JoliuB Poppe, Anderson. H. W. Lawson, Abbeville; Tue Helmet. Where the standards wave the thickest, And the tide of battle rolled, Furiously he charged the f oemen On bis snow* white steed so bold; But he wore no guarding helmet, Only his long heir of gold I "Torn and fly, thoo rsah yonng war? rior; Or this iron helmet wear;" "Nay, bnt I am armed already, In the brightness of my hair; For my mother kissed its tresses, And ehe guards me with a prayer!" The latest tidings from Nevada con? firm the earlier reports that the great Bonanss is! no lottjger liber pride and glory of the i^ifle siOpe. The view of sudden riches whjoh presented itself to avarioioua thousands, has proved itself bnt a mirage, and of those led away by the enticing vision, many are said to have gone so far that they will never find the path badk to a compe? tence again. ? In the entire history of speculative enterprise, there hare been few parallels to tho skillfully developed mining exotlament sfhiob has proved itself ah excitement and littlo more, and of the extent smd complete aban? don of whieh we in the East have bot a faint idea. Speculators in San Fran? cisco, especially, went mad with hopes and fears, as did the fat bnrghers of Amsterdam at the, time of the great tulip mania, when worthless balbs were sold for their weight in gold. Not only warn the bulls and bears of the Bsn Francisco Stock Board involved in the fierce straggle, bat the insane desire to acquire stock in the mines pervaded all classes. Ladies sacrificed the money wbioh would ordinarily deck their per? sons with finery and bought stook; school-mistresses expended their wages; poor people sold their homes and in? vested the proceeds; all who could beg or borrow bought stook, and by no means all of them bought it when it was low. San Frauoisoo, for a time, danced to a very lively tune, snd just I now San Francisco is engaged in pay? ing the piper. ?'. D - They have got a good thing in Mi? chigan, if the experiments result satis? factorily. Illuminating gas of sixteen candle power -is obtained from tho burning of wood, or rather the gas mtde in the manufacture of oharooal, is preserved snd used. One cord of wood will make 86,000 cubic feet of good gas. The cost of making it is said to be 18 cents per 1,000 feet. As the Detroit Tribune says: "It is cheaper than dayitgbi," They are going into the charcoal business in De trolt. Am Ordinance for the Batter Observ? ance or the Sabbath Unjr.
