 A stream ranaia' into feashsv Riv~,, and nastik- ariy rich in gold. hes heen recently aiskivered by German kumPsny. aud they have skeweted the loiat oneFship by the threatening to knife aay enc they catch pcsching on their togk. In honor of oatsndish Dutch water psiviIege, they call tt the River Rhine-o. Some of the xplosin 'soeia,ioa which has gone far into the interyur. sends wosd that the sie there is ali solti gold sot with roobees but nobody bleves these out lying parties. l The depth of the odifsrous sasis ol the saesy- mento IS ier'y- nine feet eleven inches and three quarters. Wherever we find traces of gcll. we sink shafts and draw 1t up with horses- The sand is tarna,ion heavy it puts the mustang to their metal teil you; bat thrrs help for 'em; they must hsng on with all their might and mane, or down they go. and then it's all up with 'sm.

What Is gold--what is preahus stans--withoai wimmn? Nuthin but vanity and vexashun of spirit. Solomon says--I red t t'other day on a page of Proverbs WIS agoin to use for wsd'lin--SolomOn say wuitshns 'ooman IS mere preshus than rcobies, and in kaHtry without a | petiycoat one feels the force of the remark When man has wealth he wants haTes to leave tt to; and in coarse-no wives no hafes.
