U.qAAU 1U out at night to feast our eyes upon it again, and each guessed it would weigh at least two hundred pounds. We concluded not to take it up to town to weigh, but divide it some way; for if it were known there would be intense excitement. We had gold scales, but they would only weigh one and a half pounds. After some time spent in. consultation, Bill Hastings suggested a rough pair of original scales; we piled on rock and iron weighed by the gold scales till we got the balance, arid the nugget brought down two hundred and thirty-one pounds, gold weight. We burned the quartz and i thoroughly nicked it out with I " A the point of a knife; the pure gold then brought down two ! hundred and twenty-seven pounds, i and the grand specimen looked more j beautiful than ever. If we had taken it to Longton express office thrre would have been the wildest excitement. On Monday we cleaned up the remainder of the crevice and it paid well, but to us the pay now seemed small in comparison. Now each had enough. "We had at least $50,000 to divide, enough to make all three comfortably rich. Xo doubt we could have made more by exhibiting it, but we could not run the \\Ta t-.aitta tn flin r>nr>r>l nnn tn cut it up, divide it, roll each one's share up in his own blankets, and start for the steamer to Panama and the Atlantic States. I went to town on Monday evening, got a sharp cold chisel made to cut and divide the prize in eqgal shares, and it took us about alJ night to cut and weigh it with our rude appliances. " It seems like vandalism to destroy the grandeur of such a precious specimen of nature's work. At the first j blow of the chisel it sank deep into the j pure yellow metal, it was so soft and I yielding. Before daylight we had completed our singular dividend. We caved down the b;mk near the mouth of the drift, took a brief sleep, got ! breakfast, roiled up our blankets and passed through town early, not caring to bid any one good-bye, and then no explanations were required. "We left the cabin and everything for the first lucky ones to possess. There was nlontv nmrp <nYlfl no 'doubt. for the rA~?" ? o?? ? ' ground we left contained big pay; but we had $16,000 or $17,000 each, and were satisfied with our good fortune. "\Ve tried to appear like three prospectors, carrying our blankets, and hurried to San Francisco, arrived in time to board the next steamer and landed safely in Xew York. I have | many a time regretted the way we de! stroyed that natural gold specimen, j perhaps-the largest ever found in the ! world in ancient or modern times." j "When I returned to Downieville j after fourteen years' absence, I visited | old Slate Castle ravine and tried it j once more, but twenty years had nearly ! exhausted its riches; still I tried, and j made small wages, but its glory had j departed. My old partner, Dodge, was I an earnest, truthful man, I believe | tons of gold were carried below in early I 1-iL. l-.-l... oil l-Jn.lo limes U\ LI1U 1UCM ClLIVl 14AA AillUi? of deviecs were adopted to evade the highwaymen, and often large parties went below together, well armed, and, perhaps, many a large nugget, besides ; millions of dollars in gold dust, never i again saw the light until it was safely ; deposited in the banks or mints of the Atlantic States.

J 1 Scenes at the >'ew York Ilorsc Markets | The stranger who is passing Twentyj fourth street, in the Third avenue elevated railroad, does not need to be told | that he is 111 the vicinity of the great ! horse marts of the city. ' His olfactory nerves speedily assure him of the fact. If anything further is needed he has j only to glance out of the car windows ; and he will catch fleeting glimpses of ! stable boys and men, whose "horsy" proclivities are not to Jje mistaken, enj gaged in handling refractory beasts or j discussing the points of the animals j with the air of connoisseurs. Let the j stranger get olf at Twenty-third street ! station and spend an hour among the I numerous long, narrow stables that i make up the neighborhood known to ! Xew Yorkers as "The Bull's Head," j and he will wonder where all the horses come from that supply this market. | The countryman who spends days hag i gimg over a traue win see a single dealer sell horses as fast as the stablemen can trot them before the eyes of the purchasers. " How many horses do you sell in a year?" asked a Tribune reporter, recently, of a Bull's Head dealer. "Ten or twelve thousand," he replied. " Where do they all come from ?" " From all over the country ; Canada, theJSew JEngiaL l Mates, tne jJiiacue States, the Southern States and the Western States, and recently there have been importations of the thicknecked, heavy Xorman horses from France. These latter are for breeding purposes. To supply this market thirty thousand horses a year are required. Every street railroad keeps a man scouring the country for suitable horses for its use. They want light, quick horses that weigh about 1,100 pounds. The brewery and egress companies and the heavy truckmen wilTtake the largest horses they can get. The nearer to 2,000 pounds a horse weighs, the more they will pay for him. It is to supply this demand that the Norman horses are being brought to this country. I have a stable of Xorman horses, one of streetcar horses, one filled with old hacks to sell to street peddlers, and one where the young fellow who wants to take his girl out behind a 1 toppv' team can be accommodated." When the young horse is brought from the country he receives his "breaking in" at the hands of the street-car or truck-driver. In either case the result is the same. He is 'well fed and well groomed, but driven remorselessly over the Belgian V>W.l.-e fVip twn vp;itx until hfi is stiff and spavined. Then he is sold on a " cleaning out" day to a street peddler. The poor horse then finds that his troubles have just begun, and henceforth there is only the watchful humanity of Mr. Bergh to protect him. Last year Mr. Bergh kindly killed about 1,500 of these horses. Then their carcasses were sent to Barren Island. There every particle of them is utilized. Their bones are made into knife handles and combs and find a ready sale. Their hides are tanned for leather, and their hoofs are made into glue and mucilage.?New York Tribune. Healthy Teeth. The Herald (X. Y.) correspondent with the party in search of the lost crew of the Jeannette was impressed by the beauty of the teeth of natives of Northern Siberia. He saw old men of sixty and seventy with sets of teeth small and pearly white, polished and healthy. Decay and suffering are unknown. A physician of Yakutsk attributed this to the habits and the kind of food eaten by the natives, and to a certain care taken by them from childhood up. First, the natives do not touch sugar in any form, ? *-vl r\ rnocATi f.V&of". AUr LUC X V.CWVU vuww i they cannot afford to buy it. C/> * *? ** "* * "? Printing aailv large quantities "of ferinented sour milk summer and winter, which is antiscorbutic, and is very beneficial in preserving the teeth. And lastly, they have the habit of chewing a preparation of the resin of the fir tree, a piece of which, tasting like tar, they masticate after every meal, in order specially to clear the teeth and gums of particles of food that may remain after meals. The gum or resin is prepared and sold by all apothecaries in Siberia, and is much used by Russian ladies. Tlie Plain of the Journey of Death. Nearly every one has read of the Journey of Death, ninety miles wide, located in tlie "western part of New Mexico. It is a' plain covered with grass and delightful to the eye, but was for some years entirely devoid of water. The soil was Of a peculiarly porous quality, but would not hold the rain that fell on the surface. It was J the great bugbear of emigrants travel| ing through the Southwest, hundreds ; of whom with their cattle have perished with thirst within its confines. Some individual, however, went over it prospecting for water and finally, after expending some thousands of dollars, succeeded in striking an abundj arce of water in a well dug about mid{ way - of the plain, where he made considerable money supplying emigrants with water. The government I afterward bought the well, making it I free, paying the owner a very consid erable sum for it. Since that, however, the railroad lias been built across the plain and the company has dug innumerable wells, so that the plain has become a real grazing ground. Says the Brooklyn Eagle: Mr. R. C. Moore, of Messrs. Vernam & Co.,34 New street. New ; York, was almost instantly relieved by St. i Jacobs Oil of severe pain following an attack ! of pleurisy. The remedy acted like magic.
