Where the standards wave the thickest, And tbe tide of battle rolled, Furiously he charged the foemen On his snow white steed so bold; Bnt he wore no guarding helmet, Onlj his long heir of gold! "Torn and fly, thou rash 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 treats, And she guards me with a prayer 1" The latest tidings from Nevada con? firm the earlier reports that the great of sudden riches which presented itself to avarioious thousands, has proved itself bot a mirage, and of those led away by the enticing vision, many are said to have gone so fair that they will never find the pash baelt to a compe? tence again. In the entire history of speculative enterprise, there have been few parallels to the eki 11 fully developed mining excitement which has proved itself ah excitement and little more, and of the extent and complete aban? don of whieh we in the East have but a faint idea. Speculators in San Fran? cisco, especially, went mad with hopes and fears, as did the fat burghers of Amsterdam at tho time of the great tnlip mania, when worthless bo lbs were sold for their weight in gold. Not only were the bulls snd bears of the Ssn Francisco Stock Board involved in the tierce straggle, bat the insane desire to acquire etook in the mines pervaded all classes. Ladies sacrificed the money which would ordinarily deck their per? sons with finery and bought etook; school-mistresses expended their wages; poor people sold their homes and in? vested the proceeds; all who could beg or borrow bought etook, and by no means all of them bought it when it wsslow. San Francisco, for a time, danoed to a very lively tone, and just now San Francisco is engaged in pay? ing the piper, -? 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 msde in the manufacture of oharcoal, is preserved snd used. One cord of wood will make 86,000 cubic feet of good gas. The ooat of making it is said to be 18 cents per 1,000 feet. As lb* Detroit Tribune says: "It is cheaper than daylight."
